Typical Rex Ryan signing Boom Herron and Josh Johnson the week before they play us trying to get info!! All the games are loaded up in HD to your tablet buddy.....no need to sign people to learn what we got (unless your trying to steal terminology like a scumbag)
Bills are a well-oiled penalty machine
Why did we accept it instead of 4th down?
Arizona in the red zone.

I honestly don't care who plays better as long as they're both helping us win but a 0 yard rush on first down is NOT a drive stopper no matter who it is running the ball.

repped. exactly this ^^^^ the play could gain negative yards but what it does is set up better play action, thus keeping their D honest.

I was thinking same thing.
Dre roasted like a peanut again

#worthless
Whats the wisdom of accepting that holding penalty for 4th and short vs accepting it and now getting a new set of downs?
And that is why you keep the fourth down!!!!!!!!!!
Dre K blows
Someone tell me why we accepted the hold call to make it 3rd and 11 VS 4th and 1 - thus forcing them to punt ???! WTH
D folding again. I guess expecting them to consistently play good is too much...
Would that not have been 4th and 1 if we declined the holding penalty??

Would have been 4 and short from 4 down territory vs. 4 and long until we jumped anyway.

Agreed.  Should've ended the drive.
Giving the receivers too much cushion.

Come on D.

They were going to go for it.

Was it short? I didn't see the ref's signal 'cause I was looking at the flag, but even if it was short, we're talking about 4th and inches and you gotta expect Ryan to go for it so might as well take the penalty and push them back and hopefully stop them.
Michael Vick had dirt in his eye. His return is probable.
