[Troy Aikman wants your dresses off 🤣]

"Roughing the passer" should be direct strike to head/knees, late hit, or egregious/violent intent. 

 

Making "roughing the passer" reviewable would be as silly as challenging pass interference. Nor should officials have the option to use replay (targeting in college is more consequential). It would kill pace of play.

 

Most important change is getting rid of the "no driving into ground or falling on QB" stipulation. It's been the slippery slope.

[Hilarious---Bills do not have a "qualifying player" for punting statistics]

Have to factor in turnovers.

[Running Backs Being a Dime a Dozen ??]

RBs are not a dime-a-dozen, and Bills absolutely must figure out the run game/OL in order to execute in the playoffs. Go-patterns and blow-outs are fun in the regular season, but the team still has that soft underbelly. 

 

It should also be said the Bills RBs, specifically, are a dime-a-dozen which is part of the problem.   

[The Minkah Theft - Question?]

Great question. I see numerous replays and continue to wonder who had  possession, when they established possession, and when the play was officially over. Does tie go to WR? It looked to me like Fitzpatrick had possession with two feet down before Davis wrestled it away. I don’t care to know the actual answers, it’s just an interesting debate.

[Hot take: Shakir should be the starting slot receiver going forward]

I agree it’s Shakir’s time. McKenzie needs to settle back into a support role and enabled to excel in specifically designed packages.

[Spotlight on Roger Saffold---WTF is he doing on the 98 yard TD pass?]

Beane got duped by Saffold in his contract year. Now Bills are stuck with a washed vet who’s apart of the worst run blocking OL in the league.

[Trade Deadline (Nov 1) Bills Rumors / Speculation]

Fans can have guys like Beckham and McCaffrey in their interwebs world, but in reality, Bills need OL help.

[Davonte Adams should be suspended a game]

Not criminal. He should be fined severely by the league and a significant (private) gesture made to the guy that went down. If the guy chooses to sue or press charges, well then the silliness can play out apart from the league.

[Spotlight on Roger Saffold---WTF is he doing on the 98 yard TD pass?]

Saffold has been a bust.

[Week 6: Bills at CHIEFS 10/16 4:25pm]

Mahomes against this banged up Bills secondary is appropriate for Halloween.

[Early Bills/Chiefs line: Bills +1(UPDATE: Now Bills -3 post KC/LV Game)]

So nauseated by all these games at KC. Not sure I can stomach this one. Take the Chiefs.

[Brandin Bryant signed 1 year contract]

Good to see. He should've been on the roster from the jump.

[Philadelphia Eagles Schedule is a Joke]

Looks like Bills schedule from last year.

[Steelers @ Bills Game thread - First half]

Not a bad game plan to literally throw at Elam every play.

[10/9/22 Gameday Steelers at Bills Pregame Thread]

Probably an ugly one today with all these injuries. The danger with Pickett is he won’t hesitate to sling it downfield and put pressure on Bills D.

[Week 5: Steelers at Bills 10/9 1pm]

25 minutes ago, CaliBills said:

I have a feeling Poyer being out is cautionary.  

 

he would play if it was KC or playoffs.  

I’d approach it exactly the opposite if it was strategic. Ensure the Steelers win and then rest for two weeks with the bye. Bills are getting smoked in KC either way.

[Predict the score BILLS - Steelers]

I need to modify my original score to something uglier. Bills win 23-12.

[Bills sign Dawson Knox to 4-year $53.6 mill extension ($31 mill gtd) through 2026]

Very disappointing start to the season for Knox. Also, it’s wild the Bills still don’t have any other TEs.

[Chance encounters with current/former Bill players. Did it change your opinion of them?]

I was around Andre Reed at a sports bar in NYC. He was annoying.

[Any Week 5 Upsets?]

It's hard to gauge "upsets" with so much parity (mediocrity) around the league. I'll go with Cards over Birds.

[All-22 Grades for Bills/Ravens (The Athletic)]

I haven't noticed Epenesa in a couple games now. It appears his disappearing act continues this year.

[Who does Tre take over for when he returns?]

White replaces Elam/Benford, hopefully soon after bye week.

[Allen is the Bills only short yardage option]

I don't trust Allen in short yardage. He tends to panic (sugar high) and prone to fumbles/gaffes.

[Four Weeks into the NFL Season, and it still remains a "Prove It" league]

My thought is that the league is vastly mediocre with a couple elite teams and a couple awful teams. End result is that games are difficult to predict and parity rules the day.
