Agreed you could hear the disappointment. He did catch himself a few times but it almost made it more noticeable to me. Still best in the business but today, in a dominating win, i expected better from him.

I disagree with the rest of your post but this part the most strongly. Defender never turned his head around and impeded Knox's attempt at a catch. Clear pi by rule.

Since we played miami twice them winning would increase our strength of victory by more wouldnt it? Or does it still only count once?

I am with you on all of this. As you state none of it can happen without them losing to Houston first so that is what I am rooting for. I don't think they will but I will be rooting for it! Only one I disagree with is Browns over Steelers. Browns are hot right now records be damned. The Steelers and their third string qb are more likely to fall apart imo.

For the red: I'm rooting for Pittsburgh. Cleveland is hot right now and to me the better team. A loss pretty much ends them so that is what I am rooting for. I'm rooting for Tennessee. We own the tie breaker over them. I'm rooting for Baltimore. I would like to see them keep pace with the Patriots this week so when they lose to the Bills it doesn't end their hopes for a bye. I disagree with a couple of your bolded. I'm rooting for Houston. The division is in play if the Patriots drop this game and the Bills can beat them in foxboro. Plus I will never root for the Patriots unless it has some huge benefit for the Bills. This game doesn't meet this criteria. I'm rooting for Tampa Bay. End Jacksonville's season. For the non bolded: I'm rooting for Miami. Ruin the tank and help our strength of victory I'm rooting for Washington. Help the strength of victory I'm rooting for Giants. I bet you can guess why lol. All this said just win baby!!! Still rooting for the division. Beat Dallas when they are reeling, beat the Ravens after having extra prep time, beat the Steelers and Duck Dodge, end the dynasty, beat the running for the buses Jets! Let's Go Buffalo!!!

You know I probably should just let them slide but are we really complaining about the 3rd ranked defense? 3rd in ppg, 3rd in ypg, 3rd in passing yards per game, and gasp 14th in rushing yards per game. They are top 5 in 3 categories and top half of the league in the other category. With 90 million in cap space there is no need to move on from Star or Trent. There is money to spend on Shaq and Jordan Phillips and others who need to be re-signed. There is still money to add players as well. No reason to cut players and create holes in a very good defense.

It looks like I am in the minority but I love the red on red color rush!

Perhaps but I have brought up missteps before and told they were no big deal. I hate to beat this drum but the go back to where you came from tweet got way more defense here than I expected. To the blatant hit jobs I think that is the cost of being president. Especially with the 24 hour news cycles and social media now it is easier than ever to spark (faux) outrage. The right did it to Clinton, then the left did it to GW, then the right did it to Obama, and now the left does it to Trump. I did some research on this previously and the research showed that Trump gets the most negative coverage. I think that has to do with him being a celebrity beforehand and someone who made enemies prior to becoming POTUS. Trump had a lot of negative press prior to becoming president and many people already had an opinion on him. Prior to their presidential runs very few people knew who Obama or Clinton were. GW was only known for being the owner of the Rangers and the son of Bush I. You and me both. Seriously the coronation of Clinton was something I was very happy not to see. The DNC showed how corrupt they were and it still wasn't enough. Media on both sides showed their true colors more than ever before. To be a fly on the wall when she realized she hadn't won...

I really appreciate you taking the time to write all of that out. I'm with you all the way up to thinking that Trump won this election is spite of all of this going on and played fairly. I buy everything except the idea that he and the Repubs would operate above board if as you say it has gone back to at least GW. I'm not saying the impeachment is necessary or warranted but at what time does the lid get blown off of this so it no longer happens? That's what I was trying to get at. I don't want to excuse Obama's actions anymore than I want Obama's actions used to excuse Trump's actions (if he did the same). I have no problem with him being investigated. If he did no wrong I will be relieved. I fear I am rambling at this point so I apologize for not being as well written as you but hopefully I got my point across lol.

Obama at this point doesn't really matter. He won't be holding any office in the future. I am not saying it doesn't matter what he did as I stated earlier neither of them should have done it. I'm saying it is a moot point now. Or better put it doesn't make it better for Trump that Obama did it. I'm really (probably naively) hoping that it isn't the cost of running for President now.

I'm trying to figure out if we are on the same page here. Obama shouldn't have done it and neither should Trump. Are we all in agreement here? Or is it that since Obama did it it is okay that Trump is doing it? Isn't this a textbook definition of whataboutism?

