If there was ever a time for a "boo-ing" emoticon, this would be it.

They scored 17 points
??♂️??♂️??♂️
They would have had 20 if they kicked a FG at the end of the game but obviously didn't because of the situation.
But did you watch the game? All our defense had to do when NE had the ball in the mid 4th was not give up a TD. Allowing a FG on that possession was fine, we could still win with a FG of our own. All we needed to do was not let them score a TD... But not only did they score a TD but the 2pt conversion as well.
That NE offense has looked terrible recently too, especially brady. And yet he had little problem finding open men and had zero pressure that final drive.

I stopped playing about 15 minutes in.
The randomness of the low accuracy is a joke.
Then stop using Tom Brady.

So... If I did vote for Phillips, does this mean Ed is my friend?

You know when you are a kid and new things you say or do are cool, and then when your parents start saying or doing those things it becomes lame? It's the same thing when the media latches onto something.

Yes?
No?
I expect it will be 10 by season’s end. Will he ever do it again?
I say no but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t re-sign him. We should depending on the money. He loves Buffalo. He’s going to demand more than he is worth. But we should sign him and likely release Star.
Star and Phillips play two completely different roles on the LOS. It's like comparing an edge rush OLB sack numbers to a MLB.
Star is a lineman eating DT that allows other players like Phillips, Edmunds, Milano to perform their playmaking roles. Star will not show up on the stat sheet, but if the unit is playing well and guys like Edmunds are moving freely in space and Phillips is undressing single blockers and can't be double teamed -- then Star is doing his job.

They should have drafted a WR this past year... They need to do it this year, maybe not round 1 but in the 1st 3.
Picking in the 20s Is be okay drafting a RT or Guard. Good line play with a good QB is always a recipe for extended success.

For streaming video? Good luck
AirPlay is absolutely WiFi as is chromcast, as are most smart tv mirriorung native apps.
News to me Bluetooth has the continuous bandwidth to support streaming video well. You might want to patent that.
Most of the attempts out out there are clunky and low resolution jittery buffering trash. But it sounds like you’re on to something!
Maybe it was through wifi signal then when i did it in a pinch, but i can tell you with certainty I've mirrored to a tv on cell data and it wasn't that bad, not HD but not horrible. Or you watch it on your phone HD... Regardless it's certainly an option for someone where the alternative is no game or radio.
Personally I'd just go to a sports bar/restaurant bar.

He doesnt have a fumbling problem... Steelers are just that good at forcing turnovers... its probably their biggest strength as a football team
Fumbled twice vs Miami too.
Highest fumble rate in the NFL with 100+ carries.
Right now it's a problem. But he could easily call Vanilla Ice and solve it.

You could but it would be a terrible image because of the resolution change.
100000%
The NFL knows how to maximize its revenue with all these deals.
It will be a terrible viewing experience.
How would it be terrible? With 4G LTE i stream HD with zero issues. And i just have Metro that rides on TMobile cheap cheap.
Obviously it's not the same as TV quality from satellite or fios but he's already short on options.

The book is out of him now the league has some tape. He's slippery - shakes and jukes at elite level, but he's still not that fast, doesn't have a 5th gear. Teams are aware with his running style to continue pursuit from behind and go for the ball.
Absolutely expect Belichick and the Patriots to try to exploit this as well.

I think you have to use cellular data and thus it doesn’t mirror to tv
Screen mirror and using cell data have nothing to do with one another. You connect to the TV with Bluetooth.

Shouldn't the ONLY NY team have their song by a NY guy?

Yahoo will be streaming it as they do all national televised games. But i think only on mobile devices -- you could always screen mirror to your TV.
Or go to any sports bar.

Yes. Romam's offense had a lifespan of about 1.5 years in both SF and here in Buffalo. Lamar is in the honeymoon stage of his offense.
The question is of Roman can adapt and grow the offense unlike before. Jackson is more talented than Krapernick and Taylor and I don't think it's close.
But the half read offense has a shelf life... Can he open it up long term?
But as for now history says yes, this offense will be solved.

In your opinion, who are or were the best play by play NFL announcers? The reason why I bring this topic up is because I think Al Michaels is the best and I can't wait to hear him call the Bills vs. Steelers Sunday night football game, it's been so long.
Here's my list:
1. Al Michaels
2. Jim Nantz
3. Gus Johnson
4. Kevin Harlin
5. Mike Trico
6. Joe Buck
7. Marv Albert
8. Dan Hicks
9. Greg Gumbel
10. Chris MyersJoe Buck? Joe Buck?
He is the WORST. Like Jean-Ralphio Saperstein wooooooorst announcer in the world.

