So let's ignore the easily fixable issue that could cost us a game in the future?

I'm pretty sure you're trolling, but I'll bite anyway. Yes, Bass made the kick. I disagree, I think plenty of fans would've noticed without Feeley pointing it out. Having laces pointed directly at the kicker is a very rare occurrence in the NFL, and Bojorquez has done it multiple times this year. Yes, the game was a disaster, and there are plenty of things to worry about going forward. This play was irrelevant to the outcome of the game. BUT it's something that COULD cost us a game in the future (plenty of games come down to missed FG or PAT). AND this is something that can be very easily fixed. You either tell Bojorquez to stop being a knucklehead, or you have someone else (IE Barkley) as the holder. It's really that simple

Maybe I'm not getting as worked up over this because the game was already out of reach, but I think letting the play stand was the correct decision. The NFL likes to say they need "clear evidence" to overturn the call on the field. Looking at the freeze frame it appears that his back foot is no more than a few inches beyond the LoS (note that since his foot is in the air we can't say definitively where his foot actually was at that time). He was probably over the line, but I can't be certain he was actually over the line, thus the play stands as called. I'm much angrier about the Rams INT and the non-TD for Brown not being overturned.

It could cost us a game, and it's something that should be very easy to fix.

This is a good shot of why they let the play stand. The blue line was off by a good amount, the real line of scrimmage was the 7 yard line. Tannehill's back foot was close enough to the 7 when he released I can see why they let the play stand. Side note: the broadcast and announcers were both atrocious last night. How many times do we need to see a kick off from the kickers view? How many key plays didn't get a replay? How many times are the announcers going to say "The Titans are heroes for playing so well after two weeks of not practicing" Let's ignore the video proof that they broke NFL protocol to hold in person meetings/mini practices?

Titans had the 31st ranked rushing defense entering tonight. Coaching obviously thought that was a weakness, and obviously it did not work at all for us tonight. Bills finished with 57 yards on 20 carries (minus the garbage time runs) I agree on the defense that it's been bad all year. With an average offense this team would be 1-4 right now

It wasn't a perfect pass, but that's a catch 99% of the time in the NFL.

Yeldon did a good job of plowing ahead for ~3 yards. Singletary had a number of runs where he had multiple guys on him in the backfield. Dunno if that's on Singletary or the O-Line (but i'm leaning towards the oline)

I like that you grade the QB on his performance rather than the outcome of the game. This was definitely the worst game by Josh this year, but it wasn't terrible. I think B-/C+ is fair.

I'd give an HM to Tre White. After signing that huge contract I'd expect him to continue playing to at least a pro-bowl level, but he's been pretty bad (and now injured).

How does that make any kind of sense? The Titans have to forfeit for breaking the rules, and those wins should go to an NFC team??? Not following the logic

Few more stats QB rating is 128.4 for Rodgers to 122.7 for Allen (we can make the argument Allens INT wasn't really an INT, but ultimately that's how the NFL scored it). Rodgers has 0 fumbles. Allen has 2 fumbles From a stats perspective it really is neck and neck, but I'd give the slight edge to the 0 turnovers

You're right. Rogers has a slight statistical edge over Allen. Wilson has the statistical edge over either Rodgers or Allen, and if the season ended today (with the narrative that he's been an elite player for so long without an MVP), would probably be unanimous MVP. To OP's list: I don't think they'd give DPOY to Garrett unless he's a complete run away stats wise. Bad optics to give him that award after the helmet beating incident

It was all of them. My point is that Carr was good enough to have a 12 win season when he had a strong supporting cast. Do you think the Bills would be 4-0 right now if Diggs and White were not on the team? The Raiders had a good team, but decided to blow it up for some reason. I can empathize with Carr's statement about losing

When's the last time the Bills had a 12 win season? To then trade away one of the best defensive players in the league (Mack) and a bonafide #1 WR (Cooper)?

