I’ll put this in my early prediction… KC at Buffalo on Sunday or Monday night in buffalo the Sunday/ Monday in between Taylors Toronto Thu-sat concerts. brady- manning usually happened during November rating sweeps time either in prime time or a CBS DH 425 feeder into prime time SF at buffalo on FOX will really want as a solo 425 game ( leading into World Series) KC at SF likely on cbs at 425. Eagles are to play the opening week game on Friday night in Brazil. Don’t see a division foe. I think it’s Green Bay at Philadelphia for that game.

it wasn’t like you described. drive 1 the go down the field and fumble Drive 2 penalties kills drive cresting a 2nd and 27. Punt drive 3 1st and 10 on kc 33 , lost 4 on run, kick FG drive 4 ball deep in own end. First 2 runs no game, 3rd and 9, punt drive 5 TD drive 6 end of half kneel down drive 7 got turnover and did nothing. They threw drive 8 first play for big loss. 3 and out Punt drive 9 first down run no gain, 2 passes then punt drive 10 lost on punt touch/ fumble turnover drive 11 TD drive 12 FG on 2nd and 5 they could have ran it on plays before 2 min and the play after 3 min. I would have thrown for 1st down at 3rd and 5+ because getting a first could have meant winning the game.

in regular season if you have confidence in your D you kick off, you kick off. Play strong D stop them and then get ball and kick a FG. If you have a strong offense like buffalo/ kc or you fear the other teams offense, you get the ball first to get a TD and win in the playoffs it’s not TD snd win, they get the ball. Sure you can play the game of see what thry get first, thrn if it’s a TD you have every intent on going for 2 if you get a TD. remember…If KC was held to a FG then SF gets the ball marches down, kicks a FG and wins.

Remember…local stations get ad slots. Some are just broadcast in local slots of top 20 markets. Buffalo is one for this purpose.

reasons for them…. 1. Bunch to create short pass WR screens and runs. These rely on speed and blovking ability. 2. Bunch to get a WR off a jam play or to pick a DB in play design 3. spread creates more 1 on 1 isolation plays if you get mismatches in height or speed or quickness you could exploit it, the D might be man to man low with 2 deep safeties and 5 pass rushers and 6 blocking. A team with very good man on man cover corners can defend this well and safeties concentrate on the top WR or weaker DB 4 a tight bunch formation can open up sweep running plays by a RB or QB if you have good blocking WRs and a QB/RB who can get to the outside where the bunch receivers are blocking for you.

KC has been better in regular season. 2019 AFC WC, JA 17 first loss to Houston in OT. 2020 AFC con final loss at KC 2021 AFC Div loss at KC in 13 sec/OT 2022 AFC div loss to Cincinnati ( the team seemed gassed in this game givrn what happened with Hamlin) 2023 AFC div loss to KC on missed FG late in game All the eliminations came down to a handful of plays except for the Cincy loss. It’s hard to say was it a play call the coaches made thst was wrong or did a player on the field not do something they should have. you might have a question if they didn’t show up in the playoffs but that’s not the case.

Thread bump…..

Is a candidate this board after a lost game or just after a failed season?

where was Allen on the OT punt return that won it for the jets……..

Yep….. I’ve said this before. vable is a de facto consolidator or all the stations , satelittes do that too. Streaming will e rntually get thst way where a companies consolidate all the programming into one stop shop. thr cost factor is if commercials/ sponsors subsidize the content or do consumers pay more for no commercials beyond live broadcasts.

They could do a 3-3-5 and blitz a LB/DB

yes there are many other factors with shared stadiums in LA and NY. I live in DC area. Generally DC and Baltimore aren’t on the same network at the same time. They do place at the same time. Similarly NY and LA teams can play at the same time just not on same network. Because of shared stadium therr is a higher likelihood of non sunday games being played there. That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised if bills at rams and bills at jets are not on Sunday. Safe bet Ravens at chargers ( brother coaches face off) on a Monday night in early October avoiding early baseball playoff conflict were ravens at home . some of these blackout dates for home games are regular like the stadium hosting high school championship games or college games, bowl season or regular season. For example a Norte dame at navy game will be played in Baltimore or Washington stadiums. I expect the new nashville football stadium will be a regular venue for SEC championship games. Washington nee football stadium probably hosts ACC or big 10 championship and probably hosts a bowl game. Houston stadium has a big Xmas shopping season event like the weekend of thxgvg or the weekend sfter so no games there. Other stadiums have concerts on Saturday in Sept- Nov.

