I’ve been against bringing in that prima donna in the past, but, other than Diggs, I don’t think opposing defenses are too concerned about facing our WRs. I really expected Davis to shine this season coming off that awesome playoff game. He’s been dinged but has only 8 receptions in 3 games, with only 1 in this game. He was only targeted 3 times. Did he only play a limited number of snaps, was he not getting open or did Josh just look elsewhere?

It’s probably been mentioned, but this thread is up to 39 pages, so: do the Bills have a QB sneak in their playbook? 4th and one, your QB is 6-5, 240+ lbs and he rolls out to the left then has to outmaneuver defenders and runs about 30 yards to get the first down? He should be able to lean left or right of the center and pick up a yard. Great run to watch but it’s ridiculous to not run a sneak.

He’s sat next to him since the start of the season. I don’t know why he wasn’t there last week when Dorsey lost it.

So many people say McDaniel is refreshing because he’s a straight shooter. He apparently got defensive and upset when questioned about Tua having a concussion on Sunday and allowing him to play 4 days later. He said he’d never do that to a player. So, is he lying and his “straight shooter” reputation false? Or is someone above him working the strings? I’m not a doctor but regarding Sunday, I’ve never heard of people getting rubber legs from a back injury. We all saw the back of his helmet hit the turf. First he staggers, then collapses, and they put him back in to start the 2nd half? So, if it truly was a back injury, after that behavior, it still doesn’t make sense why they put him back in that game. Now, Thursday it’s considered neurological and they say he’s flying home with the team? Geez! If Dane Jackson was hurt in a road game, I wonder if he would’ve flown home the same day?

Thanks for the info. In another game this past weekend I witnessed something I’d seen before regarding a 10 second runoff. Reviews in the last 2 minutes are from the replay center and not called by a team. They reviewed a close play and afterwards did a 10 second runoff. Why should any team be penalized with this runoff when neither asked for the replay review? The ref says “By rule…”. Well, they definitely need to change the rule. I remember this happened to the Bills in a game a couple years ago, where they were near the goal line and there was stoppage for a review to see if they scored with less than 10 seconds left in the half. Had there been no replay, they could’ve run another play and maybe scored. The refs said replay confirmed the Bills didn’t score and “by rule we have a 10 second runoff. The half is over.” How dumb was that?!

It was funny to see him in the locker room after the game. He’s so small in comparison. He reminds me of those guys on crime shows that are on the team because they know all these stats and techno stuff. He comes off looking strange in those press room interviews. Definitely not comfortable.

How about the end of the first half? Has anyone explained that? If the play was to fake the spike and throw to Diggs, why didn’t Josh just spike it after bobbling the ball to allow a FG try?

Other than the Bills games, many of the games these first 3 weeks have been poor quality. Yeah, let’s sit all the starters in preseason games so we can watch crap football until they get it together.

And how did the Dolphins get away with configuring a stadium that puts their team in the shade and the visitors in the sun. Talk about unethical. It’s like Red Auerbach turning the hot water and heat off in the visitors locker room in the Boston Garden.

Having watched this game, if you do look at the stats, it is mind boggling that the Bills lost this game. Big advantages in yardage and time of possession but they only score 17 pts? The Bills had only 1 turnover (fumble) and punted only once. They were 11 for 18 on 3rd downs and 2 of 3 on 4th down, the only failed 4th being the Allen pass into the ground. That 3rd Qtr drive is 87 yards in 20 plays, using 9:28 off the clock and all they get is a FG. That 4th Qtr drive is 73 yyards in 17 plays, using 8:19, and they don’t score a point. You have 2 long impressive drives and get only 3 points out of it? Hindsight is 20/20 but if they got 3 points on that long 4th Qtr drive, they still had the 2 timeouts so they could’ve got the ball back, as they did after the punt safety. Main point, of course, is that a team’s play calling is different when they’re backed up to the goal line than if they’re at say the 25 so the Bills defense could’ve had a bigger challenge to stop them on 3 downs. Has anyone heard an explanation on the Bass missed FG? It looked bad like the timing was off or did he just miss it?

I’ve seen similar plays called TDs.

I just saw Kay on a commercial for Dick’s Sporting Goods. Guess she has to make her money somehow.

I thought she went to Amazon Prime. I didn’t watch the pregame last Thursday. Was she on there? Wasn’t part of halftime or postgame.

And her cousin Gary pitched for the Mets in the ‘69 series!

Billy B took his Patsies down on Tuesday for a Sunday game and they still lost.

So, going into the matchup against T.Hill & Waddle with Cam Lewis and 2 rookies at CB? Line has to get to Tua.

Reminds me of a MASH scene: “Major!’ “Major.” “”Major.” “Major major”

Billy B may regret sticking around longer.

Actually these broadcasts are NOT in 4K.

Lost connection a 2nd time.

Do you guys have 4K HD TVs? Every time they upgrade the broadcasting, TVs of prior generations can suffer in picture quality.

I paused the game to see how that worked. When you unpause, it gives you the option of resuming (where you paused) or watching live action. If I had to pause for any reason, why would I want to pick it up live? The fast fwd/rewind is bogus ( same as ESPN+) where the picture doesn’t FFWD so you have to guess on the end of a commercial break. I also temporarily lost internet connection which cost me a few minutes.

In the tradition of the Maras and Rooneys! Fun fact: Kate Mara of House of Cards is a product of a marriage of a Mara and a Rooney. Her sister is also an actress and goes by the name of Rooney Mara.

Even in his best years you never heard Jim Kelly referred to as the best QB in the league nor a likely MVP

Well, the Boston Celtics like to use a leprechaun. Lucky Charms?
