Tyson? Really? Drama queens on TBD get a grip. Tyson is a convicted rapist and has threatened to eat people's children, bitten a man's ear off... want to add to the list?

Alright, well mark that down as one tackle he missed. But if you're going to keep a tally, be fair and keep a full one. It was a bad play, but he rarely misses tackles. He is one of the surest tacklers on the team. And it was still an impressive play to get over there. Yes, he needs to finish, as you've noted.

They definitely played well in the first half, bearing in mind that it was the Tennessee Titans. It seemed to me like it really kicked into another gear though after Tyrod scored. It was a noticeable switch IMO. The corners and secondary, in general, were unbelievably good and couldn't have played better for the entire game. Again, Titans receivers, but they were still flawless.

Well said. It is disgusting that we have to expect make up calls to happen, and we accept that they are a legitimate part of the game. They are a disgrace to the game's integrity, and the NFL referees, as a whole, should be embarrassed.

The offense gets better in the second half after Roman takes the handcuffs off. That's encouraging. The defense FINALLY started playing elite in the second half of this game, getting after it, hustling to the ball, and being aggressive. That's encouraging. There is a lot that needs to be cleaned up, and Roman needs to not game plan this offense to death, but there's plenty to be excited about.

This. If you didn't see it, don't call it. No excuses for this ref. There have to be consequences for things like this. If I go into my job tomorrow and completely F up, there are consequences. Why is there no measure of accountability for NFL officials to do their jobs? Missing a call is one thing. Calling bogus penalties that have a heavy odor of trying to directly impact the game is another. There should be consequences. I don't think this is that much of a stretch. There have been calls that have been more impactful because they have happened in bigger situations, but this is about as bad as it gets in terms of just flagging someone for no reason. Throwing an "unnecessary roughness" on a perfectly legal tackle, IMO, is the worst call that can be made. It's a chicken call and a disgrace to the men who are out there actually playing the game.

Awful call for so many reasons. It wasn't a penalty. No grounds for a call. At all. It was a tackle. Critical situation. You have to make a team earn it. Stop giving teams easy first downs on third and long. It felt like a makeup call because they didn't throw the flag for Bradham's tackle, but they did throw the flag for the horsecall on Tyrod, neither of which were penalties. Somehow, it seems like NFL refs feel that make up calls are OK. Here's the hit again: https://vine.co/v/e097JhW6mUW If players are fined for penalties after games, like Hughes was this week, this referees should be fined for non penalties, as well. Their pay needs to be docked for things like this. It's out of control.

If it's between him and Dixon, confused as to why we aren't giving him more carries. Dixon is awful as a RB.

Go away.

Glad to see that everyone seems to be seeing the same things. Should have been blitzing more all day. Started to at the end. Mariota looked every bit of the rookie he is today, expecially with the pressure in his face. Should have been dialing it up. I think Roman is game planning himself to death and failing to adjust quickly enough. I feel like he has the whole first half scripted and doesn't want to deviate regardless of what happens. In the second half, he let Tyrod be Tyrod. Also, his play calls on our last offensive possession before the kneel down were ugly. On second down, that was the perfect opportunity to throw for the first. Clock was running down to 2 min warning anyways, so inc pass did not matter. Instead, we ran it with cement shoes Dixon for nothing, then tried to throw on third down when they knew it was coming. Luckily, the defense bailed out Roman after that and today in general. The Titans are not a good team. Our offense needs to get better.

He deserves more touches after today for sure.

Any word on how Tyrod's ankle is doing? Absent real running backs this week, it would be nice if they can game plan in some Tyrod runs to compensate. Guessing we may also be using the short passing game (bubbles to Sammy?) as a partial substitute for running, as well.

Clearly Tyrod Taylor does not meet the NFL's criteria for being eligible for a late hit on the QB, so no need to look out for that one. Might as well see if there are some phantom calls on the line they can make against the Bills instead.

I like the optimism! I'm buying.

Yep. That was quite the turning point. If I had to put the critical moment on one play, that would have been it. I'm generally in agreement with this. I was very disappointed with Roman's game plan. I am hopeful they'll get it figured out, though. On your second point, everyone needs to take that into account much more than they are. The Giants are a solid team. They are going to be contending for their division. That team is no pushover. We're 2-2 everyone. Chill. If we are 2-4, that's a good time to be concerned.

Oh yeah. That's probably a good call. Momentum turning great play, on Buffalo, 15 yard penalty, automatic kick in the balls.

Too much real in this post!! Now I'm bummed. I just want the Bills to get one superbowl before I go apple picking on Sunday. Just one please!!

I think people who know what they're watching out there get this. So many designed routes that were short of the line to gain. Looks like Roman is out thinking himself and trying to count on YAC from his play design. Call routes that get you where you need to be man. Also, occasionally, just let your QB play. Don't game plan him to death.

And I mean, we're arguing over whether his finger tips touched slightly below the waist. The defender wasn't even CHOPPED down. Keep the flag in your pocket Nancy. It's football.

Our punt return team is just abysmal. Every single punt, there are 3 different colored jerseys just running free waiting to tag Thigpen is he even dares a return. Can anyone on that team throw a block, or even slow someone down??

He sure did. Excellent tackling, as well. Gilmore ought to be looking at what he's doing. He had a few nice breakups today, but some real soft tackling. Darby, on the other hand, was a beast.

Hot take! Coming in hot!

Horrible, horrible call. To throw that flag and take a touchdown off the board... just a soft, weak, NFL ref style call.

Absolutely terrible play calling by roman today. Call plays that put you where you need to be. Trying to design for YAC is out thinking yourself

Lot of game left Dork
