Lol, Juju runs a pick play and intentionally runs into the defender (which is KC bread and butter at the goal line) and they call the defender. KC not beating the allegations here.

Raiders pass defense is ass

Rooting for: Bengals over Steelers ✅ Rams over Jags Titans over Pats Raiders over Chiefs Chargers over Colts Giants over Broncos Seahawks over Texans

Well, the alternative is Rex Ryan and Kevyn Adams...

We've definitely had Allen playing at his best, and we've had a few post season moments of luck. I'm not sure we've had them at the same time. That's what it will take.

Do I think Beane and McDermott are the best front office we could have? No. Do I think they have the ability to win multiple Super Bowls? No. Do I think they have the ability to win one Super Bowl? Yes, with a little bit of luck and Allen playing at his best. Do I want Pegula to hire a replacement, seeing all of his previous front office hires across the Bills and Sabres? HELL NO!

Ravens caught a break with the Steelers losing, but that is probably negated by the fact they now need to play the Bengals twice with passable QB play.

That big throw to Higgins on the last drive is a perfect example of that. Higgins wasn’t even open 1-on-1 and Flacco just threw a lollipop up and Higgins adjusted while it was mid-air and ran under it. Literally “Higgins down there somewhere”.

It all seems so arbitrary. I still love to watch though.

I haven't watched a huge number of Aaron Rodgers games (maybe 2 per season), but that interception is the worst throw/decision I've ever seen him make. That is the kind of throw a bad rookie makes. I think the old man needs to get his eyes checked. EDIT: To be clear, I meant the first interception, lol

Maybe Allen should be throwing “on time” within the structure of the offense more. I don’t dispute that (although a lot of these open underneath throws are covered by LBers and will be for < 5 yards). But the fact remains, an NFL WR should be able to get open within 5 seconds in the scramble drill, and our aren’t (because they suck).

I don’t think he slower at all. He just more hesitant to take off, which is OP’s entire point.

If you have a better CB available to start, then sure. Strong is out with a neck injury, Hairston is out with a knee injury, and it’s very possible White is better than Ingram. I’m not sure what you want here.

Allen isn’t a GM, and I’m not sure he would be the best person to make these decisions, so I voted no. He was the one pushing super hard for Dorsey, and we all saw how that worked out.

Palmer and Kincaid are the only players that can get open and catch the ball past 10 yards. So when they were both out after 6 snaps on offense, we were severely limited in what we could do vs Atlanta. No joke, we might need Gabe Davis to suit up and see what he can do. Hopefully he is recovered soon.

Josh Palmer is an okay starter, especially for his cap hit. He plays like a low end WR2. Some more chemistry with Allen will lead to more targets. But the Bills have no WR1. And Palmer is probably more of a WR3 on a team with good WR depth. So we have no WR1, a low end WR2, and a pretty good slot WR. It isn’t surprising when we play good CBs, that these guys get totally shut down.

A little off topic, but I do think Adams will be “promoted” to some senior leadership position in the Sabres soon and relieved of his GM duties.

Pretty sure the LBer is supposed to go over to that zone. Probably why Tre was confused/late to get over there.

I'm pretty sure we could have signed Keenan Allen this offseason. He's on pace for 900 yards and 9 TDs. He has a $3m cap hit. Maybe we can lure Amari Cooper out of retirement.

Even a player like Torrence has a lot of weeks where he is our worst rated offensive lineman. Kincaid hasn't really meaningfully contributed to this team yet as TE1 (although he looks poised to do that this year if he can stay healthy, remains to be seen).

To be honest the situation was basically identical last year. I'm surprised teams didn't do it more. The Texans had us figured out. Maybe most teams don't have corners good enough to execute that (Falcons and Pats have good corners, which we saw the past 2 weeks). Blanket our mediocre boundary WRs with 1-on-1 coverage. Don't worry about doubling anybody. Bring an extra rusher every drop back. Make sure you keep Allen in the pocket and make him throw to one of those guys that isn't open.

Can a sports psychologist bring in a #1 WR?

When you have a high cap hit QB, you really can't strike out on an entire draft.

If you love watching Gabe Davis play for the Bills, then you are in luck. With the way our WR are playing this season, he'll be getting 80% of the snaps by the end of the season.

Hairston Sanders Coleman Bishop Kincaid Torrence Elam Cook Rousseau Basham Epenesa ^ That is 6 seasons worth of 1st and 2nd round picks. Kincaid is decent (probably average for his draft slot). Torrence is up and down, but part of a good unit. Cook is a top-10 back and outplayed his draft spot. Rousseau is okay. The rest are busts, or haven't made an impact yet. That is a really bad drafting track record over 6 years, and it's kind of crazy the Bills have had consistent success with that.
