  1. It boggles my mind that NFL officials are so completely incapable of correctly calling offensive and defensive pass interference. These are game-changing calls that are incorrectly called more than 50% of the time. Totally unacceptable. Must be reviewable.

    Crap PI call.

    And the OPI call on Crabtree was ticky-tac at best.
  2.  

    Rex Ryan also was chasing LSU OT/OG La'el Collins who had a troubled past and no team wanted to draft him. Rex wined and dined with him to attempt to get him to sign with Buffalo, sadly Collins chose Dallas instead because he would have been a huge upgrade at RG like he has been for the Cowboys who signed him. Ryan wanted to build a big powerful line to run the ball with power and that is exactly what the bills offense has done the last two years.

     

     

     

    La'el Collins is indeed a beast. I cannot for the life of me understand why the Bills (along with every other team in the league) didn't just use a seventh round pick on him instead of wining and dining him as an UFA. Makes no sense whatsoever.

  3. The season is over and the record is in. If you don't want to take note of the difference in the way more successful teams play compared to the stumbling Bills that is your prerogative.

     

    The Giants had nothing to play for from a playoff position standpoint. They played hard all game. If you can't see the qualitative difference between the two successful teams I referred to compared to how the Bills played then so be it.

    The Giants (in addition to going to the playoffs themselves) were playing a bitter rival, for whom it was a "win or go home" game. The Jets yesterday were playing for nothing, unlike last year's finale which was "win or go home" for them. If the Jets needed that game yesterday, you would have seen a completely different approach from the Billls, just like you did last year. The Bills did the right thing yesterday, and it was a top-down decision.
  4. The Troup pick had me befuddled. We selected an undersized nose tackle who had a bad back. It turned out that he was an undersized nose tackle who had a bad back. :wallbash:

    Well, at least there weren't any talented players still left on the board at that point...

    The first Three. The Rex way.

    First four picks, actually. You forgot about the 4th rounder given away (along with this year's 4th) to move up for an ILB.
  5. The only thing we learned today is that the Bills were smart enough (for once) to opt for improved draft position over a meaningless end of season win. If you think the players did not get that message, you would be mistaken. The reason it did not happen in the past is that coaches like Rex and Marrone were busy padding their resumes with garbage-time wins after failing miserably during the competitive portion of schedule.

  6. Before everyone gets too upset at this game, there is an 11 spot swing in the draft at stake here. Bills could pick as high as 9 with a loss, as low as 20 with a win. Come draft time, you will be glad they lost today.

    And according to Doug Whaley, moving up nine slots in the second round alone is worth two fourth-round picks.
