The ball bounced our way. I can't believe it.
Only because we’re playing the Browns.

I don't care what the D gives up between the 20s and nor should you
Between the 30’s for me. Nice to keep FGs over 45 yards

That might be the needed momentum change

Edmunds slip?

Y’all know it’s actually legal to mail a crow right? Dead or alive.... You can mail one to these places as a “stick it to `em” if you’re that livid about these predictions. You can also have a pie delivered from a bakery with “humble” spelled in the crust.... Be creative.... Maybe blow up their Twitter with links to Humble Pie songs and #billsmafia if we stop the browns????
Have fun with this. The bills are 6-2! Enjoy the ride.

I "Trust" that this will be addressed in FA or the draft. I'm ok with this and glad we didn't pull off a lopsided trade at the deadline. Don't want buyer's remorse.
I think it will be. Depending on what happens with the other Phillips I wouldn’t be surprised to see another DT drafted in the first three rounds. Wait and see. ?♂️

....very fair assessment IMO.....hate to use " stop gap" because it connotes desperation......"plug and play" sounds far better and McBeane knew what he was getting.....cap hit(s) say he may be here for awhile......
IMO, Star is better than a simple “stop gap”. Beane has shown that he’s not handing out long term contracts to stop gap players. Star’s role was/is vital to the defense functioning properly. He fit a need, knew the defense, etc. He may be overpaid for that role, but I don’t care how they spend Peg’s money as long as they have the cap space to resign critical players. I think a lot of folks aren’t being honest with how long it can take to develop defensive tackles, especially NTs that don’t have blue chip physical traits... It’s strength and technique which take time to build. They will put guys in the pipeline and Star likely won’t be retained for the same salary once his contract is up. If they end up finding a gem like Pat Williams he might be released.
Not having a replacement for Horrible Harry is a much bigger problem than Star’s ability.

I don't care about splashy plays, I just don't want to be last in the league in interior rush yards allowed. Star is supposed to stop that from happening, that's why Star is getting called out
It’s almost unavoidable when the player rotating with Star is on IR. We currently have a 350 pound man playing more than he should which is going to lead to mistakes. Let’s also keep in mind that Edmunds is making the calls. In most systems the MLB is responsible for adjusting gap assignments on the fly.

I don't think that's a fair assessment of Star. I watched several quarters with an eye on him. Although he does not get off blocks and finish plays, he tends to hold his ground against mostly double team blocks. I'd characterize him as a role player, not a play maker.
The issue is that fans expect Star to perform in a manner similar to other NTs in that salary range; many of whom make more splash plays. Unfortunately, that comes with neglecting several details... most notably when Star was signed he was one of the best NTs on the market, and they needed a plug and play NT. Beane & Co can definitely upgrade the position, but it will likely be a phase out as they develop younger players to take over the role.

This is the game John Brown finally breaks out. Over 150 yards and 2+ TD's!
It would be a great talking point all week if Allen goes off for 350 total yards and 3 TDs with some big plays to Brown while Mayfield implodes.
I have no clue how this game is going to go, but capitalizing on an early Browns turnover could make this a fun game to watch

How many of those made the pro bowl in the last couple of seasons?
That is in many ways a catch-22.... The probowl is very dependent upon the fan vote, and national fans are rather ignorant when it comes to players on other rosters that aren’t pimped by ESPN.
The answer to your question though is Hyde and Andre Roberts.

OP. You forgot about the disgraced El Capitan we shipped of to Jax.

The religious aspect isn’t necessarily a critical component. The point is that most often great leaders display faith in something bigger than an individual. They lead with strength, resolve, compassion, respect, accountability, and empathy. A humanist can certainly display these traits through an atheist worldview. They inspire a feeling of brotherhood and a universal faith in those around them.... a belief that “we will succeed”. Belichick has inspired that belief through success. There isn’t a player in the NFL that believes BB would put the pats in a losing situation for personal gain. Faith exists in many ways... It’s the hope and belief in ones self, and those around ones self, that can lead to success when things are going poorly: it can inspire perseverance.

Josh Norman was covering and talking trash to Odell all game long. Tre doesn't have a reputation for talking as much as Norman, but he is a better corner than Norman ever was, so we will see what happens.
If Tre can make Gronk tweak out he can likely get OBJ into a tizzy.

Favre was injured during his year with the Jets and is believed to be a big reason for the drop-off mid-season. I believe the team was even fined for not disclosing.
IIRC it was a torn bicep.

That’s what eventually wore Kaepernik down. It was plain to see that DCs were coaching their guys to hit him on every option play. If he was your key, you smacked him, regardless whether he kept the ball or not. That said, it’s hard to hit what you can’t catch and Jackson is just so elusive. But it’s only a matter of time before somebody gets that clean shot.
It’s going to happen eventually. The NFL has done a good job of getting unnecessary roughness out of the game, but if they tell defenses they can’t hit QBs even when they threaten a run there’s going to be a problem.
plus, there’s always a Burfict in the league

Sounds like a recipe for a lot of free 15 yds and 1st down "roughing" calls against your team. Pitching the ball counts as a pass by NFL rules.
You're absolutely correct that an injury could derail it, but pocket passing QB get injured, too.
I think the sustainability issue is more around will defenses solve it and figure out a way to shut it down? Because I think that happened in SF and in B'lo.
“When the passer goes outside the pocket area and either continues moving with the ball (without attempting to advance the ball as a runner) or throws while on the run, he loses the protection of the one-step rule provided for in (a) above, and the protection against a low hit provided for in (e) above, but he remains covered by all the other special protections afforded to a passer in the pocket (b, c, d, and f), as well as the regular unnecessary roughness rules”.
https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/roughing-the-passer/
I couldn’t find the section that refers to pitches. Perhaps my interpretation is skewed by watching college ball, but in an option play the QB counts as a runner attempting to advance the ball. He’s fair game, particularly if running the ball close to the LOS.

I think that's selling Lamar Jackson way short, GoBills. He is both a better passer and a better runner than TT.
But if your point is that Greg Roman has dusted off one of the best systems for a dual threat QB, plugged LJax into it and tweaked it to fit, you're right.
That system has had sustainability issues in the past. An injury could completely derail it. I’m reserving final thoughts until Jackson shows he can dominate a decent defense without running or somehow manages not to get hurt for years.... If I’m an opposing D coach I’m preaching option rules to my DEs.... Hit the QB every play, even if he pitches the ball.

Last Offensive All-Pro from the Bills 1991
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Are we just going with first team all-pro? I ask because Moulds, Jason Peters and Rueben Brown made 2nd team all-pro while Bills. Point still stands though as it’s been a decade since any of those guys were Bills. The biggest issue has been poor talent at QB which drags down all of the other skill position players. Get your hands on an all-pro QB and a WR or two is likely going to the probowl.
