Bleeding Bills Blue

Right through lewis hands too - would have been hilarious if he got the ball or deflected it. I saw the flag fly immediately on the snap so i knew something was wrong alignment wise. I wasn't sure if our guy lined up Offside or if they didn't have 7 on the LOS or something.

From what i read online - RPO and the WLB crashes so its 2 blockers vs 2 DBs. Read is right and if he catches it he probably gains a few and the clock runs to the 2 minute warning. After that you can ideally run to get that first down and kill timeouts and potentially kick a game winner with no time. The other thought is - get 7 so they need 7.

He wasn't Offside. The ball was a good 1/2 to 3/4 of a yard behind the blue line. The blue line is where he could have snapped it from if he wanted to (line judge was straddling the blue line), but humphrey snapped from a decent amount behind the line and von timed it.

Was a first down to shakir and sherfield when they ran it. Basically its the same RPO - if the OLB crashes you throw that every time. They know its coming but they have 2 blockers vs. 2 DBs and you can run to the sideline for an easy gain. If the OLB doesn't crash you can hand off and you have a better count. It was a rough drop at the end of the game, most people want to run there and see how KC plays with their timeouts. I kinda didn't hate passing there simply because playing for 3 only works if you can get the first down. Otherwise you may as well try and score 7 if you're giving mahomes the ball back with 2ish minutes.

I felt he was held and interfered with a number of times. They were also hitting him early and often.

I mean.. imagine the shock after losing that game though. Obviously he's deflecting blame and pissed off. In a loss like that, everyones pointing fingers - the seasons over and everyones unhappy. I like the idea of getting some understanding of the locker room and the long form story. But to just take like... quotes about something that happened years ago and not really contextualize it. Were people arguing? People say dumb stuff when they're arguing.

He's just doing what the PR department told him to do.

I still blame levi wallace for that. I don't care what freaking defense is called. You cant line up across from no one.

No - but most reputable news sources have an editor to vet them. Or to examine and evaluate biased writing. This is a blog.

No it isn't. He's a journalist without a country. His job is to generate subscriptions for his website. It's basically a blog - since there is no editor to vet your sources or remove the considerable bias associated with it.

I dunno, when allen starts doing superman celebrations, shying away from loose balls, and talking like a jackass in his press conferences it might become an issue. When he scored that TD a few years ago and screamed "IM BAAAAAAAACK" that was the last straw for me. We're not back, cam's back.

Come listen to my podcast! Perfect "look at me" energy.

I mean - read the first paragraph. It basically says " i hate this guy, he sucks at coaching and here's a bunch of anonymous people who agree with me" I mean... we kinda need the pats to pull this one out.

I mean - i think he wanted him to say something like - Blown away by the generosity but I can't accept it, i'll donate it to charity or something

To me he always came off as a really selfish player. You can have them, but they shouldn't be the face of your franchise or your QB for that matter. Not good for the locker room, the meetings etc.

Not paying 8 dollars to read an article - you can buy books for that and it's a total hit piece. The top thing is the 9/11 one. There's a thing about him being pissed about the WRs buying the coach a car and not wanting him to be friends with players. When Brad pitt says in a movie you shouldn't be friends with the players because you need to be able to cut them - its a good point - but when mcdermott relays the same message, he's a tight ass. Something about him disliking cam newton and blaming him for ruining the panthers. Not wrong IMO - Cam's a selfish dude and made that team about him. Teams win, not players.

They WERE the best performing branch for Dunder Mifflin FWIW. David Wallace even had him in his office trying to figure out why.

People on twitter seem bothered by his statement about newton ruining the panthers... Is he wrong?

I probably would if I was playing. I expect the same from most of our guys. You know the man, you know his character. He's weird quirky, awkward, and apparently cringey as hell with some of his speeches. He sounds like a micro manager. He doesn't seem to accept criticism and blames others (who doesn't do this?) But he cares about everyone in that organization as a person. He's instilled a sense of purpose family and comradery within the organization that didn't exist prior to him. If that's not enough to want to win for the man, i don't know what is.

Maybe he was trying to talk about the one that didn't crash into the towers? and how they banded together to stop terrorists? Lines got crossed

Might have been shooting from the hip and just.. *WHIFF*. It's like telling a funny story that you realize about 30% in... isn't funny. Then you have to finish it 🙂

It worked out - he was not a good coach.

I mean if it were me? I'd be really pissed off. And in turn... the team is going to be pissed off because I'd be very likely to take it out on them in some capacity. Maybe it'll light a fire? At this point in the season with everything falling apart, we can only hope that he's saved his best coaching for right now.

Do they win a super bowl with Winston? No. They were 3rd in yards/points in 2019, and 1st in passing yards. However they were last in the league in turnovers. With Brady, the sack rate improved from 7% to 3.3%. So half as many sacks. INT rate went from 4.8% to 2.0%. About 60% drop off in turnovers. TD rate went from 5.3% to 6.6%. Completion % went from 60.7% to 65.7%. AY/A went from 7.1 to 8.0. Drop rate increased from 3.8% to 5.3% - more drops with brady than winston. Broken tackles decreased from 1 every 15.9 receptions, to 1 every 24.1 receptions. More players broke tackles with Winston than Brady.

I wouldn't consider Brady's "late at tampa" super bowl as a didn't deserve it. The team was 7-9 the previous year, and 11-5 with him. 10 TDs to 3 INTs in the playoffs of 2020. 108 TDs to 33 INTs over his 3 years in Tampa. He also probably got screwed over on the 2021 MVP tbh.
