Should be, I park there often and it's typically the least busy of the nearby lots. Often times, it doesn't fill up like the others do, because less of a rowdy atmosphere.

I was simply responding to people asking what anyone saw, no emotions involved. Very sensitive group of posters today, Patriot week and playoffs will do that though.

Lol. I still find it funny that you don't see the irony in the use of the word, but must be lost on you...thats OK. It's the OP word vs nobody at this point, unless you were at the game and witnessed the exact moment he is referring to. I've said what I saw...but will also leave this gem of a post string that was NOT started by the OP, but had a similar look/feel to it. Also clear as day to look.back at that and see the same posters negatively jumping on Beas at that time as well (based on what that OP thought happened). What was up with Beasley today? https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/234850-what-was-up-with-beasley-today/

Not doubting the OP knowledge, just trying to say I did not witness this occurring and was at the game/strong view of the sideline and coaches/players. I've now had multiple people call me Karen's, which I find hilarious, for responding to the OP post (mind it not creating this story). Again, I'm not certain what the OP witnessed at the exact time they saw it. .just saying I saw nothing and Beas/coaches didn't show any issues that I saw on the sideline or as they exited the field.

This is coming from me saying I didn't notice it happen, like the OP describes it. lol. Very emotional post my friend. I'm doing great today, I'm questioning why you're coming after me when I'm just mentioning what i saw...Go Bills. enjoy your day

Lol, I was at the game and didn't witness it. Were you there, what's your take on it? You don't like I questioned the OP, so sorry to hurt your feelings? You plan to keep this charade of Karen sarcasm, so predictable... How about this? I'm not reacting to something I don't like or accusing anyone of anything, except misinterpreting what happened ...I was there and trying to inform that I saw NOTHING happen. OP obviously did...who else is confirming OP comments?

Calling me a Karen, because I'm trying to make sure the correct story and not some.misinterprtation are out there? Really.... OP seems like the Karen act.. let me report something unsubstantiated/see what everyone reactions will be. Sorry to ask for confirmation. Next time I will just follow along and not question/mention anything that I see.

Lighten up. It's not just bringing up, did someone see such and such. It can be and has been portrayed by many already as an attack on Beas or putting him at fault for "supposed" altercation. This day and age, once info gets out there. it's like gospel to people. Just trying to point out that I did not witness it...did you? Or you just believing this happened because you have a beef with Beas and want it to be true? Perhaps OP mistakenly saw what he thought he saw, or the altercation was a nothing burger..again, take it for what you will.

I was also at the game and did NOT notice this altercation on the sideline at all. @Chandler#81 or any mod, are we just taking 1 posters word for it and running with it now? Has @BADOLBILZ been critical of Beas/have a vendetta with him previously? Only ask because. again I did not witness this and this "story" has not been confirmed or mentioned by anyone....including media members. post game interviews, etc

I think this will be a key storyline after our upcoming game...specifically usage of our WRs. Will Sanders be healthy? Given McKenzie carved up Pats last game, will Beas get as much playing time? IMO, Beas has lost a step (maybe 2). He's not as dangerous against man coverage, need more speed on the field. I hope Daboll doesn't overthink this, keep with what worked until Pats prove they can stop it. BB will clearly come with a different gameplan, up to Daboll to be ready to adapt quickly if needed, but McKenzie will be on the Pats radar this time.

They didn't. We started the game on offense, and drove for a TD....few too many drinks? 😁, I'm not judging.

You think the NFL is going to schedule a 3-6, instead of 4-5? Not going to be Buffalo on MNF, regardless of who wins tonight. To me, rubber match is a baseball term. At least how I learned it growing up, maybe not many baseball fans on this board? 🤷 It is a football message board after all.

Prediction only: Saturday: Steelers at Chiefs: 4:35pm 49ers at Cowboys: 8:15pm Sunday: Pats at Bengals: 1pm Eagles at Bucs: 4:35pm Chargers at Bills: 8:15pm Monday: Cards at Rams: 8:15pm

Something simple called Google or one of 1000 sports apps... Bills won by 17 and covered the 16.5 spread.

1 MNF game...and agree, it makes more sense to put a 4/5 for a couple reasons: 1. Mnf is the worse day to play, less rest for winner in round 2. Assuming all favorites win, then 4th seed should get this game. 2. 2nd round of games is most contingent on 2/7 and 3/6 outcomes, so in theory, if you put a non-4/5 on Mnf, it would delay opponents knowing who/where they play in round 2. I think Rams/Cards on MNF is a great matchup and showcases that stadium, that's my prediction

I doubt they put anything but a 4-5 matchup on MNF, since that will delay knowing who will be playing who/where in Round 2. Us and Dallas are currently the 4 seeds. With Dallas flexed to Sat this week, not sure if the NFL is going to give them essentially 2 extra rest days...so I do think if it ends up as the current seeding aligns, then we will play on MNF. I'm rooting for anytime on Sunday.

