Flores is exactly what Kyler needs.
Time to get to work!
Why? Does he squad up on COD?
I think Sean Payton would be an outstanding fit in Arizona. Kyle has a lot of similarities to Drew Brees especially when Brees was mobile early in his career, i think Payton can do a great job masking his height with deep drops and play design for throwing lanes much like he did for Brees for years.

Vegas like the Bills by 5.5... I'll take Vegas over ESPN any day of the week.

It’s a given they will need to replace Saffold either through FA or the draft.
Brown is the question mark. He has been inconsistent for nearly 2 seasons…do they fish or cut bait? In the past they have given prospects many chance to succeed. My guess is they bring in a veteran RT - maybe a small step about a Quessenberry to push him and potentially start if necessary.
The answer here is they need to kick Brown instead to guard and get a new RT.
Brown is a beast, strong, nasty, big dude. I think he would play very well at guard if given an offseason to get acclimated.

In the past i used to do lengthy in depth posts with gifs.. don't have time for that nowadays
I watched every passing snap to evaluate pass blocking performance as well as Josh Allen unforced errors committed (PASS BLOCKING ONLY EVALUATED.. did not evaluate running plays).
Unforced error = Allen has time to throw, wr is open and he misses throw.. or.. Allen makes poor unforced decision
OLINEMAN BEATEN = O lineman clearly loses his one on one matchup... or.. clearly misreads stunt/combo block
____
OLINEMAN BEATEN STATS
DAWKINS - 0
SAFFOLD - 1
MORSE - 0
BATES - 0
BROWN - 7
-DAWKINS - Dion was mostly solid. He had a few reps where his guy beat him on a speed rush to the outside.. but he recovered just enough to not make it a lost rep
- SAFFOLD - Two weeks in a row of solid performance for Saffold. He had one false start.. but did not surrender any obvious pressures to my eye
- MORSE - Usual reliable self. Had one rep on Allen sack where Bates was pulling behind him on a fake run and Mitch didn't quite get over to fill Bates' gap and the blitzer got through. That being said.. i think it was just a bad play call by Dorsey... and bad timing on safety blitzing in that gap.. so not gonna penalize the center for that.
-BATES - zero pressures surrendered.. and he played against Christian Wilkinson a lot. See above comment regarding the Allen snap. On live TV it totally looked like Bates' fault.. however.. watching all 22-- the play call clearly had him pulling out of that gap.
- BROWN - Absolute tire fire. If you saw Josh having to step up in the pocket.. or shift up and drift to his right out of the pocket.. it was because of Spencer Brown. #15 Phillips absolutely dominated him all day. On most reps.. Phillips just clean beat him to the outside on speed rush.. causing Allen to have to bail out of the pocket early several times. These edge rushes then set up several reps where Phillips faked outside.. got Brown to overshift.. and then he beat him inside for pressures. This was one of the worst ass whoopings I've seen an OT take. Granted Phillips is a stud.. but he had #79 on rollerskates most of the day.
OL SUMMARY : Outside of RT Brown.. the o line had a very solid day in pass protect. The vaunted Miami inside DTs did not do much damage at all. Singletary was particularly solid in picking up a lot of the zero blitzes. The Line also seemed to communicate well against all the blitzing.
QB UNFORCED ERRORS: Josh had 6 unforced errors by my count. Based on my history of doing this kind of analysis when a qb has 5 or more unforced errors the chances of his team winning decrease materially.
- UE 1: Q1 - #17 scrambles left, needlessly fakes a pitch and fumbles it out of bounds
- UE2: Q2 - INTERCEPTION - Deep attempt to Brown. Josh had time, should have thrown it away .. threw ball late/flat footed and off target to Brown. Romo was wrong about it being Smoke's fault
- UE3: Q3 - BAILS POCKET - Josh had a clean pocket and could have hung in for another second.. but he stepped up and out of the pocket and underthrew Beasley on crosser over middle.
- UE 4: q3 -INTERCEPTION - Clean pocket.. late throw to Beasley that gets tipped and picked. He should have thrown it away.
- UE 5: Q4 - Clean pocket - overthrow in flat to Shakir
- UE 6 : q4 - Clean pocket - slant to Davis is low and behind.
SUMMARY - 4/5 of the O Line performed fantastically against the Fish. Allen had many instances where he climbed the pocket instead of bailing.. and for the most part he handled the pressure well. I think he's so used to Spencer Brown getting beat to the outside he naturally steps up and to the right. Last week Allen and Co. had trouble wiht the Patriots delayed cb, lb and s blitzes. For the most part the Dolphins weren't that subtle. They crowded the line and sent everyone all at once most of the time. Singletary was amazing at pass pro this week.. much better than last week against Pats. Josh' 6 unforced errors were much higher than his usual 2 or 3. Some of that may be due to Miami DL getting their hands up into passing lanes. The Dolphins DBs had pretty tight coverage on some plays.. and on a few of those plays Bad Josh came out when he threw late to Beasley and Brown when he should have just thrown it away. The good news is that Allen did actually throw a couple away when noone was open.. so he has the aptitude to do that when nothing is there.
Dawkins - 0 times beaten.. ( fyi)
Completely disagree those 2 INTs are on Josh. Brown stopped running and made zero effort to catch the ball. Josh has the arm strength to pump and throw "flat footed" especially since he worked on his mechanics to be more of a rotational throw, he can let it rip without striding.
The throw to Beasely went through his hands and off his chest. Beasely had played minimal football this year, is 33, and it shows.
Both of these throws were after Josh worked through his progressions so obviously it's not going to have the timing of a ball that's delivered first read off the snap as part of the play design.

