McDermott just recently said that Tre White is finally coming back to form. That's nearly 2 years after his acl injury. It's possible that Von is not back to his normal self until next season.

Agree completely. This feels like a "must win" even though its technically not.

We really need to win this game. I can’t take listening to the Dolphins ball washing (everywhere) much longer.

It’s old enough to get divorced. Perhaps the best Buffalo Bill of all time.

Good dog. Seconded.

Just FYI - DVOA never considers the previous season. They use DAVE Metrics prior to week 5 stats. As Gunner said, DVOA is not representative of a true league wide metric until week 6 at least as DVOA considers 50% of DAVE even at midseason and does not stop using DAVE until after week 13.

Eh, he is an incredibly poor tackler too...

Hamlin is simply not a great player. I think that fact may have gotten lost in the fray because we were (rightfully so) worried for his life and well being. I went into training camp thinking he may be a cut candidate.

Yes but he's coming off of his best game. He played well last Sunday.

Yes...

Correct. DVOA doesn’t even adjust for opponents until after Week 4.

Is it? I disagree. Forget injury for a moment. Think about freshness alone. You don’t see the benefit of our 34 year old pass rusher having less wear and tear from the season on him when he enters the playoffs?

There are no must win games this early in the season, but this game is extremely important. Going down 0-2 in the division and 1-2 in the conference and Miami going to 4-0 with two cupcake teams coming up on their schedule is not a great scenario. I really think we need this W.

Unless something changes with our defensive performance, I don’t see any reason to rush him back. I’m perfectly content with keeping him on PUP until week 8. Starting the 21 day window then and making him active with 4 or so weeks left in the season. We need him for the playoff run.

Bruce Smith called it “embarrassing”. I don’t personally agree but just letting you know there was at least 1 other alumnae that didn’t like it.

That graph makes little sense. How does one have negative seperation? And why are the worst performing CB’s to the axis of the negative separation? Is 0 the mean and separation is plotted at either less than or greater than the mean?

I was thinking just "Bernard" would do.

Bienemy appears to think he still has Mahomes. He called a run play only 4 or 5 times in the first half.

You're right. I redact my skill comment.

Again, I believe you are wrong. Cover 1 does as well.

I disagree. The Commanders motioned into Shotgun split on multiple plays. Bernard was able to recognize this particular direction due to Milano being the Mike.

This is really impressive work by Bernard. Miami called out Milano as the MLB and Bernard instantly recognized the play and direction.

What is so frustrating about Gabe is that he is everything you want in a #2 as far as putting the work in, being a great teammate, having the skills and talent to do the job…. but he will also, without a doubt, drop crucial passes at the worst time. That includes contested balls. NFL receivers need to be able to catch contested balls. The drop in the end zone against Miami last year cost us that game. Other things in the game cost us too - but Gabe’s drop was one of them. That was the difference between the #1 seed and having a bye week, and having to face Cinci round 2.

They could make these an hour long and i’d watch the entire thing.

Allen's numbers being better with play-action is not what is unique about what I posted. What is unique is the massive gap between Allen's non-play-action and play-action numbers. For example... Allen's QB rating goes up 30 points with play-action. Mahomes QB rating goes up only 8 points with play-action. Tuas QB rating goes up 0 points with play-action. Bradys QB rating goes up only 7 points with play-action. Staffords QB rating goes up only 12 points with play-action. Burrows QB rating goes up 0 points with play-action. Watsons QB rating goes up 8 points with play-action. Prescotts QB rating goes up 8 points with play-action. Rodgers QB rating goes up only 13 points with play-action. So yes, QB's typically fare better with play-action, but Allen is extremely unique with HOW MUCH better he is with play-action. A massive, whopping, 30 point difference.
