Others have already pointed out the game situation: 0-0 in 1st quarter of week 1 vs down by 3 with 1 minute left in the 4th quarter of a playoff game I'll point out that the play itself isn't all that similar either. Ingram is a Running Back, and was pretty clearly an option for Jackson to pitch to on this play. Knox is a Tight End, and was never an option to pitch to. Last point: Jacksons lateral hit Ingram in the hands. Josh completely missed Knox.

~40 degrees, grey, and rainy at that 49ers game. That was the year we started 5-1 only to finish 7-9 (this loss dropping us to 6-6 and basically ending any hope at playoffs).

I've been to at least one game a year since the late 90's Best games 1) vs Patriots 2011. 34-31 win with Fitzmagic 2) vs Raiders 2011. 38-35 win with Fitzmagic Worst games 1) vs Dolphins 2010 (season opener). 15-10 loss. I had a terrible hangover for the game, and in the 1st quarter some guy projectile vomited 2 rows behind me. Stadium crew didn't even put sawdust on it until the 3rd quarter..... I spent that entire time trying to not vomit as well. The game itself was also pretty terrible. 2) vs Browns 2009. 6-3 loss. The worst-played football game in recent NFL history. 3) vs 49ers 2008. 10-3 loss. 49ers opened the game with a TD drive, and then put up about 100 yards the rest of the game. Bills drives kept stalling and settling for (missed) FGs. Peak Jauron era garbage

I have a tough time looking at his history as OC and seeing anything other than a well below average OC. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/DaboBr0.htm

Some police departments out there are actively not arresting violent protesters because the police are "protesting" that some of their members are being suspended while under investigation for murder.

Bills win it 20-17

If we're evaluating Bojorquez from the "kicking" aspect only, I'd say he's probably around ~20th best punter in the league. Yardage isn't great, but placement inside the 20 is pretty good (I will note that a punt from midfield that goes out at the 19 technically counts as a punt inside the 20, but it's still a poor punt). Overall evaluation we need to consider the blocked punts, fumbles, or how about that time he was the holder on a FG attempt, and he was the only player on the field that thought the play was a fake? One of the stupidest plays I've ever seen in the NFL. All told he's definitely a bottom tier punter, and it's pretty disappointing we couldn't find anyone better.

So the only thing that matters is that Bortles won? Does that mean Bortles outplayed Roethlisberger in the playoffs that year? Bortles was 14/26 for 214 yards 1 TD 0 INT Big Ben was 37/58 for 468 yards 5 TD 1 INT Jaguars won the game 45-42

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. I was referencing Kelvin Benjamin. That trade was an unmitigated disaster. We can say that Beane is doing a good job overall, but that individual trade was one of the worst in Bills history.

What do you mean "if" ? For the low cost of a 3rd+7th and 8.4mm deadcap Beane managed to get a player that posted this stat line: 39 catches for 571 yards and 2 TD in 18 games

If Bortles outplayed Tyrod it was by a pretty slim margin 17/37 for 134 yards 0 TD 1 INT 7 rushes 27 yards vs 12/23 for 87 yards 1 TD 0 INT 10 rushes 88 yards I vividly recall Bortles throwing into the dirt multiple times when he was not pressured and had a wide open dump off (just flat out missed Fournette)

Good job ignoring the 8 rushes for 77 yards and a rushing TD. That definitely brings that game up to "fine".

Tyrod's tenure in Cleveland was 2.5 games. Week 1 vs Steelers 15/40 for 197 yards 1 TD 1 INT 8 rushes for 77 yards 1 TD 21-21 Tie Week 2 vs Saints 22/30 for 246 yards 1 TD 1 INT 4 rushes for 26 yards 21-18 Loss (Interestingly enough, TT actually lead Cleveland to what should have been the game winning TD with 1 minute left in the game, but they missed the PAT, then the Saints kicked a FG as time expired) Week 3 vs Jets 4/14 for 19 yards 4 rushes for 22 yards Injured by halftime and Baker took over. Baker played pretty well and TT never left the bench after that. Pretty ugly game against the Jets, but Tyrod played fine in the first 2 weeks. Seems like a lot of fans on here forget all of Tyrod's average games and only remember the duds (he has significantly more average games than bad games). He's not the long term answer at QB, but he's really not as bad as many posters on here make him out to be.

