Da webster guy

Stef likes to play pissed off. WR's are a different breed, they're like comedians in the sense that there's the rest of the world and then there's them. They're sensitive, high strung and twitchy dudes with a crazy tough job.

Titans will still roll Houston. Tanny isn't the reason they win games.

weak post. He's a great spark for the offense, and still will have a decent role despite an off game. Lil Dirty has come through us many times before, just had an off day. Daboll loved him, Allen and Dorsey do too, thats enough for me.

With the exception of the Chiefs/Niners game, it's a tough break for pro football to have the other three exciting teams all off on the same week. Minny has been fun to watch, and the Eagles/Bills round out the top, but it seems like there's a real void with Packers, Colts, Chargers, Tampa all very blah blah teams to watch. I think the Bills are spoiling us, we get used to a high level of play and excitement and most of these prime time game this year have been crappy football. League should try to build in the flex a little earlier in the season next year so I don't have to watch guys like Russel Wilson embarrass themselves any more.

Yeah I agree. I watched Saffold pretty carefully after he got lit up on this message board the week before, and watching the Chiefs Dline do some damage vs the Raiders, I was worried that the interior wasn't going to be stout enough for Josh to operate and the running game to work. To me the guy seemed to have a really good game, moved well, anchored, got downfield when necessary. Nobody is going to play perfect against Dunlap, Jones and Clark, especially with lots of twists, stunts and blitzes coming at them, but all three interior linemen looked solid to me.

:Yeah you can include Bryant in there too, he probably won us that Ravens game with his goal line smash that allowed Milano to stop the TD. just Bryant, Jordan and DaQuan you could start a legit interior Dline

When it comes to playing elite qb's you have to get pressure with 4, and our offensive line didn't allow the Chiefs to do much at all with their pass rush. My biggest takeaway is that Saffold Bates Morse Dawk and Brown/Quess did one heckuva job on Jones and Clark yesterday and it was the difference in the game because they had to respect the run game and were forced to blitz Josh, which resulted in Gabe and Diggs TD's. Oline deserves a game ball.

Daboll was a good OC, when he gets a few years under his belt as a HC then we'll see how he is at the top. He seems to have the right personality for it, and is off to a great start. although the Bears, Panthers and Packers aren't exactly tough outs these days. Josh is still ripping it up with Dorsey, and will likely continue that with whoever they put in as OC.

The refs will get dinged on their e v a l for missing such an obvious trip, and I think Jones gets a token fine for the dirty play. Shame on Jones and shame on the refs for somehow looking the other way on such a game changing illegal play right in plain view.

Finally someone making sense. Josh isnt complaining about his targets not getting separation and catching the ball, if he has any issue right now its interior line play. Von was pushing OBJ because they are buddies but that was before he saw our kickass offense rolling people. Give me an upgrade at guard please, protect our QB and boost the running game a little. Thats where the smart money goes.

I remember when our owner was a cheapskate and our GM's were mediocre at best. Now we have a great owner and a top GM, plus an elite qb locked for 10 years.

I bought two tix for Steelers game on craigslist, no ripoff ticketmaster price gouging fees. Just make sure you use paypal goods and services to send your money NOT the normal friends/family where you just send someone you know money. Paypal wont protect you otherwise. What you do is have the seller send you a simple invoice via paypal, it takes less than a minute, then you just pay it and the seller transfers your tix. If the seller wont do the invoice via paypal they're likely a scammer. FYI I would say about a quarter of the tickets being sold by individuals for Sundays game were scammers. Be sure to speak with them over the phone and look out for the cheap priced ones in prime locations. p.s. ticketmaster charges ridiculous fees, its unethical and predatory pricing. Try to avoid them whenever possible.

Can't judge interior linemen on single plays like that. Blocking assignments can be complex and we aren't privy to what was called there. The real test is coming this sunday in KC. If Chiefs Dline can get push up the middle it ends up being a tough go for Josh because he starts to bail out earlier as the game goes on, and when that happens he starts taking more shots. I like Dorsey over Daboll because I feel like he's more sensitive to Josh's well being with the calls after we have a decent lead. Gonna need to have a big day from the boys in the trenches, we'll see what we're made of....

yeah thats exactly the vibe I got down in Miami a few weeks ago. Fins fans were salty and really have an inferiority complex, blame the league for everything, disgruntled.

Morris had a handful of highlight catches in training camp just like his grab today. I was praying they wld let Howard walk and keep #85 and it looks like they made the right call. Not sure how he grades out as a blocker but separation and hands he is very solid.

good point. On another note its been interesting to see how Von plays, he has far better gap control than a lot of the edge guys in the league. It sometimes looks like he's taking a play off but on the rewatch he's sealing off the backside of the play and sliding it towards the heart of the defense. Very cool to watch this guy operate, and lead what has become an elite front 7.

