It may seem like an arbitrary and unnecessary rule to some, but it's not the first time the league has decided to make a rule about something that a loot of fans, players and coaches don't mind. In the final analysis, it is a rule because the people making the rules think it should be. They have that right, and the only way that will change is if having it as a penalty somehow costs the league.

I'm very happy with the game results. I'm thrilled with the defense. I'm pretty happy with the offense. Why pretty happy with the offense? I believe at this point Josh Allen's struggles are far from incurable. Though Allen had a fairly poor completion percentage, he took care of the football. At the same time, the running game is looking more effective than it did in 2020. I think that between the running game and the defense, it will take some of the pressure off of Allen as he tries to straighten his game out. Having a mediocre opponent next Sunday won't hurt.

I think he's somewhat underutilized, but he's done everything asked of him. No drops through two games.

The nice thing is, it was a clean hit. Epenesa made a lot of nice plays, like that one, that never even made it to the stat sheet

I think somebody should put Millen and Rex Ryan in a broadcast booth together. That would be a riot. LOL

If the toe is in bounds and the heel never touches the ground, it's still a reception.

To rub salt in any NY Jets wounds, Sam Darnold was 26 of 38 for 305 yards, 2 TDs and 1 interception.

Tagovailoa is a rhythm passer who tends to throw more short stuff. I think man coverage is generally going to be more effective versus that kind of QB. Whether or not Wallace can be effective depends on the receiver. He's slow, and not particularly strong, so he'll be vulnerable to burners, and also big, physical receivers. Unfortunately, Miami has both size and speed. Parker is big, and pretty fast to boot. Fuller and Waddle are both burners. Whatever Buffalo does, Wallace is going to need help.

I take a day off from looking at Bills news and message boards after a loss. I just don't want to deal with it, and I don't have to.

What kind of record does Matt Haack have on trick plays? As has been mentioned Brian Moorman was very athletic and capable of executing a variety of trick plays. Punters often have some real athletic ability. They are, of course, typically used as holders on kickoff because they receive long snaps as part of their trade. Certainly with the proliferation of the shotgun formation, QBs receive the ball on shotgun snaps all the time. It would be reasonable to put them in the role of holder. Holders might be at slight risk of injury, but they don't get hurt often. Receivers could probably make good holders too. After all, they have to catch all kinds of balls, sometimes in very difficult situations. Some of Buffalo's receivers have experience with trick plays, including throwing the ball. Personally, I figure having the punter is holder is normally a sound practice. I don't have any problem with it.

I don't associate football with eating whatsoever. I eat what I eat regardless of whether or not there is a game.

Saw some in Wegmans. Pass.

Steve Tasker had an interesting take on Butler's comments. Essentially, he thought Butler is terrified of the prospect of Josh Allen running when a play breaks down because he is a wild card you can't account for. His comments represent an effort to try and use pre game comments to lessen the risk of Josh Allen making big plays with his legs.

Josh Allen jerseys lead the league in sales right now.

Less Instigators is better.

Really, are there some fans who are actually upset at Josh for fooling around? He's known how to have fun since he first joined the Bills. He's also one of the hardest workers and is known to be driven by his desire to win. My impression of the Bills is very different from my perception of the New England Patriots. Belichick demands work ethic and discipline from his players, but I've never had the sense that players really know how to have fun or that they really care for each other. McDermott expects discipline and work ethic, but the Bills have also created an environment where players really seem to care about each other, enjoy being together and have fun. It's all good. For years New England was able to lure quality free agents at a discount because they wanted a chance to get a Super Bowl ring. What if Buffalo could offer that, AND an environment where players can be real people caring for other real people and enjoying it. It should only get easier to sell free agents on coming to Buffalo.

I think Basham will get more limited reps than others at DE because he seems not to be as far along. The rest of them will be in a heavy rotation methinks.

I saw the news and googled "Getzenberg" to learn this. I was going to post it, but as usual got beaten. It was poetic justice. We should have known it was coming.

If you google "bad radio" you'll get pictures of the former players who serve as hosts on the Instigators.

Jim Kelly was more likeable, at least late in his career, but Brady's collection of Super Bowl rings says he is better.

Tyrod has crafted a nice career out of mediocrity given that the number of good to great QBs is limited.

I hope he purchased a nice long term service contract for it. I've known a few Jeep owners and every one found their vehicles to to be an unreliable mechanical nightmare.

I think I remember some news about some off field stuff with Bennett. If he did it, I hope she gets a judgment.

It's not hard to argue that either the Buccaneers or the Chiefs will be the Super Bowl winner. The reasoning for labeling Buffalo as a fringe Super Bowl team ("They can't beat Pat Mahomes") is infantile at best. Buffalo has been developing and improving since Sean McDermott arrived in Buffalo. They weren't good enough last January and went out and made their defense better. The differences on the defensive line are significant. There may be some incremental improvements elsewhere on the team. It's much harder for a team that is on top to keep making improvements. Mostly, they are just trying to hold on to what they have.

I'll settle for having an elite QB. I don't need him to walk on water, and I doubt he can heal the blind referee.