I generally agree. I don’t know what the yardage cut off is between short and long. Teams played a deep center shell against the Bills and Allen scrambled which changes where he throws.

excluding 3 road/ home games in row with a bye in between…..the league DOES NOT schedule 3 in a row. The 3 in the row come about in final adjustments in flipping weeks before schedule gets published. The scheduling is a constraint satisfaction problem. I understand this fully. They set the national games and thxgvg, special day, foreign site games first. From there they fill in schedules. This takes into account schedule conflicts like in Seattle, Baltimore, KC, and others that have baseball and football stadiums next to each other. Look at the baseball schedules. If mariners is home on opening weekend fri-wed. Seattle opens on the road. They also take into account other events like concerts and other events in the area. Teams submit to the league scheduling office on these conflicts. they create a subset of games that is used to decide the national games ( including 425 games). You can go through and take games from divisional, inter league, div vs div same conf, placement games, other games of note ( rematch in playoffs), former coach/ QB/ big name player returning, Thursday having all teams on it, younger up and coming teams thry likely get an earlier national game than one in December that gets flexed out, and bye weeks like around overseas game. It’s far easier in scheduling to do this in advance than try to get them in the schedule. In the past few years you have seen 2 teams from thxgvg face each other on Thursday the week before or after is not some schedule luck. It was pre- planned. Similarly teams who have nearby baseball stadium….they try to build schedule flexibility in case games need to be moved. It’s a first game of divisional teams or the two teams share the same bye week. Stadiums like these are Seattle, Baltimore, Detroit, KC, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and others. there is caps on national game scheduling in prime time. They added other rules around divisional game scheduling where both are not on prime time national tv. it’s possible the bills 2 west coast games get scheduled for the same trip. It can be one on Sunday, followed by one on Thursday. um …divisional games in last weeks….just about all teams have 2-3 divisional games post thxgvg week on their schedule. Usually a 1 vs 2 in division is one of them. Expect bills playing jets or dolphins in thr final weeks. Sincr patriots changing coaches I don’t expect a late NE game over the last 3 weeks.

Who had him as a third round grade? I don’t know his numbers in terms of speed/ strength. Outside of issues of system fit like team already has a big WR and wants more of a slot one. I think he fits ehst buffalo is looking for. if he seems to have dropped on boards, buffalo might be inclined to trade down and still pick him.

What about the…” we didn’t hire someone with passed HC experience that we can replace him with, so how can we fire him now”

History lesson the song was nothing… then a European soccer team in Belgium adopted the song as its fight song and then it went to Italy, Italy adopted it on its World Cup run in 2006 , caught on and has been adopted around sports https://www.npr.org/2018/07/11/626288758/american-anthem-world-cup-white-stripes-seven-nation-army https://deadspin.com/how-the-song-seven-nation-army-conquered-the-sports-w-5875933 links are sone of many

Given the point in thr game and situation….hr should have kicked the FG restoring the 3 score/17 point lead. you don’t know the psychology on the FG made vs the cheer of a D stop. SF got ball at 28 which is the same as 25. Can assume they go out and get a TD, and thr following turnover to TD. I don’t recall a situation of go for it on 4 th in FG range vs kick a FG being down 17. If SF was down say 17 or 10 thry might have kicked a FG instead of 4 th doen attempt. 2. I would have waited till 4 th to consider a run. interesting fact. If they were stopped inside the 1 bring down 10– they had a high probability of getting a safety, get ball back and get a TD+2 than getting a TD/FG/ onside kick/FG/TD score.

Buffalo is expected to get a comp late in the 3rd

Just starting this now since media start to talk about commercials airing shown as well as those rejected/ disapproved

Probsbly be looking up at a grave stone….

assuming Hyde/ Poyer are done…. if they keep Douglas and Johnson with Branford, Elam, tre they are fine at CB sone of the CBs can move to FS they draft a SS or a lighter LB with speed eho can play in a SS role covering TEs and join in runnsupport i look at the D being a 4-2-5 with Milano, Bernard, and recent drafted players playing LBs. If you have that hybrid…at DB..both Johnson snd tre have bern strong in blitzing/ run support. They could look at it as straight CBs in DB roles with a converted LB fir TE/ run support. I see their drafting…. 1&2 — I think a WR with speed ( not a slot) or it could be hybrid TE with size/ speed where they could use Kincaid as a #2. And the other pick would be a DL expect a late 3rd comp pick—I think they trade up using a 5 th and 6th 4th, 2 5th 3 6th, 7th with 4 latter picks would be—(1) CB/S/ LB to SS player (2) interior OL, (3) TE, (4) depending on what thr pick high DE/DT, they take the other of course free agent signings and losses change things. I think they will attract some cheap free agents who want to prove themselves and get bigger exposure With Buffalo being a high profile team getting 10+ games on national tv/ primary game they do well and then cash in on a bigger contract. Candidate games next year for espn/ nbc/ lone or clear A game 425 — SF, KC, at DET, at Rams, at SEA , at balt , home Miami game, at jets game,NE game , one of hou/ Indy/ JAX Thursday game would be either one of AFC south, at jets, or they do a single west trip where they play at rams and at seattle on consecutive weeks with one being on Thursday night likely rams.

The receiver they signed for camp. KJ Hamler, a mid 2nd round pick 2020 by denver, played for Penn state has under 4.4 speed. Hrs small at 5-9 and had issues route running and drops.
