  1. I get this. It seems like a trend. Might be concerning, but who knows. But let's talk about this trend a bit. What does data suggest that the Bills lost by one score to the Titans last year, and came back and tattooed them 41-7 this year? What does data suggest that the Bills lost by one score to the Patriots last year, and then came back and tattooed them TWICE in that same season? I would all but guarantee they blow out Miami this December, barring a Josh Allen injury. The data suggests that we lost by one score to the Chiefs, when almost every team the Chiefs play, loses. Not sure how to interpret the data. But, they've certainly avenged a few of those once score games by blowing the team out the next time they played. And in the one game, they lost the coin flip. One was to the GOAT Brady and the Bucs. One was on the road to the AFC #1 seed. I mean, is it really unexpected? They laid an egg in Jax and vs. Pitt last year. What good team doesn't somewhere along the way? We need to pull out a game or two for sure, but really, they've avenged almost all of them except getting over the KC hump when it counts.
  2. LMAO. OK. It's happened way more times with a QB under center than with one in shotgun. But OK. Again, I'll go with Eric Wood on this one. QB's fumble the snap all of the time while under center. It really doesn't happen that much in Shotgun. You get imperfect snaps sometimes, but really, it doesn't even happen that much......at all. No biggie. I'm done with this.
  3. I get it. And several don't disagree. I guess we will wait for the NFL apology today on the play?
  4. How do you not buy something that a really good former center just explained? I've been watching football for about 40 years, and can really count on one hand the number of times "backup centers snap the dang ball over the QB's head in shotgun formation and it results in either a turnover or huge loss of yardage". It's definitely happened before, but it really doesn't happen all that often. Hell, I could just as easily say that I've seen backup centers have bad snaps with the QB under center as well. Hell, it happened yesterday. I'm going with Eric Wood on this one.
  5. Except that it wasn't a catch, and thus, by the original poster's logic would be an indefensible action by a Head Coach he is questioning. What you are describing above is calling a strategic timeout. OK, fair enough. Not a bad idea. Not really a great one to burn timeouts either. Timeouts came in handy at the end of the game. Not sure burning another one would have been all that smart. But it makes some sense as well. Bottom line is this. The challenge in the Titans game was fine. He had very little time to challenge the play, and quite frankly the angles that were first made available seemed like the Titans player didn't get two feet down. He challenged on his gut feel and from replays in the stadium. So be it. He lost one. Early in the game. Not all that big of a deal. And yesterday, he could have challenged the Davis play. He would have lost the challenge. The catch was not completed. It was close, but there's no way that would have been overruled. It certainly wouldn't have been a brutal attempt at a challenge. But he didn't. Big Deal. They had plenty of chances to win that game yesterday. I thought despite some mistakes, that every coach makes, in every NFL game every week, the Bills staff did pretty well yesterday all things considered. They dominated offensively. They dominated defensively. They just couldn't finish. Pains me to say that, because I'm no Leslie Frazier fan by any means. But really, they played pretty well considering the roster. Losing close games is starting to be a concern for sure. A couple of challenges here and there so far this year is pretty stupid if you ask me. The potential challenge yesterday was by no means clear cut. Especially when the call on the field was made the other way. What really irks me about yesterday, is that I thought the Dolphins were going to roll the Bills. How could a team that has Tyreek Hill, Waddle, and Geisicki not? Well, Tua still isn't all that great. Miami is mediocre. Period. If Josh was the Miami QB, they would have scored 50 on the Bills. I fell into the trap that the Dolphins were a better team than they are. They really aren't. And when I realized that this Dolphins team was just mediocre again, it kind of pissed me off that we lost a game to an inferior opponent even though we were ridiculously banged up. The Bills will slowly get healthier, and steamroll through the back end of their schedule. It's going to be a bumpy road the next couple of weeks. Just hope it doesn't cost them homefield advantage in the playoffs. They will roll Miami in December.
  6. I agree with some of your points here. Clearly. But just to muck it up a bit, if his challenge of a clear Titans catch last week was indefensible, how the hell wouldn't a challenge on this week's Gabe Davis NOT touchdown catch also not be indefensible if he challenged it? It was clearly NOT a touchdown.
  7. Have to admit. Went in Gate 2. I agree with rags. Not a single thing changed from previous years. Same look. Same procedures. And absolutely no lines 60 minutes prior to kickoff. Walked right through with nobody in front of us.
  8. I see ya there Josh. I friggin love it. Josh still playing with a chip on that shoulder. Sit down #5. Overrated POS. Man, I can't wait until Monday Night. It's gonna be juiced at Highmark!
  9. I was at this game, and it was, and still is, easily one of the loudest (if not the loudest) games I've ever bee to in Buffalo. The atmosphere was incredible.
  10. I have a question. I had DTV for like 20 years or more. I had it because, obviously, I need to watch the Bills in Virginia. I mistakenly got rid of the dish one year too early, and the only way I could go back is to sign a new 2 year agreement, which I'm not doing. So, I found a college student, slipped him a $20 and got the streaming college discount and I'm good. But I do have a pretty extensive mancave. I have three TV's on the main wall in order to watch three games at once. When I had the DTV dish working, I always watched the Bills through the Genie receiver. No problems. Then, the app for the smart TV on the left hand side of the room always had another game on. No problems there. Since I had no other receivers I always then had to watch the local game on the third TV. I used to have 4 receivers but I started to stream and started to cut down on the DTV bill, so I was stuck to this method. You couldn't log in to a second location through the app. It would kick you out of the other app. My question is this. Does anyone know if the Streaming Version (College Student Version) will let me log in to more than one location at a time to watch multiple games at once? Or, will I have to find another college student, and thus pay another $119, for each TV that I want to have unlimited access to all games? I think this makes sense.
