    Not really the same thing, but when my son played college football, he ate 6-8 PBJs a day. Helped keep his weight, high protein and gives you energy.


    Yeah energy density on a PBJ is solid, checks all the boxes for protein, carbs and fat. Just laughing to myself thinking that halftime for adult football players is more like my kiddos snack time than a solid strategy check for adjustments going into the back half. 

  2. Nothing personal against Beth Mowins, she's never honestly bothered me that much but my head kind of tunes out the announcers as I watch the game anyway.

     

    Really wish there was some way you could mute just the broadcast booth, increase the volume of the stadium down/distance/player announcements and keep the stadium noise.

  3. Backup QBs always seem like they’re having great seasons until they meet the Bills defense. 
     

    Brandon Allen, Devlin Hodges, Tua (last year), Justin Herbert.

     

    Unless you have a fantastic line and a killer running game, Frazier’s schemes make most QBs look very mortal.

    I think teams seem to worry a fair bit about taking away Beasley

     

    Sanders, jury still out on whether he’s washed or just hasn’t built rapport with Allen yet.  One pass I saw I think Davis would have gotten it (if healthy)

     

    Diggs and Beasley were #1 and #2 in targets on the team last year, teams are scheming to force the ball away from those two. Last year teams weren't ready for 14 and 11, this year they are (at least up to now). We've either faced some very good defenses that can shut down our 2 best receivers, or teams are just making sure that whatever happens make sure you know where 14 and 11 are and don't let them catch the ball.

     

    I think we'll be fine. Just need to lean on the run game which looks much better (so far) and draw up plays where 14 and 11 aren't the first or second read while we iron out the kinks.

  5. I almost wonder if the slow wind up/triple step is coached as part of the punt team unit. To give the coverage team time to get downfield and setup blocks, close lanes and prevent big returns. A big knock on Bojorquez is that he would unleash bombs but frequently outkick the coverage which gave returners a lot of room to run.

     

    I don't recall the slow wind up being a knock on Haack in MIA.

     

    It is troubling that it's so slow and it looks like he's basically just getting the kick off every time but I wonder if this is a "feature" and not a "bug".

    What I really enjoyed was the way Dungy coached Peyton.  He told Peyton that really the defensive coaching staff of the other team doesnt believe you are disciplined enough to stay patient.  They feel you will get impatient or bored and push the ball down field into coverage.   

     

    That line I think says everything. Allen wants to go for the kill every down/series. He needs to be patient and just take what's there.

    This obsessive worry over Allen seems weird to me.

     

    We're a board of Bills fans, most of them deeply scarred and broken by 2 decades of futility and irrelevance, sprinkled in with just enough hope only to have the rug pulled out from under us when we drop our guard.

     

    I'm surprised at how civil the discourse here is for the most part.

  8. Watching them drop Rousseau into coverage was interesting, he's got the speed and length to do it and for DCs to potentially have to worry about that is another interesting wrinkle.

     

    Zimmer just has an insane motor, there was multiple plays where a RB or WR would break free for a gain and Zimmer would be the first one there chasing the guy down. For a DT that's pretty bonkers.

    The Steelers, absolutely I will die on that hill. Three in their prime all pros on the dline, and Hayden and Fitzpatrick in the secondary. If they stay healthy that defense is insanely good. 

     

    Alualu out for the year with a broken ankle, TJ Watt left the Raiders game with a groin injury.

  10. I swear there's some kind of tell our offense has now that there's a year of game tape on them to dissect. Feels like most plays the dl knows how the protection is going to slide before the snap and defenses seem to be able to play coverage well enough to at least force Allen to his 3rd read and beyond. Not sure if we just played some great defenses and/or secondaries, or something else.
