The holding calls on long runs have become outrageous. Block in the back or holding on a kickoff or punt return that goes for more than ten yards is almost predictable. What they need to do is call the penalties that are egregious and obvious, otherwise stop with the judgement calls, because there is too much variability in judgement. There are way too penalties per game. I think on average there are 7 penalties per game in the NFL. Looks like this year the penalties are trending up, on pace for 200 more than last year and 2018. Rather than add more rules, the NFL needs to scale back the refs impact on the game. Stress that only very obvious calls are made, and then use technology to further reduce judgement calls, like where to spot the ball and whether a player broke the goal line or not.

The next three games will reveal about the Bills. They need to show they can score points. If Allen doesnt show more I think all the talk about the 5th seed is going to be something we look back on and hate one another for.

He is on pace for 90 catches and 1200 yards. If our QB threw touchdowns I am sure he would be up there in those as well.

He is a 2nd round talent, at guard. Despite the Bills forcing the issue the kid isnt long or twitchy enough to play tackle. Put him in at guard and he is a mauler.

Would love to see it. Cant take another 4-1 to 8-8 disaster

Thats why no one traded for him. Better catching back than running back

It waa too nice out. I attempted to use the rest of the propane by doing chivettas and mixed veggies. Labatts to wash it down.

Truly hope JA gets his s together because this thing is there for the taking.

Exactly. They should have got a LT before they got another toy on offense.

Mahomes has been a product of extreme athleticism and an amazing support cast. His ankle is messed up so the extreme athleticism is gone. When he signs his next contract the supporting cast will be gone. He is a good player but he also plays above the game rather than in it. If he doesnt win a superbowl this year or next I am not sure he will. Mayfield needs a new coach.

I understand. I am still a giant work in process, but had I not found God and been saved I would have been dead by now. I am glad Duke is where he is. Even if he just becomes a role player, its a huge victory for Jesus and Duke both.

I agree. He is an awkward guy, kind of like a four year old who has candy right before bed. However, compared to the going through the motion guys who bring absolutely nothing to a broadcast, and repeat the same tired garbage every week, I think he is watchable. If nothing else you may get a nugget like saying Edleman gets the nut once and awhile. Very surprised someone was willing to put him on TV, a bit of a ticking time bomb, but thats the fun of it for me.

The XFL needs to do the opposite of everything the NFL is currently doing. Limit replay, cut the crap on the roughing the passer, stop with the outrageous penalties and give fans a game they actually enjoy watching rather than having no other choice.

Depends, is the game on the schedule this year? If so, I imagine Flores would come out and put every starter he has on the injury report with mysterious flu like symptoms which started sometime after the team dinner on Saturday night. #TankforTua

The only players I can see with the numbers to make it as All Pros this year are Poyer and White. Edmunds is getting a lot of positive feedback recently but he hasnt impacted the game in terms of sacks and ints. He may be playing better, but his stats are a bit below what he put up last year. Milano is probably my favorite player on the team, but again he doesnt show up heavy on the stats which I think a lot of national writers look into. The Bills are playing really great team football right now.

Havent bought a jersey in a long long time. I think my last was Posluszny. I am in my mid thirties now and something about wearing another guys name on my back, who happens to be younger than me feels a little strange. That said, if I bought another one I would only buy a former long time player like Kelly or Thomas. May go for something novel like the aforementioned Bryce Paup jersey, I think those are at the very least a conversation starter. Otherwise live and let live. Very weird for any grown man to be putting another person down for their choice of sports wear.

I have stopped watching pre-game shows over the last ten years. I'd rather get home from church, and do yard work up until the kick off and sit down as the game is starting. Any need to know information comes to your phone anyway.

In my opinion the title is a little odd.

To use a Duke Williams term. Zay doesnt have enough Dog in him. Hes a big body kid who needs to be used in the slot because he doesnt do well with contact. Glad we got a 5th.

Bakers GM did him no favors by trading away their best olineman in the Odell trade. Rather than stockpiling wideouts and runningbacks they should have considered trying to find a real left tackle. Baker was horrible last night but he was also running for his life behind that hideous excuse for an oline. Not like SF was doing anything crazy. Brought one safety into the box and cheated the other to Odells side and sent everyone and their brother up the gaps. If Larry the Cable Guy calls some roll outs to that side or the oline blocks maybe they can get the ball to their other high paid diva. Cleveland is proof that you can have all the sports cars in the world but when its time to do work youre going to need a few diesels.

Why not just keep the one they have ans get the band back together by hiring Jeff Foxworthy as D Coordinator

I fully expect A.J. Green to be a Bill before the end of the year.

Dude cant set his feet without being pushed off base one way or the other. His rbs cant block either.

Two things amaze me about this game. How much the 49ers scheme looks like Daboll calla it. And how bad the Browns oline is. Should have used the OBJ picks on a LT.

Correct should say total yards.
