    Somehow I get this feeling that if a Bills player did this, Shady/Zay/Foster/whomever, board members here would be singing their praises and saying what a heads up play that was. A Patriots player does this and people cry foul!!

    Wrong

    I would say "Wow, we got lucky there, one of these ridiculously interpreted rules that I dislike finally worked in our favor!"

    Of course we all know that will probably never happen though.

    I disagree.   The rule is fine.   Don't let go of the guy until the whistle blows.

    I agree in some instances where runners make similar plays avoiding the turf, usually around the goal line on inside run plays.  they might use another players body to help keep from touching but the are always moving forward and will have at least one foot on the ground to push themselves forward.

     

    This one today was different in my eyes. Open field tackle where dude is wrapped up, swung around and planted right on his butt.  Forward progress completely stopped. Just because his butt landed on the leg of a player already covering the ground means his forward progress was not stopped?  

    A short time after that play was the nice throw to Foster that took into NE territory.  he was upright on both feet still driving into the defender but the second he stopped moving forward, they blew the whistle for forward progress. Even though it looked like he might of been able to get more. 

    So, his forward progress was considered stopped. While Edelman, completely off his feet and just sitting on a players leg, forward progress was not considered stopped?

    this only happens to poorly coached teams. You play to the whistle, can't let him go, lie on top of him until the play is blown dead

    ok, I guess then I'm mad at McD for my not liking whats considered stopping forward progress?

    I'm not hating on Edelman for this, or crying foul.  I was simply stating I don't like the rule. too inconsistent. Foster was not required to touch the turf to be ruled down, why was Edelman?

     

  3. I hate this rule! 

    If a runner gets wrapped up, stopped completely and then taken completely off his feet and pulled to the ground, it should not matter that he was laying on a body instead of the grass.  The tackler, then thinking the play is over, releases runner and he's now allowed to get back on to his feet and start running again?

    At the VERY least it should be ruled forward progress.

    I don't even think this is true... I feel like you're remembering the one hit on a Monday Night game to Roethlisberger (maybe) when he slid ridiculously late.  It's okay to disagree with the announcers sometimes.

    that was Flacco, but there have been numerous other late cheap shots by Kiko the last couple seasons.

    He was called for one on Luck just last week.

    I'm worried about our President being a treasonous, bumbling, orange buffoon, but you don't see me whining about it, do ya?

    well, yeah I kinda do see  you whining about that.

    although I agree 100% with you,

    Kiko should be worried about getting run over or stiff armed by Josh Allen. 

    I'm not worried about Kiko vs Allen in a heads up collision, Allen will win that most of the time.

    It's the late dirty hits I'm talking about. Like the one that injured his elbow.

  5. I live in LA and my wife is from SD and a Chargers fan so I have seen every game of theirs (for many years)

    I am not impressed at all.  All scheduling smoke and mirrors.

    Everybody is missing the fact they have only played 2 teams that currently have a winning record.  they lost to both. 

    the QBs they have faced:

    1- MaHomes in his first start - loss

    2- Allen (rookie in his first start)

    3- Goff - loss

    4- Beathard of the 49ers (who?) 2 point win

    5- Carr

    6- Mayfield (rookie in his 3rd start)

    7- Marriota (1 point win)

    8- Russell Wilson (closest thing to a quality win)

    9- Carr again

    10- Keenum (ugly loss at home)

     

    Next week they get lucky again and get another crap opponent (ARIZ) with a rookie QB playing so bad they lost to the Raiders today.

    compare that with our schedule so far.  they will "schedule" themselves into a wild card but will not advance.

    Reason we don't throwback to Super Bowl days are, we have to wear the normal color helmets.  So, any alternate helmet would have to be white.  That's why when we first went with throwbacks and our helmets were red, we got stuck with this horrible photo-negative throwback helmet...

    I don't think that rule was in place back in 94.  many teams have worn different color throwback helmets since then.  I Don't remember the reason we used the red helmets.  The one helmet rule is fairly recent.

    It's actually Detroit Lions colors. Rumor was Ralph got their old uniforms for the first year of the Bills. 

     

    I think I remember reading that Ralph and his Dad were minority owners (very small %) of the Lions at one time.

    I could be wrong about this.

    Was part of step one to get the QB and provide no protection around him for his first year of development? It was either a failure of talent evaluation or being inept in organizational planning. I personally just don't think either bodes well.

    Does everyone forget that we lost both Incognito and Wood unexpectedly?  I don't think having to replace those two were a part of their plan last offseason. I believe those two situations are the biggest culprit of why our offense is this sad.

    If we had 3/5 OL playing well instead of 1/5, the other 2/5 would probably look better as well.

    I noted that guy and his sign when it aired live, and thought "look at that idiot's sign...who is going to see that?"

     

    Ironically people did see it b/c of the close-up but still, that sign sucks.

     

    Well intentioned though!

     

     

    this was all I could think of when I saw that.

    Do you mean the 83 draft w/ Elway, Marino, Kelly, Eason, Blackledge, and O'Brien?

    odd note about that draft, of the 6 QBs taken in the first round, 5 were drafted by AFC east teams.  the Colts were in our division back then and although he never played a game for them, they did draft Elway. I can't recall any other year when all 5 teams from the same division drafted QBs in the first round.

  10. Its not just us,  the Cheats have not lost a single regular season home game to any of the AFC east teams with Brady playing whole game since 2006.

    I guess that means WE'RE DUE !!!!

     

    Although, we have played them very close in many of the games there. 

    since 2005 we have played there 12 times, 9 with Brady playing the whole game.

    we are 2-1 when Brady didn't play or only played 1 half.

    of the 9 losses, 6 were decided by 1 score.

    this CAN happen !

     

  11. It seems to me that the only thing the outcome of the KC-LAC game determines is who we root for the the SF-Ten game. 

    If KC wins, we will need a 3 way tie,  so root for Ten vs SF because its less likely they will win vs Rams and they must lose to Jags.

    If SD wins, we need a 2 team tie, so root for SF as we will need Tenn to lose out.

     

    this is all assuming Balt gets the first WC and of course Bills going 2-1
