2023 NFL Game Thread - Week 18

SPEED kills BUF

Ruxin is a god

Achane is a real beauty.

F U JAX

****ing this

Power Zone is so much fun. That motion away tightening that edge LB because he knows that they like to pull a front side guard there. Dolphins fake that pull and get an easy hook block from the wideout and now you have 2 open seams. Achane shows strong vision to hit the wider of the 2 seams to allow for better angles downfield.

McDaniel turning the run game into a positive playcall on most downs is such an incredible change to the offensive game.

I still have a hard time believing the jags started 6-2 and couldn’t win the south

diggs just setting up the third pick in the endzone

Holy **** diggs

Here come the Bills!

I miss our trio of Bills fans.

that's a 3rd pick against a better cb

Diggs ain't all that bad.

LOL WTF

amazing!

LOLTD

Literally the only way red zone Jawsh can get a td

LOLOL

Variance has been on the Bills side for 7 weeks; They are running white hot.

He can run them in OK.

Alright guys. Since that advert showed up I’ve agreed to Paris during my honeymoon. It appears the timing coincides with the Olympics

How much should I hate myself for this concession?

A lot.

Too many injuries stacked in key positions. Starting practice squad level players at DB positions for a few weeks to have guys come back early that weren't ready to play. Not having legs under you leads to missed tackles which is what was a huge part of their failures over the past few weeks. Yards after first Contact and yards after Clear Contact were very poor.

Trevor is not developing or his ceiling is that of a 20-25 QB in the NFL. I believe Press Taylor maybe relieved of his duties tomorrow or later this week and Pederson will bring up an OC he can develop himself while he takes a more clear role over the offense.

I don't think it's an entire revamp of the roster or the front office. Baalke definitely has improved over the years and is a more mature version of himself from a decade ago. With that said his middle to late round selections leave a lot to be desired and I believe that has to do with Khan's inability to adapt to the modern NFL's scouting style and sticking to an outdated analytical team that his son created years ago. It was solid when it first started but it quickly has become obsolete and it is showing.

They need a true X receiver. Ridley will have potential on a roster, it's probably not this one. Kirk is the true key to the Taylor/Pederson offense. They rely on a Z receiver that can move a bit. Pederson has shown that he may have the best Y receiver scheme in the NFL though. Engram is completely breaking down defenses and is likey to take a huge stride next season based on how he has come along to end this one.

That's about all I have to talk about that team. There's a log of defensive things I could point out. But you can't play hurt in the NFL and health impacts a ton. Depth is important but there is also a small roster and depth doesn't exist for any NFL team after a certain point. This is especially true on OL and DB. There just isn't enough OL/DB talent in the NFL or in college football. It's just not being developed below so its becoming increasingly harder to find depth there.

MIA slicing and dicing this M*A*S*H unit of a defense

House fire? What house fire. Kids will be kids. It's hard to watch all of 'em all of the time.
