McDermott: “Darryl, I am talking to you!!” (3 seconds later) Darryl Williams: “what? Huh?”

These McD cliches have the same feel as Mike Tomlin’s. They were in the same football cliche 101 class at W&M!

i was totally with you until I saw this angle. The elbow was obscured when I rewound on TV.

I stand corrected on the Dion PF call. I just saw a new angle, and the refs may have gotten this one right. After Dion pancakes this guy, he inexplicably just hammers his face with his arm, WWE style. It looked Ike an elbow from Greg the Hammer Valentine.

He may be our best shot. We need a guy that can break 5 tackles in less than .5 second.

Case in point— check out the first and goal play, which was a run to Zach Moss. Ike got blown up 3 yards right into the backfield, and right into Moss. I think he lost 4 yards on the play.

He looks like the real deal.

agree completely. I would love for it to be dirty because I hate those guys, but I think Big Mac tried to hold him, and Burns twisted himself in trying to get free and that is why he hurt himself.

Moss and DS are actually great at breaking the deluge of attempted tackles when they are hit 3 yards behind the LOS every time.

Wow. That’s bad.

This happened multiple times during the game. He ended up blocking no one on a few plays. It’s like he was confused on who to block.

In terms of offensive line coaching, I have to think the miscommunications and mistakes on assignments have to be on coaching. I have never seen so many mental errors by our line in a single game. They get confused by stunts. They get confused by disguised pressure. I still have no idea what Darryl Williams was doing out there today on a number of plays where he blocked no one.

it’s not so much depth, in a weird way. It’s the talent evaluation wasn’t quite right. I don’t know what the Bills look for at guard, but whatever it is, it has them valuing Cody Ford and JF more than Spain and Teller.

Horrible overturn. Wow.

Early in the game Dawkins got called for a unsportsmanlike, which killed a drive (the refs erroneously called it on Williams). i just re-watched it. The defender spun and jumped up, and right when he jumped, Dawkins pushed him in the chest and pancaked him. It was a great and clean block, and was largely caused by this guy jumping up. Dawkins then fell forward. Dawkins literally did nothing wrong.

I was re-watching some more of this abomination. on the first drive, we had 3rd and 10, and josh scrambled for a first down. On the play, you had 3 olinemen blocking one guy, and then 2 defensive players just having a free reign to Josh. He eluded both. What I think I saw on the play is the Jags bringing a bunch of people to the line and then pulling them out. For whatever reason, this confused Williams as to who he was supposed to block. So he ended up blocking nobody, including the guy standing Right in front of him. then, on the first and goal play, we ran a nice sweep with Moss. It would have worked had Ike not been blown up and pushed 3 yards backward.

That was a real critical one. Wiped out a huge return. Absolutely bizarre.

So I just re-watched this play: 1) it was not a designed RPO-type play. Morse got blown up and it was a jail Break, which caused Josh to run forward. 2) Gabe should have caught it, but it was slightly behind him at a weird angle, and so I can see why he dropped it. 3) josh was getting tackled from behind if he didn’t throw.

How about the “taunting” Call on Levi on a successful QB sneak where he Was 30 yards away from the play? That doesn’t even make sense.

I had a feeling it might be a long day when Trubisky was called for unsportsmanlike conduct on the first play of the game.

Agreed. if he does that, then we kick a game-tying FG. A sack drove us out of FG range. It was the play of the game, IMO.

That was my take too— like 60% mental errors by the line today. The three interior linemen could not handle a stunt today to save their lives.

Devin had the first down there too. Josh doesn’t trust those RB’s.

re Williams, did you see the last 3rd down where Williams allowed the sack? Someone posted the video in another thread here. He stood there for like 2 seconds while his man went by him. And that was the game!! It knocked us out of FG range.

Man, listening to Josh in his post-game presser, he has no voice and doesn’t look well to me. Really hope he doesn’t have COVID or something.
