  1. Seen a lot of OG's doing that this year, including the Bills. All's I can think is that it's a timing thing for the snap.
  2. Obviously want the Chargers to win, but that's a bad call.
  3. #32 for the Chargers was too busy celebrating to see that the play was still live.
  4. Especially when you have 1st and goal from the five and can't get it in on the first three tries.
  5. Sorry, you gotta get points there. 3 is better than nothing.
  6. Per NFLN. Also, Colts/Vikings @ 1PM, Ravens/Browns @ 4:30PM
  7. Undefeated is undefeated. You can only beat the teams on your schedule. In what other sport can a team go UNDEFEATED yet NOT even get in the playoffs? If those teams know from day one, no matter what they do, they can't qualify for a chance at a championship, why should they bother playing at all? We see teams in the NFL that win their division while finishing under .500. In baseball, for the longest time, you had to win your division to make the playoffs. Half of the teams in the NHL and more than half of the teams in the NBA make their respective playoffs. Yet, in college football, because the rest of a teams' conference may not be great, they punish an undefeated team. Not right, IMO. What if, using your example, Tulane finishes undefeated and they're the team that beats Ohio State? You still putting OSU in, even though Tulane has a H2H win? This all highlights my issue with the committee. It's currently based on opinions of who's better than who. The expansion should help, as I can't imagine any undefeated team being left out in that situation, regardless of what conference they come from.
  8. Honestly, this is why I can't be bothered to pay much attention to college football. Every year, there's teams lobbying to get in (like Saban talking about Alabama's "3 game winning streak") and more often than not, the committee decides based on which teams are better for the revenue, instead of better on the field. It's insane to me that a team can go undefeated, yet a team with 1-2 losses still gets in over them. I know that's not the case this year, but it has happened in the past. There really needs to just be a set of tiebreakers that determines who is in and who is out, instead of people in a room somewhere deciding. I'd also argue that teams should be able to refuse to play in their Conference "Championship" game. Most of the time, the teams playing have everything to lose, with little or nothing to gain, while teams that don't make the games can sit, watch and possibly get bumped up over teams while they do nothing on their own to earn a spot.
  9. The Bills won because a couple hours after I acquired tickets, the front right tire on my vehicle blew. That forced me to spend the better part of Friday night/Saturday getting the car towed, finding out that the tire couldn't be replaced until Monday, getting a rental car and getting back to my house only to get up at 6AM to drive up to Detroit in order to see this game live. "Find a way," Humble and hungry" and "Don't blink" all came into play. Even as I type this, I'm still recovering a bit from the whirlwind that was this past weekend. But, in the end, we got there and the Bills got the win, so it was worth every minute.
  10. On one hand, personally, I really like this look. I just feel the white on white is too plain looking, even though I know others like it. On the other, I'm pretty superstitious, so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit worried about them wearing this combo. The good news is, the Josh Allen led Bills are undefeated on Thanksgiving while wearing blue pants. Yes, they wore blue jerseys against Dallas and New Orleans, but they had no choice in jersey color, since they're the road team. They do, however, get a choice in pants color, so apparently, they're choosing to wear the blue pants.
  11. First two words of Marv's fight song, but one word.
  12. I didn't and got in. I must have guessed it, lol, I got in.
  13. In this type of instance, I'd argue that the tickets shouldn't even be transferable. Would cut down on people just buying tickets in an attempt to flip them for a profit.
  14. Seconded. I have the app, so will have to wait until 5. Looking to hopefully grab 3 tickets, as Detroit is only a couple hours drive for me.
  15. I get that everyone involved is in a mad scramble, but is it too much to ask to get a price range? Certainly they know how much they're charging by now.
  16. In 2014, when the Bills "hosted" the Jets, they had the Bills logo at midfield, along with wordmarks in the endzones Of course, they got new turf in 2019, so dunno if that would affect how easy/hard it is to remove/reapply before Thursday.
  17. That should be the end of the Malik Willis experiment. Can't take those sacks.
  18. Interesting that they cut their only PS Safety in order to sign a 3rd WR to the PS. Hopefully, that's a good sign regarding Poyer's availability.
  19. I know in baseball, a lot of times, the starting pitcher decides which jersey to wear for that day. Was curious who decided for football. Now, I know that the home team gets the choice of jersey (white or color) and the road team has to adjust based on that, but the question in my head was "who actually decides? The owner? Head Coach? QB? Players vote?" Closest answer I got was this. Long story short, it varies, pending on the team: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Journal/Issues/2013/08/19/Franchises/Uniforms-who-decides.aspx Keep in mind, this is from August, 2013. So, not a shocker that the Bills had "Committee with representatives from ticketing, marketing and football operations" making the decision. I'm guessing ticketing and marketing have less of a say these days.
