Pass interference. They may not have caught the ball. 15 yds should be the penalty not spot of the foul.
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.

This play is one that I show folks when they ask what its like to be a Bills fan...
It was right before the half too,I believe, so we got nothing out of it
Yeah iirc time expired during the kick return.
Isn't amazing to watch a broadcast without graphics all over it?
-
Two first-round picks have already agreed to rookie deals. Keep up with all the moves here
Ryan Kelly signing with the Colts should make it easier for the Bills to get Shaq signed.
Yeah. The ceiling is set for Shaq.
Should be easy peasy to get that one in the bag.

One of the few teams with a worse player personnel record than the Bills between 1999 and 2010. And we've seemingly gotten back on track, at least.
I'm pulling for DePodesta, the Cleveland fans deserve better.
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.

This team is about the hardest to gauge at this point. I'm gonna say yes, because I'm a fan, and honestly think they have the talent -- it's just whether some players can come back and Rex Ryan can remember how to coach a game or get the most out of his defense. I have some hope for the former as he has been top 10 most seasons in the past.
If Aaron Williams and Kyle Williams come back strong, the line is healthy (Henderson may be better than most people think). and Ryan does with the defense, what he's done with past defenses, instead of whatever the hell was going on last season, and Tyrod is for real, Watkins continues his arc towards beyond real, this could be a breakout season a la the Panthers this year. If everything goes wrong, we could well be talking about who to take with a top pick this time next year.
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.

Yeah, RI pushed him in the waist area.
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.

5) (To the Nationwide tune); Sorry that we kicked your ass...
Winner!

How about Gronk throwing an unmitigated **** fit on the last play of the game?
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.
-
If I remember correctly.. we were competitive, but burned ourselves with field goals and extra points in that game.
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.
-
Doesn't count. Has to be in a Tyrod thread.
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.
-
lol goes to show how often I watch the Pro Bowl
Called it!
CBF
I called it first!FYI Darby is likely a Pro Bowler.
(The craziest thing is that With Flacco, Manning, Brees, Luck all having bad years Tyrod could get an alternate Pro Bowl Nod after the Injuries and the Super Bowl QBs can't make 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.Sure looks like the Denver D is backing it up.
The only TD Denver D has given up came after a Manning INT.
I love watching Brady pick himself up off the ground so much.

Yes. Now twice.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.
Did you read the entire article?
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?

SD had a better defense than Buffalo and yet the Chargers were worse than the Bills. So how exactly does Philip Rivers get the more wins with us? I think your fanboy logic is faulty.
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.
-
Tyrod is and will be the Bills Franchise QB for the next 3-5 years. Then he will be slowed down by age and injuries.
Go Bills
Not sure if 3-5 years of starting, makes one a "Franchise QB."
-
The reason that we used those guys is so that everyone is voting with the same baseline. Everyone has a different definition so we had to establish a universal scale so that people are voting on the same thing.
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 just saw a locker clean-out interview with Jerry Hughes. I saw it on Twitter and can't get it right now but it's on bills.com I think and someone will link it I'm sure.
It's possible I'm reading into this but Hughes sounded to me like the players didn't put the work in in training camp to learn the playbook. I don't think he was talking about anyone in particular but just that they should have had the defense down, they had time to get it down, even before the season, and they just didn't get it down. He was a very standup guy about it.
I was watching a Sabres game this year against the Columbus Blue Jackets. They were coming off an season where they ended on a 12-0-1 win streak but didn't make the playoffs. This year everyone everywhere thought they were going to be one of the better teams in the league and they have been terrible. The announcers were interviewing a guy who was there at the beginning of the season and he said it was immediately clear to him that these guys weren't prepared. They came into the season positive they were going to be great but didn't put the work in, didn't work their ass off in training camp, and just assumed they would start winning because of the way they played together at the end of last year.
I think that's very possible what happened to the Bills defense.
They just assumed they would be great because they had been great in 2014 and now had Rex. And they knew they knew how to play defense. But they may not have put the hours and work in to learn the new defense the way they should have.
So maybe it wasn't all Rex's scheme and the blame goes half on the players.
That said, I still think that Rex had an absolutely horrible year with his game plans and strategy and trying to be too cute. So even if it was more the players fault than we thought it wasn't less his fault for not pressuring, pressing, and doing what he does best in 14 of the 16 games.
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%
If Jay Cutler and Alex Smith qualify as "franchise quarterbacks" Tyrod, in his first season as a starter, has numbers eerily close to both of them.
Remember last offseason when a lot of pundits wanted the Bills to trade for Cutler or Bradford and take on their contracts?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.

IK should be the Jets Captain. He is clearly the MVP of that team for taking out Geno.
This is the correct response.

Not sure what that has to with anything.