Remember when Carr had a good supporting cast and the Raiders started the season 12-3 ? 2016 is ancient history I guess

Re Officiating: The John Brown TD is another ridiculous "play stands" that went against the Bills. I'm guessing the replay official decided there was not conclusive evidence that Brown completed the process of the catch while the ball was on the goal line. The Carr would be fumble that they declared his forward progress was stopped was a pretty terrible call. That was a routine strip sack, and I didn't hear a whistle until well after the Bills had recovered (if the ref had truly thought Carr's progress was stopped they should have blown it dead immediately). The refs called 3 offensive holding penalties on the Bills. The only one that got a replay was the call on Diggs, and it was a very weak call by 2020 standards. The other 2 holding calls did not stand out to me live and did not get replays. Poyers DPI was a weak call. The block in the back they called on the Raiders was a very weak call. The illegal formation that took the long TD off the board was the right call, but had no impact on the play itself. The play where they called offsetting penalties I thought calls on both teams were weak. All in all a pretty terrible showing by the refs. I disagreed with a majority of the calls they made, and disagreed with the non-overturn on Browns TD. Why even have reviews/challenges if the refs refuse to correct mistakes?

I mean... one game has been cancelled this week, and another has been postponed. Literally unprecedented

Before the season started I thought we would finish 10-6. After the 3-0 start, with how Josh Allen is playing, and with how the DEF is playing I think 10-6 is the worst we would finish (barring injuries). I have faith that McDermott will fix the DEF, but even if he doesn't, JA is playing well enough to get us to 10 wins. If the DEF gets fixed we're looking like a legit contender and should expect 12+ wins (again, barring injuries).

I think the danger with horse collar tackles is less about the defender falling across the back of the legs, and more to do with how a person crumples when they are tackled that way (both are dangerous though). In that video the defender doesn't touch TO's legs. His body crumples and he blows out his knee. For the play in the Bills game, I think if that same play happens and the defender isn't named "Donald", or the QB isn't named "Allen", they would call it roughing.

No, but I wasn't looking to scapegoat Mcdermott for going 6-10 with a terrible roster either. I think Gase does need to stop getting blown out though, a few games to prove the players didn't quit on him should be enough to save his job

Our defense has a bad habit of disappearing for multiple games at a time. This has happened every season under Mcdermott. 2017 Week 9 21-34 L to Jets Week 10 10-47 L to Saints Week 11 24-54 L to Chargers That was 3 consecutive games our defense couldn't stop a thing (remember the Saints running the ball 15 consecutive plays?) 2018 Week 1 3-47 L to Ravens Week 2 20-31 L to Chargers The defense allowed a TD on pretty much every drive until the 2nd half of the Chargers game 2019 Week 7 31-21 W vs Dolphins Week 8 13-31 L to Eagles Our run D was absolutely gashed in consecutive weeks. Luckily the Dolphins were a terrible team and didn't capitalize. 2020 Weeks 2 + 3. Don't think I need to elaborate here. Thankfully Allen and the offense are playing fantastic football and we're winning. McDermott is slow to adjust, but he has adjusted in every season and righted the ship. I have faith he'll do so again this season.

Maybe I'm the only one, but if I was a Jets fan I'd want to see the GM fired before Gase. Gase has proven he's an average to a little below average HC through 4 years in the league with a 30-37 record for 2 teams that did not have high expectations or very good rosters. I'm looking up and down that roster and I see a team that would be in the running for 1st overall pick regardless of who the coach is.

I was worried they were going to review the DPI call at the end of the game. Then I learned that pass interference is no longer reviewable. Pretty funny that they tried it out for a year and then scrapped it b/c they were too cowardly to actually overturn bad calls. They'll probably re-instate it after another rams vs saints fiasco

No they have not changed that rule https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/completing-a-catch/ If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both players retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control. If the ball is muffed after simultaneous touching by two such players, all the players of the passing team become eligible to catch the loose ball.
