I will believe you and others when someone nails Mahomes just like that and the flag stays in the refs pocket. Until then quoting the rules is a waste of time when they are enforced haphazardly and on a case by case basis.

Last night we watched a Bronco deliberately use a leg whip to make a "tackle" and the refs missed the obvious penalty but the eye in the sky made sure the refs moved the ball back to the spot of the leg whip. We are witnessing a combination of incompetence and/or corruption in the officiating of these games. The NFL better get ahead of this.

And Ellis just did another cheap shot helmet to helmet. Interesting that this is not a penalty in the NFL but in college it is targeting. There is no way deliberately leading with your helmet to the head of an opposing player should be legal at any level of football.

When you watch the hit in real speed then slow mo it seems like he hits Dart in the side of the head:

That would have been embarrassing for a high school kicker.

I'll believe it when someone goes head hunting Mahomes as he's running along the sideline and doesn't get flagged.

He didn't? It looked like his helmet hit Dart's helmet. Again do you believe that they leave the flag in their pocket on the exact same play if Mahomes was the QB?

Does any thinking human being believe that if they hit Mahomes that way on the exact same play there wouldn't have been a roughing penalty called? The NFL is a joke and the prostitute TV ref and cow poop for brains Aikman are both full of feces.

There was nothing wrong with that pass. The fact that Allen hit Coleman in the stomach on a play he first had to pump fake a free rusher and then was nailed as he released the ball was another high level play by the QB. But I will take anything positive with Coleman that can motivate him to turn his game around. If he elevates his play it would be huge for the Bills this season and beyond.

And for the first time in a while a windy, cold day that limits the passing attack would definitely be in the Bills favor. If the weather is crap I see a game like yesterday's where the Bills ground the Bengals down late. If the weather is great and the passing game is enabled I see this game going a lot like the Tampa Bay game with the Bills winning a shootout.

Be very happy and also wonder if they could have won even more SB's with an offensive minded HC & GM. But my happiness at winning the SB would overshadow any such thoughts.

They mentioned it a couple of times.

A little to harsh IMO. First, the Bills O was without BOTH starting tackles AND was missing their most effective pass catching TE AND were missing 2 of their 3 best WR's. In that situation it's the responsibility of the D to keep them in the game and if possibe force game changing TO's. Second, once ignited the Bills O was dominant - 3 possessions; 211 yards (56, 72, 83 yd drives); 17 points and 21 minutes 45 seconds 2nd half TOP.

It's not controversial, it's wrong. Without the threat of Allen teams would be in a much better position to bottle up Cook.

Bingo. The Bills offense struggled in the 1st half but the D kept them in the game. Then the D scores a quick TD and after that the Bills O is dominant: Three 2nd half possessions; 17 points; 211 yards (drives of 56, 72 & 83 yards) and an astounding 21 minutes 45seconds of TOP.

I've lived down here in Cincy since the 1980's and Taylor is an odd one. Overall I don't think he's a good coach but he does know offense. If the Bengal's fire him, and I don't see them doing that, I would want the Bills to hire hm as OC in a heartbeat. You're right about the Brown family as owners. But the issue for the Bengals is that Burrow can't stay healthy and his injuries have compromised 4 seasons including this one. The frustrating thing is Adam's has been available the last 3 seasons as he's been on the Jets, Raiders and now the Rams. It all comes down to choices.

They're so poorly run that they played in back to back AFC Championship games and made it to a Super Bowl. The Bengals made the strategic decision to go all in on the offense. The problem is that Burrow cant stay healthy. Zack Taylor and this offense with a healthy Allen would have played in 2 Super Bows winning one at a minimum.

I am very confident that the Bengal's would have won a Super Bowl with Allen not least because he would have been available to play in a lot more games then Burrow has.

How do the Eagles, Rams, Ravens, Cowboys, Bengals and others have great WR's with their high priced QB's?

I've seen the exact same thing over the past couple of years. Guys routinely making great plays that you almost never see from Bills WR's. You want to feel even worse? Check out a slate of college games on Saturday and you will see that those kids are also making great catches and helping their QB's out. The two starting WR's for Ohio State are better then any WR on the Bills TODAY.

Great throw and an especially great route by Meyers who established his position in the end zone for the TD. High end play by the WR.

Jacobi Meyers, a QB's best friend!

Based on what I've seen from ALL the potential Bills playoff rivals today, the Bills could beat any one of them or they could lose to any one of them. But NONE of them have looked very impressive. This might be a season where getting INTO the playoffs is all that matters because once they're in any of these teams could get hot and get to the Super Bowl.

The key point is that "Steve also gave up a 40 spot in the SUPER BOWL". It has been a LONG TIME since McD coached a D that went to the Super Bowl.

No one is going to convince me that the NFL doesn't want NE back at the top battling every year with Buffalo. A lot of interesting referee decisions in today's Bengals/Pats game.
