Some good stuff, some weird stuff, some awkward stuff. I love it all tho. 🤣 Shnowman is having a great year. OLine been playing very well. It helps to have McGovern next to him, who is having a heck of a year himself. That block at 6:06 😳 And it always surprises me how quiet players are out on the field. Or do they cut the audio out for some parts on this? For example, that entire dance at 6:30 and not even a peep?!? I was laughing at him working the ref. Making small talk like talking to a coworker at the office while waiting for a meeting to start. "Year is really going by fast. This waether is crazy. Aaaanyways..."

"House plants, they have their functions. They can be beautiful in the home. They can bring great beauty and value to a home. But the field corn: Just drop a seed in a crack of a sidewalk and it'll burrow down and come up with energy, then rise up in a stalk-like fashion and start producing." Makes sense... Everything is fine... 🤪

This is my thinking as well. What 2nd round rookie DL is playing as well as Williams? I get you need to ink him to at least a 3 yr deal, which will be expensive. But it's not like we have many other DTs.

While I dont agree with Colin Cowherd on much, he does have a great take on Sports Radio Callers. He calls them "The Wrong Guy". To get a call on Cowherd's show, you pretty much have to do nothing all day but try getting through, and then when you do get through, sit on hold for hours. Meaning, the type of person who gets on the air as a caller has made so many Wrong decisions in their lives that they now have nothing else to do than waste their whole day just to say one dumb opinion on a sports talk show. No job, no family, nothing else better going on. And now we have to hear their crappy opinion which is likely as well thought out as the rest of their life. When I listen to WGR, I am reminded of this take often.

This is what I was expecting when we gave Tampa the ball back with 31 seconds left. The stupid camera-hungry refs throwing a flag on a bomb that was never going to be caught. We see it every week.

haha i thought maybe you were just country and had a high standard for what "big yard" meant

uh what

oh damn, the first Friend down. RIP

I know what you mean, and I struggle to find the right adjective/description for it as well. There is a weird difference from what we are used to seeing in other places.

I wont be able to watch it until we win a SB. Same with most clips from the 90s, and especially The Four Falls of Buffalo movie. Can't/Won't watch until after we win. Maybe someday.

14 points is not a safe lead in this league nowadays. Need to be at least 3 scores up with 4-5min left before you can breathe easy. Great they scored out of the gate to start the second half. Otherwise we lose. Would have been nice to get into FG range any time after that is all I'm sayin.

My heart agrees with this, and that it's better for the game. I dont want robots calling Holding on every play. But man, the officiating lately has been killing me. To the point that I get frustrated seeing the refs so often even when it's against the other team. Just let them play. I think the answer is full time refs doing more group work to get calls more consistent.

3 more points, any time in the 2nd half, and the game is over. Everyone can breathe. The vibe among the fanbase is totally different. 4 drives and we couldnt even get into FG range. Yikes.

Agree on everything, except the blatant PI. That happens on every Hail Mary, and it goes both ways. Refs know the Offense AND Defense are both jockeying for position. So very very unlikely they ever make that call. You simply arent going to avoid the contact on Hail Marys and luckily that is already understood.

They can get better play out of lesser players, but have trouble getting players with decent pedigrees where they need to be. Every player is different, and needs different things. I'm sure plenty of the blame is on Elam. But I dont trust McD much with his early assessments. Similar to the line "Sean McDermott is the type of coach who can take a bottom-5 roster to a wild card. But also the type of coach who will take a top-5 roster to the wild card".

McDermott's team has issues with basics like tackling with wrapping up, and blocking without holding. We are no where near the level of Reid and Belichick, who regularly quiz their guys with all sorts of weird, random situations, and who practice every situation.

I've been making "need 6 inches" posts since last night and someone FINALLY made a joke. You win.

It's not inexplicable. It was obvious that it happened because Mayfield is so short, and Phillips had him long enough for the play to be whistled dead. But it was allowed to continue, and Mayfield kept squirming and ducking until his helmet was at Phillips's hand level. Much like how Mayfield was able to escape Floyd's sack earlier when Floyd went right over the top of him due to being so short. Im not going to bash JP on that one. It was a fluke. And the refs were giving the Bucs every chance on that drive so they could score and cover that -9.5 spread.

Donald Faison from Scrubs with the famous and legendary friendship with Zach Braff? Yes that's him.

lol

It isnt. Key phrase in my post was "for McD's taste". Infuriating. If one thing has been made clear, it's that McD does not have an alliance with the clock. That is a far more adversarial relationship.

I'll also add to this thought, I firmly believe Elam is a better player than the Bills have allowed him to be. And the coaching is doing more to ruin him than develop him.

Way too aggressive for McD's taste. He'd rather "play not to lose". Gotta give them those easy sideline gains so they can move down the field and it comes down to the last play. Otherwise it doesnt count.

If you're going to throw it short, you at least need a route that is going vertical to hope, at the very least, the receiver's momentum gets them the 1st. We're throwing short on crosses running horizontally that have no chance of turning up field. It's little crap like this, that should be basic *****, that our coaches miss. This is all so nitpicky by us fans, but it's also basic and obvious.

"Josh Running" IS the added Offensive weapon we've been missing all season. Opening that back up is like adding a pro-bowl player to the squad.
