Sometimes. Not sure what that has to with anything.

The reason you can't do that in the NFL is that it incentives a DB to tackle a defenseless receiver before the ball arrives on any deep pass. Give up the 15 yard penalty instead of the 40 yard pass.

Yeah iirc time expired during the kick return. Isn't amazing to watch a broadcast without graphics all over it?

Yeah. The ceiling is set for Shaq. Should be easy peasy to get that one in the bag. (Lightning Crashes and Thunder rolls)

They are and have been the one franchise that Bills fans can point to and say "Well, atleast we're not the Browns."

Julio Jones is still dominating the NFL, All of the Browns picks in that deal are out of the NFL. Hey, Let's try this again. I'm surprised the Eagles are trading away all of their picks after Chip Kelly traded or cut away all of their quality players. This looks like a bad move by both teams. At Least the Browns get more picks to screw up. I guess the Browns are going with the broken clock is right twice a day strategy or is it the Blind Squirrel strategy.

This is a great move for the Bills. We could never Sack Brady with a crap O-Line, so the Cheats improving the O-Line has no effect on the Bills. Chandler Jones would wreck havoc when he was in the lineup so now we don't have to worry about that. On paper it looks great move for the Pats too but in regard to the specific net effect on a Sunday matchup against the Bills, it shouldn't hurt the Bills.

It has very little to do with the Bills players. The Bills play 3 of the hardest divisions in football (AFC East, AFC North, and NFC West). There are worse teams than the Bills that will play bad divisions and rack up easy wins to earn the wildcard slots. The only way they make the playoffs is if they beat New England twice and take the AFC East crown.

You got a purdy mouth on you.

I found this angle: http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/10/4/9450735/buffalo-bills-richie-incognito-nfl-dirty And I take that back. It is a definite chop block. Live broadcast is from the side and it looks like Incognito touches him then pulls back and falls down but that angle looks like a text book chop block. I stand corrected.

Winner!

The fit should have been thrown by the Denver D. He completely shoved the defender out of the field of play to catch the TD on the previous play. It was text book OPI and right out in the open. The refs didn't have the balls to call the obvious OPI.

You remember incorrectly. Two TDs got called back. One on a completely BS chop block that was not a chop block in any way. Inconginto looked at a guy that was engaged went to block him then pulled up. They refs called a chop block anyway even though Incongnito didn't actually make the block.

It sure as **** counts. If a ball bounces off of two defenders and a teammate's hands and then is caught, it still counts as a reception. If the prediction is in an off topic thread it still counts! Still can't believe Darby didn't get the DB nod over Grimes.

I called it first!

Called It!

And the last minute TD by Gronk was definitely a push off. He threw the DB out of the way and caught the pass.

Yes. Now twice. A Graph of every single season is proving that two division, 1 in the NFC and 1 in the AFC will have the same non division opponents. Like I said it's not that complicated to figure that out. He isn't doing any type of analysis that I described. Questions: Is there a relationship between what position you placed in the year prior and making the playoffs? Is there a relation between being scheduled a specific AFC Division and making the playoffs/Super Bowl? Is there a relation between being scheduled a specific NFC Division and making the playoffs/Super Bowl?

Um, this was pretty obvious in April of 2015. When the Bills beat the Colts in the opener they should have run the table in the weak AFC South and the NFC East is garbage. It doesn't take a lot of fancy charts to figure out that the AFC East had a weak schedule. A real analysis would do some analysis of Division and place and their effect on making the playoffs. For example the NFC division team that played the AFC East made the Super Bowl and inordinate amount of times.

Faulty logic, huh? I'm not even sure what to make of your first sentence. It makes zero sense. Have you seen the Chargers roster? They're rolling out an old Stevie Johnson and no o-line. Fanboy? It is a simple thought exorcize, swap QBs and then determine if there would be a positive or negative effect on the team. The 2015 Buffalo Bills with Philip Rivers would win more games. It's not even logical to argue that point.

Not sure if 3-5 years of starting, makes one a "Franchise QB."

I think the universe where Alex Smith and Cutler are "Franchise QBs" is a universe I don't want to be in. If you change the vote to "Average performing NFL Caliber Starting QB" which is what I would call Alex Smith and Cutler. (They are both certainly NFL Caliber starting QBs. Not at the top of their game but not below average. Whereas someone like Schaub or whoever is going to start in Houston is most certainly not an NFL caliber starting QB anymore. ) Then I would definitely change my vote to 76-99%. TT deserves to play and likely deserves to start in the NFL. He has demonstrated that he is NFL caliber. Hopefully TT will only get better with more reps and build a resume where he consistently steps and performs in high pressure situations (which is what he did at VT). Consistently winning over an average replacement and consistently performing well in high pressure situation are two key qualities of a "Franchise" QB in my opinion. TT has certainly not demonstrated either but will likely be given the opportunity to prove that in 2016. Imo there is 1-25% chance he proves he is a "Franchise QB"

I'm not interested in justifying the shite performance by the Defense. I'm not interested in pandering BS hope for next season. (The NFC West and AFC North is going to eat this Mickey Mouse Defense alive in 2016) They sucked because they were poorly coached (can't get players in and out of the game. Egregious number of neutral zone infractions, etc) and did not execute (the players appeared to enjoy having a great view of watching RBs leak out of the backfield and take dump off passes for 25+ yards. "Oh was I supposed tackle that guy?", no effort on pass rush, etc.) Just !@#$ing win!

I love me some Tyrod. Still wouldn't change my vote from 1-25% I don't know if they do. I must have a higher standard of a franchise QB. My Definition: A QB that will LEAD their team to more VICTORIES in place of an AVERAGE NFL QB (.e. if Tony Romo is replaced by an AVERAGE NFL QB the team does not win. If the Colts replace an average NFL QB with Andrew Luck the Colts win more games) AND can CONSISTENTLY perform well in high pressure situations (2 minute Drill, 4th QTR. Game Ending Drives). TT is not a franchise QB by my definition. If you put Philip Rivers on the 2015 Buffalo Bills, they're probably an 11-5 team this season maybe better. Cutler is debatable but likely not a franchise QB. I believe that Alex Smith is an average QB I don't know if the Chiefs do worse if Matthew Stafford or Ryan Tannehill were a QB. I don't know how much LEADING ALex Smith does. I don't believe I've seen much "clutch" play by Alex Smith.

This is the correct response.
