    This year they did. It’s still officially one of the Bills uniforms, but teams aren’t allowed to wear their 3rd uni in the playoffs.

    I suspect, and I haven’t heard this anywhere, the Bills will showcase a new throwback uni next season and I think it will be the 90’s version with red helmets.

     

    Ive been waiting for that uniform since they killed it in 2002. I'd love that!

    Sirius NFL radio this morning said that refs or NY has different angles that we don’t get to see…my question is why don’t we get to see them, if in fact a particular angle shows definitive proof that the ball did in fact hit Freiermuth? The NFL needs to be more transparent, and at the very least we deserve an explanation in real time.

    Thats might be a convenient explanation by the NFL but is also guaranteed total BS. The camera angles are provided by the broadcaster not some double secret officials spy camera!  The NFL (as usual) is covering for its incompetent refs and its nonsensical rule book.

    If the ball touches his helmet while he was out of bounds, then the fumble is out of bounds.  That's the rule.  That would make what Cheffers said true.  

    Yes that's the rule but what a stupid rule it is. If the ball is in bounds and then an out of bounds player POSSESSES it then it should be deemed out of bounds. Not simply if they touch it. The Steelers player who fumbled it had no idea he even touched the ball (if it actually hit him) let alone possessed it.. In addition the play was not called a fumble in the first place. The officials seemed to not see the obvious fumble. So that should have been the call and Bill's recovery and Pittsburgh should have had to challenge it to say that an out of bounds player touched it, not the Bills. Instead the refs just made up some BS on the spot, No fumble, Yes Fumble oh yeah fumble that was touched by fumbling teams player so no change of possession. Absolutely ridiculous amateur hour officiating. and here's another question. if the player that first touches the ball on a fumble has just gone out of bounds then shouldn't it be illegally touching? (Like players who go out of bounds and then come back in on punt coverage?)

    He is still not changing levels at all.  He doesn't trust the knee.  This is his signature move...still hasn't even attempted it.

     

     

    Its actually quite sad to see this because he was so go at this move and now looks so tentative.  Is Miller snake bitten about trusting the knee? or did the surgery just not work the way it was supposed to?

    Norwood was 55% from 40+ yards before wide right.

     

    He was not good from distance.

     

    Yes and he was sometimes iffy on grass for some reason if memory serves but with all that he still was expected to make that kick in the SB. Maybe as fans we were a little oblivious to the statistical realities back then as there was no internet to check and worry about stats on a daily basis but we certainly had the perception that he was one of the better kickers in the league. 

  6. What a strange half. The Bills should be up at least 24-0 if not 28-0. But we are doing really well and Brady has been good. The Martin injury could be bad though and no I dont think its a crazy idea to get Araiza in immediately. Also the non fumble might be one of the worst and most inexplicable calls in playoff history. Up there with the tuck rule play for Brady!

  7. So how much snow ended up falling on the stadium? and for anyone helping to shovel, where were you supposed to shovel the snow to? the row below? to the stairs? or did they provide some sort of bins to collect it from each section. This seems like a nightmare to organize and physically extremely difficult. I almost think that using some sort of industrial vacuums like the kind they suck away old insulation from your attic might be good for snow. I'm assuming they know how to do all this based on many previous experiences over the years.

    You mean the NFC West, but yeah, I thought of Chris Berman too. When he was on the air regularly, he always wanted Buffalo and SF in the SB, which were his favorite two teams ("no team circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills!"). From 1988-1994, there seven SB's, with SF playing in 3 and Buffalo in 4, but never together.

    That 1992 NFC Championship where Dallas knocked out SF was a clash of the Titans. I can remember actually wanting Dallas rather than SF in the SB. I naively thought they would be a much easier matchup for the Bills.  Then they destroyed us in the game.
