Wil Lutz - Denver Broncos at. Buffalo Bills 11/13/23/

[nervouslywaitingforlife]

Here's some more little sneak peaks of Bera as I was very busy over the weekend and couldn't finish the main drawing I was working on.

[doueverwonder]

Ok so GerAmeLietIta really intrigued me. I'd love to get a better feel for them, can you give us some headcanons or scenarios?

ABSOLUTELY

So anyway, in an rp I have as a side plot (yes you heard me this isn’t even the main plot of the story), but i think it can be kinda universially applied to how they got together.

we had AmeLiet and GerIta, Al and Tolys are married and I don’t even remember Ludwig and Feli’s relationship status but they were together.

anyway; along the way Alfred is like “haha yeah, I had a crush on Ludwig way back in the day” and someone (cough France cough) is like “used to??? USED TO???” bc apparently Al’s crush on Lutz is evident to this day. blah blah blah argument where Al is basically like “I can’t have a crush on someone else, I’m married and I adore the person I’m married too!!” And François goes “PLEASE I’ve been betting on you being polyam for YEARS”

it gets dropped for a few months until; Alfred holds his Christmas party everyone is more than a few drinks in and François can’t help but tell Ludwig about Alfred’s crush.

Alfred spends a few weeks freaking out, and even getting to the point where he tells Tolys about his century old crush. followed by a spurt of “maybe Ludwig was too drunk to remember what François said, maybe it’s fine”

another months or so passes: Ludwig was not too drunk to remember what was said. He just uh, well, he didn’t know what to say. Especially considering he was dealing with the same situation…

eventually Al and Lutz end up on a phone call, for four hours. Talking about the elephant in the room.

After talking to Tolys and Feliciano about it they end up on a date of sorts, all four of them. It's cordial and awkward, until Tolys gets tired of dancing around it leans over to Feliciano and they have this exchange "I hear your husband has a crush on mine" "oh! I heard the same about yours!" Al and Ludwig immediatly go beet red, they were not expecting that, it was so funny to rp.

Anywho, some conversation goes by somehow just stating it made everything go from cordial and awkward to casual and not-so-awkward. We find out there was some miscommuntion and uh, well, Feliciano somehow got the idea that they were entering a swingers arangment and was slightly disappointed to find out otherwise :(

skipping random convos; they're walking back to Alfred's house and Feli decides to make a joke about how he was excited to sleep with someone other than Ludwig; while Lutz is busy being (jokingly) offended Tolys gives Alfred a Look(TM) and they have this whisper convo

A: Are you serious?

L: I won't unless you're okay with it.

A: I guess I don't care?

L: you have to straight out say it's okay or I won't do anything.

A: Yes, it's fine. I really don't mind.

L: you sound hesitant

A: I'm not! I'm surprised! who are you and what have you done with my timid husband???

(heads I am not going through every single convo even if it is technically important)

So, Feliciano and Tolys end up, y'know. Alfred and Ludwig however end up sitting in the living room with their romantic tension, they talk and at some point play chess. It’s lovely.

so anyway, after that the dynamic goes AmeLiet and GerIta are in their original marriages still, Ludwig & Al are dating, Ludwig, And Feli are Tolys’ friends with benefits. (Side note that the running joke is Alfred is super ace and kinda aware of it but doesn’t call himself ace solely cause “I don’t have time for more self discovery rn”)

anyway, they all end up in a relationship with the confessions not even being confessions :\ Ludwig accidentally introduces Tolys as his bf once and is just never corrected. Alfred and Feli just simultaneously start referencing each other as being “my partner” (Feliciano is actually enby no I don’t make the rules). The only actual confession (disregarding GerAme) is LietIta :\\\ it’s very dramatic and comedic they’re standing by a pond under moonlight Feli is like “I have fallen for you, our love shall endure the ages, people will sing of it” “what about Alfred and Ludwig?” “Fuck I forgot about them”

anyway they’re goofy I love them, their favorite movie is 50 first dates they watch it together all the time :)

