    Bill Belechick (Belestrator) breaking down the Bills before the wild card game - he is really good

    Hoodie said Josh pitched the ball to Knox for extra yards @ 2:47. It was actually to stop the clock as Knox had a clear path out of bounds and Josh did not.

     

    What kind of football guru is this guy?

     

    You're correct on the context, which actually makes it an even more impressive play.  Though that detail doesn't call into question whether he's football guru.  Like him or not, he clearly is.

    Sounds cool but I don't really see the correlation with Josh specifically.

     

    He's more like the leaping condor--guy is so tall and gangly the way he holds the ball out there in 1 hand...and he LOVES to jump over anything in his way.

     

     

     

    I think the connection is that he's so deadly out of structure and can still destroy defenses despite some poor play calling

     

     

    If anyone wants to say the NFL isn't rigged, please re-watch that game

    Im not sure if the criteria for which the crews are graded is public knowledge. 
     

    I do know that he is correct in that they are graded each week and the highest graded crews get playoff games.


    The teams also get to send feedback to the league regarding calls, or lack thereof, but I’m not sure how that factors in the grading if at all. 

     

     

    I am a bit surprised that there isn't some 3rd party referee grading system.  If you think of all the advanced stats that PFF, Next Gen Stats and others have developed where we know the degree of separation each WR had on each pass attempt, why hasn't some grading system on officials been developed.  This is a yearly complaint.  If we went back into TBD history, there would be threads in most years about how the refs have never been worse.  Seems like the best way to put some sunshine to this topic is to be able to track officials on penalties called (what kinds, how often, in what game circumstances), missed penalties and so forth.  It would be a popular set of stats....

    Coin Flip?

    The Bills moved the ball the best they did all game in the 4th quarter.


    And they still had the ball with the wind for 2 quarters. Just like the Patriots did.

     

    Again, the coin flip was a non factor in this game and to even insinuate it was is dumb at best and down right stupid at worst.

     

    It wasn't meaningless to Belicheck... he's LFAO the whole flight back

     

    I'm not suggesting that's solely why they lost.  All the other criticism of the team above are correct.  But coaches are supposed to give you a strategic edge, particularly at home.

    Coin Flip?

    I was away from the TV as the coin flip was happening, but heard announcers say that we deferred.  Did we in fact, win the coin flip, choose to defer so we get the 2nd half kick-off and thereby let the Patriots pick that they would play with the wind in Q2/4??I said immediately at the opening KO on my group chat what a mistake this was and that it may cost us a close game.  

     

    How on earth does McD not make a strategic adjustment in his approach to this critical decision when the whole game was about the wind??

    Beasley’s future

    I don't like his vaccination position, but I think I have to agree with @Virgil.  It seems like he wouldn't be that hard to replace, but has he says, nobody's shown they can do it.  I think we ride out the contract to the end and he goes after 2022... either retires or isn't re-signed.

    The truth is everyone saw this as an after-thought, not just the team.  Without criticizing anyone else, I'll own up to my part.  I sat there calmly watching through the 3rd quarter.  The only thing I got upset about was the penalties and that they wouldn't cover the spread, but really I expected they would win in the end. It wasn't until 5 min to go that I realized they might lose.  During Chiefs and Titans games I was on edge stressing over each play from the beginning...

    I think this statement may have led to today’s defeat

    Yeah, the arrogance of TBD has crept into the Bills locker room.

     

    Next week is a season defining game. Lose that one and start looking forward to draft day.

     

    Yeah!  How's that ridiculous post/poll about Tribusky's playing time looking now??  Never f%&$ing talk before doing!  We're lucky Lawrence didn't hurdle anyone...
