I bet this gentleman brings his mid-day work meal in a latched steel case.

It's all hearsay but I've encountered someone with ties to the team that has said they do tend to party the nights before away games. Claimed that a lot of guys were out super late the night before the Rams game last year. Again, hearsay. But I'm sure they get rowdy and yeah on Sunday they just looked like they wanted to get the heck outta town after a certain point.

Right? It's as if many of these guys need a little bit of on the job experience before they reach their top potential.

Howdy all Bills fans on this gray Saturday (if you're up here in the 716, that is, could be breezy and beautiful for some of y'all, I don't know where youse live!) anywho... Didn't see this posted up anywhere just yet, also seems to be a brand new video just dropped earlier today. Don't know how many of you follow some of the writers from The Athletic but their stuff is generally pretty good. Analyst breaks down some of the plays Bills ran out of 22 personnel against KC last week and just shows the emphasis they put on utilizing Gilliam and the TE crew. Seemed like it was pretty effective. The Athletic Football Show breaks down old school tactics

He's been insanely fun to watch this season. Every week I'm like, "welp, he'll probably get slowed down this week" not to the point of like 13 carries for 11 yards or anything, but more like, "he won't be breaking so many runs that go for 7 or more" but then he does. There he goes for 14, 8, 12, 7, 9, like almost every time. His vision is really good and some of the OL guys have talked about how he's really skilled in the way he sets up his blocks. He's shown improvement every year. I remember his first couple of seasons he was a really easy guy to tackle, often going down on first contact. But then he said his prayers and took his vitamins and now he breaks tackles and runs over dudes.

Yeah, I hear that. I try not to take it for granted, the dudes a unicorn and I've no idea if we'll ever see another one like him. Sometimes I'll think about the future like "one day he's gonna retire and that's gonna suuuuck" because I dunno if I can go another 15 years of the foosball gods making us suffer with QBs from the realm of mediocrity.

That's easy, Carl Cheffers. I'm not a violent guy but I'm pretty certain I'd kick an NFL official in the nuts and feel no remorse. No ragrets!

My conspiracy take is that Josh got his bell rung really hard against the Pats. He scrambled and on the tackle his head whiplashed into the turf. He appeared a little wobbly when teammates helped him up and the game broadcast went to another shot. You could hear the analysts kind of beginning to wonder if something had happened but they went silent on that real quick and then just went back to calling the game. About 7-8 minutes went by until we saw a shot of Josh on the bench. It was just a weird sequence IMO. Usually if it appears like a player may have been hurt but was able to get to the sidelines the analysts discuss it while the cameras follow said player for a beat. The fact that everything in this situation was opposite of how it usually goes was interesting. The next few drives they had the dude was way off on a number of throws. Again, just my conspiracy take.

I'm pretty sick of those red rat bastids. It would be cool if they were all forced to do a 10 mile barefoot Lego hike.

Yeah that's definitely not ideal. I'm also on the "try throwing it to Jimmy sometimes" bandwagon as he has been targeted exactly 0 times in the last two games. It's weird because with Dorsey's offense, the passing game was centered around more intermediate and longer routes that they would hit on for 15, 20, 25 yards or whatever, but they never generated a lot of YAC in that scheme. Now the pendulum has swung in the complete opposite direction. They can hit on all these shorter throws near the LOS and create some solid YAC, some of those plays even break loose for a big score (like Shakir has done twice this season). But now they can't hit anything down the field with a QB who has a rocket for a right arm and excels at those kinds of throws. I mean, it's awesome how he's improved a lot on the short stuff and that should certainly have a place in their system but right now it's just really unbalanced with the short stuff being somewhat successful and the down field stuff being nearly non-existent.

Son of a biscuit! He just got back. Stupid jerky jerk Panthers guy ran him over. That guy should be mandated to step on at least 362 Legos.

Right? And the "real pro offense" he's looking for probably looked a lot like what Ken Dorsey was doing. Longer developing routes and the mindset of, "hey we just line up and do our thing and see if they can stop us and if they stop us then, uh, I will throw my headset!" Brady has gotten a little ahead of himself at times but generally has been better at making adjustments.

It would be the considerate thing to do, really. I would offer 14 magic jelly beans for one Waddle.

Turn in your fan card, now. It's revoked.