The general approach is to watch the body of the player being held and how they're impacted by it. Its clear that there is a clutch and grab element to most blocks nowadays, usually shoulder pads/jersey being where the offender holds. That usually gets ignored unless it results in turning, twisting or slowing down a player significantly. It seemed to me that The Ravens strategy on the offensive line yesterday was to hold everyone until they start flagging it, which took the refs almost a quarter to do.

My son and I are going to the game in Miami, wondering what the BillsMafia does pre or post game down there. Is there any kind of tailgate scene? Do Bills backers have a preferred lot?

And that there is no Easter Bunny, which I'm really not still coming to grips with fully almost 5 decades later.

I watched red zone straight for 6 hours today. The greatest part of it all is ZERO advertising. You really don't have any idea how much time you spend looking at ads and waiting for replays, time outs, delays etc until you hit the redzone and its all the stuff you want to see and none of the crap you don't. I would actually rather have redzone than the sunday ticket simply for that reason. You can get into the flow of the games, they split the screens when necessary (even three screens in one a few times today). There is just no bs, its all football. No stupid insurance ads, car commercials, cell phone carriers blah blah blah. Obviously can't be on the main TV for Biils games, but get a side TV and switch the volumes out when the Bills go to a commercial, you'll love it. As far as the 4 oclock games go, there are only 3 or 4 of them going so the redzone gives you a heavy dose of them all. Its a little more spread out with the 8 or so 1 oclock games but they still do a great job with it.

Theyre legit but they're another ticketmaster owned ripoff artist. Ticketmaster sells a 150 seat and gets 35 in fees for the original sale, then the tickets get resold through vivid seats or ticketmaster themselves and they tack on ANOTHER 35 for the second sale because, you know, they're "verified resale tickets" and god forbid you buy them using paypal and have someone electronically transfer tickets to you. So at this point the Bills have made 115 from the original sale and ticketmaster has made 70 on the same ticket. But ticketmaster isn't done yet, now they tell you that you have to download their app and give them all your information, cell phone, location, credit card etc because you just can't get in anywhere without some random scanning arcode BS which isn't actually true at all (screenshots DO work, you don't even have to have them in an Ewallet) and they sell your data to third party companies and get massive profits from that as well. This company has been doing this price gouging for so long it's pathetic. But they have exclusive contracts in place and pay the venues upfront so it's hard to part with them. A middleman should take a modest service fee, they just laugh in your face and say haha you have to pay this because we have the contracts and you don't. Total parasites and a zero value add. I hope when Mark Cuban is done cleaning up the immoral and unethical generic pharma industry he sets his sights on ticketmaster and buries those Aholes, so the next time some poor working class guy wants to take his family to see a football game he doesn't have to pay these scammers $200 just for the right to go see a game. The future will be peer to peer verified, blockchain style purchasing, and all the credit card, convenience fees and ticketmaster absurd surcharging goes away. Owners make more, fans pay less, everyone wins.

I heard a comment on MNF tonite that Pete Carrol was talking about a late round rookie CB who was starting for them as well, and ol slippery Pete said 'we'd have been happy if he was our first round pick the way he has been playing'. I thought of Benford right away. As much as I am still upset with Frasier and McD for grossly mismanaging the 13 seconds which I'm convinced cost us a superbowl title, it's nice to know those guys have the ability to recognize pure talent and put a late round kid from a small program out there under the bright lights on opening day and starting him ahead of our 1st rounder (although they both played about the same amount, it was still a start vs the superbowl champs) With the exception of Cody Ford I think our coaches truly don't care when a person was drafted, even if they are a walk on, they just want character, work ethic and results. Reminds me of almost 20 years ago when we signed a pair of undrafted roommates from Tennessee Jabari Greer and Rashad Baker and they both ended up being solid contributors to a very good defensive backfield for the Bills.

The key to consistently good defense is being disruptive and pressuring the QB with four dudes, as evidenced by our zero blitz evening on Thursday. Keeping Tremaine in the middle and flying around is the best way to use him. We have guys that are better equipped to rush.

This is exactly right. Eric Wood was talking about that too. Very few if any designed runs, they were options based on what Josh decides from the coverage he sees. I agree though, a high priority needs to be placed on an offense that offers the lowest risk of injury for 17. Especially with a 3 possession lead. Daboll called a designed Josh run up 21pts vs the Jets last year and he got hit so hard. Stupid risk, stuff like that should never happen again.
