Possible, but wouldn't there be video at some point of someone dropping off and picking up the extra bag of balls? Interesting, that would be most efficient it seems. Could there have been a second person already waiting in the bathroom to help too? I guess in that case, there would be video of that extra person leaving at some point.

So if you get pulled over in a rental car which happens to have a pound of dope in the glovebox, are you at fault if you had no idea who put the dope in there to begin with?

Are Hoodie and Kraft clearly to blame? I don't see how anyone could blame them before looking at the guy who touches the football on every play first.

That's why it was important for Brady to not admit any role in the incident today. If he had admitted any role today, public backlash would have put the NFL in no other position than to suspend Brady for the game. His denial buys time for the league to continue their "investigation" without coming to any conclusions on who's responsible until after the game. Brady's conflicting answers and prior statements, along w his penchant for perfection and attention to detail, it's pretty unlikely that he did not know about the deflated balls, especially if other teams in the league noticed this and they don't touch the ball on every play. He just wants to play in the Super Bowl so badly that he's still in denial mode. If a guy is willing to cheat with the balls to get to the Super Bowl, why would he all of the sudden come clean a few days later without 100% evidence proving he's guilty, and jeopardize his chance of getting to play in the Super Bowl, In addition, it's in the NFL and TV Commercials interests that he plays, bc otherwise the Pats will have a rookie QB starting his first game ever on the biggest stage. Viewership would most likely suffer, which is not in their interest.

From tuck rule to deflation-gate, Walt Anderson as head referee is the common link

It's fine in my opinion. Green Bay couldn't stop Seattle from going 80 yards for the TD. Game over. That's life.

Eh, so if those reports are accurate, it's as if he was going to give her the ring, then she started to go power crazy and say this is where we're gonna live, this is how many kids were having, this is how we're going to raise them. That's when Terry realized he had to reassess the situation and Doug walked. Meanwhile, as Bills fans, we're Terry's best friend essentially looking out for his best interest at all times. Most of us think the ex GF was crazy and see that he's much happier now and want to see her life suck.

I liken the situation to a case where the girlfriend (Doug) wants a stronger commitment from her boyfriend (Terry), yet he just isn't ready to give her that ring b/c there might be that bigger better fish out there. Sensing that the bf isn't that into her, the gf thinks she has a suitor elsewhere and says she needs to move on. The BF says she can take all the jewelry he's bought for her already, and good luck. She comes to find out there's not much of a market for her and overvalued her worth, whereas the guy has already moved on and possibly found that bigger better fish already. If Terry really wanted Marrone, he would have given him that ring.

That was Doug, this is Rex

Does anyone really think Rex cares what people say in an online message board?

Who loves ya, baby!!

Well I think most Bills fans want a Super Bowl win most of all, but we have to get to the playoffs first before any of that is possible.

After reading the "story" and ensuing comments, it sounds like the so-called "reporter" is the one actually being questioned.

The part I liked about this play was the announcers and Morreira were patting the refs on the back all day, even up to the original call on this play. When the flag got picked up, they had no chance to flip flop and go with the company line then.

Plus didn't Brady bash Buffalo a few years back? Prob one of the last places he would go.

http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/reich-emerges-as-strong-candidate-to-be-bills-next-coach-20141231 Maybe this has been pointed out already, but I think Jimbo is flipping someone off in this picture!

Could you or someone else please explain to me how you know for sure that Mike Williams is still good enough to be effective in this league? Yes, he had some impressive seasons early in his career, but that doesn't mean he is necessarily still good enough to cut it. Do you think the Bills gave up on Lee Evans to soon also?

While the performance of the offense this year has been horrific often, I'd be surprised if Pegula blows it all up considering that the Bills have their best record in ten years. There have been some losses which really sting (ie Kansas City, Miami, Oakland, Denver), in which Marrone declined to go for 4th and 1s late. That's one part of Marrone's in game management which I question, but the Bills have also pulled out some of their best wins in a long time this season too. I'd say Marrone gets at least one more season as head coach, to see if he can get to 10 or more wins next year.

There's not much of a trade market for a guy w/one game left under contract, not to mention we're past trade deadlines for the season.

Could have also been worse if KC had won. Hopefully Texans can hold on, Bills take care of business and Bengals can lose. Stay positive!

+1

If Denver beats Cincy this week, which we need, the Pats will not have home-field wrapped up prior to playing us in Week 17. It will be that much sweeter to beat the Pats if it means something to them anyway.

Well they better get ready for Week 17 then!

I was confused at first too, but after reading the OP understood the general sentiment.

If the Bills are any good, it doesn't matter to me whether the other team is banged up or not. Yes, it might make our road to the playoffs easier, but it doesn't mean the Bills are any better. Also, while these teams are banged up today, some of these injuries might resolve themselves by the time we play these teams, and the Bills might have some of their own injuries to worry about by then. One game at a time!
