ESPN article. Glad I'm not a Giants fan. Woof. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43297567/new-york-giants-how-all-went-wrong-2024

Bills 26 Denver 24 I hope it won't be this close and it might be much higher scoring. But Denver has only been blown out once the entire season, and I love the missed extra point angle.

On defense, get them in third and long and disguise the coverage for the rookie QB. Get them in 3 and out mode, which they excel at sometimes. On offense, make them pay for playing man to man. Isolate a WR on the opposite side of Surtain. Crossing stuff and rubs. Get Cook or especially Johnson on a LB and make them pay. Allen can run if everyone is looking at their coverage. Get a blocker on Bonitto for passing downs. If we can get a lead Nix should deliver the turnovers.

I sound like a broken record, but in my opinion the Bills offense was on fire when Coleman and Kincaid were out hurt. I say make Coleman WR4 or 5 in the playoffs. This week the Broncos will play a lot of man to man, which I hope means lots of isolating Cooper on the non-Surtain CB and a bunch of RB targets.

Wow.

Super bass o craptic

Not the first time I've seen Salomon unable to close the deal. Hm.

Pats 13 Bills 11

The prototype LB we need is Edmunds size with someone else's instincts. Bernard was ok before the DL started underachieving. We could use upgrades at many positions, but interior DL is the biggest issue. Hopefully the Carter at 1T experiment will help in the playoffs.

Gilliam has had plenty of snaps. Get him one. Remember a few years ago they tried to tie or break this record and threw a pass to Taiwan Jones? Hands of stone style drop IIRC.

The defense is obviously the weak area of the team, but if they can avoid big plays and produce turnovers, anything is possible. So I'll take hopeful.

Professional catch by Cooper

Look, I know people here don't agree with me, but Coleman ain't that good. This offense was humming when he was hurt. You are welcome to disagree.

He did. Sweet.

Allen is pressing with this pass rush pressure. Meanwhile, all the pieces are falling into place for Cincinnati, which is not good.

Dawkins smoked two plays in a row

Haven't seen him on the field yet now that you mention it

If Epenesa played the Jets every week, he'd be a rich man.

That could have been caught by Coleman, but Allen should have thrown the shorter option.

This defense playing this way is not capable of winning the AFC.

McConkey produced in college at a very high level program. No surprise he produces in the pros.

Just this chart alone is worth the price of admission. Not surprised to see O'Connell and Reid in the upper right. Vikings are a well coached team: see Darnold, Sam. Nice to see Daboll making good decisions. McDermott is about where I'd expect, a bit less than a coin flip success rate and a median number. Small sample size, but I'd bet he's been a little better this year. I hear what you are saying about scraping data. I have a little personal experience with that starting years ago and it can be touchy. I'd bet a paid site would be unhappy at best, I too would steer clear of that here.

Looks very cool. Let us know when you get it hosted. Thanks!

This year it seems like opposing offensive linemen are often getting to the 2nd level to get clean blocks on the LBs more than previous years. So that's on the interior DL. The LBs also seem to be less able to shed blocks.
