    RBs don't move lines, especially not through a key number. Maybe Adrian Peterson in his prime would move a half point on a non-key number.

    Yep. I almost think Woods would be a bigger loss, not because he's a better player but because there is nothing behind him. Williams, Gillislee and Bush will be more than adequate for one game.
  2. Poppy rooster! The worst no call heard round the world was on this play:

     

    Dennis Erickson lost his HCing job as a result of this travesty at the hands of the Tuna and the Refs. :angry:

    I don't know what the big deal is. The football on Testaverde's helmet clearly crossed the goal-line before his knee was down.

     

    As I recall, the Bills also got screwed by this call--I think they would have won the division instead of qualifying as a wildcard that year.

  3. The teams the Bills have beaten are not really bad teams, like you might find in CFB. All are dangerous and all can beat you on any given day. Simply drilling the lower tier teams on your schedule gets you 7-8 wins, which puts you on the cusp of the playoffs. And if I'm not mistaken, the Bills were underdogs in three of those games (I know the Rams line moved, but the Rams were initially favored.)

  4. If they wanted to challenge all penalties, games would be six hours long. You could call holding on practically every play at the line. If they wanted to limit it to facemask, horsecollars, targeting and PI that might work.

    Utter nonsense. Replays of PI could simply be made one of the categories of calls subject to coaches' challenge under the current system. And I believe it should be extended to roughing the passer and unnecessary roughness calls, as well.

  5. That play looked clean during regular game action, but was clear PI on the replay.

    I agree. I watched it real time it just looked like two guys fighting for the ball, but Sherman clearly grabbed JJ's arm. I have been saying for a long time that PI calls (and probably non-calls) should be subject to review. They have a huge impact on the game and are called incorrectly more often than not.

  6. I'm not saying he did or didn't do it for a reason, just find it interesting he waited until the 3rd week of preseason to do it. Why not start at the beginning of the season when all of these issues were already well know? .

    From what I read, Kaep has been kneeling since the first preseason game; it's just that no one noticed or made a big deal about it until the third one. I'm having a hard time understanding why that matters, in any event. Would his protest be any more or less valid if he had started it at the third preseason game instead of the first?
  7. It seems to me that this team could sneak into the playoffs, even with Tyrod playing at his current "game manager" level (see 2015 Houston, Minnesota), but they are likely to be one-and-done if they do make it. The Bills do not have the type of dominant defense that can propel them to Super Bowl without any real semblance of a professional passing attack.

     

    It will be interesting to see what the team does with Tyrod's contract if he continues to play at this level. Even though he might be overpaid in 2017 and beyond, they don't seem to have any other good options. They clearly aren't going to turn the reins over to Cardale or EJ and they won't draft high enough to land a blue chip QB in the draft (assuming there are any). Unless Tyrod really stinks it up the last 11 weeks, my guess is that the team will exercise the option.

  8.  

    Yes I do. It's a worthless hot take.

    So Marcel came back from suspension hitting on all cylinders? Did you see the photo of him? Did you know he pulled a hammy in one of his first practices? These things lead to a presumption that he was entirely unprepared to return to football and has continued to fail to conduct himself like a professional. Got any evidence to the contrary?
