They could sign Jonathan Williams off the Saints practice squad. Lol!

I think major league baseball is the most restrictive of the 4 major sports. I believe for the NFL you are allowed to add anybody, even before the Super Bowl.

Why not Gronkowski? Julian or Julia for a girl?

How about Dalton Boyd?

I remember him making some rookie bonehead decisions in the game vs the Bills, like challenging a call that was obviously correct and would only have amounted to a few yards. Of course, we had a clown who didn’t challenge an obvious bad call because they didn’t show the replay on the board in KC

I think you forgot Netscape.

No, it's the significance of it being New Years Eve, the Bengals unlikely last minute win and the Bills 1st playoff berth since '99. Let them celebrate New Year's Eve on us!

I think a couple of cases of champagne would've been more appropriate.

I was thinking it was pretty hopeless that we had to rely on Dalton but he did it. I was just hoping for a tying FG to go to OT, which would have been fun but nerve wracking to watch. Ravens would've just had to play for a tie. Thank you Bengals! And to think the Bills' loss to the Bengals put us in this 'out of our hands' scenario

So, how do they keep Hue Jackson with a 1-31 record? By record, the team regressed.

So, most of the country gets to see a meaningless KC/Denver game? Nice.

So then the Raiders sign Sammy Watkins as free agent?

Has to be #3. He said he’s wealthy. It costs money to create and maintain that Fro

I don’t know about Downing. It seems Derek Carr has regressed with him as OC vs Musgrave

I watched the USC/UCLA game with Kirk Herbstreit as commentator. He was right on with the QB comparison that Darnold has some wow throws but is inconsistent while Rosen is solid, more accurate and consistent. Kind of like Favre vs Brady

I think special teams is what it’s all about. Andre Holmes was put on IR so Anderson was brought back to replace him.

Has this thread approached record standards for replies and reviews?

Is there not enough refutable evidence?

Astro deserves some awards (Most Important?) for his training camp practice reports.

I thought he looked very good.

I hear ya. I was just thinking yesterday about the Bills ‘ needs and thought that they were set at safety with the starters and Elston so maybe they could upgrade the 4th and then they make this move

No, the Pats have shown you can pay off the refs. Every time the Ravens score, a penalty gets called against them.

Yes, there has to be some punishment. For those that my not have heard, there was a recent incident in a Golden State Warriors game involving Sean Livingston and an NBA referee where Livingston was questioning a call and the ref moved towards him and they bumped heads. Livingston was tossed from the game and received a one game suspension. I was surprised to hear, though, that the ref was reprimanded with being taken out of the referee rotation for a week. Way to go Adam Silver, or whoever decides on the NBA punishments. I wish they they would do something like that with NFL refs, although since most are still only part time employees could it really be effective? Since I'm on a roll, Major League Baseball also should get their umpires in line. It may not happen as much as in the old days with managers like Billy Martin and Earl Weaver, but many times the umps prolong confrontations by becoming more involved instead of turning around or walking away. I guess those arguments could be seen as part of the entertainment but I never hear anything about an ump getting reprimanded for anything. In fact remember when Sandy Alderson moved from the Oakland A's to the MLB offices, he set out to make umpires follow the rule book in calling balls and strikes. I remember one senior ump was quoted as saying "Nobody's gonna tell me how to call balls and strikes!". At the time I thought "Really, you work for him, idiot!" Those of us that still watch baseball recognize that pitchers and batters still have to adjust to the home plate umpire for each game based on how he calls strikes which I think is ridiculous. Yes, some NFL ref crews may call more penalties than others but they aren't allowed to make their own interpretations of the riles.

Yeah, you pretty much expect heartbreak, like all of the teams we need to lose do lose but the Bills also lose late, or the Bills win, one of Oakland or Jacksonville wins, but the other loses late on a controversial play.

We will never know the whole story behind the Peterman start vs the Chargers. If Dennison pushed for it, as some suspect, since it backfired McDermott could fire Rici for it. Then, in the aftermath, McD first would only name Tyrod the starter week-to-week for the next couple weeks before declaring he was the starter when healthy. Again, we don't know what has transpired behind the scenes. If you think about it, it seems a little strange to force your starting QB to renegotiate his contract, bench him for one half, then keep him as the starter the rest of the season. Perhaps if the playoffs weren't still a possibility, he might have been benched permanently. The 'planning for now and the future' pendulum seems to swing ever so slowly at times and quickly at others. Don't forget that Arians has had health issues.
