Roflmao his D stunk up here in NE!!! OMG the fools with all that talent and you give it to rocket scientist Patricia! OMG… I may pee myself laughing.
Agreed. I don't understand how Patricia got the job in Detroit in the first place. The Patriots defense was 2nd worse in yards per play and 4th worse in total yards given up in Patricia's last year as D.C. in New England. Their defense also gave up 41 points to the Eagles in the Super Bowl that year. Partly the stats are due to teams playing from behind but being 31st in an important defensive metric is not good no matter how you parse it.

Every questionable call went the Bills' way.

Obvious solution, offense fumbles out of bounds, 5 yard penalty from spot of fumble, plus loss of down.
The same rule applies everywhere except in the offense's own end zone where it counts as a safety similar to the way a holding call in the end zone would.
That would give you a consistent set of rules everywhere on the field. If you make it a 10-yard penalty, it would effectively be the same as illegal batting and the referee would not have to judge whether the offensive player intentionally knocked it out of bounds or not.

LMAO. No, not quite. IF they beat Dallas AND win the next two that they're "supposed to win", THEN they'll be favorites for the AFC East title. And of course that's only if Miami falters and the Bills are only one game back for that last game.

Like you said if they go out and beat Dallas then fall to the Chargers and my Pats (That would make me so mad!) it doesn’t matter that you won against KC and Dallas as you be on the outside looking in and I hate Phin fans almost as much as Jets fans.. so please Bills don’t do that!!
There's definitely a bunch of games that the Bills were "supposed to win" that they didn't.

They could pay 200 refs 200k per year and it wouldn't even be 1% of revenue.
Average NFL referee salary is already 205K per year.

He was never offside more Mahomes whining. The “Chefs” are feeling pressure going 1 and 3.
I have zero idea why this offside call is even an issue. Toney is clearly lined up offside. Von Miller looks like he is most likely not. This penalty is called all the time as it should.
The Chief's 8-4 record was a mirage almost as much as the Steeler's 6-3 record.
Kelce has lost a step and a half and their WR group went from mediocre last year to just plain bad this year. If it wasn't for reputation, Mahomes would probably be barely be a top 10 QB in most of the media's ratings this year.

Probably has less of a chance of a successful return though because you have fast guys on the field. If a 62 yard kick falls short you have a lot of big guys trying to prevent a return.
I don't think it is a question of having fast guys on the field, it's that most of the time the guy intercepting the hail Mary gets tackled right away.
Otherwise most of the fast guys on offense are on the wrong side of the ball. If the defender doesn't get tackled right away, there's almost no one to stop him on a hail Mary as we saw in the Bills Jets and Jets Dolphins games.

If one is going for the least disruption and maximum fairness, just go to 16 international games and an extra bye week, six games in England, three in Germany, three in Mexico and 4 others in random places around the world. Everyone has an international game so it would just count as a neutral site game and you would have the extra bye week before that game.
Of course, the league has shown that they care nothing for fairness. Its amazing that they haven't extracted that extra dollar out and have a Monday night game on week 18.

Anyone expecting a 35 year old coming back from an ACL to look good right away is delusional. The hope was that he would be a positive contributor by the end of the season. Forgetting about the off field stuff, people ragging on him for not playing well are just being unreasonable.

That was before Hackett demonstrated that he is historically horrible at calling plays or managing offenses.

Is this a good/bad/no sign of Rodgers sticking around next year? As his boy just got cut. It also could mean Nate Hackett is on thinner ice. Thoughts?
I really don't understand the belief that Rodgers is super loyal to people like Nate Hackett and Tim Boyle. Boyle played two years with Rodgers, he was third string one year and second string the next. Rodgers probably barely knew Boyle existed.
Same with Hackett. He was OC for two years with Rodgers and didn't even call plays, Matt Lefleur did. This year Hackett's offense has scored 10 TDs all season, the same as the Dolphins scored in one game. Hackett's offenses have been historically bad for two years in a row.
Why would Rodgers refuse to play without Hackett and Boyle?
-
The league won't do anything unless the woman changes her story. Look at Frank Gore. He was accused of dragging a woman naked across a hotel hallway, pled guilty to a reduced charges of violating the public health code and then the 49ers hired him for the front office.

