Don't forget: can leap over tall defenders in a single bound!

I do believe that financial gain influences almost every decision the NFL makes. I don't believe that this includes who wins/loses a particular game/games. The reason I don't believe that happens is that financial gain also influences almost every decision an NFL player makes, too. None of them would stand to allow NFL decisions to affect performance bonuses they may lose based on fewer yards rushing/passing, fewer wins, fewer playoff bonuses, fewer Pro Bowl bonuses, etc. Not to mention playing for pride, for a feeling of accomplishment, for glory, for endorsements, etc. I find it hard to believe that this type of collusion would remain secret for long. Too many paychecks involved.

My personal ultimatum? If the Bills move out of Buffalo, I am done. (And I pray everyday that they move so that I can avoid the gut wrenching Mondays, or Tuesdays, or Fridays, and I can regain my Sundays to do as I please.) As long as the Bills remain in Buffalo, I am doomed to watch and root for them.

Gutsy call. Too bad they puked... 😁

As long as he is helping the team, and as long as Brady still likes him, of course Arians will give him "one more final chance." Money talks, and wins mean money.

...or wins the MVP (of the Super Bowl!)

I can't help but blame Josh Allen. If he would just instruct our running backs in how to leap over defenders, we wouldn't even need an O-line. Stupid Josh being lazy!

Prior to yesterday's game, weren't we the highest scoring team in the league? That seems to suggest we were doing something right, in my opinion. I also think defenses have looked at the tape and have adjusted to what the Bills did well last year, so they've had to change it up a bit.

Tre White leads the NFL in goalie academies.

I would trade Vernon Butler for Tom Brady, if the only criteria for a trade is what will help us win a Super Bowl. It would take Tampa Bay out of the competition I would LOVE to see Brady sitting on the bench the whole game high-fiving no one Derrick Henry for the same reason, minus the bench sitting part obviously.... 😆

Are they trying to showcase him for a trade?

In my experience, these type of public commentary deals come up with three alternatives: Do nothing. (Play in the same stadium) A terrible alternative that no one wants. (Something like a floating stadium on Lake Erie) The alternative they wanted all along (A stadium in Orchard Park) This way, they can say the public had the chance to have input on how their money is being spent, while knowing that they will get what the wanted from the beginning. Sometimes, they may make minor changes based on public input, if they really like them (meaning they will make the plan cheaper or will result in more money being made.)

Then, he also stated something like that he himself could hold (legally) the shoulder pads all day and be able block everyone. I was absolutely astounded by that! Maybe I just misunderstood him?

GEHA = Government Employees Health Association I'm a member! (And I have been really happy with this plan for 30+ years...) They are based in Kansas City.

Does this include yards rushed by Josh Allen? If so, I don't think QB scrambles lead to as much punishment of the defenders as designed rushes by RB's. The blocking is different, plus Josh (hopefully) doesn't cause as much punishing contact as a running back would.

I'm willing to bet that even Herbert would laugh at the comment from Shefter. He doesn't seem like the type of person to get that full of himself, especially at this stage of his career.

Well, if MLB.com is to be believed, we are both wrong! Gehrig played 2130 in a row after replacing Pippen. It was Ripkin who played 2632 in a row, a half century later. 🤦‍♂️

If Brown plays another 2631 games in a row.....could be! 😉

Unless both teams play on Monday night, and then the following Sunday, the team having only 6 days off will be at a disadvantage. If both teams play on Sunday, then the following Saturday, both teams only have 6 days in between, hence no team has the advantage.

I would hope that the Bills staff would scout the opposition to see if the CB following an in-motion receiver follows him to the opposite side, or if he stops at the end of the line on his side and passes off the receiver to someone from that other side. Does anyone know if the Steelers have a penchant for passing off a receiver in motion? Or did the CB sniff out the play on his own?

Maybe Beane and McDermott figure that the offense is so good, they can make up for a drop here and there from Knox. Knox can atone for them with a big play?

More to the point, is he vaccinated?? We could use a bump in our percentage....

Well, I don't know about "vastly"..... 🙂

I think there is a difference when no one gets to play a preseason game, versus when the defensive units get to play some games while the quarterback plays zero snaps. Maybe not, but it seems like an advantage for those who get some live practice.

The Jets have some 'spleening to do!
