Vrabel whining about the officiating in Bills/Pats
colin replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
i'm w vrable on this. if you paid what kraft pays the refs, you'd expect a lot better treatment. -
I don't even know which one of them that is I like some of the shows, even if they are dumb as two posts, that have a bunch of ex players on them (podcast, not an ESPN type show) because you get the perspective of actual NFL guys. They never beat the handicappers, but it is at least interesting to me. The network TV guys are just garbage, and I honestly don't understand how anyone can watch them

gaps in the nfl are small. if we had full health on the D, w hoyt, carter, bosa, rook jackson, and ed oliver out there we might have 2 more road wins (miami and houston). to show how small -- having kinkaid available means our team is 8-1 in those games. we lost atl without him, we lost to the fins and houston without him, we are 1-3 when he doesn't play. the one game we did lose with him, hosting NE, we got horribly jobbed by the refs (100 yards in penalties is shocking) and we had 3 turnovers, which is very rare at home. and we still lost by only 3 and kinkaid went of vs the cheats. on D, our epa vs the run goes from bottom 5 when bernard has played to top 3 when shaq thompson has played. part of that is bernard is hurt, but a lot of that is thompson is a legit talented big strong MLB, and bernard is small and not strong and suited more to the WLB type role for us. i also think thompson is a much better signal caller on D. the most striking example was the atl game. we got trucked unmerciful in the first half w bernard sticking it up, and we were so so so much better in the 2nd half w thompson. if the roster is a disaster, it's because we have no talent at WR, and we have had so much talent missing or playing hurt on D. and even then, this team is potent w kinkaid and thompson on the field.

is it certain that if we win out and the pats split w the dolphins that we win the division? It goes to like the 3rd or 4th tie breaker in that case. obv, if we win out and they drop to the fins and ravens, we get the division, and frankly i think that's sort of out best (or only) shot. I will say, depending on who wins the south in the case where we don't win the east (jax or hou or maybe even indy) and who else ends up as a wild card, there seems to be a fairly good chance that we will be the only wild card winner week one (say if we are at pittz, which i think is most likely). that means that if the pats are the number one seed, they come off of a bye and host us. a young upstart team like that, especially a vrable coached one cuz he got his titans beat by cincy when they were the 1 seed a few years back, they have a real risk of peaking early and being one and done in the playoffs. i really want the 1 seed/division, but beating the pats as a wild card when they are the 1 seed to travel to denver for the afc chip sounds like the easiest path for our team to a chip BY MILES since we've gotten josh allen. ragged pittz team, not ready net pats team, and then bo nix and the broncos even if all on the road is a good script. only the pats out of all of them can stop the run, and they can't even slow down kinkaid, and we have the much better and more experienced qb (save rogers, but he's cooked). i also don't think we get out coached in those games like we have vs ried in past. in the nfl imo it's green bay or the rams. i'd rather play the rams if we got that far, i think gb is a bad match up for us, but at that point i'd be ready for all comers.

There’s something different about McD this season…
colin replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
i heard some radio guys talk about it, and some sort of un sourced stuff i saw on bills twitter. partly it's what people are saying about mcd's comments, but i think at the very least tensions are rising. and they should be, it's been too close for too long.
