Bleeding Bills Blue

Yeah - depends on health and the opponent.

He must've read how everyone thinks he stinks so he just wanted to show that he could crush one

I guess..? Rams are a tough defense so its hard to know for sure. They bottled up kamara quite a bit once teddy came in.

My thing? Daboll has watched NE the last few years... Michel and Burkhead kind of form a solid 1-2 pairing.

Gore and Yeldon for at least a week - No one has hit IR yet and its tough to carry 4 running backs and a fullback for an extended period.

Whatever the highest paid QB is - i want 10 million more if I'm Mahomes. The head and shoulders money is nice, but lets be real. First contract is the selfish one. Maybe take a team discount on the 2nd one, once you've made 200 million.

Most people had the steelers at least competing for a playoff spot, and they got absolutely thrashed by the patriots in every facet of football.

Most of the 2nd half drives were harmed by penalties it felt like

Looking like a WR rich draft next year - and its a position of need... so i would think the 1st is off the table entirely.

I guess? I think a lot of it has to do with forcing the defense to make on the fly adjustments. They line up I or offset and see what they get, if they don't like it then motion. I know you can do the same thing with the TEs but we may prefer running out of I or offset I in those situations. Could also be something we saw on greggo's film that makes the checks really easy and obvious to read.

Depending on how the D lines up though, you're looking at likely getting a hat on mosely in the hole vs. him free running into the gaps if there is no lead blocker. Difference of a few yards on a running play most likely - especially with gore.

The idea is you line up with dimarco in the backfield with gore - if they give you a look you like you can just snap it. If they stack the box, or stack their line inside, you just spread it out and identify the matchup. Sweeney is not lining up in the backfield as a FB, so its a different look that you'll get.

Yeah - i thought i had strep and they told me mono... no treatment other than like tylenol and fluids. I assume he's got like a nurse at his house giving him IVs and stuff to try and get him ready as soon as possible. It's tough though, even as a QB he certainly has to be able to exercise.

I guess...? Sub 60% career comp% and didn't play a game last year. Not to mention... It's become clear through 1 week that they have to be able to attack down the field or their offense gets stuck in the mud.

Worst part of mono for me was how food just tasted like crap. I couldnt imagine lifting and exercising daily at the beginning though.

I agree with this sentiment. He's sort of like Josh Reed. He'll make some plays here and there, but its seeming more and more like he'll never be THE guy. Had issues with drops, and just doesn't seem like he's jumping off the page as this always open dude. It's nice to see his blocking has improved though. I don't really know what I'm expecting from the 37th pick anymore tbh. The jets are cutting 3rd rounders and we're giving meaningful playing time to 7th rounders and UDFAs. Total crap shoot at this point. However - he's a starter at a position that has a notoriously steep learning curve. Do i wish we had drafted JuJu? Yes. I'm also not going to lose sleep over it, teams miss on stuff like this all the time.

I miss ESPN for college football and MNF - but i do have my friend logged in on my xbox. I end up playing football on saturdays half of the fall anyway so i watch games at the bar.

Yeah - they did them no favors there. 2 pats games, 2 nfc games, a PO'd browns team. Who knows with jax and their new QB but i imagine their defense will know how to stop an adam gase offense.

Still a lot more talent on the jets O than the fins. Bell, Crowder, Anderson, they just added Thomas too. Certainly not ideal though to lose a young guy like enunwa who you just locked up. They even still have talent on defense. 2 solid safeties, a stout defensive line.

If we both finish 9-7 its the primary tiebreaker. That's why it falls under a special importance. If we're both 9-7/10-6 and we beat the ravens and steelers but lose to them it doesn't matter unless a 3rd team is in there.

They're built a lot like Buffalo honestly. Play 2 of their 3 last games against houston. Could be for the division there. They draw a fair amount of high powered offenses this year... They also have the AFC west - which would be great except the home games are LAC and KC. So they travel west to play Oak and Den... It's a rough schedule. I see them finishing like 9-7 and losing tiebreakers. We NEED to win that game against tennessee... the stretch of ravens/steelers/patriots is going to be tough to grab a win. I think its do-able but thats 3 veteran head coaches who have made their careers on shutting down young QBs. I'm not all in on the lamar jackson train quite yet, just because it seemed like he had hours to throw in that miami game - but they were in the playoffs last year so clearly they're talented. Key is NOT turning it over at all, let alone 4 times.

I know early we were thinking trade down, but when oliver fell to 9 it became clear we were on the phone with him immediately.

Defense is McD's thing - and honestly a good defense is still really important. Doubtful that Frazier would leave anytime soon - he won't get sniffed for a HC in this era of young offensive guys. He also seems to work well with McDermott honestly.

This is why coachspeak exists... People hate that mcdermott doesn't really say much of anything about his players, neither does Belichick. Right after the game? I dunno, need to see film. After i see the film? On to the ______, lets talk about them. And when i do, i will have nothing but compliments for that team. Then you have McVay talking about a called back penalty from a preseason game in 2017 when this guy threw a pass. Or ya know... coaching your players? Not ripping them apart in a press conference. This is why i hate when coaches call plays. Separates you from the coaching too much - Gase is probably only talking to other coaches and the QBs for the entire game. If he didn't like Andersons route, he should be telling him right away - and COACHING him. Not just telling him he sucks.

I knew he had a quick first step and was definitely a high motor type of guy, but he plays with a bit of an edge too. Once he's free he's like shot out of a cannon rushing the QB.
