Frozen rope?????
IMO, Tua has a weak arm...no where near the power of Allen’s arm.
That looked like the QB from Tampa Bay in Tecmo Bowl throwing up lollipops

Frozen rope. I don’t see how it wasn’t picked.
That was a terrible decision that turned out well.

If Bills win tonight and Dolphins lose the only way the Fins can win the division is if the Bills lose 3 straight.

Oh...is Mahomes playing himself out of MVP talk the last few weeks??

Bill under Gailey were actually very good second half offenses. Sort of the opposite of now where Josh and Daboll come out hot and get cold. Gailey and Fitz would come out cold and leave the tunnel in the 3rd pretty hot.I seem to remember for the first 4 or 5 games every year we would go crazy on offense and score a bunch of points. Then in the games after that we would do OK for the first few drives and jump out to a lead, do nothing through the 2nd and 3rd quarters and the lead would evaporate into a deficit and then Fitz would try and come back in the 4th and was usually not really successful.

Im wondering how many stalled drives until he gets yoinked again.
I have watched a little bit of Tua and he just hasn’t been good enough to me. I actually thought this game would be a route and the team needs a playoff push. Thought this would be the game that sits Tua for the rest of the season and Fitz will be starting week 17.
With how good the Miami D has been, I am unsure if they make that call now. But it’s the right team decision for 2020.
He is OK for the first few drives but then once teams figure them out they do nothing...
Kind of reminds me a lot of games here under Gailey...

Why are they punting down 18 near midfield?

KC went from down 10 to up 18, insane how Miami just completely dropped here.
They didn't really drop...KC just figured out what they were doing and made adjustments. And when they start scoring, it's hard to get them stopped.
-
Well...considering Miami is the lowest scoring 4th quarter team in the NFL this isn't looking too good.
-
Also...using advanced analytics...I would tend to bet in your example, if the ball is on the 7 yard line, the expected points would be better going for it than by kicking the FG.
I would also tend to bet that going for it and not making it, leaving the ball on the 7 yard line would not be much worse than getting 3 points and kicking off because the expected points for a team starting at the 7 is going to be much lower than the expected points for a team starting from their 25 after you kickoff post FG. So you are probably gaining 1 to 1.5 points with the worse field position so by kicking a FG there you are really only gaining 1.5 points...

This game is over. Tua doesn't have the firepower to come back.

Hard to win with 3s in the modern NFL.
Exactly...I would rather go for a TD and worry about needing a FG late in a game if I have to.

Wow...this is interesting...increasing concern inside Steeler organization about Roethlesberger's knee. Discomfort has gotten worse since the game against Dallas...

Mahomes looking flustered. He needs to take a deep breath and get it together.

Yep I repeat it over & over that the Bills need to ascert themselves on offense and always am concerned at how this coaching staff approaches games vs. top teams with top defenses in less then perfect weather.
So the forecast is fine & hope the Bills come out like they did vs.SF/Seattle.....
My biggest disappointments were their game plan vs. NE & KC, where they let the opponent and "elements" dictate their offense.
It should be the Steelers worried about containing the Bills offense and keeping them off the field, not vice-versa.
The Bills put up 27+ & they will win.
Ram it down the Steelers throats!!!!!😆
The weather will be pretty perfect other than cold. No rain or snow and winds under 10mph.

I'd rather see Dane Jackson...he flashes out there...maybe he is still making too mamy mistakes that we are not privy too but I think he has made plays while he is out there at least.

We have a park near to me that has both an elk herd and a bison herd...it is a fenced area but it is a substantial fenced area, large enough that even in winter one can drive through and not always see them. There are hiking trails, and hiking is allowed through the elk area but not the bison area.
I posted some pictures I took a while back in Off the Wall with a subject line Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo
Are you in that area? I was at my graduation at Fort Hays State University in Hays, KS

I'm glad they are kidding as this is an incredibly stupid idea. No one should take this seriously.
A buffalo (bison, actually) is a wild animal. This is no different than a circus elephant or an orca at Seaworld. A domesticated animal like a horse or cow, fine. They are bred to be around people and trainable. The stress on a bison to do this would be just cruel. I know teams have done stupid s#$t like this in the past and some college teams still likely use wild animals in cages as "mascots" (see: Mike the Tiger @ LSU). People have gotten a lot more sensible and aware of what this does to wild animals and the public outcry you'd get for doing this would be enough to stop it and make the team look like dopes.
My 2 cents.
I saw some kept in a fenced in area in Kansas as a historical location where bison used to be prevalent. It was one of those natural habitat center type things...pretty cool...I got some great pics.

