  1. It was a unique situation with the game involving the team that had eliminated us just a week ago against the one team the Bills have been chasing, and playing in a Championship game we wanted to be in. Lots of factors pushing what was likely hundreds of frustrated venting postws into the game thread. There was another live thread that was essentially dedicated to those comparisons and why the Bills weren't good enough to be there and how to fix that, etc. and it ended up working pretty good so that folks had a couple options of what they wanted to discuss and where to do it without washing out other people's conversations. The request was placed in both threads and in both titles. I also sent out dozens of individual PMs asking people to not do that in that thread until eventually it just became too much. You can be sure that you were not the only one who was temporarily locked out until after the game.
  2. You can gain competitive advantages from false starts or illegal formations, but the 41st second on the play clock is completely irrelevant.
  3. No, I'd be pretty pissed that we gave up a 4th/8 to lose a game and wouldn't care less that it happened one second later.
  4. Love the Acme quality idea but I'd be concerned about Belichik figuring a way to make it blow up in Morse's face with 3 seconds left.
  5. I didn't think I was going to like it when they stared foregoing measurements, making quick judgment calls and giving the O the benefit of the doubt with first down calls, but it's been one of the few things they've successfully done to keep the game moving and the momentum building. I hope the OCD fans don't start squawking about this also when they feel wronged while looking at their angled sideline views.
  6. Yeah, he doesn't have much wiggle room when it comes to arm strength
  7. Because it inevitably ends up turning the live game thread into yet anther Bills B word fest. People like to have a thread to talk about the game being played and introducing Bills content into it then makes it difficult or impossible to follow and talk with others about the game itself. There are dozens of threads people can select to discuss any aspect of the Bills they wish, keeping one free of that for a few hours so that folks can discuss a game they are watching is a nice option for us to have. Nobody loses, everybody wins. 🤙 The only problematic part of it is me missing watching the game myself because I'm trying to keep the game thread clean (my computer and TV are not in the same room). I probably missed over 50% of both games yesterday trying to provide a clean thread for people, and I'm trying to figure out another way to provide this service without screwing myself over at the same time. I do not want that to continue going forward, so it's possible that kind of janitorial work may be discontinued. 🤷‍♂️
  8. Mahomes sees the whole field better than anybody else in the world right now.
  9. These guys can get on the line and snap the ball in 10-12 seconds when they want to. The difference between 40-41 seconds is meaningless, imo.
  10. I'd dig my spikes out of the garage for that. 👍
  11. Those are infractions for which a team can gain a legitimate competitive advantage. One second on the play clock does not fall under that category, imo. Now this, I am on board with.
  12. Who cares. It's a single second of inactivity. So what?
  13. The repeated pearl clutching over 1 meaningless second of game time never ceases to amaze me. Do we really give a ***** about this?
  14. The last two playoff spots will probably come down to Pitt, Wash and Buff.
  15. You cannot jack a guy in the back when both of you are sprinting OB; it's a dangerous play and a clear penalty every time.
  16. He might have been pregaming at halftime too
  17. I was jumping off the couch yelling "I cant believe he did it; you f'ing moron" before the flag even came in (my wife was going what? what happened?! what did he do?!-)
  18. Penalty yards were 71-55 The Chiefs got the better of it but often times that's the result of being a better team with better players being smarter when they're in better position
  19. So can they; they've seen it plenty of times
  20. I think he couldn't believe his eyes that somebody actually did something that incredibly stupid right in front of him He might also have been 15 yrds away and that oldmanthrow took a while to get home
  21. You typed that .10 seconds faster than me
  22. When you coach your team to try and injure people, you eventually get what you deserve
  23. Same ol Bengals What a bunch of dumb *****
