    I am convinced that the people who hate this pick, don't really watch college football.  They watch highlights and read commentaries from non-NFL people to get their information.  

    All they know is a 40 time and think everything revolves around that. This is a good pick. The Bills got the guy they wanted and also gained some compensation through trades.

    First KC comments I read were along the lines of "Worthy would have been there at 32 - would rather have taken Mitchell."

     

    Might be a chess move by Beane.  Won't know for some time.

     

    Worthy would definite been there at 32. So the Bills got extra compensation and didn’t give the Chiefs anything they wouldn’t have gotten anyway. I don’t understand those who are against this, unless you thought the Bills should have drafted Worthy, which would have been a big mistake.

    Could they draft Diggs replacement yeah sure. They will be better than right now but I don't see where they improve significantly. They have no cap room to go out and get a Higgins or high end guy. 

    They don’t have to improve “significantly”. They were one dropped Diggs pass, or a missed FG from possibly winning the SB. They will be a favorite again next year.

    What even IS a "fake slide"? A running QB isn't allowed to hesitate or move laterally, they just need to run straight forward at full speed or be flagged?

    The only way you could have a “fake slide” is where the QB goes down on a knee just above the field and then gets up and continues to run. Problem is at that point the play would be called dead.

    Why is it dumb? It makes sense to me.

    Because it allows the D to get a “free” timeout by causing a penalty.

    But we didn’t decline it. We accepted the penalty and the extra 5 yards was added to the end of the run as someone else explained above.

    Yes, and the reason it was accepted is because the clock stops regardless. The rule allows the D to get what is essentially a timeout by causing a penalty.

    Exactly, we are really splitting hairs here. You can listen to his presser. I'm sure he's pissed at the Bills. But I'm also pretty sure he knows they had no choice and he's pissed at what kind of society allows that to happen. I can't imagine dealing with something like this as an adult, let alone a kid, especially at the stakes he was playing.  

    Agreed. He’s more pissed at social media and those who prejudge without any evidence. We’ve seen many of these false accusations and he’s clearly not happy that someone can just make up sh** and ruin someone’s livelihood.

    Look, we'd all be pissed too. Problem is the refs didn't know it was going to be an insane, perfectly executed TD when Toney was Offside.

     

    And it's not like it was an iffy call either. He was clearly past the ball. It's just a lame penalty to kill what would've been a hell of a play. 

     

    With that said, I'd still be pretty upset if I were McDermott. Sure you're relieved they shot themselves in the foot, but you nearly blew yet ANOTHER close game where you had a lead in the final 2 minutes. 

     

    Nothing you did saved the game. Toney saved the game. Hopefully next week you'll be better prepared. 🙏  

    Totally disagree. The Bills then stopped Mahomes 3 straight plays. The Bills won the game. Why do people come on here and pi** and moan after a win, on the road against a good team? I don’t get it.

    Another surprise?  

     

    The Bills D is now 4th in scoring in the NFL and is allowing fewer points per game and yards per game than the D last year that was ranked 1st or 2nd.

     

    Even with all the defensive injuries, this team is still extremely good on D...seems kinda crazy a top 5 scoring D and top 7 scoring O is only 6-5.

     

     

    That’s what leading the league in TO’s will do.

    Yes there were.  In fact there was a lot more then a lot of fans want to acknowledge.  Here's a couple:

     

    In 1991, the Bills best offense of the Super Bowl years lost at NE 16 - 13. The Bills were 10 - 1 and the Pats 3 - 8 when that game was played. Kelly threw 4 INT's.

     

    In 1992, the 5 - 2 Bills hosted the 0 - 7 Pats at Rich Stadium. At halftime the Bills were trailing 7 - 0 and Kelly had thrown 2 INT's.  The fans booed the Bills off the field.  I know this because I was at the game.  The Bills came back and won it 16 - 7.

     

    In 1988, the 11 -2 Bills lost to the 3 - 10 TB Bucs at Tampa 10 - 5.  The Bills trailed 10 - 2 late in the 4th quarter.

     

    A there are a lot more.

     

    For those that appreciate the history of the Bills I highly recommend Sal Maiorana's Relentless. This book as every box score from 1960 through the 1993 season.

     

     

     

    It’s called recency bias. People only seem to remember what’s happened in the last game played.
