What a difference the new training facility/sports science has been for the Bills. Years ago, it seems the Bills lead the league every year with the amount of players on IR. For the most part this season, the Bills have been healthy and the injuries are less severe.

It’s not like Garrett slammed Rudolph hard to the turf. In the first picture I posted, you can clearly see Garrett took down Rudolph and had Rudolph’s weight on top of Garrett. Also from looking from that vantage point, I don’t think Garrett knew Rudolph hard thrown the ball. Rudolph snapped, went after Garrett when he tried to rip Garrett’s helmet off. It’s one thing to shove a player for a late hit, cuss him out and get in his face, but Rudolph took it to another level by trying to rip Garrett’s helmet off. Then continued to go after Garrett once Garrett turned the tide and ripped Rudolph’s helmet off. Once Rudolph got nailed in the head with the helmet, then he finally backed off and played the victim. He goes from aggressor to victim all in less than 30 seconds. Again, I’m not condoning what Garrett did as his punishment should be harsh. With the NFL being all about player safety, with no helmet to helmet hits, blows to the head and face, concussions etc..., Rudolph should get fined for his actions.

Here's what I originally wrote on page 3 "Rudolph got butt hurt over the way Garrett took him to the ground, then had a hissy-fit and started attacking Garrett by yanking on his helmet numerous times, which led to Garrett getting up and doing the same thing back to him. Garrett had two Steelers players in his face with Rudolph continuing to charge at Garrett. I'm not a fan of either team, but after watching the scenario play out, Rudolph started the confrontation, wouldn't give it up, Garrett was getting ganged up on by two Steelers players, then did a very stupid, inexcusable act of nailing Rudolph in the head with Rudolph's helmet, by which he deserved the beating he got from Pouncey and Ogunjobi. Garrett deserves a lengthy suspension, big fine and should have criminal charges brought against him, but Rudolph shouldn't get away "Scott-free" either."

You’re also just jumping in and commenting on a very small part of a conversation and basing your judgment off of that, which is lazy and ignorant.

A little late to the conversation I see. Go back and read my previous posts about what I said about Garrett and the punishment he should receive.

My apologies, I should have said starting at 1:43. The first pic is at 1:46, Garrett is on the bottom with his hands wrapped around Rudolph’s back with Rudolph’s body clearly on top of Garrett’s (minus Rudolph’s head and right wrist). The second is at 1:48, both players on are their sides, but Rudolph is up higher. Rudolph’s hand is on the back of Garrett’s helmet and Garrett’s arms are out of sight in the picture. The third is at 1:49, Rudolph has Garrett’s helmet partially pulled off with his hand on the back of Garrett’s helmet. Garrett’s right hand appears to be under Rudolph’s legs/butt area.

Maybe you should make an optometrist appointment

As I said before, I'm not a fan of either team, so I have no favoritism either way. I'm not sure what you've saw, but I clearly stated what I saw and exactly where on the video. Have a nice day!

Maybe you're looking at different footage. The footage I saw with the best view is at 1:43 Garrett took Rudolph down and actually was on his back, so Rudolph was on top of Garrett at that moment when Rudolph started yanking Garrett's helmet off. It happened very quick, but as I said before, it was a late hit, not a dirty hit, Rudolph snapped and escalated the situation when he first made several attempts to rip Garrett's helmet off.

Disagree. Garrett's hit was late, but it wasn't dirty. It's one thing to push a player, get in his face and cuss him out for a late hit, but the way Rudolph snapped, went after Garrett by trying to forcibly rip Garrett's helmet off was inexcusable. With the NFL trying to make the game safer with no helmet-to-helmet hits, blows to the head and face, concussions etc..., players that try to do what Rudolph did should be reprimanded, whether fined, suspended or both.

Nope. As I said before, I'm not a fan of either team and I looked at the entire footage objectively. Maybe hissy fit wasn't the correct team, a more correct term would be "snapped." Rudolph acted like Garrett slammed him hard causing his head to bounce off into the turf, then started attacking Garrett by trying several times to rip his helmet off. By looking at the film and by where Garrett's body was when tackled Rudolph, It's very difficult to tell if Garrett could see if Rudolph still had the ball or not. Also, with that little time left in the game, being down 14 points and no conceivable way of coming back to tie the game, why was Tomlin calling pass plays to begin with? Also, have we've ever seen Fitz attack a player the way Rudolph went after Garrett...nope! Very poor comparison!

