What a Tuel

So the Packers got rid of their kicker and are apparently signing Brandon McManus if that gives you any indication of the quality of free agent kickers. Brandon McManus was 30-37 (81.1%) FGA and 312/321 (97.2%) XPA in 2023. Their former kicker was Brayden Narveson who was 12-17 (70.5%) FGA and 16-16 (100%) XPA

I think they will.

Also the "uncatchable" ball that was "6 yards out of bounds" on the PI call for us. Like no, that ball was not 6 yards out of bounds if it hit the boundary Joe. On topic, it was clearly a fumble, I don't see how people are so adamant that his arm was going forward? He would've released it at the point of the extension if he actually planned to throw it, instead he pulled it back and held on. Clear fumble. Also didn't like our OPI call on Knox I think it was. Kelce does that every damn play and it infuriates me bc he never gets called.

Dudes already planning for 2025 when we are targeting 2024! There's planning ahead and then there's sacrificing now for the "whatifs" of the future.

It isnt, statistically that year he was basically the same in FG % and better in XP % than Butker which was the assertion. Now you shift to "overall" post season stats that includes his rookie season. Postseason Stats: 2020 - 7-9 FG (77%) 5-6 XP (83%) (Rookie) 2021 - 0-0 FG (NA) 9-11 XP (81%) 2022 - 3-3 FG (100%) 5-5 XP (100%) 2023 - 2-5 FG* (40%) 7-7 XP (100%) *Blocked FG Yeah he had a rough time last postseason and missed 2 field goals and 1 blocked. I dont think anyone disagrees that he needs to do better. But then the year before that he was 100% in both FG and XP in the post season. So clearly he can do it. Lets just be happy about Cooper and lay off Bass.

Eh we can go back and forth on his stats. I didnt say he was better than butker overall. I said that he was statistically as likely as butker that year to make that kick in 13 seconds.

Thats my problem. Like when does it become the players fault for not executing? I think it was johnson who fell down in front of Lazard leaving him wide open to catch the ball (with our guys on his back). Track the ball and knock it down ffs.

His percentage on FGs that year was 87.5% (28/32) and 100% for XPAs (51/51) and 2 of his 4 missed FGs that season were in the colts game where nothing was going right and we got annihilated 41-15. Butker that season was 89.3% (25/28) and 95.9% for XPAs (47-49). So in reality yeah going by stats, he probably would have made it that season too if Butker did. The constant berating him is probably not helping his confidence and we arent changing kickers so hold him accountable but maybe try building him up.

I didnt say it was good, but he can make kicks. You guys act like theres a 5% chance he will make a kick. As compared to the other top kickers, sure he is less accurate, but we are talking 1-2 kicks over 6 games. The amount of angst the fans have over this is crazy.

Seems to me he's made 9/12 FGs and 18/20 XPA - counting blocks/tips. So he can in fact make a kick.

Three game difference (Broncos and Steelers and Vikings) vs our (Chiefs, Ravens, Lions). They already lost two of them. To be fair im sure everyone has us penciled in to lose Chiefs and Lions and we already lost to the Ravens, but thats why we play the games, we will see.

2-4 but they are going to go and "probably" win 9 of next 10 or at worst 8 of next 10 😂 Meanwhile similar people are like, "I can't see the 4-2 Bills winning 6 more" 🙄

In reality is it possible that something went down with Allen's ex? Obviously just throwing crap at the wall but my goodness would it make so much sense. The abrupt breakup, the bengals game where they had no light in their eyes, the awkwardness between Diggs and Allen.

Im no cap expert but i dont think thats true. Pretty sure he had no requirement to turn salary into incentive based compensation. Yes the 7MM was converted but the 8MM was a pay cut he didnt need to take (unless he hits his incentives) Mar 06, 2024Converted $7M of 2024 salary into signing bonus & $8.645M more into incentives, freeing $8.645M of cap with Buffalo (BUF) Edit: NM I see you were talking about 2023 now.

it took one. one loss. One loss for people to jump on the "trash everything, McDermotts the problem" nonsense again lmao.

Smoot really pissed me off last night. cost us a 15 yard penalty on one play unnecessarily kneeing a guy in the face. Then on the very next play, it looks like he was trying to twist Lamar's ankle. We would be calling him dirty if that was a Raven.

This is why people get annoyed with you guys. consistently pessimistic in wins, and downright giddy in losses. I bet you couldn't wait to come on here to make comments like this.

not for this game but whatever happened to allowing alternate helmets? Hasnt it been a couple years now since the NFL started allowing it?

Don't forget the "Bills can't win close games" (circa 2022-2023) and "Bills can't put together a multi game win streak" (circa 2021) narratives. I wonder what this year's will be.

Sorry but what bugs me about the ridiculous McDermott criticism is that it is unknown to me how close we were to everything collapsing. That article last year taking a hit on him for the hijacking comments was very much like an article aiming to be first domino in the course of a firing at a low point (6-6) of our season. I am enjoying this ride and some people just wanna tear it down for the sake of the unknown super coach when McDermott has been outstanding.

if its not high school then coleman shouldnt be late. Accountability is critical.

detaining bc the stopped individual is being erratic, agitated, argumentative, and not obeying lawful commands is actually what the cop is supposed to do. That doesn't mean under arrest. It means for the officer safety and the individuals safety, the officer is detaining you so they can safely proceed with their investigation. Because people who exhibit these types of behaviors correlate much more often with unlawful behavior than people who say "damn I was speeding wasnt I" and proceed normally. I've said it before but there are a ton of videos out there in which police chases start exactly like this type of erratic behavior and the suspect randomly drives off, so at that point detaining for identification and to conclude the investigation was appropriate. It just turns out the erratic behavior was due to tyreek hill being tyreek hill and his lack of impulse control. I mean isn't this the same guy that assaulted someone because they told him to get off THEIR boat? We will see if the department has the guts to defend its officer.

Sunken cost fallacy. Once a player has done something they dislike whether it be get injured, off field issues, or high salary they invest a lot of animosity towards that player. When that player ends up doing well, they cant just lose that large investment of hate, so they double down and are blinded to the upside of the player. People do it with positivity on players too, but at least that is more fun and rooting for your team than the constant negativity.

Absolutely, unequivocally, 100% wrong. The police officer is not responsible for your actions. Hill had it entirely in his control to make this traffic stop go smoothly. There is not a doubt in my mind that it would have if he didn't act the way he did.
