Albany,n.y.

Enforce it like the NBA does with flagrant fouls. When there's a question whether it was egregious, just review it. If it's egregious it a spot penalty, otherwise 15 yards.

The Giants & Bills are both on Fox this week, we never had a chance of seeing the Bills game at home. If the Giants were owen, they'd still get top priority in Albany. However, the local CBS station has abandoned the Jets for this season.

The Bills were built to win the Super Bowl in SoFi, not in cold weather. Hey, since it look like the Bills will be playing only 1 or maybe no playoff games at home, we're right on target. 😜

BTW, NE has won nothing yet, certainly not any playoff games so anyone who thinks they know NE is going to be in the Super Bowl hasn't been proven right or wrong, but I'd say the odds are they'll be proven wrong & the only way Belichick is going to the Super Bowl is with a ticket to the game. We'll see. If they lose to Indy Saturday the division is well within the Bills reach. I'd like to see a link on Tom Brady Sr.'s net worth as well as any evidence he has ever had an NFL affiliation. All I was able to find on a search is in the late 1970s he started his own insurance & estate planning company & is the CEO.

Then why aren't you millionairs from betting on football if you have everything figured out? Did you bet a lot on the Patriots futures before the season since you knew they would be good? If not, why not.

Absolutely. The refs can get intimidated by a home crowd, whether they are willing to admit it or not.

Just keeping it real & not trying to find things that have a simpler, more realistic, explanation. I've seen plenty of games in a variety of sports where the refs are afraid to make calls in the final minutes that can win the game for the team behind. As I said, they're cowards, not game fixers.

You are delusional. A more reasonable explanation is that the refs were too cowardly to make a call in the final minute that they realized could decide the winner. If the Bills kick a field goal it's still the players deciding the outcome. You see this all the time, especially in the NHL where a penalty won't be called in the final minutes. I repeat, you are delusional & have no basis for claiming that they would have thrown the flag for Tampa in that moment. I'm not awaiting any more of your deliusional replies.

Deep down they know they're being delusional, but they just can't help themselves. My biggest pet peeve is conspiracy theories. I can't stand the way these people twist facts to support their wild opinions. It goes well beyond sports.

They actually drafted 3 OL, but one was cut, signed to the practice squad & then went to the Eagles. Imagine if Beane had not re-signed Feliciano & Williams-the people would have really been up in arms because he would have created 2 holes in the O-line before the draft & the 3 draftees wouldn't have been anywhere near enough. At the time the re-signings made a lot of sense because without them it would have been instant whack-a-mole like prior GMs used to do with CBs-develop them and then let them go after 4-5 years & use another #1 pick on their replacement. The big mistake was not getting a RB in the 1st 2 rounds. RB is one of the few positions that you can rarely find in free agency since they're either past their prime, cost too much or both. Drafting RBs in the 3rd round is too iffy. The sweet spot is early 2nd round. If Beane could trade up for Ford in the 2nd, he could trade up for a RB. This is actually similar to how the Bills treated the QB spot before Josh. The sweet spot for QBs is the top 10. Beane came in realizing that & fixed years of cheaping out on QBs & went for a top 10 QB for the 1st time since the merger & common draft. For the record I did an analysis a while back & found the percentages for QB success drop dramatically after the top 10. It's a 53% success rate for a top 10 QB & drops to 36% for the rest of the 1st round ging down to 24% for the 2nd. For years the Bills went with either later round 1st rounders (EJ & JP) or signed late round backups to start (Fitz & Tyrod). I have not done a complete RB analysis although I looked at the top RBs & most were gone by pick 50. I would give Daboll the benefit of the doubt. He knows he doesn't have the RBs or OL for a balanced attack & is really stuck with Superman, his receivers & not much else. The only reason the running game worked in the 2nd half was it was totally unexpected & at the time with the big lead, Tampa was trying to stop the passing game & not concerned with the Bills running for a few yards. I don't know how much is on the coaches. The O-line moves re-signing 2 starters on a 13-3 team & drafting 3 O-linemen just didn't work out. Maybe Sando wouldn't have been so critical if Brown had been drafted in the 1st round, but if the 2021 O-line struggled with different moves he certainly would have blamed Beane for letting Williams & Feliciano go creating 2 giant holes on the O-line.

Nobody is programming me. You're the one on the lunatic fringe with your conspiracy theories. If you are so sure everything is scripted and you know that, why aren't you making millions betting on the scripts?

How's life on Mars?

Tom Brady on the sidelines crying with a towel over his head while the Bills are in victory formation.

As long as he doesn't have Covid Toe, why not?

I still have an old VHS tape of the Giants/Bills strike game. I'd have to figure out how to hook up an old VCR to a modern TV in order to watch it.

Star is out again this Sunday. (McDermott on WGR)

We need to find a coach who can control the weather. Until that guy can be found I'd rather stick wit McDermott. Here's a candidate who can make it snow any time he wants it to:

I can't believe how far the Jets have fallen out of favor with our local CBS station (WRGB CH 6) in Albany. A few years ago the Jets always got the top priority followed by the Bills & then NE. Now they won't even show the Jets with no other regional competition & instead are scheduled to show KC/Las Vegas, teams thousands of miles away from here.

Look what Thurman did for Jim Kelly.

I'd rather get my O-line fixed in free agency & get a RB or 2 early in the draft. FA RBs either are nothing special like Breida or are way too expensive to sign & the good ones almost never hit free agency until they have little tread left on their tires.

It's not any coaches fault that the Bills have the worst group of RBs in the league. Even though I'm a big supporter of him, this is Beane's fault for not drafting a RB before the 3rd round. BTW any of you "don't draft a RB in the 1st round group" need to look around the league and recognize that a running back helps the passing game by not letting a team be one dimentional as the Bills are since the RBs are no threat.

I'd take OJ as long as they put a metal detector at the locker room entrance. Seriously, just about every down they run the ball is a wasted down.

Not according to The Athletic's all 22 ratings for the NO game. He had the 3rd LOWEST grade. In case you missed it, the Ravens lost.

It's on Ch 7 in Buffalo.

I remember when I lived in WNY the forecast would be "Flurries, 3 to 5 inches".
