Since prior to the Week 1, it was always about the team improving as the year went on. It appears they're trending in the right direction. Come playoffs they'll have to be better than they are today. The next few weeks will be fun to watch.

You can fine the guy, but you don't highlight it on a big screen to shame the guy. That's a blatant sign of weak and pathetic leadership by Gase. Good luck Jets fans... he ain't gonna right the ship.

Yeah how dare they not call a forward pass a fumble
Yeah.. that's a tough one, that word "forward," it has such an ambiguous definition, right?? Like did it go forward or did it not?!

We play a pretty boring workmanlike brand of football right now on both sides of the ball. We don't get many big plays on offense but we also don't give up many big plays on defense either.
It should not based on league rules. Unfortunately people's opinions on forums don't men anything, it's the actual league rules and their interpretation by officials that counts.
Rule 8 Forward Pass, Backward Pass, Fumble Section 1 Forward Pass DEFINITION Article 1 Definition It is a forward pass if: (a) the ball initially moves forward (to a point nearer the opponent’s goal line) after leaving the passer’s hand(s); or (b) the ball first strikes the ground, a player, an official, or anything else at a point that is nearer the opponent’s goal line than the point at which the ball leaves the passer’s hand(s).
Read above.. arm motion don't mean jack. It's from where the ball leaves the hand to where it lands on the field.

That was not a strip sack, it was an incomplete forward pass.
Already established on other threads that it should have been a fumble bud.

Hughes had one but NFL refs are incompetent.

I'm actually very curious how the team comes out after seeing Miami for a second time. I think it will tell us a lot about our coaching staff. We have a much more talented roster than Miami, this should look like the week-2 win vs the Giants.

I just love when people find one statistic and think they've discovered Atlantis.. A reporter did this earlier this week when asking McDermott specifically about Allen's and Tyrod's recent 20games as a Bill.
What about garbage time points that we've scored while getting blown out??? There are hundreds of reason to justify why they aren't scoring as much. Pick whichever one you like.

Damn sucks for Jets fans

Really a forced and ignorant question. I wish head coaches would try to embarrass the reporters a little bit when they ask these questions and just challenge them on the though process that went into asking the question.
Ask the reporter:
What differences do you think exist between Tyrod and Allen regarding the spots in their careers in considering those 40 games?
What other statistics did you consider when deciding the 20 game passing statistics made sense.
What did Tyrods last 10 compared to Allen's last 10 look like? Seems more appropriate considering A ROOKIE QB

Seriously, when has desperation made any difference in skills?
JFC - WHEN will the Bills ever get that GD desperate? We've all been waiting nearly TWENTY YEARS!
- asking for a friend...
This was an observation of teams we've lost to, not an excuse. But it absolutely makes a difference in how you prepare and focus. Pay attention to any playoff game or elimination game. A lot more focus.

I thought all replays went through NYC- is it only scoring plays?
Damn idk then.. that would be very disappointing if NY is butchering these calls.

What I do not get is the fact that the 49ers went 40 yards at the end of regulation in 1:44 and kicked a FG to tie the game and go to overtime - with an aggressive Offensive Head Coach and no one here is calling him Jauron, but the Bills went the exact same distance 40 yards (with the starting point with 1 yard of each other) in 1:27 and tried to kick the same FG to send it to OT as the 49ers, but McDermott gets blasted.
The last drive for both the Bills and the 49ers in Regulation was nearly identical- with the Bills doing it better than the 49ers, but the outcomes were different. McDermott is being called a conservative Defensive HC, while we have threads on how SF did not play for a tie - when they did the exact same thing.
I'm a little less fresh for the exact details as to why people are pissed at McDermott. IMO, I'm more salty with Hauschka than McDermott. I wouldn't have confidence in him hitting from 35 yards based on how poorly he hit his two misses.

a tie would have mean
SF 8-0-1
SEA 7-2-1
that's 1 and a half game up, not two
Okay, 2-games in the loss column technically, which will even out after Seattle has their bye-week.
2 minutes ago, BuffaloBillies said:Yep. That was my point. I'm sure the guys on the team wanted to go for the win, not settle for a tie.
Agreed about the locker room. But I think it's the coaches job though to be able to take out the emotion of the decision in order to make the smart decision.
-
I wasn't ordinarily surprised that the 49ers didn't settle for playing for a tie... But IMO it would have made way more sense from a strategic perspective.
Especially after their missed field goal in OT, the clock was winding down and this should have at least been a consideration. Additionally, Garropolo did not look comfortable and they were without Sanders and Kittle.
A tie would have maintained a 2-game lead over Seattle, and rendered their next match up potentially inconsequential for Seattle's ability to overtake the division.
NOW the division essentially will hinge on their next game AT Seattle

So any team that is desperate is an automatic loss for us. That's OK to lose then. Good to know
So then how come when we are desperate, Bills lose?
O-line still needs help in the off-season. Dawkins was beat a lot Sunday by Myles Garrett
Totally agree with you that it's not an excuse, but more an observation for how our team plays when going up against this type of desperation. Eagles beat us pretty convincingly, but we had plenty of chances to beat the Browns, which is very disappointing.

The problem is that there is no accountability for errors or explanation of the change. I truly accept it is an incomplete pass if it went forward an inch but then how did they mess up last year on review? The inconsistent nature is why I do not watch other games because I believe 2or 3 games a weekend are decided by poor officiating.
I have no clue why ALL replays don't go back to 'New York'. It's so apparent that refs can't handle the added workload in addition to the field work.
-
Thanks for posting this. I was pulling my hair out arguing about this on another thread. It's extremely frustrating that the refs don't understand the rules as well as people watching at home. It's really simple, either the ball is moving forward or it is not. Allen's example vs the Vikings should have been ruled an incomplete pass. Baker's ball didn't go forward (at least not convincingly from replay) and should have stayed a fumble.
Ironically, it was probably during off-season review that the Refs were shown the incorrect outcome of Allen's example that this past weekends crew assumed was identical. Bottom line, most of the refs are just not smart enough for this game.

...I asked god that if he could ruin the Patriots perfect season against the Giants that he could make it so the Bills never win a super bowl.
The next day some dude caught a ball on his helmet... I was in a dark place. I'm sorry.

yep two of the clubs that were getting raked over nationally for their internal struggles and divisive cultures. All they needed was a date with the process-driven Bills to get back on track.Agreed. Shakes my confidence in the coaching staff a bit.

I do know that defenses tend to go more prevent D during the final minutes of a half. Possibly the reason for the yardage increase and improved 3rd down efficiency.
-
One thing that dawned on me regarding the three losses this year..
One was vs the Patriots
Two were against teams that essentially had their seasons on the line.

Rule 8 Forward Pass, Backward Pass, Fumble Section 1 Forward Pass
DEFINITION Article 1 Definition
It is a forward pass if:
(a) the ball initially moves forward (to a point nearer the opponent’s goal line) after leaving the passer’s hand(s); or
(b) the ball first strikes the ground, a player, an official, or anything else at a point that is nearer the opponent’s goal line than the point at which the ball leaves the passer’s hand(s).
IN CONCLUSION.....The point at which the ball hit the ground was not closer to the opponent's goal line than were Bakers hands!

Jerry Jones is a clown.
He's just a pre-madonna that has to go crying to the media for attention when he gets upset. This tells me that he is not a leader. This tells me he is not a competent decision maker. The cowboys will never win another Super Bowl while he's the owner.
