You're arguing semantics. With the way the Bills play cover 1, it mimics a cover 0 as they bring the safety right into the box. I posted a video of a play later in the game where they played almost the exact same coverage. Difference being that they had a shallow safety. Fundamentally, there was no difference other than press man, as the shallow safety wouldn't have been able to be a safety outlet for all 4 receivers anyway. You can run cover 0 in the snow with press man near the goal line, because there isnt tons of field behind you to cover. The field is shrunk and and nd the QB has to get rid of the ball quick. . The difference between the 3rd and 4 play and the play you just quoted, is 2 yards. Two. One was at the 7 yard line, the other at the 5 yard line.

I agree. And the Bills seem to agree as well, since the next time that situation happened, they switched to press man. Video below. I just wonder if it was Frazier who realized it and fixed it, or it McD told him not to ever do that again.

I’m open to that possibility. Thank you.

At midfield, yes. Not at the 7 yard line. There is not much room for the defender to even run past the DB in this part of the field (unless it’s a pylon throw or slot middle). The right call is to play press man and force Burrow to hold onto the ball a second longer. The play call they chose, gift wrapped a first down for Cinci. And the Bills agree with me. How do I know? Well, not much later in the game, the Bills defense were in almost exactly the same position. This time it was 3rd and 5 instead of 3rd and 4. And it was also in the red zone. In almost the exact same situation, the Bills played cover 0 again (or maybe it was cover 1?), but this time with press man. Any guesses as to what happened? Burrow had to hold the ball longer, waiting for his receivers to get separation. In doing so, he got hit by Ed Oliver, and barely was able to throw the ball away.

Then he needs to work on not coming off as phony. I’m not the only person in this thread that feels that way about him.

I wonder if there was 1 year left on his contract and the team offered to pay him to take the year off. Either way, there was no coming back from this.

Same.

Emergency leak? At what age does one stop being able to hold in a pee for hours? I don’t look forward to that.

Have you been to a game in the last few years?

It is not my fault that you didn’t comprehend what I wrote.

No it doesnt.

Wait until 30 minutes before kickoff and you will see the ticket prices start to plummet. You can get club tickets for cheap if you wait until after kickoff (just stand by the gate and refresh your phone).

Well when you only pay a designer $1 per shirt sold, you arent gonna get the best designs haha.

It would be a stronger message if players actually LEFT after doing this stuff. Much of the time, the player ends up re-signing with the team.

You must not know him well then. Del issued a press release (which is self-congratulatory on its own), that they have donated over $1.4M to charities. Which means, by basic math, that his revenue is over $4.5 Million. So yes, he has made millions. It’s not all profit, but his revenue is in the millions.

PS, I find Del Reid to be very phony. Nothing about him feels authentic. Right down to donating of a percentage of shirt costs, which feels more like a marketing ploy than anything else and has garnered him millions of dollars.

This is true. I am Italian. Nana was born on the boat that transported her family from Sicily to New York. They faked the birth once they docked, so she would be American. In the 40's to 60's the Italian mafia in Buffalo was very strong. My great-grandfather would bury two people in a casket. On top was the person who died naturally. Beneath, was the slain. The stories i've heard would keep a person up at night.

What's the point of asking this question? What we answer doesn't change anything. (Just trying out my Big Turk impression whenever someone else starts a thread )

Agreed. The Commanders is a terrible name.

Now that’s a great OP.

One thing i've learned in my decades of watching the NFL is that its impossible to predict the upcoming season. That being said, I find it improbable that the Jets only improve 1 game. Why? Because the Jets lost FIVE games where their defense gave up 20 or less points. Rodgers (Packers) averaged 22 points per game last season. If they have Rodgers led offense of 2022, the Jets would, in theory, have won 5 additional games. That's a big difference.

The o-line? Have to disagree there. Allen was just awful that game. The Jets defense is good. Allen throwing 53% and multiple INT’s. One of the INT’s was under very little pressure too. Just threw it right to the guy.

I don’t get it. You made a list were you make a sarcastic remark about lots of Jets games, several of which where they kept the opposing offense to under 13 points. Their defense is legit and they beat us last year with Zach Wilson at QB.

Brace for the excuses. Homers are incoming :)

Bingo.
