  1. The issues are two fold. As many have pointed out punt and kickoff coverage is unlike any other plays. The blockers in many cases are running stride for stride with the tacklers. That doesn't happen on regular offensive plays. Two issues really piss me off. McD and Beane put so much emphasis on ST's players on the roster and they still suck. But even worse, games are significantly affected by the worst players on the roster and the refs. Smith holding some scrub on Tenn that then resulted in a flag significantly affected the outcome of that game. That is not what the NFL or any of us want.
  2. You must not have seen Dareus play. For four years he was an excellent DT - probably top 3 in the league. Oliver has 8 career sacks. Dareus had 10 in one season. He was two time ProBowl player and one time 1st team All-Pro. Yes he went to hell after the big contract, but to compare Oliver to Dareus at this point in his career is to not know your history. Oliver is playing at a decent quality starter level. Way under his draft status and well below what he will want to get paid. DT can take some time to develop. If he stays healthy I have no issue picking up his option. I'm fine with getting one more year out of him. No way am I giving him a long term deal.
  3. They were #1 only because they played terrible QBs. There were some nice signs of an improving pass rush but it was non-existent last night. Edmunds is better this year than last but still so far from being a dominant middle linebacker. Glass half empty: Bills are soft. Glass half full: so is most of the rest of the league. Tampa, Tenn, Pittsburgh, and maybe Baltimore are the only truly physical teams. Bills will win no less than 8 more games and have the division won by first week of December.
  4. On both sneak attempts Allen went left. On both tries the right side did their job. On the first one Allen looked like he was trying to fake inside and then rush outside like he did last week. On the last attempt he slipped. Even with the rush he may have made it if he could have kept his feet under him. The lack of execution or precision is a direct result of being physically overmatched. Other than Allen, Tennessee is just bigger and stronger at almost every position. Our O-line got worked bad. Morse had one of the worst games of his Bills career.
  5. Going for it was fine. Even the sneak call was fine. You would hope for something a little more creative since the entire world knew Josh was sneaking it when he went under center. How about running that Chiefs play they threw to Kelce at the goal lien against the Bills? No worried. The next tough game is not until December Can't reach unless it is over the goalline.
  6. Titans are physical and the Bills are finesse. Not really much more than that.
  7. He was short and no you can't fumble the ball forwards in the final 2 minutes of the game unless you recover your own fumble.
  8. Unreal. Outphysicalled all game right up until the end
  9. He was short. Right call to go for it
  10. Wow that hold was so far behind where the play was. But it was so dam obvious
  11. All on Allen now. Just hit the underneath stuff all the way down the field
  12. Yes and they got beat. Tannyhill is great against the blitz
  13. A+ for Edmunds on that one!!
  14. The offense put up 31 points so far. D needs to do its job
  15. Daboll botched that. Got greedy. Dink and dunk all the way down the field
  16. 5 min TD drive ends this game Max protect no rushes let Josh win the game
  17. Ok D there is your break. Make a stop
  18. Wow Phillips doing all he can to stay on the roster
  19. Pretty common to see that. If they make a play early then you bring in the starters on third down
  20. Good job McD going for two
  21. Henry is a MVP candidate. Titans are winning. They are calling a fine game. They praised Beasley on his 3rd down route and catch. They have been praising both teams
