Yea you are correct

Zimmer had an achiles right? Love that guy but not sure when he will be game ready. I feel like this bodes well for Philips or Oliver or both getting back to health.

It seems like he gets the ball, there is a wall of defenders and the play has no chance nearly every time.

Since the Tenn game last year this has been an issue, maybe longer. This used to be automatic and now they can't get a push. Brady still does it at 450 years old. The OL need to man up.

I guess Kromer has not had magical affects on these guys. OL is something that can improve during the course of the season, communication among the OL and scheme changes can be adjusted.

Gameday decisions start and stop with the head coach. If he put others in place to help him make the right decisions, he still gets credit as he should. If his instincts are bad (I think this is what you think) he could overrule the others who are helping him, but he does not, in the end, they are HIS decisions. Nothing to do with McDermott is a ridiculous statement.

He had 4 fumbles as a rookie and 4 since (2.25 years). He has improved but still suspect in that area. Defenders in general punch at balls a lot more than they used to. RB's more than ever need to always be secure in their handling of the ball.

Disagree The directions were to force a fumble or let him score. Its easier to try and force a fumble when you dont care to tackle the guy.

I noticed a few times he made great tackles on Lamar. When he decides to make the crackle he is decisive aggressive and got him down.

Tyrod can't make it through a game or two.

The play was huge, but the answer to your question is we don't know. If the Bills gain the 76 yards they did starting from the 20 they are well within FG range. If it goes to OT, all things being equal 50/50 the Bills win. Not sure how we can conclude "completely different outcome"

The McKenzie prognosis is likely wrong. Old dirty bastard?

They should be in their own division called “poop colors”

I thin the giants just played their best four game stretch of the season

But 93 offensive plays and 41 minutes of possession is not par for the coarse.

Harlan is awesome....Trent Green on the other hand.......... I think Harlan and Romo would make the best pairing.

The Bills make sense, Bills-Steelers not so much. The games are just weak...........

Steelers the best thing CBS has going this week? Interesting.

have you ever seen a guy get tackled from behind and get a few more yards? Same thing. The officials don't interview the defender and ask them if they wanted the guy to get more yards or not and if they did, it would not be relevant....forward progress is forward progress.

I wonder if his back is still bothering him.

OK but we did not know that until after the last game so no confusion on why Hodgins was not put on the active roster last week or previous.

WHile it was ticky tack....would you also say that about the MIlano late hit where Tua banged his head? For me these were similar in that for both the defender had the ability not NOT initiate contact after the ball was out but chose to anyway. That is part of what the NFL has put in to protect the QB's, if you can avoid contact you need to. For me, both were penalties with how the rule is written and intended.

The vast majority of people cannot comprehend this. And if you called everything the game would suck or be forced to change in other ways.

It is not black and white. Holding happens on most plays but is generally only called when it directly affects the play if it is seen. It is often not seen and you have to just accept the NFL does not want to call it all the time as it ruins the product. While you have a nice screenshot of what looks like a hold by the Ravens you can probably find many that were not called against the Bills. Some people think everything favors the Bills opponents, I am not one of them. Yesterday penalties were 4 (Bills) to 9(Ravens). I believe the Ravens DB's played very aggressively vs the Bills receivers (strategically) and got away with it most of the first half, they finally called it a couple times before the half was over. All teams/players stretch the limits to find where the officially will make the call.

Glad I missed it
