I've been 1000 miles away for 17 years. You tell me!

Yes. Everyone pays the NFL a BUTTLOAD of money for an ever-decreasing amount of highlights and access. Ever since the league launched their own channel, NFLN, they have been cutting access and increasing prices in order to push viewers to NFLN. That is why ESPN coverage of the NFL has nose-dived compared to the 90s of classic NFL Primetime. ESPN is only allowed to show the extensive highlights on Primetime on their ESPN+ app, not on cable TV. That kind of stuff.

Absolutely. All of these details were in the contract. And I get it. Major networks like ESPN have to abide by all the details and rules. If McAfee wants to make the money and play with the big guys, he needs to run his business appropriately. But... It's just silly, and a short-sighted business move, for the NFL to not grant it's best marketer some leeway. Especially on that format.

This is how I've been seeing it as well. Add an All-Pro CB to this defense. Already under team-friendly long term deal. Didnt have to spend anything to get him. If we cant make any other moves, this is a decent consolation prize.

I havent seen every graphic ever made, but not that I've seen. And that doesnt follow McAfee's MO (up to this point) of being an evangelist for the NFL. As far as I know, it was only stats and match-ups.

I thought this was going to be about the classic Elmwood/Buffalo bar, Cozumel. Good times.

Capital(ism) F!

He's misused Simp and Gaslighting so far. Someone take this boomer's internet access away before he starts trying to floss dance. 🤣

Are you guys not getting paid to post here?

We get the "black & white", you signed a contract, point of this. I'm not going to argue with you on that. We all get that. It's the most basic way of looking at this. The point of discussion is that the Trillion Dollar NFL is once again shooting itself in the foot for something they could easily smooth over at no cost of their own, and even garner more good will. It's marketing and advertising. They pay a ton for it anyways. It's a short-sighted, greedy move. Sure, they have "the right" to do it, but that doesnt make it "right". But I look forward to the upcoming "NFL Dirt" segments and discussions that will be coming.

I've been saying it a lot lately. If you are a football fan of any kind, Pat McAfee is a national treasure. Whether it is on his show covering mostly NFL, or on College Gameday, or any of the other shows he participates in... He is well-informed, has the players-chops to back it up, he is quick and witty, and always entertaining. Doesnt say controversial stuff just for the attention, because he doesnt have to. Of course the NFL is going to eff around. Now they are about to find out.

Theyre on for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, with millions of listeners. That generates a lot of advertising revenue.

The Pat McAfee show was notified by the NFL, that even though the show pays the NFL $4M/yr to use clips and copyright material, the show is NOT allowed to use team logos in the graphics they make. SMH... Pat McAfee is the best thing FOOTBALL (college and NFL) has going towards marketing their products. Of course the NFL wants to mess that up. I love McAfee's response "I dont think we've touched on many subjects we could have that we now will in the offseason. Such as CTE and insurance and the NFL being held accountable for the things they should be accountable for. Guess we'll start talking a lot more about that stuff."

WOW

Which is all the Bills players should have kept saying to him instead of getting wrapped up in his little game and taking stupid penalties and trying to force stuff. Including Josh. Diggs playing angry has worked so far. Starting with doing Ramsey so dirty on national TV and rolling from there. Last night was the first time it seemed to come back and bite the Offense. But we were up by 17 points at the time sooo.... 🤷‍♂️

When you are this far ahead of Yolo in a post game thread, it should tell you something.

Not important enough for me to look it up, but you have enough of the info you need to find it yourself Keep us posted

A practice squad TE

Or just a blatant ignorance of how football works?

How did they score their 2 TDs?

We didnt and we won. As a matter of fact, against KC, our coaches entered a chess match that saw both teams adjust and re-scheme multiple times throughout the game. And ultimately it was our re-scheming by Frazier that secured the victory. If a weak team wants to do dumb ***** and lose themselves the game, we will let them.

This. It was noticeable in the quick sideline interview with LeFleur after halftime, when the reporter asked him what the team had to do to comeback in the 2nd half, he was speechless, didnt know what to say, and then gave some stammering response about taking it one play at a time. They were just trying to get out of there without getting blown out.

Sure, we'd like to stuff those runs, but the scheme was to play the pass. 5-10 yards with the entire play happening in front of the defenders, as opposed to getting deep behind them, is a win. I dont think they were that upset either.

Bills went up 24-7. Only chance for the Pack to come back would be through the air so Buffalo shut that down. Let the Pack run and eat the clock all they wanted while only scoring 10 2nd half points. What happened on Defense? They won the game. Maybe not 100% perfectly executed on tackling, but they still won the game. Points >>> Yards
