“By more than one.” Hold Hill and double Kelce as opposed to let everyone run free.

Imagine scoring a TD w/ 13 seconds left and not being sure if you left too much time on the clock. This is so *****.

I wanted very badly to give up extra capital to get roquan smith. Even though there were Like 6 picks apart , roquan has about twice the impact. Are people finally seeing TE is not an impact player?

Big DT and a natural MLB will make this defense elite. (Not fake elite). And IOL. That’s my wishlist.

I like how this board goes from “he deserves a HC job” to “good riddance mother%#&&er.” 😂 I’m with you guys though.

This d isn’t half of what 99 was. Not physical at all. Course buffalo rips our hearts out.

That’s what literally everyone in the bills bar was saying. Hold them, don’t let them off the line. It made no sense no to do it.

Prevent defense ***** us. Why would you do that??

Pulling for Stafford.

Some awesome locations. It’d be interesting to hear everyone’s story on how you ended up there or how you began to follow the Bills living in a foreign country. But I suppose that’s a whole different thread. GL today all.

Titans win by DD. 33-17.

How about yards after contact? It's crazy how many tackles he breaks.

If both teams try to control the clock to keep the others offense off of the field, I could definitely see a 24-20 game.

I think if we win the turnover battle we win. If it's even, I expect it to be close.

Just to be clear, I didn't say "you" were framing it. I clearly said "they" (nice try to you though!) Either way, It's a misleading stat. I never implied that any refs were on the take. I just think they're bad. And I think if you get in their wallet, they wouldn't be as bad. That's my take. Pretty simple really. And you disagree. It's all good.

I'm not talking about clean plays. If they wan't to frame their 99% accuracy rate around every single play, that is a misleading stat. I'm talking about plays that involved a flag or a play where there was foul, but no flag. What % of those are accurate and consistent with every other call they make. It seems calls vary week to week on what is a penalty and what is not. I see it. Even commentators have mentioned it during broadcast. If you think NFL reffing is A+ and there is no room for improvement, then I believe you may be one the very few. I believe it is a broken system and there is much room for improvement. I believe harsher pay grades would help. Doubt it will ever happen, but that is my view.

99% accuracy on all calls? Do you honestly feel like that is true? They make the same calls on a consistent week 99% of the time? Thank you for the link, but I am understanding what you have reiterated. I responded to this earlier by saying there is NOT ENOUGH accountability and NOT ENOUGH penalty. Not getting the extra playoff game is hardly a penalty. You could argue that some of the crews working the playoff games are equally as bad as the ones who are not.

Ok so you meant to say get rid of "on field" refs. Huge difference. A ref in office is still a ref. And I am a fan of that idea. I'm speaking about penalties affecting human behavior altogether. Whether crime or occupation, accountability improves results. I'm not saying all refs are intentionally calling unfair games or making terrible calls in every game. Are some games? Yes, without a doubt. I've seen it for and against Buffalo. And I disagree, I believe if an unfairly reffed game directly affects the amount they get paid, they will call a more fair game. And yes, I know that each game is reviewed and graded. But then what? If they screw up, then what? They issue an apology? And yes, I know no sports league holds refs accountable through fines or decreased pay. What I'm saying is they should.

Fallon is all fake laughs and table slaps.

🤔..... 😅

Want to get rid of crime? Get rid of law enforcement. I never implied that idea, I'm not sure why you said that. I explicitly said law does not remove crime and penalty does not remove human error. But it decreases it. If you knew 100% without a doubt, if you were to rob a bank and wouldn't get caught, would you do it? You and many others might say no. But there are many others who would. The penalty of going to prison, doesn't stop robberies from happening, but it decreases it. If you knew you were on the hot seat at work, would you pay extra attention to detail and be careful not to make any extra errors? Say if you were a teacher and were accused of treating students unfairly and at risk of losing your job, would you be mindful to treat everyone equally? Shorting the till? I never mentioned that either. I will repeat what I said. In most restaurants, probably 90% , if you ring in an order wrong, all you have to do is re-ring it and they comp the food off of the ticket. But in the other 10%, if you ring in the order wrong, they make you pay for the food. And in those restaurants, the comp % is substantially lower. Why do you think that is? And that is my point. If referees knew they were going to be penalized (more than not getting called for big games, that is more like not getting your bonus check) for not calling a fair game, the games would be called more fairly. There is ZERO game to game accountability. I'm saying there should be review, transparency and grades. And pay should be dependent on those grades.

They would be thinking "I need to call this game as evenly as possible". (See end of Bills/Bucs) I know there are many who think that Hughes is treated unfairly, not getting holding calls when he should. I am not saying I am one them, I haven't taken a deep enough look, but I also would not dismiss it. But say it was happening in a certain game, a film review and grade would show they were not making the same calls on player A as player B (Hughes). I don't see how you don't think that would lead to a more fairly officiated game. It's fine if they call a loose game, I actually prefer less flags. But call it the same way. -No, refs are not fined or held accountable at all in any sport. The system is broken. I'm throwing out ideas -I don't think you can compare refs and players. A bang bang helmet to helmet happens and you get fined. And a 10k fine is like a happy meal to some NFL players wallets. I think it's more the penalty that may cost their team the game that they're thinking about, rather than the fine. But penalizing people for mistakes has an effect. Tickets don't solve speeding and other violations, but they help cut them down. Some restaurants make employees pay for the food if they ring it wrong. It doesn't mean the employees rang it in wrong on purpose, but if they know they have to pay for it, they are going to make less errors.

I'm saying there needs to be more repercussion than just them not getting the premium games. And I don't just mean fining them for bad calls, that I was saying to reinforce my point. I was thinking more like grading their performance overall and paying on that. If they called a very fair, consistent game they get a top grade and get top pay. And at the other end, if they called an inconsistent and unfair game they get a bottom grade and bottom pay. At the very least it would lead to a more fair game called. Also yes, I am also a fan of the refs having to sit in a post game press conference with video. Transparency and accountability.

Because money and pain are the two things that influence human behavior the most. If the referee that threw the flag on Levi Wallace vs TB in OT knew he was going to be docked say 25k for an egregious call like that, I doubt he throws that flag. If Tony Corrente knew he was going to get fined say 50k or even better knew he was going to be "retired" for throwing an extremely controversial flag on Cassius Marsh (the ref hip check taunting penalty) , I highly doubt he throws that flag. Yes there are bang bang calls the will get wrong. Maybe not penalize for those. But heinous calls (Saints vs Rams NFCC and many others like). Google "blindside blocks Bills-Texans" or "Saints-Texans". Those flags are travesties. You hold refs accountable and they won't throw questionable flags, that might cost them money. It's all about accountability.

The could fulfill the prophecy and become The Chefs.
