Ralonzo

Ran it thought the transmogrifier but it's age-restricted. I wonder why?

I'm not baffled by Cook, Beane thought he had McKissic for the role but got punked by the Comanches. He reached for a substitute. I wonder about taking a better linebacker in the second, and not having to reach for one in the 3rd, and eschewing RB altogether would have led to a better roster since Blackshear looked like he earned the roster spot that Cook was gifted.

Davis' bad wheel means he's not able to run routes at peak level and does not get the separation he had been. Hodgins doesn't have the wheels to get separation to begin with, but where Davis has historically had great hands, Hodgins has elite hands and high-pointing ability. He's just not a thick body type to fight through contact like a Mike Evans nor can he open up with speed like the more angular types like Ceedee Lamb. That's why he's on the PS. If the Bills can find a way to use his stregths as a Big Slot as we saw in preseason he can be productive, I think. Shakir is the first thought to replace Crowder in the slot and should get the first crack at it, but a platoon of quick & shifty, and then big & reliable could work pretty well, rather than 3 very similar guys in Crowder McKenzie and Shakir operating from the same point.

The zone-blocking scheme Kromer likes for inside run isn't working, the Bills have guys who are mobile and athletic but are not physically dominating maulers. They're getting beaten trying to move bodies 1-v-1. Late last year when the Bills got Bates in the lineup and used their high-RAS linemen to advantage with pin-and-pull concepts the running game got going and the Bills O turned into a juggernaut. I hope the coaches are adaptable enough to realize this and not stick to inside zone the same way they stick to running Moss in the inside zone. It's a byproduct of using the "mobile QB" formula of rushing the passer - namely 1) don't go upfield beyond the QB, and 2) don't lock up with blockers, in case the QB takes off you need to be disengaged in order to make the tackle. In that concept, DL sometimes aren't really even trying to get to the QB, just contain him, and try to affect the throw, i.e. jump and get the hands up. Same thing the Bills do against Lamar and Mahomes.

they got to got to got to got to got to got to got to got to got to got to got to got to got to got to got to set him free

Yeah that would break my heart if they choked and went to 2-2

That DB didn't even have to move, did he? Mahomes lobbed it directly at him.

Yikes, Beasley has lost another step that he didn't have.

I'm usually non a fan of Mumbles' crew but they weren't terrible today. The same play that ended a Bills drive when a Raven went through McKenzie just a beat before the ball arrived without a PI flag, that was a mirror image of Poyer arriving just a hair early later in the game that the Ravens fans are freaking out about. So it was a consistent standard there, what's there to cry about? For as many times as the Ravens got away with clocking Allen in the head - and they were making a point of it all game, every time they got near him - Allen lobbied to watch for it. And when the guy came in late at the end, Allen made sure the helmet to the chin snapped his head back. Whether it hit hard, hit soft, or missed, it was set up by all the liberties they were taking all game long. It's annoying how the replay shows are taking that one play of context and smacking their lips and going "ahhh I don't know if that's a penalty" as if that happened on a down where the Ravens would otherwise have gotten a stop without the call. It's disingenuous and meant only to stir up the syrup.

See Emili Play

Ok, it's Dweezil time.

Jack Jones > Mac Jones

Pats snap the ball 3 seconds after the play clock expires and score a TD. LOL

You are what you is.

If the refs miss 5 calls and then finally make the 6th, are you gonna complain about the call they didn't miss?

Does Hamlin know about that Alien Facehugger on top of his head waiting to pounce?

Looked to me like he paused to line up his helmet to Josh's face mask, which the Ravens were doing all game, and Josh had been telling the refs to watch for it. Well they finally saw it. Sucks to be cheap, Ravens.

Good to see preseason Shakir enter the regular season at last. I must admit I'm a little sad that the streak is over. No, not that one... the 20 straight double-digit wins.

Nice try Baltimore!

Ball on the left hash. This is good.

oh !!! did they get the first down? that's ball game. two kneels and a figgie

Ok: play for the field goal with Balitmore getting it back with about 1 minute left and no timeouts, or score the TD, 1:35 with no timeouts.

Baltimore has to take a timeout here for injury.

How was there 2:04 left before the play with the PF, and 2:03 left after it?
