Were his hands under it though? I legitimately dont recall? From memory it looked like he hand two hands on top of the ball and there was nothing behind pig skin and the ground.

and thats exactly why the "rules experts" are useless.

10s of Millions of dollars in camera equipment and we leave it to a guy who likely barely made it out of the 9th grade to throw a red flag in a split second, and a group of guys who he likely beat up to make the right call in the 1st place. Meanwhile millions of guys 5 deep into a six pack can see it hit the ground but the guy who NBC pays to be completely sober cant.

Its 2025 and we still dont know what a catch is.

I'd expect a little less chicken little and a little more faith in the fact that the Bills program is ahead of where the Patriots is right now. The Patriots look good, but until they win the division I want to err on the side of caution because two years ago I was told the Dolphins were going to win the division, the year after that I was told it was the Jets year. Vrabel is a fantasic coach, but he's made the playoffs 3 of 6 years. McDermott is 7 of 8 right now. That and the Bills have Josh Allen. If the Patriots win the division, good for them, but until they have sustained success I am not going to worry about handing them over the division. They are in a great position with a QB on a rookie contract. In a few years that wont be the case. Unless they close the gap before then I am not going to clutch my pearls.

Its one thing to get the defenses eyes going the wrong way, but when a play takes 2 seconds to develop, you're doing too much with the scheme.

Part of it. I think it has a little to do with the development of the quick passing in the NFL. I would imagine the average time from snap to throw has went down over the last 25 years.

James Franklin wore out his welcome by personifying what the Penn State football program has been over the last 40 years, above average but never the best. If the next guy can win 70% of his games he will likely get 15 years as well.

It has to be odd to be a fan that cheers for a rival team to get better just so you can say you were right about everything bad about your own team.

Could you imagine today's wideouts having to go across the middle on Ronnie Lott? They'd likely just refuse to run the route.

Absolutely beautiful woman. The Family Stone is one of my recurring watches. RIP.

Patriots get to 10 wins. Bills get 13.

He may he getting the most separation on the team but that's saying very little. He still isnt getting the type of separation good to great wideouts get in the NFL. The fact that he is on pace for the exact same season he had last near with another very good QB should tell you a lot about Palmer.

If Deion couldn't cover todays wide outs, it would only be a result of pass rush being almost nonexistent. Otherwise, i think the best athlete to ever play corner probably could hold his own.

A few instances. That said, he needed to be on the field more. He looked fantastic.

I dont think I said he causee fumbles. Watch the All 22 yourself if you want. He insisted on calling plays that were not well suited for our personnel against that defense. The formations and personnel had no consistency once so ever. He was much better in the 2nd half, but he did not put the offense in a good position in the 1st half. Not for nothing the Bills had the ball back exactly one play after the first fumble. If you want to tell me the OC was fantastic in the first half when the team scored 3 points be my guest.

Terrible look. When you see Daboll on the sideline you get a sense why it took him a few interview cycles to get a job.

It impacts him too. Then he goes home counts the $280 million dollars he's made in his career, checks his wife's bank account and sees another $20 million, shuts off his laptop, turns his pillow to the cool side and sleeps like a baby.

Looks like he grabs his head there at the end.

From memory its either him or Philip Rivers. If they dont make it soon I am fully on board with going a different direction at head coach. However, I am also open to the idea that making that move isnt an automatic route to the Super Bowl. Thats what I take issue with. The view of McDermott is so overly myopic on this board, that fans are willing to make the move without acknowledging that McDermott is a good coach. It seems like the opinion is if we switch head coaches, the defense will suddenly not give up 30 point games and we will waltz to the Super Bowl. What they never consider is the fact that it could turn out being worse, and maybe just maybe its not all on McDermott. At the very least give the guy some respect for what he's done here. If the Bills move on from him he will be a head coach in the league the next day. The original question here was if we fire McDermott who are we bringing in. The bright ideas so far have been the Ghost of Bill Belichick and trading a pick for Sean McVay when the Rams have given no indication, they are moving on from him. Oh and John Gruden who is currently suing the league and hasnt had a winning season since 2008.

Dont let the Eagles get to a down and distance that allows the play to be called. Its an effective play. That said, a lot of plays are effective when you need a yard or less.

The Big Dom stuff in Philadelphia is maybe the oddest thing Ive ever seen in the NFL. Why does Sirianni need protection from Amazon sideline reporters?

Imagine if the 49ers took him instead of Lance. He might be on his second contract by now.

No doubt. Have to see what he looks like once more tape is out on him. Side note on Mac, I think he would have continued to do fine if he didnt find himself caught up in the mess in New England. Obviously not an elite skillset guy but he can protect the ball and win you some games.

Sure looks like he is going to be at the very least a good starting QB in the league. Doesnt have elite size but sure as hell knows how to play football. Expect some growing pains but hes fun to watch. Skattebo is fun too, not sure his head makes it long term though.
