I think I maybe understand, but yeah its was mind boggling to me all week. I knew it was a lot of money coming in on the 49ers with the way the line moved. If I had to guess why, I think people just looked at surface level numbers of Bills bad against the run and 49ers were good running last year and this years stats arent very indicative. On the other side the 49ers are good against the pass (maybe not realizing they have a losing record so those numbers are probably distorted). Thats the best I have for why it happened.

Yes but if they knew what was coming why did they let it happen I guess. Maybe im biased because of all the fawning over Saleh this week but Dabs out coached him imo.

I honestly think they got high on the coverage of their team. This shouldve been very humbling (and maybe I'm missing it) but saying you know what they were running doesnt acknowledge how soundly you got beat (1 punt ffs!).

Yeah I think its as Chris Simms would say just not thinking how the whiteboard translates to the field. On the board its "O blocks X were good." In reality it could end up being Davis trying to seal Bosa on a run. Thats not gonna work. But honestly that was an amazing game he called last night. He had a lot of answers against a defensive coach everyone was fawning over.

Agree. I think his coverage team has let him down a couple times too when he had great kicks and they got confused by the returner calling fair catch at the 10-15 yard line. I think it was getting missed last year he had one of the highest fair catch rate last year. I think hes figured out how to push it down field a bit more this year and hes gotten a bit more consistent (though i stand by my comments up thread, hes elite when he only punts once).

I actually prefer playing this team after a loss (particularly the type they had). I think they could def have been playing hard because of the perfect record. Now that its slipped away I think they have another let down game. Oakland just had 2 let down games (Greggo bailing them out of 2 losses) after that heartbreaking loss to the Chiefs. Even though they are pros these type of let downs happen (also short week so any hangovers eat a bigger chunk of time).

Yup. But that one. It’s a moon shot. After that you better watch out if you’re on the sidelines

That one punt was crazy though. 68 yards. Bojo is really good if he only has to punt once

Heard at some books the money was ~90% 49ers. Vegas really just killed it.

Thats all you need for "successful." I think youre about to have your first season. I agree we crapped the bed in those games. However stepping outside of perceptions, this team is coming right now. I truely think we are starting to peak whereas other teams like LV definitely have already peaked (consequently right around when we played them). This defense looks better by the week, and I expect our offense to perform when john brown gets back.

Like the easiest 250 yards you could get sheesh. If were not playing man I think we should probably have good success with Tampa 2. No way hes threatening us deep outside the numbers.

I understand now. I would still say if I were tracking the growth of a "breakout" player Kumerow isnt progressing too slow. Foster took a while to crack the roster (and it was weaker) before he had a great second half the of the season. Also I dont expect much from Kumerow.

From what they saw they gave him a spot on the active roster. He joined in the middle of the season. If he "deserved it" where would you expect him on a pretty good Bills roster.

Moseley is the back up too right?

Greg Cossell was saying they play Man more this year too. Agreed dont know what that means for this game though, and if they do play man to man they are in for some trouble.

Cause the bills have a lot of interesting match ups. That 430 game is on a Saturday so it’s a national broadcast too. We’re a good team (though lots of people have forgotten) but the NFL hasn’t.

I think you can feel better. I think he will get extended to 2022 to lower his 2021 cap number and cause they like him enough. I don’t think he could command in the open market the 9 mil his 2021 contract has him getting. Make that 9 mil a signing bonus and get his salary to the vet minimum for a 5 million dollar add on year. That saves about 4 mil in cap for 2021. Gives him 9 mil right away and gives him a reasonable contract for 2021 (cap hit is bit high but workable I think).

I was thinking about this and glad to see stats to back it up. Shanahan is still a great coach and I’m sure he can design an inside running game. However, I think our team is built to beat what they currently do (outside run and YAC in the short passing game). Kittle and Jimmy G being out is really beneficial.

Yeah I wish they would zoom in for the stats stuff. I posted about this play and this was where I was getting my info from. The Allen film review has been a pleasure the last couple seasons

I like Simms so I have been following the Florio rankings. He has pretty much been a graphic of who has won recently. He had the dolphins in the top 5 the other week. The bills moved up like 4 spots without playing. It’s been bad this year.

Favored but there have been some weird things like lots of pundits picking the Rams and Pats. Saying we could cover the spread against the jets week 1. I think I saw some saying the heat in Miami would get us. I think there even some doubts us and the raiders. I agree with the post that the Bills are coming. I wanna take care of business cause I think that SNF game could be a coming out party to the league.

I think their interior is weak (3rd string center I think). I think Ed should be able to continue to push the pocket which causes others to clean up. If we can get them to 3rd and 7+ I think we will get off the field at a really high rate.

God that game. I don't want to see them early, but an AFC championship game against them would be amazing (mostly cause not KC). I think the way they played the end of that game would probably become bulletin board material for us.

I can maybe see Jets cause they drove on our D but I think we still moved the ball (missed FG on our first drive). But Titans? Cause we had that weird pick? We scored on the next drive and then held them to a 3 and out on their subsequent dirve.

I like that Pressure Percent!
