It's true. Contrary to popular TBD belief the season is not over. We have long odds and need help. But, we ARE still alive. Look it up.

Thanks for your well written response. I'm still going to disagree with you though. You win with great players, not more pretty good players. At the time we had a whole team of pretty good guys or worse. We tried that strategy through the Jauron and Gailey years with no success. Sammy with his elite skills has had a definite impact on the bottom line (Wins) that a lesser player simply couldn't do. The Minnesota game last year immediately comes to mind. I believe it to have been a good trade that has payed off for us. True, we might have taken Eric Ebron as projected and another so-so player in 2015. So in terms of quantity we would been ahead, but perhaps not in quality. I like our approach now of trying to get some horses we can hang our hat on like Sammy, LeSean, and Clay.

Any coach/GM/player who even thinKs about tanking while his team still has a chance to make playoffs (like we do) no matter how long of a shot it is, should be **** canned on the spot IMHO.

So what do we do? Not try to get good players because we don't have a golden armed "franchise QB"? Then we'll still suck. take a look at the San Diego Chargers. I loved the Sammy move because we DIDN'T have a good QB. Get someone who can catch footballs that aren't perfectly thrown to compensate for our bad football throwing QBs. made perfect sense to me and still does. Sammy was right. He needs 10 targets a game.

Which 2 games? Tennessee I take it and what other game?

We still have a chance to make the playoffs and it's too late now. If we don't win another game the best we can do is around 10 or so. Why bother?

Defenders can now be called offsides if they lean into the neutral zone without making contact before the football is snapped IF any offensive lineman stands up and points at him. How is it the same?

The old rule was that it was offsides if the defender made contact or was across the line when the football is snapped. Much better and easy to tell who was at fault without a 45 second ref huddle. Is there a difference between encroachment, offsides, and a neutral zone violation? or do refs just get to make up their own names for penalties?

None. You "deserve" to make the playoffs when you win enough games to get in. This year's team (contrary to TBD logic) still does have a chance to make it. Go BILLS!

I read this on TBD over and over and over. Last year the Bills were 5th in penalties while the Jets were 17th. In fact, we've been in the top 10 the last 3 years. Did y'all already forget the plethora of drve killing offensive holding calls last year?

Right, because Aaron showed a lot of leadership in the first Patsies** game.

This is how football works. Did you just notice that?

While Odell has had a great start and maybe looks better than Sammy, I wonder if Sammy had Eli throwing him the football the last 2 years and Odell had EJ and Hotrod not throwing him the football all that much if we'd think Sammy was better?

Fred was the team leader, but Rex wanted his main man Hotrod to be the leader, so Fred had to go is the way I see it.

This year we lead the league in penalties. In 2014 we were 5th. In 2013 we were 9th. 2012 15th. Trending down for sure, but it's been a problem for a while now spanning 3 coaching regimes.

But Kyle did. And thats why we had a winning season. And if you want to take away the Patsies** win last year, we still must win 2 out of the last 3 to match it. Not as given.

I know there is a lot of talk about looking at the catch rule. I think this needs to be looked at as well. What is a pick and what is not? Looks like a lot of teams are running it a lot with very inconsistent calls.

Really machine gun. However, I don't see what Eric Wood has to do with Karlos' plethora of injuries.

He's still injury riddled even if he doesn't have a conclusion. Seriously, the dude misses momre time than CJ.

Not too far fetched. He had a concussion at FSU and another a few weeks ago.

Good, I'm sure they will make it much more complicated than it already is. With the NFL's love of high scoring and offense I'm a little perplexed as to why they current rule is so restrictive. You'd think they'd want more catches and especially TD catches.

Herm and I disagree as to the first part. As to the second part, yes. Actually I never turn it on because it's a total time suck and I really don't care what famous people are saying anyway.

Or, a player could shut down his social media BS during the season like Hotrod did. You know, concentrate on football. Leave the other BS to the Kim Kardashian and Snoop Dog types.

I think jocks are really good at this. Aaron Rodgers has a chip on his shoulder because he was picked late in the 1st round. McCoy because he was traded. On and on. Jocks like to have something that they can use to fire them up. If there's nothing legit like a division opponent that knocked them out of the playoffs or something, they always have stuff like this.

Just for the record, this is what he said "He wants the full control. You see how fast he got rid of all the good players. Especially all the good black players. He got rid of them the fastest. That's the truth. There's a reason. ... It's hard to explain with him. But there's a reason he got rid of all the black players -- the good ones -- like that." http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12827934/buffalo-bills-running-back-lesean-mccoy-discusses-race-chip-kelly-rex-ryan