You realize McKenzie had a hamstring injury and was DNP Thursday and limited Friday and was listed as Questionable right?
Philips was listed as Questionable as well and didn't play either...was there some sort of conspiracy with that too?
I thought Beasley made some key plays and scored a TD...or were you still too up in arms to notice that?
McKenzie stated himself that the injury would not prevent him from playing, i.e. coach's decision.
Regardless the decision to make Beasley and Brown large contributors to the gameplan was ridiculous and directly cost us 2 turnovers. John Brown who stopped running then made zero effort to catch the ball, and Beasley having one go threw through his hands, off his chest, and to the defense. John Brown played just about the same snaps as James Cook.
We are lucky we didn't lose that game.
On 1/16/2023 at 8:40 PM, NewEra said:Brown: 28% of the snaps + 1 target = that large of a role
Beasley played 42% and had a TD and 29 yard catch.
9/16 3rd down conversions- 316 passing yards. Over 100 rushing yards.
the passing game didn’t suffer because McKenzie was out. McKenzie wouldn’t have reduced the 7 sacks or the turnover.
John Brown played 2 less snaps than James Cook. Yes, that is a large role in the gameplan. Unless you think Cook doesn't have a large role in this offense???
Yes, McKenzie would have reduced the turnovers, Beasley had one go through his hands and clank of his chest to the defense... John Brown stopped running then made zero effort to catch the other.

Beasley did have a big first down with a great YAC effort and a TD. Then again he had a miss on a not totally accurate pass on the first drive and bounced one to the other team. I wouldn’t call it absolute dog crap though (and I can’t stand the guy).
I love Beasley, but the dude is literally a corpse of himself, he's lost all his athleticism he's so slow gets no separation, he was like that last year it was time to move on.
John Brown stop running and making no effort to go after that football is unacceptable. He's soft.
6 minutes ago, Casey D said:McKenzie is hurt. Hamstring.
McKenzie said himself it was minor and would not prevent him from playing. Coaches decision.
Regardless even if you
I were to concede the point of the "injury" the player said himself wouldn't impact him from playing, giving that large of a role to Brown and Beasley is inexcusable and it created 2 turnovers.

Maybe you should try drinking less during gameday.
The deactivated McKemzie in favor of the corpse of Cole Beasley and corpse of John Brown, both given big roles in the game plan and both predictably played like dog crap.
It's unreal how some people like yourself want to stick your head in the sand then dismiss any deserved criticism of a coach that continues to shoot this team in the foot EVERY playoff.

No, I don't think so...I think the Bills played arrogant football on offense too much of the game as if Miami couldn't stop it and they wanted to rest starters by the 4th quarter. They were trying to beat them 55-3 instead of just making sure they won.
Their arrogance almost cost them. I don't think they would have had the same gameplan if Tua played or have played so loosely goosey on offense.
It means ZERO going into next week. ZERO.
It means everything, because the same coaching staff will be coaching next week. The same coaches from 13 seconds, same coaches with zero scheme for Kelce the year before, same coaches that blew the Texans game the year before that packing in the offense with the slightest lead caving in the 2nd half. Yet again we have horrible game planning and an unprepared team. If you don't see the pattern by the 4th consecutive year, there's nothing to tell you because you refuse to see it by this point.
We really just put the corpse of Cole Beasley and corpse of John Brown on the field and gave them huge roles in the gameplan, deactivating McKenzie-- because we all know old, slow guys with their athleticism sapped play better at WR in the playoffs. Competely irresponsible.

I disagree, McD has earned the right to coach this team.
But i’d be lying if I said I didn’t wonder what Daboll would have done with this team.No he hasn't, that's a joke. Guy has fallen flat on his face every playoff. This is the man that benched his starting QB for Nate Peterman.
Great culture builder, but game day and scheme are two very different things than workplace culture.
Some coordinators fail as coaches because they can't get the house in order culture wise. Unfortunately, we got the culture builder that is not a Chamionship caliber coach when it comes to Xs and Os and gameday.
Hamlin situation was bad but it does not give the coach a get out of jail free card for his repetitive shortcomings and failures in postseason. Sorry but its the truth.

