D. L. Hot-Flamethrower

We won't get an honest response anyway.

He did and now he's acting like he never did you can find it in his posts. Another strike! BTW, Dunkin Don when I PM you the other night about Gaines and said "so he's all done" you didn't say no...... did you!!!!! I'm with Shady and a few others you're full of ****.

We have the hottest owner in the league-bar none! And, I ain't talkin' bout Terry.

Leroi deserved to get fired!

..........So Gaines and Benjamin are practicing

Where?????? I'm so done with this guy

And, the Gaines thing never gets answered! Strange

So are you saying that if we sign Cousins we will have no first round picks? What?

we may even have to throw in Tolbert.

Why do you tease us about Gaines?

No is it good?

We want Cousins news?

Anybody else worried about The Bills scoring the game winning TD to take the lead on Sunday......and celebrate....and the officials call excessive celebration for the first time all year......We kick off from way back and Brady gets the ball out near midfield with 20 secs left.....and the two G-skis ......you know the rest! My Nightmare!

Yes the Brett Hull goal where his foot was in the crease and the stupid rule was changed not too long after. That was an NHL foreray into the NFL world of rules.

The NFL has a problem with its rules and will not admit it. What's the first rule of helping yourself? Admitting you have a problem! Instead the NFL like politicians believe in damage control only.

Calls don't even out! Doesn't even make sense. Does everyone have the same number of penalties at the end of the season? after 3yrs? after 10? It is illogical.

There are marginal calls in the NFL that fall under the ticky tack variety!

No , calling penalties on plays the directly impact scoring chances yes. Calling all the ticky tacky stuff NO So you want them to call a penalty 180' feet from the net when a guy steps on a stick and falls or a marginal hook while forechecking? Or a million other things...

This is an excellent point and I've always believed in it.

The Saints game! LOL we had 'em right where we wanted them and let them off the hook!

I think to some extent referees determining games with calls has always been talked about. I remember being a huge Houston Oilers fan during the Bum Phillips, Earl Campbell era. I still think about the TD catch by Mike Renfro in the championship game against the Steelers in 1979 that was ruled both feet not down and in thus incomplete. The replay showed otherwise, but it was not in effect at the time, and the Steelers continued on and won another Super Bowl. I think people pissed and moaned, but the refs were considered part of the game and mistakes happened. It wasn't fun to accept..... but it was what it was. Replay has brought about a different era for sure. And, the mentality we just want to get it right in a technical sense. I also think your point about the college game is true because to me the rules seem simpler and more straightforward. The NFL has intervened way too much with its rules. I feel like I'm listening to lawyers, and politicians talk when I listen to the NFL folks talk. LOL! we both typed the Renfro catch at the same time.

I heard Den Blandino on the radio today, and said from his experience, advising Alberto Riveron, that with social media now you can get something out on Sunday night to deal with damage control from the situation. This is the NFL approach to dealing with the problem. He further went on to say you hope it goes away in 24 hours. Jeez! Its all so clear why they don't solve problems.

I don't believe he ever played a sport in his life.

No they have not!

Some facts that are lightly disregarded by some. 1. 8-6 and a chance at the playoffs, would be great to get the monkey off the back and move forward with the culture of winning. Yes winning unlike BBFS which is whiney. 2. Lots of draft capital and the ability to get players who can help in the future and with 3 really good rookies the belief we know what we're doing in the draft. 3. Cap Space. We have the ability to go get players who fit in at a more reasonable rate than say 20Million/year DL. Star Lotulelei anyone. None of these facts was in place before the new regime and now they are.
