Why would that matter?

No, the books win if the Bills cover.

Over 60% of the handle came in on Bucs spread. There’s little chance BUF moneyline came close to make up the difference, so in theory the books lost. In reality, the lines are set to induce as much action on both sides as possible. Yes, there are some rare occurrences when they’re overexposed but the truth is that once all the bets are in Vegas doesn’t care about the outcome.

What depends on who gets the most action?

The NFL is a trade association. To which case are you referring when you talk about the ‘NFL’s own lawyer’?

As if I needed any more help identifying a Patriot troll😂😂

Yes. You got me. Part time stenographer and I moonlight as a mind controller.

You have four comments in the last hour on this page alone.

😂😂😂yikes Coaches are in on this conspiracy too? When their paychecks are directly tied to performance?🤦‍♂️

It’s entirely your prerogative to be mad at bad referees. But if we’re being honest this was just your garden variety bad and no-calls. The last time I got truly upset about officiating was the Texans wildcard game.

Let’s be clear: conscious bias would be cheating. Subconscious bias would fall under what I call ‘bad officiating’ which despite the 5 threads about it this week is not a new phenomenon in pro football. If the Bills were 10-3, which they could easily be right now without any change to how the games have been officiated, there would be zero talk of the league screwing us.

All which other points? That an outlier in holding calls is evidence of fraud?

But it definitely wasn’t cheating when we beat the LA Rams last year on a questionable PI call, that one was legit

I would bet that people who get shot and then stabbed are less likely to die than people who get shot.

@JohnNord 1:56 Q2 first and ten BUF 28

No, same game v Fournette.

He made a similar play earlier. Didn’t make this one.

Gap responsibilities are basically identifying where you are supposed to be and making sure your fit is sound. If there is a puller you must engage on balance and fit. That is largely how the defensive roles along the front 7 are organized. The goal of our alignments and run fits the majority of the time rely on the front seven playing fundamentally gap sound defense and leaving a DB free to make the tackle. McDermott and Frazier want sound run fits first and then brilliant individual play second, NOT the other way around. That is why they shipped Jordan Phillips out after a career year.

This scheme is never going to be top of the league in rush yardage or rush Y/A because they don't want to be. Obviously they'd like to not allow long TD runs, but from an EPA perspective you actually want to encourage both the other team to run against you at a higher than average frequency AND be able to stop them at an above league average net YPA. If you're then also a top defense against the pass, as we are because we actually have good players and coaches, and play complementary offensive football (which we have struggled with as of late, but that doesn't mean the defensive philosophy isn't sound) you have a good modern NFL defense.

Do you think the advantages in the pass defense outweigh the liabilities in the run game? Especially considering that we struggle to consistently dictate on offense so we cannot necessarily rely on playing with a lead.

It’s a numerical system for designating linebacker alignments, similar to defensive linemen in 0tech, 1tech etc except LB coaches add a zero. This is a good article for the basics: https://www.stateoftheu.com/2016/7/11/12093870/miami-hurricanes-clinic-talk-terms-and-phrases-for-defensive-football

Mesh w play side TE…Jackson or Wallace (probably Jackson) is supposed to switch to shallow route, Edmunds man is deeper drag from weak side. Pretty clearly not his man.

I think the filter would remove that game data for times when either teams’s QB was pulled however, I doubt that’s how they definite garbage time. My guess would be that the aforementioned presets along the filter are the score differentials and as you approach 30 (ie a game where one team is winning by 30pts) it starts to max out

No.

It’s also punitive to teams like the Bills who played very well in a bunch of big wins.
