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!

Agreed that was the original intention but I'm not sure we can keep Matakevich with the way the cap is going down. Seems like too much a luxury.

I think Davis is just occupying. If you do the read option right the QB doesn’t get hit by the conflict defender. If the point is don’t run option at bosa cause he’s too much of an athlete then I’m agree. There are other things you can do to slow his rush that don’t risk your QB (draws and screens). The link is really good for the RPO and he highlights the conflict defender a lot. EDIT in your stills Darryl Williams is 5 yards down field and I think may have been called for ineligible in the game. This is a good sign the pass wasn’t part of the play. 2x EDIT pro football reference play by play confirms a declined penalty on Williams on this play. Back to your OP I agree some of the sugar high Josh plays scares (there was a throw to Beasley that was very scary while he was being sacked).

Simms has sorta been off with us this year. I think he didn’t think we would cover the spread against the jets. Picked rams and pats to beat us too I think (dolphins too?). Obviously most the experts thought the hawks would beat us. On the flip I think he thought we would beat the titans (I know he said we would beat the cards). So he’s just been bad at predicting for us.

So I don’t think there was a pass option on this at all. It was RB run or Allen run. I’m basing this on the conflict defender. Usually you don’t want the conflict defender to be the DE on an RPO cause your QB is gonna get hit. For RPO the LB is the conflict defender some @Cover 1 work where I was getting my understanding from. https://youtu.be/-WXX-mrk-n0

Do you mean the option? RPO we do well with. I would like Allen to be more efficient in the option game cause you’re right most of the problems come from him keeping it. However it’s not bad enough to take it out of the playbook, and he has shown an ability to to use it.

My understanding is that running the option at a good pass rusher can slow them down. so i think that is what they are trying to do with targeting Bosa (otherwise why would you run this at Bosa). Either way I agree Josh messed up on this read here (he has struggled with this at times).

Bosa is the conflict defender for the option run and isnt supposed to be blocked. Allen is reading him (hes staring right at him). Allen thought Bosa was crashing down, but he wasnt (or was athletic enough to recover).
