they showed it during the halftime quick highlights if I remember right, he had a hanfull of jersey and pulled a bit

Lot of issues tonight, which is why the game felt somewhat within reach. - Holding call on Graham to negate the early INT. After the replay it looked like an okay call, but it definitely takes some steam out of the D. Kudos to them for holding it together. - Non-call on the PI against Butler on Hogan. It was a poor throw, but Butler made contact with Hogan before the ball made contact with him and he was not making any sort of play for the ball. - Shady dropped TD. It was well defended thanks to an excellent recovery by McCourty, but it should have been a catch. That led to... - Carp Missed FG. Gave the Pats* good field position before the half, something you never want to give Brady. - Mario blown coverage leads to Pats* TD to end the half. - Still don't know why we kneel at the end of the half instead of taking a shot at the end zone... - Inadvertent whistle leads to a completion + 15 yard penalty. This was a no win situation for the refs, so why not make it bad for the Bills instead of the Pats*? Announcers even expected it to be a replayed down. - McFumble set the Pats* up for some easy points on an extremely short field. More Kudos to the D on this drive. - Henderson got whooped this game. 2 costly penalties and got beat constantly. - Tyrod's ball placement was off pretty much all game. Underthrows on his favorite wheel/go routes and 2 hard dives for Woods on out routes come to mind. - Last drive had 2 terrible calls on the sideline involving Sammy catches. Why don't we have a handful of plays for Sammy? He's double teamed? Run a bubble screen. Think they'll jump it? Run an end around. Just put the ball in his hands. At the end of the day a lot went wrong and we were still in it to the end. In fact I think we still have 2 seconds on the clock. Oh well, it'll probably be a delayed handoff to Shady up the middle out of the shotgun.

This is not a concern.

Basically if he starts 50% of our games this year or next year then 2017 is voided 5 days after the 2016 Super Bowl. The rest of the confusing stuff is just escalator clauses based on starts, playoff apperances, etc. IMO there will be extension talks this offseason, which would keep him relatively cheap next year and then pay him after that.

For the second half. I remember him looking frustrated in the first half though! (I know both sides were playing without some key pieces)

ESPN tQBR doesn't go above 100, ever. It's a 0-100 rating scale.

It's interesting to me that we essentially field 5 CBs on our defense Gilmore Darby Robey Graham McKelvin

Wasn't Freddy part of that statement?

it is in Washington as well I believe, so 2/32. And it's legal but extremely confusing in DC, but the 'Skins are in MD anyway

I mostly agree, but I'd swap QB and OT as well as TE and OC. QB=2 TE=3 OT=1 OC=2

Really? I could have sworn Tyrod completed 63% of his passes and not 44%

Jacksonville beat a Bills offense starting it's backup QB, backup RG, backup RT, WR's 3, 5, and 6, and missing RB2. That is not the team that we are right now.

Rough stretch for the Steelers. Cleveland without Big Ben, Seattle, Cincy, and Denver

They can say whatever they want as long as he keeps putting W's in the W/L Column

I'm BuffaloHokie and I approve this message The way you describe it makes me think of Aaron Rodgers when he knows he has a free play.

ha, 7 TDs on 64 touches means he scores on 11% of his touches.

I broke that down a while ago. It seems through his career Roman's spread is about 30-40-30 and we have been more used to 23-55-22

Josh Johnson was a QB in Roman's system in SF where they prepared for Bowles' defense. He knew the game plan better on a short week. Really not a big deal.

Nah, just the Pats and Jets. Pats 8-0 Chiefs 3-5 Texans 3-5 Eagles 4-4 Redskins 3-5 Cowboys 2-6 Jets 5-4

So is it safe to assume that Roman's game plan for the Jets was almost identical to how he tried to attack Bowles' Defense when Roman was in SF and Bowles was in Arizona?

This is pretty much where I stand, but I think I'm typically a touch more optimistic than Metz. I say 4 out of the 5 as I can see them dropping either Philly or Dallas.

That tactic worked out for the Ravens in 2012!

It's one of those things they will work out as they play more together I think. Tyrod placed the ball over the top expecting Sammy to keep running and Sammy expected the ball to be more towards the middle of the field so he could have space to go get it.
