RoyBatty is alive

All true but then again deep threat opens up the entire rest of the field. Allen has pretty much as strong an arm as there is and it would be nice to have a top WR with speed that can get open and let Allen heave it his direction or at least have the constant threat.

The Texans fan base is close to a revolt on Bill O Brien after that fiasco. If i were the Bills i would have given more for D Hop than what they gave for Diggs for sure.

Yep, that is where I am this is a big year for him. No more excuses. We now have a legit #1 WR good line and good RB.

Good job appreciate all the work. I dont think there is any doubt that Allen CAN make pretty much any throw (often shaky ok the short "easy" ones) in the NFL with the arm he has and that is what you demonstrate here. My concern is how consistent is Allen? He has beautiful throws mixed in with inaccurate throws and some real hero ball head scratching decisions. You can make any NFL qb look like an All Pro with selected highlights. We could also make Allen look real bad with "lowlight" reel. Now of course we dont always know if Allen has a a terrible throw or the receiver ran the wrong route. We also have questionable WRs talent, his first year was a joke of a receiving corps but it was materially upgraded this year. Still our playoff loss could have been a win had Duke Williams been able to hold onto a TD or John Brown better footwork on the sideline, neither was easy but every game in the NFL good WRs make those catches. So for me, in his third season, same system same coaches, J Allen has to continue to improve. He now has a good O Line and now a true legit #1 WR in Diggs. For me Allen HAS to make big strides this year and that starts with consistency and would be nice to get over 60% of his passes completed.

Oh the incredible hypocrisy, yep I am the one deriding people while you call me heartless and contemptible.

Congrats on running a successful business, then my smart ass comment as about your business acumen were unwarranted, maybe. You do realize the labor in the fast food/service industry in WNY (mostly) is radically different from what, i assume , the type of business you run in Silicon Valley. Totally different dynamic. And you dont wait to make tough financial decisions until you are on the verge of bankruptcy, when that happens you are too late 99% of the time. Then NO One gets rehired. with al due respect that type of comment screams to me that you are not being intellectually honest here.

1) Good thing you dont judge. You do realize running a business is not a charity. 2) You know for a fact he will rebound from this do you? Do you have any idea how much debt he has? The cash burn he has? Something tells me your business acumen is derived mostly from emotion and chatrooms.

Drilling Almost all natural gas wells are uneconomic in the US, as are the oil wells.

Inevitable and so predictable someone was going to criticize them. How about the drama, "But here’s the fine print: They’re not saving their jobs for them." Really? Are they supposed to guarantee them jobs?

Agree but with one major caveat...can Knox learn to catch consistently?

That is true BUT it is the federal bankruptcy Court in Wilmington that is the perferred court of choice for XI, VII or a pre pack. It is the draw and companies have a higher survival/recovery rate a than those in NYC It also helps the judges have great familiarity with bankruptcy. I was once told there is nothing more powerful than a Federal bankruptcy Judge, you get a bad one and they can let it drag out and waste everything. I will admit the Act wasnt all bad. It was Joes Bankurptcy Protection and Consumer whatever Act (forgot the name) was a boon.

His assets are fungible but i doubt liquid. First of all, he had a bunch or partnerships and mineral interests, whatever he sold for wasn't 100% net to him. Second, i have little doubt there was substantial debt associated with it, make it tax and economically efficient. Probably had trusts for his kids, some they cant touch for years, companies inside of partnerships inside LLCs. A straight up cash sale would result in a $1 billion tax bill easy.

Wow this is just too rich. They have figured out a way to make Joe Biden the victim. His inability to talk coherently wont be able to be attacked or made an issue as he is now "handicapped". Then as senility is proves painfully obvious that will be off bounds and cruel to pick on poor Joe, it will be age discrimination.

Ever wonder why most bankruptcies are filed in Delaware? You got it, Uncle Joe. Bet you anything that was driven by the financial institutions and credit card companies that have been paying him off for decades.

Love it, thoughtful not sure i totally agree with it, would make for a great in depth conversation. Now that is not how it works, trust me it isnt that simple. I would be absolutely stunned if he has net of debt $2.5 billion "liquid".

already responded about to this, this isnt the NF rulebook and the specifics of this event arent covered.

That wasnt quoting the rule book and it was hardly inclusive of what occurred. As i said you can either believe an expert in NFL officiating or use your own unbiased interpretation. If you want to go to the NFL rule book and prove me wrong knock yourself out. I am going to bet the rule book is not inclusive of what acually happened,. No one outside of disgruntled Bill fans cares about this at all so i doubt the NFL rules committee will even address what happened. At some point a thing called common sense should take over.

And you can be sarcastic and demand i show you the rule or accept what a former VP of NFL's former VP officiating says. If you want to prove how incorrect i am, you go look up the rule.

Common, no not common, never happened before, yest it has. NFL has bent over backwards to make kickoffs as benign as possible and this is a reflection of it, returner gave himself up.

Why are you asking a question you have already received the answer to, I have already gone though that with you about 10 times in Shoutbox,

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.” I guess i will chose to believe Pereira.

When a player "gives himself UP' which is what it was ruled there is intention in that so yes intention does in fact matter. Player had no intention to return it, there is no debate about that, all he did was field it and politely lob it to the official.

No need to kneel If a ball gets to the end zone and touches the ground, it’s an automatic touchback. There’s no need for a player to pick it up and kneel, or even catch a ball if it’s headed for the end zone and they don’t intend to return it. This is a small time saver, but the goal is to blow a play dead earlier so that unnecessary collisions don’t happen. Under the previous rules, a player could take their time gathering a ball and kneeling while the coverage team and return team blockers still careened toward each other for no reason.

There is NO comparison to dropping a ball in the field of play and a returner in the endzone lobbing the ball to a ref. Get real.

All the ref had to do was catch the ball, just like is common in today NFL returners catch the ball and lob it to the ref. Had he done that none of us would give it a thought for a nanosecond. But no Ref had to make a big deal about it. It is is the rule book, play is over when players gives himself up. 1) no, If a retuner is outside the endzone, he is a runner like a RB, in the end zone he is not unless he makes a football move 2) no it doesnt, only if you are out of the field of play
