[Steptide]

That KFC commercial was kinda funny

I like the surgical precision of Cousins 

 

Josh could learn a thing or two

The Bills were in 12 personnel 68% of the snaps.  It was working as long as Josh followed the script.

It didn’t work. Allen / Dorsey. They looked like shiit. Minne did too last year. Now they look great 

[Scott7975]

Imagine getting into FG range with 25 seconds and running the football lol

[78thealltimegreat]

If I’m the Vikings I’m coming into the half thinking you know we are the better team clean up the second half and we got this. 

[MikePJ76]

man al michaels is struggling s much as this game is.

[Low Positive]

Kickers are sooooo much better than they used to be. It’s the rise of youth soccer in the US I think.

someone needs to explain the purpose of this rule for me. It makes no sense.

“Because the goal line is involved — and this is a consistent application of the impetus rule,” Blandino said. “Impetus is the force that puts the ball into an end zone. So if a team provides the impetus that puts a ball into their opponent’s end zone . . . then they are responsible for it. They’re responsible for it. And if the ball gets out of bounds through the end zone then it is a touchback.

 

[…]

 

“Now that may seem like an egregious penalty but again, think about it, they put the ball into their opponent’s end zone,” Blandino said. “If it’s not fourth down or inside two minutes, if they recover it, it’s a score. So that’s potentially a big play, so the penalty for not recovering it . . . has to be big as well. That’s why it’s a touchback. That’s consistent with other loose balls that go into an opponent’s end zone. Kicks, punts, fumbles, backward passes.”

 

“You’re responsible for putting the ball into your opponent’s end zone, you’re responsible for recovering it,” Blandino said. “If you don’t and it goes out of bounds or the defense recovers, they’ve defended their goal line, and they get a touchback.”

Offensive powerhouse teams would figure out a way to weaponize putting the ball out of the endzone

It’s interesting to see how coordinators scheme with quarterbacks who don’t have golden arms.

he didn't realize the eagles were getting into field goal range.  he thought they were running out the clock and was shocked they took a timeout.

[BuffaloRebound]

10 point mistake by jefferson.  Coaches absolutely hate guys reaching out for the goal line like that unless it’s 4th down.  Selfish play.  Would’ve been 1st and goal from the 1 with a timeout and 30 seconds left.

I don't know about that.  Minny oline still a bit of a mess, Philly just needs to pound the rock.

 

I think Philly pulls away in 2nd half.

Good way to put it👍

 

I was looking at him as a possible Edmunds replacement. Thought he'd go in 4 or 5.

If any Eagle fans watched the Bills on Sunday they would say the opposite 

 

Of course.  Which is why I said starting Sunday.

Time for the stupidest rule in sports to rear it’s ugly head.

Should have been spotted at the 1

[BuffaloBillyG]

At least on the field Jalen Carter looks like he's going to be everything I was assured Ed Oliver was.

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Kirk and I can disagree on this one. I hate when players tap their chest or head and say “that’s on me” in those situations.

 

No crap man we all saw you do it ya loser. It has this sense of arrogance about it. You just effed up. Put your head down and get back into the huddle.
