Hmmmm. So good things happen when you run the ball? Who’d a thunk it? 🤷‍♂️

Really

Ooo. A penalty call for us!!!!

Let’s snuff it up

No argument there. That’s on Dorsey though. Knox can play and his blocking has improved.

They have him chipping and releasing a lot, as opposed to last season where Daboll used him on more intermediate and deep routes.

Oooo. Close for Cook

When you have a cheat code…. Use it.

Feed Diggs a bit.

Hines came to play. It’s nice having a reliable returner with some electricity to his game.

Jones is playing well too. Rousseau and Edmunds would be making a huge difference in this game if they were available.

The latter. He streams the opening of new and old packs of cards online.

I love those late Miami game when the crowd starts singing “let it snow”. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Chubb get his tomorrow. Side note; I’m glad I took 5/20 back east instead of 90 after that game.

You hope they beat the snot out each other, play through a full OT, and enter next week exhausted after a tie.

They weren’t world beaters, but rewinding a decade the interior Oline had highly drafted talent in Wood (1st), Levitre (2nd), Rinehart (3rd), etc. Say what you want about previous GMs, but they spent draft capital on interior Olinemen, and that translated to more success in the run game. They also took some risks on top talent with checkered history; some of which - Incognito- paid off. With regards to draft position and physical talent…. 2016 Offensive Line Cordy Glenn (2nd) Richie Incognito (3rd) Eric Wood (1st) John Miller (3rd) Cyrus Kouandijo (2nd) That line had issues, but it could physically dominate defensive lines in the run game, especially on the left side or with Incognito pulling.

Yup. I imagine they’re grooming Brady as Dorsey’s eventual replacement while Shula is there for experience and “break glass in case of emergency”.

IDK, but those are definitely hires that I’d make in a league where OCs that perform well are rapidly poached for HC jobs.

Respectfully disagree. You’re absolutely correct for the route concept we ran…. However, with a wheel route or motioned RB the LBer is only fully responsible for the first half of the route. Petersons responsibility would have been to break off and help over the top, especially if the LBer can’t carry the route. If Peterson makes the same assumption as he did and that LB isn’t fast enough the RB’s wheel route is open for an end zone shot. It’s why the CB is supposed to play that post on the outside hip of the WR instead of undercutting the route. Regardless, due to how Peterson played that route concept Allen should have either thrown to Singletary, thrown a high ball to Davis that would have gone out of bounds if missed, run it, or put it in the dirt. Peterson simply knew he didn’t have to worry about anyone threatening that zone unless the play turned into a scramble drill.

I have the sneaking suspicion that the offense is simultaneously too simple and too complex. It’s as though the play design, pre-snap structure & motion is too simple, which makes everything post snap (reads, option routes, etc) more complex. Couple that with the lack of a dominant run game and teams are able to sit on routes and in zones waiting for Allen to make mistakes. We also have the issue of Knox and the RBs chipping frequently which keeps them from going into motion and/ getting into their routes early. If the RB runs a wheel route or motions outside on that OT INT then Peterson is forced to stay in his zone. Instead it’s a chip and release, Peterson can roam, Allen has to hold the ball, and Davis has to make a choice of whether or not to flatten his route… All the complexity happens post snap because the defense didn’t have to think pre-snap.

They have to replace Saffold this off-season, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lineman in the first three rounds. My hope is that the draft lines up for talent wise for Beane to double dip on the Oline like he did with Rousseau and Basham. That said, I’m “bills fan prepared” for them to go defense.

IDK, but there have certainly been points in games this year where it looks like guys who’ve been on the team don’t know their assignments.

It is. I just don’t believe one good RB can overcome how poor the interior Oline is at getting push on inside runs. That said, I’d certainly prefer that they grab an offensive lineman or two in the first two rounds instead of a DE. A battering ram of a RB wouldn’t hurt in their committee approach either.
