  1. 50"? What's that, like...a yard and a half? I mean, we basically already have a bunch of guys that can do that. Especially on 3rd and 8.
  2. It's pretty fascinating that I haven't heard much negative about The Athletic since it started. I'm not a subscriber so I don't know, but I find that interesting.
  3. It’s time to retire the Shout song.
  4. I think John Murphy is one of the worst play-by-play announcers out there. He has a poor sense of the moment, and his expressions when the Bills do something great are completely underwhelming.
  5. I thought the Cards GM went on the record to say that he would not be cut...I don't think they want to pick up that dead cap figure...
  6. The 3rd rounder is what makes this so interesting. I'm starting to come around to it as well, though we do have several big contracts coming up soon...
  7. I'm pretty sure if 538 assessed down, distance, yard line, and game situation, and took into account the instant this image was taken, they'd probably give the Bills a 99% chance of winning the game. Ugh.
  8. This was a perfect call at the perfect time with perfect execution...except for that one little detail. I looked at it from the end zone angle, too. Josh has a really good chance of going the distance on that play. Could you imagine if that happened?
  9. I'm just going to leave this here for you all to ponder...
  10. I hate having an odd number of games. Like @May Day 10, I like the even-numbered schedule and the math that goes with it. Not that it matters, though...it's going to be 17 games no matter what, at this point.
  11. I just want to see Brady leave the Pats**** so there will never, ever be the possibility of the Brady-led Pats**** achieving their one ultimate goal: a perfect season.
  12. Very happy about this. And I agree, the hire was so fast you know McDermott had this guy in his sights for a while.
  13. Glad most folks are agreeing on the missed block. There's also the missed helmet-to-helmet that should have been called on Cunningham on that play, so it's actually a two-fer. That 15-yard penalty would have put us in FG range.
  14. Not the way I saw it. Borderline elite? Hardly.
  15. I could not possibly disagree with this more. The blocking was the main problem in the second half.
  16. Not particularly, but I’m not talking about the season. Just this game. Like I said, the game was lost many ways, coaching being one. I think the coaching in the second half was poor. I just think it was the poor blocking, play after play, that really derailed this one.
  17. Coaching of the blockers? Sure, I can go with that.
  18. backwards or parallel to your own end zone.
  19. I thought it was going to be 56 yds, but someone else here said maybe 52.
  20. In the first half, sure. Not in the second half. And the Texans didn't lose because they could convert a 3rd and 18, and by escaping a certain sack.
  21. The problem as I see it is that Daboll relies too much on pass plays (like this one) that takes too long to develop. You can do that when you have a strong offensive line that can give their QB the time for that to develop. It should have been clear to him in the second half that the line was seriously struggling to block anyone, and not to rely on slow developing plays.
  22. And there's no reason he shouldn't have known that.
