Miyagi-Do Karate

Such a commitment to the word “squeelers”!

I actually am more worried about McKissick than Gibson— I can see them making some hay with flares and screens to him in the passing game. Going to see a lot of screens to slow down our now fierce pass rush!

Sounds like Tommy from Karate Kid 1– “get him a body bag!!!”

i agree that it not probable. But they haven’t shut the door on it: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/09/19/david-culley-well-have-to-see-if-deshaun-watson-plays-this-week/amp/

Better hope DeShaun doesn’t come back. That is a possibility.

Agreed. It was about as no-brainer of a call you can get. I get that he is being praised for his guts— but the alternative was giving Mahomes the ball with like 1:30, and needing only a FG to win.

amen. I don’t know if it is Josh or scheme— But they need to run plays for Knox. You look at how easy Kelce makes it look— Knox is arguably just as athletic. Just a simple dump off is an easy 7 yards.

My only thought on this is that it’s different when live bullets are flying. Also, it doesn’t seem Like he is in sync yet with E. Sanders.

I guess we will see when the all-22 comes out. But I am pretty sure I am right and you are only focusing on the misses. He made some poor throws, for sure. But I think we will see that he made some great ones and that the receivers were pretty much blanketed in tight man coverage all game. Overall, my sense is that it’s some rust by him (and the other offensive skill players) and the offensive coaches still trying to get into a groove.

One other thing— AJ had some great bull rushes too where he caused the pocket to collapse.

Agreed. Bills could have easily had 3 more sacks, but Brissett got tripped up for like 1-yard gains. my favorite play was when AJ almost decapitated Brissett. Brissett wiggled free and I think someone else cleaned it up.

you have to go there. Mahomes is going to score 99% of the time. But agree re Harbaugh. Gutsy and right call.

“the math” doesn’t take into account any variables, including very obvious ones, like each team scoring more points.

Out-thinking themselves on those 2-pointers. Just keep running that read option. They are making the chiefs look silly on those.

Watched back some of the game. Made me less worried about Josh. The Fins played mostly man and were like glue on our receivers. Lot of guys covered and with very little separation. Josh missed on some open throws— but for the most part, the coverage was very good. I think their normal “man beaters,” like WR screens, weren’t clicking as much. I am sure there are some throws that Josh can work on or that he would like back. But he also threw some absolute dimes (the long throw to Sanders on the second TD drive; the throw against his body rolling left for a first down inside the ten to Diggs; and both of his TD throws).

They seriously do whatever they want out there. Mahomes threw like a 7-yard hitch to a guy that is like a 3rd or 4th receiver… and easy catch and run TD. Just don’t know how you defend that.

Wow— So easy (against a great D).

i despise him— maybe more than Mathieu. Dirty Dan.

I missed the beginning of this game and am totally unclear how baltimore scored a TD. The box score doesn’t even describe it. Anyone fill Me in?

haha— he even looks like Dierdorf!

That little pass to Kelce is something we could easily do with Knox.

I am not sure what it is, but “out of sync” is the right phrase. I think it is probably a combination of a few new players, some new scheme stuff, problems on the O line (at least against Pittsburgh), and Josh just not playing quite well. For me, the number 1 issue is I just don’t think the coaches are in the right groove— like they are trying to figure out their identity. They totally botched the game plan against Pittsburgh. And I am not sure about the passing schemes they had going out there today— should have been a heavy dose of Knox And Beasley with their weak LB’s, not E. Sanders.

Top 10 in his class at Tight End U!! In all seriousness, he needs to be out on the field and targeted in the passing game a lot more. They can use him in similar ways to Kelce.

Is it time to bring Trubisky in as the “closer”? Maybe they can use Fromm for middle relief.

Lot of raggedness by the offense, which I am sure will be discussed. But can we just enjoy what has to be the most dominant Bills defensive game I have seen in like 20 years?! They invested in pressure and that’s what they got. Like every play. Along with stout run defense.
