I agree, good non call but I am not sure I would give the refs credit for that. They probably just missed seeing the play entirely like they were doing all game.

Another foreign game and more bad injuries. Now Packers fans know how we feel about London.

Elam still looks to me that he can be coached up to NFL level. But why are the Bills not doing that?

OMG We won!!

Cue the high stress ending with several shots to the end zone!

Ref consultant on CBS blaming Kincaid??!!! for the late hit on the Allen slide? One of the dumbest observations I have ever heard!

Wow , the Bills just make it difficult for themselves week after week, season after season.

That half was great evidence that maybe you should be playing your starters a bit more in the pre season.

Positive yardage on every play, a guy open on every play, no pass rush. When is somebody on the Bills D going to step up?

Because the idiots who run the NFL are more worried about making Kick Offs redundant than actually correcting amateur officiating.

Same old NFL! Terrible officiating and no recourse for coaches to challenge non existent penalties!

NHL players show up at the arena with suit and ties. Tyreek with a Old Navy $6 wife beater.

I thought about that as well. If you get rid of KOs then how do throw in the chance of the onside kick for a team that has to get the ball back before time expires? Of course the NFL has already ruined onside kicks and made them even less likely to be recovered with their stupid tweaks so maybe the idea is to get rid of all kick offs.

That was quintessential Lamar last night. He looked great running and juking players, threw a couple of great passes and a few awful ones and kept them in the game but for me he still doesn't have that extra something that wins the game.

Diggs was a great player in his time here. His skillset and competitiveness elevated the team and considering the punishment the guy took on the field series after series, he was durable. Yes hated the diva attitude at times but he was also sometimes right to get angry (like during the awful playoff loss to Cinci). He really saddens me that the Bills never won it in his time here. Now all that being said was Diggs on the decline? It looks that way. He wasnt as money last year as in previous years. The drop against KC in the playoff game was absolutely killer and if you watch that replay you know that even Diggs knew that when it happened. By his own high standards, that was unacceptable. In the end though pro sports is a cut throat business and I guess Beane figured that his Digg's cons outweighed the pros. Still seemed a bit premature to write him off though but we shall see.

So far on this thread I have heard the following excuses for getting Trubisky back: 1. He is cheap 2. He knows the offense and this strange one: 3. He wont make Josh feel any pressure of a QB controversy Maybe some others? But they are all LAME. If your backup QB cannot come in and at least run a competent easy offense. let alone win you some games then he is irrelevant. I'm not sure that Trubisky can do either of those things.

Bringing Trubisky back after his pathetic performance for the Steelers last year was one of the most bizarre decisions this regime has made. Why bother? Whatever skills he had are gone and his weaknesses of indecision and immobility have become ever present. Is he a big team guy? a mentor? a jokester in the locker room? A good Christian man? What do Beane and McD see in him? He literally should be cut after how bad he has been. As for the other backups, they dont look like they can play in this league (at least not right now). They dont have the physical or mental abilities to even be a backup. I think signing Tannehill is a no brainer.

This is a very interesting video and I am surprised that I have never seen it before. Marv's anger as he reads his notes is palpable. Actually you can see it in his eyes. Something I've never seen before in any clip of him. What I would like to know is what the actual trigger was at that point. Dickerson for all his faults was at least up front in his views, so he probably said something particularly provocative that drew Marv's ire. That being said I miss shows like the coach's on WGR. The station has now become what it beheld when it used to say "not the company line". At least Dickerson justifiably roasted the Gregg Williams coaching staff for their arrogance and legendary incompetence. Its too bad the current coaching staff is not held to the same account.

Watched bits and pieces of the game and just saw the hilites. NFL exhibition is probably the worst in any sport to get a real idea of anything. Though a couple of observations. I'm puzzled at the point of this solution to the Kickoffs. Seems pretty lame. From a personnel standpoint, I struggle to find a reason for Trubisky getting resigned. He still looks so bad. The 3rd stringer? Buechele doesn't look NFL calibre.

Throwing a spiral accurately stays with you. But its the speed of the throw that would be the problem. I think most people over the age of 25 would have 99% of their throws intercepted even if they were on target or long enough. Just not fast enough!

As an athlete he was amazing. As an actor he was actually decent. As a broadcaster he was ok as well. But as a human being he was an utter POS. He murdered the mother of his kids and deprived them of her for the rest of their lives. He murdered a young man in his prime whose only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was such an utter narcissist that he convinced himself that he didnt do it and that he deserved freedom and to get away with it, as if the world owed him something. He never showed any remorse and his legal team outrageously made the case about race in America, which it had nothing to do with and took away from the real victims of racial crimes. What I cannot understand is that his kids forgave him for what he obviously did. I know they were young at the time but come on! At any time in the last 30 years, he could have had a change of heart and manned up and admitted his heinous crimes but he never did. Good riddance!!!

The move was not really a big surprise but I had a huge empty feeling when I found out. Obviously Diggs was a pain in the butt sometimes in the locker room but his zero tolerance of losing and BS was pretty impressive. Also one the best receivers we have had in years here and one of the toughest players I've ever seen based on the hits he took (often late and dirty). He also made some huge catches in his time here and got some key TDs. It saddens me that one of the final memories of him will be that drop in his last game against KC and Allen overlooking him wide open at the end of the game. Just like with Trey, Poyer and Hyde, Diggs deserved to win a championship here. One of my favorite Diggs moments was him getting a TD vs NE where he berated the audience in Gillette with F bombs. Totally rude but awesome!

McD's defenders on this thread are unreal. They act as if a strategy of squib kick and holding or jamming Kelce/Hill at the line was 3D chess. 13 seconds was a masterpiece of coaching incompetence with repeated cascading errors that each piggy backed on the other. The people here talking that a squib kick would not have resulted in any time off are delusional. Even on a properly fielded squib kick, 2-3 seconds comes off the clock. If the player fielding the KO fumbles the squib kick and then has to pick it up, thats possibly 5-6 seconds off the clock. Everything changes after that. With only 8-10 seconds on the clock you keep everything tight and in front of you, no sideline outs and the game is over in two plays. No FG try is possible. Im not sure why so many think this simple strategy was beyond our coaches to figure out.

I've said this over and over again since this happened . Tackle both Kelsey and Tyreek at the line and get a whopping 5 yard penalty and a 1st down to kill the clock at least 5 seconds for the first down then do it again the next play. The game would have been over on the 3rd play. And even that wouldn't have mattered had they squib kicked it and wasted 5 seconds maybe more on the kickoff. The players were spent and they failed to execute during the 13 seconds but the McD was the ultimately to blame for all of it. He needed to make sure that squib kick happened not the ST coach, He needed to confer with Frazier and work out the defensive plan and the some strategy and he utterly failed!
