Many things can be true all at the same time.

^^ this. you can knock a guy on his ass, but you cant tackle him, that would be a holding call. What it looks like Tre' did these kinda straddles the line.

Josh Allen is an eFin Warrior!

Pretty much, but both are misdemeanor charges. I wouldn't say he's "toast". He;s in more trouble with the league and the team than he is with the law.

But... as soon as you add "intoxication" (at any level, officer discretion) to the picture, it becomes "illegal possession"

Yes, absolutely legal. No license required to keep a gun in your car. You just cant carry it around (concealed or open) without a License to Cary permit, in Texas.

Maybe someone witnessed him actually drinking, can to lips, and felt compelled to report that. (I wouldn't, but some people will)

You're right, but I think it becomes illegal possession when you become "intoxicated" which doesn't have a stated BAC when it comes to possessing a firearm. It's very vague. best to not carry when drinking at all.

Um, No, it doesn't. Carrying a firearm is dead serious matter and most who do, take it that way. You'd be glad to know one of us when evil comes around and the police are still responding.

It's very nuanced, that's for sure. There's judgment of individual play, and how do they perform as a unit. It's about knowing your assignments, and your teammates' and being able to make adjustments pre-snap and on the fly post-snap, reacting to stunts and crosses. You need to watch the individual on each and every play to know if he's looking lost, or being dominated by opponents. Does he commit allot of penalties. Holding is a sign of laziness, desperation and bad technique, false starts are all mental, focus and concentration. Some fans have unrealistic expectations regarding offensive lines. With the level of athleticism on D-lines these days, nobody can block anyone forever. 3 seconds in pass pro is a long time. Keep your opponent off your QB for 3 seconds and your good. Run game is more obvious. Do you open holes, or are you stoned? Like so many others have said, as fans you know it when you see it, stats cant really tell the story.

don't complicate things; points allowed.

if you're great, you're great. Market doesn't matter. Especially in this fast information age.

and not to be understated... offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia will retire after 36 seasons in the NFL. (still consulting at the combine). This guy turned dudes off the street into probowl linemen.

I understand that BB like to go fishing.

Considering Belichick is turning 68 this April, how much longer does he coach? Without his star QB, I'm betting he only lasts a couple more seasons himself.

I don't think it's that far outside the realm of possibility that he winds up a NY Giant. Judge is the Pats ST guy, he just hired the Pats QB coach Schuplinski. Nice cap space open for 2020, a nice low draft selection, Killer running back. What's it take to sit Jones for another season and let him learn behind Brady?

Bills will face a Dallas slanted playing field on Thursday, beyond being on home field. You better believe that there's going to be some "sway" given by the Refs to Dallas on Thanksgiving to "make up for it". Bank on it.

Follow it, Bills source says nothing about Jones. Roto writer not paying attention. edit... interesting they've already changed the error.

They beat the hell out of each other's QBs and put 'em on the bench. We win!

I hate reading these boards when the Bills lose. I think I hate it even more sometimes when they win.

Wow, he's actually mortal man? Who'd have thought...

Those going might want to check this out... https://www.facebook.com/events/351006715564357/?active_tab=about There's no real "lot-wide" tailgating going on at Jerry's world, if you can even afford a parking space. You can only "tailgate" in certain spots where the parking spaces back up to the grassy areas around the perimeter of some lots. It really kind of blows for tailgate action you'd normally be accustomed to. The Stadium is massive and very impressive, but you'll watch the game looking up the whole time at the giant TV. You really can't help it, no matter how hard you try to force yourself to watch the field, you;ll be drawn back up to it in no time. more info here: http://www.dfwbillsbackers.org/thanksgiving-tailgate-info-tickets.html

I wish they would play the scenario out just to end the discussion. I guarantee they would never do it again.

I think people have unrealistic expectations when it comes to Offensive line performance, especially in Pass Protection. We can't expect any O-line to be some kind of shut-out umbrella that can protect a QB indefinitely. They simply cannot. Defensive fronts have become way to quick and stunting schemes have become way to sophisticated to expect an O-line to lock out a defensive pass rush. Defenders will get there. It's also a function of receivers getting separation and QB's anticipating and having a quick triggers. Not very many teams out there have outstanding Offensive Lines. Every one of them has holes. Also, outside of Dante Scarnecchia, there's really a sad shortage of great coaching out there at both the pro and college ranks.

So you agree then... ?
