Wtf did I just read?

Gilliam is a fixture on special teams and Hollister has been pretty meh with the Jags. He's currently behind Dan Arnold on the depth chart and was a healthy scratch for the game against the Bills. For his ability to line up in the FB position, play teams etc I think Gilliam is the better player.

subject to waivers or has accrued enough years to pick his team? Played at Iowa, bounced around the league a lot but been with NE since 2017. Probably played with Boettger on the Hawkeyes. If they released him there's probably a reason, but you can never have enough OL.

There seems to be an issue with how the Bills coach the guard spots. We've now had two players (Spain & Teller) play poorly at the guard spots, leave, and immediately play much better. One time I can chalk that up to a poor player/scheme fit, but two times? That to me flashes 'coaching issue.'

Pretty sure this taunting emphasis is gonna get scrapped next year just like the PI review. its universally hated by everyone in the league.

Is this gonna be our yearly field goal game?

Taylor is averaging 9+ yards a carry against them. Hines is averaging over 18 yards a carry.

Like the call to go for it. Don’t like the playcall.

Really respect Reich as a coach. He’s had to deal with so much nonsense in the last couple of years as Colts HC and he’s always had the team ready to play.

White slinging it all over the yard, can they honestly put Wilson back in there once he’s healthy without the locker room having an all out mutiny?

It's a cleverly staged optical illusion

hes for sure talented but he’s taking his lumps this year. He never really faced adversity while at Clemson so it’s no surprise he’s having issues processing being on a ***** team this year. He’s also looking for college open in the NFL and someone needs to tell him that doesn’t exist at this level.

Considering he's been averaging a healthy 8 rushing TDs per season, that estimate looks right on the money.

Josh Allen has 2 fewer rushing TDs than Fred Jackson. That one made me go “what”.

Come to think of it, I've never actually seen a Philip Rivers led team actually nail one of those come from behind drives. He always got them close, but it was always desperation heaves that resulted in a sloppy int or turnover on downs.

Probably combination of required/recommend infrastructure work to support extra vehicular and foot traffic along with funds that will be required to acquire any extra land that might be needed to support the stadium and surrounding complexes. Also extra survey work to determine any environmental impacts, assess soil quality and any potential remediation efforts required.

We have more mouths to feed and Josh has realized this year that he can throw to his TE's and RB's as well. All is well.

I love Fitzy but I don't ever want to be a fan of a team where he's the backup QB. I'm way too stitious for that.

He's a young kid, on a nationally televised show with a first ballot hall of famer and his brother (who'll prolly also get into the HOF on the back of two signature wins against Tom Brady in the Superb Owl, but otherwise career can be described as "fine") that he probably grew up watching on television. You could tell he was being extremely guarded, making sure he picked his words carefully and not take any obvious bait that could be twisted any particular way or used as bulletin board material. I also think that being on camera gets in Josh's head a bit and he comes off as somewhat stiff and wooden.

I think we'll be fine

I think he's played well enough to earn getting his 5th year option picked up. Unless he makes the pro bowl this year that option would be ~$10m which I would take any day. This gives you some room to make a decision as he plays on his 5th year option and give you some runway to extend some other folks first (Edmunds). If he keeps playing the way he does I'd come with a 3 year deal and try to make it average out to somewhere between $11-13m a year (would put him top 10-15 range of DT salaries), depending on how the cap shifts I'd like to see if I can get the cap hit down into the 8-9's through various contract negotiation mechanisms (signing bonuses, etc). I think he's worth money, but not top 10 DT money. Mostly due to production and the fact that the Bills run a platoon style defensive line so you gotta be able to spread the money around to 8 guys instead of 4.

Other than lack of a sacks this defense, at least statistically, looks to be just as good as the 2015 Broncos defense that lifted the shambled corpse of Peyton Manning to win a Super Bowl. This is a championship caliber defense.

I think we tried to do that in the first half and we basically looked like dog****. We were running 10 personnel, using more WRs to make up for Knox being out. Its when we switched to 11 in the second half and kept in extra blockers we were able to give Allen more time in the pocket to let some of those crossers over the middle for Beasley to develop. We have a really strong team and its going to be anyone's guess as to who is going to shine this week. If I was a defensive coordinator it would drive me nuts that I need to respect the run out of 10, 11 personnel. I need to have at least 3-4 strong DB's to cover Sanders, Diggs, Beasley and Davis. Knox (and to a degree Sweeney) are effective safety valves for layups and dumpoffs. Allen is a threat to take off for chunks if you play tight man and lose contain.
