I've noticed this in other Hard Knocks seasons - there always seems to be a coach at some level that seems to be trying to drop F bombs every other word to show some kind of toughness or something, but it usually backfires to me to just make them look stupid

One of the things that influenced my opinion of him was a while back someone posted a podcast called the Playcallers that talked about the kyle shanahan/ mcvay tree. They had interview snippets from a bunch of guys that were in that world. Whenever McDaniel was on there to me he was a real douche - trying to take credit for stuff and slyly throwing shade at the others

I've always said that about him - the quirky word-salad nerd stuff plays when things are going great - but when things are tough are players really going to look at that and think this guy is a great leader of men I've been purposely avoiding watching this Dolphin version hard knocks - but I'll defnitely check out this week's

And just now on GMFB Schraeger exclaims "TWICE interception in the redzone from Josh Allen!" "Allen looked sloppy on these passes!" etc etc NVM the second wasn't even in the RZ - who is really sloppy in their job

Pretty sure I'm 1265 yrs old in Bills years

I remember Taron's rookie season he hurt his shoulder the first game - and kept playing througout the year and flying around like a missle until he would inevitably have to come out of a game with his arm hanging by his side - then unbelievably show back up again. Eventually they shut him down for surgery with 4 games left - he was playing the whole time with a torn labrum. Not sure I've ever been more impressed by a player playing through injury.

Have a feeling there's going to be a lot of yellow and black in the stands

So many still pushing the lazy Josh turnover narrative citing 2 ints with no context Had respect for those that recognized or corrected that the 2nd was just trying to make something out of nothing on a 4th down after the play broke down, and actually resulted in better field position

You mean this board after a loss? - or after a win with low "style points" 😛

But he puts people in motion Wonder if all the media who've been bowing to the quirky greasy innovative genius are going to start to change their takes

Great play with the fake

Sugar high tua

Only saw the title page - "Bills by a Billion"

I was getting physically sick as it looked like they were choking the game away. OMFG such a relief now to be able to watch the game tonight and just go for the division

VRABEL - you magnificent Meat-Headed Bastard!

Oh fer christ sakes

All these crazy trick/misdirection plays are seting them up to pound King Henry once the D can't sell out for the run worrying about more nonsense coming

LFG

That was a cool play

I'm in the camp that if they know they are in, they can play free and just go for the 2nd seed, which is motivation enough. I don't think the extra pressure of knowing you lose you go home is more of a positive personally

Yeah - sitting Waddle and Mostert to be a 100% for playoffs has a potential benefit today of a "next man up / everyone step up" mentality while providing additional excuse/rationalizing if they lose - "it's OK we were missing so many key pieces - we will be OK for the playoffs when we get people back"

What if I'm emotionally soft? 😛

So the state of my short term mental health is in the hands of... a Meat Head. fml

There was a good video someone posted a while back that broke down Philly's version tush push. The key to the whole thing was not the push, but rather the three person wedge the left three OL made at the snap, outside guys pinning their shoulder pads to the middle guy and them all moving as one. You could outlaw the push and I don't think it would affect the success of the Philly version hardly at all
