I’ve had this thought a lot recently… but that doesn’t mean it’s right. If you’re an NFL franchise and you’re not sure about paying your QB… don’t. Find a comparable player, albeit with some drop off, give him very little money and build a team around him. I’ve observed it with Lamar/Huntley and I think the same thing can be said for Baker/Mullens. Obviously Lamar and Baker are more talented… but if they can’t put it together why waste the money?

If you realized that… you should probably bring it up. You insinuated he was a bad drafter… You’re also not paying attention to how the medical process works. If he’s REMOVED from the board as a medical risk… he’s not going to be taken. Considering one of us has been involved with drafts (outside of their parents basement) and the other hasn’t… I think I’ll stand by my comment.

I think you need to have an understanding of how the draft works before you comment on it. Trey Smith has some medical issues that caused him to be removed from a lot of teams draft boards. It’s not as simple as just picking. If the medical team determines a player is a high risk, it’s not smart for the football guys to ignore them. The medical guys aren’t the in-house training staff either - the team uses independent doctors to conducts tests and review medical records alongside their in-house staff. Also, citing one example of one player in the 6th round that Beane didn’t take isn’t necessarily a strong case for him being a poor drafter…

Lmao dude. I'm telling you this is a true story. My buddy spent some time with AB for work, I asked him to get the scoop on why AB didn't come to Buffalo, that's what AB said. It was all communicated to me in real time. I've honestly never laughed harder.

That’s not going to stop a thing unless the referees throw a flag. Nobody is going to stop being physical because Diggs is physical back.

What benefit does this have? The Bills lose yards and now the refs are focused on them committing penalties??

Blaming the refs is warranted when it’s an obvious missed call. This game was blatantly one-sided when it came to penalties. They didn’t just miss a call in the endzone. They let 3 separate PI/defensive holdings go and then turned an OPI into DPI. Couldn’t stop them in crunch time? Bro they held them to 3 points in the 2nd half… if that’s not crunch time… then what is? Who was complaining about the refs after the NE game? They barely called anything. Only issue was the gift of a 1st down to Mac Jones on 4th down… but it is what it is.

I said the same thing. Moorman4Jesus is a little over the top the last 12 hours or so.

Why is that ridiculous? We’ve played 3 OT games under him and are 1-2. It’s not like we’re going in to overtime 2-3 times a year and haven’t won since 2017. Both losses we got jobbed by the refs and it’s not even debatable. Black jackets running on the field and ruling on “common sense” and this game was the complete opposite. It’s quite funny actually.

No… but I can assure you that the back judge was on the field. And his responsibility there is to identify the primary target when the ball is in the air and help rule on that play. Seeing that the second the ball was snapped Josh went right to Diggs… it wasn’t really difficult to figure out. Do you know where the back judge stands, Gene? He stands at the back of the end zone… the defender was on his knees and pulling Diggs’ jersey… he had a perfect vantage point.

Why is everyone so focused on the referee right there? There’s also the back judge that is responsible for throwing a flag there… what’s the excuse for the back judge? He wasn’t looking?

Explain how the fake is him coaching scared? I get wanting to have Josh on the field, believe me, but he made an aggressive decision by running a fake punt. It’s still an attempt to convert on 4th down.

0-5 in 1 score games. Studies show that 1 score outcomes for teams should generally result in a .500 record. If a team outperforms that… their record in 1 score games decreases by an average of 50% the following season. We won 5/6 1 score games last year (almost 6/6)… good for 83% of our 1 scores. Meaning this season we should be winning roughly 40% of our 1 score games. That would put us at 2-3 in 1 score games and 9-4 in the standings. We’re getting crushed here.

Well for starters… this team has won back to back games this year. Dude… have you looked at anyone else? We currently have the tiebreaker over the teams behind us…

So you think we’re losing 2 of our next 4? That’s essentially what it will take… We’re currently sitting as the 7 seed. Cleveland, Cincinnati and Denver are tied with us but are losing the tiebreaker. They all play each other on top of other division opponents.

Dead as in not making the playoffs?

I’d actually argue the opposite of firing them - I’d prefer to see them made full-time NFL employees rather than part-timers making around $200K. Full-time means more time for training and opportunity to increase accountability.

Well ensuring you’re far and away ahead happens less than half of the time in the NFL. That’s a higher standard to meet than holding referees accountable…

How is it not concerning to you that 54% of games are decide by 1 score and we’re accepting that human error can sway those results?

Because it makes for a more compelling product? The actual concerning point is that they haven’t had decades… the average margin of victory has actually shrunk and the the technology being used is better and they’re still having issues getting it right and holding referees accountable…

Except when a player missed a block, throws a bad pass or loses the ball in the air… those are errors made by actually participants in the game. That’s fine… because you know… they’re the ones who are supposed to decide the outcome in a game. Not the impartial 3rd party facilitating the game….

Yeah, the solution is hold the referees accountable when 54% of your games are decide by 1 score and a bad call can sway that result… that’s the exact solution.

That’s not what I said. Don’t put words in my mouth… just like you shouldn’t put your interpretation on what you thought the ref saw.

You’re ignoring how dumb your statement is and continues to be. 54% of NFL games are decided by 1 score. You’re trying to sell me on the fact that teams aren’t doing enough if they’re playing a game that the refs can influence…

If he saw the head turned and handfighting… he saw the head turned with a handful of jersey you clown. The defender has his head turned and is yanking Diggs’ jersey so bad you can see his shoulder pads. Diggs isn’t handfighting… he has one arm free, the other being manipulated and his jersey being pulled. What you just said in your post above is NOT what you said initially.
