Welcome to Utah.

Basically, as I understand it (and I could definitely be wrong), a "spot foul" depends on where the ball ends up compared with where the foul occurred. So on a return, for instance, if a spot foul happens ahead of where the ball ends up being downed, then the penalty yards are marked off from where the ball is downed. So for instance, if on a kickoff return the foul occurs at the 20 yard line, but the runner only makes it out to the 15, then the yards are walked off from the 15 (the farthest the ball advanced). On the flip side, if the ball is downed ahead of where the spot foul occurs, then the yards are marked off from where the penalty occurred. So for instance, if the foul occurs at the 20 yard line, but the returner makes it all the way out to the 30, then the yards are walked off from the 20 (where the foul occurred). That, I believe, is what a spot foul is.

Me too!

If we want to re-sign Hughes, that'll be it for the big FA signings. You'll have to look at second-tier guys at that point.

Very unlikely that Schwartz would stay if Marrone is fired and they don't offer him the HC job. Another HC would very likely want their own DC, not to mention the rest of the staff.

Now that is cool.

Pretty much agree with that. We have the opportunity to keep almost all of the defense together for a few years, which means we can concentrate on the offense. One or two guards, a tight end, and (of course) a QB, and we're set.

Stayin'

If all of that happens, I just might soil my undergarments.

The thing is, in all of those hyped up games the Bills seem to come out flat, unprepared, and undisciplined, which really just pisses me off. If Denver comes out on Sunday and just flat out beats us up and proves they are the better team, I'll be bummed. But if the Broncos pummel us because we make stupid mistakes, play out of position, miss tackles, and waste golden opportunities, I'll be pissed.

I don't know, man. Brady and the Pats* scored 37 against our vaunted D, on the road. Manning at home? Doesn't look good.

Now we get Bill posts before games as well as after? Sweeeet. Totally agree, this would be a victory of enormous proportions. I just wish I had a wee bit more confidence in our offense against their defense, which in their home stadium is going to be just as vicious as ours.

Sweet!

Even if RGIII was available for a mid-round draft pick, as some experts are saying? (Not saying I want RGIII, just asking.)

If Peyton is surgical and puts up a ton of points because of great execution, I'll be disappointed but not angry. However, if the Bills show up for this HUGE game and, like they seem to do every time there is a huge game, make dumb mistake after dumb mistake and just look unprepared and undisciplined, THEN I will be upset. Like I am every time there's a huge game.

Friggin' Jets.

Well, at least we have a good offensive line to protect his fragile butt.

I'd go so far as to say Denver needs this game as much as we do. The reason: Because we're just looking to make the playoffs, while Denver is looking to make the Super Bowl. They need home field advantage for that.

The jaw-dropping stat for me is that, if the Bills win one more game, it will be the first time in 10 freaking years that we've hit 8 wins. 8 wins. That's just half the games. Not even that, in ten freaking years. An entire decade.

WOW that was a terrible explanation.

Holy crap, I didn't realize that was the new description. Based on that, they completely screwed up that call, no question at all.

BOOM goes the dynamite

I am 100% in favor of this as well. I'd take a loss to the Pats* if it meant we kicked the tar out of Brady.

Huge. Looked like Hoyer got shot in the chest with a shotgun.

Denver looks like they're in a different league tonight. Offense and defense will have to play the game of their lives to survive that one next week.
