I imagined the guy in Misery breaking his own ankles when I read this. I actually liked what I saw from Kroft in his highlights, I get the feeling he would be a lot more productive in an offense that was a bit more wide open.

Jason Garrett to Mike McCarthy: "What are you doing here?".

DEAD BALL RULE --- RULE 7, SECTION 2, ARTICLE 1 OF THE NFL RULEBOOK AN OFFICIAL SHALL DECLARE THE BALL DEAD AND THE DOWN ENDED WHEN A RUNNER DECLARES HIMSELF DOWN BY: FALLING TO THE GROUND, OR KNEELING, AND CLEARLY MAKING NO IMMEDIATE EFFORT TO ADVANCE If that's Andre Roberts making the mistake the refs would have given the nation something to laugh at by allowing the rulebook to dictate the play, and who would be able to argue against them? Sad part is that you have Bills fans' agreeing that the Houston returner should not have been penalized for not giving himself as the rulebook requires, much like they agree with the crackback/blindside block called against Cody Ford that took the Bills out of field goal range in OT. Smh Just calling it by the books, right?

Nah, I'm going for the Seahawks. Cool with 22.

Yay Tre!!!

If Daboll were to ever be let go, the one thing that I think he'd have to get props for, is being instrumental in getting Allen to cut back on his reckless habits, by grilling him after a boneheaded play.

Mentioning a Lorenzo Alexander benching in the same breath as the Flutie benching just sounds wrong on so many levels. Lol Neither Stanford nor Thompson are unknown commodities---they're backup material---for your scenario to even come close to being reminiscent of the Flutie benching, I think Vosean Joseph would have to be that younger, mystery player named starter over Lorenzo Alexander at the last second, but he's been on I-R for much of the season.

Later in the game when Ed Oliver chased him down from behind, stopping him from reaching the end zone on a scramble, Brady mini-spazzed as if Oliver had no right to be so physical with him. I've always like Brady as a QB, but after yesterday's game seeing him throw a block at Tre D's leg, then act like a petulant child in the aforementioned play, try to trip Oliver, and not get flagged for clear intentional grounding, I'm at the point where I want to see him take a full-force, solid shot from the blindside, preferrably by a Bills' defender.

Honestly, nobody. I prefer keeping and witnessing the growth of our own homegrown.

Interesting take for sure. I'm hoping Tremaine turns it on come playoff time and reestablishes confidence in him and his future at MLB.

I do wish he was a more forceful tackler, but I also worry that his value at LB could take a hit if moved outside. He definitely affects the middle of the field versus the pass and he is decent to good against the run right now, so I'd hold off on a move switch at this stage. I'm hopeful that he'll gain more consistency and assertiveness against the run as time goes by.

I wish Edmunds was a thumper of a LB'er but he's only a slightly above average wrap-up tackler at the moment, and that issue is compounded by a lack of consistency. Hopefully he understands that to be more impactful in his role of leader of the defense, he has to be a lot more consistent with his tackling. I thought Edmunds played and looked soft yesterday to be very honest...at least on certain plays.

Are you upgrading at MLB like some are calling for? Where on the O-line, Cody or the interior?

That's what a lot of us feel, but do the coaches? Not a lot of negative has been said about Cody of late on the boards so I figured he was trending in the right direction; I still have to go back to re-watch him versus the Steelers, I thought it was said that he held his own in that game.

Cody or both?

Where would you upgrade?

I feel you, man. It's like the refs feel the Bills have no business competing with the Pats and makes sure nothing funny happens.

Getting sick of this crap...and how tf don't they call intentional grounding on Brady early on? Smh

And of course the refs wouldn't see the face mask on Allen during an obvious QB sneak. Smh

That's precisely what I was trying to convey. Hopefully this clears it up and we aren't entering Round 5, or whatever round we'd be entering on that matter. Lol

I already suggested that there should've been a receptiveness to any coaching candidate after the Rex Ryan ordeal, including lesser mentioned candidates like McDermott. If anything I'd be mocking those fans (now using McDermott's success to mock Anthony Lynn) for mocking McDermott, by using bigger named candidates like Shanahan and McDaniels, to brush aside McDermott as if certain that he'd go on to achieve nothing...not their preferred candidate.

I could see them finishing with the same 11-5 record, although I feel optimistic about the Bills' chances versus the Pats and then the Jets.

What would have been the basis for thinking a Shanahan hire crazy, after enduring the Rex Ryan Experience? No one said hiring Shanahan would have been crazy, I'm pointing out how no candidate but one deemed "hot", sufficed as a good hire for a lot of fans, and as a result of that many fans mocked the idea of McDermott becoming head coach before he was actually inked. I'm not convinced that you would have given McDermott the same pass you give Shanahan, had his first two seasons been a combined record of 10-22 regardless of the circumstances, due to him not being one of the bigger-name coaching candidates at the time of his hire.

Making the playoffs for the first time, two seasons after McDermott first accomplished the feat.

Yep, I also thought he had the right temperament and values to turn things around.
