    But wait! I left dejected a few hours ago since I was told by a not insignificant amount of posters on here that we were doomed and all is lost because Beane broke the bank for 2 mill on Gore...you mean the hot takes are not spot on after all??;)

    I mean how dare Beane spend a whole 2 mil out of our paltry cap space to grab someone who averaged 4.6 ypc, is a consummate professional and positive presence for whatever RB we draft, and can block like few others.

     

    Haven't they heard he's OLD?

    Hagersville, Ontario for me.

    For most of the year I'm in Hagersville about every third weekend.

     

    I'm from St. Catharines.  After a several year period of not getting to any games, I went to both preseason games and the home opener this past season.  Lack of funds kept me from the Jets and Patriot games, and then having to update my enhanced drivers license at the end of the year kept me from the home finale.

    Sarnia is home for me.

     

    For the record (like most Bills fans from Ontario), I did not want the Bills to come to Toronto.  The ticket prices would double and be harder to get and the tailgating would suck because of Ontario liquor laws.

    Eh, but would have been a fun anniversary outing.  Got engaged at the game against Seattle.  Well until we broke up, you get the idea.

    The NHL does?   

     

    I’ve yet to see it called but maybe because of said rule. I’ve seen a few “fake flops”

     

    the Brady Effect.  I like it 

    A delay of game.  

    I thought Brady Effect was a known term, maybe I was wrong and accidentally invented it.

     

    In the MLB players get outright ejected from the game for questioning balls and strikes calls, don't think it's a stretch to have a 5 yard "minor unsportsmanlike conduct" for repeated attempts to coerce refs into a call.

    I'm sure I know the play you're referencing. It was a terrible spot, but it looked like he got the first down from my vantage point.

    He may very well have made the first down line, but the refs made damn sure there was no doubt about it.

    New Rule.  

     

    Anyone that signals a ref for PI when there isn’t one should get a 5 yard penalty.  

     

    I saw the Pats do it half a dozen times.  

     

    Trying to get the "Brady Effect" by association.  I think the NHL has a penalty for diving, they should maybe do a similar penalty for the Brady-style bitching for an unwarranted penalty.  Extension of unsportsmanlike conduct.

    I was more annoyed at the spot they gave Patriots on a run about 4 minutes into the fourth quarter.  He appeared to be stopped just maybe inches short of the first down, but they spotted the ball a full yard past where ANY part of his body reached, beyond the first down.  You could literally drive a shopping cart through the path between where the furthest part of his form (never mind the ball) reached and where they spotted it for the first down.

    all the great deep threats have an “it” factor... and what most coaches and scouts see as the “it” factor is the ability of the receiver to kick into “another gear” when the ball is in the air

     

    a natural phenomena... 

     

    desean jackson , Sammy Watkins, Ty Hilton,  tyreek Hill etc all have a natural ability to kick it into overdrive when the ball is in the air deep down field... add an extra 2-5 mph and track it down 

    Sorry, but human bodies aren't built like that.  You know they track the running speeds of players these days, don't you?  The fastest players in the league are topping out at 22 mph, so are you claiming the normal top speed for a human is only 17 mph and they are activating some special superhuman ability available only to a select few NFL players to burst to 22 mph?  I think I would have heard of this mutant ability by now.

     

    Running at one speed and then changing speeds to throw off a defender or to catch up to an overthrown ball WHEN NOT ALREADY AT TOP SPEED is not some special "it factor", every receiver does it.  Some players are just faster or have the stamina to maintain their top speed longer than others.

     

    Lol seriously if you have to use quotations and vague nebulous terms like it factor, another gear/overdrive, and natural phenomenon then you're just talking out of your ass and don't have an actual point.  There is no evidence of these players suddenly bursting an extra 5 mph downfield, they are just accelerating faster than average, to a higher than average top speed than the defender.  A magic ability like that would actually be more useful to hit gaps at the LOS and get open in the first place.

    Best deep ball tracker in the league is Lockett. I have seen him slow down on long passes just so he can accelerate again and get that last second separation so he can avoid being tackled.

    May be what the other guy I quoted was actually seeing, rather than some magic nitro button.
