Cynical

You should have. At least you would have some understanding of what the hell you talking about before you started this thread. Rule 8, Section 1, Page 39 "When a player is in control of the ball and is attempting to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his hand starts a forward pass. (a) If the passer is attempting to throw a forward pass, but contact by an opponent materially affects him, causing the ball to go backward, it is a forward pass, regardless of where the ball strikes the ground, a player, an official, or anything else." That right there pretty much sums it up. It's the same thing Dean Blandino said in his explanation of the call.

While not 100% centralized, the NFL already does something pretty similar. All replays come from a centralized location in NY. What replay view is shown to the on the field official is decided by the guys in NY. "Replay Central in New York will not only cue up the right replays for the refs to see. Blandino and Riveron will be able to tell the refs when a replay is obvious—either right or wrong—and so when the ref gets under the hood he won’t have to waste time looking at every angle of an obvious call." http://mmqb.si.com/2014/09/01/nfl-instant-replay-review-changes-mailbag/

And there is your biggest misconception. A Championships is just the goal. But that's not what drives him. Saban is driven by the "process" and the constant refinement of it. Literally. He's methodical, relentless, and constantly looking for ways to improve. He's like a frigging machine. At the end of the year, if the team wins a championship, it's great for the players and the fans. If the team fails to win a championship, it sucks for the players and the fans. Either way, for him, it's back to step 1 of the "process". It will not matter. He will not move. He's already hinted that NFL teams have come poking around before, and he's told them no. No matter what Blank and Dimitroff can offer him, they cannot offer him the one thing he has at the college level: full control. At the college level, he does not have to worry about contracts, free agency, draft position, and players egos.

I can honestly say, you know absolutely nothing about Saban.

Sad, isn't it? The obsession over RI reminds me of the obsession some posters here had on Brad Butler.

You must have missed the Jauron years.

Yep. IMHO, anybody expecting Pegula to clean house if the Bills fail to make the playoffs this year are going to be sadly disappointed.

That was definitely intentional.

abrupt 1 a : characterized by or involving action or change without preparation or warning : unexpected abrupt adjective 1. sudden or unexpected: Synonyms 1, 3. quick, sharp. See sudden. 2. short, hurried, hasty, blunt. 4. discontinuous, broken, uneven. Let me guess, are you now going to try say Henderson's twitch(es) was(were) slow? That's why the KC guy who jumped and about 2 other teammates pointed right at Henderson. Henderson must have been shouting the snap count.

8 pages debating a penalty that actually took place. Henderson moved - twice. The vine video somebody posted earlier clearly shows Henderson moved his right leg and then his left leg/hip. It's the left leg that caused the KC guy to jump. Some people want to claim the snap count made the KC guy jump. Heck, Maybe Henderson reacted to the snap count. Regardless, he moved. Is officiating inconsistent? Yes it is. At pretty much all levels of sport. It's called the "human element". People make mistakes, and yes, officials are people. Here's the video again: https://vine.co/v/Oi76lFauM3U

Once the Bills start winning consistently, the "phantom" calls will stop. Well, they will not actually stop, you just won't care, especially during a win.

Great. Some team will offer him a job. That still does not equate into Malzahn being a good to great NFL HC. And he could just easily be another Spurrier or Saban.

College football is not equal to pro football. Great, he can move the ball. How about stopping another team from moving it? If by formation and scheme you mean putting 12 men on the field ... First, I realize Chip Kelly has become the new NFL "sensation". But the guy hasn't won anything yet. How about we wait another 2-3 years and see how he is doing then. I will give Kelly this: he has stated multiple times he adjusts his offense to the players he has. Just because an NFL team is willing to throw big money at a hot college coach does not mean said hot college coach will amount to squat in the NFL.

How did that work out? Last I checked, Kiffin is an OC at the collegiate level. He couldn't cut it as a HC (pro or college). Just because somebody takes a chance on a hot college coach does not mean said hot college coach is automatically going to be a good to great NFL HC.

http://thebiglead.com/2014/11/01/auburn-got-away-with-12-men-on-the-field-against-ole-miss/ You think that's one time hiccup? Think again ... SST Radio Show @SSTRadio · 4h 4 hours ago Wow! Confirmed now that Auburn ran 4 plays vs. Ole Miss with 12 men on the field. How bad was that officiating crew?

So? Dick Vermeil was out of football for 15 years when he was hired by the Rams. Can't disagree with that. LeBeau is a phenomenal DC. And to think, the Bills had him for one year. GW should have kicked Jerry Gray to the curb and kept LeBeau. There have been numerous "creative college coaches" that have failed in the NFL. Hackett and Maronne decided they were going to be "creative" when they decided last year to run an uptempo no huddle offense with a rookie QB and 2 rookie WR. How did that work out? Um, no thanks. IMHO, he would be a complete disaster at the pro level. He gets away with a ton of BS at the collegiate level.

Jesus. If you think DLR looks bad, take a peek at Eddie Van Halen.

Don't want to burst your bubble, but ... It only took him 3 years to figure that out. Wood and Levite were drafted in 2009. And how could someone forget DJ trying to implement the no-huddle in 2009 with Levitre (rookie LG), Wood (rookie RG), Hangartner ©, Langston Walker (an adequate slow footed RT switched to LT) / D. Bell (a 2008 7th round developmental prospect, a/k/a "revolving door", as LT) and Brad Butler (an injury prone mediocre RG switched to RT). Yeah, even a blind squirrel can find a nut.

As a present a Comsuck customer, you should be happy they sent you a letter. I never got one when they EOL/EOS my modem. Bottom line, you are going to have to upgrade. If you have already been notified your modem as reached EOL (12/13), than EOS (End of Support) will take place. What does that mean? No "Internets" for you unless you upgrade. http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/end-of-life-devices/

Not quite. The 3k car was owned for 2 years and never got out of the driveway. The 6k car lasted 5 years and for at least one year provided reliable transportation.

They will? You think Spygate will not cast a cloud on that? Or 18-1?

Pick one.

There is no conspiracy or collusion. Walt Coleman has a history of controversial calls. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Coleman The particular incident you speak of ("just give it to them.") happened in 1998, IIRC. In 1998, there was no instant replay. Officiating that year was a complete joke. Google Testeverde Helmet Touchdown. There will always be controversy regarding officiating. Always has been. I can remember when Bills fans used to B word about the officiating when Dolphins were kicking our ass pretty consistently. Their rationale for their bitching? Don Shula was on the Rules Committee.

I did not like trade based on what we gave up for him and this "win now" mode the Bills want to be in. Typically, WR take 2-3 years to develop. http://www.nfl.com/fantasy/story/0ap2000000363811/article/20-things-fantasy-owners-should-know-before-drafting "Are you in love with Sammy Watkins? Do you think Mike Evans and Brandin Cooks are a lock to thrive in 2014? Well, you might want to tap the brakes." "... of the five rookie receivers to post 1,000-plus yards since 2000, just two have done it in the last seven years." Lets take a look at that. There were 485 WR drafted from 2000 to 2014, only FIVE posted 1,000+ yards in their rookie year. FIVE. You know what the percentage is? 0.0103092783505155 = 1% Expecting Watkins to have some kind of "immediate impact" in his rookie year is laughable. It ignores reality. Watkins may very become the superstar we hope he can become, it just will not happen in 2014.

Syracuse can still make that claim because there is no other college in NY state that plays with the "big boys". UB might be trying to get there, but until they get out of the MAAC, and start winning consistently, Syracuse has nothing to worry about,