You can’t argue that the uniform aids the camouflaging of the ball and skin tone of the arm holding the ball doesn’t help as well. They’re both background objects on the ball, both creating contrast or blend. Maybe every black player does have a minuscule advantage over white players. I didn’t play enough football to answer that question- it’d Be interesting to hear actual football players comment on that.
That being said, he didn’t say that was why Lamar is so dangerous. He mentioned it as a part of a list of several things that inhibited the overall ability to see the ball. The rain and gloominess of the day were certainly one of the main factors (and Lamar’s insane skills with ball handling) but in the context of the background of a player affecting the visibility of the ball, then yes- it seems obvious that less contrast = less visibility. Again, who knows if that makes a practical difference.
Exactly, Lamar still needs to be insanely talented and great at what he does for it to work, but disguising the optics of a ball is an added benefit -- just like how it's illegal for baseball pitchers to wear white sleeves and the batters eye needs to be a dark color at parks and places like Fenway are forced to put a dark tarp over the CF seats for day games.
Lamar is a great kid and super talented and i don't think anyone has questioned that. An innocent comment that is not derogatory in nature or intended to be and is purely just honest commentary on optics shouldn't be controversy.
I hope the game Sunday doesn't get dragged down by any nonsense.

Simmer down because you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
Here's exactly what his employer has publicly said about him regarding all of this:
“We are disappointed in Tim Ryan’s comments earlier this week, and have suspended him for the upcoming game. We hold Tim to a high standard as a representative of our organization and he must be more thoughtful with his words. Tim has expressed remorse in a public statement and has also done so with us privately. We know Tim as a man of high integrity and are confident he will grow and learn from this experience. We have reached out to the Baltimore Ravens organization to extend our apologies and assure them the matter is not being taken lightly.” (Link)
They gave him a 1-day vacation, and he'll be back at work Monday, and everyone will move on. He has lost nothing.
edit: @Binghamton Beast, you see what I mean now with "This is America. People want to sue for anything."?
Usually summer down is said to someone upset or angry, not calmly expressing their point of view.
Your quoted statement does nothing other than support my previous statement.
His character had been attacked publicly. His public reputation had been damaged.His future earnings rely on that reputation. His suspension damages his current earnings. It's pretty cut and dry how he is harmed from this both current abd future earnings, nevermind his personal reputation. It's not suing "for anything" he's losing a paycheck. His future employment is affected. These are tangible loses, not hurt feelings.

Love Sammy but entirely unreliable. Sad because he's so good.

Simmer down, fella. I think you’re projecting - a lot. If you want to go further down this road, the PPP forum is entirely at your service.
Lol what? Simmer down? I calmly explained to you why that case would be appropriate to sue.
Projecting what? That he has an appropriate case to sue for being publicly labeled a racist by his employer?
I'm a bit lost on this with what you're saying. It feels like you are cobbling up some trendy phrases just because we disagree.

Obviously I don’t have all the answers, but I think it’s because it’s felt that race is still being used to define the abilities of some players. Lamar Jackson had pundits like Bill Polian opining that he should convert to WR or RB, and it’s not too long ago that it was pretty openly expressed that black guys like Doug Williams or Warren Moon couldn’t play QB.
Against that relatively recent background, anything that appears to attribute to skin color, that which is undeniably skill in faking a ball handoff, is gonna go over like a wet fart in a crowded subway.
Oh, great, so we can add on the other keystone of our modern times, the opinion that anyone should sue for everything. He was suspended for a day. His best course of action is to say “I realize I could have made my point about color contrast in a much better way, I’m sorry for any offense”, go back to work, and move on. It’s not worth sueing about
Not worth suing about? In this society? His reputation is going to be absolutely destroyed. He'll never make it to a high profile job. His career is toast. They basically labeled him and punished him as a racist. There's a tangible loss of earnings both current and future. Yes, you sure for that
-
So the league that has rules about needing to interview a black candidate anytime you hire a coach with networks that continually promote statistics and successes of black quarterbacks are telling announcers not to comment on skin color of a player when it affects the effectiveness of a fake?
So if he wore black or brown sleeves to hide a ball that's okay to comment, but not the mention of his actual skin in combination with uniform in a way that's not negative or derogatory whatsoever.
This guy should sue the crap out of everyone. What he said was not the least bit derogatory.

It's a thread about Baltimore and just a bunch of Patriot comments. How fragile are you guys? Come on...
With a team that's won 11 straight, this better get every bit of attention of the NFL and investigated.
