    Bills will probably be #3 or #2 seed if they win out

    After that Denver loss, it seemed all but certain that the Bills would miss the playoffs.  Now here we are with not only an opportunity for the #2 seed but one that is very possible.  What a turn of events.  Go Bills!

    Before we fired our OC, I was in the tank for draft picks crowd. Now that we have an offense that looks like it wasn’t designed with crayons, I take back my previous stance. 
     

    Go Bills!

    Oh you can make the playoffs, but that doesn't make you worthy of being a playoff team. Every year there's 1 or 2 teams that barely make it and then get blown out by the real teams. Joe Flacco and Gardner Minshew (it autocorrected his name to Grander he's so unpopular) have a better chance of making the playoffs than Josh Allen. They wouldn't fold to the Chargers backups 

    Have you seen some of the teams they lost to, or almost lost to? I’m not good at spotting trolls, but I think I am getting the hang of it.

    Seriously, Dick.  I was thinking about this today.  We're ready to come here for eleven months with all of our brilliant critiques and suggestions, but in December, when it gets down to crunch time, when nothing else matters by the W, when every game is a big game, all the armchair quarterbacks (and coaches and GMs) go silent.  

    Because now it’s the time for watching, and not talking. Just kidding, it’s always time for talking

    James Cook named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

    Cook absolutely deserved it, BUT...

    It would be cool if offensive linemen won these awards sometimes. If you go back and watch Cook's biggest runs on Sunday, he often had gaping holes to run through.

    Congrats to Jimbo Cook, by all means, but Dion Dawkins is the real offensive player of the week for my money.

    While he did have some great blocking, he did do a lot of amazing sidesteps, and bouncing outside when the planned hole wasn't there. He also made guys whiff in a phone booth, and he broke arm tackles... all with ridiculous acceleration going north and south. I think with your money, you may need to buy the film and watch his best runs again. It wasn't just good blocking. Dawkins did have a great game though

    Allen Flopping

    Threads like these really expose the homers on the board.

     

    His flopping is an embarrassing tactic that, no, not every QB utilises. In fact, he's in the minority of guys who do it. We all love the guy, but that doesn't mean he can do no wrong.

     

    My fear is a "boy who cried wolf" scenario in the playoffs where a legit late hit goes uncalled. You can only embarrass the refs for so long before they start looking the other way.

    The first couple years of his career, refs let defenders tee-off on him. So I think he is allowed to embellish a bit, to get the calls that he didn't from years past.

    Nice whooping you guys gave us. It was a very physical game. Not very many teams can pull away from us in the  3rd period. Hopefully Sabres go on a run, and we can meet in the Finals for a fun series

    NFL will look at the fumble-out-of-end-zone rule

    I'll tell you a rule that should change:...............The being able to call fair catch on a kick off and automatically get the ball at the 25 yard line.  I hate that rule.  If you call a fair catch on a punt at the 5 yard line you get the ball at the 5 yard line, not on a kick off it goes to the 25 yard line.  It takes away the strategy of trying to force the other team to return the ball.  It irritates the crap out of me.

    Agreed, but the NFL doesn't want teams to return the kickoff

    It's very simple...they would simply combine 2 rules that are already in place and extend it to include anytime a ball is fumbled into and thru an endzone.  I would argue this should ONLY be in play for balls that are fumbled out of bounds sideways, not THRU the back of the endzone because in that case the offensive team likely had a mad scramble to attempt to recover the ball and had at least a full 10 yards to get it back, so that should then be the defenses ball.  Completely different for a player reaching towards the goalline and fumbling it barely through the side line of the endzone.

     

    1)  Apply the rule that the ball is dead where it was fumbled at if not recovered by the same player within the last 2 minutes of a half.

    2) Apply the rule that if a fumble goes out of bounds it reverts to the team who last possessed it legally.

     

    These two rules now make it so the ball is dead where the fumble initiated and the team who last legally possessed it maintains control.  

     

    Simple, easy and generally follows the rules that are already in place, not some of the crazy rules people are coming up with.

    This is what I was thinking. It makes way more sense than all the other wacky options people have suggested... and better than the current rule.
