Bleeding Bills Blue

I get that they made the playoffs a year ago, and spent on new players - but they went 7-2 in 1 score games and 4-0 in OT. As for this year? The offense hasn't been amazing set the world on fire, but they're mostly fine. The defense however, has been among the worst in the NFL. They have 3 interceptions, and 6 total takeaways in 9 games, 28th in yards and points allowed, they dont stop the pass or run really. Chandler Jones got Miller money, and has .5 sacks.

Plus the cap is there for a competitive balance purpose - signing bonuses are paid up front. They gave Adams and Jones 27M in signing bonuses, and have another 28M in cash roster bonuses to them in 2023. 13M more to Crosby, and a guaranteed 10.5 roster bonus in 2023. Beyond that there's definitely bills associated with relocation and new stadium that need to get paid, as well as Gruden and all the other people you fired who were under contract.

And he flushed himself right which gave him exactly 1 target. Correct on the mesh call - i dont like how everyone ends up in the end zone though. Also, what the heck is davis doing... again. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2022/11/16/23460413/bills-red-zone-offense-josh-allen-patrick-peterson-interception

It was a really bad play. They flushed him and played contain. His best choice was probably to not go right and to cut back left.

Inexcusable to not run the ball one time on 3 plays from 2nd and 2. If you got sacked or something on 2nd down i could see it, but if you plan on going for it on 4th, run the ball on freaking 3rd. RPOs are way down, so are PA plays. His 2021 splits for both are that those are favorable looks for him, yet we call those plays less. He also has insanely good numbers for both this season... yet we call those plays less. Other than that numbers are looking fine outside of the turnovers. Yards per attempt is up, TD% is up, net yards per attempt, rushing yards per attempt, YAC per completion. He's been pressured a lot less, but sacked a bit more. Offense just needs some variety. The drop back and pass from shotgun offense is humming from 20-20. Last year Allen had 28 TDs and 2 INTs, with another 6 rushing in the RZ. This year its 12 and 3 with 3 rushing. Clean up the turnovers, and convert a few more and its literally just as good as last year. Buffalo had 12 non-allen redzone rushing TDs in 2022, and 5 came in the final 4 weeks. This year they have 3 non-allen red zone rushing TDs for the entire year through 9 games. I'm not sitting down one of the few weapons that has worked inside 10 yards (4 of 11 TDs). It was a terrible playcall on 4th and 2. No Mesh, no rub routes, no stick route. The play was literally designed for allen to run around instead of just getting the ball out quick which is what teams normally want to do in the RZ.

Then its holding... Why does Davis get such a pass but Mckenzie get such hate?

I'm not taking Taron Johnson out for Terrell Bernard. Were talking about like 25 LBs of mass, and a considerable loss in football skill.

What should he do? If hes on the field the ball might get thrown to him (on 4th down) that he can't catch. On the play before the 4th down INT Davis just stopped running in the middle of the field... directly where mckenzie was going to run for a likely TD. To me that seems like Davis made the mental mistake.

Yep - then he be comes dawson blocks. Yeah, JuJu going out sort of forced their hand and Toney looked fine.

Singletary literally had a run in this past weeks game where he juked like 3 different guys. What are you talking about?

Edmunds is loved around here? He played well in this game... i don't know that you can really argue against that.

They can injury settlement him possibly? I think once you hit IR twice though ur cooked.

Benford did completely whiff on a tackle that resulted in an 81 yard TD....

He's an alright return man, I'd like to see him play offense but its 2 years in and the most i remember was a cool play in a preseason game from Fromm of all people.

We play all the teams in our division at home once, and NE also in foxboro. Win those 4 games and they win the division. I don't think i care who wins this game.

There are no limits to how many, and a player must be on IR a minimum of 4 weeks. When he got hurt they carried him to the original 53 man roster then added him to IR. If you add someone to IR pre-53 in preseason, they are done for the year. PUP requires a pre-camp injury.

Footballs funny like that. All the juggernaut colts rosters kept losing in the playoffs - then they win one and manning largely played pretty poorly in the playoffs and were carried by Addai and Rhodes. He goes to Denver and averages like 40 TDs per year and they don't win until he falls off a cliff in 2015.

I have hill and st. brown - but i just lost goedert. CMC on the 49ers is nice though. I'm trying to make a move for a QB. St. Brown and Evan Engram for Herbert, K. Allen, and Kmet. I currently have... just wilson because the waiver QBs are trash and this guy has fields and lawrence still.

The only problem is the lions actually play at 1PM on sunday so... thats gonna be tough to get any detroit fans to come out and support the team. They also play cleveland and they sort of fit the same rust belt persona as detroit and buffalo.

I'd say Allen v Brisset gives us a huge advantage in the snow. Our QB is faster and a much greater threat to run. Snow also negates speed. Singletary has really quick feet and small cuts so i think he (like mccoy) would thrive in a snowy environment.

Like all of our first round picks on the roster are banged up or have missed time White - 0 games Allen - Injured Elbow Edmunds - Injured... everything it seems and has missed starts and time. Oliver - Missed time Rousseau - Just missed a game Elam - Just missed a game and has been banged up.

I look at it this way... was the 2006 super bowl winning colts roster their best team? Probably not, but they played a great 4 games in the playoffs. They didn't have a first round bye, and won an away game. They won an ugly game against KC and a slugfest with the #1 defense ravens in baltimore. They got the playoff monkey off their back and beat NE. To summarize - Football is weird and unpredictable. Denver Broncos with Peyton.

The concept is sort of a double slant follow in man coverage- and it probably works for a TD to mckenzie if Davis finishes the route, but he stopped so mckenzie essentially ran right into a defender.

Yep - jet sweeps can function as the pin block too. Dawkins and Doyle both had TDs in a PA naked bootleg.

Why did davis stop? He closed any window you would get on mckenzie.
