As the Buffalo Bills prepare to face a new opponen

[panxing18]

t each week Cheap Dion Dawkins Jersey , fans take on the age-old arch-nemesis know as “hunger.” Never fear, Buffalo Rumblings has just the playbook to take down this foe. Each week, we’ll dive into enemy territory to scout their signature moves and put a “Buffalo” spin on it. Translated, each week we’ll share a themed recipe based on who the Bills are playing, including a custom wing sauce to go with each dish. Our opponent this week:Houston TexansWhiskey BBQ Glazed Ribs: I know, I know. Two weeks in a row with BBQ. This week really ups the ante for home cookin’ though, and between the two recipes you’ll be be able to start customizing and wingin’ it all on your own. Before you know it, you’ll be forcing co-workers to sample your latest creation. This week we borrow some Texas style(s) and give them the Western New York twist. Texas purists, try not to faint when I mix and match BBQ elements according to nothing more than my whims. Glazed RibsServes 3-4Active Time: 2 HoursTotal Time:4 Hours 30 MinutesIngredients:1 rack of pork ribs1 Tbsp garlic powder1鈦? teaspoon salt2 teaspoons black pepper2 teaspoons paprika2 Tbsp butter1鈦? cup finely chopped onion1 cup whiskey1鈦? cup apple cider vinegar1鈦? cup hot sauce1 1鈦? cups ketchup3鈦? cup molassesPrepare RibsTear off a piece of aluminum foil that’s a little longer than the ribs. Crinkle the edges up and place the rack on the foil, meatier side down.Unless you’re buying from a butcher, there’s likely a thin membrane on the bonier side of the ribs that needs to be removed. From one of the edges, pop a knife under the membrane only (if you get a tiny bit of meat too don’t worry). Once you have a small edge lifted, the rest should peel like a huge sheet of tape. It’s pretty cool.Dry RubCombine the garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika* in a small bowl.Pat the mixture all over both sides of the ribs, with a little more attention to the meatier side. Let sit for at least an hour, which should give plenty of time to make the sauce. While sitting Cheap Shaq Lawson Jersey , the ribs should be refrigerated.SauceMelt butter in a large pot on HIGH and add onions; cook, stirring onions until translucent, 1-2 min.Add cider vinegar and whiskey; stir, letting the mixture simmer.Add ketchup and hot sauce. Stir and allow to simmer again.Add molasses; stir and allow to simmer. Reduce heat to LOW.Allow the sauce to thicken; stirring occasionally for at least 30 minutes.Separate sauce in half. Some is for glazing and some is for dipping later.Grillin’ Turn one burner on LOW and preheat grill. Burner should be all the way to one side.**Place ribs on foil, meat side down on the grill so that no part of the rack is directly over the burner that’s on. Brush a thin layer of sauce over the top of the rack, close the lid. After about 20 minutes, apply another coat of sauce and carefully flip the entire rack. Coat the new top part with sauce (should now be the meatier side). Close the lid. Every 15-20 minutes apply another coat of sauce. There’s no need to flip the ribs again while cooking.With slow cooked BBQ there’s “done” and then there’s “ready.” Ribs are “done” when the internal temperature reaches a point to kill any harmful organisms. That’ll happen in a couple hours in all likelihood. They’re not ready though until a fork easily passes into the meat, which could be a whole heck of a lot longer. Expect at least three hours on the grill, and probably a good deal longer.***Wingin’ It Tips:*If you’re of the opinion that glazing with a sauce is akin to BBQ blasphemy, I got you covered. Add 1鈦? cup brown sugar to the dry rub and 2 Tbsp red pepper. Skip the sauce, it’ll still have one key wing sauce ingredient at least. You may need to cover the ribs if grilling or baking to prevent them from drying out. **If you have a smoke box for your grill, this is a good time to use it. You may need to play around with temperature as grills are finicky, but the flavor payoff is worth it. I used a walnut/maple mixture. ***Grills have a wide number of variables so be prepared to play around. If applying one layer of sauce over another isn’t going on easily (clumping or pulling off the other layer) the heat could be too low or the sauce too thin. Ultimately, don’t be afraid to check temperatures with a meat thermometer before consuming. The Beer: This week’s sauce should veer a little less toward the sweet side, but we’ll pair it again with Blue Light.Just a fancier look. Saucy fingerprints will show up well so if there’s any confusion on whose beer is whose, you can play detective. Beer products provided by Labatt USA. Please drink responsibly. Coming soon!The Buffalo Bills head to Indianapolis to take on the Colts. We’ll break away from the BBQ as we put a twist on the famous Indianapolis signature food of... Wait. What are they even known for? Looks like I have some research to do. The Buffalo Bills traveled to Indianapolis to take on the Indianapolis Colts. It didn’t go so well. The Derek Anderson-led Bills failed to find the end zone and 40% of their final point total came on a gift from the Colts when Andrew Luck watched the snap go right by him deep in their own territory. It wasn’t pretty, but we’ll take a look at playing time trends anyway. Offense (56 snaps)The good news is that Derek Anderson remained on the field for the entirety of the offensive snaps. With the current quarterback situation best described as “dire Bills Vladimir Ducasse Jersey ,” an injury to the interim starter would be the last thing the Bills need. For the offensive line, Jeremiah Sirles came in for only three plays, meaning the Bills went light on their heavy package this week. LeSean McCoy left the game with what appeared to be an ankle injury on the second play of the day for the Bills’ offense. It was later revealed that a head injury kept McCoy from returning to the game and has his status for Week 8 in question. Chris Ivory and Marcus Murphy saw increased workloads as a result. Captain Patrick DiMarco did not see increased snaps. For the receivers, Zay Jones remains the number one for playing time. We noted that the familiarity between Derek Anderson and Kelvin Benjamin could lead to the latter being more of a factor in this game to help Anderson acclimate. Not surprising then that his 79% of snaps this week was the highest amount for Benjamin this year. While the game wasn’t his highest amount for targets this season, it was his highest in catches (4) and yards (71). Defense (66 snaps)Interestingly, the Bills’ inability to stop the Colts might have been the result of some tinkering this week. Only two players of the 100% club stayed on the field the entire time. Tremaine Edmunds and Jordan Poyer are usually joined by Tre’Davious White, Micah Hyde, and Phillip Gaines. Matt Milano looked to join the ranks recently. Milano came closest this week, missing only one snap. Curiously though; White, Micah Hyde and Gaines all saw reduced playing time. White and Gaines appear to have had playing time taken by [checks notes] Dontae Johnson. The defensive line has typically aimed for a two-thirds to one-third split between starters and depth players. For some reason this week, none of the starters broke 55%. The shift to a roughly 50/50 split is a significant deviation from the usual defensive plan. Similarly, Taron Johnson saw a small reduction in playing time compared to last week, while Rafael Bush’s time increased. This likely means the Bills attempted to play more “big nickel” defense this week. Special Teams (24 snaps)Players that broke the 30% barrier are listed above. In total, 36 players took the field for special teams against the Colts. The big move this week on special teams is Siran Neal topping the list. There could be some tinkering going on with this part of the team as well.
