Game Thread: WEEK 18 SUNDAY EDITION

[shopson67]

The Falcons are interested in Bill Belichick.

Arthur Smith going out shouting and cussing, lol. The fantasy football world rejoices!

I'm calling it now. Next season Dallas ends the NFCE NO-REPEAT weekend bullshit.

Something bizarre will happen. Wash or Giants will rebuild and surprise maybe? Or more likely Philly and Dallas trade places.

 

[shopson67]

Tua is what people say Purdy is. A QB who looks great in a system with Hill and Waddle.

He's best when he can get the ball on quick, still a 1 or 2 read QB really.

 

[shopson67]

Long way to go but could the Bills knock off the Ravens in a couple weeks?

Bills defensive injuries could be a problem. They're going to need guys like Douglas and Dodson to make a quick rebound to hold up in the playoffs. Keeping Lamar in check with backup LBs will be tough.

 

[shopson67]

Not the way Allen is playing. A good team like Baltimore would take advantage of the mistakes.

Hopefully the team gets a bit more even keeled and not so amped up like they were last night. Overpursuit on defense and that awful 1st INT really disarmed what could've been a strong start. The other two TOs weren't great, but nothing out of the norm for any Sunday. That 2nd INT was actually a bad decision by the Dolphins DB, since they lost 15 yards as it was 4th down (didn't hurt them though, as they drove for a TD).

Allen was still a huge part of the reason the Bills won last night. Some key runs to keep drives moving and some great throws (and some bad ones of course, missing Diggs for a deep TD was ugly in addition to the 2 INTs).

Aren't the Packers 9-8...

Whoops, yes

 

[shopson67]

Miami just plain sucks. The lose to the Titans set up their failure this season.

Bills have owned them in recent years. Other than the 2 point loss in the heat stroke game in Sept 2022, the Bills have won 12 of the last 13 matchups going back thru 12/30/18.

Yep, I remember the 20 straight W's the Fins ripped off in the 70's vs the Bills. This time Fins and Tua are the Bills little bitches.

It made no sense to me that the Dolphins were killing the Bills with the run. How many of Achane's 12 runs happened in the 2nd half? That is criminal mismanagement.

Agree, for one reason or another, McDaniel likes to stop doing what is working, I think they had 3 rushes in the 2nd half after averaging over 5 per carry in 1st half. I really don't get the offensive genius of McDaniel ???

Perhaps, but a lot of people would have predicted the Eagles would do it this year.

THEY DID

now the wind changed direction cause they played ALL the scheduled games.

Some of the younger coaches remind me of Madden geniuses. I wonder if he's actually paying attention to the game and instead is just calling his favorite plays cuz they're his favorites. Makes no sense to me.

After my championship season in a money league I was thinking no way I am keeping Bijan (one keeper league). I am rejoicing

He gets to work with speed, speed and more speed but he can't beat the best teams. He is far from an offensive genius, he is just blessed with an offense. His playcalling is nothing special

McVay falls into that, but the emergence of a real running game has tempered that as he begrudgingly calls runs more often.

I haven't looked at this thread yet so apologies if this was posted

 

[Stlducks]

Shanahan does that too. If it is a close game, he likes to abandon the run. So frustrating.

Yep. Shanny's offense will have Kittle make huge plays for a few weeks and then he'll disappear from the offense for a month. The running game will get going in the first half, but you'd never know it from all the pass-first offense in the second half. It's weird. These offensive geniuses get too far into their head.

No, I have a freezer. It's called Mother of Meat! my bad