I've watched a lot of NHL playoffs games and am really enjoying it. It would be better with real fans of course, but as that's not an option I'm ok with fake fan noise. I would prefer no fans at all and fake fan noise over a stadium at 15% capacity with no fake fan noise. Just my 2c

Question for people that want to attend games in person: Would you enjoy going to a game with 10,000 people and strict mask/social distancing enforcement? Even if you're not concerned about catching or spreading this virus, does that sound like a fun time? I'd rather stay at home and watch on TV than get some faux fan experience in person

Pretty in depth article https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/10/the-disturbing-saga-of-robert-kraft II. THE SEX RING On February 19, after staging dramatic raids on nearly a dozen massage parlors in South Florida, Sheriff William Snyder held a press conference. Local officers, he announced, working alongside Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security, had busted a $20 million sex trafficking ring with tentacular reach to New York and China. Many of the women, he said, had been tricked into coming to the United States and had been working to pay off debts to traffickers before being rescued. “I don’t believe they were told they were going to work in massage parlors seven days a week, having unprotected sex with up to 1,000 men a year,” Snyder said.

I doubt the sex slaves that were being forced to work there against their will view it as a waste of taxpayer dollars.

The article was a bit light on details, but I don't see how this video was tossed out. Maybe it's a procedural thing. Did the police mess up the paperwork for the warrant to setup video surveillance?

Why is this a make or break year for Allen? Simply put, because of the salary cap and rookie QB contracts. If a QB can't play at an elite level by years 3 or 4 of a rookie contract, when their team has ~25m+ to spend on the rest of the roster, they will never be able to play at an elite level. It's irrelevant if QBs 20+ years ago took longer to develop (I've seen a few people mention Brees, the Mannings, or Kelly). The game has evolved dramatically since then. The NFL changed rookie contracts in 2011 and there hasn't been a single QB drafted in the 1st round after that point that took more than a few years to develop. The only possible name is Ryan Tannehill, and I think his 2019 season was more a result of being in the perfect team situation combined with a small sample size.

Just look at the Tre White thread. And he was only considering opting out prior to the season starting, not in the middle of a playoff series.

Easily the worst in game decision I've ever seen a Bills coach make. You have a 4th and 1 on the opponents 41 yard line, with 4 minutes left in OT, in a game with extreme weather conditions, and a tie severely reduces your playoff chances. Punting there was unbelievably dumb, but a lot of people forget/forgive it because we ended up winning. This is also the guy that decided to start Nathan Peterman when we were in the midst of the playoff race (week 11 vs Chargers), and went into the next season with Peterman as his #1 QB.

There's not much of a downside. There's the "what if" scenarios. What if the team doesn't meet expectations this year? What if our suddenly cost conscious owners won't fire him and eat that cost? What if we could've been better with a different coach? I don't see much of an upside to extending him with 2 years left either. I suppose if we win the SB maybe we locked him in at a lower price and saved $$

I was going to go with Marv Lewis. Good defensive coach, but question marks on offense. Good enough to make the playoffs, but not good enough to win in the playoffs. Lewis also brought a once joke of a franchise to respectability.

Sean Mcdermott with the remaining 2 years left on his original contract. If we're SB contenders this season you can give him the mega extension after the season is over

Why are we rushing into an extension when he still had 2 years left on his first contract? His the best coach we've had since at least Wade, but all he's shown so far is that he can take average teams to a first round playoff exit. I would've waited at least 1 more year before extending.
