As for football, I'd really like to see some timing routes for Josh to throw. I watched the video w/Dilfer saying Josh was accurate (I type that as he throws low to Ivory), so why do they not design 3 step drop, throw to spot plays?

As long as you recognize it's an opinion, not a fact. I'm too old for NFL now, so I do what I can to teach the new refs how to keep their heads from spinning.

... that said, should have been holding on Lawson. That was a pull, not a push. Thankfully we get the pick we were hoping for there.

You're all kidding yourself if you think the refs care about the Bills good, or bad. The Bills bring most of these things on themselves. There is NO WAY you watch other games and think, WOW these refs are wonderful and make every call right, but for some reason they are routinely awful against just the Bills. Every crew makes mistakes in EVERY game, not just the Bills games. Enough of the "they're out to get us" nonsense.

End of season, we're going no where, protect body for next season syndrome (EOSWGNWPBFNSS for short

Because I'm a Zebra, I'm going to defend that guy on screen at least. You DO see which way he's looking right? Someone away from the screen (LJ in particular) should have wide view to see that. Not sure where the ref is also, but he has the cross view, but he may be looking upfield also. Not excusing the crew, but a ref in the middle of the field with chaos coming at him is not to blame there.

Thankfully creating a TO one minute into the 2nd half cannot happen very often for your sake.

Did they fire Crossman at halftime?! Maybe that's why ST is already better.

I was going to say Happy Days post about the refs protecting their own was ignorant until I read this. No. Playing to injure is subhuman. If Hughes was right, there is no way the refs support that type of behavior. Dude sits because he deserves to and the others will support that.

Maybe Vernon Davis can come visit Crossman at halftime to show him how it's done.

In fairness, he still shows some nice moves, but he needs to have some space to work with. He's too often accosted in the backfield. I don't know what percentage of that is speed, or just poor line play

Really feels like they should have pulled the trigger at the deadline. I hope he's still providing the leadership they value and being a solid mentor.

I agree. I love his magic act. Penn's not so bad himself.

Because you just got beat at the LOS by a strong defense and the FG makes it a 1 possession game without the risk of swinging all of the momentum to Buffalo. Just sayin'

Any concern I have about Darnold are swept away when I remember that he's from USC and wearing a Jets jersey. No problems.

In that they're both poor? How else would they be related? No connection between the two otherwise.

Culture. I'm not in the locker room to see if he actually behaves like a leader, but his mannerisms on the field leave something to be desired. Rats! That was my first thought, but you beat me to it. Well done.

The "little guy" line reminds me of the Benny Hill sidekick that keeps getting slapped on his bald head. heh heh. Anyway... I think for two years this team has overproduced. The Bills clearly do not have the talent of other teams. Sometimes it shows and sometimes they surprise me positively. If he truly evaluates to get better every week, then some of his flaws have to start showing improvement. * His challenges are comical. I was quite bothered he tossed it after progress was obviously out of the end zone. * I don't think his time management is as bad as his tendency to just concede time at the end of a half. The kid wants to push it. Let him fly. He's not going to learn turning and handing it off in those situations. * If we're keeping players specifically to perform better at ST, then that's a failure all around. I don't think we need major coaching changes otherwise, just more talent. * This team shows a lack of discipline and professionalism. Not just the penalties, but Lawson in the tunnel last week and Hughes this week. How is it not clear to either that such behavior reflects poorly on everyone in the organization? * KB and Clay. I cannot isolate film to watch both of them every play, so maybe there are positives I'm not seeing, but they do not appear to show much effort, nor leadership. Shady is not performing to the level we all hoped for, but at least he's a leader. If KB and Clay have nothing to offer, we can perform just as well without them. If cutting them is too costly, then can be inactive and not just be awarded playing JMHO

I live a life where I don't find myself in such predicaments as Kareem's. When these things happen I typically have my initial outrage and wonder why I watch the NFL at all. Not that I'm numb to it, but I enjoy the game, warts and all. I'm often more appalled by the owners' arrogance than the players' ignorance. The Bills have had players that made bad choices and got suspensions, yet after a great play, there we are rooting them on. This is not a high ground to take. If you do, stop watching football altogether. Bills players are not all saints. Even if we place a claim, I don't think he'll fall to us anyway.

C'mon man. You owe your wife something nice after that crack.

What is overlooked is that Dabol is still holding his play sheet after his fall. He clearly saw it as a teaching moment and is showing Clay how to hold on to things when he falls. My caption: Like this doofus!

I don't know who is in the box on a monitor advising McD to throw the red flag, but HOLY COW! Worse job than anyone ever mentioned before on this site. For all of the player moves the Bills make week-to-week, THAT is someone that needs to go.

Not that I like, nor do I agree with every call I see, but the Bills bring much of this on themselves. This is one of my major contentions with McD. Rex's teams were undisciplined and he was supposed to bring a new culture. I still see a lack of discipline from this group. Too often they do not show maturity, nor professionalism. I thought the call they made against Phillips was a bit oversensitive. The running back was upended and Phillips was celebrating a good play. I don't think he was attempting to push the RBs foot, but got caught up. They saw it differently. What I did not like at all was Phillips clapping at the Miami sideline the very next play. He should have gotten his 2nd unsportsmanlike and been ejected. After the game Hughes confronts the refs in the hallways. If what Hughes says is true, that does not excuse Hughes' reaction. The league is going to investigate now anyway, why go to handle it personally? What good comes from that? If McD feels there is no tolerance for these types of demonstrations, then he need to back that up with consequences. I hope he's serious and I hope he gets this under control, or moves players along that cannot control themselves.

After I turned off our game I watched Kelce & Rudolph make great catches using strong hands to hang on. After last year's performance before injury, I thought Clay would be a nice sleeper. Sleepy maybe, not sleeper.
