    Watching the Defense lose its 1st, 3rd, and 4th most important players in a span of two weeks is a real letdown for this team's Super Bowl aspirations...hopefully they can stitch together a serviceable enough D with the players remaining to allow Josh Allen and the Offense to win games in a "shoot-out" fashion. 

     

    Okay, I'll bite: who's #2, and when should we expect to see them go down in a pile with a ruptured spleen?

    This is great thank you!

     

    The spacing point is a bit concerning.  I wonder if that is  a product of Dorsey’s design or guys just not understanding where they are supposed to be? 

     

    I get the sense that it's the latter. I do believe (perhaps moreso than others) that Dorsey knows what he's doing with play design. The execution is what seems to be getting in the way. Perhaps that's a reflection of how complicated the offensive design is, I don't know. But there are times when some of the newer guys don't seem to know where they're supposed to be.

     

    It may also be a reflection of why it took Harty so long to get on the field as anything other than a gadget player.

    In short, she's awesome and does an excellent job.  Listening on One Bills Live with Tasker and she is knowledgable, super articulate in a classic DeeJay kind of way and passionate about sports and the Bill as Harry Cary used to say.  

    The Bills are lucky to have her, hope she stays but probably won't.  ESPN for sure.  

     

    This seems suspiciously like a Maddy Glab TBD burner account…

  4. Always.

     

    What a lot of people don’t remember is that, in the AFCC game right before the Super Bowl (the 51-3 game), Norwood actually tried and missed a 47-yard FG…wide right.

     

    EDIT: Correction, it was a 45-yard FG, but it was almost exactly the same amount wide right as the infamous kick.

    That's a weird chart. I'd think someone like Leodis McKelvin would have been toppest rightest. Nobody gets separation, but they throw at him anyway because he can't find the ball.

     

    J.C.Jackson bottomest leftest. Everyone's open but nobody throws at him? Wut? Levi Wallace also in that neighborhood.

     

    I don't know, but the higher number on the Y-axis (target %) is at the bottom, which would suggest the lower on that axis you are, the more you're targeted.

     

    So JC Jackson is targeted a lot and allows more separation...?

    Continuing with my weekly thread of posting old Bills games against upcoming opponents where we are playing them the coming week. I am going with the Jaguars at Bills from 1998. Obviously, this upcoming game is in London and not in Buffalo but it is a "home" game for the Bills so, this is the one the one to go with. This may be the best Jags vs Bills games in the existence of games vs these 2 teams as we have had some nightmare games against the Jaguars for whatever reason. This Bills game into this game at 2-3 on a 2 game win streak after an 0-3 start. The Jags came in at 5-0 and were hot to start the season. This was Doug Flutie's first ever start as a Bill taking over for Rob Johnson who got hurt the week before and we all remember how this one ends...a Flutie bootleg TD run on 4th and goal from the 1 yard line. A great game sealing moment in Bills history. If you have any memories or you were there to experience that last TD in person, feel free to post. But here it is. Sit back and enjoy and as always......Go Bills!!!

     

     

     

    Is it just me or does this video actually end right before the final drive starts? WTH?

     

  7. Sure, it would be awesome if Kincaid were ripping it up this early in the season and his career. The way I see it, our coaches are taking the long view.

     

    Just like OCs design strategies and run plays early in a game in order to set things up for later in the game, they also design strategies to develop players (and schemes) over the entire season. We have a complex, complicated offense that takes players a while to integrate. For rookies, even more so. Seems to me that Dorsey is introducing new concepts into the offense with two TEs, giving Kincaid bits and pieces to start with and building his confidence slowly over several games. Even now, Kincaid has occasional struggles with what he is assigned, so it’s a slow process.

     

    I sense the goal is to reach the second half/last quarter of the season with Kincaid gradually doing more and more and really opening things up for the offense in ways that other teams will not have seen and won’t have on film.

     

    And next year…

  8. I was at the game yesterday, and my voice is barely functional today. I don't recall screaming and yelling more at any game in my life. A couple times I was yelling so hard I started getting dizzy. It was LOUD.

     

    There were Dolphins fans there, but nothing like you'd see with some other teams like the Steelers. I don't recall hearing them much at all during the game, even in the first quarter.

     

    In the 4th quarter, up 28, I wanted to keep yelling to stick it to them but could barely do it from being so tired out. Fun stuff.
