  1. Good catch. I re-watched it with NFL gamepass and they did squib it with 15 seconds left and the Rams returner took it from the 10 to the 25 taking five seconds off the clock. A very similar scenario with the only difference being that the Rams had zero timeouts left while the Chiefs had three so that could've led McDermott to doing something different. It's frustrating watching that back how simple it was to execute. McDermott choked in the most crucial of moments and only a Super Bowl victory will atone for that. If not the "13 seconds" will haunt him until his last breath. Oh well. Let's get that fast guy at #25.
  2. This will inspire many NFL players to have a friend make their bets for them. This problem isn’t going away with more states legalizing gambling and the NFL getting in bed with these companies. The fall of Rome is upon us. Apples and oranges comparison. Those crimes don’t have the potential to impact the actual games on the field like gambling does.
  3. Should've built a dome instead of their current mud pit.
  4. I can deal with Mahomes, Hill, and Kelce getting their team into field goal range in two plays in 11 seconds with three time outs. Our defense couldn't cover a stationary wall with paint at that point. What's unacceptable to me is a communication error by our coaching staff on the kickoff. It's inexcusable and Heath Farwell was the fall guy.
  5. It will eventually leak out what happened. A "lack of execution that starts with me" is all you're going to get from McDermott at this point though.
  6. Have you seen our grain elevators? There's been enough economic studies over the years in various cities to show building a new stadium has little impact on the economic development around it. Especially an NFL stadium.
  7. That's pry what was called. Their returner is not going to fair catch it at the five yard line or take the chance of it bouncing through the end zone. We have one of the best special teams coverage units in the NFL and have used that kick effectively throughout the season. Bass is excellent at executing them. The problem with the squib kick is it can take a funny bounce, it can hit one of their blockers at like the 40 where they can just fall on it, and the lack of hang time on the ball gives our coverage unit less time to get down the field increasing the chances of a long kick return.
  8. An onside kick would've pry worked. Nobody would've expected that.
  9. If that did happen McDermott would've said it was my call to kick deep at the after game press conference. There's been nothing in the last five years that makes me believe McDermott is a liar. Communication broke down at the most crucial time and McDermott didn't want to throw anyone under the bus. I don't know how he could've handled it any differently without damaging his in house reputation as frustrating as it is for Bills fans.
  10. Not so far with the Bills but they were there when the Panthers drafted Star in the first round. They then overpaid for him to come here to be a run stuffer. I wouldn't be surprised if Davis is the pick.
  11. It's crazy to think he was a healthy scratch early in the year and now it would be a loss if we didn't re-sign him. I'm pretty confident they'll get a deal done.
  12. Correlation does not equal causation . For example, nine out of the last ten recessions happened under a Republican president despite relatively similar economic policies.
  13. Uggghhhh. Don’t like it given his unique skill set. He’s worth his current contract and some team will pay him at least that.
  14. That 75% is optimistic. Unfortunately, once we lose a pro football team we’ll never get it back so the Pegula’s had all the leverage.
  15. He'd be a great signing. Besides that T. White body slam has there been any other incidents of similar behavior? When Knox went out there was a significant downgrade to Sweeney. You always want to shoot for more depth if you can afford it. Just look at the Rams. We were saying did they really need OBJ knowing they already had Kupp and Woods? Then Woods gets hurt and the Rams pry don't make and win the SB without him.
  16. Then punters would change their punt projectory and value distance over hang time.
  17. Then a qb hungry team signs him for 40 million plus with one less year of wear and tear. You’d essentially help him.
  18. That's not quite what I got from the article. All that was said is they want to go through the same process they used to make kickoffs safer by having a similar committee look at all aspects of the play. That doesn't necessarily mean less returns although that probably will be proposed.
  19. So you'd pay him 5.4 million to do nothing for a season and then let him walk in free agency getting nothing in return?
  20. Seems so odd that they're going through all this trouble trying to weatherproof an open air stadium when they can simply build a dome. Just get it done though as we're lucky to have a team.
  21. Lamar should’ve done this last year. At least with him, Allen, Mahomes, and Herbert you know the intangibles are top notch. Murray - not so much.
  22. The only problem is these idiots don't seem to realize this happened in 2020. https://www.nfl.com/photos/top-10-photos-of-the-year#d0030c41-c06b-45c4-8125-625f3b2611b3 Should've went with this one.
