Breaking news: Zeke Elliott fined $34,231 due to wearing tiny shirts

I have to wonder if this article was written by Star's agent? Look at play #4 Two things jump out on this play. The first is noted in the GIF. The Patriots have seemingly planned specifically for Lotulelei. The hand-off pushing out to the side a little with the blocker making a beeline right for Star is suspicious after the linemen let him through. The second thing to notice is how quickly Lotulelei reacts to the hand-off. He’s initially looking to hit Brady, but is starting to change immediately. What jumped out to me was Star getting dominated 1 on 1 by a fullback and the Patriots running it 12 yards straight at him. Star is a pretty bad contract any way you slice it. Generally speaking you have to overpay to get a UFA signing, but Star never should've been paid over 8 mil AAV. Snacks Harrison makes less than Star and he's actually a really good run stuffing DT. Star is a rotational space eater that doesn't make much of an impact. I want more from the highest paid player on the team.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/antonio-brown-steelers-wide-receiver-accused-nearly-hitting-toddler-furniture-thrown-from-balcony-2018-10-09/ AB said someone else threw the furniture. I can't find a better article on the status of the lawsuit. Settled out of court perhaps?

There were a lot of red flags this season with McBeane 1) Multiple blowout losses 2) QB situation in general, and Nathan Peterman in particular. It still blows my mind that we went into week 1 with Nathan Peterman as our starter and Allen the only other QB on the roster. No excuse for that. 3) Cap usage. The salary cap hell we are in is mostly McBeane's fault. 4) Mediocre/bad FA signings and trades (kelvin benjamin) That being said, a 6-10 finish is about the best you could've hoped for with this roster. Next season is the make or break year IMO.

9 - Crossman - Last game of the season, last time to call for his job. When your coach doesn't know his kicker is too injured to make a 45 yard field goal, there's a problem. We still have Hyde fair catching punts. The unit is just a mess and I hope McDermott does what's necessary Punting sucked too. Darr had a couple of ~30 yard punts with poor hangtime. How is that even possible for an NFL punter?

During the first game against the Patriots this year I was furious about Edelman calling for a fair catch and then launching at our gunner's head. I thought that was a very easy penalty call, and I was happy when he was fined for that. In this most recent game I was watching for any dirty plays. And, to be honest, I didn't see any. There was 1 play where he called for a fair catch and then blocked our gunner, but he didn't target the head or put much force into it. I didn't think that deserved a penalty, let alone a fine. I have to say I'm happy to see the league targeting Edelman. They must've had a conversation with him and told him to knock it off (and he hasn't gotten the message).

I wouldn't call a fine for 1/16th of the guys salary a slap on the wrist. That 9k fine means a lot more to the ref than the 53k fine does to Hughes.

QB A Completion 61.8% for 3,139 yards 15 TD 10 INTs QB B Completion 71.3% for 3,490 yards 23 TD 9 INTs One of these QBs is clearly better, and it's not Keenum...

It's a minor miracle he didn't cost us the snow game last year vs the Colts. 4th and 1 from the Colts 41 with 4 minutes left in OT and you punt??!!?? When a tie essentially eliminates us from playoff contention.

Jarvis Landry on Aaron Williams? Anyway, this was a very chippy game. Perhaps Dawkins chop block on the 1st offensive snap set the tone. Perhaps the Jets were really fired up after getting embarrassed at home the last time we played them.

It's not hyperbole when we say the Bills have the worst WR corps in the league. Watching prime time games there's almost always at least a couple plays where I'm thinking "Wow, that was a bad pass, but the WR made a great catch. That never happens on the Bills".

Special teams was a disaster (minus recovering the fumble by Jets). Offense was fine. 23 points on 368 yards and 34 minutes TOP is fine. 3 turnovers isn't good. Defense was mostly great. Of course, they crumbled in the clutch and gave up very untimely TDs. If our ST unit was just a bit below average, as opposed to a disaster, we win this game pretty easy. Jets wouldn't have been close enough to make a difference.

We only saved 2 mil against the cap by trading Dareus. Most of his contract turned into dead cap after the trade. There was an out in his contract after this season. Given that we barely save against the cap by trading him, I would've rather kept him around.

Has he gotten any personal fouls this year? I can't remember any

Couldn't agree with this more!

Don't forget the atrocious challenge in the first half! Or in the 2nd half taking a timeout after the TD to get the 2 pt conversion call in!

It's pretty easy to forgive JA for a bad pass when he was scrambling like a madman and throwing across the field. Worse passes than that are routinely caught around the NFL. Watch some other games and see the types of catches other teams make. This 100% should've been caught by Clay.

I thought they don't do reviews for forward progress?

I voted Yes. After watching the video I think a 6 game suspension would be more than fair, and he deserves a second chance after that. As far as McBeane not wanting a character like Hunt.... the only difference between Mccoy and Hunt is that Mccoy was never caught on video...

He's out of the league until Goddell removes him from that list. It doesn't necessarily have to coincide with legal issues being resolved.

Couple thoughts 1) The NFL only cares about domestic violence when the video leaks 2) This wasn't as bad as Ray Rice 3) The Bills should try and sign him

The only calls I can remember being bad were the hold on Edmunds and the hold on Johnson. The call on Edmunds was egregiously bad and was a 3rd down conversion. My bigger complaints are how the managed to kill the flow of the game and lose control of the game. At this point I have to wonder if it's possible for an O-Linemen to be called for holding when it's on Jerry Hughes. The guy gets mugged multiple times per game with no calls. I realize Hughes will frequently embellish to try and fish for a call, but there are multiple plays per game that are legit holds and it seems they never get called. Was I the only one that thought the Jags were getting away with liberties on Josh Allen? Couple borderline late hits, including one to the head after he slid. There was very little force to that hit, but it was well after the slide, and to the head.... (maybe JA embellished it a bit). If that was Brady that's 100% a penalty. Why do teams get away with that stuff on mobile QB's ?

Would we be a playoff team with Tyrod? Probably. The 2nd wildcard in the AFC is going to be a pretty bad team (just like last year). With how great our defense is playing I think TT could get this team to 9-7. For those pointing out that TT flamed out in Cleveland, let's take a look at the games he played. Week 1 vs Steelers 21-21 tie. Tuhrod goes 15/40 for 197 yds 1 TD 1 INT. Adds in 8 carries for 77 yds and a TD. Pretty awful completion percentage in a torrential downpour (Big Ben threw 3 ints that game). Browns had a 43 yd FG blocked in OT that would've won the game. Week 2 vs Saints 21-18 loss. Tyrod goes 22/30 for 246 yds 1 TD 1 INT. Adds in 4 carries for 26 yards. Pretty mediocre stats that you can't really complain about. Browns missed 2 FG's and 2 PAT's this game. Week 3 vs Jets. Tyrod goes 4/19 for 19 yards in the first half before being concussed and replaced by Baker Mayfield (who led the Browns to a win). Can't really defend this one, those are pretty brutal stats. Those games are pretty much vintage Tyrod. Pretty meh against Steelers and Saints, did enough to put his team in a position to win, and would've won both games with a competent kicker. Awful against the Jets. I think Tuhrod being benched is more about how successful Baker was once he took over, as opposed to TT being bad.

NE just got smoked by the Titans. The Bills beat the Titans this year. Therefore.... In all seriousness I think we have about a 0.0001% chance of making the playoffs.
