I am done myself.....   That league could eat a -----.  The fact that they still did a 16.5 rating is still incredible. Guess NFL will never die........ 

Because most of the people on my social media feed that are "boycotting the nfl" never watched in the first place.

Sunday was great, there is no pre-game air time, it's just straight to the kickoff. Not a peep of anything and good football on sunday ticket.

Go Bills!

In the modern age of DVRs, I’m sure a lot of people just fast forward straight to kick off. For any sporting event, I usually start a 1/2 to an hour late anyway so that I can fast forward commercials, etc. this way I’m caught up live viewing closer to the end of the game.

yeah i can't do that either, now with live scoring fantasy and group texts, although i did pause the sunday night game for a bit to help put the kids to bed. It was nice to fast forward the whole halftime.

i was shocked and embarrassed with myself on how hard this was for only 45 minutes last night. Lets be honest, unless it's my team playing theres a lot of downtime between plays in the NFL and i'm usually scrolling on the phone for something.

Adam Gase of my beloved NY Jets has to go .

Unpopular opinion: I cannot stand our coaching staff. STOP CALLING DESIGNED RUNS FOR YOUR FRANCHISE QB!!! ESPECIALLY IN A 21 POINT GAME. I was out on McDermott when he played for the tie in the snow game against the Colts when a tie meant missing the playoffs

I am not a huge NFL guy and don't watch many of the Bill's game but everything that I have seen/heard/read on the Coaching Staff and Allen just leads me to believe they are all just average. Now they may get the team into the Playoffs but I don't see much else after that.

i think there's some truth to this, and i also remind myself that it's the first real action they've had. no pre-season so there's some rust. I also think they saw something in the jets D which led to maybe more running than normal. He missed a couple key throws, but i was very happy to see him and Diggs on the same page and generally good vision and accuracy. if they can get the run game going, allen will run less for sure.

Right now Allen is RGIII and thats just not sustainable. I think he can be Big Ben

i'd say more of cam newton given some meat on the bone he has vs rg3, but yeah I don't disagree that it's not sustainable.

I've been to both of the recent playoff games.

The HOU game was a huge failure on the coaches. I wish they got more of the knock against them for that. The late game calls were HORRENDOUS. The go for it on the fourth down should have been a field goal attempt - statistically that call was the best of three options - FG attempt, punt, and then go for it. They chose the worst of the three options. 

Fast forward to now, and they run their QB in a spot where they clearly should not have. 

I am a big fan of Frazier for DC. Not a fan of Daboll. Tepid on McDermott. Good to great on alot of things, but the in-game decisions are horrendous and noticeably worse as the game gets closer to the end. It's a fatal flaw IMO.

Vintage Cam Newton yesterday; scores a TD, his teammates come rushing in to celebrate with him, he turns his back on them to ham for the nearest camera

He has them prepared for games I will give him that

We are certainly 0-2 in VERY winnable playoff games

I've almost purged the second half of that game from my memory banks. Almost.

This. Stop running Allen especially when he can’t hold onto the ball. . He gets hurt and season over for the Bills

try being down 24-0 and having to come back. My heart rate was 207 at one point.

I disagree on this somewhat. Every year he or the team has improved. A non playoff team for what 13 years to a playoff team and now possibly a division contender. They keep adding pieces to improve. I Don’t always love the design QB run but he’s athletic enough to pull it off at times

At times, but up 21-0 and in FG range and getting the ball back after the half is not one of them

[The_Real_TCIII]

Or at least what we thought was FG range lol, its up for discussion

The elephant in the Bill's team room. Do they need a new kicker?
