Actually I haven't found Schopp to be as arrogant recently, I think he has mellowed a little bit in the holier than thou category and to be fair he was right in calling out McD last year for benching Tyrod vs the Chargers for the useless NP. The person who grates me most at WGR recently is Sal C when he hosts that show on Monday morning. For some reason he reminds me of smart ass joe pesci clone when he goes off on callers really rudely when they make a nervous slip up on air. That to me is douchey.

I was thinking the same thing. I get that nobody saw the play on the Bills because it was far down the field but did the players not see Hauschka in agony on the ground? DId nobody ask what happened? Did nobody think to get a jersey number to exact some street justice? Hauschka has been incredibly important to this team in the past two years, are these Bills players too dense to realize this? It wasn't just Hauschka though, Allen was taking dirty and late hits left and right and his linemen don't seem to care .

The same crew just followed up with another doozy of a call where they called the Eagles receiver for offensive pass interference and it wiped out a TD. There was absolutely no interference at all on the play, just an imagined foul called by the back judge. Interestingly enough the same Eagles receiver who was called on the penalty was hit twice on the same play by Dbs who hit him helmet to helmet and the refs saw nothing! It just amazes me that these guys are the best they got to do this job.

Today was an example of a team that had put itself in a position to win being let down by really bad coaching decisions on all sides of the ball. Frazier is just a puppet for McD so when our defense started to sputter and break down, we needed McD to make some adjustments at half or on the fly in the 3rd and 4th. He did neither. The decision by McD for Hauschka to kick the long FG when he was obviously hurting was unforgivably stupid. Kickers are like soccer players, a small knock or Charlie horse hit or a smash to the lower back (like Hauschka got) really effects their accuracy and their execution. Should have punted. Instead we gave them the ball (yet again) in great field position.

There was no call on the initial fumble, refs didn't appear to see it. Then they looked at it on replay after Pedersen challenged. On the replay you could clearly see the fumble and the Eagles recovery. But it was the idiotic rationale for not overturning the call that really got me. Then the ref in the Fox booth also amazingly agrees with the on field ref's bizarre decision as if it was obviously correct. But I guess the refs can see better than an HD camera can!

Charles Clay was just as useless as always today. He apparently doesn't have any pride in his performance and his ego probably still believes he can do it. At least Vontae Davis had the intelligence/stupidity to know he was done and admit and quit. Clay just keeps on floating along collecting a paycheck. He hasn't stepped up his game, Why wouldn't you start a backup now or elevate someone from the practice squad? Its pointless to play Clay at all.

If you weren't convinced that the NFL officiating is the biggest joke of all the major sports. Just watch the replay of the opening kickoff in the Dallas Philli game. The Dallas returner clearly fumbles before he is down. 3 Eagles players recover the ball but because the player who recovered the ball used his legs to squeeze the ball into his possession. They GIVE THE BALL TO DALLAS. Why? because as the ref says, "there is no clear recovery on the play"!! 3 Eagles players around the ball no cowboy on the ball or contesting it and no clear recovery. Just mindboggling !

Bills defensive lineman Philipps was tackled on the Jets Td at the end there. No call of course.

Worst game in recent memory for injuries!

Time to cowboy the F up defense!!

ST's strike again!!

Jets showing that cheaters do prosper. Dirty hits on Allen and Hauschka affecting their performance.

dirty hit from behind on Huaschka wow what a tough guy on the Jets!!

How does the Bills Db not pick that off?? I mean he doesn't even touch the ball!!

We have gifted them ALL of their pts!!

STs coach please be gone by Monday!!

Clay makes an easy catch = first down. But he drops it as usual. Next play Josh fumbles because the defense gets a reprieve from Clay

Allen got hit in the head 3X on that drive. Only 1 called. As good as he is running, he cannot last with that kind of punishment and dirty hits!

The second season that I paid attention to the Bills when I was a kid in 1980 he was a leader on a great defense. A true superstar back in the day.

I was at that game as well. Had a great time tailgating with a couple of buddies and it was a pretty entertaining game, however I do remember feeling the same way you did. The Bills were losing, Kelly was out of the game and whatever buzz I had from the morning beer fest had worn off with the stress of the game. Suddenly it dawned on me that there wasn't enough time for the Bills to come back and Kelly looked broken on his way out. They were going to lose and they did. It was a pretty bleak car ride home!

I think the NFL probably has 3rd party confirmation of the "B word" comment, otherwise Hughes would be in some serious hot water right now. Its nice to know that Hughes wasn't crazy at least during his shouting threats part of the post game. However the total denial stage with reporters where Jerry claimed he didn't know what they were talking about. That put me right back in the "Jerry is crazy" camp.

Possibly, but maybe tied with Rob Johnson.

KB was probably one of the worst acquisitions the Bills have made in the past 40 years. I have to say they got swindled! About the only excuse I can think of for KB was that injury he took vs the Chargers in the Peterman INT fest game greatly affected him. Other than that he had a bad attitude and appeared to be really lazy. In addition he failed in so many clutch situations. Good riddance!!

I often feel that way reading some posts on here!

The All 22 captures the moment quite well. Clay clearly gives up on the play and assumes that Allen is going to be sacked. I'm not sure if he waves his arms at all to get Allen's attention or Allen just sees him wide open. He looks really slow as he moves back to the ball almost like he didn't see it coming until it was in the air. But he has a ton of time to get back to the pass precisely because the pass is a wobbler. Clay is also not pressured by anyone so he is not distracted. He then stumbles and dives but still the pass hits him in the arms and he just completely botches it. Totally catchable ball that was dropped and it snuffs out whatever slim chances we had.
