A good offense always needs some disguise at times- anyone else notice our RG rock back everytime we passed? You sure now the cheats saw it if I did. That's what those in the biz call a silent snap count. Handy for those shotgun formations on the road when the QB might not be heard over crowd noise. It gets varied up from time to time, as you maybe did not notice. The RG taps the center and gets back into his stance, but they don't immediately snap it every time. Almost my birthday. 1
Ga boy Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 I think it's obvious that the Pats are a better team with a better QB. Expecting to beat them with our QB is similar to believing that Santa is real. If we have a competent QB next year, we could be real Bills, not counterfeit Bills. A competent QB will take advantage of Clay and Benjamin. He would make everyone better. I wished we would have stayed with NT 4 weeks ago to see what he could do, but we stayed with TT and we'll miss the playoffs and our draft position will prevent us from getting an NFL ready QB. Our structure has the potential to keep us in a rut. The coach makes decisions to appease the locker room, when management should have told him to go with the guy who can throw receivers open, not the guy who takes sacks and bounces balls to receivers. While many thought that the previous regime was dysfunctional, giving all the authority to this coach could result in a process that keeps us at 9 and 7 and worst. We need some checks and balances. Giving this coach last and final say will be an equation for failure. Go Bills!!!

The Bills D was just exhausted come the fourth quarter. Isn't that patently true? I thought Jesse James had a drop last week (and Bills fans went unfairly ballistic). But this, I can't see how not a catch. Huge ramifications. I'm at loss to find a rule where this standso on field

I never want to see #5 again on the field.

Then vanished in the second half. The ONLY call in the second half that hurt the Bills was the PI which was obvious PI. You and your fans don't understand football and reality.

You have to admit the problem to fix the problem. OBD needs to go to some AA meetings. Or would it be called QBA (quarterbacks anonymous).

I said at the beginning of the season that if not for the Bills, Tolbert's career would be over. Makes no sense to have him on the team. But he's a good locker room guy!

He makes nobody pay. Need a heat seeking missile in the middle. Not someone that helps the other team get up. Panties Brown. 1 1

In the locker room I hope he isnt even in the locker room next season. Makes me laugh when some fans think he is so good as a locker room guy or a leader when all you have to do is look at what he did yesterday. Sat on the bench with a towel on his head. He did not work when on the sideline he sat and sulked. Big playoff game and nothing. SMH Edited December 25, 2017 by xRUSHx

But if we have to take him I would rather he stay in the locker room. Unfortunate but he is after all the coach's guy.
B Fan in LA Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 I think all the talk about the refs giving the game to the Pats is a distraction from the real issue. The real issue, to me, is the fact that after 17 seasons of "rebuilding", the Pats are consistently a much better team than we are. And how can that be.................? How can it be that the Pats can put together a better team than ours, year after year after year, with worse draft position ? How can the Pats get better production from players that aren't better, or more gifted athletes than ours? For example, How is it that Dion Lewis can gash our Defense for 129 yards rushing, when Shady can only manage 71 yards? The Pats OLine is opening gaping holes for Dion to run through our DLine. Our Oline has been dreadful for years. Our Dline has been our strength, but not lately. Our LB's are old and slow. Posters on this message board complain that we haven't got quality receivers, and that's why our offense is terrible. Well who is Tom Brady throwing to? Danny Amendola, Brandin Cooks, Kenny Britt, Dwayne Allen, and Philip Dorsett. Not exactly big name receivers, but they seem to get the job done. The problem at OBD for many years has been the inability to draft quality personnel and fit them into a system that wins. I'm not sure if the right people are in the right spots now, but I believe we need to continue to clean house until the losing stops. If Belichick took this program over next year, we'd be talking about playing in the Super Bowl in 2 years, not whether we were going to get the last remaining Wild Card slot. I'm sick of losing, and I want a decent draft next year, whatever that means. Go Bills !

The goon in NYC, Riveron, did.....

Sigh just because I don't see things one way doesn't mean I am wrong. I agreed the TD should have stood, but that PI was so damn obvious a caveman could have called it on the Bills. It was textbook.. he never looked back for the ball and he ran into the WR before the ball got there. It was textbook! A pop warner ref calls that it was so onvious! Now if your talking about the first half PI That was much closer but still technically a PI but one not usually called.
