Welp, Looks like T-Pegs is now the owner of the Buffalo Bills!
If there is any chance of the Bills staying in Buffalo, you’d have to think it’s with the Pegula’s right?
I’m not excited for them just staying here but for what Pegula brings to the table. I imagine that harborcenter is just the tip of the iceberg.
F Bon Jovi
The Billion Dollar Bills.
THIS.
Though I laughed my ass off when the Bears played Living on a Prayer after their first score Sunday.
He was the front runner all along but its nice to see some confirmation he will be the new owner.
Lol cheeky bears with the song, karma’s a bitch
Bears trolling was on point with that.
I’ll hold off until this is 100% official, although it seems a lock :tup:
That was effing brilliant. I literally stood up from the couch and applauded their AV guy.
Welp, that was fun. Can’t wait to do it again next year!
Lol!
That game fucking sucked and not even because the Bills lost. Mainly due to the refs…and again, not because of the bills. It was just a painful game to view.
See, I feel the opposite. The refs are not the reason they lost. All teams get bad calls, they just score points to offset it. The Bills can’t do that and thus results in blaming the refs. When you struggle to score 1 or 2 TD’s per game and the refs make questionable calls, it’s not going to end well. Main point= score more points. Throw the ball down field. Take chances, don’t slide short of 1st down on 3&1, don’t punt on 4th&2, down 2 TD’s with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. All of these things are a much bigger problem than the refs shitty calls.
I’m really tired of the, “just score more points” excuse for the complete shit show that is NFL officiating.
Denver is a better team but Buffalo had a chance. Two critical 3rd down stops early in the game that officials made just terrible calls to kept Denver drives alive were killer. It’s tough for any team to overcome 14 points worth of bad calls in the 1st half on the road against a better skilled team.
But yes, in the 2nd half our poor coaching really shined. The punt on 4th and 2 should have been a fire-able offense.
Well, look at the top penalized teams in the NFL. You might be surprised how successful they actually are. When bad teams get bad calls, they hurt more, only because they don’t have the ability to rebound from it.
I really don’t give a shit about stats. By the stats Kyle Orton looked like a great QB yesterday. Do you think he was? It’s not the total yards in penalties, it’s how badly they hurt you. They don’t hurt much more than automatic 1st downs when you just made a 3rd down stand against a team like Denver on the road.
I’m not saying reffing cost them the game at all. I rarely use that excuse. But when the penalties just keep flying all over, it slows the game and makes it boring as fuck.
The choice to punt on 4th down with like 6min left was on Marrone. You’re down 14pts how the fuck is a punt going to help against one of the best Football minds out there. Not to mention you’re on life support as far as a playoff spot is concerned. They keep making this asshole decisions on 4th and 1 or 4th and goal and they kick a field go. Grow a pair and go for it. Hand it off to Fred and 8/10 he’ll pick that up.
The reffing as been atrocious league wide this year, some of the worst I’ve seen in years.
Sure some teams may get penalized more than others and be successful, but you also have to look at other aspects of the call (down, yardage, etc)
The Bills have had 2-3 winnable games this year they lost due to poor coaching and play but having to go against the refs is pretty tough too
If we’re thinking of the same 4th and 2 that the Bills decided to punt at with ~6:00 on the clock, you can’t say that play was definitely a time to go for it. They were near their own 20 if I’m remembering right. That’s guaranteed points if you don’t get it and 6:00 is a lot of time.
They also had 3 games that they won, that they probably shouldn’t have. CHI, MIN, DET…it works both ways…
If they don’t convert, yeah, Broncos probably score or at least get 3. But, you’re already down two, so now you’re going to pretty much base that second touchdown off an onside kick recovery. Onside kicks are <20% success rates. 4th down conversion for the Bills this year is almost 50%. Then if you punt you give Peyton the option to pretty much dictate the rest of those 6:00. Bills only had 1 Timeout too IIRC. Not a smart move to punt.
I would say it’s more than 50/50 that you get that 1st down and if you go against that and punt, it really speaks volumes. I heard some people say that “If they only had 5 more minutes, they might have pulled off the win!” Well guess what, you score on that drive instead of punting and you leave yourself enough time to get down the field and score another one.
None of this matters because he still would have used his “Kickoff Specialist” to botch the onside kick, when Carpenter should have been the one doing that kick to begin with…
