Well, I guess there really are people who like that awful mass-produced pizza.

Uh.... what!?!?! I've watched every single play, from every single Bills game—including the playoffs—at least once on ALL-22, if not multiple times. Furthermore, I have written software that tracks ALL-22 plays and aggregates the data. I can say with almost certainty that I have studied more hours of Bills ALL-22 than anyone on this website (key word: studied, not watched, many people have me beaten in years of watching football). Not only that, i'm pretty sure I am the only poster on this website that aggregates the data for every single player, position, formation, coverage, etc. Someone is spitballing in this conversation but it certainly isnt me. http://34.205.139.226/

I'm thinking that you're not actually reading what I'm writing and simply just skipping to reply. I say this because you're responding with ideas that I have expressed the complete opposite of: 1) I stated that Josh didn't recognize the correct side of the blitz. My exact quote was "Josh was fooled in that he thought they were coming left". If you're reading what im writing, im not sure how you missed that. But I followed it up by saying that it doesn't matter. I talked about how Ryan Fitzpatrick broke the play down and said EVEN IF Allen had made the right recognition before the play, there was nothing he could have done with the personnel he had on the field. So yes, Josh slid the protection the wrong way, but its a moot point because it wouldn't have mattered either way. Unless you think you know more than Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitz said - slide left, right, up, or down - doesn't matter... "this blitz is impossible to pick up with a 5 man protection" 2) I already stated that it wasn't just one play that Brown performed poorly on. I clearly said this. He was beaten routinely in pass protection throughout that game, and for portions of the Ravens game. That was the most important play, of course, but not the only one where he played poorly. There were multiple times in the playoffs where he was beaten like a drum but Allen got the ball off JUST in time to avoid a sack or fumble. Here is one example of that: I find it hard to believe you watched the ALL-22 for the playoff games if you missed Spencer being beaten in pass-pro over and over. He had a great season and he is a good player, but the playoffs were not his finest pass-pro moments.

It's almost like the Chiefs read our tendencies like a book... Karlaftis schooled Spencer on that rep. And Spencer should have known that he needed to protect the bail-out when he saw two free rushers coming to his left. In a nut-shell. Spencer: Saw 2 free rushers to his left - did nothing. Saw Karlaftis beat him to his right (where Allen always bails) - did nothing. He was horrible that rep and horrible for a decent portion of that game in pass pro. As for his run blocking, it's always been good. It was his pass blocking that was an issue. And he resolved much of that issue this year - until the playoffs. I know you've been beating the "Josh was fooled" drum since after the game ended, but I disagreed then and I disagree now. Well, actually, let me back up. I *do* think Josh was fooled in the mind-frame that he thought they were coming left. However, what I disagree with is that it mattered. Ryan Fitzpatirck, who has forgotten more about football than either of us will ever know, stated clearly that Allen had no chance on that play - EVEN IF he had slid protection right. Fitz said that there was simply no way to block what the Chiefs sent with the personnel we had on the field. And I agree with him.

Is worse than abysmal better terminology? Lost in the shuffle of Torrence doing absolutely *nothing* on that fateful 4th and 5, was Spencer Brown getting absolutely WORKED by Karlaftis. Josh scrambling to his right may have actually worked to buy him time away from the 2 free rushers if it wasn't for the fact that Spencer did such a horrible job on Karlaftis on the edge. If Spencer did his job, Allen could have escaped to the edge and bought a second or two more despite the two free rushers. And this doesnt even go into the times he was blown right past by Chris Jones.

You either enjoy eating cardboard or don't know what good pizza tastes like. Please let me help you. Do you live in Western NY? I can give you recommendations to good pizza places.

It is the absolute worst pizza there is. I don't understand how they are still in business. WHO is ordering freaking Dominos???

Spencer Brown flips between underrated and overrated to me. No doubt he was abysmal in the playoffs, but he had a good regular season.

Ya know, I haven't thought about it from that perspective before, but that is a great point. You're correct - Cook was not eligible for a new contract until a month ago.

Nope. Got me there.

My favorite as well. I would have loved a copy/paste of the Viking stadium.

Agree its in the eye of the beholder. Both Tottenham and our new stadium look like toilet bowls to me. Other people must see it too, because I found these pics online of each staidum 🤣

Great post Shaw. I agree with you.

We talking about our new stadium? Or is there another Highmark stadium being built?

Good point. I have no idea how they plan on executing this.

Yeah, that’s what I don’t understand. I get that there is a chip in the ball, but is there a chip in every ball carriers knee pad too? With a pressure sensor to know when the knee is down under a pile?

Obtuse. Just straight up obtuse. The discussion *YOU* responded to, was about the grueality of the play. Or are you arguing with so many people in this thread that you've lost track of what you're arguing? You can have the last word. Your games arent interesting.

"What does "It is the worst play you could ever run" mean in that statement?" Jee, it sure takes a genius to figure that one out. Gonna take a swing at it though... I think... perhaps... it means that its the worst play you could ever run. Uh yeah. No one is arguing that its not effective. The discussion is whether its physically an awful play. The worst there is.

"It is the WORST play you could ever run" (Kelce's words) is not just him answering a question about any old play. He was clearly, blatantly, obviously stating that it is the most horrible play. You're being purposefully obtuse.

Exactly… Why is why it’s especially interesting that he would single this play out as grueling. It means that this play is so grueling that it stands out to him among all the grueling plays there is.

For those doubting that tush push has greater injury potential… Jason Kelce - the originating center of the tush push - said it is a “grueling play” and hated it.

Honestly? Probably the best idea the Jets have had in decades. I said it when Pegula was hired - I wanted him to empty the organization. I didn’t want a single employee left. I know that is not really feasible, but the idea was that I did not want anyone here who has a stench of failure. The only problem with the Jets idea, is that Woody would have to fire himself too.

I'd be shocked if Beane was willing to give Cook anywhere near what he wants. What do you think he would give?

I like Benford.
