Except they would of had a timeout and 40 seconds - every well coached team does exactly what the Bills did. The poorly coached teams like the Browns run a ball out of bounds to stop the clock and then score the TD and lose the game because those mistakes. A well coached team knows the only way to lose is to potentially give the ball back. You run it down - kick the field goal and walk off a winner every time.

Totally agree Sanchez covered the gambit and sounded like an idiot. He finally got it right at the end - the Dolphins should have tried to drag him to the end zone and tried knocking the ball out. The Ravens did both and almost were rewarded with a Singletary fumble, but the Dolphins are not nearly as well coached.

If he had gotten the first down - the next play would have been a kneel down just as it was. They were not going to run more than 1 play to get to 0:02 seconds with the ball centered. They did not want to risk having anyone dragged into the end zone with time left.

Even if they score - they still need the snapper, holder, and kicker to perform for the XP or potentially lose in regulation. If you can control everything right down to the last play and ensure that either you win or it goes to OT you do that. It would be different if it was a 45 yard kick or something - then yes - get the yards, but for a chip shot - that was 100% the right call. If the other team wants you to score a TD so they have a shot to win - then the right call is to go down and eliminate their shot.

Why? The Dolphins had 1 timeout that they needed to use after the play. The Bills then had a play to kneel and run the clock. I would totally agree if it had been 3rd down and the Bills had to kick on the next play, but in that case get down before the defenders can drag you into the end zone. The yardage did not matter as much as getting down. It was 100% the right call because you eliminated any chance for the Dolphins to make a play and win the game in regulation. By him going down - it was the Bills win or OT.

Nope - the rule has not changed in years. The adjustment they made was the ball could contact the ground now as long as the player maintains control throughout. Via the old rule that was 100% incomplete as the ball contacted the ground. Via the change from several years ago - if McKenzie’s lower hand had stayed on the ball and not lost contact - that would have been a catch, but since he had control with that lower hand and then made contact with the ball and that hand lost control and his other hand came in - it is considered that he did not maintain control after contact. You can tell how close it was by how the rule judge basically stated that you see the ball move and his one hand leave contact, but the other arm is there. They most likely do not overturn it either way as the camera work is very difficult to tell where you have control. I think it is remarkable how much these Refs see and get right in real time that even slowed down is hard to identify without multiple angles. People complain all the time about spotting of the ball and they show a replay and damn if they did not catch a knee hitting the ground just before stretching or where the ball went out of bounds. It is amazing at live speed how really good these guys are.

If you are going to complain - at least get it correct. The review confirmed the call on the field of incomplete. Nothing was overturned by review and when they slowed it down frame by frame - they confirmed that the ball moved in his hands meaning no catch. This was at least a bit closer than the Poyer play, but they got the call correct in real time.

How could you - every time Mark Sanchez talked about him - he called him nick Chubb. Mark must have called him Nick at least 4 or 5 times. He was just terrible.

I would like this 1 million times if I could. Josh is the man!

They were never going to pull the credentials for the stupid or critical questions he asked. He was always going to lose his positions with the sexist comments he made and because the Bills are very female forward in their own in house media and through the local and national media - he was going to be done as a reporter covering the Bills based on the pod cast. He might have saved himself - if he had gotten out in front of this with a true heartfelt apology, but once the backlash started and he had not responded- it was always going to be to late.

Yep and now he is fired from there also. It was inevitable. Guess that means he probably loses his press credentials.

I heard Wilson was reaching out to Mike White’s Mom - he had a different type of revenge on his mind. 😂

This X 1000.

What Crap!

So he should get to voice his racist or sexist biased comments, but people should not be allowed to complain about what he chose to say - that is just stupid. He 100% has a right to say the idiotic comments he made and anyone offended has 100% rights to call his work to complain or call him out on social media. His employer also has 100% right to fire his butt for the stupid comments he made. Your wife has her right to be offended or not or maybe not even be real as no one knows you, but her opinion on the matter does not invalidate the 100s of thousands that are offended. And as has been shown - the men do not have to stand up for the women - there are plenty of proud, strong, intelligent women that are doing just fine on their own. That does not mean men should not agree and support the women if that is their belief. We all have rights and the rights of your so called “Karen’s” are just as valid and important as anyone else’s. Hopefully through this Jerry will get exactly what he deserves, but like so many other ignorant people - he will blame cancel culture and Karen’s rather than look in the mirror for the real problem. 🤦‍♂️

We will see - if his comments cost him his gig at the “newspapers” where he worked - then the Bills can easily pull his credentials as he no longer represents subscribers in the area.

Yeah and how do you proceed as an organization. There we’re already rumors that the HC and GM were under fire for the showing at the end of last year and this year. Do you change coaches and then watch as the team struggles for a year waiting for Murray? Do you keep the HC knowing that you plan to fire him when they struggle next year and move toward a new coach in 2024 and bring Murray back in 2024 after 18 - 20 months and just throw the red towel in on 2023? It impacts the team, Murray, and players like Hopkins that already struggles after the PED bust and now potentially has another year and a half with no QB. For a player I can not stand - this just stinks, but will be interesting to watch play out.

In that situation there were only men - they need to stand up for the underserved in that case. It could have been bigotry based upon sex, race, income, schooling - if they are picking on one group that is under or not represented- the others need to stand up. Now today - the podcast and Sullivan are finding out the Women can 100% take care of themselves and this is going to cause a world of hurt for them.

Then it should not offend you to have cancel culture. Live and let live - if people are offended why should it bother you what they do. That is their free speech. You certainly do not seem very tolerant of other voices as you are basically telling them to not speak their mind against a bigoted hack, but you do you boo. 🤦‍♂️

This is wrong on so many levels. The facts are the community decides who to listen to and who to support. The cancelling of Sullivan will be because enough people exercise their rights and freedom to express the outrage and in a capitalistic society - that means potential consequences for him and anyone that supports him in business. They have a right to fire him or move on if they feel enough bad press will impact their bottom line. Jerry Sullivan is and will be free to continue speaking, but if the people put pressure on where that voice can come from - that is exactly how the country should work.

Too Little - they had a chance to stand-up for women last night - one guy looked upset and said nothing - one guy shook his head in mock agreement. It was unacceptable!

I believe they marked the 50 yard marker for the new stadium if you need a marker.

I think the screen game suffers because of Josh’s rushing ability more than anything. Most teams rush in a controlled fashion - trying to keep Josh in the pocket and many times they also leave a LB/Safety as a “spy” watching the backfield. Therefore - you do not have the DEs rushing so fast that they clear the passing lanes and 2nd you have guys specifically watching Josh that can recognize and support the screen. There is some element of timing missing that other teams have, but I think it is more on how teams play Josh - which is why it is multiple OCs that have the same issue.

If you watch the Baldy Breakdown thread - you can see the play in question. Dawkins pancakes John Franklin Meyers as he pulled on Josh’s TD run. Meyers lands on the back of Bates legs injuring the ankle. Less about the guy doing the taping and more about bad luck when the Bills Tackle pulls and flattens a guy.

Yes - based on what I have seen that was the play he got hurt and it was the guy rolling up on him after getting planted.
