Plus it was third down. So stopping a drive. If first down and they have two more shots, maybe not that valuable. A 30 yarder on 3rd and long is essentially creating a turnover. can really set a tone.

Denver looked pretty good beating GB yesterday. I am not saying the Bills can't beat the Broncos (they can), but it will be a tough game at Mile High if the Bills have to go there.

Gilliam is an absolute hammer.

So who's your replacement, champ? Don't bring your problems without a solution that can actually be implemented. Details, please. Remember, you fire McD, the entire staff goes out as well. You don't get to cherry pick. So you need an entire coaching staff. I'll wait.

I see your point, but no way Terry parts with a winning HC. Ponder this on the tree of woe... maybe the right person is already in the building, but Beane does his own thing on draft day and FA? Not inconceivable.

Adjusting for whatever broadcast delay there is though is the potential issue. The live game is noticeably ahead of the tv broadcast. The built in broadcast delay is like 10 seconds then there could be just output type delays on top of that they probably got a look at it at game speed on the broadcast and that’s it (if the Hawkeye stuff wasn’t available)

I've said this before, the Bengals are built to win fantasy football championships, not NFL championships. They're all about big time passing game with the running game as an afterthought and defense non-existent. At least not in his prime. Brown finally traded Carson Palmer after 8 seasons with Cincy which included, IIRC, at least one hold out. Comparing QBs and HCs is like comparing apples and oranges. FTR, Parcells was 0-3 in playoff games without Belichick as his DC. Parcells was 11-5, including both his Super Bowl victories, with Belichick as his DC.

This mindset is not going to work in the playoffs most likely. You manifest what you fear.... The silver lining is Allen has zero fear and the oline can control games

Exactly, people here like to invent new ways to hate on the coaching.

Go on and enjoy your faux outrage for a little longer

I agree with you that it might be time to move on from Beane but again a new GM especially a good one with a track record of success will probably want the option to bring in his own HC.

By the way, what adjustments were made? I saw the results, but I'm not sure what caused them.

Yes it was targeted, but what should be concerning, is that seemingly nothing is known. It is very unusual for someone to commit a mass shooting with plans of not getting caught. Usually the shooter wants to be known right away and motive is pretty quick to figure out. I’d be concerned that he has further plans given this.

One thing they are doing is putting Gilliam back deep with Davis and using him as a lead blocker…

There have been a couple games recently that really reek of gambling influence

Were you sober when you posted this? This year, the Bills, coached by McDermott, defeated: A Reid-coached team, the Chiefs A Tomlin-coached team, the Steelers A Harbaugh-coached team, the Ravens A Vrabel-coached team, the Patriots Last year, the Bills, coached by McDermott, defeated: A Payton-coached team, the Broncos A Reid-coached team, the Chiefs A Tomlin-coached team, the Steelers A Harbaugh-coached team, the Ravens A Shanahan-coached team, the 49ers A Campbell-coached team, the Lions The very last thing the Bills have a problem with is matching up with the NFL's tenured and respected coaches. Please do a little research before you post your garbage. BTW - the pro-Patriot posters all disappeared after yesterday's game. Feel free to join them.

It was home cooking BS

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT? He doesn’t have this shite figured out since ‘13 seconds’? FFS, you ***** rube, have geek guy beside you reviewing it, with the ability to cattle prod you into making the correct decision! If that’s not legal, have the booth geek guy doing the same!!

It would be a major upset if the Broncos lost at KC without Mahomes. Anything is possible but I wouldn't bet on it.

Did I state his jersey wasn't grabbed? My post is very short, shouldn't be hard to read again. I'll wait.

I dont see that in our situation. We have Allen and McDermott has built a culture. A new GM honestly has it easier in Buffalo...just pick better talent. Nothing is 100% but dang we can do a lot better then we have at getting talent

The entire first half the refs catered to the Patriots. Maybe this was set up pregame strategically by the Vrable. Anytime there was a play inn question, the refs had the clock stopped and were over talking to Vrable. Which in the case of his challenges, gave them more time to see replays. Unlike the Bills potential challenge on the Boutte catch where the ball was spotted immediately for the Pats to run a play. As far as the clock, they should have just given Vrable a whistle at that point. Vrable believed he was in such control of the refs by the second half, that he was seen telling the officials to pick up the flag on the Shakir simultaneous possession reception.

Let's be honest - we all think it's an obvious PI because we are Bills fans and it worked for us. Yes he hit him early, yes it is definitely pass interference....but if the play had been completely the opposite, we would now be probably 10 pages deep on how it wasn't PI and it was definitely an interception

I'm not sure if the eye in the sky review is dependent on the broadcast feed (though I imagine it is), as it is for the Bills staff member in the booth who has the job to see the replay and call down to McD on whether to challenge or not. In this case the production did a horrible job of showing a replay in a timely manner, and IIRC the first one they showed was not a good angle anyway. My guess is that McD did not have a good angle to make a good assessment on the field (or maybe even from his vantage point he thought it was a catch), and while the guy in the booth was waiting for the replay to make his assessment, McD was looking at the scoreboard for any kind of assistance (thus his comment). By the time NE was rushing to the line I don't think the guy in the booth ever had a chance to review the replay and call down. At this point McD had the option to take a chance to just throw the flag regardless, with no clarification, and potentially burn a TO Ultimately the thing that burns me week after week is the horrible TV production that so often doesn't show replays, or show them in a timely manner. If the eye in the sky is dependent on that a lot of times they are not getting the views fast enough to reverse plays - the teams are definitely dependent on it with their guys in the booth telling the coach whether to challenge or not
