I'm going to take the refs side on this. There are 22 players on the field for every play x 100+ plays a game x 17 weeks of games. Of course bad calls are going to be made(even with replay in place). Would full-time officials help? Yes Would another 2 or 3 officials per game help? Yes Would simplifying the rules help(especially in regards to what is a catch)? Yes Would modification to replay help? Yes Will mistakes still be made? Absolutely. It's not an exact science.

Equally bad 3 play sequence...the last 3 offensive plays the Bills ran prior to games end.

Yes it was a BAD call. It also should not have led to the game winning score. They were playing one of the WORST teams in the NFL at a neutral site and should have put the game away long before this penalty occurred. You know what the difference was? - TURNOVERS - BAD QB PLAY - PENALTIES...AGAIN! - INABILITY OF THE DEFENSE TO STOP A HORRIBLE OFFENSE WITH THE GAME ON THE LINE AFTER FIGHTING BACK FROM A 24 POINT DEFICIT.

If Cassel plays decently, what does that say for all the posters who referred to him as "meh", and thought Manuel was the better option?

Good news...Bills down by 24 points but have ONLY committed 2 penalties

You mean like how the Pegula led Sabres fired Ted Nolan after one and a half seasons, yet somehow were able to hire a Stanley Cup winning coach...Dan Bylsma?

At least two posters have come to the conclusion that many of the late flags were a direct result of players "begging" for a call. I'd love to see some proof of this. More likely what fans are seeing is a ref who for whatever reason doesn't get the flag out of his pocket quickly....and therefore assumes it is a "late" flag. That being said, believe what you may.

What does that solve? Isn't Rex the one calling the plays on defense?

I agree and take it one step further. Even if you gesture with your hands outstretched as in "where is the flag", you also get flagged.

Watkins in a walking boot = it would be a miracle for him to play in a game 6 days from now

Square peg...round hole. Rex needs to figure out a way to maximize the skills of the players handed to him. If he refuses to do that, than either Whaley or Rex should go. Your GM and HC need to be working in harmony.

So as one of your two key DT's goes off with an injury, the other one walks off with him. Not even sure when he came back in because most of the time he is invisible.

...now it's 3 out of 4. 98 points against in the 3 losses. So much for being one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Is this... 1 - Time from snap to throw or 2 - Time from completed drop back to throw

Teams that want to challenge for the playoffs don't lose 2 of their first 3 at home. 60,000 suckers bought this sales job.

I was being sarcastic.

Would Fred's leadership prevent the dozens of penalties to date?

What happened to Rex learning from his mistakes because this will probably be his last chance?

ROI on the DL right now is really low. Really sucks low!

I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up. Saw it posted over on our sister sabres board... http://www.trendingbuffalo.com/sports/buffalo-bills/new-evidence-reveals-likely-downtown-stadium-location/

Pretty embarrassing when John Murphy who is an employee of the bills has to report details of the trade via a forth worth newspaper reporter.

I didn't like the contract when it was signed. I don't think Dareus is enough of an impact player to warrant this kind of a cap hit. Combine that wth his off the field troubles and I believe the Bills will regret this commitment. If he ends up 1st team all pro year after year(which is what the expectations should be considering the salary), I will say I was wrong.

Consider how players act during the game(after a play is made), and then tell me why you would be surprised by this rumor. Regardless of what college they attended, most are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

What difference does it make. Ryan is here and Schwartz is gone.

My point is there is no way a guy with his quickness should be sacked 8 times. NFW!
