[BUF-HOU Playoff Redux: 2nd Half Kickoff]

 When a fumble goes out of bounds in the end zone, the following shall apply:

1. If a ball is fumbled in the field of play, and goes forward into the opponent’s end zone and over the end line or sideline, a touchback is awarded to the defensive team; or
2. If a ball is fumbled in a team’s own end zone or in the field of play and goes out of bounds in the end zone, it is a safety, if that team provided the impetus that sent the ball into the end zone (See 11-5-1 for exception for momentum). If the impetus was provided by the opponent, it is a touchback.

 

 

so by rule it should have been a safety.  we still should have won the game but those extra 2 points and the ball could have ended things right then and there I believe.  

 

 

 

 

Did you even see the play?

"Mike Pereira, the NFL’s former vice president of officiating, backed up the call being change. “Didn’t see what happened on the touchback in the end zone but even if you don’t down it, tossing the ball to the official or dropping the ball intentionally ends the play,” Pereira wrote on Twitter. “You are deemed to have given yourself up.”

 

Pretty obvious and straightforward to me.

 

Bills fans have a tough time psychologically on this one for sure.

 

 

By the way, I think such a poll here at a Buffalo Bills chatroom will come up with totally logical and unbiased responses.

 

 

 

Where in the rule book does it state you can down a play by tossing it to the ref?

[Josh Allen working out with Pittman Jr]

Another Josh Allen, Michael Pittman Jr. connection... I'm assuming Pittman Jr. is the son of previous NFL running back Michael Pittman. Well Pittman is Fresno State Alumni so Josh may already know Pittman Jr. from the valley connection.

And then if testing positive you will only incur fines, no suspensions. The fine amount depends on which stage you are in as well. The most hefty will be 3 game checks. 

 

The players need to re-think this. Basically as the fines increase they end up playing games for free. How is that a win for the players in any aspect?

His paycheck 

 

Does this also help protect from a team hiring him away as a DC/Assistant HC? I know a team can't take him laterally unless approved by the Bills, but if they were to offer a DC/Assistant HC job would that no longer of been a lateral move if he was still only officially a DC?

He didn’t hold out for the half the season. He signed during TC.

 

I stand corrected, I was thinking it was a long holdout. He actually sustained a hamstring injury that kept him out the first four games. I now remember people were blaming the holdout and signing at the end of August for the hammy injury.

I don’t think that’s fair. If I remember correctly the Chargers were trying to do something with his bonus pay that no other team was doing. Maybe it was even offset language. I don’t remember. That was a them problem and not a Bosa problem.
 

Now he’s doing what every player in his situation does, waiting for a long term deal. That’s standard for players of his caliber that don’t have guaranteed money commensurate with their production. We see that every year. 

 

2 totally different situations that are easily justified.  

 

 

My memory was off, I stand corrected.

How is it a headache that he wants a big contract? Wouldn’t you if you were him?

Nah he likes it there and they will pay him. It’s different than the Melvin Gordon situation. The GM isn’t stupid. They may move on from Ingram though. 

 

Wanting a bigger contract isn't. The fact that he held out, for what half the season or more? Before signing his rookie deal and now might be ready to hold out again before that rookie deal isn't even up is what I'm talking about. We don't know if he's we willing to hold out again, but if he is, he is gonna be a pain in the ass his entire career.

Chargers might be dysfunctional enough for Bosa to hold out for a trade.  

 

This dude is good but damn the head aches... Does he want this payday enough to have his second holdout before his rookie contract is even up???

I dont ever "cheer/root" for that..but that said I will 100% NOT FEEL SORRY for him if that happens either.  When people do stupid things and reap the rewards of stupidity...I almost never feel bad for them if its sports, people wrestling with bears, handling snakes,jumping into lion pits, swimming with sharks..when something inevitably goes wrong...its really hard to feel bad for them..

 

I get that, but AB is a special kind of waste of oxygen. He has treated others without an ounce of decency or respect for years. He deserves the same in return. Screw helping him. I dont care if the guy has CTE or whatever other excuse he or others try to give him for his disgusting behavior. 

 

His apology tour is not a result of him changing or  becoming a better person. You don't change that who you are that drastically over the course of a month or two. He's just come to realize that money wont be there forever and is only out for #1 like he has always been.

Interesting that he didnt have Jordan Phillips mentioned at all in the domino's of the defensive tackles.

Although i wasn't trolling, you brought up stars attending the UFC ,which reminded me of the ones i saw today at the Strongman show.

 

 

 

My post really wasnt even about being all homer about the stars like some have portrayed. It was more about the slight the Baker got because I think he's such douche. Barstool actually made a FB post about it as well that was pretty funny and it was blowing up with people clowning on Baker. I guess some people here just feel like they are above the humor I saw.

Sofia Vergara and her husband Joe Manganiello were at the Arnold classic , Santa Monica today , to watch Strongman competitors.

 

Also DE Chase Young was there and they asked him if he would incorporate any of this training in his regimen, he said no but wants the energy they bring. He would be wise to incorporate some to add to his overall and core strength.

 

 

 

 

Now this is trolling that I can appreciate because at least you shared some visual excellence

[UFC 246 - Stars in the crowd]

UFC 246 on tonight and they start showing stars in the crowd. They highlight Christian Mcaffery then go to Myles Garret, who they introduce as a former 1st round pick. Funny thing is, next to him is Baker Mayfield, but they totally skip over mentioning him and then move on to Tom Brady. Baker even leans in when he sees the camera on Myles, but crickets.

We beat them with Tommy when Fitz was QB. I'm good with that. 

 

We beat them in 2014 when Tommy played the first  1/2.  They pulled him so he wouldn't get killed.  2014 D could get after the Qb.

Correct, and those victories were sweet. Certainly not as sweet as it being for the AFC East Championship.

Isn’t it funny we all wanted him gone for so long...now many fans want him to stay to we can knock his block off...?

 

I just dont want it to be that we could only beat them after he left. I know the narrative will still be that he's washed up now, but at least it would still be him. I also want him to feel defeat handed to him from the Bills.

[Tua declares for the draft; do you want Miami to take him?]

No, that would be a wasted rd 1 pick on a non-starter. That pick needs to be used on a player that is expected to be a day 1 starter/contributer.

[Sal just declared the Pats*** reign over]

I hope Brady stays. I want to win the East with him still there.

[Rachel Bush, contract negotiator/agent]

Extend the man. Why in the hell would we want to create another hole that needs to be filled? We already need to replace Lorax, get a #2 CB, and edge rusher. Poyer is an above average safety and it would be plain stupid to let him walk.

[One new Bill 2020]

How long did we sign LaAdrian Waddle for? I remember him being talked up as a possible good RT before getting injured. Does anyone have any intel on how he was looking prior to the injury? We just may have a better answer at RT already on the team.
