It was wild how much they were blaming the windy conditions for the offensive ineptitude in Philadelphia last night. Meanwhile, it was crazy windy in WNY yesterday and yet Josh is airing the ball over the place and the wind is barely discussed. Exactly this. By the end of the game, Tampa Bay is no longer willing to crowd up close to the LOS and the running game started to find lanes again.

You're analysis on the play from Point #1 is not accurate. If anything, Allen locked in on Knox too early and/or for too long. As J.J. Watt mentioned during the game, the Tampa LB gets lost in coverage immediately, which Josh recognizes, but due to the nature of Knox's route and the cross-traffic, Allen has to wait several beats before pulling the trigger. Josh throws the ball with two defenders crossing in front of Knox but their momentum carries them out of the throwing lane. Unfortunately, the Tampa LB recovers and is able to cover a ton of ground to break up the pass.

Oh please. Analytics absolutely know how to quantify the value of a time out and coaches are well aware of that value.

Yup. Defender ripped it away after the TE (not Knox) was down by contact. The Bills challenged and the call was upheld. The announcers were mystified.

Indeed, PFF had Poyer rated higher than Taylor Rapp, Cole Bishop, and Damar Hamlin last season. I also threw in Justin Simmons and Kyle Dugger for comparison as those names have come up this preseason.

It's really not that different than the players that transition into coaching.

This is a weird way to cope, man. It's not just Bills fans on this one. Go to your favorite social media and check out what the media and pundits are saying. Seems to be nearly universal agreement in favor is the Bills, which is wild and both frustrating and calming.

This is crazy logic. The Chiefs played far from a flawless game and yet were on the receiving end of two wildly wrong and impactful officiating calls.

You're a moderator, you're supposed to be better than this.

I think you're misremembering the timing of the play. I suspect a lot of people are making the same mistake. The video link posted earlier shows that the entirety of the contact happens while the ball is in the air. You can tell when the throw starts in the video as Khalil Shakir whips his head around to watch Coleman. Coleman is at the 20 yard line at that point. The illegal contact from Tre White then happens while Coleman is running between the 19 and 13 yard lines. The hand fighting happens after Coleman has passed the 13 yard line. This was textbook illegal contact that upgraded to DPI.

What are we doing here, man? Your own video shows Tre initiated contact at the 20 yard line and is full on holding him from the ~19 down to the 13 yard lines. The line of scrimmage was the 27 yard line. There is a five yard zone where DBs can make contact with a receiver down field. This was textbook illegal contact that converted to defensive pass interference because he did it while the ball was in the air. This was not a bad call by the official.

He's not even the MVP on his own team. The 3rd quarter, where the Ravens offense looked unstoppable, was all Henry.

Heat lamps are a thing.

That color effect is only for heat transfer via radiation (like from the sun). It's not relevant when the sun is down. There is not nearly enough radiation coming from the stadium lights to have the jersey color make a difference.

The thing is, the people that feel that way are very wrong. The Bills had the most lopsided win of the Wild Card Round! By every metric!
