If anyone locates a clip of this, please share. I'd like to hear the analysis.

I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Nowhere in this thread did I see him state that his opinions are facts. Again, the PPP forum exists for a reason, keep the political BS there.

Why don't we leave the political opinions in the PPP forum next time, ok?

Seems to me that the head of officiating should know the rule book forward and backward. If he actually knew the rule book that he is the number one guy in charge of enforcing, he would have known that a player in contact with a player out of bounds is, himself, out of bounds, and would have overturned INT #3. That makes it a three point game, the Bills take the field goal on 4th & Goal at the one to tie it at 13, and we potentially have a different outcome. Things could have ended very differently if we were just trying to get into position for a game-winning field goal on the last possession.

Saying that Josh Allen is at fault for being the victim of an illegal hit because he was running is like saying a woman is at fault for being the victim of sexual assault because she was wearing a skirt. Josh Allen was doing something completely normal and legal, and was hit in an illegal manner. The only person who needs to adjust his game is the defender who committed the illegal hit.

My issue is with the fact that the hit was completely unnecessary. Allen was wrapped up, with his arms held to his sides, clearly on his way down to the playing surface. The player flew in full speed, head first, into Allen's brain housing group, when there was zero chance he was going to escape from the player tackling him and gain more yardage. Some of the hits that enrage me the most are the Donte Whitner/Kiko Alonso-esque flying in at the end of the play when the ballcarrier is all but on the ground. It is completely unnecessary and doesn't belong in the game. That hit and the bad call (even after review) on the third interception very well may have changed the outcome of the game, and that is when I have a problem with poor officiating and cheap shots. If that interception gets called incomplete, as it should have, take three points off the board for the patriots*, then we probably kick the field goal to tie it at 134 instead of going for it on 4th down at the goal line. Then all we would have needed for the win on the last drive was a field goal, and I'm much more confident in Allen putting us in that position than I am Barkley (with zero reps all week and having sat 3/4 of the game).

Hilarious!

My prediction...

As would this guy in MA.

"F*****g fascist!"

Win the whole *expletive deleted*ing thing.

"Hey, Dawson, what's the capital of Thailand?" "What? I don't know, coach." "Bangkok!"

In light of recent events, I'm taking the under...

Wonder if the Patriots put a take-backsies clause in the trade...

I don't do DFS, but yeah, I wouldn't start any of them yet (well, maybe Allen as flex in a superflex league). I crushed my draft, so I was able to take a couple of fliers to stash for later. My roster: Starters: QB1 - Ben Roethlisberger WR1 - DeAndre Hopkins WR2 - Mike Evans RB1 - Dalvin Cook RB2 - Leonard Fournette TE1 - Hunter Henry W/R/T - Dede Westbrook (WR3) K - Adam Vinatieri DEF/ST1 - Ravens Bench: QB2 - Josh Allen WR4 - Corey Davis RB3 - Kenyan Drake RB4 - Devin Singletary TE2 - Greg Olsen DEF/ST2 - Bills This week I'm projected for about a 30 point margin of victory.

In my season long PPR league I have two Bills players (and the D). I have Singletary stashed on my bench as RB4, waiting to see how the carries shake out or to use as a bye week sub or flex player. I expect his load to grow fairly quickly as the season progresses. I have Allen as my QB2, because his running game can score big points if he cuts it loose. Sixty rushing yards and a rushing TD is the same number of points as 300 passing yards, and then whatever he does with his arm is gravy. I have the Buffalo defense sitting behind Baltimore right now because they have the potential to be great this season, but I want to see it first.

Never played DFS, but if PPR I definitely take Beasley over Brown.

I definitely won't be able to swing this weekend. The wife has me booked solid for pretty much the entire weekend besides Sunday from 1-4:30.

Where in New England are you? There are actually two Bills bars in Boston, both encroaching on Boston Sports meccas. The Harp on Causeway, right across the street from TD Garden gets the biggest crowd, has great theme weeks (beef on deck, mighty taco, etc.), the bar brings in blue on draft during the season, and there is a DJ to blast the shout song with each score. The other is Bleacher Bar, which is actually inside of the center field wall at Fenway, there are windows at ground level right on the playing field. More low key, but as soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted by a framed Jim Kelly jersey on the wall. Yeah, I haven't been down there in a couple seasons, ever since I moved up near the NH state line and got Sunday Ticket. The travel in and the amount of money I spend is a bit of a deterrent. I hope to make it down there for a game this year. Let me know if and when you'll be there and I'll try to make it. I'm always happy to hang with a fellow TBDer.