When Tiger Woods appeared on the PGA scene, he instantly changed the game of golf. He could drive farther than all the others except the muscle guys who had no other game. And Woods had all the other game elements as well.
The other players looked at each other and realized they weren't in Kansas anymore, and they all figured out how to up their own games, or they quit.
I'm seeing quarterback play in the NFL at a higher level than I can remember. Where once only Rogers could make certain throws, now there's Mahomes and Allen. and sometimes Wilson. Where once only Cam Newton could run well as a big man, now there's Allen. And suddenly there are half a dozen smaller QBs who can run like only Vick used to be able to do.
There were some other players with these talents here and there through the years as well, whom I haven't mentioned, but not the flood of talent that we're seeing now.
Players like Brady and the Manning boys, who could work from the pocket and win, are going to have a tough time competing with multi-dimensional players.
I wonder whether this is a change in the talent mix that's available, or maybe the OCs and the game itself are now figuring out they need to accommodate what these guys have to offer. Greg Roman was a so-so OC in Buffalo. He got to Baltimore and became a genius. He also has Lamar Jackson, what a coincidence. Roman's genius was to let Jackson be Jackson, and not try to limit him with what Flacco could do.
There are a lot of things at play here:
1) Rules drastically favoring the offense.
2) QBs that have coordinators building offenses around their strengths instead of trying to force them into their systems which are allowing college kids in spread offenses to step in and be successful much faster than ever before.
3) College concepts that have really allowed offenses to run multiple concepts/plays and let the QB read whether to run or pass based on a key defender on each play.
4) Holding penalties down tremendously this year allowing offenses to stay ahead of the sticks. They have been getting called a little more frequently lately than in the beginning of the year but on balance there are still far fewer.

The player who was drafted the highest was John Brown............. in the 3RD ROUND.
Diggs was a 5th rounder
Beasley was undrafted
Davis was a 4th round rounder
and the 5th guy they use, McKenzie, is a former castoff of the Broncos, was a 5th rounder .
Props to these guys for making themselves part of one of the best WR groups in all the NFL. Not one of them came into the league as a blue chip guy.
Kudos to them.
Forget just the WR...the only player on the entire offense who was a first round pick is Josh Allen.

Tre is on a podcast with Kim Pegula and Maddie Glab and Kim says that Tre has been campaigning for a real buffalo to be the Bills mascot and how they looked into it and it's expensive to have the buffalo travel from Colorado and the best thing would be to raise their own...Tre says he is going to make it happen and they are going to have it right on the side of the field....dude is hilarious! So glad we have guys that are genuinely good people on this team that also know how to cut loose and have fun.

It really is. Here are the two sabres jerseys that I own. One is official and the other is from DH gate. Everyone I show them to always picks the knock off as the official one.
Nameless/numberless blue and 50th anniversary edition Eichel.
And no issues with them falling apart and/or problems with washing/fading after a few months?

So, it's bad, and it's about Allen, so it must be wrong. I see how this works. Makes total sense.
Excellent arguments, all around, on this thread. Not one person has addressed the substance, yet panties are bunched.
To be fair, I loved this comment:
Fair point. Wonder how that was graded.
Allen's been terrific. PFF acknowledges that. Playing well can sometimes be accompanied by a bad stat here or there. Remember the one about how Rodgers had about the lowest comeback percentage in world history, because he's generally got them ahead? Or Favre's high INTs?
Well I guess it depends what you want to base you opinions off of. Because if you look at the analytics from Pro-Football-Reference.com it tells a different story.
Allen is 7th best in the NFL in Bad Throw percentage at only 14.3%, and is 3rd best in the NFL in OnTarget% at 80.9%, and the 2 QB's above him, Bridgewater and Brees are both way below him in intended air yards, meaning they throw much shorter passes than Allen does in general which makes them easier to be on target with. Allen is at 8.0 IAY/Att, while Bridgewater is at 6.8 and Brees is ahead of only Alex Smith at 5.4 IAY/Att. And it is true that Roethlesberger is throwing a lot of short passes as his is barely above Bridgewater at 6.9 IAY/Att.
Playing Denver will be fun because Lock in many ways is Allen from his rookie year...Leads the NFL in IAY/Att with 9.3 but also leads the NFL in bad throw percentage at 26.0% and is dead last in OnTarget Percentage at 67.4%. In Allen's rookie year, his IAY/Att was an astounding 11.3 and bad throw percentage was 25.7%. So when we play Denver we are pretty much playing a rookie Allen clone in terms of throw types and decision making.

official or knock off?
I've gotten knock offs from here before and they usually get delivered within 2 weeks. Not sure how the holidays will impact it though.
Holy crap! I never even heard of this site...I just went and bought 4 jerseys for the price of one official one...or maybe even less. 4.5 stars out of 5 with lots of reviews. Nice find!
Got a Blue Allen jersey, a Red Diggs jersey, a White Edmunds jersey and a 100 NFL Blue Tre Jersey for like $125 with shipping...

This is typically the time when KC never gives the other team the ball back if they kick it to them.
