Well, Belichick likes to shut down his opponents #1 receiver so it might not be Samy's game next week either. But whoever he chooses to shut down, there will be plenty of other playmakers to give it to

Its going to be a looooong week

Especially compared to Winston right now.

I loved how Tyrod kept the drive going after the many holding calls. A penalty has usually meant the end of a drive for us recently, but not today

Anyone know the how many run and pass plays we had? It looked like the Indy guy was blocked into Schmidt, which would mean no flag

He has us beating the Giants 20-19. That can't just be a coincidence....

What a throw

No argument, Rob Johnson

I dont see why its such a big deal if they've done it before. Social media can blow anything out of proportion

If we made it as a 7th seed, I'd bet my bottom dollar that there will be a 20+ page thread started by some Debbie-Downer saying how the Bills suck because of X, Y, and Z and don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Not too many people want to talk about the Bills in Southwest Florida; when Sam Watkins (don't know when he started to go by Sammy, probably some college thing) dated my friends sister, he would say something to me about the Bills, usually something like "that JP Lose-man screwed us again." Other than that, my math teacher likes talking trash when a Bills v. Dolphins game comes around and my economics teacher likes saying something about wide right to if we get around to talking football (he's a Giants fan). Surprisingly, more people like to talk about the Sabres, too bad its usually some smart ass "sorry you're a Sabres fan" comment though

Not many rookies at any position do, but you have to get TEs from somewhere.

The Bills @ Eagles this season has MNF potential after this trade.

McCoy is going to be one sexy MOFO in a Bills' uniform

The Brady and the Pats' offensive play calling is equivalent to that prick on Madden who calls the same 3 plays over and over and then gets pissed off when he throws a stupid pass.

isn't it? What makes PNC Park is the view so unless they jazz up the skyway or get some fancy new buildings for the Buffalo Skyline it'll be tough to come close. Too bad the falls is out, because that would have been a beauty of a stadium/view combo.

wasn't he horrendous in one the preseason games this year?

cuz tails never fails, duhhhh

As a fan to coach, no. As a person to person, of course, he lost a job he probably loved doing

Feel the same way about baseball, soccer, and basketball! The low score builds suspense at the end and just makes it that much more exciting when someone does eventually score.

I personally would love to see something like what they've done in Pittsburgh, they have the some of the most beautiful stadiums with great lookouts there for their baseball and football teams, the atmosphere was electric before the Pirates game (the few times I've been downtown, it's been pretty dead and quiet, other than when it was the Taste of Buffalo) and I just liked how they have Heinz Field and PNC Park close to each other. Over all it was very aesthetically pleasing. I would prefer a stadium because they look better, especially in a city, but I doubt they build one, it's just way more practical to build a dome and there are lots of cool things you could do inside of it. But, in the end, just build something that isn't a gigantic eyesore for the city.

The only thing that makes it boring is the commercial after it. Plus, later in the year, the ball doesn't travel as far in the cold, which leads to more returns and exciting plays. And there have been Bills games where we have gotten hard hit on the returner inside the 15 and the defense gets pumped and forces a 3 and out or a turnover, or where we get a decent return and actually managed to get into field goal range! The kick return can honestly be a real tone setter for a drive and i would sorely miss it and the little momentum swings it offers.

First off, I think the rule for scoring a touchdown is pretty clear cut, if the nose of the ball breaks the plane, it's a touchdown. Pretty easy to call and review with the cameras on the goal line unless its a big pile up with the runner somewhere in there. BUT, I can see how this can be a pet peeve, it's just wayyyyy to easy to score from inside the 1, so many high percentage things you can do from a dive up the middle to an easy outside-inside slant for the receivers. How do you feel about receivers making tip-toe catches in the back of the endzone or when the player is going out of bounds but he reaches the ball all the way across the goal line before he goes out, kind of like what Sammy Watkins did Week 2 against the Dolphins? Are they in the endzone long enough for it to count as a touchdown or is enough of the ball across the goal line? It kind of sounds like you want it like Rugby, where the player actually has to touch the ball down to the ground for the points to count. I think there's a reason why the founders of American Football changed that rule to just breaking the plane.

2) Don't think they should make that change. The team that has gotten a touchdown has always had a Point after Try, dating all the way back to the beginning of rugby. And if the rule is changed and you make it like any other play, what happens if the defense returns it all the way back after a turnover, is it two points? is it seven? do they get a PAT? who kicks the ball and who receives? What if the defense doesn't return it all the way back? is there still a kickoff or does the offense take over where the defender was tackled? What happens if there's a blocked Point After kick or the team doesn't convert their try? Just let the team that just marched all the down the field a free chance at points. And it isn't the only play one team can score, what about muffed punts and onside kick attempts? If you change one, there's going to be arguing for changing the others.

Whoooaaaa, I think we find the line guys.
