Pass protection was pretty bad today. The O-line is much improved this season and has been good overall, but this game was a bad one. Drops. Been a problem all year. Deep throws. Do none of our WR understand that you have to fight back through the defender on an underthrown ball? It's an easy DPI call and our guys tend to just keep running forward and let the throw fall near them rather than make a play on it.

On this play in the 1st Q Josh got hit right after he threw it and took a helmet to the elbow area. 3rd & 6 at NE 46 (0:17 - 1st) (Shotgun) J.Allen pass incomplete short left to G.Davis [M.Wilson]. He got up flexing his right hand and I wondered if something happened there.

At least in the US it's called the 'jock tax'. For the London game they would have to pay UK taxes, but I'm not sure if it's regularly taxed income or if they also have a jock tax as well. I know players like to get their salary in the form of an up front bonus and will have their primary residence in a 0 tax state when they receive that bonus so they can skip the state taxes (have to pay federal regardless).

Collins ultimately wasn't the father and while he may have had a motivation at the time I'd like to think the cops would've found something in the nearly 10 years since if he was involved. For the Bills signing him I'm more concerned with his age and injury history

So she has rough consensual sex with him, then calls the police to report a DV incident (with Von Miller fleeing the home after the call).......and then she refuses to cooperate with the investigation ? Theoretically possible I guess, but I would not call it plausible.

Since this seems to be the defacto Von Miller thread now https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39198986/bills-von-miller-says-assault-allegations-100-false He certainly believes he did nothing wrong. Awful lot of deflection in these answers When asked what specifically surrounding the allegations is untrue, Miller said, "All of it is incorrect. I don't know what else ... you know, it's not a funny situation, but all of it is incorrect and all of it is untrue. The only thing that is true is we do have a third son on the way. ... Everything else is untrue." Miller said that there has never been an instance of domestic violence in his relationship. When asked if he and his girlfriend got into a fight that day, Miller said, "Honestly, I wasn't on social media before and definitely not on social media now. But from the things that have been brought to my attention, everything is false. And I would love to sit here and say, 'Ya'll know me!' But it's not, this is not that type of situation because domestic violence really happens around the world -- for men and women. And it's a serious situation so I would not pull that card. All I can say is it is just a matter of time before everything gets set straight." How did she end up with bruises on her neck if nothing happened and it's 100% false/overblown? Police arrived at the condominium, observed "minor abrasions" on her left hand and bruising to her neck, "injuries consistent with applied pressure the neck," in addition to bruising to her abdomen and left biceps, documented when photographs were taken that day by police.

You cannot bring water bottles into the stadium. Here's a complete list of what you can/cannot bring https://www.buffalobills.com/stadium/gate-entry-and-permitted-items You can put any food items inside the 1 gallon plastic bag. I've personally brought in stuff like a bag of chips and a wegmans sub and never had problems.

Injury guarantee or no, won't they have a catastrophic dead cap if they trade/release him ?

Yup exactly where I'm at. Both calls on Morse were trash and a blatant uncalled hold on the Easton TD. I'll also point out the garbage call on Bernad to wipe out the INT. The tripping on Brown was weak as well

Can we talk about the officiating? Felt like there were ~5 borderline calls on the Bills that negated big plays. We would've won this game by 2+ TD's with non-biased officiating.

Wild speculation on my part, but is there any chance they were placing bets on games? And the Colts wanted to get the jump on the NFL suspending them?

The one against the Chiefs a few years ago?

I thought that was hilarious. He got called for a rather weak OPI and then later in the same drive he gets flagged AGAIN. After crying to the refs for about a minute and a ref huddle they decide to pick up the flag. Then the broadcast shows the replay and Kelce blatantly put his hands inside Douglas's pads and ripped him to the ground. One of the easiest OPI calls I've ever seen and the refs decided to pick it up because Kelce cried about it.

You don't consider Toney lining up Offside as a gift ? Broncos also gifted us a win when they missed a 41 yard FG. Unfortunately we returned the gift and gave them another shot with the 12 men penalty Would be nice to see our defense close out a 1 score game without such extreme levels of drama

They have to consider cutting Sam Martin before next week. He's punting from our 44 yard line, and it goes 40 yards (lands at the 16) with no hang time AND in the middle of the field. There was a 25 yard return. The average NFL punter is going to pin KC inside the 20 (likely inside the 10) when punting from there. Instead we netted 15 yards. He was a straight up disaster in the Broncos game. Multiple 40-45 yard punts with no hang time to the middle of the field that gave up big returns. There was so much else going on in that game that Martin's performance fell to the wayside. T Bass has been bad as well, but I'm more willing to give him some time to figure it out.

Adrian Peterson missed 15 games in 2015 starting from the same stage that Von Miller is at (being arrested). It looks like the Vikings deactivated him for 1 game, then the league put him on the NFLs exempt list for 9 weeks, then the league suspended him the remainder of the season. I'm pretty surprised the league hasn't put him on the exempt list. Maybe they are playing chicken with the Bills to see if we sit him on our own.

If a woman is crazy enough to fake injuries to try and drum up DV charges against their significant other they aren't going to recant their claims and say nothing happened the next day. I'm having a very hard time believing that Von Miller was not physically abusive in this instance. What's the alternative? That she self inflicted these injuries to try and destroy his career and then regretted it the next day? That there was some other random guy that did it? Please...

Yes we should ignore it. Why would that have any bearing on the decision in the Eagles game? Should Allen never throw the ball again just because he's thrown INT's in the past ?

I don't pay for the Athletic and didn't see it mentioned in the first few pages of this thread. Are the 4 "sources" saying McD has 0 chance of being fired during the season ? Or are they saying he has 0 chance of being fired at any point this offseason ? There's a very big difference there.

I'd put the Colts playoff game up there for one of the best Bills/Allen victories, but not McDermott's. McD's defense got shredded. We were the 1st team in NFL history to allow 450+ yards, force no turnovers, and win a game. The win was a combination of unforced errors by the Colts (failed 4th down at end of the 1st half, 33 yard missed FG in 3rd Q) and phenomenal play by Allen/Davis (those toe taps at the end of the 1st half).

Courtland innegan

He made a 48 yard FG earlier in this very game

With a 17-7 lead with 10+ minutes left in the 3rd Quarter, against a good offense, your options are 1) 48 yard FG 2) Go for it on 4th and 10 3) Punt Weather wasn't THAT bad. You 100% take the FG attempt. Anything else is hindsight nonsense.
