Bleeding Bills Blue

Why wouldn't the refs blow the whistle when the QB is in a 330 LB dudes grasp moving backwards? Kept stalling out, never went for much of a kill shot either. I miss the deep balls up 14 in those situations. We kept them deep for the most part which definitely helped the defense get stops and prevent FGs etc.

I thought he played fine. Rapp on the other hand... woof. I assume we'll have benford and white. I do think its a need come draft time, but i'd like to avoid spending a 1st round pick there. I think with our surplus of picks we can probably grab one somewhere in the draft though. WR2 - Davis UFA CB3 - Jackson UFA 1T - Jones UFA, everyone else gone 3T - Phillips gone S - Hyde gone OT - Push Brown DE - AJE free agent, same with Floyd

I don't know why we don't just go tackle eligible, throw a fullback out there and just hammer it home. It was less than a yard, you could sneak if you wanted but even if you don't want allen in there you have murray and you need a crease about as wide as my finger for him to get the needed foot and a half. Right - it beats the old allen who would never hand off on a read option? But sometimes you read it wrong.

I like spreading it out against the blitz.

The handoff takes too much time. It just doesn't work there, reading a linebacker or not thats gonna be clogged. It's likely an RPO or read-option look out of shotgun - just need to spread the opponent out a bit more for you to be able to execute.

Yeah, I like that motion though. It gives u a quick pitch option and a race to the edge, u can also screw up some of the run fits, generally distract them. Kids got some serious wiggle too.

I'd like to see Harty plays in the red zone a bit. Sudden quickness there is so tough to defend in space and u usually only need a couple yards.

Burst seems fine. He just can't bend very well right now. Snaps help tho, hopefully he can get some of that back.

You can get that same bag of donuts in 2024. Doesn't make a lick of sense to trade him this season as it would increase his cap hit for this year, same as cutting him. You'd be off the hook for guaranteed salary, but the bonus front loads up to 5.35M.

Every OC is a genius when they can run the ball and have time to throw. We had 5 pressures and 1 sack in the game. NE had 14 pressures and 1 sack. We were under pressure for 31%, they were under pressure for 15.6%. They didn't drop any passes. Mac had 100 air yards across 30 attempts. When we blitzed, he hit the hot receiver. When we didn't blitz, he'd just stand there on the spot, or step up into the pocket - and throw short in windows.

I'm not trading him when his value is absolute 0. Whats the point of a 2023 pick swap?

His hands are small (smaller than harty or mckenzie), he catches with his body too much, and will drop passes. He's also not great on deep passes for someone that fast. Based on this...? Elam? Isabella would be likely due to the fact that we have 1 healthy TE and want the extra depth for a 3 WR game if i had to guess.

Yeah - he's responsible for the initial push into the line - then he falls on top and his teammates push him further.

We kept lining up knox there for fake ones... why not just have him do it? (yes I'm aware he's currently injured)

Want nothing to do with that guy and his 5th year option guaranteed base salary in 2024.

When your team can't score... you're going to lose some winnable games though.

1T players usually don't go super high in the draft. There are notable exceptions (Poe, Vea, Ngata), but usually a 1T going in the first is because he's got some elite quickness, hands, or pass rushing ability. Looking at our team needs, depth etc. WR is up there, but doesn't necessarily require a 1st round pick. WR - Davis will get paid, and i don't see us being the payer RT - Room for improvement here and it has definitely been the weakest position on offense this season DT - No depth under contract behind oliver in our rotation NT - DQ is a free agent - love to bring him back. Need to get younger here DE - Will be down to Groot and Von. I think Von will be able to sway a free agent to sign here though S - Free agent Hyde, and Poyer is on an expiring deal. Poyer can free up cash if released, but my assumption is we guarantee the deal and push the hit so we have some level of continuity back there. Tre is back - as are all the other corners but Dane. With a surplus of picks (1,2,3,3,4,5,6,6,6,7) i expect we'll take at least 1 CB.

Its worse when you 3 and out, they get good field position, and then execute the game script.

Also doesn't leave time to set protections, motion players around, deal with crowd noise, etc. Also doesn't leave time to set protections, motion players around, deal with crowd noise, etc.

I think its possible he's a great player... i think its also possible he's not playing that well at the moment. Doesn't mean he won't again, doesn't mean he has reached some level of cap or something. It's sort of the nature of sports... You can break everything down to stats, numbers, whatever you want... The patriots have the worst offense etc. Well on Sunday they played well. Players made tough catches, mac was more accurate, guys were breaking tackles, they seemed to actually believe. You can try and figure out why that was - but it could be simply a good week of practice, or just a good day at the office.

Underthrown sail route. He seems to be struggling with placement on down field throws at times. You want that ball almost out of bounds and his throw... was not almost out of bounds.

So what if that exact same trade happens but its diggs for pick 21 to the eagles. Eagles get Diggs, Vikings get Jefferson @21 - buffalo gets... Reagor or Aiyuk. Oh but now we'll know we need to trade up! You don't get the benefit of hindsight without the rest of the league also getting it.

Is this a weekday? What day is this?

So the only guy who actually has a super bowl ring should be in the background of a players only meeting?

Right? Day off? In this economy?!
