Honestly Can't Wait For Thursday For Once ***Official TNF Buffalo vs. New England Thread (+4, 44)*** (1 Viewer)

Allen sprained his ankle a little there

 

[BobbyLayne]

The whole surviving the ground rule is dumb. It should just be 2 feet and that's it.

I doubt you’ll get any argument at a FF forum.

It’s been years - it’s a terrible, but somewhat understood rule.

fantasy footballers had a good suggestion - have a football child (age 4-6)

Was that a catch?

Football child: yeah he caught it

After further review, he caught it

Perfect.

Diggs: I’m open every play Josh

and when I’m not I’ll still catch it!

 

[GroveDiesel]

Heck of a catch by Diggs but why the heck didn’t Allen throw to a wide open Knox for the easy first down?

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

That really should have been an INT. Sorry.

What I mean is that Poyer had clear possession, both feet down, and then the ball moved around a little with no serious loss of control. Intuitively, this is a catch. Not a huge deal, but still.

It's not the rule, though.

Horrible rule, and it's very rarely enforced consistently.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Back to the game... STOP running the ball so much Buffalo! Throw it!

 

[Anarchy99]

I’m trying to figure out what happened to WR Tyquan Thornton for NE. He looked great in camp and after he came off of IR. And then evaporated.

I’m not sure I agree. I’m not sure where to find it, but I’m fairly certain they’ve clarified that just because a ball moves doesn’t mean the player loses control. IMO, Poyer never lost control on that, the ball just shifted a bit.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Quess hurt. Oof.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Cook 15.10 in PPR

on my bench

 

[tricky92]

I think we're witnessing a changing of the guard.

I know. This is a general complaint about how the NFL handles stuff like this, not about this game specifically.

 

[Harry Frogfish]

Good looking gal in the Kraft box. What was the name of his favorite massage parlor in Florida? We were just talking about it and nobody can remember.

Al Michaels brining up the great sushi available in that suite was a nice "touch".

 

[GroveDiesel]

Back to the game... STOP running the ball so much Buffalo! Throw it!

I think they’ve been very successful running for the most part. I’d actually like to see them continue so that the Patriots can’t just tee off on the pass rush. Would like to see much more Cook than Singletary though.

 

[BobbyLayne]

they’ve been playing him in different situations over the last month, def trusting him a lot more now

Pats interior line has been average it’s a good strategy to keep running it inside

 

[BobbyLayne]

no way you’re winning press coverage against Diggs

 

[travdogg]

Sheesh. Patriots had 1 possession in the entire 3rd quarter.

Yeah, they have had some good runs. I guess I should have said "stop running on 2nd and 10". I feel like they've done that 4 times for basically no gains.

 

[GroveDiesel]

So guess what, Bobby Hart? Not much better…

 

[travdogg]

Probably much worse.

 

[The Duff Man]

Allen is lucky to be alive with this LT play.

 

[BobbyLayne]

1st Half RB Usage

- James Cook: 44% snaps, 8 carries, 3 targets (80 yards)
- Nyheim Hines: 42% snaps, 2 carries, 2 targets (18 yards)
- Devin Singletary: 37% snaps, 5 carries, 1 target (21 yards)

Cook is averaging 6.3 yards per carry and 10 yards per catch

******************

after 3:

Cook 14-64 & 5-41 (5 targets)
Singletary 8-34 & 0-0 (2 targets)
Hines 2-(-3) & 1-21 (2 targets)

who gets the TD? prolly Josh

 

[travdogg]

Let's get a Singletary TD

 

[Mongidig]

Cook 15.10 in PPR

on my bench

Me too.

I do believe he is now a legit fantasy asset. I‘m a bit concerned with the Hines usage. I way over payed in FAAB last week but I‘m feeling a lot better.

 

[BobbyLayne]

playing Singletary & Bills DT v my Diggs

terrible call there

 

[Mister CIA]

That sequence of events sucked for Josh Allen owners.

 

[travdogg]

Now watch NE have the long, time-consuming TD drive they needed 2 quarters ago.

 

[efactor]

That sequence of events sucked for Josh Allen owners.

Yes it did

Really thought he would get in on the 3rd down run. Oh well

 

[crushedspirit]

New look Bills offense is scary to be honest. They can sustain drives with Allen's legs, and the balance will keep defenses guessing.

Cook 15.10 in PPR

on my bench

Me too.

Hines has 2 carries and 1 target.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Pats when opponents score less than 20:

6-0
(Pickett, Goff, Brissett, Z Wilson, Ehlinger, Z Wilson)

when teams score more than 20:
0-5
(Tua, Lamar, Rodgers. Fields, Cousins)

 

[Mongidig]

They’re playing some good tunes in Foxboro tonight. Old school Motley Crue and Metallica.

TBF that’s a season high since he trade lol

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Has anyone noticed that Poyer is pretty good at football?

 

[travdogg]

4 down territory?

Motley Crue has a good song?

 

[need2know]

Boooooo

 

[GroveDiesel]

Boy. 3rd and 17 and it’s a checkdown when you’re down 17. Rough night for Max Jones.

 

[travdogg]

No idea why they punted. You need 3 scores, you aren't getting 3 possessions if you punt.

 

[The_Man]

What a cowardly punt

Belichick without Brady is who he was as coach in Cleveland. And he knows it and hates it

 

[GroveDiesel]

Has anyone noticed that Poyer is pretty good at football?

He deserves to get paid, just not sure Buffalo can afford to be the team to do it.

 

[The Duff Man]

We

Has anyone noticed that Poyer is pretty good at football?

I wish I had bought a Poyer jersey years ago. What a stud. Not sure what is left in the tank or if he will be a Bill next year but one of the best defensive players the Bills have had.

 

[BobbyLayne]

3 and out (9 yards) punt
5 play 75 yards (48 yard TD screen)
3 and out (3 yards) punt
3 and out (0 yards) punt
3 and out (3 yards) punt
8 plays 29 yards missed FGA
7 plays 36 yards punt
4 plays 18 yards punt

Pats offense is offensive

 

[travdogg]

3rd and 1 seems like a good time to be 10 yards off in coverage

 

[IvanKaramazov]

The fans are not mad about the QB. We're mad about everything else with this offense.

 

[baymen]

A yawner so far, but if it kills a the Pats, I am all in.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Matty Patty calling a helluva offensive game plan tonight

 

[BobbyLayne]

first double digit game for Cook but yeah this is not high octane offense they’ll need to beat the Chiefs next month
