    Why “should” they? 

     

    Well they certainly shouldn’t automatically lose possession.if the defense doesn’t recover it. The defense was getting gashed up to that point and should not be rewarded for playing poorly possession by simply forcing a fumble. The next logical thing to do is place the ball where the runner lost possession. In either scenario whether the defense forced or the offense itself caused the fumble.

    Wouldnt creating a fumble be a great defensive play, and frankly more worthy of earning possession than a player that doesn’t show care for the ball?

    I’m talking about the scenario where the defense did nothing to cause the fumble, the offensive player simply futzed it through the end zone. In that scenario, the defense deserves no reward.

    But in your scenario, where the defender caused the fumble, then the offense should retain possession at the point where he offensive player fumbled.

    This is exact scenario where the rule is unfair and needs to be changed. The defense was getting gashed, doing nothing, the offensive player fu,blew the ball on his own and all of a sudden defense gets automatic possess on the 25??!! The defense did nothing to deserve the ball. Rule needs to be changed, in college too.

    What if the defense forced the fumble?

    If the defense forces the fumble, then the offense should get the ball back at the point where the runner lost the ball.

    If a team fumbles through the endzone it SHOULD NOT go to the other team.

     

    They did nothing to get the ball they don't deserve the ball. It should stay with the team that had possession, just like it does when goes out bounds on the sidelines. That rule is really one of the worst in the league.

     

     

    This has happened many times and did again today in Pittsburgh, and needs to stop.

     

     

    Completely agree. Same dumb rule exists in college. If a team is driving and the defense is doing nothing, the defense shouldn’t be rewarded with the ball. The defense was playing poorly, not stopping a drive, and doing nothing to deserve the ball. An unlucky fumble mistake though the end zone should not award the crappy playing defense in any way.

    Doubtful that the Bills get anywhere close to the playoffs, thanks to some dreadful QB, OL, and WR play early in the season.  The D also had some dreadful early games. However, they are starting to come together, and could end the season as one of the hottest teams in the league.  The young guys are stepping up, learning from the vets, and they are becoming a speed team on both sides of the ball.  Still no playoffs this year, but the improved play will go a long way for next season.  It will also allow them to go BPA in the draft, as some holes are being filled by the young guys.

     

     

    Well said. Forget both the playoffs and high draft position. All the bad teams will win another so our draft position won’t change but a few spots if that if we put up some more wins. Much rather see the team continue to show gradual improvement and development. It’s not momentum for next season, it’s HOPE that the team has some talent and is not as otherwise desperate.

    With the Jets, he was able to manufacture a pass rush without talent, see Maybin, Aaron. Bowles can't seem to generate any kind of pass rush while playing a lot of man to man and single high. That's a recipe for lots of failure. I blame MacCagnan as well because they never bothered drafting any edge players. They still have not replaced John Abraham and Calvin Pace and it's been years now. 

     

    Let's not forget that their run game coordinator is Rick Dennison. 

    Good points. 

     

    Rexy needs to be in the booth doing color. He’s a great Xs and Os guy and is flat out hilarious. He should be on their MNF crew, which is a debacle. Worst broadcast crew in any sport.

    really should give the kid until after the bye. make sure the elbow is healed well. no need to risk it even as much as some are desperate to see him on the field the wise choice would be to wait.

     

    I agree with you. There’s no need to rush him back. We’re not contending for the playoffs, and the injury is a non-trivial one. Give him the extra time through the bye week to heal up. Peterman could have been worse last week.

    I don't know what the odds are. But i'd start Barkley. Just get me to the bye and Josh can get back on the development track after.

     

    ... but for the love of god and all that's holy, don't put Peterman out there unless you have no one else. I can't watch another game of him.

     

    Barkley would be far worse than Peterman. No way.

    Well that coach that got us to the playoffs decided to ditch the QB who took them to the playoffs for the guy who couldnt make it through half a game. 

     

    And of course theres no such thing as a fluke, I'm sure if they had to the Bengals could replicate that catch again if they needed to.....

    Yes, and ditching TT is one of the moves people can fairly consider as questionable.

     

    Dude, going 9-7 over the course of an entire season is not a “fluke”. I conceded that they made the playoffs with some luck. The point is that going 9-7 with an undertalented team and bad offense is enough to indicate that our coaches are decent, that they’re not the absolute worst, and that there is hope for the future: last season absolutely is evidence of that.

    But what have they showed you so far on their tenure here that they know what they are doing on offence and the only reason they haven't been able to right the ship was money?

     

    THEY CREATED THE DEAD CAP SPACE THEMSELVES. They decided that they had to get rid of good players and take the cap hits to get picks, they even dealt picks to obtain players they later dumped before playing in a meaningful game for them to take on dead cap. The have made more bad FA signings then good ones since coming here and haven't been great with trades either.

     

    So we should cut them some slack for putting themselves in a dead cap issue and having little talent? I think most people could cut them slack if they had shown that they are as good at evaluating talent as their are with dumping it and collecting picks and cap space.

     

    They got us to the playoffs last season, with an undertalented team as a whole and poor offense! That’s tangible evidence that there is some hope. They coached us and otherwise got us to a winning record, and with some luck the playoffs. They’ve also done at least a decent job in drafting thus far to put in place some hopeful foundations on which a solid team can be built, putting aside personal judgments on not just Allen but also Edmunds and the rest of the lot. These things show me that there is at least some hope for the future. This next draft and offseason will be the tell alls as to whether the current leadership is the right one for us. Then we can judge in final.

    I definitely do and have said so on a number of occasions.  That doesn't mean any fan should be confident or relaxed enough to think they execute said plan effectively.  Personally, I'm in wait and see mode.

    I’m right with you in wait and see mode. And I’m right with you about questioning some decisions and not feeling all that confident that they can right this ship. I’m trying to be as hopeful as possible.

    The OP said relax without providing any reason to do so.  They have made very questionable decisions that should cause concern irrespective of the available cap space which my exact point. 

    I agree that some of their decisions support having not much faith in approaching this offseason. But don’t you think the front office and coach need to be able to execute their plan before we can make final judgment? They’ve planned for this huge cap space, now they need to prove to us that they can use it wisely and as needed (and there are lots of needs). 

  12. 3 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said:

    Available cap space must be allocated properly via good decision making in UFA and/or trades. Can the Bills' front office led by Beane make the right decisions to address the talent deficiencies?  That's the real question at hand.  Just stating the amount of cap space for '19 shouldn't give anyone comfort enough to relax.

     

    Thats why the OP said we have to see what happens this offseason and next year. They need their third year at least to be able to answer your question. If answered favorably, the fan base will have more confidence in them sticking around. If the answer to you question is No, then we all know the ax comes out. But as OP said, the current situation is part of their plan, which includes making the offseason moves necessary to address the glaring talent woes. They’ve set themselves up to do that, which deserves some degree of credit.

    Who will be available in free agency to address our talent deficiencies? Forget for the moment whether any free agents would want to come to Buffalo - which actual players are there who COULD feasibly come here to address our problems at OL, WR, etc.
