Ridiculous. Motor was gashing them. Dorsey decided to stop running the ball. Cook starting to look good too.

I’ll take the W. Josh got a little complacent in the second half. The outcome really wasn’t in doubt when the Packers were running down by 3 scores. Not happy with the 2 picks that was too loose. I wish they would have stuck with the run more in the 2nd and 3rd quarters though. Dorsey getting a little pass happy.

I doubt Kim is in a position to care about football players right now. There’s a reason we haven’t heard a peep from her since she was hospitalized.

I didn’t see the play. Was he hit or was it non contact? Just curious doesn’t really make a difference

I agree with everything you said, but the fact is how and when you restructure contracts is part of cap management and Bean seems to be very very good at it. I was being a bit facetious when I stated the cap was a myth but it’s not nearly the hard stop many act like. You aren’t considering the fact that the cap is going to go up as well every year. I’ve seen predictions from 12-30 a year as the TV and gambling money comes in. You can bet the teams have a much better idea of just how much the cap will raise each year and what the future will look like.

Everything Rock a Bye has said about the amount of cap space we can open up by restructuring is true. You can argue whether or how it may impact us down the line, but Bean can clear close to 60 million if needed (he wont clear that much). That’s EXACTLY why he structured these contracts the way he did especially with the foundation pieces that will be around for a long time. The cap is a myth, I firmly believe that. It gives GMs an excuse to tell the fans when they don’t want to pay too much for a player (we really wanted to keep him, we just couldn’t fit him under the cap). What people aren’t realizing is the cap is going to EXPLODE in the next few years. Not only the huge TV deal, but legal gambling has been an absolute gold mine for the NFL. Everything I’ve read and heard about gambling says that the amount the NFL is racking in vastly exceeds expectations. As long as you have an owner who’s wiling to write big checks when those restructures come into play, which we do, we can keep this train rolling for a loooong time.

The site wouldn’t let me be RunTheFuc**nBall, which I scream at least once a game every game. Latest example was second and goal from the 2 with 3 straight passes against KC. Never gets old.

This is TBD at it’s best. Thanks for all the info I’ve got a lot to read up on this weekend

So I've been listening to a few podcasts discussing the running game and how we've been trying to establish a wide zone scheme but against KC we ran more gap scheme pin and pull concepts which our O-line seems to execute better. Last year when our running game got moving towards the end of the year it was the pin and pull concepts that seemed to thrive. So my question to those smarter than me is why do we keep trying this zone run scheme? What is the advantage to a wide zone as opposed to pin and pull? It sees to me if we were fairly good at the end of last year with the pin and pull, why wouldn't we roll that out at the beginning of this year instead of the wide zone? Is there some advantage to the wide zone that I'm missing? Are there other wrinkles in the offense we want to run that depend on a zone scheme? Just curious because to me I'd just keep hammering the pin and pull for the most part. It seems they went to it more in the KC game and maybe we are seeing that shift now but they definitely were trying to establish a zone scheme and I'm not sure why.

You guys on your high horses are hilarious. Every single football player has been on some sort of PED at one time or another. It’s arguing semantics about the timing or the substance used. PEDs probably have the least impact in football of all sports and are mainly used for improved recovery (ie TB12’s growth hormone plan) Smith’s estrogen level was raised because most testosterone based anabolics get converted to estrogen to some degree. They tested him in the window where the testosterone level had normalized but his estrogen was still elevated.

Dude you are second tier behind FilthyBeast and Gene when it comes to your opinions on the Bills. I’m not giving the Bills a pass at all, any W is a good W I don’t care how it looks. My opinion, which you called flawed and are absolutely entitled to do so, is that the Bills mistakes were of their own making and not the result of KC causing us to make mistakes. I’m not impressed with KC’s offense, I think it’s limited and is based on Mahomes and Kelce playing out of their minds every single game which I don’t think is sustainable. The rest of their offense is a bunch of jags including JuJu. 2 years ago we were behind KC. Last year we were even. This year we are better. Now, that doesn’t mean we will win every matchup with KC from here on out and they could definitely beat us in Buffalo in the playoffs. Any given Sunday. They are the second best team in the AFC right now close behind us. But they are behind us. Buffalo is going to crap the bed a time or two before the end of the season and who knows what injuries are going to take place. But, right now I think we are clearly the better team and we won in Arrowhead despite making mistakes that in the past would have meant a loss. That doesn’t mean I think we are going to o run the table or are a lock to make the Super Bowl. Any given Sunday. I always relax after a Bills win and I’m especially relaxed since we didn’t need to play a perfect game to beat them in their own house. Again.

