  1. I strongly dislike the name of that disorder. Those unfamiliar think it means the person "borderline" has a disorder but perhaps not a real disorder. That's not what it means.
  2. I was reacting to the idiot who posted the link to the Peter Pan costumes, not the retirement.
  3. Why is there not a shocked reaction option?
  4. I'm not holding my breath regarding any of these guys, but it will be a crime if Senorise Perry is taking up a roster spot next year.
  5. I fear the OL is at the "good enough" point and they will let it go, falling short of dominant. It seems so simple, but all you need is a dominant line and a good back and you can control football games. It should be top priority. I don't think Dawkins, Feliciano, or Ford (as a tackle) can be starting pieces on a dominant line.
  6. Did you read the article? I don't think that has anything to do with brain cells. That's just an education issue. People aren't born knowing where Buffalo is in relation to NYC...
  7. Hopefully this can help the Bills overcome the pressure of playing at home. I'm very encouraged by this.
  8. The lights are on; they've been on since this morning but you can pretty much turn them off on the uh Ravens right now
  9. Lots of good fortune for KC, the forgotten team this year. MIA beat NE to give KC the bye, and now TEN beats BAL to give KC the AFCCG at home!
  10. All of the ESPN pregame crew picked us to win. My brother and I shot nervous glances at each other.
  11. I concede that I am primarily making this post so I can, in the future, concisely remember exactly what went wrong for the Bills in this game. There are two schools of argument: the Bills lost because they didn't make enough plays, OR the Bills lost because of the officiating. Plays the Bills failed to make: The John Brown – with a chance to put a second touchdown on the board by setting up the Bills with a first-and-goal, Josh Allen delivers a great sideline throw to John Brown. It's a routine toe drag, not even especially difficult, but Brown unnecessarily hops and is not able to keep his feet in bounds. The Bills settle for a field goal, which ultimately proves costly. The Duke Williams – it would have been a spectacular contested catch, but just before halftime, Duke Williams gets both hands on a ball in the end zone but is not able to pull it down for a 17-0 lead. The Dropped Interception – Deshaun Watson throws a second-half ball directly into the hands of Siran Neal, and Neal drops it. This could have sealed the game for the Bills. The Go-for-the-Arm – on Watson's two-point conversion run, Jordan Poyer opts to go for the body of Watson rather than the arm holding the ball. Watson extends the free arm for the two points, which proved to be the difference in regulation. The Helmet-to-Helmet, Part 1: on a keeper in overtime, Josh Allen appears to have a clear path to a first down, putting the Bills in game-winning field goal range. Mitch Morse and Dawson Knox, however, block no one, allowing the free Texans defender to run right past them and knock the quarterback out of bounds. The Swing Pass – after the tough penalty against Cody Ford, the Bills have a chance to get back into field goal range on a swing pass to Duke Williams. Allen badly misfires, however, and that was the last time the Bills' offense would see the field. The Escape – Siran Neal appears on this list for a second time as he, along with Matt Milano, are unable to take down Deshaun Watson on what proved to be the game-winning play for the Texans. Plays the Bills failed to make because of bad coaching: The Frank Gore – 1st & 10, Texans' 23, 0:30 remaining in Q2, 1 timeout left. The Bills inexplicably run Frank Gore out of a timeout, forfeiting any reasonable chance of a touchdown and a commanding 17-0 lead. Instead, they go in with a 13-0 lead which leaves the Texans within striking distance. The 4th & 27 – from the Texans' 42, the Bills inexplicably go for it instead of punting with 3 timeouts remaining. Some argue that "it worked out anyway" because the Bills got the ball back and kicked a field goal to tie, but the Bills could have been in position for a game-winning touchdown if they had pinned the Texans back with a punt. The Delay of Game, Part 1 – on 3rd & 18 in overtime, the Bills' come out in an inexplicably deep coverage and are not able to converge on the ball carrier before he gains 19 yards. Bad calls or no-calls: The Kickoff – Bills appear to go up 19-0 as a touchdown is properly ruled on the field, but on-field "discussion" sparked by off-field officiating assistants causes a dubious reversal. After the game, the entire ESPN studio crew, Armando Salguero, and many others explain that the play should have stood as a touchdown, giving the Bills an insurmountable lead. The Helmet-to-Helmet, Part 2 – on a keeper in overtime, Josh Allen just passes the line of scrimmage when he takes a crown-of-the-helmet blow on the chin from a Texans defender. A 15-yard penalty should have been called, setting the Bills up 1st & 10 on the Texans' 27, where they undoubtedly would have won the game. The Blindside Block – in overtime, Josh Allen partially hurdles a man and puts the Bills in game-winning field goal range. The play is called back because of an "illegal blindside block" on Cody Ford. After the game, PFT, Mike Pereira, Shaun O'Hara, and many other prominent figures condemn the call. The Delay of Game, Part 2 – on 3rd & 18, the play clock expires on the Texans, but the play is allowed to go on, and the Texans convert for 19 yards. Strangely, the off-field officiating assistants—who are ostensibly there in the playoffs to ensure proper rulings—do not storm the field to correct any of these calls or non-calls, except to reverse the kickoff TD. ? Am I missing anything?
  12. Name the calls that benefited the Bills in that game. There were three terrible calls that benefited the Texans and cost the Bills dearly.
  13. McDermott seems to be conservative when he should be aggressive and then stupidly aggressive at times when he should be conservative. It's bizarre.