Hot News B/R Os tempos estão difíceis para o New Orleans Saints, com cinco derrotas consecutivas após um início de 2 a 0, incluindo uma derrota por 33 a 10 para o Denver Broncos na noite de quinta-feira, no primeiro jogo de Sean Payton no Superdome desde que ele deixou o time após a temporada de 2021. O chutador do Broncos, Wil Lutz, que jogou pelo Saints de 2016 a 22, pareceu criticar o…

Broncos' Lutz Trolls Saints Getting Booed by Fans, Alvin Kamara 'Can't Blame Them' | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

B/R Times are tough for the New Orleans Saints with five straight losses after a 2-0 start, including a 33-10 drubbing at the hands of the Denver Broncos on Thursday night in Sean Payton’s first game back at the Superdome since he left the team after the 2021 season. Broncos kicker Wil Lutz, who played for the Saints from 2016 to ’22, seemed to take a dig at New Orleans head coach Dennis Allen…

Rookie Bo Nix strengthens his bid for the Broncos' starting QB job in a 27-2 win over the Packers

Denver (2-0), which got touchdowns from all three QBs, settled for the first of Wil Lutz’s two field goals instead.

DENVER (AP) — Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton isn’t ready to name rookie quarterback Bo Nix his starter just yet. It sure seems it’s just a matter of time, though. “Well listen, he’s played well. I’m not announcing any starting quarterback tonight,” Payton said after Nix made another strong case for the gig when he led Denver to scores on both of his drives in his first NFL start, a 27-2 win…

[nfliplnews]

