Watching the big plays from the Colts-Browns game. Odd to see so many former Bills offensive players, on both sides, playing well. Zach Moss, Isaiah McKenzie, Marquise Goodwin, Wyatt Teller.

When a punter hits a coffin corner like that, you know it's not your day. Do better in the 2nd half, Bill.s

Three Bills had a chance to sack Jones, and he gets a gain out of it.

How can a kicked ball turn that way? This isn't bend it like Beckham.

Unfortunately there were 3 Pats doing it.

This guy Belichick seems like a good coach. Maybe that has something to do with it.

OK, welcome to the NFL, Kincaid. You can stay.

Cook is much tougher and stronger than you'd think.

The DaQuon Jones injury will probably turn out to be the most critical.

Bills can't adjust to playing at 1 pm on Sunday.

A Micah Hyde sighting!

The Bills continue to make marginal NFL QBs look like all-pros.

They're not playing against our defense.

You have to go around turnstiles. He just got out of the way.

Sloppy, frustrating game. At least the D got a stop.

It sure looks like the Pats know what the play is going to be.

No argument here. If he'd lined up right and then moved, it would have been illegal procedure. Maybe Morse should have told him to moved back. Or maybe there just wasn't a penalty at all.

Did you see that offside call? I couldn't see it with the camera from behind.

The call on Murray was correct, and his run into the defender was totally unnecessary. Dumb play. Cost us 4 points.

Are you sure about the HOF? Look at how QBs of 20 years ago, and how they're evaluated. How many SBs did he win? How many times was he All-Pro? How many times was he picked for the Pro Bowl? No one asks about the eye test, how good the guy was, because 20 years from now people will not remember the terrific plays. With luck, before Josh is done, he'll have checked all those boxes, but there are so many good QBs including the consensus best, Mahomes, he'll struggle to get that done.

Even Jerry Rice. OMG. Time for the Bills to sign another power back. With Harris gone, the Bills have no tough guy except for Murray. If HE gets hurt too, we're in trouble. Cook can't be the only RB.

No argument from me about Fields. I've never thought he was that good. He is making some occasional improvements, but in this league teams cut bait pretty quickly.

I'm pretty sure the NFLPA agreement is that draftees salaries are predetermined. All in dollars, not in property. This is going nowhere. Williams won the Heisman last year. This year there are at least two QBs in the PAC-12 alone who are better. Wiliams is by no means a lock on the first overall pick, or to be the first QB taken. Chicago has the first two picks next spring, unless it or Carolina starts winning, and may still be clinging to Justin Fields as the future, in which case either they'll trade one of those picks, or not picks a QB at all.

I counted 12 error plays in the first half, three in the third quarter, and only one in the fourth. The Bills were shut out in the first three quarters, scored at the beginning of the fourth, and then again later in the fourth. I'm guessing there's both correlation AND causation going on here.

I don't think the NFL will ever go to full-time officials. All these officials come up through HS and college ranks while holding down regular, full-time jobs and careers. You're gonna tell some person who's in the middle of a long and successful career on the outside, where they're making most of their income, to step away and focus on prepping for the next game, all week long? It's hard to see what they'd be doing all that time, and it's even harder to see many people accepting that. Does anyone think they'd be able to slide back into their other career after the NFL is through with them? And they probably LIKE their main jobs and won't want to stop doing them. So full-time refs is probably not the solution. But there are so many cameras catching all the action. Put half a dozen trained refs, not necessarily ready to be on the field but experienced at the college level, watching a dozen video screens, with controls to focus in on particular plays and actions, at every game. College refs will probably be happy to take the gig, make some money, and get noticed by the NFL for possible on-field jobs in the future. Their direction: When you see something, say something. If Davis gets punched in the face and loses the ball, let's not award the ball to the Jets, let's penalize Okereke for unsportsmanlike conduct and let the Bills keep the ball. Thanks for pointing that out. I missed it completely during the game.
