RoyBatty is alive

No this is exactly what I wrote, "Can you cite ONE NFL game that an over the top Field goal was so close that it might have decided the game? " You supplied one, the Belichek one, the other you posted was a game by 4 and a game by 14, one wasnt even the NFL but neither was material to the outcome of the game. Just like the Bills=-Jets game...meaningless.

No materiel regardless, Browns won by 4. And imo From what I saw, no way that was good. I am not going to comment on every single debatable FG you keep coming up with over the post.

Give you credit for finding that. Again the refs were exactly where they needed to be, they had the best angle, the kick was no good. Sorry but Belichek and the biased Pats dont have close to the best angle. Look up parrallax effect/view, the will exactly why the refs are where they are. You do have a valid point to consider.

I am afraid of a suggestion like that, brings along the idiocy of things like the change of rules in the XFL. The game is fine, is it perfect, no...there are judgement calls and people involved.

When you try and codify and legislate every single possibility in the NFL then you come up with monstrosities like what is a catch in the NFL. Has that made the game more enjoyable, more watchable, more fair? The goal post situation is fine, lets stop trying to create/manufacture potential problems. The refs were exactly where they needed to be to see the best angle of the kick. Time to get over it already..

Our Super Bowl wide right had zero to do with the goal; post. Can you cite ONE NFL game that an over the top Field goal was so close that it might have decided the game? I will wait.

So again if you kick the ball TOO STRONG and it goes over the uprights is is no good....defeats the original purpose of what a field goal was about. Lets just call it "target" kicking going forward.

Borderline idiotic debate over meaningless points in a Bills blowout but because of this TRAVESTY and INJUSTICE we Are going to over-engineer and make it fool proof...just like what a "catch" is now in the NFL. Lets get a list of ALL the contested games that a situation like this was at debate and material to the score. It will be a very very short list.

Brady has had three pick sizes in his past 3 NFL games, talking Matt Schaub type trend.

LOL. I agree,get a grip. you cant tell from the camera angles which is exactly WHY the refs are positioned where they are, the refs have the best view of anyone.....except for of course disgruntled Bill fans for meaningless points in a game the blew out their opponent.

What? Are FGs now having to go the the square? No, also because it would make the bars very heavy and likely unstable.

Which team was so play action heavy in that era. was it the Pats? Did they have off the bell curve positive results, yes. Take them and re-run the data.

I already read your comment from Football Outsiders, would love to read their data set. If that was true every team would be play action all the time, it isn't as if teams dont use analytics. It is like fans that say all we have to do is run, run run and we win 97% of the time when we run for over 180 yards. The purpose of the play action is to sell the run, you wont get defenders to go for your run play fake if you cant run.

I agree 100%.

Either a mobile QB or a good run game. The Pats used play action a lot with a relatively immobile Brady but the Pats could run and Brady could fake hand-offs and sell the run game

Play action really works when you have an adequate run game and yes the Jets tried to shut down our run game but we are going to have to run much better in the future to sell the play action.

Fantastic. Father very proud his son is on the Bills, and in the spirit of the Bills fans, tremendous. Now we sit and wait for the inevitable lectures of the horrors of table breaking and the term "mafia".

The Packers need a quality defense which they sure didnt disaply on Sunday.

Yeah the Beasley throw had a high potential for a TD had it been on target.

that was creatively humorous...but one NEVER knows here with some of the absurd things i have read.

Ridiculous. So i guess you dont watch any old movies or old recordings, get rid of any home movies that are old, after all you sure wouldn't want to listen to Ghosts, oh how scary!!!

He cant fumble (badly) twice and miss wide open uncovered receivers in the end zone against elite teams, he can get away with that versus the Jets in the first game of the year but not versus quality teams, imho. And I would give Allen an A- on his play yesterday, overall he played extremely well. I am a big Josh Allen fan but he has to get the fumbles under control...it wasnt as if they were forced fumbles made by great defensive play, he literally dropped the ball twice.

I think the fake noise is non-sense...like a bad laughtrack from a 70s comedy sitcom. I would much rather hear the reactions of the players/staff when a play is made. I love it when i hear the pads hit and the unscripted comments you can pick up, i also love to hear the QB and the defense call plays per snap. A few hits i was able to hear when they turned down the noise really helped emphasize the action on the game.

Yeah all except the media blowhards, i would love to hear Mike Greenberg this morning whine and and on about the jets...and that bucktooh Francesca as well.

Especially correct on your last point.
