Eff Stephon Gilmore and his half-assed effort here.Another whaley gem I'm glad is gone.
Rex was a cancer on that defense. Any half-competent coach could have gotten allstar level performances from GIlmore. Rex had a terrible scheme and no vision that caused everyone on that D to look poor.

I would propose that you only get a home game from winning the division if you also reach 9-wins.

I no longer have any fear for missing the playoffs with Derrick Henry's new hamstring injury.

they were talking about this in sirius nfl this morning. if the bills win out, and the pats win out other than the loss to the bills, the pats still win the east. apparently is has to do with the loss to the eagles.
Ah damn, I mixed up the next tie-breaker... best W/L within the conference. Thx

We messed up by losing to the Ravens. Just get into the playoffs at this point.
I'm pretty sure we win the division if we win out

For those plays to churn out TDs, you need a combination of a mistake from your opponent, great simultaneous play by multiple Bills, and some luck. It's not concerning, it's just the reality of how typical these plays are in general.

what i don't understand is why BB could not challenge the spot being a yard or more off. Which it was. He then would have won that challenge and had a third challenge given to him for later use.
They then could have spotted the ball at the new correct spot via determination on replay and then remeasured for first down.
But apparently he can only challenge that the first down was not made. Why? They clearly marked it wrong by at least a yard. Still kinda inconclusive if he made first down line to gain or not so call stands. First down. Call was not confirmed so it was inconclusive.
Then to confuse us further apparently BB can ask the refs to review two items on one challenge. The spot and PI. Not sure if it was a picplay/PI or other offensvie PI,. Romo basically said BB was a genius for taking advantage of kinda a loop hole. And Romo says they should have respotted it correclty by at least a yard+ and then remeasured.
ok what kind of loophole did mangenious find and how would it have worked or backfired? If spot call is overturned in BB favor by respotting as I think it should have been, and PI was determined not a foul. Does BB lose the challenge or win it? He got ONE right and ONE wrong. Does he get a half a challenge returned. lol...????
The 'must be clear to reverse/grant a first down call' rule has always been there. It's supposed to deter coaches from wasting time on meaningless 1-yard challenges that don't impact anything.
In the end, they could have moved the ball 1-yard and it still would have been a 1st down. The PI was nothing even close to warrant a discussion based on how they've reviewed those instances this year.

Oh I agree was a poor decision there! I was trying keep the Pats out of it and talking in general about tweeting the rule is all. Would it be a bad idea to keep a challenge unless you lose your challenge on that play? I think keep refs a bit more honest if they knew the challenge was still there.
I edited my earlier response, it probably makes sense to change the rule.. I doubt it will happen because it seems like even changes that are good ideas get squashed into the bargaining chips argument.
-
It was a poor decision to challenge the first down. There needs to be clear evidence not only that the spot is wrong, but that it would result in a change to the decision of a 1st down or not. The spot was terrible, but it was still likely a first down.. hence the poor decision by BB.
But to your point, the "2-win challenge rule for a 3rd" was initially put in place when challenges were first brought back to the league due to worries of impact to game flow that could result from so many challenges... now with all scoring plays, all turnovers, and inside 2-minutes requiring an automatic challenge, the game flow has been totally F'd so why not do what you're saying.

He really did. Played the route perfectly. If Brown was bigger he could have boxed him out and prob may a better play on the ball. I would have liked to see him come back to the ball a bit more and cut off Peters, but Allen throws a bullet and he didn't have much time to adjust.
No doubt Peters knew the route and did his homework leading up to the game.

Defender got his hand on the ball, not a drop!
Did he though?? I couldn't tell, I was coming to this forum to confirm.
It looked like the ball got to Brown to me. Tight defense non the less.
-
Couldn't tell from the replay, but was that a drop by Brown on the final play? Definitely tight coverage, but the ball looked to be perfectly thrown, and not outlandish to expect an NFL caliber receiver to make the catch.

It's up to the Bills to knock off the Pats.

Wind led to inconsistent balls thrown early on in the game, and I feel like this led to some drops later once Josh started to get it together.. Couple that with a few mistakes vs a defense that's playing lights out and that's what you get.
Grand scheme of things, the Pats loss keeps the division title in reach, so can't be too upset!

I'm gonna get the ***** JETS game prioritized where I am.
53 minutes ago, Gugny said:I already checked my local listings and we (Albany area) are getting the Bills/Ravens over the Jets/Dolphins.
This is the 2nd week in a row we're being televised over the Jets. That is FAR from the norm and I'll take it because it saves me money (I hit the bar when they're not on the local affiliate).
This was the last week in question for the remainder of the season. Woo hoo!
Last week we played on thanks giving. Did they show Bills/Denver game over the Jets?

I believe it has to be Scott Norwood. If he makes a tough, but very makeable 47 yard FG, the Bills not only win the Super Bowl, but, IMO, impacts the team in following three Super Bowls, from a psychological perspective - particularly the last two.
What if making the kick had the opposite reaction. Bills go into a superbowl hangover, miss the playoffs next year, slowly decline, never build up the amazing fan base that resulted from 4 consecutive super bowl appearances... Eventually there isn't enough fan base to support the team and the Bills get moved!
Beware the butterfly effect!

You can either simulate his speed or his size/strength, but not both.

Zero chance that he's bitter. He made the decision to retire.

No. There’s no situation imaginable where I wouldn’t want to win this game and put the rest of the NFL on notice.
I can... if it gives the PATs a first round bye and they somehow win another superbowl because of it.
Obviously it's impossible to know 'what could have happened', but that's the thought.

Assuming the OP is watching football for the first time this year.
No worries bud, we're ok.

The winner between the Cowboys running game and the Bills run defense will win this game.

Only way the Bills win the division is by beating the Patriots and knocking Brady out from playing week-17.
