Yup. Just got the NFL update on my phone. EDIT: As was said a few posts back; Make him beat you thru the air. If so we have a damn good chance for a big win on the road. GO BILLS !

Excellent point. According to Ben Maller; the NFL has indeed told the networks to show less of the Antics. I cant confirm or deny this but he did mention this on last nights broadcast.

Thanks for the super input everyone. Must say: very surprised with the answers and learning that I'm not the only one annoyed with all the stuff you guys have brought up. According to Fox sports radio over-nighter Ben Maller; week 3 ratings (excluding Monday night) were down somewhere between 10-15%. He seems to think it is mainly due to the Anthem kneelers going on to say that 44% of those surveyed responded very negatively to these antics. Whatever the case....if this continues the NFL may have a biit of an issue on their hands. In business a 10% downturn is significant. Many thanks everybody. GO BILLS !

Very Funny post !

Excellent take. Thank you.

Absolutely, but advertisers will likely make noise if this continues; for whatever the reason.

I'm sure you're right but thats probably a fairly stable percentage I am uncertain how it all works. I've never gotten a call from a ratings geek. They probably check thru the wires these days but I watch via air signal...when I watch. Just something to keep an eye on. I was surprised to hear the story on this.

They (ratings)seem to be slipping early on here in the 2016-17 season. I'm guessing most here are not in this population of folks tuning out. They are saying its the Kaepernick thing and the NFL encouraging the Anthem antics. Who knows? Games have been one-sided too...doesn't help. A lot of cord cutters (of cable and satellite ) may be a contributor as well. At some point this may come to a head from those paying 700K for a 30 second spot. Myself..I've tuned out for none-of-the-above but instead due to the lack of flow to the games and an anemic pace due to excessive commercials. Just an observation on my part, thats all. “The league has now seen an apple-to-apples ratings drop in each of the seven prime-time games this year,” http://dailycaller.com/2016/09/21/nfl-tv-ratings-down-again/ GO BILLS !

I've gotta say the kid looks very comfortable back there. Like he belongs. He just out-muscled Kiko and avoided a sack too.

Very much this: ^^^

If you believe what they are saying, Roman was let go for not properly utilizing the talents of Tyrod and the elite offensive weapons on the offense. So I agree, his athleticism needs to be show-cased to keep defenses guessing. I reckon we'll look good against the cards if for no other reason; there is no book out yet on our new OC. GO BILLS. We're still in the hunt ! Lol !

Excellent thread. Many thanks for taking the time to put this all in one place.

I've got to agree with this. Only thing I can figure is they feel they can go deep into the playoffs with some semblance of a passing game to compliment Adrian who is still a beast. But man, thats still a kings ransom. Good luck to the Vikes, I'm bummed about Teddy. I like the kid.

Agree, but I'm not sure Reggie belongs on that list. I "think" he's more of a 3rd down specialist than a 2 or 3 down back. Of course I could be wrong on this too.

I think we made a mistake like this years ago. Injury riddled running back. Bad knee. Missed a whole year. His name was Thurmal. Not sure whatever happened to him. ps...Love this pick.

Obviously !

Just curious if there are any other consumers of the winter seasonal Genesee Bock Beer. I'm a buyer of large quantities each year. My favorite. This years batch seems to be off. Not tasting right. At all. Am I the only one ? I'd appreciate any opinions on the 2016 batch of Genny Bock. Many thanks everybody.

Absolutely love to see him get a ring. One of the NFL good guys for sure. A Fine human.

Damnit man. Praying hard for Mort.

Oh man, that is sad. Something definitely not right. Been watching his analysis for many years. I hope he'll be OK.

Kinda funny, listening to the pre-game (radio) this morning. Mark Kelso and Murph both picked the Jets to win whereas all season prior to this they took the Bills. NFL=total unpredictability. Lol ! EDIT" Right on Glorybound, Fouts is an excellent human, and a great QB in his day. He can say whatever he wants...I'll listen !

Its not that hard to say a player was unsuccessful...after the fact. As you have just done...But, I dont really care at this point. Cassel is gone, EJ will be out of football soon and We still dont have a QB that is "deep into playoffs" caliber. Although, Tie Rod was a little better than the past few we've suffered thru...except for Orton perhaps?..... but he hung up his cleats..

I'm a stubborn enough old bastid that I want them to win every time they step on the field. I'll probably throw things at the TV....as normal even though we are only hanging by a thread !

Tastes like chicken !

Agree. A couple of other things: If you recall early in the season, Rex publicly called him out. I think "maybe" Rex is in his head...mental thing. Additionally, you guys all saw the holder mess up the hold yesterday on the missed FG. Not saying Carp isn't struggling but there may be factors causing it that are not readily apparent. and yes, I think he'll come out of it. Not sure who could replace him at this point that would be a whole lot better either.
