Where's the ***** flag on the clothesline tackle?! After all these ***** penalties they don't call that?

Ah, yes, the signature referee drive right after the game turns in our favor. Seen it a million times

Awesome TD & conversion from Allen and Jones. But OMG McDermott. Do you hate having timeouts? Three timeouts thrown away for no reason today.

Has McDermott ever made a smart challenge? I'm not being a smartass. I'm genuinely curious if he has a 100% failure rate at challenging calls. Edit: 0/6 this season and 1/10 in his career according to the commentators. That is truly awful. Like incredibly embarrassing. This isn't rocket science. That doesn't even include calls he should have challenged and didn't.

What else would they say? That they're going to squander $90 million on overpriced free agents? Judging by the constant turnover of GM's in sports, I think it's far more ignorant to blindly assume that one will accomplish his goals just because he said it in a press conference.

I knew exactly what this thread was about and didn't want to click it but someone is holding a gun to my head and made me read it. I can't stand when other people have a different opinion than me so I'm just going to whine about your whining. This is a Bills message board after all; it's not some place for you to come and talk about the Bills. Now, I have nothing worthwhile to add but the guy with the gun to my head is telling me to go click on more threads I don't like and post the same exact thing because it's far more constructive than the thing I'm complaining about.

"You guys think we could get that sex toy thrower in here at QB?"

Seriously? You say I'm ignoring your point and then leave out the first sentence of your two sentence quote, which defines the basis of your argument. If you're saying that the Chiefs handled their QB situation similarly, then I'll grant you they did in fact draft a QB with the intent to sit him for a year. However, having Alex Smith in front of him is a completely different situation than what we're doing. They sat him for a year and still had a plan to be extremely productive offensively. They didn't plan to sit him while tanking, which is what you claimed.

You said the Bills are tanking and then claimed the Chiefs did the same thing. Verbatim.

I think you're very confused about something. The Chiefs were first in their division at 12-4 and scored 389 points the year before they drafted Mahomes. Then they went 10-6 (again first in their division) and scored 415 points while sitting Mahomes. At no point did they do anything resembling a tank. They went from 2-14 in 2012 with Crennel to 11-5 with Andy Reid the next year. That's just what happens when you go from a bad coach / GM to a good coach / GM. Good coaches and GM's don't tank in football. They just find talent and put up 400 points a season.

I've definitely been in the same situation. I know I'm a little boisterous at games, so I fully expect something like what you experienced, and have gotten that treatment a few times. As long as it's just harmless fun, it doesn't bother me. It crosses the line when it's malicious, and that's an easy distinction to make. I don't get upset just because someone touches me in a playful manner, but I would absolutely tell them off if it were disrespectful or violent.

Like, as a person?

Don't get gashed in the run game, get pressure on Brady, and score three touchdowns. All highly unlikely, but it would make me feel better.

Yes. I just think it's a fallacy to assume he's a qualified QB coach because he was a mediocre WR coach under a good head coach. I'd much rather hire a QB coach who has proven he's good at being a QB coach or at least has some innovative potential. Not a guy who's been treading water in a different job.

Except he hasn't gotten promotions everywhere he goes. He's been a WR coach for 25 years and only been promoted to assistant head coach under Reid. Not OC. Assistant head coach. Which probably means that he simply ran things the way Reid designed them and wanted them to be run. And as someone else pointed out already, it was his wide receivers in Kansas City that went an entire year without a touchdown. That's an absurd level of ineptitude that this year's Buffalo passing offense seems hell bent on upstaging. The proof is in the pudding. The guy may be "well respected," but it wouldn't be due to his football acumen.

Andy Reid has proven that he is one of those coaches. Culley has not. In fact, he hasn't even proven he is a specialist at even one position on the offense. He was a WR coach for 25 years before he came to Buffalo. He had only 5 receivers break 1000 yards in a season during that time. That does not scream "offensive specialist." Sorry, but "well respected" coaches who don't produce results are just bad coaches who have been around long enough to have friends in the league.

There are hundreds of coaches in the NFL. Are you saying they are all interchangeable? None of them are better or worse at certain positions than others?

You're thinking of a different play. That one was on Benjamin, although they didn't call anything on the Colts player who did the same thing to him and caused Benjamin to react. They let the other team do whatever they want and wait for the Bills to react before throwing a flag. Yeah he got dragged down by the collar which would cause a hailstorm of laundry for any other team. I was so pissed about that play. That was a blatant non-call that directly led to a touchdown.

Probably because referees allow the other team to do whatever they want to Jerry and he gets an unsportsmanlike for breathing too hard on someone. He is flagrantly held on most passing downs and it's never called.

Gurley was awful his second year. Goff looked like a bust. A good coach gets the most out of his players.

I'm starting to come around on Star. That was a really nice stop. These runs for loss on first down, however, are still complete BS. No other team runs for a loss on most first downs. It's insanity.

Calls people "little *****" for bitching about a player. Proceeds to B word about players.

So how is that not PI? Steamrolled him before the ball got there. Glad Allen was fired up about it.

So when someone else criticizes Allen for his play, they are complaining asshats. Yet you did it in the next breath.
