what was a clean hit 15 years ago is not considered a clean hit today. I don’t agree with it either but thems the rules. Hearing the same chorus of complaints here after every penalty from the same people who don’t bother to know or read the current rules is infinitely more annoying than the NFL’s stance on some of these hits.

What’s everyone think about that call?! I bet I can guess

well you need 2 gunners. And yeah Kumerow can play gunner, lots of guys can do it. Very few do it as well as Jones. That makes him less expendable than you think. And even with Jones on the team, I think the Bills will keep all the wideouts you’re wanting them to keep, including Kumerow.

Exactly. Many of the problems are with the rulebook itself as well as how the league advises refs how to enforce certain things. No one wants to hear about that though it’s just always “ThE ReFs SuCk!!W!!T!!F”

Wait until the Fromm show begins. May get interesting (and not in a good way.)

Dang. Hope A Williams is okay

Very true. As are many other defensive penalties. But as I know you know - as far as enforcement goes, any kind of hit that late and that low on the QB is gonna get called. I don’t agree with it either btw, but I know that gets called nowadays.

Wow lotta people here haven’t read the rulebook in a couple decades.

But the one thing he does (special teams) he’s excellent at. Cut him to keep a back that may get 0-3 touches a game? Nah.

Curious to see some more A. Williams.

well that’s sorta the reason they brought him in.

The holding call? That was Oliver I believe.

Can’t even blame Al Riveron anymore. Of course, Walt is no upgrade.

haha yes. Couldn’t have said it better. It’s just a relief listening to interviews like this Beane one and then thinking…yeah, seems like he knows what he’s doing. May seem like a small positive but as you know, wasn’t a guarantee around here for a looong time.

Love McAfee. Beane is the man. I struggle because I can usually find at least one negative about a Bills GM or head coach given the last 20 years but…cant right now.

game is fantastic. Anyone calling out “nerd’ in this thread is probably too idiotic to grasp the rules.

Well, WELL worth it. Its iconic at this point great game.

Just wait till Mayfield or Jackson sign their deals. Honestly comparing these contracts is not gonna get anyone anywhere. They’re all based on timing and salary cap more than anything else.

Well no I would not need to watch just one game. Need a larger sample size than that. And if he really is that lights out as you claim after seeing him in a couple of games, the question remains why are the Jags eager to ship him away? Maybe it is just a factor of the regime change in Jax, maybe not. As for Jackson, I really don’t have any high expectations of him as a very late draft pick. And even if I did, well, see above on sample size. He hasn’t played nearly enough for me to make a judgment about his meeting any expectations. but your grand football mind seems capable of making snap judgments on players whilst watching from your couch, so you tell us.

Missed half of last season. Didn’t play all that great the other half. If they will take a late round pick for him fine. Otherwise, what has he shown as a pro so far to warrant a high price?

I get you. I suppose it may have been a better idea to get a high round rookie DB to try to push Wallace for cb2 rather than going DE/DE/DE at the top of the last two drafts. Too late for that now though. I hope all that investment in the DL can make his job easier indirectly.

and levi was an undrafted free agent. What’s your point

yes i agree with that. Levi is not beating back all pros. He’s fighting off the guys getting in there to take his job; what more do you want from the guy. He’s not that bad btw for a 2nd corner some of yall think Beane is just going to pluck another tre white out his whatever. Doesn’t work like that.
