  1. Good read: How Mike Martz and The Greatest Show on Turf kicked off an NFL revolution https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/05/23/rams-greatest-show-on-turf-mike-martz-dick-vermeil Let’s be honest,” Warner says, “we had a collection of talent that was ridiculous.”...The process started by retaining Isaac Bruce, a second round pick for the Rams in 1994. It involved the prescient and serendipitous signing of Kurt Warner in ’98, a grocer at the local Hy-Vee in Cedar Falls, Iowa just four years prior, as third-string quarterback. That preceded the unheralded drafting of speedy Az-Zahir Hakim in the fourth round of the ’98 draft, and the free agent pick up of crafty veteran Ricky Proehl that same year. It was officially set in motion with the heist of Marshall Faulk, in a trade from the Colts as a result of a contract dispute; and it culminated with the selection of Torry Holt with the sixth pick in ‘99. It was also a collection of talent that all possessed a rare quality, an ineffable quality, a borderline cliché quality, that allowed the Coryell system to operate at a level of efficiency and efficacy that had never before been seen: high football IQ. Bottom-Line, this team, in my opinion, is lacking in the "Ridiculous Collection of Talent" at the WR position to master any offensive system. We have a decent core with Allen, Cook (if he can improve his pass catching), Kincaid, Diggs, and Shakir. But we need two more WRs who are high IQ, fast, tall, and compliment each other. Davis was decent, but he was limited. I think his best role was as a #4 vice #2. Our WRs who best appeared synchronized as a group was the 2021 above-average core of Diggs, Sanders, Beasley, and Davis (with Sanders & Beasley at the end of their careers). We need two studs to go along with Diggs and Shakir, with one of those kids eventually taking over for Diggs in a year or two.
  2. Depends on if they can slow/contain their running game. I agree if Baltimore is able to run and control the clock. That’s their strength.
  3. Finished watching; can’t believe how poorly Brady called the game around the two minute warning.
  4. Here's the deal. Everyone forget Josh to James Cook last year with 8 Seconds left before halftime? https://youtu.be/hxrSCTq4GBY?si=Eb6GgMzDxyR6WKdW Bottom line: If you don't want Josh to make a play, then you tell him so (pre-huddle) to burn a few seconds and then throw it away. If you don't give him those DIRECT instructions, then the playmaker is going to try and make a play if one is to be had. The play was "that close", just great closure and tackle by the defender. If McDermott wants to act like a whiny toad, then you as the coach, TAKE CONTROL of the situation.
  5. And this has what to do with the Buffalo Bills in 3...2...1...?
  6. I did answer your question; just not the answer you're hoping to see.
  7. The times he's gotten hurt was when he was in the pocket - getting sacked and landed on by 400 lb fatties, hitting is hand/elbow on helmets when throwing. So, since your not a Bills fan, and clearly a troll, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
  8. That's how it looked to me. Based on where and when Allen threw the ball, he anticipated Davis would plant and turn around and the ball would have been right there. Instead Davis planted and then cut to the right. It's an obvious miscommunication or misunderstanding on a Cover 0 blitz beater. Unfortunately, it's something that is too frequent between the two. I'm pretty confident that if Davis simply planted and turned around, that would have been a TD or incomplete pass at worse. Regardless; it's something they need to fix.
  9. Another data point...despite playing 1x less game, Jackson was sacked 37 times to Allen's 24.
  10. I think 24 more total TDs and he will have the most combined TDs in Bills history.
  11. OMG, that’s the funniest comment I’ve read in a long time!!!!
  12. I agree with you. The second half play calling left a lot to be desired (felt very Dorsey-ish).
  13. What's up nerd. It's weird how sensitive people are about Lamar Jackson and Cam Newton - yet you're the most sensitive when people bring them up in their discussions. You're no different than the posters you complain about. There's three things guaranteed in life - Death, Taxes, and @C.Biscuit97 never missing an opportunity to criticize Allen. It's no secret you're not a fan.