I’ve always been a pretty objective Bills fan as passionate as I am about our team. You seem to have a pessimistic outlook of this team which clouds your judgement weekly. The Chiefs were in this game because we were sloppy on offense, period. McKenzie’s fumble, his 4th down screw up so turnover on downs, our near inability to convert 3/4th and short which are usually gimmies. Thankfully our defensive additions to the D-line and our secondary depth overcame our offenses miscues and Allen was his typical Allen self. If Buffalo had played a clean game, we win by 2 plus scores. I wasn’t impressed by KC’s defense and yeah they were missing guys too I know. Mahomes basically has Kelce, that’s it. Both of them are absolutely all world players and against most teams that’s enough but not us. Their O is nearly 100% dink and dunk, except when Hamlin misses a tackle and JuJu runs for 40 plus yards.

Buffalo is clearly the better team right now. With all the mistakes in the first half, to be tied going into the half was ridiculously fortunate. I didn’t think they’d be as sloppy in the second half and was fairly confident we’d pull it out. If we had any semblance of a short yardage rushing attack it wouldn’t have been nearly as close. Glad to see the QB sneak back in the game plan but man 3rd/4th and 1 should be basically automatic. I wouldn’t be surprised to see KC drop a few more games. I think this game is where they start to fall off but I expect to see them in the playoffs considering how weak their division turned out to be when I thought it would be a meat grinder.

This is sarcasm right? Never go full petard Beck may use way too many quotation marks, but this is a reference to blowing oneself up with their own bomb and not a slight to the mentally challenged

YES!! We didn’t even play against him and we get a Breece Hall thread! Awesome!

YES!! He didn’t even play but I knew we’d get a Edmunds bashing thread out of it! Awesome!

Do some of you guys even watch what the defensive strategy is before you start blabbering nonsense? I’ll give you a hint - the whole concept of todays game plan was to keep everything in front of the DBs and to the outside. Nothing in the middle, nothing deep. The out’s that Pickett was hitting against Elam were deliberate, they were there the whole game. Yeah, he definitely could have been a little tighter but he wasn’t smoked the whole game, that was the D. What happened when he was able to man up on a guy through his zone down the field? He picked it off. I’m not saying he had a great game, but the hot takes that “Elam was torched” show a lack of understanding of what was being given to the offense and kudos to Picket for not trying to force it an taking what we gave him. Unfortunately for him, sometimes you have to push it in order to win the game and he couldn’t

Bravo Clown Troll, Bravo

This is very simple and people are getting lost in the weeds, which is exactly what the NFL wants. The Dolphins deliberately used the loopholes in the NFL concussion protocol to allow an obviously concussed player back onto the field in order to win their Super Bowl against us. Patients are not protocols. Protocols serve to remove any critical thinking from the caring of patients and are useful in some circumstances where you want to act quickly and not have to think under pressure (such as ACLS, Difficult Airway, Trauma Resuscitation). The Miami docs and coaches used the protocol as cover to deny what they knew to be true (he had symptoms of a head injury walking off the field) and hide behind it to get Tua back on the field. Disgusting on so many levels. There should be severe consequences to everyone involved for allowing Tua to be placed in a potentially life threatening situation by playing 4 days later and suffering a second concussion, but there won’t be.

So wait, a bunch of you football geniuses who were convinced Edmunds sucks have now changed your minds because he had a microphone taped to his uniform. nothing has changed at all except now you’ve heard him speak more than you thought, even though since day 1 both McD and Frazier and every single player has said he’s the leader of the defense. Love this place, it’s Comedy Central sometimes.

Because they wanted to see if he was going to continue to improve with another year of maturity and a competent D line in front of him. He’s balling out now, they’ve got their answer. Yeah its going to cost them more than it would of but they weren’t sure 2 years ago.

I’ve been saying this for years - McBean LOVE them some Edmunds. He’s not going anywhere. Neither is Oliver. Both those guys will be extended. Why? Because the salary cap is a myth and we are in the SuperBowl window. There are always maneuvers that can be made if you want a guy bad enough, and if you don’t wan’t him that bad you get to use the salary cap as an excuse. Yeah some guys are gone, like Poyer and Hyde. Singletary will be gone unless he goes very team friendly. Moss should just be cut I’ve seen enough of him. Davis may not get a second contract here if he continues to be unavailable at full strength ( I have no idea why he’s been o the field last 2 weeks).

Cook will be fine. His learning curve is a bit longer than we’d all like, but McD is a wizard with rookies. Look at Elam. He rightly started Beneford over him and what happened to Elam? He responded like a pro. Put his head down, went to work, got better, and today he was simply outstanding. He will nail down that 2nd CB spot for the next decade. Same thing will hopefully happen with Cook. McD will give him what he can handle and he will be more involved in the game plan as he can handle it and the season progresses. I hope and think by the second half of the season Cook will be comfortable and contributing

This has my vote for crap post of the year. It’s an impressive display of not only ignorance (it was second down not third) but a complete lack of situational awareness and strategy. That last drive was a master class in coaching and execution. Singletary going down, then Josh getting the first on sneak without losing the ball or scoring was elite level execution. Milking the clock while the Ravens lose their sht on the field and sidelines was a thing of beauty.
