Yup. This is exactly what I thought I'd see when watching the All-22.

LOL, excellent.

You have to admit, the Kim's have one hell of a succession plan in place. Also, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that Rob Ryan claimed to have invented the hamburger.

Will Wolford

Two easy uncontested TDs on the first and second drives of the game if Taylor can read more than 1/3 of the field. Roman gets a pass from me.

This.

I wrecked my ankle playing football in college. Roughly 18 years later I still have pain, and lack a full range of motion.

Yeah. That was special.

He's on the part of the track where pain/discomfort is normal as part of his recovery; but there is no longer any injury, so he can play.

Nine possessions with five 3-and-outs.

There is no report that the foot did not heal properly, there is a report that it's still causing him pain/discomfort. Watkins chose a career which requires tough men to play hurt. Everyone plays hurt in the NFL; that's the standard. If Watkins is incapable of meeting that standard, then he is a kitty. That's all anyone can say about him.

I know what was reported. If what was reported is true, and there is no break, then it's a clear cut case of Watkins being a kitty, and not up to the rigors of playing in the NFL where everyone plays hurt all the time. The report is that Watkins is hurt, not injured. You are excused for not playing injured. Not being able to play hurt means you're a kitty, because that's what's required of the profession.

The report is that there is no break. It's a pain management issue. He's a kitty. The offense won't make it with him. Without him it's simply a Biblical level of suck.

So, basically Watkins is a kitty who doesn't have the stamina or fortitude to play in the NFL where everyone always plays hurt.

We have 9 possessions. Of those 5 were 3-and-out. A 6th was 5 plays for 17 yards. A 7th was 6 plays for 11 yards. We didn't register a 1st down until the second quarter. Same old Tyrod. Same old Bills.

We had 9 possessions. 5 of them ended in 3-and-out. That's more than half. An additional two possessions were 5 plays for 17 yards and punt, and 6 plays for 11 yards and punt. If we can't possess the ball, no one gets any touches or targets. No one.

No. A hybrid of Nazis and Blackshirts.

Two different kinds of terrible. I'm not sure you can directly compare them, except in the abstract. EJ was terrible in a burst. Wholely terrible in a Biblical fashion, but his terrible was isolated. It was a block of concentrate orange juice. Tyrod was far less terrible than EJ was over that 5 minute period, but he was terrible over a full 60 minutes with zero redemption, never giving his team a chance to win. He was a festering infection. I'm going for 27 whiskeys and a good cry now.

Jan Brady is looking very, very good.

I think it's more appropriate to call him Jan. Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!

This. If the Bills averaged giving up 13 PPG, they would be tied for the 14th best defense of all time in the category.

I think this is my new favorite thread ever.

I was not at the game today, so before I make any declarative statements I'll have to watch the All-22. With that said, I have spoken with several people who were at the game, and what they told me they observed was open receivers, often deep down field, on every single passing play. This make sense to me given the structure of Roman's offense, which looks to exploit defenses by running multiple combination routes, and having receivers running through every level of the defense. My guess is, that after watching the All-22, it will reveal that Tyrod was the same guy we saw last year in today's game. His release was slow, we wasn't able to read more than half the field, he only throws to open receivers instead of throwing them open, he wasn't throwing the ball though the middle of the field, and that he was bailing out the side/back of the pocket, rather than climbing through it and making Baltimore pay for blitzing.
