10-0, but it was a struggle. The Bills gave them a hell of a game. Going forward I'm just hoping for health and for Marcus Cannon to not see the field again.

 

[WWEJedi]

We won.... not without losing some players. Dobson hurt. Amendola was shook up. Brady took to many big hits. Our line is a mess.

If we can get healthy these close games will turn into blowouts. Now to face the Oz led Broncos.

Wow. Lost both fantasy games this week by a total of 1.4 points. One was was .02. That's literally one yard. If I got 2 more yards passing from Tom Brady, I'd have won one of those. I'm so pissed I could strangle a baby seal. cuss

Well I have to give Buffalo credit for making Brady mediocre in the first half

Yeah, the Bills had a good defensive game plan. And during the pre-game interview, Rex Ryan as usual ran his mouth, although it was pretty tame compared to what he usually says. It was interesting to see all the blitzes the Bills were throwing at Brady.

Special teams and offense didn't do Buffalo any favors. Lesean McCoy had a dropped TD...I know the safety came over at the last second (Chung?) but by the time the safety got their, McCoy had already dropped the pass.

Leodis McKelvin fumbled a punt as well. I'm not sure why the Bills don't put Sammy Watkins on the punt return team to give him more touches?

It is not even whining. It is the truth. Complete garbage call that cost them a TD. Worst call of the year.

Okay, we get you're a NE fan. But that statement is pure hyperbole. That call trumps the refs not knowing the rule about hitting the ball out of the end zone in the Seattle/Detroit game?

Or what about the penalty called at the end of the Jacksonville-Baltimore game that allowed the jags to kick the game winning FG? Afterwards the league said the jags should have been penalized for an illegal formation prior to Elvis Dumervil being called for a face mask.

Those two calls/non-calls directly influenced the outcome of their respective games.

I agree on the Seattle Detroit game call, the Jax/Bal one well thats a tough one to pin on them as a horrible call. Does it have a horrible outcome maybe but when its happening that fast as that play i can see them missing that a guy was not set at the snap that one is really hard.

You could also look a number of reviewed TDs, which one week are a TD but a week later is incomplete. If it was up to individual refs ok each could have a slightly different interpretation of that one but with NY being involved in all replays that voice should have a consistent interpretation

 

[DinoDB1975]

Yeah, I agree on the Jax/Bal call, I was just thinking of two "calls" that handed at the end of the game that directly affected the outcome of the game to refute WWEJedi's "worst call of the year" statement.

Probably not THE worst call of the year now since they won the game regardless of that. If lost by seven it would have been.

I guess Sea/Det game still holds the title. Jax/Bal game I don't care about since the Ravens lost. Good call in my eyes

 

[Darth Madden]

To me the Sea / Det call was a good no call. The ball was going out of bounds anyway (or he could have just grabbed it and fallen down) so Det was going to lose anyway.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

What do you think...Brian Hoyer or Phillip Rivers is week?

 

[DinoDB1975]

Well, I didn't see the play so it may have "looked" worse than what I read.

Anyways, Manziel is demoted to third string after posts on social media show him partying on the Browns bye week.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

So much for that rehab stint

He is as dumb as a box of rocks. At worst he could have had a pretty nice backup career... its better than a "real" job. And now he will hang around this year and mayeb get a tryout next year with somebody then end up on Dancing with the Stars.

It's a bad no call. It's a rule and he blatantly broke the rule. Saying that is a good no call means any penalties that don't appear to directly effect the play should be not called.

You have insulted all boxes of rocks

That's the smart pick every damn week.

Manziel is clearly one of these guys who always got things the easy way. He apparently comes from a family of privilege, and I'm sure he'll fall into some cozy, lucrative career despite his lacking professionalism or good judgment. But knuckleheads like that should be treated the way he is now, if for no other reason than to set an example to kids who look up to athletes.

 

[WWEJedi]

Welp.... I guess Manziel is the alcoholic bum everyone thought he was. Way to throw away a legit shot at being a starting QB in the NFL.

Gronk is going to show great "mental toughness" on Thanksgiving by not eating a whole pumpkin pie... his words