I'm not your target here as I don't hate Trump. I'm not a fan of the way he represents the country but hate is not at all a word I would use for my feelings. I will take a crack as I think the answer is very simple. It lines up with their beliefs. Same reason everyone here is quick to believe Trump and everything the right pumps out. Trump is a proven liar and manipulator. However he gets the benefit of the doubt all the time on this board. People want to believe what fits their narrative. It is really that simple. Confirmation bias runs rampant on both sides. You think Trump was brought in as some outsider to bring down the cabal that really runs this country. I think Trump who was born rich and profits greatly from his position as the president is more of the same. In 5 years a Dem will get elected and this board will go crazy about how evil the new president is, and 8 years later a repub will go in and on and on and on and on.

I just re watched it and #71 (Matt Feilir) was within a couple of yards the entire time as well as an official. I would imagine those would be the 2 who were asked if they heard anything. Feiler could maybe protect a teammate but the official would have no reason to lie. Even thinking further into it, I would imagine if the official heard it, he would have immediately reported it to the league office. I have to imagine these guys are required to fill out an after game report especially when an ejection happens.

Cowboys in a knock down drag out game that goes to OT and is remembered as one of the most physical games ever played. That way the Boys can be exhausted on Thursday!!!

Omar Kelly = Mannish Mehta = Mike Rodak They troll their own fans as much or more so than anything else. The new ESPN reporter is such a breath of fresh air. Marcel Louis Jacques actually has me going to ESPN for Bills news instead of avoiding it.

I'm waffling. I could see it Sunday but the way they didn't take their foot off the gas against Miami means we might not see him grinding at the end of the game. Dallas would be a nationally televised game and a great story. Neither team is terrible against the run with Denver being 11th and Dallas being 15th. I'm hoping for this Sunday but voted for Thursday. Short weeks are tough for defenses and someone who runs using a punishing style should do well.

They met last Thursday https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28086474/source-antonio-brown-meeting-nfl-lasted-8-hours

If she has an android, you can sign in from another device and have it turn the ringer on. I have misplaced my phone several times and just use my wife's phone to turn on the ringer. No app necessary.

Only 3 of those are DTs however 3 of the next 4 are also DTs and make more than 15. He is in line for quite a payday and imo has earned it. Front load it while they have extra cap space or push the big hit to year 2 when they move on from Star. Either way they can and should pay this man his money!

Way late to this but honestly I forget this forum exists. Perhaps it could be pinned on the main page with the college football board? Maybe do it as a test run and if it doesn't take off then remove it completely.

Just for fun I looked back. The last time a Buffalo receiver finished in the top 10 for yards was Lee Evans in 2006! Brown has been playing way above my personal expectations. Hearkening back to the Stevie Johnson days, I don't care whether he is a #1 or not. He produces. The Bills certainly need another receiver across from him to take their attack to the next level and it would be nice to see it be a larger target with a large catch radius. He can be 1a and 1b with the other guy because Beasely is pure slot. None of the other guys on the roster have shown they are a consistent threat. I'm looking forward to the draft this year as I think that is where the answer will be found. Put me in the Ceedee Lamb camp as well. He is electric!

Thank you!!! Everyone here is talking wild card and not division. Patriots are not as strong as they were and Brady is looking looonnnnggg in the tooth. Bills are 7-3 I'm rooting for the AFC East title! 13-3 Baby!!!

The patriots run of extended success has skewed a lot of these though. Did you know 4 of the last 6 super bowls have been won by QBs drafted in the 3rd round or later (in jest). I don't think it is a secret that you need to have a top quality qb over any other position. I think DE is as big a need as WR but it doesn't mean that WR isn't a need. If Allen was a Brady/Rodgers/P Manning level talent then sure but he isn't... yet.

Seriously I love this dude. He plays with joy and fire. That is a defensive guy celebrating not just with the offense but with the QB. That (to me anyway) says what his team and teammates think of him.

Jordan Phillips is maybe my favorite player on the defense so I am probably a bit biased here. This dude is an energizer and their roles can't be discounted. He is constantly pumping up the crowd and defense. To me he fully embodies the process. I get worrying about when he gets paid as it seems that is an issue with dt over any other position but if he was that type of guy I don't think he would have come back this year. He is tied for 10th overall in the entire NFL in sacks. He is 2nd at his position for sacks. He has production, he has the attitude, and he already loves the City. He is must re-sign imo.
