Same here. With the camera view, it’s hard to see that McKenzie was even back there and the eyes follow Josh going back. Then you see McKenzie flying around the corner and he has the ball.

With the Bills long-standing poor record on the West Coast, I had even changed my pick in the pick-em league to the Raiders. This is a signature win. Derek Carr May have played the best game I’ve seen him play and the Bills still won. Looking forward, but not too far, to see how they do vs the Super Bowl teams.

Yeah, Beasley had a couple, the one by Brown that WAS a touchdown, and a couple by Diggs. 24 for 34 and I remember 3 blatant drops. One by Knox in the red zone and then it was cool that they ran the exact same play right after and he almost scored. Then there were the 2 back-to-back by Beasley and Brown on crossing patterns. Other than that they really helped their QB.

The defense in the 4th Quarter won the game. They had a 4th down hold turnover and 2 caused/recovered fumbles. It’s not their fault the offense did nothing with the ball afterwards. Also, after the broadcasters were giving kudos to Dabol for staying aggressive, they get that 2nd fumble and then run it 3 straight times but take less than 2 minutes off the clock. Next, Bo-dork-ez punts the ball into the end zone. A win is a win and they’re 4-0 but they don’t make it easy for themselves. Definitely exciting football but I’d like to see a game stay 28-3 in our favor to the end.

So, they’re saying to complete the catch, he had to be tackled to the ground and at that point the ball wasn’t over the goal line? They are infuriating. The replay system is supposed to get the call right and they frequently do not. They also need to change the rule that a team needs to challenge if the call on the field is not a TD. If it’s a play that might be a score, it should be reviewed the same as if the refs ruled a score on the field. I’ll have to maybe watch the game again but I think the Bills were lucky to avoid unsportsmanlike conduct penalties a few times during skirmishes. There was one where Taiwan Jones definitely threw a punch and a flag was thrown but then they just called a penalty on the Raiders for illegal block. Another time, it looked like Norman thrust his hand into someone’s face mask and I’ve seen that called before. And there was another with Diggs, where it looked like he took a swing and it took a couple teammates to get him out of there.

Yep. There was a period there where i got sick of the Bills taking DBs in the 1st round. Now it may be the biggest need. Also backup LB.

With the Bills in Vegas, what are the chances they all behaved and stayed in their rooms?

The Jets, whether you want to consider them New Jersey or not, represent a “glamour “ city but generally don’t go after the marquee players. I don’t recall the state of their team in past seasons, but I don’t remember them going after Peyton Manning when he was available. Most NFL teams, including them, should consider themselves stupid for not taking a chance on Drew Brees when he was available. They didn’t even go for a Joe Flacco until now when he’s 35. Their other recent QBs have been of the Fitzpatrick, McCown variety. As others have said, even when they draft a Darnold or Mark Sanchez they don’t give him enough talent to be successful. Robbie Anderson isn’t a Pro Bowl player but he was an effective deep weapon for Darnold and they let him leave. They replaced him with Breshad Permian, who cashed in on a few good games in the 2nd half of the 2019 season with Tampa. He’s done little. They also brought in our old friend, Chris Hogan and drafted Denzel Mims. That receiving crew isn’t on the same planet compared to what the Bills have right now.

I’ve been on the West Coast for 40 years. The Bills are probably about 3-30 in history out here, some of which i attended. I only saw them win once in person, vs the Rams in 2016 out of over a dozen games. Hopefully this squad can get this one.

Penis? [Edit: I'm shocked the word filter allows this. Don't get ideas, People! -Mod]

It’s similar to how it was for Michael Vick. Yes, he had a strong arm but it’s not like he was consistently hitting deep throws. His running ability is what worried defensive coordinators. When he had an injury and lost a step, he was less effective.

If they appeal, can they still participate until their appeal is heard?

Another thing I noticed about Mahomes is that he doesn’t panic. He’s a real cool customer. I think Josh can eventually get there, too.

Yep, that Metcalf bonehead move was Leon Lett 2.0

Definitely doesn’t fit the McD culture. Accountability? Bwahaha!

You just had to bring up Mularkey!

Yeah, that one play that seemed to last forever that ended up with a 2-handed push throw where he was called down, he was surrounded but kept getting free but not enough to get off a strong pass with his right arm. Thus the push pass. Maybe he needs to practice throwing with his left so he can be ambidextrous like Mahomes?

Yeah, I give kudos to McVay. I’ve seen many games where a strong running team falls behind by a couple scores in the first half and totally abandons the running game and starts passing out of the spread on every down. I know the NFL is now a passing league, but if you have a good running game, it’ll eventually wear down a defense, especially in hotter weather.

The fact that they didn’t overturn it after the replay was worse. Kroft makes a great leaping catch, has full possession. Then when he lands, the DB grabs on and they both maintain possession as they fall to the ground. Tie up is supposed to go to the offensive player. How is that not a catch? Of course, if the Bills lost, the league would announce on Tuesday that the call was incorrect and say Sorry. Is this maybe because the NFL is really losing money by not having full stadiums so they can’t afford to have one-sided games where viewers may turnoff the game? (Sarcasm!) Unfortunately, I’ve been seeing similar things throughout the baseball season and NBA Playoffs. The replay systems are supposed to get the calls right but they’re not too many times. In one Oakland A’s game, a ball hit by an Oakland player clearly goes over the fence into the stands, hits a seat and bounces back onto the field. The umps call it a ground rule double. It’s reviewed and the broadcast shows multiple replays from different angles in real speed and SloMo and it’s obvious it’s a home run. The umps finish their long replay review and say it was the right call as a ground rule double.

I don’t think you can give Josh an A+ with the bonehead plays. They were crucial, one resulting in a turnover plus a 15 yard penalty, the other ( face mask) a sack plus a 15 yard penalty. Even the so-called INT was a hero-ball throw that shouldn’t have been attempted. What a catch by Kroft though.

Get Ready For This

It says incomplete until you do the tiebreakers. Your game selections are still good.

They also must’ve used the same marketing firm as the Clippers did to come up with that logo.

But Rosen’s there right now learning behind a HOF QB.

I have that but for some reason the new one isn’t showing.
