The Big Cat

I'm sorry, but simplifying the rule leaves much more to interpretation. For clarity, see how soccer has written the rules of the game. They're intentionally vague and concise, and the open-interpretation is what has lead to different styles of plays from league to league since the rules are enforced completely different in Italy compared to Germany compared to the U.S. compared to England.

I actually didn't mention it but you're right. It's already too subjective but it's damn near impossible to change the rule without making it WAY too subjective. In this case, true to the OP, what's subjective is what referees consider "the process."

i totally agree with this. people bitching about the rule fail to offer how it SHOULD be codified. and for every spectacular near-catch like yesterday, the rule susses out a dozen bogus catches along the way. there's really no other way to write the rule without leaving A LOT to subjectivity. and quite frankly, if it was my team, and fractions of an inch and hundredths of a second separated me from a conference championship game, i'd want any and all subjectivity summarily eliminated.

And given that his secondary was on fumes those numbers, compared to a remarkably healthy Bills team seem pretty impressive.

Hardly compares to those other NFL cultural Meccas Kansas City, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Green Bay, Tampa Bay and, of course, Oakland.

...he's 77. I doubt he's offered/takes a FT NFL coaching job of any sort.

Because Fred Jackson said so.

I'm inclined to agree that the learning curve with EJ is much steeper than it ever was with Wilson. That said, a run first guy who tailors an offense to meet the strengths he has (Watkins, Watkins, Watkins, Watkins, Watkins and may be Spiller) is something we're sorely lacking.

What irks me more and more about this reality is that it's a major blind spot for a coach that apparently now was self-imposed in the form of Doug Whaley sabotage. And yet we still managed nine wins. Folks will scream bloody murder at this, but the real victim in all of this is Hackett.

I think that fans making this point are missing the much larger issue: Wilson is being put in a position to succeed based on what he CAN do. Folks aren't suggesting Bevell would turn EJ into Wilson. Instead, they're saying the offense will be tailored to minimize EJ's limitations by maximizing the talents he does posses.

You are the bastard brat of a Scottish peddler! Your ambition, your restlessness and all your grandiose schemes come, I'm convinced, from a superabundance of secretions, which you couldn't find enough whores to absorb! (i may have stolen this one)

Reading that right now. Bevell remains in my top three along with (in no particular order) Jackson and Schwartz.

You're bad at the Internet. And also insulting people.

Liking Bevell? Based on?

2006 was a while ago, buddy

Duh

4th?

???? What are you talking about? Yeah, if his inability to make nice with RGIII is a problem, I think we now have a season with Jay Gruden to indicate that perhaps the issue was on the other side of the table. There's some pretty ****ty stuff in there, though. Oh well, he's not our coach insofar.

What if I step outside my home and catch a stray bullet on my way to work???????????????????

my source just texted me to say that Kyle Shanahan was doing really well until the jiggle test.

Totally agreed on the talent : heart ratio.

And yeah, to allay any confusion, that's who I was referring to, assuming Shanny can do with EJ what he's done with other middling QB's.

But especially in the aforementioned scenario, is much better than the backup currently on our roster.

Well, everyone on this board and most everyone in the national media thinks he did well. So there's that.
