I live in Palm Beach County.  All of Florida got a cold snap last night and it is colder right now (61 degrees) than it has been down here in many months.

 

It's a gray, overcast, cold day here by S. FL standards.

 

I'm sure it will still feel hot to guys already used to cold weather in Buffalo though.

 

Not nearly as hot and humid as it could have been however, which might help us some.

 

 


Humidity is usually the killer for visiting teams, so just not being as humid is a plus.

 

And the visiting bench is usually in the sun, so that’s good.

 

Wont mean much if they can’t stop the run tho.

So the Fins will be wearing long sleeves today??

You may laugh but I turned the heat on in my house.  Interior air temp was like 71 degrees when I woke up and that felt very cold to me.

And if they win to go to 7-3 will you still have "concerns?"

 

By the way, "concern" has become the most overused word in the history of this board this season.

 

On the bright side, it has eclipsed McBean.

It means great QBs elevate the level of play of those around them. You’d get greater production out of those “covered” WRs with a better QB.

 

John Brown is having the best season of his career, statistically. I think Allen's strengths are elevating his play. Of course Allen needs to keep improving. But let's not act like he's holding back the talent on this offense.

I wouldn’t laugh. I get it but I will laugh if I see a single Dolphin with long sleeves on..

So is Lee Smith. :thumbdown:

Can someone tape all of Lee’s fingers together on each hand so he can’t possible hold??? Now that’s innovative coaching !

True, Brown is having a career year, despite missing on many other plays. But to think Allen isn’t holding back the offense, based on his play, I don’t know what you’re watching. Every QB leaves plays on the field, but because our receivers have to be open before Allen throws the ball (and even then he doesn’t always throw it) we leave more plays on the field versus those teams who have better QBs. It really can’t be debated.

Yup, I will until his decisions start making sense.

 

I’m also sorry that my concerns concern you.

Why did we bring Yeldon here? And also why wouldn’t you just have kept Murphy if this guy was going to sit every week. We have almost nothing on offense and this guy can catch the ball out of the backfield and be a legitimate 3rd option in the passing game. You are paying a veteran RB to sit every week. It’s senseless

...great.....a "sea of yellow" forthcoming...SMH.............

If he commits multiple penalties today, then he should be benched for the rest of the season.

 

Give Sweeney a chance. Smith can be the motivational locker room guy on the sidelines.

 

Also, I know that Senorise Perry & Patrick DiMarco are Special Teams aces, but can we please give T.J. Yeldon more playing time. I know that he's just an average running back, but he's a damn good receiver. Remember our lone touchdown against the Patriots* this season? He had two big catches on that drive. Let's give our offense all the weapons it has.

Allen's tight window throws are 14.1% of his passes.  That is higher than Bridgewater, Brady, Goff, Garroppolo, Rodgers, Ryan, Flacco, Brees, Mahomes, and Cousins.

 

There I just debated it.

You’re not going to win a debate with the knuckleheads hellbent on proving that Allen sucks.

I hope Josh come out and plays like a man.

This made me laugh out loud.  What does this even mean?

 

Tom Brady basically plays like a little girl, and that seems to have been plenty good enough over the years.

 

We don't need Josh to go Super Hero and kill the opposing team with his bare hands.


I'm just asking that he complete some passes!

Or with math.  That's the real killer.

 

 

Probably not but its all good.  At the end of the day, all I care about is the W/L column not what people say.

Duke Williams not being good enough to make the gameday roster is something people should probably begin to come to terms with.  I trust McD enough to make this call. 

i agree just think they are getting similar skill sets with foster and McKenzie.  Foster ST but McKenzie in the run game, so I look at that as a trade off think Duke would give a better big body WR than Roberts and Duke would help in the run game w blocking

He may or May not be good enough to play in the nfl but with all WRs healthy they have the ability to decide who they want per the game plan. Foster demands more attention from the secondary when lined up with John Brown because of his speed. Duke would not do the same. The

One, where did those numbers come from? And two, what’s his completion percentage in those situations versus other QBs? Allen lacks in timing, touch, anticipation, and field vision, so it’s no coincidence he doesn’t throw his receivers open. That holds back the offense. Nice try at a “debate” though.

They come from nextgenstats, which is an official NFL site.  It's called AGG%.  I have no idea what his or their completion percentage is on those throws.  That wasn't your argument so don't try to change it.  You said Allen would not throw a ball until a receiver was open and that can't really be debated.  I just proved your statement false.  Changing the argument doesn't make your statement correct. Nice try at changing the "debate" though.

I get the Perry thing, but Stanford is basically the only backup LB on the roster...and he's actually pretty solid. There were times last season in which he outplayed Edmunds.

I don’t disagree on Stanford. Just think we need to try something, anything to spark the offense. At all costs. Even at the expense of the special teams.

Actually, it was. If his stats are legit it basically proves you wrong.

I believe Tre White will have a pretty good day also. Got a gut feeling he gets an INT and he will once again make it difficult to pass the ball towards his side.

Funny how when Wallace played so well earlier in the season I began to get hyper-critical over Tre's play.  He was playing well then, of course.  The last 3-4 games he's been amazing.  Cream always rises.

I see you're having a good day so far.

 

way to "pregame pummel" JA before the game gets started. 

 

 

GO BILLS!!!

Could also be the tell tell that WR's are not getting good separation and the Bills still need that stud #1 WR the posters are asking for