[ad_1] Photograph: Carolyn Kaster/APAfter an embarrassing loss, heads roll. That’s the way the NFL goes.Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey was the man the Buffalo Bills chose to take the fall after the team’s 24-22 loss to the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football.No matter that Dorsey doesn’t coach the defense that had 12 men on the field at the end of the game, a penalty that gave the Broncos a second chance at their winning field-goal after Wil Lutz missed his first attempt. Or that the Bills’ offense has been fine for much of the season. Or that the offense has had the worst starting field position in the league from weeks five to 10, thanks, largely, to injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Or that Dorsey didn’t call for plays that ended in drops or fumbles, problems that have plagued his group in recent weeks.Related: Deshaun Watson’s Browns career hits new low as QB ruled out for 2023It doesn’t seem to matter, either, that the Bills’ five losses this season have all come in one-possession games, a notoriously unreliable way of judging any team.When times feel desperate, organizations feel the need to do something. And the Bills have been living in desperation mode since their 13-second loss in the playoffs to Kansas City in 2022. It’s why they handed Von Miller an eye-watering contract in free agency in 2022 – and why they murkily parted ways with defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier last offseason, despite Frazier delivering a top-seven unit.When you’re 5-5 in a supposed Super Bowl season, someone has to take the fall.Dorsey shouldn’t be completely absolved of blame, though. Yes, at the time of his firing, Dorsey’s offense ranked third in the league in DVOA, first in success rate, third in EPA per play, third in yards per play, second in third-down conversion % and third in redzone efficiency. Pick your measure, and you will find the Bills in the top-three. But it’s tough to separate the impact of the coach from the individual excellence of Allen; letting Dorsey go is the Bills’ way of saying that the offense performed despite the architecture constructed by its coach.After Dorsey, Allen is next up on the ritual blame-athon. This week kicked off the ‘are we sure he’s good’ phase of Allen’s career, soon to be followed by the traditional ‘why can’t he get it done in the big one’ sequel. What drivel. Allen ranks second in the RBSDM composite, which measures the value of a play and how much the quarterback can be deemed responsible for that value.Still: Yards and fancy metrics don’t win or lose games. Turnovers do.Allen continues to cough the ball up at a league-leading rate. Since 2022, Allen leads the NFL in turnovers, throwing 25 interceptions (the most in the league) and losing eight fumbles (the second-highest mark in the league). But there’s noise in those numbers. Turnover luck is fluky – sometimes a fumbled ball bounces to an opponent, sometimes to a teammate. And Allen has been less reckless this season compared to last year. Last season, PFF deemed 4.2% of Allen’s throws were turnover-worthy. That’s fallen to 2.4% this season, putting him 27th among eligible quarterbacks and better than Patrick Mahomes (3.3%), Jalen Hurts (3.2%), and Lamar Jackson (3%), three frontrunners for MVP.The eye test supports those figures. Allen has curbed his own worst instincts. For much of last year, the Bills’ offense was a chaotic mess. Too often, it was fractured in two, with a bunch of deep threats paired with a get-out-of-jail option underneath, and nothing in between. It was an offense that struggled to challenge all three levels of the field and indulged Allen’s penchant for HeroBall. When defenses figured out how to attack Buffalo’s lopsided set-up, neither Allen nor Dorsey could find solutions that would balance the quarterback’s needs with the coach’s wants.To deal with that, the Bills have ploughed resources into surrounding Allen with talent, reinforcing the offensive line, drafting and trading for multiple backs and dipping into the draft to add a pass catcher. In the most recent draft, they selected tight end Dalton Kincaid in the first round to pair with Pro Bowl tight end Dawson Knox.It was all a part of a broader vision. General manager Brandon Beane wanted to modernize the Bills’ offense. We’re talking positionless football, multiple formations, interchangeable players that can toggle between spots in the formation and create matchup nightmares for opposing defenses.But Beane’s plan missed a couple of crucial points. Firstly, if you’re going to run an offense centered on two tight ends, those tight ends have to be respected as tight ends – and the Bills duo are not.Kincaid and Knox are a pair of wide receivers dressed up in tight end clothing. The point of two tight end sets is for the Bills offense to get big and bully defenses in the run game. That should force their opponents to keep their own big boys on the field to slow down the run. The Bills offense can then split out into passing formations, creating conflicts for the opposing defense. But Kincaid and Knox aren’t good enough blockers to improve the run game – the Bills average a paltry 3.3 yards per carry – and they’re not quick enough to challenge defenses like true wide receivers. And if the opposing defense doesn’t buy that the two tight ends are there to help run the ball, then the Bills are left with two taller, slower receivers on the field versus a defense geared up to stop the pass.Do you know what’s better than a positionless offense where you use tight ends and running backs as pseudo receivers? Having an excellent, reliable second receiver. Outside Stefon Diggs, the Bills do not have a receiver who can consistently win one-on-one. They haven’t selected a receiver during the first three rounds of the draft since 2017. Their free-agent signings have all been whiffs. The ever-frustrating Gabe Davis has been the team’s No 2 option since Cole Beasley was first excommunicated from the team, which feels increasingly like a move designed to have Bills Mafia throw their TVs into Lake Erie.Diggs and Davis lead the team in targets. After that, it’s a free-for-all. Of the 172 targets Allen has distributed to players other than his top two receivers, only 21% have gone to wideouts.Positionless football sounds great in theory. In practice, it’s nice to have specialists when it comes to third-and-must-have-it. The inability to surround Allen with a supplementary receiving corps has led to long periods of frustration in the passing game, with Allen forcing the issue when his receivers are not open. If he’s at his best, the offense chugs along. If not, the Bills turn the ball over. The margin for error is too narrow.There are still reasons for optimism, if you dig far enough. The underlying metrics tell you the Bills offense has been one of the best in the league in spite of its staccato feel. Cut down on critical errors, and more one-score games should tip in Buffalo’s favor. But the team’s upcoming run of games is a gauntlet. Over the next month, the Bills host the Jets and Cowboys and head to Kansas City and Philadelphia. By the time that run is over, they could be 6-9 or worse, with a couple of tricky games left on the schedule.“The clock is ticking,” Allen said this week. He was talking about this Bills season, but he may as well have been talking about the team’s Super Bowl window.Being the face of a franchise means taking the shrapnel for the failings of those around you. Allen’s sloppiness has been an issue, but Buffalo’s problems are bigger than their star quarterback. [ad_2] Source link

Daniel Carlson did what Wil Lutz could not: make all his field goals and point-after attempts. And one can make a valid argument that it made all the difference in the Las Vegas Raiders’ 17-16 win over the Denver Broncos. Oh, and A.J. Cole was his usual self, too.

