How exactly has "the momentum myth" been thoroughly debunked? i've been watching football a long time and have seen momentum shift in games many many many times. A couple of examples for our own Bills. In 2013, Bills vs Bengals. Bills get 4th and 1 down on the Bengals 1 just before the 1/2. Thaddeus Lewis at QB. Bills go for it and get stuffed. Fired up Bengals drive 99 yards for the TD. We end up losing. In a playoff game vs the Titans, Bills QB fumbles football out of back of EZ for a safety. Titans fans and players are super fired up and take the kick and score a TD. Thier ONLY TD of the game. Analytics and stats work much better in baseball because it's one on one, batter vs pitcher. In football there it's 11 on 11 and the players change frequently. So, I disagree with your assertion that momentum is a myth. Can you point to any evidence supporting your theory? My opinion is that momentum is viewed as unimportant is made by people with thier head up thier stat sheet. Emotions and momentum are super important in football IMHO.

No. See my comment about shifting momentum. The emotional part and momentum are huge in football. They don't call it the Big Mo for nothing.

No.

Take the points. our defense was playing well, it's the first quarter, our offense appears to be working pretty well since we were able to get down there. If we don't get it its a major let down for our offense and nothing fires a team up like a goal line stand. It's the most macho play in football. A sure fire momentum shifter. Good call Rex. I was at the game and everyone wanted to go for it. When Chandler and Schmidt ran on the field I stood up and cheered. TAKE THE POINTS. Good call Rex.

Maybe we just need a coach that can suit the offense to Hotrod's skills and limitations? Sort of like Mike McCoy did for Tebow. Or like what Derek Bevell did for Russell Wilson in his rookie year.

Onerous regulation and interference will only make the price higher. This will only help the black market to continue to thrive. To my way of thinking that's one of the advantages of legalization. Take the criminal element out. This seems backwards. Maybe they should have state stores like some states do for alcohol? Washington State did until a couple of years ago. Pennsylvania had them too. Not sure if they still do.

Yeah, Let's make it more like professional wrestling.

All I saw today was then last few plays of the last drive. As rOOt says he made several horrible crunch time bad passes. We already have a QB that can do that. Not worth it.

Perhaps, but actually I think it was because Rex watched the Super Bowl with Terry and Kim. Rex turned on the charm and schmoozinator and snowed the rookie owners and they were hooked. Think about it, Rex would be a fun guy to watch the Super Bowl with. Someone like Doug Martine perhaps? If we were to be looking for a coach, and Kim and Terry like you, want an up and coming college coach, how about Jim Mora Jr. He has NFL coaching experience/success. He has gotten UCLA from dog meat to a really good team. He gets great play from his QBs. Michael Vick, Hundley, and Rosen.

Because he's a Republican

I forgot Fitz and TO. Of course we also have a new addition in Robert Woods on the current roster.

^^^^^^^This I'm glad we got Jones. But I don't want him anywhere near the field this year. He's under contract. He's not going anywhere. We've thrown a lot of QBs out there to see what they can do (Trent, JP, EJ) and the common denominator is they all failed. Leave Jones on the pine to learn. He can get some practice by running the scout team. If we want Jones to succeed, don't rush him IMHO

My personal favorite TBD whipping boy of all times remains Chris Kelsey. We have several now. EJ, Gilmore, and new this year, Hotrod.

Some of y'all are making this too complicated. Coach Moron followed Woody Allen and Steve Miller's advice, Take the Money and Run.

Great, so when we win all of y'all will say it doesn't count, just like the last time we beat them.

Great, now how is he supposed to tackle anybody?

Turk and Dick both got fired in the same season (2009).

Please explain how these were gifts? I could sort of see "New Englang" since Tommy didn't play. As far as the others: Detroit - 3 missed FGs gifting us 9 points? Actually we gifted them 10. Kyle's 1st pass was a gift pick six into the DBs bread basket on our own 30 and Carpenter missed a fg as well. The comeback Kyle led was amazing. Still waiting for Hotrod to so something like that even though he's had multiple opportunities. Chicago - I have no idea how that was a gift. Please help me. Green Bay - Come on man. Our D whipped they're offense badly. Our running game and FGs in the 2nd half controlled the game. Causing a safety to ice the game is luck? I'm surprised your not counting the Minnesota game too since it was a miraculous comeback as well.

Right, because a guy that won 2 conference championships with 2 different teams is someone we should not be interested in should we fire Rex and John becomes available. Got it.

If John Fox gets fired and we fire Rex, we should hire John.

The videos on the Buffalo Rumblings highlighted my Hotrod pet peeve. He doesn't step INTO the pocket. He drops back, stands there, and then when the Defensive Ends come around, he tries to run around them often getting sacked. I see him do this a lot when there is a clean pocket to step into. I figured this is what he would be working on in the off season, but evidently not.

I disagree. I think Touchdown Mike is better than that. When I think of dime a dozen backs, I think of guys like Boom Heron or Johnnie White. Those guys never have or ever will in their wildest dreams run 50+ once much less twice in 5 games.

I could even see the Bills being looked past on Sunday ...

LOL Actually it was reminiscent of EJ's. TD drive vs Colts when he was a rookie. Hotrod has played well for whole games. Preseason. Criminy Louise. Some of y'all act like this is your first rodeo.
