  1. The Klein play was when they were down by 14 with 6 to go. In the NFL, you should be able to do any scheme. Too much talent looking for a job.
  2. The Richard Sherman quote, about him being the best player he ever played against, and Mike Turico ate it up worst than he did Cuomo. You liked that?
  3. The said he would be the next Jordan because he ran around. He took major hits for a year, then the league gave him that wild card win. Now they'll land him on a team and dump a bunch of money in it to try to salvage their mistake like they did with the dog killer.
  4. Adjust for QB. Darnold vs. Brady. Cousins vs. Rodgers. If you are down 17 points in the 4th quarter, yes, you will be better at stopping the run. They'll get a few first downs, your QB sucks and throws a pick, and it's over. Also adjust for situation. If it's 4th and goal for the game, are your guys going to make the stop? In that situation, would you rather have Quentin Williams or Fletcher Cox? It's always owner, then coach, then QB.
  5. Lions and Steelers underrated. Cleveland and Seattle overrated.
  6. In 2003, the Week 1 power rankings were a Bills/Bucs Superbowl. That 31-0 win with Sam Adams return TD. Lawyer Milloy was a game week FA sign. It was insane. I bet it was what really started the spy gate. Next week was another blowout win against the Jags. The game against Miami was what did him in. Ricky Williams got 30+ carriers in really awful heat. They took away the deep ball and rushed 3 knowing Bledsoe couldn't run and had short to mid accuracy problems. But for a while it was awesome. I remember seeing Brady in Week 2 of that year against the Jets and feeling sorry for him, like well his time's over now, time for the next guy. Those two weeks in 2003 were sure something though.
  7. Ever since the 4th quarter against San Diego at home, I expect the Bills to win every game. The offense was unstoppable, completions at will.
  8. Rousseau has that little extra push strength where the big LT slings back. That's a really good sign. Need some stunts. Big DT fires into the LT and he loops around, or X's, or looping to the inside gap. Going to be fun.
  9. McKenzie wouldn't surprise me. He dropped a punt in the pregame. He dropped a punt in the game. Then he got targeted a lot. McD does that right before he moves someone, like a highlight tape for other teams. Sammy. Dareus. Zay Jones. Next up is Knox if he keeps dropping too. One job. Catch the ball.
  10. Awful play. No skill. You're in the NFL. Learn not to be penalized.
  11. The way the question was phrased, it was like salary didn't matter. I just saw Allen Robinson's injury history. I'll go with your guy. I don't know rosters anymore. Just go with WRs. Can't get enough of them.
  12. Just wait 10 years, 5 different teams, 3 different positions and for Zimmer to loose 100 lbs.
  13. That's not an inspiring list. 5 years in, still waiting. A few more years, retirement. By this time, if he was going to do it, he would have done it. And that's in a league and position where you know what you got right out of the gate first look.
  14. https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7Ony/foot-locker-not-famous-andy-ft-arian-foster-and-julio-jones ok, not criminal Julio. ... ... oh ... ... ... wait a second ... Rich drug dealers laughing at the poor. Great to see that bail out money put to work.
  15. Inability of the defense to stop the run. What the Giants did in the first Superbowl, that was the playbook against the Bills. That divisional against Pittsburgh, and that wildcard against the Jaguars. The defense was ahead of it's time, all sacks, when the power tailback was just emerging.
  16. Start making them! Collect cans. Shred them to brillo pads. Microwave them. Draw them over a pipe. Bingo! $10 A-Coil and condenser.
  17. 1. Terrace Marshall Jr. : 6'3 2. Trey Hill: 6'4 UD: Daniel Faalele: 6'9 Felicano moves to guard. Bills finally get a #1 receiverLine them all up on one side. Josh Allen runs downfield again, and slides.
  18. I thought they gushed over JJ Watt and Watson in last year's wildcard. But wow, the Kyle Murray love fest takes it to another level. Just for fun, let's take a look at pro sports when they were first created. Football had a stats line for deaths. Naismith first basketball game ended in a free for all battle royal landing everyone in the hospital. Ty Cobb knifed his own teammates. It was tough because if you lost, you got drafted in a horrible war where you had to charge a machine gun nest with a stick. Things calm down. When others make it easy enough, everyone props up some rich kid spoiled midget. He becomes a millionaire and a movie star and is still unhappy. This is what my money buys. It's downright insulting. If it was a few decades ago, he would have be brained and dying in a coma. I think about what would be the equivalent today. Doesn't matter who you are. If you mess up, people die and we're going to kill you. No one's going to help you, let alone bail you out. The operating room, preventing a nuclear meltdown, mining an asteroid, really shows you what matters.
  19. Gailey's win wins per year here: 4, 6, and 6. First pick, highest in Bills history to set the identity? Marcel Dareus. Ralph Wilson was very ill, and brought in business managers for the sale of the team to help his family. Paul Allen was ill too. But his wealth was outside of his team and he dumped money to win a super bowl. Things like committing pass interference on every play and daring the league to throw 100 flags a game. Wilson's early years were horrendous. Short check-downs and mostly read option. Everyone in the league was afraid of Marshawn Lynch, run out of Buffalo because of drugs. Who cares how big you are or how fast you are if your going to just lay down and punk out? Still going to take your million dollar paycheck.
  20. Allen was playing at an incredible level, completions at will. Rams game sticks out, that last drive. Raider game, that shoulder injury, brought his pace down some. Oline with more run blocking will get better. Defense has also been on a turnover drought until the last two games, plus Zimmer. I just want to remind everyone of the "That's not roughing the kicker" against Carpenter on prime time. The league used Buffalo as it's whipping boy for much too long. It's time to destroy Wilson and take revenge.
  21. The RB, like in a zone run. You have a big mess of blockers, and Edmunds, the one free guy who needs to make the play, standing straight up 7 yards behind them. Easy to get him to bite on one move. Edmunds needs to look at the RB's belt buckle, and stop hopping up when he takes on a blocker. Shoot the gap and rip or swim with decisiveness and purpose.
  22. The center is going to be at least a half step behind because of the snap exchange. Whether the defense covers the center or not determines the strategy, 3-4 vs 4-3. It's one of the few natural points of leverage in the game, like the QB blind side, and the 11 vs. 10 if you count the QB out of the play. Besides the snap, the big thing are the steps. Step too deep, the center trips his own QB and sacks him. Consistency is big on the oline and inches count. QBs get a feel for the pocket. RBs can get a feel of the blockers. Staying healthy all season is a lot more important than athleticism, second only to not taking penalties. A pre-snap routine is big too. Linemen murmur their own version of the play call, simplifying the playbook. They watch for substitutions too. There's little physical cues for remembering the snap count from the huddle to the line. There are calls at the line which even account for the secondary coverage.
  23. All comes down to Allen. When Aikman, and god do I hate Aikman, said he was 6'1" his freshman year, that explains a lot. He plays like that, and he needs to mature fast. His rookie year there was a list of players who shouldn't be in the NFL that other players made. Allen was on it. I was surprised but now I know why. He's a great thrower of the ball, but not a pro QB. He needs to respect the game much more. You're in a practical operating room doing surgery. That's not the time to freestyle.
