RoyBatty is alive

Fines to most NFL players are so small they are immaterial, it wont stop fights erupting IMO. Throwing a flag is a serious deterrent, that hurts your team and players would be more careful,

Boy I hope you are correct BUT in a past few games, Belichek/Josh McDaniels has been able to key on and isolate Tremaine, largely give him looks where he hits the wrong hole wrong direction.

I am not sure there is "Allen hate". Certainly everyone has an opinion and some will like or dislike a particular QB, that is reality. I dont think Allen is singled out for it. The narrative that many are trying to justify their opinion of him as an inaccurate QB out of Wyoming is tired and old. There was a lot of love for Allen last year, he & the Bills have not been as effective this year (and yes I know his tats so far from last year compared to now which is misleading). I tell you what was obnoxious was the almost universal Mahomes love last year, boy was that tiresome. You could also say the same thing about Mac Jones this year. So he has a great rookie year to date, there have been a lot of one year wonders in the NFL.

One the one hand you have to be very very careful not to " taunt" but at the same time half the team can run down to some TV camera or end zone and break out in an over the top celebrations.

TO still owns the Bills record for longest pass play, 98 yards from Fitzpatrick. I never liked TO but he was close to a model citizen with the Bills and was a class act.

So many, many comments on this. At this rate this thread will be blocked.

Yep. His C + should be the most worrying for Bills Fans on Monday.

I would not be surprised if by tonight the Bills are reading some of the idiocy on this board and laughing their arses off, I bet Diggs would to see what he started.

I will ley you try and report back. Take one for the team.

I just popped in for the last post and this is what I find. Nothing ever ceases to amaze me here. # of ways to milk a cow? I can think of only two, by hand or machine.

Google for Uber rates in Hamburg/Orchard Park are worthless on game Day. Instantaneous supply and demand, very problematic to predict on game day.

Yeah right expert at exposing ST weaknesses. Maybe he should examine his own weaknesses on ST since two of his punts were blocked this year.

McDermott will not be on the hot seat this year, period. He has built up way too much goodwill.

Add onto that the Sabres anxiety and the no goal versus Dallas, it wears on a city after a while.

Bills fans rooting not to lose, who can blame them after 2000-2017. I dont care what "the fans " think.

Great story. Brady has to be relaxed now he is away from Darth Vader Belichek, he can act like a real human being now.

Did he? Yeah I could see him doing that. I try not to listen to him, I think he is a blowhard, I think he tries too hard not to be overshadowed by Joe Buck. Any connection to Belichek and suddenly players are elevated to greatness in many talking heads opinion.

If we don't kill ourselves with stupid penalties and drops like Jax, whoever wins the turnover battle will win this game. The Pats current win streak is largely based on a massive positive turnover ratio. I havent heard that. Many are saying he is making fewer mistakes than other QBs but universally he is viewed as a short yardage master under the tutelage of Belichek but has significant physical limitations compared to other QBs, notably Josh Allen.

Sad to say in total I don't think either team is "better" but I do think the Pats are now playing better. We seemed to have peaked about week 6, Pats seem to be getting stronger every week. How they could lose the opener to the Dolphins is as baffling as how we lost to the Jags.

No the play started at the 7. Allen looked like the play was designed to go to the left, he pulled the ball back wheeled around ran to the right and found Knox. I dont think it was really Ike fault.

No he was almost in the end zone, well past 5 yards beyond the LOS.

Yep, he also cost us 7 points, took a TD away from to Allen-Knox as he was drifting too far past the line of scrimmage and was called for ineligible man downfield and the next play Allen throw a pick. Without that Allen would have had 5 td passes and 1 int, instead 4 td and 2 ints.

After the fiasco against Indie and the JAX embarrassment, I abondonet thoughts like that. I would be happy with just a victory and no major injuries.

Not uncommon at all. Dick Vermeil used to puke before games.

If I were McD i certainly would be tempted to give McKenzie his walking papers. Send a message to the rest of the team (which apparently 3 dreadful quarters versus the Dolphins and 2 horrendous games). Then again, McDermott was talking about McKenzies underdog story as a kids and what he has overcome so I think he has a soft spot for him. Also McDermott is not petty and vindictive as I am.
