Just give it to Rhamondre. Thats gotta be the answer

Watching Mac Jones get sacked never gets old

This season 17s total $$$ is around 18.6 mil. Conservatively let’s say he sees half of that (9 mil). An 11k fine would then roughly impact his finances similar to how a $60 ticket would effect someone who takes home 50k. Regardless of how you feel about the call, I always find it bizarre how offended some people get that the millionaires must pay pocket change for on field incidents (one that he was completely in control of). Im sure Allen cares less about the fine than many fans

As much as you’re kidding here, this would 100% be the best thing that could happen at this point IMO (aside from returning to HOF elite status and winning a Super Bowl)

Making the Douglas trade looking better and better.

This is awesome thanks. My favorite part was the explanation of EPA as I’ve heard it used but wanted more context for how it relates. Again, this further validates what I’ve been saying about the run game. We’ve been so used to seeing Allen march up and down the field slinging the rock that when we run the ball for zero yards we say run less, pass more. In reality we’re seeing plenty of pass attempts to damage to our offenses overall success. The bills must find a way to run the ball for positive gains when they need to, and not rely solely on the passing game to get it done. As much as i love from playing under center, I don’t think your first point is as much of an issue as the second. Running from the gun can be dangerous. But we’ve entirely remove Allen as a threat to keep the ball in zone reads, RPOs, QB power etc. This in effects adds a defender to the mix when we do run the ball. A simple fix is to continue to do what they want, and have Allen keep the ball, or AT LEAST carry out a full speed fake. If they want to keep their current schemes, so be it. But as @HappyDays mentioned and @HoofHearted suggested, small tweaks to motions, splits and the details within the run game could be enough to take what they’re doing and make it serviceable.

Unkess you’re buffalo and the 5/6 man pressures aren’t getting there😭

This is an old take based off the beginning of the year. No doubt the Broncos want to, and can run the ball. But that doesn’t necessary mean they will with ease. The last three games (post major injuries here) the Bills have allowed only 76 p/g which is 6th best in that time frame. With the recent addition of Linval Joseph, I only see them being more capable to stop DEN on the ground.

Agreed 100% Down and distance is a consideration, but if it’s there…take it. Teams have changed how they rush Allen in these situations to limit that exposure but opportunities are still there. He is passing them up. This is a tricky situation, since keeping his eyes downfield and making a play on the move is something elite in his game that makes him so dangerous. Id personally like to see a lot more designed Allen run opportunities (RPOs or zone reads) to take advantage of the lighter boxes they’re seeing.

Thank you @HoofHearted for sharing your insight. question for you and for all: You believe that we’ve seen more man this season because teams have become savvy to our conversion routes that allow for skill players to run to green grass. Man coverage effectively nullifies that. So if this is the case, are we not recognizing man coverage pre-snap and getting into man beaters? Is Allen unable to make these kinds of checks? Is this why we’ve seen split field reads of man beaters vs conversions or two man route combinations? If the conversion philosophy is designed so that we are to have the advantage regardless of physical traits, when teams are taking that away with man coverage, we should be heavily utilizing means to scheme guys the ball in space.

I agree 100% that the bills have to find a way to run the ball better vs those deep looks. When your OL is having trouble holding up vs 3 and 4 man pressures and there are 7 or 8 in coverage, you can’t expect much from the passing game. Figure out a way to force the defense out of that look.

I don’t see any difference between him and Bagent

Probably. No issue with the pre and post game. Lots of coaches and players moonlight as talking heads in the studio during bye weeks. Just during the game on the main broadcast, talking about his career plans, the tush push, etc…. Just bugs me they are acknowledging the talent on the field isn’t getting the attention they want so they try and fluff it up….weak imo

Wow disrespect to these teams bringing Jason Kelce on the broadcast. This has the feel of a preseason match up. I know they aren’t world beaters but that’s dirty

Great return. The last stutter cut inside vs the punter is an elite move

Great punt and coverage. CAR. struggling to pass the ball. Young looking rough. Sweat making immediate impact Don’t sleep on Mac!

Stop complaining about the teams like they’re trash. It’s NFL football. Both teams have plenty of talented players. Find ways to enjoy the game. Frankly I enjoy these just as much if not more than watching cowboys eagles x 100 Take the chance to learn about good players on bad teams. Find some perspective for our own situation. Enjoy

Good evening fellas i enjoyed that anthem

Saints

This would be a situation where someone would likely challenge them: So does @Mark Vader have another SMU player he can reference? If not, you restart and he takes the L. It kind of falls into the Jay cutler rule IMO

My implication was that there is no room, aside from the draft, to substantially acquire talent. The retooling referenced is going to be similar to this past off season IMO

Thanks @Einstein Your point on the running game is maddening…. As @boyst suggested, we need to be able to run the ball vs those 2 high, six man boxes. Tough game up front for the hogs, so we need to be able to pivot. Any horizontal running game does not exist as well. Frustrating. I would have loved to see some old school zone read. You want to put pressure on those force defenders? Put Kincaid in motion in concert with the QB.

Next season is another re-tooling and fat trimming. A player I wonder if they can find a way to move on from is Knox. Trade candidate?

Any day the Josh Allen led Buffalo Bills play a football game, I like their chances. That being said, this game is one that I feel like either breaks our season, or gives you nothing in return (aside from the W). If we win, regardless of how it looks, we’ll still have our doubts and apprehensions. I haven’t looked too much into the Broncos statistics this year, but from what I’ve heard in passing, I’m going to focus much more on their last 3 games than the entire season.

Thoughts on this: 1) Am I the only one that wants Allen/Cook runs wayyyy more out of those two high, six man boxes? Hellooooo zone read. 2) Allen missed some throws and made some obvious errors. He’s the 50 million dollar man. He is not absolved. 3) I really question how much leniency Allen is being given at the LOS. No variation in these plays? Is that Dorsey, is that Allen’s comfort level? 4) We desperately need to find a screen game, jet sweep, tap toss, swing pass, bubble screen, etc. 5) The Bengals gave a heavy dose of cover 2…but I was disappointed to see there wasn’t too much into the middle of the field from the slot. The Tampa looks take that away, but there are options here they aren’t exploring. 6) 4 yard efficient plays are okay. They can’t be the only option. 7) The Bengals ability to rush 3 or 4 really widened their ability to take away our cover 2 beaters. They had extra bodies in coverage, and the OL either didn’t hold up, allen missed or didn’t find the right route, or the routes themselves are finite. A lot of the stops, whips, spot routes etc don’t carry. These defenses are zone matching our WRs and settling on them, blanketing those quick opportunities. 😎 We are putting no stress on the back end of the defense. What happened to the 4 verticals? At some point any time they need to push the envelope. 9) I don’t see how this gets solved, with this personnel and this offensive philosophy. 10) I would be so interested to hear an opposing DCs or defensive players take on our concepts. It all seems so basic and rudimentary, and therefore, extremely difficult for our players to make plays.
