Not really.

Morrow played 17 snaps in Baltimore and I don't think Williams or Spector came out from memory. They were pretty much all on the 2nd and 3rd Baltimore drives. Both of which they marched down the field and scored touchdowns.

Yea. I don't think the mid 00s Manning offense works today. Dorsey had a lot of Manning Indy concepts. You need studs outside to run that stuff today.

It wasn't his offense in 2021 it was Kellen Moore's. They did have a good offense last year but it is so basic and outdated I think you need a super elite weapon like CeeDee to make it effective. I get people are looking for someone who won't be poached but I think that is the wrong way to be. I say it all the time when I recruit. I'd rather get the right person and only have them 18 months because they are bright, creative, innovative and in demand rather than take a steddie eddie who will do okay and stay 5 years because they have no market. If Joe Brady leaves go find another bright, creative, offensive mind. Don't hire a dinosaur.

Yea. 2004 called. It wants its offense back. Twice in a row now at Dallas.

It was specifically taunting.

You can kick your leg free. You can't high step. You can't direct your celebration at an opponent. Hollins did both. It's a clear flag.

But you can't do those things. You can hate the rule if you like but it is clear.

I liked "honestly, only 4th on defense is a bit disappointing with the talent they have here. We are going to lead the league in defense that is just a fact." Followed by a fall from 4th to 19th, an offseason of talk about how the guys had "bought in" and "taken ownership" of the defense and then a second season where the defense ranked *checks notes* 19th. Snake. Oil. Salesman.

Just step normally.

He high stepped over him and then was giving it the thumb over the shoulder towards Surtain like "what's that joker's problem?" you can't do either of those things. It is taunting. Correct flag thrown. Agree with @DrDawkinstein on the spots. The line judge on the far side from the tv view must have been drunk. He blew at least 4 that I counted. 3 Bills, 1 Broncos.

And then they came back week 2, TNF the following year and destroyed us. Fitz's Jets tenure faded fast after that. But yea. The whole Rex period felt like trying to fit an every growing cube into a cylinder shaped hole.

Im fairness on the replay you see the back judge (who I think was Vinovich himself) has eyes on what's happening right in front. His eyes flick to his right to Kincaid at the precise moment that Surtain lets go. I don't know if the side judge could have got involved to help there but when yoi are dealing with humans you are relying on their eyes being in the right place right on cue. It was a blown call but if you don't see it you can't call it.

Smiley is definitely in over his head. We have had a good return game all year though and it didn't miss a beat yesterday without Codrington. That's a positive. Totally where I am on it. I think when opponents down punts inside the five there is a limit to what coaching can do about that. Great punt, good pursuit, favourable bounce. What you don't do there is make the big mistake. If you think you can clean catch it, fine. Otherwise get the hell away.

And me.

Just watched it. Great game. But two franchises I couldn't care less about. So it's Commanders at Lions, right? Lions win.

I hated it. Hated it. Hated it. Never hated a Bills hire that much. It was doomed to fail from moment one. My partner remembers that day well because I was absolutely raging when I heard the news.

Yea my gut is telling me similar. They are not the only 2 options.

They will have an opportunity for a re-do. They have their guys available, hopefully they coach is better too. Gonna be one hell of a challenge. If Flowers doesn't make it for Baltimore that would help some as well. EDIT: oh and I should also say the offense playing better is a mandatory part of the puzzle. If you let Baltimore get up early and stay on schedule you have a problem. Your offense has to speed them up and create a sesne or urgency. That is when they tend to get away from the run.

There are definitely games where he has. He's been really up and down this year though. Like I say, I'm not sure he has been fully healthy all year since the injury week 1. I also think the limitations of Green Bay's receiver by committee have shown up this season. But 2025 is big for him. That is for sure.

The Packers made so many mistakes. They played a terrible game top to bottom. Penalties, turnovers, injuries, missed tackles. That was probably their worst game of the season at the wrong time. Felt like Bills - Bengals two years ago. Couldn't get out of their own way. Yea he does. It's easier to dial an aggressive decision maker back than make a tentative one more courageous though.

He was poor tonight and has had an up and down year. Not sure he has ever been fully healthy though. I still think he is a good Quarterback.

Milano has been back to himself the last two games he played - Jets and today. And he is still one of our best players. So of course he helps. Fingers crossed it continues.

Yea his hands are really good. And I love hands on my pass rushers. I'll forgive not being the twitchiest or the fastest round the edge if you can use your hands. Not that Green is in that category. He doesn't lack twitch. But the technique is better than you expect for a smaller school guy.

I am quite deep into the edge class now. I confess I lile Carter more having really got into his film than I did when I posted that. He is raw, but he is a relatively recent convert to edge. I think he is my EDGE1. I like Pearce too, he is EDGE2 but I feel like early on he is going to have most impact rushing from a two point stance. I'd feel more comfortable drafting him in the top 15 if I am primarily a 34 team. Agree Scourton is more of a power rusher, but I do think he is a first rounder. More a late 1 grade for me. The other guy I gave an indicative 1st to was Princely Umanmielen from Ole Miss. He is an older guy. 23 by draft day. So I have a flag to come back to him. Reminds me a bit of Will McDonald who had great tape his final year but you are balancing "how much of this is just a grown ass man beating up on college kids". McDonald has transitioned well to making an impact in the NFL despite that. I had an indicative high second on Green, but there certainly are not close to 32 first round grades in this class so I do think he has a chance to slide into the end of the first. My two negatives on him were run game discipline, which is non-existant at this point, and I think he needs to add bulk. I worry that early he might end up a pass rusher only and you have to work out where that leaves him value wise. How old is he? Do you know? I know he transferred. But I'm more willing to take a shot at the pass rush upside in the 1st if he is 21 than if he is 23. Agree Sawyer is a day 2 guy. I also did not have a 1st on Mykel Williams. If you are a 3-4 team and wanna play him as a 5 tech, sure I can understand it. But he is is not a big pass rusher. If he goes to a 4-3 team he will end up as a base defense defensive end who comes out on money downs.
