  1. I've definitely been in the same situation. I know I'm a little boisterous at games, so I fully expect something like what you experienced, and have gotten that treatment a few times. As long as it's just harmless fun, it doesn't bother me. It crosses the line when it's malicious, and that's an easy distinction to make. I don't get upset just because someone touches me in a playful manner, but I would absolutely tell them off if it were disrespectful or violent.
  2. Like, as a person?
  3. Don't get gashed in the run game, get pressure on Brady, and score three touchdowns. All highly unlikely, but it would make me feel better.
  4. Yes. I just think it's a fallacy to assume he's a qualified QB coach because he was a mediocre WR coach under a good head coach. I'd much rather hire a QB coach who has proven he's good at being a QB coach or at least has some innovative potential. Not a guy who's been treading water in a different job.
  5. Except he hasn't gotten promotions everywhere he goes. He's been a WR coach for 25 years and only been promoted to assistant head coach under Reid. Not OC. Assistant head coach. Which probably means that he simply ran things the way Reid designed them and wanted them to be run. And as someone else pointed out already, it was his wide receivers in Kansas City that went an entire year without a touchdown. That's an absurd level of ineptitude that this year's Buffalo passing offense seems hell bent on upstaging. The proof is in the pudding. The guy may be "well respected," but it wouldn't be due to his football acumen.
  6. Andy Reid has proven that he is one of those coaches. Culley has not. In fact, he hasn't even proven he is a specialist at even one position on the offense. He was a WR coach for 25 years before he came to Buffalo. He had only 5 receivers break 1000 yards in a season during that time. That does not scream "offensive specialist." Sorry, but "well respected" coaches who don't produce results are just bad coaches who have been around long enough to have friends in the league.
  7. There are hundreds of coaches in the NFL. Are you saying they are all interchangeable? None of them are better or worse at certain positions than others?
  8. You're thinking of a different play. That one was on Benjamin, although they didn't call anything on the Colts player who did the same thing to him and caused Benjamin to react. They let the other team do whatever they want and wait for the Bills to react before throwing a flag. Yeah he got dragged down by the collar which would cause a hailstorm of laundry for any other team. I was so pissed about that play. That was a blatant non-call that directly led to a touchdown.
  9. Probably because referees allow the other team to do whatever they want to Jerry and he gets an unsportsmanlike for breathing too hard on someone. He is flagrantly held on most passing downs and it's never called.
  10. Gurley was awful his second year. Goff looked like a bust. A good coach gets the most out of his players.
  11. I'm starting to come around on Star. That was a really nice stop. These runs for loss on first down, however, are still complete BS. No other team runs for a loss on most first downs. It's insanity.
  12. Calls people "little *****" for bitching about a player. Proceeds to B word about players.
  13. So how is that not PI? Steamrolled him before the ball got there. Glad Allen was fired up about it.
  14. So when someone else criticizes Allen for his play, they are complaining asshats. Yet you did it in the next breath.
  15. I suppose, if you think being an alternate QB to the Pro Bowl is a "trophy." I think the Lombardi trophy is a trophy.
  16. Not sure if you're just pulling my leg, but there are still thousands of players who play the game and never make a Pro Bowl. Also, no one takes it seriously. Also also, it's been around far longer than the new player safety rules.
  17. I love his passion to win and get better every game and it will take some time before he can diagnose defenses correctly. I am definitely in support of giving him that time. It's just his accuracy that worries me. That was my concern when we drafted him and it's still a concern. It's not usually something that can be fixed. But! He also looks more accurate when he has the right protection and knows where to go with the ball pre-snap, so if he can learn enough to be comfortable the accuracy might follow. I think even if he becomes great he'll always have the occasional "what was that" throw (thinking Randy Johnson wild throws). It will also help him tremendously to draft a few weapons and linemen next year.
  18. What participation trophies have the NFL handed out? Just curious.
  19. The new rules are ridiculous, but Jerry still deserves some blame here. He should have held onto him until a whistle. Honestly I think he thought Mariota might have fumbled the ball too. It was moving when Jerry hit him and he might have let go to try and recover it. But still, the new rules are having a terrible effect on the game.
  20. I'm sure they have short articles ready to go for either scenario and someone just clicked the wrong one.
  21. Guys, we're allowed to be happy about a win and frustrated with the league's worst passing offense. They're not mutually exclusive. You don't get better without recognizing your weaknesses. Edit: agree with trading KB, do not agree with trading McCoy. Also agree that Phillips looked great.
  22. I don't think they're actively trying to be biased, but it's really annoying when you can hear the disappointment in their voice when the Bills do something good and the excitement when the other team does. Or when a call finally goes our way (rare) and it's the end of the world compared to the apathy when we get horrible calls against us (common).
  23. Sean: show me your game face! Terry: Sean: okay that's gonna need some work.
  24. I like to think it's the other way around. Terry: you know, you don't need to get into third and long on every series. Sean: maybe, but how much more fun was that close ending?!
  25. Great defensive game. Now go figure out the ST and offense!
