...and if he is ruled short New England doesn’t get points on that drive. You can’t use results from later in the game to justify the move at the time. The situation dictates your decision. Also, that runoff rule needs to change. Would they have gotten another play off? Probably not, but if the refs rule it a TD and then change their mind the Bills shouldn’t be penalized. It is much, much worse if it’s at like the 2 because a team COULD conceivably get another snap off. It happened earlier this year but don’t remember the game. I don’t know the answer but it’s something other than what it is now.

I think it’s an interesting topic. A lot of guys have started that way and loosened as time went on. I think that will happen more as McDermott grows more comfortable with Josh and himself. We need to be more aggressive with the challenge flag in addition to the play calling. Sometimes it may be close but the situation massive. That is of equal importance when it comes to using it. As an example he ABSOLUTELY should have challenged that 4th down run. They may not have overturned it (although I believe he was short) but the play was too important to look the other way. He should have been all over the refs about no call on the Brady intentional grounding. You do that stuff so the next close one goes your way. It’s all a part of game management.

It’s unbelievable. This was supposed to be different. This is the time where you let it all hang out. They’ve tried to allow 7 yards at a time and tried to gain 3 at a time. You don’t beat the Pats like that. Hit Brady and make him move off his spot. Step up and run Josh. Throw the ball down the field. Do something other than rolling over and allowing them to sink and dunk to death.

Just terrified!! How could they come out so scared?!? This was supposed to be different. Attack them!!!!

????

Playing not to lose!! You can’t do that against this team. Attack!!!

He can’t play in this game. With all of the misdirection and screens they just pick on him.

Harrison getting love over TO drives me nuts. He went in the HOF before him. They played in the same era so it’s easy to compare them. TO was the far superior player. TO is also the way better person. So before someone goes onto the rant about “TO the teammate” never forget “Marvin Harrison the shooter.”

I actually think that the Bills win this week but New England beats Miami.

I find Dawkins entertaining but no one gets a show before Tre.

Yeah but the money was never an issue. McCoy is going to be over 500 yards this year with a 4.6 YPC. Ivory is out of the league. I would have been fine with a variety of options but Ivory isn’t a 2 at this point.

I’m going to go with neither. Gore would have been fine as a 3rd back because of his character. He should have never been counted on to run the ball. We should have probably kept Shady as the other back or signed Latavius Murray. They had to have a guy with some tread left on the tires.

If we win Saturday everybody plays. If we lose Saturday everybody sits. Pretty Simple

Yep!! That’s the kind of thing 1st class organizations do. I sense that the Bills will operate like that. There is a reason players love Buffalo.

The only reason that I am bothered by it is that these players often have bonuses and such tied to it. Take a guy like Jordan Phillips for example. He is 2nd in sacks for all DTs. Geno Atkins took a spot that should have gone to Phillips. I don’t know the depth of bonuses in his contract but say he had $250k riding on it. He should be angry. It’s not so much that I am mad that people are selling the Bills short. I feel bad for the players that have earned this recognition and potentially money. We have some guys that should be there.

Well, I usually don’t let the lack of respect bother me. This feels a little different because a lot of guys have a lot to lose from this. Jordan Phillips should be there. Tremaine Edmunds should be in. John Brown should be a first alternate as well. Dion Dawkins and the safeties should have been considered. The Bills are 10-4 and have arguably the best defense in the league. On principle alone they should have sent about 4 guys. You shouldn’t have a team that finished 2 games ahead of them sending 12 guys. You shouldn’t have had bad teams sending 3. The Bills roster has always been underrated but they should have earned the respect this year. There should have been a minimum of 3 defensive players and then a handful of other guys that could have gone.

I her-her-her-her-her-heard it. I was going to start this thread so I’m glad to see it already hear.

I wonder if he can flap them and fly away???

Again, no argument with this. The Bills have been .500ish for most of the decade. There were a couple of bad years and now a good one in there. In general though that’s about right.

That’s where I’m at. I actually think the Bills power rankings at the moment are totally fair. I have no issues with them in that spot.

I’ve always had this vision that every time we play the Patriots it rains dildos on the Patriots sidelines at the 2 minute warning of the 1st half. I pretty much envision it to be like this:

Do you guys remember when the Bills took Reggie Ragland 6 picks ahead of Michael Thomas? Good times

I have 2 units on the Colts under 7.5 wins. It looked dead 2 months ago but not bad today!!

He just can’t get carries anymore. He’s a warrior. He’s going to the HOF. He’s great in the locker room. He just can’t play football anymore.

We traded for Antonio Brown in the offseason...
