Now that is funny, I have not seen this before .... but pretty much how we all felt on that play. This is it, it shows everything about what makes him a leader: toughness, not willing to quit, fight, do whatever it takes attitude, his energy, etc.

And this went off the rails quite quickly ?

good article, thanks Lurker . . . . and I love your byline: "Celebrating the tail of the Bell Curve since 1996!"

yeah, Bill looking smarter than the rest of the room again

Houston's low because they have given up so many points.

Think about this and put it in perspective. Remarkable! One of the most competitive teams in the NFL over the past 13 months--24 games.

It surprises me when I see Gore has almost 600 yards. He could reach 700 for the season, that's productive for any number 2 guy.

Hahaha, I forgot about this epic moment in the Danny O. career. Nonetheless, he does a decent job analyzing things from a QB perspective.

My guess: Vincent Taylor and Kroft ??? I for 2, batting 500. How can Johnson get it with two snaps? But I have been wondering where he went. Good to see him back in the game.

It's all for TV folks, to give them something to talk about and hopefully rile you up enough to react ..... resist this evil force! Don't do it! Just walk away!

The Patriots are diminished, so even with a Bills win the national narrative will be more about their demise and the "is Brady done?" question. We just need to expect and accept that, and honestly, they have earned that attention. The question of their dynasty must be asked and evaluated when they lose Saturday. Regardless, while it won't get as much press nationally, the story in this end of the world will be the changing of the guard at the top. The Pats may still win the division, but I believe a dominate Bills win signals the end to the AFC East as we have known it for the past 20 years. I think that is about to happen Saturday evening.

Oh yes! That scene in our long national nightmare is all coming back to me now. Poor Jeff Tuel [for those that don't know, he was Peterman before there was a Peterman--but the P-man took it to an entirely different level], we were beating the Chiefs and about to add to the lead (they were one of the top teams that year, we were still very alive for a playoff spot), Tuel has to start, is managing the game, he's is doing well, we lead at the half, late in the 3rd an we're driving to inside the 5 yard line, we're about to score and add to the lead, and then he throws a horrendous interception that is returned 99 yards for a TD. Game over, season over--all in 10 seconds.

Honestly, it was about as close as it could be. I slowed it down to frame by frame, and he does move before the ball is snapped, but does not go across the imaginary (and I think that is the key word here) line. I can see why it was called---because of the movement, the video evidence does show he moved before the ball is snapped. And I can see the argument he was not off sides. It is a 50/50 call, this time not in our favor. If it was an opponent that did this, I would easily agree with the call. As a Bills fan, I see it through different lenses. Regardless, he is quick, having a great year, the Bills need to resign him.

This! On that play if he uses his arms and actually tries to tackle him, he would at least slow him down until help came. Levi is not big enough to just throw himself into someone. It is maddening to watch.

People want to see good stories, which the Bills are.

The official can’t judge intent, if a player takes a haymaker like Watt did, and it missed the ball (as it did) and hits the player, it should be a personal foul at least, and even ejection because of the nature of the infraction. Again, they can’t judge intent, but they can judge the result, which was a pretty violent punch to the chest.

In the words and tears of T.O., “That’s my quarterback.” ??

Are officials suppose to judge intent?

Mods: Block him! Clearly Easterner works at PFF.

Phillips deserves a big raise. I do hope we resign him. If he ends up somewhere else we will all be disappointed.

To quote the awesome Shaq Lawson: “Duck, Duck, GOOSE!” I like Taylor, he got game action tonight because of Liguet’s injury. I hope they give him more opportunity

the best sports quote of all time!

Another thought, the league leading sackers only had one tonight (and he should have thrown that away). And, over 130 yards on the ground. The OLINE deserves a mention in the GAME BALL thread!

He knew it was a big night, Divine intervention is always welcomed.

Perfect! Shopping done!
