I’m a little surprised too. But the betting public loves the Pack, it’s two tough road games in a row, and you can normally expect a let down after a huge win like this. In this case, though, I don’t foresee a let down; I think this was a win that builds the confidence of a team many had completely written off, and its rookie QB.

No way on Mack , we need those picks to rebuild and McD has got the defense rolling again.
Agree 100 percent, especially if Hughes would have been part of the trade. If anything happens to JA, we’ll be right back in the discussion for first overall pick.

^^This^^^ No one should be looking past GB, who got handled by the Redskins today
Unless the folks posting here are secretly members of the Bills 53-man roster or coaching staff, we can “look past GB” all we want and it won’t make a damn bit of difference.

Cut em all..
Allen is the one man band.
Foster has a knack of getting open and has some speed. Something this team needs.
He gets open, which is something. On an earlier play, Foster was three steps past the nearest defender and Allen underthrew him by 15 yards. It should have been picked.

What's not true about what I said?
I disagree with your premise that phantom, garbage calls like this are an inevitable part of the game. They can be largely gotten rid of by expanding instant replay.

Good tackle. Bad call. But that happens sometimes. No amount of rule changing is going to take bad calls out of the game.
Not true. If replay were applied to calls like this (and the call against Clay Matthews) they would be reversed very quickly. There is no excuse not to review them.

Hughes is like this more often than not. Some LTs are just a little worse with speed rush than others.
Hughes has quietly been the most intense disruptive player in the team for a while.
I agree. That’s why I was completely opposed to trading him away. A lot of people were talking about Hughes as a throw-in in a possible Khalil Mack trade, but he was every bit as disruptive as Mack today.
-
Hughes was great today. He looked like an elite edge rusher. Pass rush overall was outstanding. Don’t know where it came from.

Josh looked like the real deal there! Add his obvious drops back and he’s 18/22.
The long pass that Foster dropped was a thing of beauty.

How are you supposed to play football if that's a penalty?
Nothing worse than a phantom call. No way could the ref have seen anything that resembled an illegal hit, but he threw the flag anyway.

Gruden's Scouting System Led to Divide in Building
Raiders coach Jon Gruden broke down film a certain way when he was preparing for games in the Monday Night Football booth. That method has not changed now that he's back coaching.But the manner in which he evaluates personnel -- and the people who have his ear -- has led to a disconnect in a Raiders building filled with people still trying to adjust to a new way of life.According to sources, Gruden essentially has his own staff that helps him judge talent and make decisions -- most notably confidant and Director of Football Research Dave Razzano -- along with a slew of interns and assistants.Gruden had his own draft board and has his own pro board, separate from those used by others in the organization.Previously a longtime and respected NFL scout, Razzano rose to prominence as a voice on Twitter with controversial takes that included Von Miller will be a bust and Jake Locker should go No. 1 in the draft. He was dubbed the "rogue scout," but now has an office near Gruden's.And while there is no animosity with GM Reggie McKenzie -- quite the opposite -- it's clear to many of the scouts who signed on to work for McKenzie that Gruden is listening mostly to those in his circle.This will not end well.

Oregon had the ball at midfield 2nd & 3. Stanford with just one timeout & 1:00 on the clock.
Ducks run the ball up the middle and fumble. Stanford drives and gets a game tying FG.
In overtime Stanford with the ball first, get a touchdown on their second play.
Oregon got the ball to the 10, but on 4th & Goal, interception by Stanford.
You are forgetting the two blatant DPIs that the refs ignored in OT.

Why? The Vikings are FAR superior to the Ravens, and the Ravens were 44 points better than the Bills. If the line was Ravens favored by 20 points, would you have thought that was absurd?
Not to mention the Vikings are definitely the best team we've faced this year, and we're playing them in Minnesota. 17 points seems generous all things considered.Hard to dispute this. The Bills have been blown out by two average teams.

Won’t make a bit of difference. McCoys not capable of doing anything in this offense. Murphy and Ivory will be fine.

Justin Herbert looking very, very good v Stanford. First overall pick?

not a single “expert” picks us ATS? Ummm. ok.
That’s enough right there to make me want jump on the Bills
4 hours ago, Boatdrinks said:Not surprising. I read that 16 + point dogs are something like 4-54 ATS since the ‘80s. The Bills don’t appear to be capable of beating the spread in this instance.
Well, there’s that...

So what happened in 2002 should guide what the GM does in 2019?
Of course not. But the fact is that there is no other position (including qb) with a higher percentage of complete draft busts than all of the supposed “generational” offensive linemen taken in the top 10, or even the top five. I’m all in favor of drafting offensive linemen every year (and the Bills have definitely ignored the position far too often), but using high first round picks on o-linemen is not the way to instantly solve the problem.

The Bills haven't gone for stud offensive linemen in the first round in eons. That's because they're the Bills. And it's a primary reason they continue to play like they do.
Have you checked out the track record of “stud offensive lineman” taken in the top 10 lately? For that matter, how did it work out when the Bills took one at no. 4 overall?

If anyone knows how to spoil a victory party, it's Browns coach Hue Jackson.
Hue Jackson won't commit to Baker Mayfield as starting QB despite Browns' wild win
I believe Hue Jackson is uncomfortable winning football games. It’s not part of his plan and it seems to throw him off kilter. He does not know how to react. What a clown.

No confusion at all. The Packers are a part of the public sector. The constitution can’t restrict them from expressing themselves.
Almost everything you’ve said in this thread is dead-on, except this. The Packers are not in any sense part of the “public sector”. They might be owned by members of the public, unlike other teams, but they are still a private corporation. Public sector refers to divisions of the government, such as the USPS and the Coast Guard. The first amendment applies directly to employees of those organizations, but they still have work rules they must abide by, so their first amendment rights are far from absolute.

Except it doesn't! The NFL can't even get the video review system right - they're constantly overturning calls without clear and convincing video evidence, or letting obviously poor calls stand.
Usually they get it right with video replay. The fact that they occasionally screw up the replay review (always to the benefit of the Patriots) doesn’t mean the entire system is no good. It’s used in college football to review illegal hits and it works there.

I’m sorry, are we supposed to join in on the media’s over reaction on Jets QB’s now? I’m not hating on him, I’m just saying I am sick of him being praised for his greatness while Allen is being called a bust, even though he is arguably better so far this season.
No surprise. Darnold was hero-worshipped all last year, despite being a turnover machine on a talent-laden USC team.

I think from the refs angle he thought Matthews put all his weight on the QB, from the angle we see in this thread it is clear he didn't. I understand why the rule, often these 310 pound DT put their weight on the QB on purpose, it doesn't assist in bringing the QB down.
All the more ridiculous given that Anthony Barr’s far dirtier hit, which put Aaron Rodgers out for most of the year, was not flagged. Barr intentionally landed on Rodgers with his full weight well after the ball was away, the opposite of what Matthews did.
15 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said:I really cannot understand why a multi-billion dollar industry cannot get its act together to design and enforce rules in a clear and consistent way.
It is affecting my enjoyment of, and interest in, the sport. I watch less and less of it.
Goodell's NFL is boring, unfair, and surprisingly reactive and stupid.
Simple solution—video review. It works.

It wasn’t a fluke win, but it proves how quickly things can go south for even a very good team when they have O-line problems.
