I do believe that financial gain influences almost every decision the NFL makes. I don't believe that this includes who wins/loses a particular game/games.
The reason I don't believe that happens is that financial gain also influences almost every decision an NFL player makes, too. None of them would stand to allow NFL decisions to affect performance bonuses they may lose based on fewer yards rushing/passing, fewer wins, fewer playoff bonuses, fewer Pro Bowl bonuses, etc. Not to mention playing for pride, for a feeling of accomplishment, for glory, for endorsements, etc.
I find it hard to believe that this type of collusion would remain secret for long. Too many paychecks involved.

My personal ultimatum?
If the Bills move out of Buffalo, I am done. (And I pray everyday that they move so that I can avoid the gut wrenching Mondays, or Tuesdays, or Fridays, and I can regain my Sundays to do as I please.)
As long as the Bills remain in Buffalo, I am doomed to watch and root for them.

Gutsy call. Too bad they puked...

Arians did say if he screws up one time, he's gone. Let's see if he backs his word.
As long as he is helping the team, and as long as Brady still likes him, of course Arians will give him "one more final chance." Money talks, and wins mean money.

I can't help but blame Josh Allen. If he would just instruct our running backs in how to leap over defenders, we wouldn't even need an O-line. Stupid Josh being lazy!
-
Prior to yesterday's game, weren't we the highest scoring team in the league? That seems to suggest we were doing something right, in my opinion.
I also think defenses have looked at the tape and have adjusted to what the Bills did well last year, so they've had to change it up a bit.

could win us a Super Bowl this season
I would trade Vernon Butler for Tom Brady, if the only criteria for a trade is what will help us win a Super Bowl.
- It would take Tampa Bay out of the competition
- I would LOVE to see Brady sitting on the bench the whole game high-fiving no one
Derrick Henry for the same reason, minus the bench sitting part obviously....

Why is Butler active again? So dumb.
Are they trying to showcase him for a trade?

Just local government covering their backsides giving people the illusion they have a say.
In my experience, these type of public commentary deals come up with three alternatives:
- Do nothing. (Play in the same stadium)
- A terrible alternative that no one wants. (Something like a floating stadium on Lake Erie)
- The alternative they wanted all along (A stadium in Orchard Park)
This way, they can say the public had the chance to have input on how their money is being spent, while knowing that they will get what the wanted from the beginning.
Sometimes, they may make minor changes based on public input, if they really like them (meaning they will make the plan cheaper or will result in more money being made.)

At one point after 2 or 3 flagless plays, the laundry flew and Al sarcastically said that we were due another flag...
Hard to argue with him. The Refs unnecessarily inserted themselves into the game and ruined the entertainment value and the flow with ticky-tacky phantom calls all over the field. The Bills had some amazing runs called back on the weakest of holding calls - who calls a hold on a center away from the play? Not only that, but Morse did his initial punch to the chest of the defender then just settled into his pass-pro stance.
That was it - I nearly choked when Collingsworth started babbling about when you grab a jersey during the replay of what was clearly a phantom call... Was wondering what the hell kind of hallucinogen is was tripping on.
They were effectively ruining the product - I cannot imagine that is what the NFL wants.
Then, he also stated something like that he himself could hold (legally) the shoulder pads all day and be able block everyone. I was absolutely astounded by that! Maybe I just misunderstood him?

They are based in Kansas City.

Our rushing attack is pretty great. Still 5th in rushing yards, which we've maintained for a couple of weeks now. Tied for 4th in TDs.
Does this include yards rushed by Josh Allen? If so, I don't think QB scrambles lead to as much punishment of the defenders as designed rushes by RB's. The blocking is different, plus Josh (hopefully) doesn't cause as much punishing contact as a running back would.

I'm willing to bet that even Herbert would laugh at the comment from Shefter. He doesn't seem like the type of person to get that full of himself, especially at this stage of his career.

2167, if memory serves. And mayn't at this point. Ha
Well, if MLB.com is to be believed, we are both wrong!
Gehrig played 2130 in a row after replacing Pippen. It was Ripkin who played 2632 in a row, a half century later.

If Brown plays another 2631 games in a row.....could be! 😉

Devil’s advocate:
What’s the difference between playing
Monday and then the following Sunday
VS
Sunday and then the Followimg Saturday?
The Monday schedule allows you a day of rest before the first playoff game AND you know who your next opponent will be before you play.
Something to be said for that.
Unless both teams play on Monday night, and then the following Sunday, the team having only 6 days off will be at a disadvantage.
If both teams play on Sunday, then the following Saturday, both teams only have 6 days in between, hence no team has the advantage.

What Isiah moving did was have the covering CB on him follow him RIGHT to where the play was being developed.
I would hope that the Bills staff would scout the opposition to see if the CB following an in-motion receiver follows him to the opposite side, or if he stops at the end of the line on his side and passes off the receiver to someone from that other side.
Does anyone know if the Steelers have a penchant for passing off a receiver in motion? Or did the CB sniff out the play on his own?

The offense is too good to have an unreliable pass catcher on the field.
Maybe Beane and McDermott figure that the offense is so good, they can make up for a drop here and there from Knox. Knox can atone for them with a big play?

Lol no. Sorry he’s not a rookie there’s nothing to be re-acclimated to. There was no preseason last year and Allen was an MVP candidate.
I think there is a difference when no one gets to play a preseason game, versus when the defensive units get to play some games while the quarterback plays zero snaps. Maybe not, but it seems like an advantage for those who get some live practice.

First Darnold, now Vinny Curry. Something in the New Jersey water?
Jokes aside, prayers for the veteran to make a full recovery and return to the field.
Oh, forgot to add: With Lawson out and now Curry, they would be so happy to take Addison for a late pick. I wouldnt mind that trade.
The Jets have some 'spleening to do!
Insane Stat of the Day Josh Allen.
