triumph_communes Posted January 30, 2023 Report Posted January 30, 2023 I do not want to spend on WR. It might be a weakness but I believe Josh can make any jag receiver look good. Need to fix the o line. And d line. And coaching.

The refs are a factor, always are, but aren't the difference. As long as they're letting the same stuff go both ways, not much to complain about. And, though didn't watch last night's game closely, am fairly confident that Cincy got away w/ holds too based on the previous week's game. Was listening to One Bills Live earlier and they had a guest on (I forget who) and he attributes the poor refereeing to the league’s All Star Ref system which takes the highest graded officials from the regular season to work the post season. He said the none of the refs working the KC/Cinci game had ever worked together before. He said it was ridiculous to have that happen in a conference championship game. But that system is collectively bargained with the ref union and they would have to agree to change it. I agree that it needs to be scrapped as well. Edited January 31, 2023 by K-9 1

Oline is priority one, full stop, but WR2 is a real need.

Officiating was certainly not a factor in the Bills/Bengals game. I didn't watch the KC/Cincy game, but a game decided by a field goal as time runs down can certainly be, and most probably was, affected by officiating.

Should've been more clear. Sorry. Was saying that Cincy fans are whining about holding calls KC got away w/. Based on the previous week's game, know that Cincy holds a lot too. So, am pretty sure Cincy got away w/ a lot of them vs KC too. Didn't watch the game closely enough to say if the refs favored KC or Cincy or neither. But expect it was neither. The unnecessary roughness call at the end was the right one. Mahomes was clearly into the white when 58 got to him and the main force of the hit came on the other side of that big white stripe. And 58 crashed hard into his own bench making the hit. It was a painfully dumb play to make & watch & really didn't care who won. 1
GASabresIUFAN Posted January 31, 2023 Report Posted January 31, 2023 I feel better about the Bills cap situation after reading the Athletic’s article about how the Bills can get under the cap. The Bills are over next years cap by about $20 mill. Restructuring Allen’s salary to a prorated signing bonus alone gets the Bills under the cap. They can also save $10 mill cutting McKenzie, Hines and Settle. Diggs and Miller can also be restructured. Extending Morse, Hyde and Oliver can also yield cap savings. https://theathletic.com/4139776/2023/01/31/buffalo-bills-nfl-salary-cap/

If you saw the clip of the Cincy sideline when 58 made the hit, they all knew it was a late hit as well. As far as the holding calls the Cinci fans are complaining about on that last play, it’s mostly a misunderstanding of what is, and what isn’t allowed per rules. All that being said, the officiating has been brutal in these playoffs and I think the NFL is finally realizing they just address it. I’ve been saying for awhile that getting in bed with gambling is going to have at least one positive effect. Gamblers are going to insist on fairness and a correct outcome. I could even see a lawsuit happening. It might not be winnable but someone with deep pockets could make things uncomfortable for them. 1

The guy hasn't been a bust, but he has surely disappointed based on where he was drafted. He was my greatest hope for pressure on Burrow prior to that Cincy game. The fact that they have to pay him on that 5th year option is suboptimal.

I would prefer Daquan Jones, Tim Settle, Jordan Phillips and one other of that type than sign Oliver to a bloated contract long term. 1

When these stories make the news, do we have instant recall of the accused's background? No. We are conditioned to believe that charges against people are true. And even moreso when it's a young black male. Look at the headline. It's atrocious journalism. "Bengals’ Joe Mixon charged for allegedly pointing gun at woman" How about: "Police allege Mixon pointed gun at woman, file charges"? One is not charged for. And you don't make the claim someone did something and add "allegedly" to make it look fair. You can't allegedly point a gun.

I actually agree with this, I don't think Mixon is a Saint by any means, but the Sensationalism of headlines these days is way out of hand. I still go back to Matt Ariaza and the headlines that essentially had him guilty and essentially cut, just to find out the charges were dropped. 1

I will never agree one can allegedly do anything. Adverbs modify verbs. How does one point a gun? You can point straight, calmly or wildly. One cannot point it allegedly. I'll die on this hill lol.
