The law firm of Cook, Johnson & Murray is performing quite nicely, I agree.

Does someone need a Waaaaambulance? Good grief, the drama…

Don’t waste money on the no-ads version if you’re only subscribing to watch this game. I signed up for premium and will cancel it next week. $5.99 to watch a Bills game is a no-brainer.

When Floyd first came out he looked like he was favoring his ribs on the left side…hopefully nothing significant.

If you think the environment at SoFi will be “sterile” I have some news for you…that place will be rocking with Bills fans…

He’s one of the most athletic guys on the team.

I'm trying, but i'm not seeing your logic.

To those who say the offense is “rewarded” when they fumble the ball out of bounds…what about all the times the ball is fumbled backwards? Additionally, the offense loses a down. Sometimes the fumble results in a first down or gains yards, and sometimes it loses yards. The bottom line is still that the defense doesn’t get the ball because they didn’t possess it. My rule proposal is a rule based upon where the play began: If the starting LOS is at or inside the 10 yard line, the ball is placed at the 10 and the offense retains possession with a loss of down. If the starting LOS is outside the 10 yard line, the ball is placed at the 20 and it is 1st and 10. If the fumble is during a return (punt, kickoff, fumble or interception), the ball goes to the 20 and that team takes possession, 1st and 10.

The offense isn’t “rewarded” when they fumble the ball out of bounds…they simply retain possession because the defense didn’t take it away. Nobody fumbles on purpose to gain an advantage — at least not since they changed the rule on advancing a fumble late in the game. Sorry, just not seeing your logic here.

The big deal is that the defense didn’t recover the ball yet they receive a huge, game-changing reward. Maybe the revised rule should be that a team fumbling the ball through the end zone keeps possession but the LOS moves to the 20-yard line — or something like that.

When a team kicks off or punts they are intentionally relinquishing the ball to the other team. It is anything other than "perfect sense" that a fumble out of the endzone is treated the same way.

I see several people in this thread saying it's a great rule, but nobody can logically explain why. What has the defense done to deserve to possess the ball that is different from what happens when a player fumbles out of bounds?

Why should fumbling into the end zone be different than fumbling out of bounds? It’s an insane rule that makes no sense on any level. The defense hasn’t “earned” the right to possess the ball. The only question is where to spot the ball for the next play, and placing it where the player fumbled or at the previous LOS are the two options that make the most sense to me.

White helmet, blue jersey, white pants has been the Bills’ primary home kit since their inception. If that isn’t “classic” I don’t know what is…

If you want to call them both “bad” losses that’s fine, but IMO what happened to the Fish was so much worse from a psychological standpoint.

Jesus. That's terrible.

I think the 3rd tiebreaker is conference record.

Yeah, that’s how I’m looking at it as well. It would not shock me to see the Fish completely collapse. That loss on Monday night was inexcusable, and worse than anything the Bills have done. Their offense with a gimpy Hill is pedestrian, and their defense is average.

If we win the division (which seems to be the clearest path to the playoffs), the first game is at home. Dallas game is ginormous. Win that, and the pressure on the Fish will be intense.

Yep. Thank god he didn’t hurt anyone else.

Anyone who celebrates injuries is a complete schmuck. These guys lay it all the line to make as much bank as they can over an average of 4-5 years. Oh, and Squish the Fish.

Sucks if they blindsided him with this, but I'll say he has really dropped off over the last couple of years. Happens to the best of 'em and he's a legend at his craft.

I think if the kid has a brain in his head he understands that no team could keep him on their roster once that stuff came out. I'd be surprised if he holds any ill will towards Beane or the Bills.

I don't understand your question. I think the post is self-explanatory.

We will be there as well. Definitely. The Jets looked like a professional football team last Sunday. They destroyed Houston.
