agreed, I've lived in Chicago and now Appleton which is 30 minutes SW of Lambeau. Chicago is 10 degrees colder in winter and Appleton is 20 degrees colder. Jan-March absolutely sucks. routinely does not get above 0 for a high in Jan-Feb/snow never melts because it never gets above freezing either when it warms up a little and March never ends. In Buffalo St Patty's day is pretty much the end of winter but you have another month here- it just drags on. I'll take snow 3x/week over cold any year.

Oliver on fire

I had the same questions. Also, Saleh threw the challenge flag anyways which used to be a delay of game penalty.

I've thought this as well through the year. It helps make more sense as to why we are calling such poorly designed plays/game plans If OC/HC are stubbornly doing this every week thinking it will get better later and our talent will win games right now he just finally got a big enough 2 x 4 in the face last week to hopefully snap out of it.

38-6

if he wasn't held every play he would have the sack numbers. he gets slowed down just enough to get the pressure but not the sack

How would anything change? These guys do 17 games a year. That wouldn't change if they were full time. These guy spend a lot of time studying video and the rule book/updates etc year round. How would that change if they were hanging out in some ref office from January to August? in season they could work wednesday -sunday/monday to review every game together via zoom and be 'taught' what the error was, what the good call was, what should be done in the future. saturday-monday is travel and reffing their game. this way everyone is hearing the same thing at the same time from the same person. right now these guys sell insurance m-f, hop on a plane. get together Saturday night to watch some film, ref a game Sunday and go home. they get a report some time during the week and may be have a quick zoom call mid week with the highlights/low lights. this could easily be a full time 50hrs/week gig 7-8 months/year July/Aug-Jan/Feb with the rest vacation. at $200k/year i think that would be a sweet job. simple Continuous Improvement practices all season long

if thy are graded they are not improving and learning - same crews making same mistakes. crews are also not learning from other crews mistakes.

some sort of transparent grading system with consequences needs to be enacted. maybe there is an internal system right now but if there is it isn't working. i still go back to that jets cincy personal foul that cost the bengals the game- how is that called and not reviewed? it would have to be eased in or else everyone would be fired by season's end. The criteria should be: full time officials with minimum health requirements-pay them a little more and make them full time. i am sick of seeing 50-60 year old men trying to keep up with what is going on. definition of uniform standards on calls with year round training- they didn't call as much holding last year and the game was better- it shouldn't increase penalties and game time if done right adherence to uniform standards- no more this crew calls 3x as many PI as the next gradual increase in discipline for errors- you can't fire someone for one blown calls but there are certain refs/crews that just continually make horrible calls with no consequences increase use of eye in the sky to help them improve challenge method- the PI challenge trial a few years ago was quietly ended because no calls were ever overturned by refs protecting their decisions. this somehow has to be improved by taking it out of the field refs hands it will never be perfect but a billions dollar organization should be able to improve this. unless this is a feature and not a bug and they like the conversation, chatter it produces around the water coolers and chat rooms

no way, bojo can't hold- the packers are missing kicks left and right with him. the coach basically called out bojo 2 weeks ago after all the missed kicks in cincy. his punting is not where it needs to be but he is money on holds. 3pts

it was late but not after the INT. same exact play against us- no call- no good explanation from ref per coach mcD

Check out the helmet to helmet hit in cincy v jets. Jets rb intiated the hit with his helmet on the cincy player and cincy was flagged. Gave the jets the first down needed to ice the game.

he is a better holder that bojork-spelling our o-line played better after they called 2 illegal hands to the face on miami

i don't get it either. pulling through is ok but backing in is a 6ick move

Why fear Watson? he is most likely going to jail/banned from the league or paying a huge settlement/banned from the league.

until it matters late in the season and in the playoffs, there are a handful of teams, including us that have figured it out and have the correct personnel to defend it. too many other teams play their base defense and get shredded. no adjustments. GB did a good job last night- stayed in their lanes, collapsed the pocket.

Agreed , still 6-1 because i have King Henry, the Bills D, Jamarr Chase and Matt Stafford. i got cocky

i am worse, i ended up with gabe, beas and sanders. I cut sanders early bacause i thought beasley would be the man bacause he was targeted early.

just like it's spelled actually if you have lived in Buffalo long enough you should be able to say it- i had it as ka- sar- check when i first saw it so pretty close

he is the best talent evaluator, drafter, trader we have had in 30 years. we are a top 3 team in the league and can play with/beat anyone. we are set up for a 3-4 year super bowl window with a manageable cap. we have a +100 point differential do you prefer to go back to the russ brandon, buddy nix, doug whaley/ rex etc. clown shows?

I think that was the bigger picture. Josh carries the team but kerfuffled the last 2 drives: not taking what was given second to last drive and second to last play- Beasley was open second to last play but not sure if josh looked for him or was already past the l.o.s. he still turns into sugar high josh every once in a while. you can tell when the camera shows his face sometimes. we need someone -diggs or Knox to pull him a side and deep breathe with him or something because it is definitely noticeable.

all 3 WR's did not look happy after the play: was it because they lost or was it Josh checked out of a pass that looked like it would work and we lost? not trying to stir the kettle but it caught my eye how they all had the same hands on hips look.

agreed

our linebackers were confused and out of position all second half. they bit on king henry fakes and there was a huge zone in the center of the field for 20 yard gains on crossing routes. coaches never adjusted to bring a safety up into that zone and we never breathed on tannehill.

sweeney blocked no one as well. he missed the snap count or something. but yea, next time go right because they stacked across from mongo and schnowman.
