Holy crap, I get to see a game live!

Not sure how much she makes as an MMA fighter, but she should just go tryout for WWE.

I would have rather they just won.

Just bring a blank white sign and photoshop something clever in later.

I don't see the other two errors as being as big of a problem. Just like bad throws, fumbled snaps happen and his talent actually ended up making it a positive play. The overthrow to Watkins, while disappointing, can be viewed as ensuring that if Sammy couldn't get to it, nobody else could either. I'd rather see an overthrow than an underthrow or even a good throw that allows a CB to make an amazing play. All in all, he probably just missed without all the extra thought I'm applying to the situation, but at least it's possible.

As always, thanks for the write-up. This play really stuck out to me as scary. Really bad decision for this point in the game (with the lead, with Indy scrambling for points). The defender should have had the INT and there was a good shot at a pick 6. Bad throws happen, but that was a horrible decision by Taylor.

IMO, the best way to defend against that is to be aggressive at the line. Picks are about timing, throw off that timing and the play breaks down. You won't cover Gronk after a pick has successfully taken out his first defender.

This is exactly what Gronk excels at...mismatches and miscommunication. Bradham can't cover him and Gronk always finds his space in the handoff between LB and Safety. ALWAYS. Put one safety on the field, have Gilmore fill the other safety position and do nothing but stick Gronk. I don't even think Gilmore can completely shut him down, but it's better than doing the same thing that everyone else in the league keeps failing at game after game.

I like the confidence, but c'mon. People need to stop screwing around with Gronk and treating him like any other TE in the league. He's the number one WR on that offense and needs to be treated as such.

Almost nobody has moved on. Every conversation regarding the Pats very quickly turns to cheating.

I'll admit I may be giving the author a benefit of doubt he doesn't deserve, but factoring in the stat he brought up about how Luck was very good vs the blitz last year, I think the type of blitzing that was employed yesterday was especially important. Throwing Luck off guard with disguised blitzes was necessary to the results. For most of the QB's in the league, the Bills can pretty much bully their way to pressure, but it doesn't hurt our future opponents to have those disguised blitzes on tape, and slightly unfortunate that Rex had to employ them in the first game of the season. I say "slightly" because like you I think the Bills can get pressure on almost every team in the league pretty much any way they want.

First, I'm sorry to say as a long time Bills fan who has been punched in the nuts repeated for basically my whole life, those false starts are the first thing I think of as well. I'm so tentatively excited it almost hurts. I've read a couple of articles now that have mentioned how Rex was disguising blitzes/sending people from all over the place/delaying, etc.... It wasn't just pressure, it was the scheme. That is something you study on tape to try and prevent. He doesn't say the Bills won't be able to continue to get pressure, but I disagree that the scheme used yesterday had nothing to do with winning that game.

Maybe I'm missing it....where did he question their ability to bring pressure? Are you referring to the end where he said game tape will keep teams from being quite so blindsided? Hard to argue that, and it means nothing in terms of how much pressure the Bills will get. Unless I missed another comment elsewhere, I didn't read that nearly the same as you did. I am very encouraged by what I saw with TT, but I didn't like everything I saw. Just like every QB in the league, I can't jump on a guy's bandwagon until around half a season. I have great hope for him, but he made some throws yesterday that could have really hurt. What I want to see from Tryod is how he grows from game to game, and there's just no way to get around but to wait and see. Until then, I'll take notice of his good points and bad points. As for the article, I do think he went a little far to be critical of the offense, similar to what he did in his first article, but at least he something to back his opinion up.

Same author with his week 1 write-up. A much better read IMO, and while many will say that's because he talks nicer about the Bills, that's not really true. He's not nearly as high on TT as many in the media have been so far, and I appreciate his reasons for that and mostly agree with him. All in all, I think it's just the difference between writing an opinion piece with game tape in front of him vs throwing crap against a wall based on rosters. http://grantland.com/the-triangle/time-after-time-a-look-at-week-1-in-the-nfl/ (scroll down to second game write-up)

With the all the coaches we've had through here, that's crazy. Beating the snot out of an expected Super Bowl contender makes this such a great 1-0. Doing the same thing next week will be ridiculous!

Amen. IMO, the best time to discuss weaknesses in the game is after a win; it's a lot less whining at that point and just good football discussion. But not around here. Really?? There are way too many weapons on this team for Watkins to be a WR1 in fantasy points.

If you want my gun you'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead....

It's a TD. Just delayed a few seconds.

At least she had protection.

I know this is becoming completely off topic, but this coincidentally came up in FB feed today. What the hell is wrong with people?

That cop needs commendation for being the most patient person on the planet. I want to slap her 10 seconds into the video.

Doesn't work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unCVovtnsSA

Nah, their lawyer shouldn't let them talk while their lawsuit is ongoing.

Gym rat.

You keep talking about Murray. He has nothing to do with this conversation. Even if the Bills wanted him there's nothing saying he would come here. Whaley got the player he wanted and gave up a player they didn't need. Say what you want after this, I feel like I'm arguing about the color of ice, and I need to stop.
