You didn't answer the "who cares" part or why it's a penalty.

It means the Bills would be a lock for the Superbowl if Fitz was still our QB. Or something like that.

(written when the Jags are safely down 3 scores)

Who cares if the wide receiver covers up the tight end? Why is this a penalty?

It is - I think I need hearing aids.

I agree totally. Not only should taunting not be penalized, it should be encouraged. This could be the equivalent of fighting in hockey.

6. A 5 yard penalty and a 15 yard penalty should NOT offset. Just net the yardage, 15-5=10. **** What a great bye week distraction, especially after two horrid losses.

I think it used to be 15 yards so there's been some progress over the decades...

I've seen this proposed before, sort of like a football version of a 3 point shot. I think it should be the other way around, there should be MORE points for a short FG, to reward you for driving deeper into enemy territory. If you only got 2 points for 50+, for instance, It would put more pressure on the offensive team that is driving for a FG at the end of the game to tie or win, they'd have to get down to the 30 or so to get 3 points.

Nope, I won my game this week because the other guy was playing Josh Allen at QB.

ALSO: 4. (I almost forgot about this one) - Incomplete pass or stepping out of bounds stops the clock but the clock restarts when the ball is placed at the line of scrimmage. Not in the last 4 minutes of the half though. Games are too long, this is a silly rule. 5. Adopt the college overtime rule.

Here are some rules I think are dumb and that should be changed: 1. After a missed FG, why is the ball spotted at the point of the kick instead of the previous line of scrimmage? The team not only misses the FG but also effectively gets penalized 7 yards. I say change this rule. 2. When a team gets flagged for delay of game, why not give them the option to use a timeout to avoid the 5 yard penalty? It would make for some interesting coaching decisions. 3. In victory formation, the QB should not be charged with a -2 yard rushing attempt. It should be "team yardage" or something like that. I saw a game the other day where the backup QB was pushing forward to get back to the LOS on each kneel-down, which is just dumb and dangerous, but he apparently didn't want the negative rushing yardage. There, I said it. Now back to ragging on Beane and McDermott and Brady.

That explains the first time he did it. Subsequent occurrences are just dumb.

https://bvmsports.com/2025/10/15/buffalo-bills-target-jakobi-meyers-to-revamp-struggling-offense/ The most interesting part of this article is that the BVM Sportsdesk is apparently unaware of the fact that Stefon Diggs doesn't play for the Bills.

Did you know he went to Harvard?

In 6 years with the Bills, their "fullback" has 6 carries for 10 yards. He's actually caught more passes than he has rushing attempts and has caught 2 TD passes. I would think they'd give him the ball now and again just to show different looks if he's already on the field. (As it is, you can tell which way the running play is going to go based on where he lines up.)

I'm tired of the cliches like "Ty Johnson" is the third down back. So I asked ChatGPT to analyze RB utilization for the Bills on 3rd and 4th downs this year (excluding punts, FG attempts and kneel-downs). Here are the results: While Ty may have the title of "third down back" James has clearly done the main work and with greater success. Considering this, it's even more inexplicable that Cook wasn't on the field for ANY third downs on Monday.

Can you believe it? And it's not even Miami haiku week!

Do you understand the concept of poetic license? For Sean, that's like using the F word

One of them didn't lose a playoff game for four straight years. The other loses one every year.

Josh playing hardball - you mean with the Bisons? He'd be a monster 6'4" gold glove shortstop hitting cleanup. I'm all in.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/sean-mcdermott-spoke-to-oc-joe-brady-about-james-cooks-usage-monday-night Here's the salient quote: "Cook was not on the field for any of the team’s third-down snaps" I hadn't realized that.

We wear the blizzard unis for every remaining home game.

In the great Bills Mafia tradition, we should each donate a kidney to his foundation.

Jordan Gay. We should be carrying a kickoff specialist.
