Ethan in Cleveland

We have that now and it is not a deterrent. League tried to do the right thing to protect QBs but it isn't working. Unless every hit to a sliding QB is a 3 game suspension nothing is going to change.

The only way to fix it is eliminate the QB protections out of the pocket. They are not fair to the defender and as Rex was pointing out the QB is exposed when sliding. It's safer for the QB to dive forward or just get tackled. As with many things in life, it sounded like a good idea but in actuality it makes things worse. Penalizing head shots and shots below the knee in the pocket probably helps. Officials are not perfect but they have done an ok job determining when a hit starts above or below the knee. They need work on the calling the head shots though. They still miss many calls and probably call a few that are incidental contact and should not be called.

In Atlanta Airport...three "Go Bills!" So far!

No change for me. He seems like a fine human being. What's changed? Still can't stop the run. Josh doing amazing things to will the team to victory. I wanted Harbaugh. He's doing exactly what I thought he would do in LA. No matter if they lose in the first round or not he's not going anywhere. So I've just learned to accept he is the HC and put my faith in our superstar QB.

Score more points in the first half so teams need to abandon the run

For sure...I've never watched a game on tablet or phone. Will give it a go

Knox still one of my favorite players. Really thought he could be Kittle type player. He's still very good. Beane took a chance that Brown would recover from surgery. With Dawkins still playing well and Brown playing elite football, Beane can use day 1 and 2 draft picks to address the DT and edge positions. They have solid depth on the OL. Probably can take a chance and wait until 2026 draft to get another OT to replace Dawkins. Though his replacement may already be on the team.

I will be flying home from Paris and over the Atlantic during the game. First game I will miss in quite some time.

What is it with all the missed facemask calls? No way you can call that incidental. His head twisted back.

No guarantee there will be bad weather. Chargers have three first round picks on OL and Harbaugh knows how to run the ball. You always want to face the worst QB. Richardson is the worst QB. Nix is a rookie but he still has Sean Payton calling plays.

Incredible. No idea what Browns safety was doing on that TD. He just stood there while Mimms ran right past him.

Of these teams, Colts have worst QB and HC. Chargers have best QB and HC. I'd take the Colts any day

Love these guys enjoying the game and getting excited on how that play was scored. Like any trick play - called or improvised, You love it when they work and bemoan them when they don't.

Shhh..no mention of WNY Professional Football team in a NFL game thread Wow. I never caught that before. He must sober up for just a few hours each Sunday night.

I actually agree with this. Keep the QB protections in the pocket. Both the hits to the head and below the knee have helped. But once outside the pocket they are a runner. It is not fair to the defense to have to guess if a QB is going to slide or not.

It was as dirty a play as one could possibly see. Sliding QB. Lunging at him. Hit to the head. Forearm to the head. Perhaps the only way ot woudl have been worse is if it was helmet to helmet wit the crown.

Did Berman not include the 49ers game in the fastest 3 minutes? Does he always leave out the Sunday night game?

He deserves it this year but you can make a case for Jim Harbaugh, Nick Sirianni, Dan Campbell, Sean Payton, and Mike Tomlin as well.

18 games. 1 preseason games sounds perfect!

He's a moron.

Trust me. Losing 4 SuperBowls makes you forget many of the great memories. Not all of them of course It's a great time to be a Bills fan but our city and our fans need a Championship!

A Mitch pass and completion!!!!

Bishop challenging several others for 2nd round draft pick busts

TD run, TD pass, TD reception!!!

Does anyone get a sack on taht too?