Rudolph got butt hurt over the way Garrett took him to the ground, then had a hissy-fit and started attacking Garrett by yanking on his helmet numerous times, which led to Garrett getting up and doing the same thing back to him. Garrett had two Steelers players in his face with Rudolph continuing to charge at Garrett. I'm not a fan of either team, but after watching the scenario play out, Rudolph started the confrontation, wouldn't give it up, Garrett was getting ganged up on by two Steelers players, then did a very stupid, inexcusable act of nailing Rudolph in the head with Rudolph's helmet, by which he deserved the beating he got from Pouncey and Ogunjobi. Garrett deserves a lengthy suspension, big fine and should have criminal charges brought against him, but Rudolph shouldn't get away "Scott-free" either. But hey, see it however you want to see it.

First off, it's not like Garrett slammed Rudolph to the ground and Rudolph's head bounced off the turf. Was it a late hit, absolutely, but Rudolph overreacted. Second, with how the NFL preaches Player Safety, no helmet-to-helmet hits, worried about concussions, etc..., it would make sense for the NFL to fine and/or suspend players that go after another players head/neck with trying to rip off a helmet.

That's your opinion. Rudolph got butt hurt over the way Garrett took him to the ground, then had a hissy-fit and started attacking Garrett by yanking on his helmet numerous times, which led to Garrett getting up and doing the same thing back to him. Garrett had two Steelers players in his face with Rudolph continuing to charge at Garrett. I'm not a fan of either team, but after watching the scenario play out, Rudolph started the confrontation, wouldn't give it up, Garrett was getting ganged up on by two Steelers players, then did a very stupid, inexcusable act of nailing Rudolph in the head with Rudolph's helmet, by which he deserved the beating he got from Pouncey and Ogunjobi. Garrett deserves a lengthy suspension, big fine and should have criminal charges brought against him, but Rudolph shouldn't get away "Scott-free" either.

Disagree, Rudolph tried ripping Garrett's head off which led to the brawl. He should have been ejected and at minimum fined.

I disagree with that. As T master stated above "Allen's lack of experience & Dabol's knee jerk reactions at times to abandon certain things like the run game against the Browns & not utilizing Allen's athleticism with in the scheme has hurt this offense." Also, outside of Brown and Beasley, the rest of the receivers are barely having any kind of impact, whether that's getting separation from the defenders, dropping balls, etc... Even the top three receivers on the team have had their share of drops as well [Brown, Beasley, Knox] so it's not all on Allen.

Agree 100% Especially on having Allen roll out more, bootlegs, etc... I think after all the interceptions had earlier on this season, especially in the NE game, Allen is worried about throwing more INT's, which is why he's been overthrowing the ball trying to make sure if the Bills receiver is not able to catch it, neither will the opposing defense.

Going into the season, it seemed (on paper)that the Bills had four good WR’s in Brown, Beasley, Zay Jones and Foster. Jones was shipped out to Oakland due to his poor play and Foster has been invisible this season (except for his catch last week). So far, the only receivers producing consistently are Brown and Beasley as McKenzie, Roberts and Foster have been used as Gadget/situational awareness and have had minimal impact (along with a good share of drops). If Jones and Foster has been producing this year for the Bills as they did last year (Fosters second half of the season last year to be precise), how much more effective would the offense be? While I haven’t been impressed with Daboll’s play calling this season, I would tend to believe if the Bills offseason plan had worked out to fruition with having four good WR’s, the offense would be scoring more points and have longer time of possession. Should the Bills give Daboll another season, assuming the Bills make more upgrades to the WR group in the offseason?

Absolutely disgusting, Garrett should be banned from the league! Glad to see the Steelers throw a beating on that POS!

Did things start to “click” for the Browns starting against the Bills?

I’d like to know who the reporter was at the 7:55 mark. He was very vague with his questions and you could tell McDermott was getting frustrated with him as he started giving the reporter short answers, then cut the conference short.

Brown has been a great addition to the Bills, without a doubt. I'd like to see the Bills in the offseason upgrade the talent at WR and let go of those gadget/situational guys. Is Duke Williams still injured or has he been a healthy scratch for the past two weeks? Be nice to see what he can do the rest of the season.

Agreed. McDermott uses too much "Coach Speak." I do respect that McDermott does not throw his players and coaches under the bus (so to speak).

https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2019/11/13/20963118/sean-mcdermott-beginning-to-show-frustration-with-questions-about-buffalo-bills-offense-josh-allen I think Coach McDermott got tired of the idiotic questions coming from reporters about the offense and he finally had enough and left the press conference early. The last dumb question(starting at 08:11) got McD irked. https://13wham.com/buffalo-plus/buffalo-plus-videos/raw-sean-mcdermott-news-conference-on-wed-november-13-2019

It's a shame. It seems the Bills greatest moments are too few and far between. Hopefully with the Pegula's owning the team, we'll see great moments much more often.
