He was grabbing inside the shoulder, not the name plate.

The horse collar against the Rams and the defensive holding against the Bills were both bad calls. That's like a 40% failure rate. And they missed at least two penalties against the Rams on that 4th down play including an obvious delay of game.

Show me a "fire anyone" post. We can be optimistic and still call out the crazy amount of stupid mistakes in that half.

But very good at minimizing all of them. Keep in mind we have two rookie CBs playing tonight too.

This D line is beast. Love it

We are definitely the better team but we came out sloppy just like last year. If we cut out the stupid mistakes in the second half we should be fine.

There are about 4 huge mistakes that changed this game from 24-0 to 10-7.

Looked like they knew how to play it with the exchange but Poyer just misplayed the coverage.

Oof Poyer botched that badly.

That was delay of game.

Missed Jordan Phillips. Big guy makes big plays.

Please explain how the defense can hold on a run play. Makes up for that bad horse collar call I guess.

We are not helping our defense out at all. They're stepping up big so far though.

Okay let's stick with the bread and butter guys the rest of the game please.

Sign me up for that. We win easily if that's all he gets.

Every team knows his skill set from draft scouting and he's protected from waivers on the 53 so there's no reason to hide him. If anything, they would be hiding the scheme or specific plays that utilize his talents.

Especially because none of those guys are subject to waivers. They could have cut them and brought them back to start while sending Hodgins to the PS until one of our starters inevitably misses some time. Wouldn't have cost them anything to keep Hodgins. Same for Blackshear for that matter. The only reason I can see to cut them is to give them a chance to sign somewhere else, but I'm sorry-- this is a business and we will regret not having some quality players to call up if any injuries happen.

Yeah I see how that was too vague. Gotta do something with him right? I just don't want them to disregard the situation by starting him nor do I want to see his career ruined because they feel like they have to save face by completely cutting him off before the facts are known.

So sign another punter until everything gets resolved. If Araiza is innocent, he gets his job back. If he's guilty, cut him. Nobody is going to claim him off waivers right now so he can be on the practice squad until further notice.

You are not alone. Which is why it's absurd to have 200+ pages of conjecture before anyone knows what really happened. Gotta let the full truth come out before I make any comments about his future with the team. Clearly the victim in the case deserves justice and sympathy but nobody on the outside knows the extent of Araiza's involvement in the crime.

He's still better than the Carolina commentators.

Hodgins is making a really good case for himself.

Can't touch a QB near the sidelines but it's fine if the QB lowers the shoulder on a guy already out of bounds I guess.

That grid was published before the season started based on projected win totals. The Bills were 9th in their model. Retroactively -- based on actual win totals -- the Bills ended up 1st. If I were a betting man, I'd take the over on the Bills' win total this year. But I haven't forgotten that we were 7-6 at one point last year after losses to the Steelers and Jaguars and getting throttled by the Colts. We got better over the off-season but so did nearly every other team in the AFC.

And he would have gotten a lot more love if we didn't have to put all our effort into beating 5 wealthy Nashville donors. Little annoying that they're flouting the spirit of the campaign but it's all for a good cause so we just gotta beat them and get that extra $50k to Buffalo.