Agree, this is not the typical Browns offensive strategy. And they are ignoring what has been working against Pitt. Maybe evaluating Baker? Strange either way

It's been discussed in a multitude of posts & reasoning already, but I wanted to provide some statistics & context to highlight why I think yesterday's offensive performance is one of the most dominating/strong showings this season. Much has also been made of Josh's underwhelming QBR performance, 17 rating, so wanted to touch on that (see points #2-4). The turnovers absolutely need to be cleaned up, but I'd call 2 of those "flukes" (tip passes) and the 3rd should have been illegal contact (while Beas running the seam route). Not an excuse, but this could have easily been another 40+ point showing by the offense. I was also encouraged to see the run game pick up chunk plays & convert in the redzone. Key Points/Statistics (based on re-watching the game & tracking each play): 1. Dominating performance/Maintaining Drives: 71 Plays / 4 - 10+ Play Drives / 351 Yards / 28 - 1st Downs / 34 Min TOP / 80% Redzone efficiency. 2. Misleading Stat of the Day: 11-26 Passing, 42% completion %. It's misleading because Josh completed 5/8 3rd down passes (4 going for 1st downs & the 5th leading to a 4th and 1 conversion). 3. Context is important Stats: 9 incompletions were due to Drops and/or Throw-Away passes (ie: to Dion at the goalline or screen to Motor, etc). Josh also faced pressure on 10 of 26 attempts, only completing 3 of those passes. 4. "Clutch" stat of the day: of Josh's 11 completions, 8 went for 1st downs (5 coming on 3rd down). 5. "Make it Count" stat: on 4 separate occasions, Josh threw incompletions on 1st and/or 2nd down, to then follow-up with a 3rd down pass to convert the 1st. Said another way, he went 4-10 (40% completion rate) on a sequence of plays that extended drives. This is like sitting down at a blackjack table, betting $100 and losing on 2 hands in a row, then betting $300 on the 3rd hand and winning (you'd have an extra $100 in your pocket, but lost 2 of 3 hands). 6. No Punt Game (safety doesn't count...Part 2): 2nd consecutive game w/o a Punt. Same as against New England, Josh & the offense are converting critical 3rd and 4th downs to extend drives & score. We're not seeing drives stall at Opposition 40 or 30 yard line, like we did at mid-season, and that's an encouraging sign heading into the playoffs. Note: See the chart below for a quick summary of these stats. Bottom line, it's easy to look at some stats and come away with the impression that the offense struggled to move the ball or had a poor showing due to turnovers/etc. In contrast, they were "inefficient" at times but came through in the clutch when needed. I like another posters analogy of a "no-hitter, but walking 5 batters/3 errors". We dominated TOP, ran extended drives, and had our best showing of the season in the ground game, to go along with very good redzone efficiency. Yes the turnovers need cleaned up, as our defense stepped up to limit the damage, but this type of performance is MILES ahead of where we were at mid-season (ie: think back to the Jaguars game). This is also the 2nd consecutive game with I 100% believe that Daboll/McDermott have made some critical changes to the offensive approach, to go along with better execution by the players.

Agree about the Raiders/Chargers, and general line of thinking for Saturday. Nfl doesn't "want" to introduce any unfair advantages either. Might be indicative of who will be scheduled for wild card Saturday as well. I think Rams/49ers will be a good matchup and meets criteria to "flex", but think NFL keeps them and the Cardinal game scheduled at 4:25 on Sunday.

Zero reason to put New England/Miami on a flex game, Miami is out of playoffs and Pats essentially playing to keep their 5th seed.

Your guess for Sunday night then? I'd think Raiders vs Chargers will be the Snf pick.

Any rumors or official time when NFL is supposed to announce Saturday "flex" games? Just looking at the week 18 slate of games, this has to be on a short list (albeit, possibly at the end) of considerations.

I'm thinking the following will be NFLs choices (for Sat and Sun night): 1. Chargers vs Raiders: HUGE playoff implications, my guess for Sunday night 2. Rams vs 49ers: 49ers fighting for a playoff spot win and in, and Rams for the division title (assuming Cards win tonight). 3. Bills vs Jets OR Eagles vs Cowboys: Bills fighting for a division title. Eagles fighting for a playoff spot, win and in, and 2 potential playoff teams. Will be interesting, I'd put the Bills/Jets at the lowest chance of those listed above, but it likely is under consideration.

Living in Pittsburgh, it's constantly the talk of fans/media that they'll get Russ or Rodgers. But those media clued in don't believe it, and I find it difficult to believe too. Steelers will roll with Rudolph, very likely, with a draft pick behind him. Their roster is no where near a super bowl caliber team. Their defense has underperformed, as the rush defense fell apart and Haden is out of the lineup alot (he's also gone after this yr) in a suspect secondary. Their oline is worse than ours and needs alot of work. My guess is the Broncos will find a way to lure in a QB in the AFC, or Saints would be an interesting team to watch.
