Didn't Nate openly hate on Buffalo in the past?

The bills should have come to the placekicker defense. Somebody on the bills should have shown some toughness and go after that idiot from the jets.
Our players need to learn the flag isn't coming, we get hit with so many ticky-tack or fathom calls that we might as well start fighting the other team and taking cheap shots. ***** them, we're not above that. It worked against Jax, what was the convo that got caught on the mic:
Ref to McDermott: "You need to control your players"
McDermott to Ref: "You need to call it both ways"
Ref walked away with his tail in between his legs and we started getting some calls. It's not the refs fault, they are just doing what their bosses tell them to do & the league doesn't respect us because our fan base will always support the team, so we will never get the benefit of a call going our way.

Lions 20 Bills 9 in the Hall of Fame
sorry to interject actual facts, sport....
Should have been more clear. How many HoF’ers since the merger? You are right. But Detroit’s success is much like the Montreal Canadians, there were only like 6 teams so of course, they won championships and had HoF’ers before newspapers were printed in color
-
The Lions are the Bills, with much less Hall of Famers & zero Super Bowl appearances

$53k for the season.
I thought the average salary for refs were $250k w/ full benefits, plus they are in a union

I really concerned with the level of talent this regime can bring in. They have killed it in the draft but their pro scouting must be the worse in the league. I can't think of a single valuable player McBean has brought in

There was nothing blatantly missed by the refs today.
Sometimes there are calls that can be considered the "gray area" - and unfortunately we had a bunch of those in the last couple drives of the game.
- The Milano pass interference was ticky-tacky. But he DID use his body to impede the receiver's progress, before he turned to defend the ball.
- The Phillips personal foul was ticky-tacky. But he DID forcefully throw the runner's foot to the ground, while mouthing off at the Dolphins sideline.
- On the sack, he didn't grab Allen's facemask or horse-collar him. His neck and helmet got twisted, but it really wasn't due to an illegal grab by the defender.
Holding the end zone should have been a safety was a big one and when the defender touched Allen’s helmet, by the book it’s an automatic penalty.
Refs were really bad today and I’m glad Hughes made sure he called that ref a b1tch, in a 4 point loss those calls made the difference.
It’s really not the refs fault, they are instructed how to influence the game by the league, so technically they are doing their job

Another bad look for a kneeler

no way you watch the NFL the same as pro wrestling
I don’t, but there are such things as lookalike audiences.
The difference between NFL & WWF, is football is not completely fixed, the refs are just instructed to influence the game, it is possible for a team to overcome & a game that is not going to be called in their favor.

What? So now every game of every week has to be the same as every game the previous week otherwise it means the NFL is manipulating games for Parody? Come on...you cant really believe this stuff? So its all offense one week then NFL intervenes to slow it down next week...then intervenes again the week after to raise scores, and so on and so on?
Real question...why do you watch sports then? Because no sport can be legit, its all a big lie if what you just said is true.
If the NFL carried about competitive balance, it wouldn't be a discussion.
Millions of people watch the WWF, when they know it's fixed, same with the NFL. It's still entertaining & half of the entertainment is figuring out how the refs will influence the game.
Ratings & narratives, i don't understand why this is so hard

So let me get this straight...you think that rather than it being a game where a team with a strong D played well and defended their home field, its MORE plausible and definitive even that the NFL risked its $100 Billion Dollar property to manipulate and interfere in a regular season Thursday night game with nothing significant even on the line, so it would be a low scoring game to counter what is essentially the NFLs wet dream of a game that was Rams vs Chiefs?
Hahahaha come on man, maybe you need to put a tin foil hat on your X-mas list. I mean seriously, how can you think this? First, everyone says the NFL is changing the rules to CREATE high scores. So why would they risk the credibility of the entire league to manufacture a low scoring game, especially one with one of the best stories in the NFL this year...MVP front runner, ideal NFL poster boy, future HOFer, and all around good guy Drew Brees and what was a near perfect season so far. I mean for them to do this, there has to be something to gain...and there is literally ZERO gained by any result of last nights game. Doesn't matter if tis low, high, lop sided, medium scores etc. You could EASILY make a case that its better for the NFL for Drew Brees to have shined in that game, not struggle and lose a low scoring affair.
Just being honest man, but these kinds of statement lack any kind of commonsense to them. I mean its a rather unimportant game to the NFL, its a regular season Thursday night game. This would be far fetched even if this was a playoff or Super Bowl game, but off the charts far fetched considering it was a Thursday night game with nothing at stake for the NFL. I get general corporate greed and mistrust, but there is just no logic or common sense that supports this theory about last nights game.
Have you watched an NFL game before? There’s a narrative that the league wants to push & the refs help execute that narrative. The last 2 weeks every talking head was talking about how all the rules only benefit offense and that defense was afterthought. The NFL wanted to say “Hey, defense is important too” on a prime time game and instructed the refs to make sure defenses shined. Like are you just looking at box scores?

