There's nothing worse than the Russell Wilson trade. It could go down as one of the worst in NFL history.

Diggs has better stats than Jefferson. Jefferson has been held to less than 50 yards in 4 games this season. Diggs only once. Jefferson has 1200 yards and 6 TD's, while Diggs has 1200 yards and 10 TD's. I know Jefferson is a great WR, but people are acting like he is in a class of his own. He's not. In fact, our very own Stefon Diggs is having just as good of a season, and probably better. You can point to QB play, but Cousins has always been a stat aggregator. He gets his guy the ball. Why not both?

That's the QB's job, honestly. Embelishing a hit is different than faking an injury, though. Josh doesn't fake injury.

The opposite. Diggs got under their skin.

The results speak for themselves. The Bills are #1 in the AFC. I guess the Bengals should be taking advantage of their rest more. Are you going to be singing your praises when the Bengals lose to the Browns this week?

A lot of football left to play, and they are playing the hard part of their schedule. They beat up a lot of bad football teams. So yes, his stats are good so far, but let's see how he ends up. He just had an embarrassing performance last week.

It makes it a better product, in my opinion. More variety and ways to move the ball. Seems like a silly thing to restrict.

Why? What is wrong with it?

Defenders wrap up the ball carrier high because they are waiting for a teammate to come rip the ball out. They will intentionally hold a ball carrier up, waiting for teammates. I wonder if people are OK with that and think that is in the spirit of the game, but not receiving help from teammates to push the pile. Pretty incredible.

Sheer numbers and brute strength are part of the game of football and always should be. As a defense, you know that pushing the pile is part of the game. It is something you need to account for on most plays. If you don't, you'll get burned by it. Just like a fake punt. You called the perfect defense and stopped the team on 3rd down, just to get a trick play that hurts you. Tough. Suck it up and go play the next down. Referee subjectivity is also part of the game and always has been. There is no way around it. The best you can do is try to make rules clear and simple. The more complicated they are, the harder it is for the refs fo officiate and easier it is to make a mistake. They complained about the hurry up offense and tried to ban that because it wasn't in the spirit of the game. The play is perfectly legal and I have no clue why anyone has an issue with it. I'm seriously stumped as to why this is controversial.

Heck yes, it should be legal. I find those plays very exciting. It would be a shame to take away something that has been a part of the game since the beginning.

I trust Beane. They'll resign him if what they value him aligns with what he can get on the open market, minus any team-friendly money Edmunds is willing to subtract. If they let him walk, MLB becomes a big hole and we can expect Beane to address it in a big way.

It just shows you how hard it is to actually win the Super Bowl.

Assigning random numbers to your whims doesn't ACTUALLY mean anything, you know. The Bills just need to go take care of business. They will be favored to win each of those games.

Raiders seem to always play the Chiefs close. Maybe it could happen. Denver is a tire fire. There is no way. Their defense would have to intercept Mahomes 4 times and take 3 of them back for scores. The Seahawks game is intriguing, but we are still talking Mahomes versus Geno Smith... I just don't think they have the horses, but you never know. The easiest path for the Bills is to just take care of business and win out. Easier said than done, though. Oh my goodness, he does? He hasn't even played all the games this season!

1) Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs) 2) Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division 3) Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games 4) Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference 5) Strength of victory 6) Strength of schedule There are more tie breakers than that, but if we tie in the division than it goes to common games. Then conference record. We both have losses to New York and Minnesota. They have a loss to Cincy, so that plays into our favor if we beat Cincy. Both teams have a tied conference record right now, but a loss to us would give them a worse conference record, assuming both teams come into the head to head game without losing.

The season is lost already for them. Might as well get higher draft picks (although they seem to trade those away a lot), so sit Stafford for a few weeks while they have an excuse. Makes sense to me.

Allen's head is banged into the turf like that once a game, it seems, along with many other QB's throughout the league on a weekly basis. Only sometimes does it cause a concussion. It has to get hit just right, or just hard enough. One guy can be completely fine, and another not. The Tua hits are an example of this. I see plenty of guys take harder hits to the head without any problem. He hit it just right and he got concussed. It's not always about how hard it is. Sometimes it is about what angle the hit is, the angle of your neck and spine when the hit occurs, how much you are resisting the impact, etc.

There is literally nothing to the rumor. Just a bunch of speculation and people refusing to believe that Josh Allen can have a couple of down games without there being some conspiracy theory behind it. Allen has missed time with injury before. If he had a concussion and needed to miss time, he would have. Similarly, they would have shut him down if playing with his elbow injury was a significant risk. The only possible thing is if only Josh Allen knew and kept it secret. But players are monitored during the game and he wasn't checked out. Nobody noticed anything wrong with him during or after either. The concussion theory is a huge, meritless stretch of the imagination.

Even if he fell down in the end zone, it would not have been a safety. His forward progress would have him down at the 1.

I think they were dumb to mention the ground at all when defining the rules. What they are really trying to do is gauge possession. When has possession been established? If you go to the ground and the ball comes out before possession is established, it is an incompletion. If possession has been established, it is a fumble. They say you need more than just two feet in bounds to establish possession. You need a "football move". I'm pretty sure Poyer took a third step in bounds. Shouldn't that be the football move required to complete a catch? Honestly, I think it was a pretty close call on this particular play, but there is enough there to argue that the play should have been an INT.

All it takes is one injury for you to get right back on the Hines experiment train.

Receiver is one of those hard positions to get in. There are so many great receivers out there. You need stats and accolades. Diggs needs to keep balling for a long time, and needs to keep getting pro bowl and all pro nods. A superbowl win or two probably really helps his chances too. But he certainly has the talent. Hopefully he has the longevity as well. He has great hands, great route running, and great competitiveness. He just has to keep it up for a long time.

He is not being utilized enough, in my opinion.

Maybe they meant for the Bills, like it was the first time the Bills had done it?