Coaching staff holding the team back. Another annual McDermott postseason failure, lucky to escape. Hopefully they got it out of their system and they were overlooking Miami (still bad in ppstseason play), better have a well crafted gameplan for our presumed matchup vs Cinci.

Because Dabol is the brains of the Bills offense, and he's gone took Hodgins as soon as he was available.
Should have left McD in KC after his latest postseason meltdown, 13 seconds, and elevated Dabol.

Should have fired McDipsh** last year. Now we are paying for it. This is a joke. Flat, can't catch, can't block, horrible gameplan. This is a joke.

Big Al pronounces Etienne as E-T-N like it's an acronym. Here's how Etienne pronounces it: https://www.nfl.com/videos/travis-etienne-explains-correct-pronunciation-of-his-last-name-to-steve-smith-sr
He also pronounces Ekeler as "Ek-a-ler" which is handy to remember for the next time we have Haiku week around here.
I don't get it, in the video he says the E-T-N pronunciation is the correct way. He says that back in NOLA on the bayou they have the accent where they say "ay-chen" but he says ETN is the proper way.

"A bunch of scrub WR?" ROTFL.
Juju Smith Schuster is far from a "scrub WR". He came close to 1000 yds as a rookie and was pro-bowl with 111 receptions and >1400 yds his 2nd year. He fell off in 2019 with the likes of Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges throwing to him, and in 2021 when he was injured and only played 5 games, but other than that, he's been what he's been for the Chiefs this year - a 58 yd per game, 77% catch guy. If he's a scrub and never had it, why did the Chiefs pay him $3.8M on a 1 year "prove you still got it after your injuries" deal?
And if Marquez Valdes-Scantling is such a scrub, why did KC offer him 3 years, $30M guaranteed?
These guys aren't Davonte Adams or Tyreek Hill, but they're at worst, proven good quality NFL receivers.
If he's a scrub, why did KC draft Skyy Moore in the 2nd round? Kadarius Toney cost next year's 3rd round pick, and of course Mecole Hardmen is a former 2nd round Chiefs pick. That's a goodly draft pick investment for "a bunch of scrubs.
This is a horrible analysis from top to bottom.
Juju is not very good, which is why even with Mahomes he didn't reach 1k. He had 1 big year in the slot like 4 years ago when he had prime AB pulling all the top coverage and schemes.
MVS is trash. Spent his whole career with Aaron Rodgers and Mahomes, has never had 700 yards and has a career high of 42 catches. He's got a good 40 time and teams like his personality. He's dog crap on the field.
Draft status is not an argument for a guy being good especially round 2. Skyy Moore has a chance to be good but he was not ready to contribute this year as a rookie. Hardman is a perennial disappointment. Toney had 17 targets this year, wasn't acquired until mid year and injured he had minimal impact on the field, has potential in the long run.
Other poster was pretty accurate describing the team as Kelce then scrub WRs.
5 hours ago, Boatdrinks said:The change to only 1 bye week has given the #1 seed outsized importance, to be sure. Make no mistake though, if the Bills had been matched up with JAX this board would be full of consternation and worry. No one would be saying they had a ridiculously easy path etc.
Lol no. You might have a couple people worried sure because there's people that worry about everything, but plenty would see it as easy... but board opinion doesn't matter at the end of the day anyway. Win 1 home game vs a 9-8 team is an easy path make no mistake. The difference between 1 and 2 seed : bye week then Jaguars at home... or tune up game vs crap Miami, then home game vs Bengals.
The 1 seed is overpowered right now though, it's a problem for a league that bangs its chest over parity.

The Jags are a nice feel good story. However, they won't come close to winning in Arrowhead. Their path to the AFC championship game is ridiculously easy.

Mahomes had 40, 39 and 45 this year, While Allen has had: 45, 42, and 42 this year (with one less game)
Not sure what your point is. He didn't have 3 straight lol.

Random stat? 2nd player ever to have 3 consecutive 40 TDs, not that random hater.

Josh Allen just had his 3rd consecutive year with 40+ Total TD. The only other player to ever do that was Drew Brees, also with 3 straight, now sharing the NFL record.
Mahomes had 39 last year so he hasn't had back to back yet although he's done it 3 times in his career.
Aaron Rodgers has done it in back to back but not 3 straight.
Brady has done it 4 times total in his career.

Eric Moulds is THE BEST BILL I have seen play not to be on that wall, period. He should be duly honored as he will never don a gold jacket for the NFL HOF because of the chronic inability of the organization to get a quarterback worth a damn.
I'm all aboard the Moulds train at this point.
Watching old highlights of him is insane dude looks like a TE. He was always big but going back and rewatching him is a trip.
