Look at the arm arrogance on Kermit.

I didn't believe it, but it's not removed yet...

Pretty much the entire cast of the show Oz now hucks insurance. Except Adibisi. Can you imagine how that would go, "buy my insurance or **** my ****."

This is my niece, Lacey Underalls.

We’re live with OC Ken Dorsey as he meets with the media at Two Bills Drive.

Oliver got a leg but it still had marks from where the jockey was hitting it.

Disagree. They've run that RPO fire slant all season and defenses have adapted over time. At first it worked well, then it would get covered by the DB, then the DL would know to get an arm up to bat it, and finally it resulted in a turnover. You could see this coming week-over-week because the play apparently has an obvious key that defenses have located to know when it's coming.

Yesterday's red zone turnover was 95% stale playcalling and 5% Allen. It makes me want to revisit the other seemingly inexplicable red zone mistakes to see how much of this is tipped off by Dorsey calling stuff that there is copious film study on how to stop it, and failing to adjust during weekly game planning. "Ah screw it, it worked against the Titans, run it again" Edit: That's for the actual interception. The "almost interception" is 100% on the rookie and frankly superior execution by Allen that it wasn't an actual interception. The last one I can think was conclusively all on Allen was the one he tried to turf that got scooped vs GB 2nd half. I think there's a heavy setup-to-fail scheme component to a lot of the rest.

It is for humans, not creatures

That's not what happened. Cook released and was crossing shallow toward a hole in the zone aligned with a gap in the line. Just as Cook was about to arrive at that hole which is where he should have sat done, he stopped and hopped back the other way. It's actually a major credit to Allen that the ball he threw ended up being not interceptable even though Cook made no play at all on it. That'll get picked 80%+ of the time in the NFL but because of how Allen placed the throw toward where Cook's belt should have been and with the over the top angel, the throw managed to turf before that could happen. I was thinking at the time, that seemed lucky but was actually a great instance of "my guy or nobody." That watchband and what it's attached to are going to haunt my fever dreams.

Tony Romo is that you? I said that same things the first 20 or 25 times it happened yesterday.

Just to follow on, what the OC's job is, is to design plays to make the defense hesitate with eye candy, or iso a defender to put in conflict and let that dictate where the play goes. It seems like the keys to Dorsey's kingdom (don't get me started on Frazier) are out. Defenders know from film what their key is and what to do. Receivers aren't getting open, screens are obvious and get blown up. That's scheme.

There may be a component of that but even before the injury, the basic plays were still the basic plays and weren't being built on like the Kelly-era Bills used to do. Starting with a basic play, and run it with success, but then have some variations from the same grouping and formation, like a motion counter-trey handoff, that later in the game they would play-action out of, and later still run the end-around to Reed from the motion. Even in the Minny and Jets game - and this may lead into why Josh is hurt in the first place - the defense knows exactly what's coming based on the personnel and formation, and there's no variation. Teams have been catching up week over week, these red-zone woes have been happening long before the elbow. Patrick Peterson alluded to it, and we saw it again yesterday with the RPO fire slant. It worked early in the season, then the corner started pasting the receiver, then the lineman starting the quick arms-up on that motion for deflections, and finally yesterday it was a turnover. It doesn't matter how good your players are if the defense knows the upcoming play, usually.

"Patriots get a break from the refs" "Patriots get a break from the refs" "Patriots get a break from the refs" I'm beginning to see a pattern.

Where was preseason MVP Bobby Hart?

Detroit TO at 0:07?

Oh noes, right hash.

What do you call a Hail Mary that only gets 12 feet off the ground?

Makes sense, Badgley knows the tricky winds in that stadium, Bass doesn't.

I am shocked the Lions threw right at budding superstar Dane Jackson who will someday be one of the best players in the league.

Wait, we can turn back time now? Is that Cher or Dan Campbell?

The Bills D plan usually involves identifying the best opposing player, and taking him completely out of the defensive game plan.
