I’m far too lazy to type it all out here and this article broadly explains it far better than I ever could https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2019/9/7/20851532/nfl-college-football-differences-hash-marks-defense-pressure

The hashes being spaced differently also has a much bigger impact on the college game and how it transfers to the NFL than most people think.

That defense is for real, but if TJ Watt or Alex Highsmith goes down that line suddenly looks VERY different. They have very good players on defense, but depth is a serious question.

I think during TC they have the cart there for even minor issues. No need to look tough and walk off on your own when the cameras aren't on.

case of Knox-itis 😂

Because in college you're lucky to maybe play against one person who is NFL caliber on a defensive line when you play an opposing team. You suddenly get to the NFL and every single person on that defensive line is NFL caliber. Also in college the hashes are much farther apart and you'd be surprised as to what that does to blocking schemes, formations and line movement and how that affects how defenses can play the offense, disguise coverages and how it forces the offense to play on a much 'wider' field in the NFL.

Kyle Allen suck less O'Cyrus really locking down the RG spot Damien Harris in some capacity (if he's healthy) More Shakir, that guy confuses me. Makes some INSANE catches and then stone hands a well placed ball right between the numbers... More action for the backend roster WRs and RBs

I like his blocking prowess and what he's shown as a pass catcher when given opportunities on other teams. It makes the idea of 12 personnel packages with him, Diggs, Cook, Knox & Kincaid on the field VERY interesting.

Nah man, Chris Jones is an absolute game wrecker when he wants to be. Guy has gotten a bit lazy in the regular season but he shows up in the playoffs or in late game situations when the game is on the line. He's like Von or AD, when you really need that play he's usually there for you. I'd LOVE to have Chris Jones on the Bills. A front 4 with Jones, Miller and Floyd would be a damn cheat code.

Why go under when you can just barrel though, amirite?

He was the WR3 (at least looking at yardage) in MIA last year and felt like I heard his name called a lot when I watched MIA games. Guy was just always open if a team had planned well for Waddle and Tyreek.

Don’t forget the Steelers

I have a gut feeling Hackett and Rodgers are gonna stink up the joint Broncos style. Hackett rode the coattails of LeFleur to a head coaching job and proved that he absolutely SUCKED at it. As an OC he's had pretty meh offenses except for GB (and that offense wasn't his) and he'd never called plays until he was HC of the Broncos and was...not good. For as good as Rodgers is I don't think that offense can overcome Hackett's terrible play calling abilities and their pretty questionable offensive line. Miami is legit good and between Tua staying healthy, Vic Fangio being a good DC and them having pretty decent personnel on both side of the ball except for a pretty pedestrian running game I think they'll give us a hard time and maybe even win a game against us. I am more afraid of Mia than I am of the NYJ. NE is NE and I just don't think that team has the firepower to match us, imo. I think the hype for NYJ is a bit misplaced, I see shades of Denver there. That defense is gonna be tough but I think their offense is going to struggle because Hackett sucks. NE is NE and Mia is gonna be a tough out.

Or how we was basically playing for most of the regular season on a bum leg because he was the only WR we had who could block. Crowder and Kumerow going down for the year early really sucked for our depth and forcing us to trot out players that were not 100%. It's also odd that we talk about what kind of bum Davis is when he basically had a great year statistically for yards and TDs last year and his catch rate didn't drastically go up or down either, its pretty in line with previous years because he's mostly used as an X receiver who runs deep so you're gonna see more drops/throwaways.

Why does that video include a run by Singletary? 🤣

It's easy to put up good numbers in the Big 12, not exactly a conference built of defensive powerhouses. Feel like Mims came into the league thinking he'd dominate DBs the way he did at Baylor in the Big 12 and was thoroughly humbled by how hard it is to even get NFL open in the NFL. I'd pass, even though he's played with meh QBs. Good wideouts get NFL open and shine even when the quarterback is so-so.

The Eagles won a SB with Nick Foles. Nick Foles is not a great quarterback. He was good when he needed to be and the team around him was absolutely stacked.

That game was so damn boring, think it ended 13-7 with our offense looking completely anemic which was such a letdown.

I think it's harder to establish a rhythm with 1-2 RB's because you're not really setting up a ton of run first plays. A lot of this type of running is predicated off PA/option plays. As for linemen, maybe its the mentality that you have to sell a ton of your blocking as pass and you have to wait for what happens in the backfield to then switch into upfield blocking and trying to set running lanes off script. It's a lot more mentally taxing to do that than to just know that on this play we're doing X. Also teams tend to play a team with a strong running QB differently. There's ALWAYS a couple of players peeking into the backfield and keeping an eye on the QB and runners to close those gaps/limit breakaways.

He was a Rex Grossman/Trent Dilfer type, he was alright but he wasn't going to win you a game when the chips were down. I'd argue that Shady got us to the playoffs just as much as Tyrod did.

We're a passionate bunch who may also give the Bills far more real estate in our heads than they deserve 😂

McKenzie is the current iteration of Leodis McKelvin, every time he touches the ball something amazing or something awful is going to happen. There is no middle.

I’m excited for the fins away game being late season so they can’t cook us alive in their stadium.
