    Baseball terminology. The closer (the last relief pitcher) gets the save if the team was in the lead when he took over and maintained it until the end.

     

     

     

     

    For a closer, it's a save only if the lead is 3 runs or less.  It's not just "if had lead until end".  I know what baseball terminology is, I played baseball.  Technically there's also saves for entering the game with the tying run at the plate or on-deck or pitching the last 3+ innings, but either way it's not just simply the last guy to pitch.  Typically the most common save for a short appearance is one inning with a lead of not more than 3.  Also a "closer" is not simply the last guy to pitch, it's just a term for the relief pitcher on a team most trusted to close out close games, typically in a SAVE situation.

    Doesn’t matter, Jets deserved to win


    I’ll add to it: Had Bills won, the team may had an 3 turn overs sucks, but we got the W, no need to change anything mindset. I feel this may have happened last year. 

     

    Losing forced the hard topic. 

     

    Lol you honestly think everyone would have just been happy with the performance if they somehow pulled out the win?  You really have that little of an opinion of, well basically everyone, in the entire organization?  Not a single person would have recognized that maybe a couple of those INTs shouldn't have happened, that maybe Josh should have just taken the easy run for a first down despite wanting to run less overall, that maybe a draw up the middle on 2nd and 15 in OT is stupid, etc?

    Always makes me angry when this happens - but we didn't really have business winning that game.

     

    I'm tired of this by definition pathetic loser mentality.  You overcome and win.  Do we hand back wins where we didn't play our best?  Are we owed a win if we play well but fall short?  We were denied even a chance to overcome the situation we were in.  Were you upset when Josh persevered and got us to overtime, or were you rooting for Bass to miss the FG because we "didn't deserve it"?

    What difference did that make. If they call it, it's first 10 on the 35. They kick the FG and they win. At that point just let us go to bed. 

     

    First and 10 on the 42.  Foul at the 27, 15 yard penalty to the 42, plus 18 yards for end zone and snap = 60 yard FG.  Odds are the Jets run 3x up the middle for no yards.  I'll take those odds any day over literally just handing the Jets the win with a TD on a blown call.  That's the difference it would make, you sad quitter.

    In terms of issues. I’d rank it dead last. 
     

    so they have the ball at the 20 instead of a TD. 
     

    they run twice and then kick a chip shot FG on 3rd down. 
     

    bills still lose. 

     

    How are you getting the 20?  Foul was at the 27, plus 15 yard penalty to the 42.  That's a 60 yard FG hardly a chip shot.

    exactly. Enforce the 15 yard personal foul penalty and they still get the ball at like the 35 yard line.

     

    42 yard line, foul at the 27.

    I believe it was late in the 2nd half against the Packers prime time.  Diggs was on tilt pregame, Pack CB got in his head.  Hard hitting game.

     

    Josh is attempting to score and gets hit hard by Packers defender.  In live time, I thought Josh got hurt.  Josh jumped up and said “I love this *****!”

     

    2nd half against Pack, Josh and the offense sputtered.  Ever since that hit, most everything Bills attempt on offense looks ineffective.  For 2021 and 2022 first 5 games, Josh and the offense have been were on fire.  What happened?

     

    I read Jacksonville was playing 2 Top against us in that baffling 9-6 loss 

     

    For the record, the RT for the Jags was the same one who is now in the news about cheating for the Chiefs.  And yes, he was doing it just as bad back then.

    Yeh see his December 18th performance against the Fins to clinch the division where any qb that isn’t him loses that game.

    The book on Josh is simple two of his three ints where because he was playing hero ball where in the past he would have scrambled for first downs he    was heaving it into double coverage. 
     

    Teams are simply not going to give the bills the home run throw anymore. Even if it means a safety having to play centerfield every snap. This gets Josh frustrated and he doesn’t have the kinda receivers that when he does this can make a contested catch they are little mites out there. 