that's why I've determined for at least 20 years not to let calls get to me
I don't watch replay reviews any more, i PVR most games and fast forward to the start of the next play
they are going to do in the booth whatever they want to do irrespective of what everyone can plainly see on the replay
a total farce
2Unless we start holding these refs accountable, by starting fights on the field (last week) or something like 2001 bottlegate, they will continue to the call the games the way they were instructed to.
-
All that matters is how the refs are instructed to call the games. This game they wanted an emphasis on defense to counteract the Rams Chiefs MNF, where they wanted the emphasis on offense.
If you think refs go out there, objectively, and try to call fair games, you are mistaken

I’d take O’Leary over Croom or Logan Thomas any day

The Guy has thrown for nearly 1500 yards 11 touchdowns (and 2 more rushing TDs) in 6 games and in 4-2 (one loss was that clown Rex's fault) against them. Something about playing Miami always bought out the best in Tyrod - he turns into Brady against them.
Or the Dolphins suck. Averaging less than 2 TDs a game, is why he's a backup

Where did he get the can? Dont they pour them into the a plastic cup at the stadium?
I honestly dont remember if they do that, how sad lol
Most people bring sneak their own cans into the stadium.
Fournette deserves it. His teammate called us trash for months, then got trashed thrown at him after starting a fight. I’m glad our players finally stood up for themselves

I'll never get over Orton's slide at Oakland. That alone push's him down the list.
Didn't we give up a 3rd & 30 in that game?

Kyle would probably die on the field if you let him. If he comes back, i could see it in a limited role behind the Phillips brothers, playing a limited amount of snaps and providing veteran leadership. I hope he plays forever

No he didn't. Orton sucked after the first handful of games. Go look at his game logs one more time.
If it makes you feel any better, I attribute the decline to Marrone and his ultra conservative style and demand that the QB never, ever turn the ball over. Orton got beat into submission and played scared in the second half of his starts.
I disagree, I thought he played with alot of balls. Almost made a comeback at Denver, always felt like maybe you had a chance

Have to give it to Tyrod. He at least played decent football, didn't turn the ball over, and did happen to be our QB when the playoff drought ended.
I'd give Bledsoe second. He had a good season, and then struggled after that.
Fitzpatrick probably gets third. His propensity to throw interceptions at the worst time knocks him down.
Those are my top 3. I'm not sure where all the love for Kyle Orton comes from. He had a few good games and then sucked after that. He was just as frustrating to watch as any other crappy Bills QB.
Sucked after that?
Orton finished that season strong, if the defense doesn’t melt down to the 3-13 Raiders, they make the playoffs with him.
1) Orton
2) Tyrod
3) Bledsoe
4) Fitzy
5) Matt Barkley?
We’ve has probably 20 QBs start for us since 2000 & it’s hard to come up with 5 that were semi-decent.

Look like he can make an NFL throw from the pocket
Play a full 4 quarters of good football

If josh Allen shows some development then it will help bringing players in. Historically, you are right, the Bills have overpaid for players. Lets hope we can sell it to some good FA’s.
High taxes, no QB in a small market isn't a good recipe to attract top talent, I really hope Allen shows promise and McDermott can make us a contender

Disagree- he wasnt playing up to his contract and it was handcuffing this new regime. 91 mil and 10 draft picks next year will make us all forget the collosal mistake Whaley made by overpaying him.
You don't think we are going to have to overpay for players to come to play for one of the worse offenses of all time

I can’t believe he didn’t change!
Did he ever settle those two sexual assault lawsuits?
Soooo they got rid of his ridiculous contract, his ridiculous attitude, his sexual assault cases, and acquired their new starting LG on a rookie deal. How the hell is that a mistake?
I care about production on the field, more players than you think are scumbags. You are not going to tell me, we are better defense without him
And don't give me we have the "2nd best D in the league" that's an example of stats being for losers

So ***** how the refs are influencing charger games to try and get them fans. It’s impossible to watch NFL game and think they are called subjectively anymore
