That's just crazy talk, man. Like Robert Woods crazy!

I don't think those were trainers. I think they were independently subcontracted disinformation technicians. Is anybody here a Doctor of Disinformation Technology who would be wiling to analyze their shoes and haircuts and tell us who those guys really were?

I would expect that you would expect to have Beasley chew his own leg off instead of having it amputated.

No, but the Town of Orchard Park may be able to.

Just a heads up that warnings and multiple suspensions have been and will continue to be distributed for those who insist on bringing their politcs and COVID theories here. If you are too weak to control yourself, I'd suggest logging out.

I'm not remotely pissed off or spouting off. I'm just trying to explain to you that these suggestions are not rooted in the reality of our school district. Perhaps the difference in perspective comes down to the fact that you teach at a private school in Orange County, CA and I'm talking about public school in rural Western Pennsyltucky. We don't have the infrastructure, the technology, the money or the freedom that you have. Trying to incorporate that kind of a model here (or in many parts of the US that are not Orange County, CA) is simply a non-starter.

This is a logistic impossibility and bears no resemblance to reality This is irrelevant and the idea that "assignments" are the issue with a teacher trying to teach both live and online bears no resemblance to reality On the list of issues this ranks somewhere around 637th; suggesting it is the "biggest" issue bears no resemblance to reality.

I'm in Pennsylvania. I'm also married to a long time science teacher and see how hard she works every day to make this happen for her kids. No offense, but your assumptions re: education simply do not bear any resemblance to reality.

For all his athleticism, I think he still plays too high and stiff. I'm not really convinced that will ever change and have questions about the wisdom of paying him to play that position. After the bye Frazier was moving him around more and matching his responsibilities to his strengths. Last night they seemed to revert him to his role earlier in the season and he was awful. I'm wondering if the Bills are keeping some things in the bag these last couple weeks to limit film for playoff opponents.

I thought the signs he showed last year were limited to his physical tools and his will. He hadn't shown a whole lot of capability to manage the field and adjust to different looks. The mental leap he's taken this year is otherworldly. I've asked a few other TBD OG's if they can come up with a QB who has taken this kind of leap in a single year and nobody has managed to think of one yet. Can you think of any? I can't come up with one. Yeah, the first month or so teams were trying to throw man concepts at this offense and Allen and Daboll were absolutely shredding them. When they started to move exclusively to zones, it took a brief adjustment period but I agree that it just doesn't matter much right now. Belichik tried to run more man schemes last night than I expected and got his ass handed to him for his troubles. I think opposing co-ordinators have just reached the point where they're throwing their hands up and screaming "What the *@#& do you want me to do?" There's only so many things you can do and you still have to figure out a way to defend every freaking blade of grass on the field. Hell, when he's roiling right you even have to defend the first two feet of white paint also. It's a total nightmare for both coaches and players and the only solution I see is to limit their possessions by keeping the Bills offense off the field. That actually spooks me because when you consider the weakness in the interior of their Front7, that strategy actually has some potential for success.

Did you notice how long he kept his eyes on the post after he gave the safety that little pump? I swear he intentionally moved that safety with his eyes for almost a full second to keep him out of the third he knew he was going to lead Diggs into on the cross. He's not just reading it at this point, he's already progressed to that uncommon level where he's actively manipulating the field. It's a rare and beautiful treat to watch this incredible (and maybe even unprecedented) progression happening right in front of us every week.

That strike to Knox early in the 2nd qrtr was my favorite of the game and showcased Allen's massive leap forward in a single play. Sell the inside handoff hard to hold both LB's, immediately move the safety out of the lane with his eyes and then a quick release 30yrd laser right on Knox's hands. It's a great example of the total command of the entire field he's been showing for a couple months now. https://www.buffalobills.com/video/what-an-arm-josh-allen-hits-dawson-knox-with-a-24-yard-strike-bills-at-patriots

He's been really poor but he finally got a piece of the pie...

He tried it last week too trying to get one to Nsheke. I agree he's going to take another shot with somebody next week. I see Barkley catching one.

Boettger is still really struggling out there but the stability around him is covering a lot of mistakes.

Quinton Jefferson just played his best game of the year.

I made the mistake of listening to 5 seconds of that. I'm locking this thread in hopes of saving others from the experience.

tripped on the carpet trying to get stopped hes fine

It's you and us in the AFC and nobody else matters right now.

Maybe not like Meatball, but I'd be happy to give him a shot here. He might look good running behind Lee Smith.

And Oliver, White and Poyer

Nice cleanup but I think it was Butler who was the one that actually blew it all up

Nobody is technically supposed to lead with their head (including ball carriers) but it's never getting called unless a guy is unprotected catching a pass. You'd have to call it 25 times a game otherwise.

Cam's a runner at that point; he's no longer eligible for special protection

Newton is neither a QB nor unprotected at that point.