RAIDERS DERROTAN A BRONCOS

Denver.- Jimmy Garoppolo lanzó dos pases de touchdown a su compañero y nueva incorporación Jacobi Meyers en su debut con Las Vegas y los Raiders arruinaron el debut de Sean Payton como entrenador en jefe de los Broncos de Denver con una victoria por 17-16 este domingo

Los Raiders estiraron a siete su racha de victorias ante rivales en el Oeste de la AFC, pese a la ausencia del defensivo Chandler Jones que está involucrado en una disputa con la oficina principal.

Garoppolo, quien llegó a Las Vegas luego de seis temporadas en San Francisco, y Meyers, quien se unió a los Raiders luego de cuatro temporadas en Nueva Inglaterra, conectaron diez ocasiones para 81 yardas, incluyendo touchdowns para 3 y 6 yardas.

Payton regresó a las líneas laterales luego de un año sabático como comentarista de Fox en gran parte para revivir la carrera del quarterback de los Broncos Russell Wilson que lució mucho mejor que en la temporada pasada. Completó 27 de 34 pases para 177 yardas y dos anotaciones sin intercepciones.

Los equipos especiales de Payton fueron el problema para Denver. Hubo una costosa infracción que anuló una devolución, una patada corta fallida para iniciar el juego, y dos grandes fallos del pateador Wil Lutz, a quien Patyon tuvo durante su estancia en Nueva Orleans.

Game-Changing Trade Alert: Denver Broncos Secure Kicking Sensation Wil Lutz

The Denver Broncos have made a game-changing move, acquiring New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz in a trade that's shaking up the NFL world. Sources close to the team have confirmed that the Broncos traded a 2024 seventh-round pick to the New Orleans Saints to secure the talents of Lutz. This move comes after the Broncos released Brandon McManus earlier in May, and their search for a reliable kicker seemed uncertain with Elliott Fry and Brett Maher vying for the position during training camp. However, fate took an unexpected turn as Fry faced an unfortunate injury, leading to his waiver. Maher stepped up, finishing the preseason as the sole contender for the kicking role. His preseason performance saw him make 4 out of 6 field goal attempts, but a 52-yard attempt was frustratingly blocked in the opener against the Arizona Cardinals. Lutz, expressing his gratitude on Instagram, bid farewell to New Orleans with a heartfelt message, acknowledging the city where he spent the best seven years of his life. His excitement to join the Broncos is palpable, raising expectations for his impact on the team. Saints head coach Sean Payton had a strategic approach to the kicker situation, waiting to see how the roster cuts across the league would unfold. Lutz's name was in the mix, as Payton had expressed interest in monitoring various kicking battles. At 29 years old, Lutz has been a significant presence on the Saints' roster for five seasons under Payton's guidance. While he missed the 2021 NFL season due to injury, Lutz's performance dipped in the previous season, hitting 23 out of 31 field goal attempts (74.2%), the lowest of his career. However, he boasts a standout 2019 season, earning his sole Pro Bowl appearance with an impressive 32 out of 36 field goal conversions, including a remarkable 16 out of 20 attempts from 40 yards or more. The trade signifies a fresh chapter for Lutz and the Broncos. Meanwhile, the Saints are putting their faith in rookie kicker Blake Grupe, whose spectacular 59-yard field goal in practice turned heads. He showcased his skills during the preseason, taking on key kicking duties against the Houston Texans. With this significant move, the Broncos are set to redefine their kicking game, and NFL enthusiasts are watching with bated breath to see how Lutz's arrival impacts the team's performance. The news of this trade was initially reported by NFL Network, sending ripples of excitement throughout the league. In a twist of fate, the Broncos have secured a seasoned kicker who's ready to make his mark on the field and help the team strive for excellence. Read the full article