     

    Gotta learn from the way Tua and the Fish took what the Chargers were giving them.  They were for some reason happy to give Tua his strength of throwing over the middle, until they panicked and started crashing the middle only to leave Hill open down the sidelines for easy TDs.

     

    But as for our receivers being little mites who can't make contested catches?  Huh?  Diggs is no giant but he makes contested catches all the time.  Davis is a big boy who also makes them.  Then there's our tight ends, plenty of guys you must be confusing with our slot receivers.

    Damn. That sucks. Now he has to wait and see if his new pipes will hold up after being christened by the lads during game day. Let’s hope it’s not 2 in a row…

     

    He said the toilet wasn't flushing when they were done with the installation and he couldn't get them to stay and fix it lol.  The lads (me) can't be there because the place is a disaster until they finish the work tomorrow.

  7. I can't believe you slackers haven't gotten around to making this thread yet.  My friend's place suddenly needed emergency plumbing done for burst sewage pipes, so I'm having bar food at the Canadian base for the Bills Backers (Manhattans in St Catharines, Ontario).  Starting with the good ole burger and fries and seeing from there.

    Honestly I'm going to give the Dolphins credit on this one, there offense is legit. Both teams defenses stunk today. It was a shoot out and the Dolphins made more plays. Pretty plain and simple in my book.

     

    ANY offense would look legit when the opposing defense (like today's Chargers) go "Oh, you're good at literally one single thing, throwing over the middle to YAC merchant receivers?  Well then we're going to leave the middle of the field uncovered and DARE you to try to beat us that way!"  I have no idea what they were trying to accomplish.

    Tua>Herbert

     

    there i said it

     

    It helps that the Chargers apparently didn't read the scouting report on Tua living on throws over the middle.  It's ridiculous how they're just letting guys run free down the middle and making Tua look good tossing to YAC merchants.

    Chiefs need to fix it. Here's why.

     

    If you paid attention to Taylor on almost every play, he way tipping run/pass.

     

    When he would line up further back and rock before the snap- pass. Almost every time. However on run plays he was up more in line with the OG and didn't flinch. Hutch is a really good player, but this was one reason why on pass plays he came like he was shot out of a cannon. 

     

     

     

    That rocking back and forth like a drug addict was a bigger tell than Lamar's habit of tucking his chin on handoffs and keeping his head up if he was going to keep it and run.

  11. It's literally a carbon copy of what happened to us against the Jags a couple years ago, and cost us the game.  Sure we played like crap, but it was a close game and all the non calls for their RT being a full 2 yards off the ball when snapped on every play helped the Jags.

     

    *edit*

    Tackles lining up so far back and never being called for it is one of my biggest pet peeves about officiating.

    I don't think "nothing came of it".  I think it's being worked out in private.

     

    The situation is, with Hines suffering a "non football injury", the Bills were no longer legally obligated under the CBA to pay him his salary or his per-game roster bonuses.  Of course, the team can still *choose* to pay him.

     

    What the agent's "sabre rattling" was about, was an attempt to push the Bills into paying his salary in the court of public opinion.  Since Beane don't play that way, we saw the agent hush up quickly.  Doesn't mean negotiations aren't taking place quietly behind the scenes. 

     

    Beane said they want him back next season.  Of course, that can change if someone else steps into his roles.

     

    "Knock it off with that 'public pressure' crap, or we'll call your bluff and you won't get a dime."

     

    But on the note of Hines being partially responsible, I kind of see where the unpopular opinion is coming from.  Of course he is right to sue and should get every dime he legally can, but it's still stupid for a professional athlete to be engaging in such an inherently dangerous activity.  It's akin to buying a lottery ticket with the prize of pain and suffering, and losing a livelihood worth literally millions of dollars.  No reason to become a recluse in bubble wrap, but maybe stay off the jet skis, motorcycles, etc.  There's a reason these activities are often banned in contracts.
