    Peter King relayed  a story last year. involving a fan asking Rodger Goodell about ball tracking with a chip and if that would eliminate the need for things like the chain measurement. 
     

    Goodell essentially winked and replied, sure they can use more technology, but it’s great drama in those moments, and at the end of the day the NFL is an entertainment product. 

    I follow every Bills roster move, moment of every game, and have for years. Yes, I remember the games and how it felt when the Bills won or lost, but more importantly it’s all the moments in between watching the game with friends, family or 70,000 likeminded strangers in the stadium that stick with me and matter. The game is a means to all the other bonds we make along the way. It has no other meaning outside itself that impacts our every day lives. 
     

    Which brings me to the last part, while scrolling twitter this morning for all the latest takes, I came across the below from one of the Patriots beat writers and when you talk about a terrible loss last night this really squared things away for me.

     

    i sent off a donation and perhaps I thought others might be inspired too.il If you can perhaps, send  $17 to honor the great season Josh brought us and how he gave it his all every week. 
     

    Remember, we are all one big family.  Regardless  of anything else, the NFL and the Bills are one of the few things that bring us all together across all socioeconomic and political lines. The outcome of any one game or season never matters, it’s those around us who we share it with  

     

     


    Just want to be clear, too, I by no means meant to belittle anyone’s feelings today and if they are hurting. It is real, I feel down myself and quite frankly we know folks do not discuss their feelings enough. 
     

    I just wanted to perhaps find a way to identify the root of those feelings, and it is to me at least understand why I feel the way I do after a game.

    If we got Rasul and a 5th for a 3rd. Makes sense he would have only retuned a 5th or 6th. 
     

     

    y’all got any more of those Rasul deals out there?

    Game Postponed! - To be played Monday at 4:30pm

    If you preferred the Bills play in a snowy windstorm, after watching that ridiculous Mac Jones 3 pass game, in a situation  where again the biggest mismatch is your offense compared to the opponent’s offense, with the entire season on the line, you are an idiot full stop.  An extra day of rest is nice, but it’s not a bye week and the opponent is the one who has to deal with travel while the Bills rest up in their homes.

    NFL Scheduler Really Hated the Bills this Year

    Cry me a river. Every home and away game is pre-determined based on rotation and ranking. The schedule makers don't decide a single thing. It is only the order.

     

    Having a late bye is a GOOD thing. Having extra rest late in the season is an advantage.

     

    The Bills going to London sucks, but they haven't had to do it for awhile. A bunch of teams have to do it. Sometimes the Bills are going to have to do it.

     

    There's nothing wrong with the schedule.

    So cringe worthy. Grown men who follow the NFL should know how the schedule rotation works. They literally think that the NFL just chooses the games on a whim, or something...


    Exactly this post.
     

    The NFL schedule, a nefarious process so devious, mysterious and hard to understand the Bills literally post it on their website at least a year in advance:

    Seriously, if someone proclaims to be a fan for years and hasn’t figured this out yet then it’s embarrassing.

    Allen's completion percentage - Him, or Dorsey or the weapons

    in The Stadium Wall

    Close your eyes and imagine you are watching any patriots / bills game from about 2006-2017. The patriots are in the most boring 21 personnel grouping. They are not looking overwhelmingly fast, yet they somehow keep scoring.
     

    The  bills are in fact getting some pressure on Brady. Kyle Williams is trying his damndest, but it’s “take a step, release, 7 yards”, “slide over, release 6 yards”.  Hand off and running back picks up 4 yards. And the cycle repeats.
     

    Up and down the field, you have no idea how it’s happening but they always seem to be in the red zone. Once about every 20 plays, the bills disrupt the timing just enough and Brady slides for a second and calmly throws the ball away before adjusting his face mask and screaming at an offensive lineman. Maybe he takes a sack every 30 plays, but then on the next play looks off a safety, hits one for 13 yards and a first down anyway. You curse the gods and wonder, when just when is it going to be our turn with QB and offense that efficient.  
     

    Now it’s back to present day. You have pretty much that exact same offense, which Daboll brought here from his time in NE, but this year you have the right personnel (2 legit TEs, smart RBs who aren’t anything fancy, but run straight ahead and can catch), plus  a QB who finally understands (so far this year after week 1) to be patient enough to run it correctly. 
     

    Finally, you also have a QB on pace to have a *higher* completion percentage compared to peak Brady, because instead of having to throw the ball away on those pressures he can either rocket it into an impossibly small window across the field or makes those windows a bit bigger each play due to the constant threat take off running for 45 yards.
