ok, so why has rus fallen off so so badly? also, how is denver's d so good? anyone have insight?

they have got it like partially modelled i think. certain specific things they call because they've had it emphasized. the arm around the back w the other arm in the front, they call that arm around the back if it has ANY impact on the play at all, often even if it happens concurrently w the ball getting to the WR. since they seem to have all been told "face guarding isn't illegal in the nfl" they seem to ignore some but not all of the guy getting there early to cover the wr while not looking back to the ball. conversely, if the guy does get his head around, he can more or less mug the wr and get away w it. this stuff, just like the pick play/illegal man downfield and catch rules seem to change based on the context. in the end zone, on the sidelines, and where it is on the field all seems to change the rule. needs a clean up IMO

4-3 would likely help the run d, but would hurt the pass d a ton. we'd take our nickle corner of the field. now our nickle corner has been really good in the past and is having a kinda crappy season this year, but the LBs we have behind our two starters are cheeks. we only go 4-3 when the opponents go heavy jumbo and even throw an extra lineman on the pitch.

i didn't post for a long time and came back to post after we drafted him that JA17 is FavrElway. That might have been the greatest moment in my posting career.

i think he gets 15-17 id pay that

last season i figured he'd play out the year and we'd know if he's a keeper or not. imo (at the time at least) he was not. now the bills extended him, so i suppose the fo wanted another year to evaluate. he's been a total savage this season. the thing is that it coincides w our DL getting a huge overall upgrade, especially IMO with respect to physical size and strength. the big issue w our D when it comes to making decisions on how to pay is that we rely on the DL more than maybe any other D in the nfl to be a bunch of psychotic vikings, but in order to do so we rest them a lot and have a rotation. that ties up a lot of capital. edmunds is one of very few players we keep on the pitch for every snap, so i think he's gonna get a solid contract. we will have to replace quite a few players w draft picks, and at least one of oliver and poyer are gonna get that treatment, sadly.

dow joneser!!

that is a really messed up situation. great result. given we dropped two prior to all of this, in heartbreaking lame snatching defeat from the jaws of victory style, i'd say this is a good bounce back gut check.

You got that right. I was thinking maybe we qb sneak it, but the middle of our line basically blew them up and motor hat a stroll

We CANNOT lose two blockers on one play.

Garbage punt, net of what, 19 yards, and the punter got clobbered and no flag?

10 mate, not 7

Man, I really want a td for us here to start closing this one out

So first half story has been steady bills o, and bills d dominating except for one fluke play after New England fumbled the ball (2md time in the night) the play before.

He really is the human version of a nilla wafer that's had the flavor removed

That was three bad Allen plays on a string

Bro, 49 needs to put his Lowe's vest on because he's bringing lumber

So really good taking what the d gives drive, maybe left a little on the table. That td pass by Allen was a literal joke. If that happens in a video game is groan. Guy's one of one.

I was mad too, but cmon guys, we stopped em and got the ball at mid field. Good job by the d

We mixed up formations, big run out of a jumbo, two ribs and Josh goes for a first up the gut, then this lame run on the redzone. We seem to falla apart in deep

the real problem is we have 2 bonnafide scare you playmakers on O, allen and diggs. we might have some decent guys elsewhere, but i think it's clear we need at least one more way to hurt teams, and speed is the biggest thing missing. i really hope cook and hines can increase the RB position productivity, because unless we got OBJ i don't see where the speed and big play ability is gonna come from.

I think he extended drives and made the D cover underneath stuff. im just trying to express how what we have behind diggs and davis at wr is so utterly trash that having almost anyone (crowder being like JAG+) to stick in improves our O non linearly.

i really think he's the "hidden MVP" in that he had an outsized value to the team vs how visible he was.

He's what, the 8th DB on the team, 4th or 5th corner? He's not a starter, he's not even a JAG.

He's been in his own head about passing, it's lead to the turnovers. He's still a magician running a d avoiding the sack. Our OL is hot dirty cheeks. His elbow is hurt, but I'm convinced he simply needs time and it's good in the third. It's bad to start and in the start of the 3rd because it's cold.
