When are the Bills going to learn how to throw a traditional screen pass? They do everything but.

Samuel needs to muscle in on that throw.

No more tears with Johnson and Johnson!!

Never ceases to amaze me how really gifted superstar athletes look like clumsy oafs when they try to recover a football on the ground.

The missed call on Burrow on the literally the most important Play of the game last night was absolutely inexcusable. Any other player on the field it might be understandable but the guy with the ball and you miss that? That's about the 4th or 5th horribly missed call this year. The league needs to get their heads out their a** and really do something.

I think it would be quite easy to fix a big portion of the problem by doing: 1. A coaches challenge on penalty calls or non calls. Only 1 allowed per half. Lose the challenge then lose a Time out. 2. Use the eye in the sky to automatically review big calls in the game and get them right. If a bogus holding call is made that never happened or a severe facemask (like Darnold's) is uncalled. Then buzz the referee and tell him to review and overturn the call if necessary. The game has become way to fast for these officials and most of the calls are guessing. I'm surprised that they even get it right as often as they do tbh. One other factor is that in the past there were less teams and less officiating crews. I am sure that has watered down the quality as well.

Still the best press conference after a game I have ever seen. Total authenticity from Green and totally justified.

Bengals had that game and blew it yet again. Their fumble at 21-7 was the turning point. Could have closed it out with a score on that drive and we would have probably seen the appearance of Panic Lamar. That would have been a real test for him but the Bengals let him off the hook.

The game in 2018 was one of the worst Bills games I have ever watched and I lived through the Hank Bullough years! Derek Anderson was abysmal!!

So we'd like teams to run instead of pass, but who cares in games when we cant stop the run? Is the strategy that an opposition running filled drive will take longer and that somehow helps us? while exhausting our defense? and keeping our high powered offense off the field? Huh?

An unfortunate photo, he looks like he belongs on "Little People, Big World" in that pic!

The standard of officiating has been declining for more than 20 years in the NFL and even with replay and now "Eye in the Sky", they still cannot get it right. One of the calls vs TB for holding in the first half was obviously a guess. Like many holding calls, there was nothing obvious about it even in slow mo, let alone in real time from an official on the field. So why call that penalty? If the NFL doesn't want to introduce a coach's challenge for bad penalties, then they should overturn BS penalties with the eye in the sky or call missed ones when they are egregious like Darnold's facemask a couple of weeks ago.

Actually I was thinking Chiefs but yes good point, TB was even worse with their key injuries, which makes their effort last night even more impressive and the KC performance even more underwhelming.

Another tease game for KC. TB D was pretty good all night, Mahomes looked like he might have been injured on that TD pass. Chiefs really undermanned with injuries. Officials were bias of course but with all that Mayfield takes them down the field for the tie and then of course thats when the tired TB defense gives out. Just sickening because the Chiefs are 8-0 but somehow look beatable every week.

Bass misses PAT but kicks a FG that could have been from 70 yards!

Wow what a pass rush today, total garbage. And nobody on that Dolphins player in the end zone?

Maybe cover Hill or gets some pressure? Just a thought?

Now can we finally have a solid defensive series where we have some intelligent playcalls?

Another patented McD defensive cave in.

Rushing 4 there? why? and where was the spy?

BASS?!!!

So they have an mysterious "eye in the sky" official who sometimes corrects a bad call before it gets announced but they couldnt use this person on that non existent holding call? They couldnt have buzzed down to the field to tell them that there was no holding call?? Then what is the point of the eye in the sky?

I will say it again. Get a coaches challenge system for penalties. 1 per half allowed. There was no holding whatsoever on the TD and none the play after. The NFL officials are the most incompetent in pro sports.

Coleman's gaffe there just reinforces that old school "catch it in the breadbasket" catches are a lost art with modern NFL receivers.

Jets pass defense was decent and their rushing schemes last night seemed to have really confused Stroud. You have to give these coaches some credit on the Jets defensive staff they got great pressure and if Stroud wasnt getting sacked or tackled hard, they were following through with hits after he released it.
