NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION AFCDG: Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos

[Twentytothree]

The first call was bad but there was also roughing the passer.
The one on white was textbook dpi. He literally tackled the guy while the ball was in the air and he was trying to catch it. That gets called 100 times out of 100.

You mean 99 out of 100, it's ok to tackle Boutte...

 

[A Defiant Goose]

The cherry on top for today is Jete fans watching Darnold lead his team to the NFCCG while they sit in QB purgatory another 10 years

 

[4thQComeback]

He was the better QB today thats for sure

I appreciate that man.

 

[Kargetina]

He isn't a runner so this frame doesn't influence the call by the ref.

This is the same situation as the Jesse James catch in the game against the Steelers in 2018 that didn't survive the ground and every Pats hater threw a temper tantrum about. James wasn't a runner, so his knee being down was irrelevant, he didn't survive the ground, and thus it was an incomplete pass.

Cooks catches the ball, then falls, he hasn't made a football move, so touching the ground means nothing because he never secured the ball. Imagine the exact scenario but instead of the defender, the ball hits the ground after this frame, and out of Cooks' hands, it wouldn't count as a catch, it would be incomplete. In the above scenario, Cooks while down and not having ''survived'' the ground, lost the ball, the ball never touched the ground hence it's an interception.

"Mr. January" Josh Hero Ball Allen is so amazing. Let's look at his record in the Divisional/Championship Game rounds over his years in the league...

2018 season:
- Did not make it to the Div round; did not make postseason
2019 season:
- Did not make it to the Div round; lost in Wild Card round
2020 season:
- Divisional Round: WIN vs Baltimore
- Championship Round: LOSS vs Kansas City
2021 season:
- Divisional Round: LOSS vs Kansas City
2022 season:
- Divisional Round: LOSS vs Cincinnati
2023 season:
- Divisional Round: LOSS vs Kansas City
2024 season:
- Divisional Round: WIN vs Baltimore
- Championship Round: LOSS vs Kansas City
2025 season:
- Divisional Round: LOSS vs Denver

Overall, my shining hero Josh Allen is 2-6 in Divisional/Championship round games. But hey, at least he's 6-1 in the Wild Card round!!!! That's good for something.... right?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

lol hilarious.

Im just trying to wrap my head around the fact that you had your biggest win in years and youre over here trying to get a rise out of patriots fans. You must really love us

I’m happy to see the bills lose. Sorry folks, hate them and love them see choke in the playoffs.
If we get past the Texans tomorrow we will have a tough game against broncos.

Best QB in football baby!

The second one was definitely not "borderline", not even remotely. If you think that's borderline you were watching a different game.

It was a lot more borderline than the PI on the Bills WR at the end of the 4th. All I’m saying is be consistent.

 

[upstater1]

My real take on Josh Allen: he has no support from any of his teammates. Cook is the only one who stands out other than Allen.

Now, you can build a team from a solid working class of a little better than average players. But you need to sprinkle in a difference maker or two.

Pats first dynasty on defense had Ty Law, Rodney Harrison, Willie McGinest and Richard Seymour.

Second dynasty had Stefon Gilmore, Devin McCourty, Dante Hightower and Vince Wilfork.

There is no one notable on the Bills D (though Deone Walker may become that).

I give credit to Josh Allen (though he was subpar today) and his coach McDermott...

... but the guy picking the players? He needs the heave ho. Kaiir Elam, Keon Coleman, Greg Rousseau, OCyrus Torrence. You can't keep drafting this poorly because your team is sorely lacking for talent.

I mean, we won the Super Bowl 10 years ago. I look forward to seeing the pats in Denver. No trolling here. I like your chances,

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

The fumble before half. The interception in regulation. Missing the game winning touchdown. 100% on him

According to Buffalo fans it’s never him. It’s the refs. The defense. The offense drops passes. The coach.

 

[NFL Mystique]

I’m far more confident vs Broncos than the Texans. Broncos pass rush isn’t even average

Problem is the game would be in Denver. And they seem to have this magic thing going on. It's probably going to blow up on them soon. Question is when?

Can't be said enough how loud it is there.

On the fumble before the half, the announcers kept blaming the coach for being too aggressive not taking a knee. No way. You have the ball, in the hands of your supposed superstar QB, why not take a shot? The worst that happens is he'll throw it out of bounds, right? It's not like he'd RUN UP THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD FAR PAST THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE WAVING THE BALL AROUND WILDLY IN ONE HAND, right?

Absolutely terrible play by Allen.

 

[upstater1]

The second one was definitely not "borderline", not even remotely. If you think that's borderline you were watching a different game.

The second one wasn't borderline agree. But the first one in OT was a carbon copy of Cooks being held.

Of course Bosa also had roughing the passer on that play so either way, the Broncos get some yards. But roughing = 15 and Denver was given 25.

 

[4thQComeback]

However I will say this. I was told on this forum that if a team put up 17, Bo couldn’t win. Just sayin,

 

[NFL Mystique]

My only pushback would be that I thought Brady and the offense got most of the points available in SB42, the Giants' passrush was on an all time heater that game and that 14 was close to the amount of points the Giants were going to give up that day, who knows if BB decided on the long FG from Gost instead of going for it on 4th down. with better ball security the Bills probably win by 10 pts

I think McDaniels is to blame too. It was a team loss. That 4th and 13 call made no sense though.

Are you a Denver fan? Not throwing shade but I don’t follow

Then it’s past time to right some wrongs there from games past.

Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying was hilarious about my post.

I do hate going to Denver and i do feel we have the better team. We’re both 14-3 and i give us the slight edge based on everything Ive seen from both. Im sure you feel the same way vice versa and id have no problem with it
