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

where's the rock you climbed out from under? you need to go find it and crawl your ass back under it. -
Sure but 7 points on the first drive of the game doesn't influence games as much as 7 points late. It was a miss, he should have thrown the flag. It does not signal incompetence.
-
They showed it twice on the network broadcast before the ball was snapped on the next play
-
Wow he was on the route break.. you are going to continue to state that his jersey wasn’t grabbed ok.. have fun with that.

Ravens game doesn’t matter much…a loss just gives the bills the buffer to lose to the esgles tiebrakers for Buffalo…. they lost to Texans bills nfc record is 3-1* eagles jags 3-2 Texans 2-3 broncos 5-0 chargers 2-2* at cowboys if bills and jags tie and bills lose to eagles it come to common games if the beat eagles then jags likely have better conf record. blls —- jets, Texans, bengals , chiefs , Panthers — 4-1 with jets game to play jags— jets , Texans , bengals, chiefs, panthers — 4-2 next tiebreakers are strength of victory and strength of schedule bills beat jets, fins,pats, Steelers, ravens, bengals, chiefs, panthers, bucs, saints jags beat jets, Texans, titans, colts, niners, cards, chiefs, raiders, chargers , panthers bills— fins , pats, ravens , bengals , bucs, panthers , saints = 6+11+ 7+ 4+ 7+7+4=46 jags— Texans, colts, titans, raiders, chargers, cards, niners = 9+8+2+10+2+3+10=44 3 team tie, Texans get the edge broncos— conf record to bills in tiebreaker if chargers win out, and bills win out chargers have better conf Record.

What’s are the planks of the right wing’s platform?
JFKjr replied to Thurmal34's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
If Trump is NOT keeping his campaign promises, that brings him more to the liberal side of things. "Big government!" "Who cares about states' rights!" And yet you're still unhappy. Thanks for today's self-own! I'm expecting many more. -
Absolutely. I've seen a lot of Pats fans focusing on the catch vs INT portion of that play when it's completely irrelevant. Bills only accepted the play (declined the penalty) because we got credit for the catch. If it was an INT, we would've accepted the penalty and it would've been a spot foul and first down at nearly the same place. A rule change would be good after Josh Allen retires. DPI being a spot foul instead of 15 yards is a huge reason why the NFL is more QB-driven than college football (although QB is pretty important in the latter as well). Given that we have the best QB and aren't that talented elsewhere, let's keep DPI how it is. And let's add some boundary WR talent to help draw more DPIs.

The Grinch Visits Foxborough, MA “Look at Maye pass, look at him run The rest of this game will be so much fun This game will be easy, it will be a cinch Who is afraid of the big bad Grinch?” “The Who's of Foxborough let out a great cheer The Division is ours let’s hang a banner this year. Maye scored from the eight, he scored from the seven The Who's cheers of joy reached into the heavens" “The Pats lead the Grinch Twenty-one to zero Drake Maye is now the AFC East Hero This game is over, the division is wrapped This game is over, put on our Who caps The Pats are our hero's they are so great We beat the Grinch, let's celebrate!” “The Grinch scored a touchdown, we have nothing to fear our Divisional title soon will be here. Keep on your t-shirts, and keep donning your caps The Grinch can't maintain their run gaps” "The Grinch made adjustments to stop the Pats after the half Let's see who cajoles, and who has the last laugh? The Grinch took the field in the second half with a sneer I'll stop all the Who cheers coming from here" “The Grinch scored again, but he's a big phony The Grinch is nothing, but a one trick pony We are the Who's our win is so near Our team will win; we have nothing to fear” “The Grinch has come in, to steal all our gifts Certainly, the Pats will give us a lift The Grinch scored again, but it is ok We have Drake Maye to still save the day” “The Grinch read the pass, he stole the ball this game is going badly; this is no fun at all” “The Grinch had scored touchdowns four tries in a row The Grinch leered and sneered having fun in the snow The Who’s were not happy, this is not fun stop all this passing and go to the run” “Henderson is fast, he is so quick he scored so fast he even made the Grinch sick” “The Grinch was on fire, the Grinch brought his friends The Grinch stole our fun, Is this how the game ends?” “The Grinch stole the game; he stole the Who’s fun he grinned the brightest when the game was done Some Who’s were sad and some let out boos The Grinch even made little Stephon Who sad too.”

crazy is as crazy does

It doesn't matter if he is touched. If the ref considers the offensive player is giving himself up it is the end of the play. The refs would, rightly, have considered that in the case in question and allowed NE a time out.
-
A new GM may not want to work with McDermott. A new GM will probably tell Terry that he wants the power to move on from McDermott and bring in his own HC if both he and McDermott aren't on the same page. A new GM would probably tell Terry he won't accept the job unless he has the option to bring in his own HC.

Ray Davis is suddenly a really good kick returner
Mister Defense replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yup, but they need to use those same skills much more in the passing and running game. He offers a unique talent--built like a bowling ball, and can both run and catch very well. We should all have known from watching him in the past that he can outrun a defense and catch whatever comes his way. Been calling for more of Davis and Johnson, running and catching, since early last season. This needs to happen for the Bills to take the next step. -
The announcers' opinion shouldn't impress anyone. The call is bogus in the most important sense, that it just shouldn't be called. It violates the spirit of the rule, which is to stop players from dirty play. No way that Coleman even felt a tug. He was too busy concentrating on dropping the pass. NFL referees need rigorous, ongoing training to avoid poor calls like this, and to learn how to resist the inevitable bias they bring to every game.

It was a 7 point swing in the game. That’s a huge win probability difference. Do you know what would need to happen to swing a betting line 7 points?
