If you miss a field goal, the downside is greater the further the distance, because the opposing offense takes over from that spot. I think the risk/reward is already baked in and you actually don't see the insanely long field goals attempted unless time is expiring at the half or end of game or the team HAS to late in the game to keep their hopes alive.

Josh isn't playing particularly well right now. That's a big problem. But I think the offensive coordinator is a big part of the problem as well.

What's wrong with long field goals? You'd rather see an increase in punting?

I'd hire Daboll back in an instant if he was willing to come back.

I don't see why QBs were given all week to prepare balls for Sunday while kickers were only given an hour before the game. The standard should be the same for any ball regardless of it being kicked or thrown. So, if we are wanting kickers to have to use brand new balls, QBs should as well. I personally don't see any issue with kickers getting to prepare the balls how they want OR that they are making longer kicks because of it. Kickers back in the 90s and before could prepare the balls how they wanted as well. They introduced the 90 minute rule in 1999. If anything, they are just getting back to the way things used to be for the majority of NFL history.

As most of us here have been saying all season long.

People blamed McDermott for their strained relationship back in the day. I think it is pretty clear now that Daboll is the more difficult to get along with of the two.

Yeah, I'm fine with the play as long as refs are serious about calling Offside, lining up in the neutral zone, and false starts. Both offenses running the play and defenses defending the play are breaking the rules consistently. If the refs can't rein in the rule breaking, they'll have to ban the play altogether.

It is pretty centered around Kincaid already. Kincaid is 2nd in the league in yards and 3rd in TDs among TE's. Kincaid, Shakir, and Coleman all have about the same number of targets and receptions, so Kincaid is at least one of 3 of the receiving engines that make the offense go. What coaches have a great win percentage without a good QB?

Bills: 28 Falcons: 20

I got chastised here for saying that Allen played a poor game, but as the week goes on, more and more people seem to be agreeing. He wasn't awful. He still made plays. But he had four or five mistakes that were really costly.

Bernard has had good games and he makes splash plays.

Stop with the "soft zone" complaints. You're just showing that you aren't actually watching what the defense is doing. The offense turned the ball over three times. The best QB in the NFL directly contributed to throwing this game away. Yes, the defense wasn't good in the 2nd half, but Allen shares in the blame and is at least an equal party to it.

Shakir is in the slot. Slot players don't play as much. The fact is, we don't have a receiver worthy of being out there 80% of the time. Thanks for providing the evidence. Most people just say things that they figure are true without actually doing the homework to back it up.

No team in the league does this? Are you sure?
