  1. Actually they just used this fast replay system in the Washington Philly game to overturn an Int in about 20 seconds Wonder if they will further expand this fast system next season much further? Maybe that is the answer if it's not so obvious that it can be overturned in less than a half minute,but instead takes 3 to 4 minutes to review and decide on a call, then just let it stand as called on field.
  2. OK but did he state single digit percentage or number of players? I thought he said number of players?
  3. Very likely could have happened that way, will never know or came from on the outside. But if vaxxed, rules are more liberal. So do agree I think next year other than true superstars i.e. Aaron Rodgers, I think un-vaxxed players will have trouble finding a job in the NFL. Why would a team want the extra burden of higher likelihood of missing time?
  4. Unless they've changed these rules too, believe any players signed that didn't just get cut i.e. came directly from another team environment, is required to quarantine for 10 days before joining the team. The way things are going they may have scaled that back too, but if not the earliest Brown could play would be Jan 1st??
  5. Thought he stated the number of players un-vaxxed was in single digits. So that could be 8 or 9 out of 53 which would end up with a higher percent, roughly 15%?? That would be a small improvement of the training camp numbers that were published someplace of around 20%
  6. I somewhat agree with you. I say somewhat because a few years back I felt the college reviews were much faster. But lately they've become almost as slow as the NFL. I wonder whatever happened a few years back seem to recall the review would last "X" amount of seconds, after that the monitor would turn off, so that limited the length of reviews. IMO the biggest thing that would help is full time referees.
  7. They said the issue with the Carolina punter is he's from Australia and played their style football which doesn't involve place kicking so has never done it. For most teams the punter could kick FG in emergency. Admittedly is surprising when they signed the punter they didn't have him practice kicking FG's too. Wouldn't be surprised if that is what he's doing right now though.
  8. Agree with most of what you state, but isn't Boxing day the 26th? Tenn-Sf game is this Thursday the 23rd.
  9. Was kind of thinking the same. I assume they did pick up his option?
  10. Initially I agreed, but looking at the replay it was one of those plays where the other guy started it first and he responded and got the call. Just like earlier that one on the sideline, Bills started it, but Panther guy made the last push and got flagged.
  11. Actually I'd probably like them, though would prefer made with milk chocolate.
  12. Am I missing something or are you trying to invent something?? What's with the "Cookie" thing? Do agree with your picks however!
  13. They often talk about 1st year players hitting the rookie wall after 10 or 11 games. In the case of Brown and Groot, not only are they rookies hitting the potential wall, they also both didn't play last season so I'd think that would be like the effect of hitting the rookie wall exponentially! Their bodies may have no game conditioning left at this point.
  14. Without the int, may have been a shutout
  15. Think they need to keep a RB in on every passing play. This empty backfield stuff isn't working
  16. Can't recall the guys name, but the Bills traded a very useless offensive lineman to NE two years ago, so anything is possible. Having said that not sure ready to give up on him either. Maybe he does need to put weight back on as suggested in this thread Knox didn't look very good after two years either.
  17. Offensively agree not playing as well as last season. Though do think defense is doing better so may be a wash overall. But if Allen didn't slip in Tenn game, could have still won that one. Last week, if Allen's foot was one inch further inbound, it's 1st and goal. Those are two they could have easily one. Can't recall much about Jax game anymore, but likely one or two plays could have changed that one to.
  18. Oh good, so light winds compared to two weeks ago in Buffalo. Do think the Bills need to not fear the wind like they did in the 1st half two weeks ago, or figure out how to run the ball with success. Of those two options I'll take passing into the wind.
  19. And there's another whole thread about how every year at least one team that makes the conference championship, doesn't make the playoff the following year. Did all those teams fire their coach. Steelers did it 3 times, they certainly didn't. So what. The biggest difference between this year and last year is record in close games which often involves luck. If they had lost a couple of them last year and won a couple more this year, could just as easily have the same record. With a little luck they could have be a one loss team. More than one thread about that too. What makes you think they'd find a better coach.? Who would you hire that will be better? Give up your crusade!
  20. Players on Covid list don't show up on inactive. That's why Bills only have three inactive. Need to see an active list to know for certain.
  21. So the crowd determines the coach?? Is this the Roman Gladiators?? I know you can only dream. Thank god most people are much smarter.
  22. Previously it was thought they didn't want to play Bates as he was their only backup center available. Today they'd also have Mongo available to also play center if needed so that fear may go away.
