  1. The more interesting question is, what if neither are.
  2. It looked to me like he was setting a pick, and he would be entitled to his own space and not need to get out of Hydes way within 1 yard of the LOS. I'm no ref, but according to the announcers (who know more than I do) it was a legal play. Plus the flag was very late it seemed, unless it was just the snow that made it seem that way. And the way they were basically letting everything go all game, it seemed odd to call that. But the good guys won. That's the important thing.
  3. That's what I thought the flag was for as well. Don't know if it was that late or the TV people just didn't see it in all the snow.
  4. It's because it was within one yard of the LOS. It was not PI. They had an interview with Hyde on the local news where he said he deserved an oscar for his acting performance on that play. But at the end of the day a win for the colts did nothing for them whereas one for the Bills kept their hopes alive. So gratefully accept the xmas gift from the zebras and move on.
  5. They had a locker room interview with Hyde on the local news, his comment was he deserved an Oscar for his acting performance. Plus it was within one yard of the LOS. The Bills got a badly needed xmas gift from the zebras.
  6. That's football My wife wanted to buy tickets for a December game at full price right when they went on sale in the summer as well. I told her to wait until mid-season. If the Bills were doing badly you will get tickets dirt cheap. If they are doing good you will still get them cheaper than face because it's in Buffalo in December. Bottom line, never pay face for December Bills tickets.
  7. The reason is simple. Early in the season the schedule was softer, and the defense was getting a crazy number of turnovers .. a crazy unsustainable number. So they came out with the very good early season record. I suspect no one was more surprised than the Bills front office.
  8. 3rd and 20 and you check down for the short meaningless completion makes you look good in that one particular stat, but it's still a 3 and out
  9. My son and I want to see vegas play, otherwise yeah. My wife wants to go. She loves Kenny's tailgate and goes for the event, not the game.
  10. Stubhub prices for the vegas game in march are not much below face at the moment. Maybe as it gets closer ...
  11. The NFL isn't charging $6 per ticket. Someone who put that ticket on nfl exchange or stubhub for $6 paid an average of $92.98, to a NFL team, last season. The NFL teams also charge rent and/or takes a percentage from the parking and concessions. The rent for the concessions plays a huge factor in the price of goods sold. Graph taken from here
  12. Yeah that certainly plays into it as well. They can't. Which is a problem the NFL has put themselves in. At least in small town economically challenged areas like Buffalo, the NFL has priced itself out of the regular fan, while at the same time trying to promote the experience as family friendly.
  13. They probably will do so when the games matter. Most think that though the Bills aren't mathematically eliminated yet, it is inevitable given the unlikeliness of the scenarios required to back into a wildcard spot.
  14. Kids day in preseason doesn't need to be a 4pm game. This "family day" game isn't at 4pm. They always have a decent crowd at the kids day games, and Sunday is a bad team playing a really bad team. To me is smells like Russ experimenting to see if the kids day crowd might be willing to fill a few seats that historically go empty in December.
  15. Well, good hygiene is important after all.
  16. McCoach: "We are very happy that Eric is getting an opportunity to show what he can do, and we wish him nothing but the best in his career. Next question."
  17. As others have said, it is because the Bills have sucked for a very very very too freaking long time. No one other than Bills fans wants to see them at all.
  18. I think you hit on it. They have a lot to worry about in the heat of the moment and it's easy to make that mistake. That's why I like the idea of having someone on a headset to let him know what to do.
  19. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/bills-tyrod-taylor-will-start-if-healthy/
  20. Yeah that one had me scratching my head as well. Even if his intention was just to give Peterman a couple more plays practice, it was the wrong move. This off season McCoach needs to get an analytics person to either teach him clock management and give him a cheat sheet he can go to during games, or have that analyst on a headset to help him do the smart thing and prevent him from doing the dumb thing during those situations.
  21. Have any jobs opening on your staff next season? I have no captions fit for a G rated audience.
  22. If you can't score goals you can't win games. The top team in the division, the Lightning, have scored 33 more goals than the Sabres this season already.
  23. It is 100% irrelevant if they are a tough out etc.. They just need to evaluate QB and every other position of need in relation to what there is in the draft and how many picks they have to use/deal. But, if nothing else, the Peterman experiment showed how much you need a solid oline if you intend to have a pocket passer as your QB.
  24. The Sabres took the pens to OT a few weeks ago, and the pens aren't all that this season sitting at 13-10-3. Plus they are averaging 2.8 goals per game versus the Sabres 2.2. A split wouldn't shock me. But either would dropping both If the Bills offense can keep Brady on the sideline they should be able to keep it close. But if the 3 and out parade starts it's going to get ugly with Brady picking apart the Bills secondary. Goaltending is the least of their problems IMO. They can't score goals. To me, Eichel isn't the savior they hoped he would be, He is above average, but he isn't an elite player such as a Crosby for example. To me, the highlight of this Buffalo sports season is Marty Biron doing the intermission and post game shows. He is very good.
