No, it's him ruining the league, do you really want star players doing this and demanding trades and so forth. The last thing the NFL needs is to become the NBA.
That was my first thought... he seems like a perfect fit for the NBA.
Bell is free to do whatever he wants, as are any of us. There are consequences to some actions. If I'm a potential employer, I see a guy that is more of an individual than a team player. Nothing wrong with that... unless you're the person in charge of putting a team together. Instead of getting into the trenches with his teammates... and it's not like he's been captured and held hostage by Pittsburgh, they've not broken any rules with him... he's staying at home and waiting for a better deal, more to his liking.
He already played for a consistent winner and made great money... how many other teams can he go play for where his odds of winning will increase AND they'll pay him more money? He's burned his bridge in Pittsburgh and won't get to take that offensive line nor future HOF QB with him. I don't deny the guy has talent but I think he's rolling the dice with his career.
Fortunately for him, he will most likely be signed by a team that is already loaded with talent and just needs another gun or two in the armory.

"You can find dozens of 'missed' calls like this in every Pats* game."
There... that looks to be more accurate to me.
Don't get me wrong... when you're bad, you don't get breaks from refs. I very much equate officiating in the NFL with the way MLB umps calls strike zones. Great pitchers get close calls and the benefit of the doubt more often than not.
The Patriots are still one of the league's best and are treated accordingly... Late hits aren't late, holds aren't holds, interference isn't interference. Close calls on the field tend to go their way and don't get overturned due to insufficient evidence. I'm sure KC, Pittsburgh, the Rams, or any of the league darlings (winners or star players, aka ratings) could do the same to a team like ours and smile all the way.
Until this team starts flat out beating some competition, they won't get the calls/non-calls in their favor... Even on plays like the Edelman hit.

Whatever that means... he might stop trying? He might show emotion? He might start having two double Whoppers with cheese before each game instead of one?

OK, if there must be a sacrificial lamb, I nominate Gaines.
He's given up about 100 yards on two plays.

Man! He scored 7? I've got to post this part of the article:
Kelvin Benjamin scores a 7 With the 28th pick in the 2014 draft the Carolina Panthers select Kelvin Benjamin. Opinions like Wonderlic effectiveness are all over the board. On one hand you can't teach size. At 6'5" 243 lbs. it stands to reason he has all the physical tools. On the other hand, you apparently can't teach Kelvin Benjamin either. He turned in the worst score of any receiver in this draft.
I don't know what to think in regards to Kelvin Benjamin's potential in the NFL. The popular regurgitated jargon is at worst he's a solid #2,
and honestly who can complain about having solid #2's?-

Looking at the stands. You have to be a helluva loyalist to stick this out
Again, a Bills fan is the epitome of hope. Even those that just KNOW this team is doomed to fail still show up because they HOPE this is the game when things start to turn around. Bills fans are among the most loyal, hopeful in the league. Glad to be one of you.
Sooner or later, Pegula will get a winner on the field... I just hope it's sooner.

KB’s look on his face is one of a little B word
I'd bet you he honestly feels like he played a great game. If the QB had done a better job... he is a diva wide receiver but without the production.

Miller tackled his guy. Good technique
Hey, at least he was watching and learning while playing the Pats last week. It just doesn't work without their uniform on.

"We just need to keep working and do those things better."
He has expanded his post game repertoire lately to include "not acceptable" and "just not good enough". I guess he agrees with us, he just doesn't know how to fix it!

Just now, Wyo_Bills Fan said:
Benjamin is too slow and not a great route runner to be a starting Wr. He should be moved to TE where he can get better match- ups vs linebackers. He may still suck there, but might be a better option.
I've wondered that myself. He sure won't get it done on the outside. It's not like we have a log jam at TE or can't lose his production at WR.

So has Benjamin EVER made a play since he was traded for???
In fairness to him, he didn't make many before he was traded. I live in Panthers country. Folks were glad to see him go.

No, Brady would not make a difference, he’s be dead in 5 minutes.
It DOES make you wish you could see him play behind our line though!

They aren’t even trying to make me want to watch. And I’m really tolerant to bad football
And I think every reasonable Bills fan wasn't expecting much out of this year... the bar was already pretty low despite the playoff berth... and it's STILL disappointing.
Billsy.

Glad we won our games this season and won’t go winless
Seriously... even if it guarantees a #1 overall pick, I don't ever want to see the team go winless. Right now, I don''t see game on the schedule I feel good about (meaning competitive play). The Jets or Dolphins should be able to handle this team.

How many weeks do you think it will take the Bills to score 28 points? That's a lot of field goals...

This is how the only time in the rulebook that a hit in the back is legal. That should be called no matter what. It's illegal contact.
We'll have to wait until it costs Brady, Rodgers, or Brees a game in the playoffs... then, the NFL will consider a change.

Yep... Daboll playing scared plays right into Bears hands...
And we're not even having to face Mack, right?. Just think how bad it could be if he were out there? He would have had a career day if healthy... maybe even on one leg.

3rd straight game our O has given up a a TD!! ???
More than they scored. Sad...
We're big time masochists to be doing this to ourselves week in and week out. A Bills fan is the epitome of hope, even those that are predicting failure. We keep tuning in to entertainment that totally doesn't entertain and can't seem to stop!

I know it's an injury but this guy has been one of the biggest free agent whiffs I've ever seen the organization make. He's done nothing but cash checks successfully since he's been here. I can't wait to see us have an all pro tight end one of these days... I hope it's on Beane's epic to-do list.

And just like that this has become a 3 possession game
Sad... but true.

I love watching other teams convert those long third down opportunities.

Well, I'm out... thanks for giving a hopeless addict a place to commiserate on a long, sucky night.

Week 10 Bills @ Jets first half thread

From what I've seen of the Jets defense, they're good. I would not have guessed the Bills - especially with Barkley and other changes - would play like this.
Fun to see though!! I don't care if it hurts our draft position right now... we as fans NEEDED the shot in the arm. Losing seasons are a sucky thing.