Anyone else notice that the magic seemed to be gone once Von Miller got here? Last year seemed off and this year is weird. I miss 2019-2021 when we were explosive on offense and were a turnover machine on defense
That's a bit unfair. The Bills looked great for the first five or six games last season.

I usually don't think that it is but given some of the umpires calls & them being so inconsistent from game to game and the money they have coming in from the gambling thing it wouldn't surprise me .
Where ever you have a lot of money if men or women are involved greed can have certain influences in some decision making . I hope & pray that's not the case but one never knows .
Individual referees being on the take is certainly a possibility but the idea that the league decides beforehand who will win games, not so much.

Yeah....it's scripted.
Nothing the NFL Loves more than having the Chiefs be a contender year in and year out while BOTH NEW YORK TEAMS SUCK, the Washington team sucks, the LA teams suck, the Chicago teams sucks....and Cincy has been good...the Bills (despite the lack of a SB) are a top team....what a script! Let's make are smallest, LEAST populous and diffiuclt to market teams, the best ones out there. And let's make sure the three biggest markets are horrible.
Officiating sucks for everyone.
Not to mention Jerry Jones being perfectly happy not being in a Super Bowl for 30 years.
Also when do they tell new owners that all the outcomes are predetermined? Is David Tepper OK with this? Why don't any of the new owners sue the NFL when they find out about this?

I really don't know why more people don't consider Joe Brady a HC candidate. I know he is young but he has already had at least 3 HC interviews in the past. Isn't this what people want, a young potentially upcoming offensive HC?
Mainly because he was an awful offensive coordinator in Carolina. That's why he was QB coach with the Bills instead of an OC somewhere else.
-
Don't want to pile on but I never understood the Bassomatic stuff. His statistics are average throughout his career though I guess he should get a boost for kicking in Buffalo's weather. Even when he was special team player of the month, his "clutch" kick against the jets boinked in off the upright. That's hardly clutch if you have to rely on getting a lucky bounce. To me he always had a lot of kicks that just barely made it thru the goalpost.

He already gave away a bunch of money to JEST to have control over offense. I think Rogers decides if Hackett and even Wilson stays unless head coach is canned.
Yes, he supposedly gave up some money to get his Packer buds in but 5 out of the 6 of his players they brought in will be gone by the beginning of next season and they would get rid of All Lazzard if it wasn't for the cap hit.
I don't see how they can keep an OC who has been historically bad for two seasons.
Just my opinion of course.

There's no guarantee that changes anything. Look at the Steelers. They changed OC's and they are still the same.
You probably didn't watch the game. Not many points but over 400 yards of offense. They looked nothing like they did under Canada.

He should feel guilty about bringing Nate Hackett to
Sean Payton was definitely right about Hackett. Broncos were last in 3rd down conversions last year at 29% and are at 38% this year and 38% in 2021. This year the Jets are at 24%, 5% below anybody else. Even last year the Jets were at 34%. He didn't even call plays in Green Bay. There's a lot of data that says Hackett is terrible at play calling. They have to fire him. Aaron Rodgers isn't going to walk away from all that money.

Saleh/Douglas/Woody had no choice. Maybe if it was an away game they would have played Wilson another week but the game is in Jersey. Zach wouldn't have been able to make it out of the tunnel without a police escort if the fans thought he was starting.

I will guess that they end up 9-8 or 10-7.

they aren't afraid to throw the ball down field. Top offense in doing that. Motor was way under rated in Buffalo. Cook and Hines were brought in to add that dynamic pass catching RB that the dunce of an OC doesn't know how to scheme to.
To be fair to Dorsey, the Bills also refused to throw to running backs under Daboll.
Pretty much from his first season here, Beane has been bringing in pass catching running backs only to have them inactive or restricted to special teams on game day
Improvement needed by Bills - Special teams

Your analysis is great except for the part about the ST unit not being football "tragic". When the special teams has directly lost two games (and indirectly lost more than two games due to high percentage makeable miss field goals and the lack of confidence in the kicker adversely affecting in game decisions) and your fighting for a playoff spot than that is definitely "tragic" in a football sense.
