MONDAY NIGHT game thread Buffalo vs NEW York

You could get respect of you "borrow' the LS10 and have it painted brown and chartreuse.
I guess respect is only as valid as those who give it.
 
We are alike in this.

Yes, as in LIFE it is good that we pass one another. Great Warriors should meet in life and pave the way
for all the “Cake-Eaters” who have not a clue…………..

There wasn’t a lot of runs so I really don’t want to grade their run blocking. Pass blocking KP had time usually and a clean pocket. Some of those sacks/hits were on him.
First 9 offensive plays told the story. After that they were down 17 points and the game was essentially over.

1st series - 6 yard pass, jet f'n sweep, sack after pocket collapsed

2nd series - Najee run which Warner blew up, 7 yard pass to CA III, INT (couldn't step into throw because of pressure, DJ slips) ill advised throw

3rd series - roll out pass complete to Robinson (immediate pressure from 54 unblocked), Najee no gain, misfire to DJ.

First 9 plays 3 runs for minus yardage, sack, untouched blitz pressure, INT. Down 17-0. Kenny becomes a 2nd year QB again against the best defense in the league. Kind of like Ben in his first Super Bowl. Sometimes it's the moment.

I know it's a lot of excuses but I'm hoping.

2nd Series - Kenny Pickett with 3.3 seconds to throw and did step into the throw. He threw it to a covered receiver to either a bad spot or a just inaccurate throw. Now two things, DJ raised his hand at the 5 yard mark. Not sure if he was saying he was going to be open or just fighting off the defender. But he was definitely covered. The correct throw was Freiermuth on the flat route for about 3-4 yards. He should have pushed the route up further but he also only has one guy to push past for the extra yard for the first down. That was 110% Kenny's fault.

I will have to watch the other series at home as youtube only has a few. I will say this on that 2nd and 15 in the 2nd quarter at 13:11 Moore got beat. Pickett had less than two second to throw. He ended up rushing and throwing behind A-Rob which was almost an interception. That was not on Pickett. I mean the throw should have been safer or eat it but I will say that was a play where Moore got beat and beat badly.

3rd an 6 in the 2nd with 7:05 PIckett makes the correct read. It is a tight window but he has Freiermuth for the 1st down but he misses. It is a clean pocket and he misfires. Now maybe it was because he was throwing into a tight space. Well, Washington was WIDE open 5 yards deep on a curl and at his size if he can turn up field he falls forward for the extra yard. I don't blame Kenny for picking Pat on that throw because he was past the sticks. In fact I like that he pushed it to the guy who would definitely move the chains. My problem is he was very inaccurate.

3rd and 3 in the 2nd with :42 on the clock. DJ fakes left and slants up and right and faked his guy out and Fred Warner cleared the middle looks like chasing Heyward on a flat. If Pickett leads DJ it is an easy TD. If he sticks it in his chest it is almost certainly a td. He threw low and behind for an incomplete. Again, that is an obvious accuracy issue.

3rd and 4 in the 3rd with 5:58. Pickett again with a clean pocket. He has 2.5 seconds and no one is even close to getting off their block. Moore stuffs Bose and Chuks has his guy secured and the middle hasn't given up anything. Pickett could have waited another second or two. Now I can't see the entire field so I don't know a lot but I see Najee singled up on a LB running up the sideline and I see CA3 given lots of space on the outside and he was running a curl. Both are past the sticks and Najee has a potential TD as it looks like the safety has his eyes and body facing the LOS and CA3 should of had an easy first down. Instead he throws 2 yards to A-Rob and then throws behind him. Now that could be KP thinking A-Rob is going to sit but in that situation in front of the sticks A-Rob probably isn't expecting the ball and certainly doesn't want to sit in front of the sticks surrounded by 3 defenders. It was both bad read and bad throw.

And as someone stating above Purdy was pressured and under duress way more than Pickett. He just sees the field better and is more accurate.
