So, it’s actually legal to put a player like Elam on IR for a fractured ego?

I felt the same way after the McCaffrey trade. The Niners are in salary cap heaven, at only about $160M vs the $196M cap. They have only 3 players (Bosa, Armstead, T. Willams) at over $10M and their starting QB is making $890K.

How? If this is a standard Hail Mary play, the Bills should know how to defend it. Why was Bernard responsible for Godwin? He was trailing him. If Tampa was able to execute it properly to Evans and he tipped it forward, Godwin was right there. Bernard wasn’t in the play until he knocked him over. The short jump guy was double-teamed and mugged. They could’ve called P.I. on a couple of the Bills there. They were lucky nobody touched it. Evans is 6-5. They should’ve had someone taller on him to knock the ball down if it came to him. Before the snap, the announcer said the Bills had multiple players standing near the goal line, so why wasn’t one of them on Godwin instead of Bernard with 2 guys on the short guy and 3 around Evans? All this video showed me was that the Bills were lucky that Tampa wasn’t able to execute the play. The Bills played it poorly and could’ve been called for P.I.

I was recently thinking the same thing. If they’re all not on the same page, that could be causing problems. I did notice on the broadcast they showed Josh talking on the bench with Brady, who was showing him something on the tablet.

It’s somewhat surprising, too. When he became Commish he levied some heavy suspensions/fines. Then, there may have been too much criticism so he became more lenient (Ray Rice). Then you never knew what he was going to do as he was Al, over the place (Brady gets 6 games for Deflategate). I don’t think the NFL uses focus groups but maybe they should. Most fans don’t like the crappy football that’s usually played on Thursdays but it’s big bucks so they don’t care.

Didn’t see anything about game balls. I would give one to those in attendance. They were really loud. A few times I could barely hear the announcer. 🏈

It may become 9” when… no, I won’t go there.

The play went on as nobody could hear the whistle and it looked like the Bills were going to sack Baker.

No, you could assume it was going to be a Hail Mary but what if they tried scoring with laterals? You wouldn’t want those guys out there.

EJ Manuel was very successful at it for some reason.

Yes, on one of his early snaps, I thought he looked just as slow as me.

And then the broadcast shows Diggs saying something to Josh. ”There he goes again with a timeout when we don’t need one”?

Why does Stevie Wonder care about how he looks if he can’t see it?

I have been patient with the offense and the play calls but I’ve finally had it with Dorsey. 4th down near the goal line and there’s Josh in shotgun with an empty backfield. The following pass was actually close to being a pick six. Ugh! I don’t understand why you don’t have a RB in the backfield to at least show the threat of a run. In that small space of the end zone, how many receivers can you really have out in that situation?

Do they allow cross sports trades if the NFL owner also is an NHL owner?

Remember that in the 2021 season, the Bills were struggling at 7-6, with the AFC East all bunched up. The Bills won their last 4 games to finish 11-6 and win the division. Despite any McD shortcomings, his teams have finished the season strong. The 2017 season look3d hopeless after the Peterman debacle in LA and blowout losses to New Orleans and Baltimore. ”Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills!”

Where’s John Brown?

I think it’s better to get proven NFL talent vs unproven drafted rookies anyways.

I’m surprised there were so many posts before anyone mentioned it. The American education system 😩

He needs those picks so he can trade up in the draft for a player that he’s overrated

Yeah, whatever got Diggs pissed off earlier, I’m surprised we haven’t heard more from him the way the last 3 weeks have gone. Of course, he’s still getting his targets.

Josh needs to be like Kirk Cousins tonight, spreading it around the field, even though Addison had a bulk of the receptions. We don’t know what Josh is seeing but I again noticed on some replays that there were one or two guys open short that he ignores.

Are some of you guys in an alternate universe? After every loss, McD says “It’s on me. It starts with me.” The problem is we haven’t seen anything different the last couple weeks.

He’s said that numerous times.

Yeah, before this game, most of the looks Kincaid was getting, he’d catch the ball about 2 or 3 yards short of a first down, then try to work his way for the needed yards but fail which made no sense. I didn’t understand why, with most looks on 3rd down, why he wasn’t going past the first down marker.
