  1. I was there sitting near that goalline and all the Niners fans stood up, as did my Bills' fan friend. I just sat there and told my friend "Please tell me it's being called back"
  2. But let's keep going with the dumb Thursday games where for most teams they have only 3 days off between games. Their history has had most games be a home team blowout. It's gotten ridiculous how the greedy owners just care about making more money and don't care about the product on the field.
  3. Despite being a long-time Bills' fan, I had previously seen numerous replays and I thought it had been proven to me that the call was correct. I just looked at a few replays again, and based on the stated interpretation of the rule it is again shown to be correct. However, I don't think I agree with the interpretation of the rule. They say it's based on the flight of the ball. Wychek is standing just behind the 25 yard line and turns perpendicular to the end zone before throwing so they say when he released the ball, it was over the line. Where Dyson catches it, it is over the line. From certain angles it appears that the ball does travel slightly backwards but I'm not sure. Of course, the optics are affected by Dyson reaching back for the ball so when you see Wychek's feet behind the line and Dyson's feet are over the line, it seems like a no-brainer forward lateral. Had Wychek thrown the ball where Dyson was standing, it would've been an easy call. As far as the rule being based on position of the ball, I guess it's similar to the goal line. A player can be stopped with his feet outside the end zone but if he reaches over the line with the ball, it's a TD. If a player's feet are in the end zone but the ball doesn't cross the goaline, it's not a TD. On this play, where the ball is when it's caught is the decider. I'm just not convinced that where the ball was when Wychek released it is further over the line than where Dyson caught it. The play lives on infinany. Hope this doesn't bring back nightmares for anybody.
  4. With all the firings, maybe the dog thought he was next?
  5. There's also the angle of the Chargers coach was the Bills interim coach for one game and got thrown to the wolves to have to answer about Tyrod benching. Doubt he had anything good to say about the Bills and wouldn't be surprised if it was along the lines of "We want you here but if not, you don't want to go to Buffalo"
  6. Training camp isn't for another 2.5 months. I guess these 3 did not show well at the veteran minicamp?
  7. I think they may have to also throw in a 7th in 2021.
  8. Anybody know if he's related to the Oakland A's Billy Beane??
  9. So, he had Ralph's ear and that's why they kept overpaying Kelsay?
  10. Were the games televised or did you just read about it?
  11. So has Vic said anything about the GM search??
  12. The former Sabres defenseman?
  13. So, then they'll probably go 10-6 but still miss the playoffs and pick is around 20.
  14. He supposedly has small hands which would be a deterrent playing in Buffalo weather. Jake Browning of Washington should not be overlooked. PAC-12 Player of the Year leading the Huskies to the Pac-12 Title and a berth in the College Football Playoff. Had 43 TD passes. Will be going into his junior year. Admittedly I'm biased because he played in high school right down the road from me in Folsom, CA
  15. It's lame but not you posters! The further I read, the more I laughed, finally bringing me to tears. ONE funny bunch.
  16. Yeah, they signed Brandon Marshall, still have ODB, with Sheppard as a slot guy AND they drafted Engram.
  17. Fred Jackson's 38 yard run in OT vs the Bears in 2014 where he stiff-armed Chris Conte and knocked him on his butt. Fred was knocked out of bounds on the one yard line to set up the game winning field goal.
  18. He had a sports hernia last season. Can someone explain how some players are just cut while others have to go thru waivers? Did Barnidge clear thru waivers without being claimed?
  19. Happy birthday John! Hope you're having a great day!
  20. Or he has an injury in the last preseason game (Wink, wink) and goes on IR.
  21. This new math perplexes me. 4 + 3 + 7 = 17? In "old math" it was 14.
  22. So, Monos was let go also?
  23. There's also Lamar Jackson of Louisville.
  24. I know it was early in Whaley's tenure but one of his worst moves was when the Kevin Kolb concussion left them with EJ, Thad Lewis and Tuel at QB, there was no fallback plan and Tuel had to start a game. That was horrible.
