NFL Playoffs

Those conditions whew wee. Not sure LA can score by throwing and running it with mr fumbles

Interesting, never thought about it until just now, but these new kickoff rules could really screw teams over in a snow game like this if the kicker just isn't physically able to get a proper run up, plant, and kick to get it to the landing zone.

Yeah, you can't eat up that much cap for a guy who isn't a legit MVP candidate.

There will only likely be 10-15 of those guys in the league at a given time. 

There are 16 currently at $40 mil or more AAV.

Jalen Hurts is so good at breaking one long run a game and handing off to Barkley the rest of the time.

Snow picked up just in time for Philly. 

Jalen Hurts is just a guy.

Hes pointing out it lets them key on Henry more.

The Bills were the 9th best rushing team this year

Lamar had 915 yards rushing this year and is anything but a power runner (what you need in the snow) who's running game is 100% predicated on his speed and ability to cut and make defenders miss.

In no way are the Bills more affected by a snow game than the Ravens are because of what it does to Lamar's threat to run.

agree to disagree man, not gonna bother continuing to go back and forth

love this weather so much. great chaotic snow game

[flagfootballcoach28]

Zach Baun would be a good signing. He’s a FA.

I said that in my other post, that yes, it does help Henry because of his power game.  

But removing Lamar's running threat hurts them on the whole more than they're helped by Henry's power running game.  Especially since it then allows the Bills to really focus on Henry and don't need to worry about Lamar quite as much because the snow would slow him down.

It basically means the Bills would no longer need to spy Lamar and it gives them an extra man in the box to focus on stopping Henry.

Like I said before, it's a net negative even though there is one positive for them with Henry in the snow.

While at the same time, the snow probably also helps the Bills running game more, because good luck tackling Allen in those conditions when he runs too.  So if it adds to the threat of Allen running but hurts Lamar's running threat, it's another net positive for the Bills.

Exactly. A lot of these teams are handicapping themselves tying up way too much cap space into QBs that aren't good enough to justify it. You're better off building up a better roster around a guy on a rookie deal.

[Captain Morgan]

boom there we go.  I hate Philly but our 2nd rd pick is the Rams...we need them to lose

[LinvilleGorge]

Good grief. The Rams just absolutely cannot hang onto the football right now. The whole damn team is fumbling and/or dropping passes.

[t96]

Rams just can't hold onto the ball, has absolutely killed them and is inexcusable even in the snow. I guess hold them to a FG now and they still have a chance but I can't see the Rams getting a TD at this point.
