    Here’s what I found most shocking however—the noise while the Bills were on O was loud, but I was expecting my ear drums to burst given the reputation of the place, and yet it was strangely totally not like that. Even my son who can be sensitive about loud sounds, never once mentioned the crowd noise to me as a negative thing. 

     

    In the stands it's loud, but where you really experience the totality of the crowd noise is on the field. Gotta remember in the stands, the majority of the noise is projected away from you and focused towards the field. I did the color guard for a Bills MNF game against the Browns back in like '09. It was so loud on the field I had to yell the cadence so that everyone in the color guard could hear me and there were only 4 or 5 of us.

    Honestly, these are the kinds of penalties that are most frustrating - ones away from the play or that have no impact on the play. The Bills uncharacteristically benefited from a few in this game, but they are frustrating  to have happen, speaking as a general fan of football. 
     

    I understand why they are important and  have to be called, but……

    Would you think the same if it was a defensive player lined up Offside and they let that slide?

    Ohh great, an Araiza apologist gracing themselves in this long, long thread 🙄

     

    Unfortunately the virtue signaling community rears its ugly head also.....

    Apologist or just speaking facts? 

     

    Dude was labeled by people like you, despite the overwhelming lack of evidence and evidence supporting him.

     

    Keep your pitchfork mob mentality up, looks good on you.

    Araiza was cut by the team.

     

    NFL players are "employed at will", the team can cut them at any time (and bear contractual consequences)

     

    Araiza was not disciplined or suspended by the team or the NFL.

     

     

     

     

    Araiza was cut because of the pitchfork mob mentality that doesn't have the capacity to wait for things to be settled. You know, that American concept we pride ourselves on, innocent until proven guilty. 

     

    The Bills prematurely took action on him to save face from these people.

     

    Him being cut WAS a penalty. The loss of income and career absolutely derailed along with his reputation is quite an injustice.

    I'd like to throw out a thought. 

     

    -What Von Miller is alleged to have done is despicable, and if it's beyond a reasonable doubt he did it, he should not be in the building

    -At this point, it's not beyond a reasonable doubt.  It's not even clear that the evidence is enough to charge him with a crime

    -If he's charged with a crime, for sure, he should not be on the field until the investigation completes.  The NFL has a procedure for this, "Commissioner's Exempt List"

    -If he's not, just maybe...the NFL's procedure of waiting to take action until an investigation takes place...is the 'benefit of doubt' standard we would all like to have applied to us?

    Crazy Talk, I know.

     

    I'm not sure the "team can suspend him".  On what basis at this point?  They can make him inactive, and let him sit on the sideline in civvies, I guess.

     

    Araiza sure wishes this concept applies to him. Unfortunately, the pitchfork community loves to tear people down prematurely.

    Sources say ZERO PERCENT chance McD is fired

    I do see the reasoning, with the way the offense has turned around with the OC change, the injuries to key players on defense. But at the same time his decision making and along with decision on when the offense should switch to burning clock and that god awful prevent defense that never does *****, it's wearing pretty ***** thin. This year we just have a record that makes it obvious.

     

    It's exactly this that is the problem. With a superior team, he wins. When games are close and coaching matters that much more, is where he is very weak.

    This is an underappreciated point.  I don't blame Bean/McD for Miller's injury.  Hell it's not Miller fault either - S### happens.  But swinging for the fences in signing Miller was a clear example of the Bills screwed up priotites in favoring the D over the O. If you're going to take a chance take one with an older O lineman or skill player.  Get closer to SF's offer for CMAC (even with legit injury concerns) as you know Carolina would have taken a little less to get McCaffrey out of the NFC.

     

    In the last 6 seasons the Bills have only taken big swings on offense twice:  drafting Allen and signing Diggs.  And therein lies the problem.

     

     

     

     

    And if the Bills unloaded to get CMC and he had another significant injury, you all would be out with pitchforks saying "I told you so." Injuries are an unpredictable part of the game. Stop being armchair GM's when it comes to players gettin injured.

    Miller signing could have been aj brown or devante adams...another caveman decision by bean and McDermott 

    I'm all in on the fire McD movement, but this is asinine. Von miller was the answer to the Bills pass rush problems that lost them the AFC conference championship. Von was having a great year and helped seal a regular season win against the Chiefs in Arrowhead. Nobody could of predicted his injury. 

     

    Stop with this bull####.

    Singletary & Moss both look much better on new teams

    This is exactly why, 22 carries today for Singletary and 112 yards, 1 TD. 

     

    The Bills rarely give an RB that many attempts in a game and when they did the RBs did well. 

     

    Exactly. The Bills keep running with the RB by committee approach which rarely gives a RB the reps to get into a rythym. They also routinely abandon the run to early. 

     

    Their success is in large part to their teams ability to design a real running game. Something the Bills have lacked since Shady.

    There’s no disconnect at all. I am intentionally pointing out his stats since Taylor came back. Why isn’t he playing more if he is playing so well? Singletary has now had 2 good games this season, why are you celebrating that? 

    Cause it's Jonathan Taylor? Are you serious right now? There's not many RBs you would start over JT.

    And once again, Singletary was backing up Pierce. You fail to comprehend this 

     

     

    You've seriously discredited yourself with your argument. Have a good one.

    Actually yes it is absolutely absurd. Singletary wouldn’t be playing in Buffalo anyway. He was a free agent and no matter how well he had played here he was gone.
    Moss rushed 1 time for 2 yards last week-am I supposed to be impressed by that? He had a couple of good games, but in half of their games his ypc has been under 4. I’ll say it again, complete Isaiah Hodgins syndrome-have a decent game or 2 and somehow that means Buffalo clearly screwed up 
     

     

    Have I said anything about keeping either?

     

    Maybe that's your disconnect. I'm merely pointing out that they are playing well on new teams. And Moss has played lights out on his new team. It's convenient you point out Moss' stats after JT came back and hes getting a single rush versus addressing the season of stats I pointed out he has.
