Bleeding Bills Blue

Remember when buffalo was tanking? Traded Watkins and Darby for gaines/matthews and 2 picks Traded Ragland for a pick Everyone thought it'd be the worst team in the league, and they came out and won in week 1. They even moved dareus midseason for pennies on the dollar.

His Kaepernick offense went to the super bowl and nearly won. It's an offense that works really well with a great defense. Typically a high sack rate but low turnover rate, and a top level rushing attack. Keeps throws to mostly hitches/comebacks and in and out breaking routes, with complimentary go routes. Not a ton of YAC plays but it makes ur QBs reads easy high low reads, uses the sidelines, and uses your QBs athleticism.

His only issue is taking too long to get plays in. Was a problem in San Francisco as well as here. . Mcvays got his guys to the line so he can see what the defense brings and we had tyrod scrambling and clapping his hands to try and get a snap off.

That one was an RPO too so its always a little tricky - you're reading a linebacker on whether to hand off or not, but also need to set your feet and deliver the ball. He didn't set his feet and thus, ball didnt go where he wanted it to.

Nothing at all - i think you typically would prefer to carry 4 active backs when 1 is a fullback only though.

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.
