I don't think so. But I do think they have a real problem with absurd complexity and subjectivity of the rules. Then throw in that refs have to meet for extended periods of time to figure out what the rules are. And, finally, the amount of time and lack of right calls with Instant Replay. All of this could affect ratings. There was always too much standing around in football anyway. Now it's getting way worse.

I have been a Buffalo fan since 1996 and one thing I can say is we always have lights out CBs. I'm afraid we're headed for another Gilmore situation with the Tredavian Nightmare in a few seasons. We'll either have to let him go or give up a lot of cap space to get him to stay. That's why we need to take advantage right here right now.

I think one of the "rules" they have put in could potentially makes things more dangerous. that's when a player fumbles and it's close so they let it go and the other team can challenge if they want. I see some of the guys running around like it's still a live play and other guys thinking the plays over. Dangerous. IR is ruining the game IMHO. It's a can of worms. Where do you stop? There are still tons of bad calls. Bad calls are part of the game. Get rid of IR and deal with it IMHO.

I agree that perhaps a helmet design change could possibly help. I keep thinking that the padding should be on the outside of the helmet as opposed to inside. Perhaps an inflatable one foot thick bubble sort of like in ddaryl's picture except only the helmet. Of course the players would look like Jack-in-the-box's kid which is perhaps partially why this isn't considered.

I don't know. If Trent Dilfer can win a SB with a monster D, why can't Josh?

( In best Trump voice ) Wrooooooooooooong. Coffee was a dime and with cream and or sugar, but real men drank it black.

I don't know, Trump does pretty well with his pen and phone. His signature is better than Obama's too. The best signature. Everybody says that.

With the rising rate of narcissism brought on by helicopter parent telling their kids they are special and giving them trophies and their addiction to social media, I expect to see these statistics rise regardless of politics.

Fear will keep the local executives in line, to borrow a phrase. The real goal of course isn’t to “remake” capitalism. Rather, it’s to create opportunities for corruption and graft. . But she's running for president, not Queen. We do this every 4 years where candidates talk about all this stuff like they can actually do it and people think they actually can, but really it's congress' job to do that kind of stuff. Maybe she should run for congress instead?

If a man says something in a forest where no women can hear, is he still wrong?

Or anyone else's if she really does not want to run. Throw down a cloaked insult to a narcissist and you know what will happen. I guess if you're a narcissist yourself you might no know that though.

This is so true. I had high hopes for the internet when it started to come together in the mid to late 90s. Universities were putting their knowledge out there. I would search for it with archie (not the cartoon character. look it up if you don't know what it is). Awesome, all the world's information available at our fingertips. Was going to be an equalizer where you could run a business and compete with the IBMs of the world and no one would know you were just a Mom and Pop Shop. Then big bidness got in with armies of programmers and advertising etc which has now turned it into the huge mess it is. Like anything else I guess. Nothing is all good or all bad. But there sure is a lot of crap out there to sort through in the quest for truth and knowledge. And even then you never really know if it's true or not. Almost feels like I have less information sometimes.

Believe 50% of what you read, and 25% of what you hear, and .00000000000000000000000001% of what you read online. It.is the world's greatest disinformation device ever invented so far after all.

When they showed her during the game I figured she had a new show coming up or something. That's usually the reason they show these people. This is the America we live in now where a person has to justify who they went to a football ? game with.

I like the look on the guy's face with the man bun when she's talking about black people. And I like the dude that says he trusts people that are trained regardless of race or sex and he has to educate a member of congress to this. Sad.

Not scientific but on the Bengals game last week they said he was pretty much ready but he was being cautious because he wants to come back 100% for the stretch run in his contract season. I think it's good to get a guy on his contract year because he's $uper motivated to play well and catch a lot of pa$$e$. Go for it unless the price is too high..

And Rob Johnson played for Chuckie in Tampa Bay. Rob was QB when TB broke the sub 40 jinx in a 15-0 (5 FGs) win vs Chicago.

We just need a W someway somehow and I couldn't care less how we do it.

yeah, and next year we play the AFC West, ie KC and an improved Raiders team and the Chargers and the NFC West, ie Seattle, Rams, and 49ers. This year we got a slumping AFC North and except for maybe Dallas and Philly, a bad NFC East. Timing is everything. There is no time like the present.

With that attitude you certainly won't. I disagree because you never know what tomorrow will bring. We have no idea what will happen between now and then. What if say we get it all together are going to really go for it and then in the 2nd pre season game Wonder Boy gets a season ending injury. Or what if we have a good year and Daboll and Frazier get HC jobs elsewhere and we're starting off with 2 new coordinators. Or what if Coach McDermott decides to take the HC job at Auburn? We were there at the end of 2014 thinking we pretty much had arrived only to have our HC quit the day after the season. You never have the perfect team. We got darn good team now. Let's make a run at this thing right here right now.

My spouse is from Rochester and we meet people from the area all the time. And as she talks to them numerous times it's been someone that knows a lot of the same people. There are Bills fans everywhere. It is amazing. I've met them in all part so the country and world. When we finally hit it and are really good and win playoff games etc, it will be crazy.

It's fine as it is. Just win your division. We are very much still in the division race. Don't sell ourselves short. One thing is certain. If they were to change this rule the next year we would win the division at 8-8 and have to play on the road.

I don't understand why so many TBDers have this attitude of we don't wanna do too much now because really, it's in 2021 we will be good enough to compete or whatever. Why are you so concerned about 2021? We're strong and pretty much the rest of the AFC is weak. We even almost beat the Patsies** and should have. We're ready to compete RIGHT NOW. if we can improve our chances without a big investment even if it only helps us THIS YEAR is worth it IMHO. And, if we do compete and say win a playoff game that will improve our chances of getting better FAs next year. If the rest of the AFC weren't weak and we hadn't shoulda woulda coulda beat the Patsies** I'd agree with you. You can never count on what next year brings. I remember in the late 1990s we thought we were close to being back with a dominant D only to have another team in our division come out of nowhere and dominate. The table is set. THIS is our year. Go for it. Maybe it's just me, but I'm tried of waiting til next year. Just win.

Does anyone else besides me think that on that on punt from around mid field where we had a delay of game penalty that it was on purpose? So we could move back and Bojo wouldn't clobber it out of the back of the end zone?
