The Red King

"Hey! HEY! Don't you *run* from your coach and savior!"

Asking a question is one thing, but rather then inviting discussion you are defending your original question and framing dissenting opinions as attacks. That doesn't sound like inviting discussion. It sounds like you already have an opinion locked in stone, are only looking for others to support you and getting somewhat angry that nobody is. You asked the question. Sorry if you don't like the answers given, but that's what you asked for.

Depends who you ask. My ex-wife likely has an itemized list. 😁 Kidding aside, Henry is a beast. Teams have to cheat and stuff the box like it was a Twinkee. He's really the only RB in the league right now that commands that much attention. That is why he's not easily replaced. The Titans can put another back in there, sure, but defenses won't have to commit as many defenders to stopping the run. Tannehill has had the success he has because defenses have had to stack the box to contain Henry, leaving a threadbare secondary that makes it a lot easier to pass on. That's all about to come crashing down now.

Did you honestly just ask what makes Henry any different then any other player? Seriously? In related news, and to answer your other question, Tannenhill has big games because opponents need to stack the box with 11 players, an assistant coach and two cheerleaders just to have a chance of containing Henry. That frees up the passing game.

Yes, the AFC is wide-open this year, and their division is weak, but I really hope the Titans don't go all-in and gamble Henry's future in an all-or-nothing bid to win it all this year. He deserves better.

And ignoring the points made by others it seems. Hell, I even reposted my original reply earlier. Numbers are just numbers. Gotta look into the why. IMO these include better ball distribution and our wet kleenex O-line, neither of which are Diggs' fault.

Here's a wild idea, give the refs a challenge flag. They're human. They make mistakes, get things in their eyes, etc. I know they can huddle, but that's just a matter of asking if anyone saw anything. Maybe give them one challenge per half where they can stop and review video footage, as if a coach threw a flag. I know it sounds crazy, it might be, but like I said, refs are human.

Wait...we didn't make a blockbuster trade? But...but there were tweets saying we would! 😏

True, but it's not just hard to see things. I mean that's one thing, yes, but even blatent, in plain sight PI mugging no-calls like during the Colts/Titans OT are missed. That has nothing to do with camera angles. Can't even allow penalties to be challenged. We saw how that worked out after they tried it with PI after a blown call in the NFC Championship game. Refs refused to overturn anything.

The other side is, what can be done? Full-time refs have been one suggestion. You could add more, but then the field gets packed with zebras. We have the All-22, could have a ref in the booth for each player (the NFL could afford it). Calls wouldn't be missed, but with that many cooks in the kitchen calls would skyrocket and there would be a flag every play. Could do a lesser form with booth ref cams on the QB, ball carrier and recievers/DBs? Even then there would be a lot more flags. Complaining about officiating is easy, I was livid Sunday, but it's much harder thinking of a solution.

I reiterate all of the above. Extra emphesis on "Numbers are just numbers. Gotta dig deeper to find the reasons." My concern right now is our Red Carpet of an offensive line, not Diggs.

I know, I screamed at the officiating in the Miami game, but I mean overall. A critical no-call in OT in the Colts/Titans game. And it seems most any game I tune in to has some wretched calls. So, my question is two-fold. First, is it just me, or does officiating overall this season seem noticably worse across the entire league then prior seasons? And second, if so, what do you think can be done about it? Nobody wants to see games decided by the zebras.

Can anyone run behind our O-line? I love seeing our backs get the ball and the closest player isn't wearing a Bills jersey.

Guy's really going out on a limb here, huh? 😏

There is a certain irony in saying "Stay classy", then following with "you *****in' Cheater!" 😁

As stated before, teams are blanketing Diggs. That's freeing up other targets. That, and our offensive line (which I'm starting to dub "The Turnstyle") isn't allowing enough time for Diggs to break free. Numbers are just numbers. Gotta dig deeper to find the reasons. The more interesting narrative is that despite lower numbers Diggs isn't bringing the drama, as many Vikings fans asserted he would. He's bought into The Process.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the stunning turn of events yesterday? With their stunning upset of Cincy, the Jets gained their second win, placing them one win ahead of Miami. Mind...blown. 🤯

Stop pretending. Just put the refs in Dolphins unis and be done with it.

What is OPI? Refs obviouly don't know...

There we go. D bailed out the O hard early on. We needed that TD in the worst way.

Wasn't close, but I'll have to rewatch to see if a receiver was close. That aside, Allen gets facemasked and still lobs the TD. Game's not over by a long shot, but Bills fans got to exhale a lil.

Didn't get anywhere near the line. I watched the replay at the time. It was the one where Oliver came clean.

Speaking of Intentional Grounding...why wasn't it called earlier on Tua that earier play when Oliver...I think...was going to crush him on 3rd down?

Now, to be clear, my screaming about the abyssmal officiating doesn't let the Bills off the hook. The D's getting tired. They made mistakes but hell, only gave up 3 points. The offense is horrible, way outta sync. Hate the play calling, hate some coaching decisions. Someone's gotta wake that team up.

Nice! Sorry, no score for Miami refs. Heck, you really tried...
