If I was a betting man, I'd bet the house that Bills are in a new downtown stadium well before 2025.

I've noticed Dareus on the sidelines during "rotation" in games this year during key points in the game. Sorry...there is a time to rotate, and then there are times when your best players MUST be on the field.

You are not an idiot.

Tyrod threw the ball 36 times today? So when the Bills lose(like last week), it's okay to criticize the OC for ignoring Watkins the entire 2nd half, but when they win(like today), he can't be criticized? Once an idiot, always an idiot.

Because the OC is an IDIOT! To not figure out how to get the ball to him more is ridiculous.

I don't know what is worse...not throwing to Sammy very much(which we have seen many times this season), or targeting him in the first half of a game which led to a monumental first half and then pretending he doesn't exist in the 2nd half. Just brutal.

Wow. Even if the deadline had not passed, it is time to wake up from lala land and come back to reality.

^^^ This. He doesn't belong anywhere near Rex at any point in the game. What a joke. I'm done with Rex. I guess this goes to show why the owners should have little say during the head coach hiring process.

All I care about is when the Bills were trailing in the 4th quarter and they needed him to make plays, how effective was he?

If it wasn't for the moron on KC that tackled him towards the first down marker, he would have been 3 yards short. Either way, no first down, and unless there was room to spare, he should have thrown the ball.

Anytime your owners are involved with hiring anyone except for the executive VP in charge of football operations, it is a huge mistake. They shouldn't be involved with the interviewing or have any say in the hiring/firing of a GM/personnel guys/coaches. NONE.

...and with the game on the line...HE DID NOTHING!!!!

Rex brought in the scouting staff? HUH?

- Bad Offense - Bad Defense - Bad quarterbacking(Two key plays and he didn't throw the ball on either) - Bad coaching(Ignore Watkins like he never came out of the locker room for the 2nd half) - Bad challenges and non-challenges - Bad penalties(Hughes should have immediately been benched and then a ST penalty after that) THEIR PLAYOFF CHANCES JUST WENT UP IN FLAMES!

It would be different if both were playing at home at the same time. Instead both are on the road. Also, it is not like it is two "can't miss" games. The Sabres are playing there 16th of 82 games against a fairly irrelevant Florida team.

Who said the refs can't get together and discuss a call. That is an option on each and every play. Do they like to overrule a fellow official, probably not, but you do see it happen from time to time.

Maybe from his angle that is what he saw(was there a camera angle from where that ref was standing?)...and he didn't have the luxury of 10 different angles and super duper slo mo that those of us at home had prior to throwing the flag.

I'm going to take the refs side on this. There are 22 players on the field for every play x 100+ plays a game x 17 weeks of games. Of course bad calls are going to be made(even with replay in place). Would full-time officials help? Yes Would another 2 or 3 officials per game help? Yes Would simplifying the rules help(especially in regards to what is a catch)? Yes Would modification to replay help? Yes Will mistakes still be made? Absolutely. It's not an exact science.

Equally bad 3 play sequence...the last 3 offensive plays the Bills ran prior to games end.

Yes it was a BAD call. It also should not have led to the game winning score. They were playing one of the WORST teams in the NFL at a neutral site and should have put the game away long before this penalty occurred. You know what the difference was? - TURNOVERS - BAD QB PLAY - PENALTIES...AGAIN! - INABILITY OF THE DEFENSE TO STOP A HORRIBLE OFFENSE WITH THE GAME ON THE LINE AFTER FIGHTING BACK FROM A 24 POINT DEFICIT.

If Cassel plays decently, what does that say for all the posters who referred to him as "meh", and thought Manuel was the better option?

Good news...Bills down by 24 points but have ONLY committed 2 penalties

You mean like how the Pegula led Sabres fired Ted Nolan after one and a half seasons, yet somehow were able to hire a Stanley Cup winning coach...Dan Bylsma?

At least two posters have come to the conclusion that many of the late flags were a direct result of players "begging" for a call. I'd love to see some proof of this. More likely what fans are seeing is a ref who for whatever reason doesn't get the flag out of his pocket quickly....and therefore assumes it is a "late" flag. That being said, believe what you may.

What does that solve? Isn't Rex the one calling the plays on defense?
