Exactly how you teach people to tackle. Most of them never do but Milano does it time and time again

Personally? I am fat, drink too much beer.

Big reason Josh is at 63.8 completion percentage. Outside of Diggs no one makes tough catches.

Kind of a pointless exercise. Threw the ball with my kid yesterday during halftime. Neither of use dropped one. Then again, neither of us was running full speed, being covered by an elite athlete, trying to catch the ball from a guy who throws lasers for a living... We also dont get paid millions to catch the ball in those circumstances.

What a fantastic read that book that was. Wish there were more football books that went to that level of detail.

Jerry asked Coach if the defense was hungry to show people they could still be as good as last year without Von. Then he followed up and asked What do you see in them? Do you sense that it bothers them that the world thinks that without Von they arent going to be good enough. Usual Jerry stuff. Kind of odd because the original question was whether they could be as good as last year without Von, odd because Von wasnt here last year.

No worries at all. Just realized it probably would have made more sense for me to delete the original comment.

Completely agree with you. I was a big Marino listener for a year or so, but I've backed off a bit because its the same thing every week. I've also found that podcasts where it's only one host seem to be boring. Joe B's podcast has become like nails on a chalkboard, just him droning on.

For everyone that keeps quoting me on this, I responded a few posts back saying I forgot to consider the logistics of getting in and out of the stadium. My bad.

You hit on every point. I even agree with them being soft. Who is the mauler on the oline? Saffold and Brown have to be replaced next year. I understand that Brown is a physically imposing 3rd round draft pick but the guys bend and lateral movement are just awful to watch. I keep hearing how he is athletic, but he gets beat by speed rushes consistently. Saffold had a great career, but its clear its over. Dawkins gets more of a pass from me because I think he is playing hurt, but your point on physical maintenance make sense, he is a bad body guy for sure. They are going to have to retool big time in the offseason. They desperately need a #2 wideout and have very little money to bring someone in. They are very lucky to have the QB they have.

Thats a good point. I didnt consider the logistics of people getting in and out of the stadium. My bad there.

I considered this as well. But we play at 8 and we are young old people who eat dinner at 5pm.

Oh man this is awful news. Only 61 years old. Praying for the coach.

Took my family out to dinner on Saturday night. Ill have to do it again on Saturday. Should I go to the same place? Should I make them eat the same meals? Off topic Center St. Smokehouse in Batavia has very very good smoked wings.

Outside of Diggs the Bills have nothing at WR. Sorry to the Davis and Mckenzie fans but they are both too high on a depth chart for what they bring to the team. I am not sure what Beanes plan is going to be for next year but they need a #2 who can separate consistently and actually catch the ball without battling with their hands.

Tell me more.

I'm out on commentators in general. Call the game and have banter. But for the love of God save the hyperbole. It seems like everyone who makes any play in a football game or coaches a game is "incredible, fantastic, has superior skills, is a future All Pro, unbelievable, outstanding, a great one" Most of the players are gifted in comparison to regular people, but in comparison to other players they are just part of a team. Most of the coaches are on their way to being fired soon.

Not being a buzzkill having a conversation. Should every thread just be a person making a statement and the rest of the board applauding their ability to do so? Man, not agreeing with someone doesn't automatically make you a buzz kill or a killjoy.

Agree on half of it. If we are speaking about dump offs than yes, a dline can mess it up. But the Bills desperately need to scheme in screens, swing passes and maybe try a wheel route here and there. Dorsey does none of that.

Ive wondered the same thing but the UCL injury is only 4 weeks old and Josh hasnt had a dominate passing game in 7 weeks now. I think the bigger issue is the offensive scheme was figured out and we havent adjusted, and the skill players outside of Diggs are average to below average.

Oh man do I love watching the Dolphins get beat.

Fair enough. I think he is a good player and getting better by the week. Just an issue of semantics.

I dont need them to run more, but I sure as heck need them to utilize the short passing game if they A. Refuse to Run and B. The defense is playing a 2 high shell. They have to start taking what the defense is giving them. The insistence to try and force it down the field when they offensive line cant block worth a dang drives me absolutely nuts!

Why do the Chargers insist on running anywhere but towards the endzone?

100% my intention.
