The LB Situation Moving Forward

[The LB Situation Moving Forward]

I said this in another thread last night.  Watch Edmunds on Darrell Williams TD, unblocked, and takes himself out of the play by running through an OL gap that was nowhere near the ball carrier.  

[Is Star good or bad?]

Last year it was Star sucks, Star is overpaid, I never hear Star's name called, Star doesn't make any plays, etc...

 

Fast forward to this year, the excuses for why the defense is in the bottom 1/3 of the league all seem to revolve around Star's absence.

 

Is he really the difference between what what thought to be Top 5, or at least worst case Top 10, and one that is terrible.

[Please dress Yeldon]

Clearly Beane, McD and Daboll are not on the same page.  How else do you explain him being signed for two years, have struggling rookies in front of him on the depth chart, yet he sees little to no playing time. 

[Aikman vs Allen]

Aikman said something bad about Allen, so let’s compare two QB’s who played 25 years apart? 

[RB with speed]

So our GM has spent a 3rd and a 4th on RB’s and neither is the answer?  

[Week 6 Postgame Thread KC at Bills]

The fact that KC’s patchwork OL dominated the Bills defense, makes that performance even worse. 

[New Injuries: Ford, Lewis, Dodson]

I didn’t know a player could get hurt on a play where he whiffed so badly.  😱

[Trent Murphy and Harrison Phillips benched for Chiefs game]

Not only were they not getting any pressure, but also, too many times the DE went inside for the pass rush and Mahomes easily went outside the pocket for a throw or run.  
 

At the very least, keep him in the pocket. 

[Defensive problems-just my opinion]

I just woke up and I’m still looking for Hyde?  It is pretty bad when even your best players on defense are invisible.  
 

 

[Trouble in Paradise! Diggs sulking on the final drive]

Down by 9 who cares. Game was over.  Who cares. Don't risk injury.

They were a long pass play away from a TD, and then an onside kick.  There was a 1:30+ to go.  The game was not over.  No player should have to be talked to by the coaches about effort.  If the coaches thought the game was over, the starters would be on the sideline. 

 

Maybe nothing...or maybe the sign of a player with issues. 
 

[Week 6 Postgame Thread KC at Bills]

Very disappointed in Diggs at the end of the game.  What the heck was he doing walking back to the line of scrimmage?

[Bills are the 5th best team in the AFC]

Right now(after 6 games) they are no better than 5th in the AFC.  

 

KC

BAL

PIT

TEN

 

 

[Aikman and Buck are insufferable]

They’re the least of the Bills problems.  Who cares about the announcing crew. 
 

Misdirected anger at its finest. 

[KC-BUF: 5 Things]

McD was right next to Poyer when he got the personal foul on the late hit.  Instead of getting in his face...he turns his back and walks away. 

[Lorax discusses Tremaine Edmunds]

Go back and watch the Darrell Williams TD, and you will see that Edmunds is a joke.  While Williams runs off LT for a TD, Edmunds is untouched as he runs where the RG was and is in the backfield making a U-turn as Williams crosses the goal line.  
 

😂😂😂

[Gameday Thread Week 6 2nd Half Bills vs Chiefs]

KC’s patchwork OL is DOMINATING.  What an embarrassment. 

[Gameday Thread Week 6 2nd Half Bills vs Chiefs]

I’m looking for Micah Hyde.  Has anyone seen him?

[Gameday Thread Week 6 2nd Half Bills vs Chiefs]

That was a good penalty!! 👍

[Trent Murphy and Harrison Phillips benched for Chiefs game]

I have no problem with giving guys a breather, but shouldn't your 4 best guys on the line be closer to 65-70%(or even higher for your best 1 or 2 DL) snap counts versus this...

[Bills have addressed slippery turf issue]

So if the Bills are having slipping/footing issues, according to the quoted, isn't adding more fill going to make the problem worse?  

[Sounds really wet for the game Monday. Who do you think that favors?]

Since when does weather favor the offense??? Bad weather will slow down both offensive attacks. Harder to throw ball, harder to run routes due to timing, harder to catch ball and harder to hold on to the ball. Usually turns into a defensive scrap and who ever wins the turnover battle usually comes out on top. I like our chances in a wet windy game.

Windy?  Forecast 5-10mph.

[Bills have addressed slippery turf issue]

It sounds like the county picks up the tab for the turf, but I'm hoping the Pegula's have the final say as to what company they are going with.  I hope this isn't some sort of low bid situation.  If so, not a good look for an NFL franchise.

[Week 6 Chiefs at Bills predict the score.]

KC   38

BUF 20

[Sounds really wet for the game Monday. Who do you think that favors?]

Buffalo is next to Lake Erie and Niagara Falls....much more used to water and being wet...especially all those team trips on the Maid of the Mist.  
 

Advantage Buffalo. 

[Bills have addressed slippery turf issue]

So they put in new turf before last season, by a local company whose resumé is limited, and they are having problems with it?   Who would have guessed?
