I think they may have actually done that this year. I'm not 100% sure but it may now be a rule that if you dive headfirst in the field of play you're still afforded protection but are marked down at the place you began the slide/dive. I doubt if it would apply at the goaline though.

Anybody who calls this a fake slide has never carried a football or is looking to create controversy and attention. The only actual fake slide I've ever seen was Kenny Pickett a couple times in college; I've never once seen it in the NFL. As for the Mahomes and the OB stuff, if you give up on a play where a guy with the ball is still in bounds, that's on you, not him. You can still land on him; you just can't drive him into the turf anymore.

This likely explains Allen's "hand injury". I couldn't figure out on that play where in the heck he hurt his hand and the funny bone comment was clear nonsense from Josh. But the Warner shot that snapped his head probably just resulted in a burner. They're annoying for a while but there are no long term issues. 👍

It's probably even worse than being a moderator for a bunch of drunk Polacks.....

It's entirely up to the player if they want to make the move to another teams roster. Nobody is swiping Micah without his permission.

I don't remember who they were playing but there was a game in the latter part of last season where Rapp suddenly started playing with his head up and eyes open; it was a huge instantaneous improvement that felt like it came out of nowhere but kind of showed what he could become. It made me feel like Hyde had been coaching him to keep his head up all year and for some reason it finally became a habit for him and he's been very good ever since.

Nyet Spasbo!

I'd be in Saskatchewan by now for not helping with Gameday threads...

I'm just being a wise-ass. That one is probably not going to land, is it?

They've probably been trying to trade him for 3 days and nobody wants anything to do with him.

That's there's a 10 page thread two posts below this

Bills coaches lead their team through a final walkthrough just days before their big showdown with the LA Rams: <AP>

It just means that they practice at the indoor facility next to the pool so nobody is allowed to run.

The Bills have undoubtedly been poring over security cam footage for 3 days now. If there was anything problematic, I have to believe that they would have worked with the law to ID and charge this guy, even if with just a Disorderly. If there was nothing to see they are not going to come out and call this family liars; they will just work behind the scenes to keep the blowback to a minimum. For right now, I still have to guess this is a giant nothingburger that everybody involved wants to go away, but the media is like a puppy on a pork chop.

Not likely

Hyde is loved and respected enough in that room that I don't think there will be any boat-rocking.

And all the leaves grew back!

Maybe, but that's probably dependent on what the Chiefs do between now and then. If the Bills are playing for the #1 seed at that point, they might accidentally kill somebody. I agree that this team feels different. It's just hard to shake the BBFS

C'mon now, let's not pretend the tequila had nothing to do with it

Was he actually healthy?

That is equally possible. I've just been eyeballing this potential letdown since it became clear the SF game was for the division.

I agree with this. IF the Bills bring their A-game. Coming off a big Sunday night primetime win that clinched the division and has everybody feeling pretty good about themselves? There's some potential for them to show up in sunny southern California and realize too late that they left their edge back in Buffalo.

Stop saying what I say 10 seconds before I say it you sonofabitch

Oh I have no doubt he'll have to earn it. But I think he'll be given every opportunity to do so. When this defense is fully healthy, Hamlin is the one glaring weak spot remaining (although he has been better this year, imo). Upgrading that spot to a better athlete and veteran like Hyde is a real upgrade to the whole unit. I beleive Micah came here to play and I believe he will get that opportunity if he's ready.
