getting the chores DONE (hanging a chandelier, f ing attic work)

 

[KingLando]

Bills D looks soft early--really need to hold them to 3 here

I just now finished cleaning the house. My job. My wife appreciates the time this frees up for her to cook. (I appreciate it too. She’s a damn fine cook.)

I looked away after the fumble. Was it a legit flag against Buffalo, the one that overturned the fumble?

 

[LionJim]

Sun was in his eyes on that drop in the end zone?

 

[G3624]

Who wrote t he screenplay?

 

[KingLando]

Would have been a perfect start for Denver if Humphrey didn't drop the TD--still they killed a ton of time and got points

It looked to be legit, though I was on the phone while the replay was shown (the old multi-tasking causes me to be poorer at all of the tasks).

 

[RochLion]

Blow the F'n whistle refs!!!

 

[G3624]

Amazing they scored!

How many tries inside the five?

 

[LionJim]

Nice drive. Allen is easy to root for.

 

[KingLando]

Great answer--Allen is going to get killed on one of these tush push plays if they don't t blow it dead timely

 

[RochLion]

That was a fast 1st quarter.

 

[Relayer]

No one knew what down it was??? Did they even explain if it was a first down or not? Very strange sequence. Romo and Nantz clueless.

 

[LionJim]

That was a fast 1st quarter.

lol, yeah. You saw the time of possession stat on the tube? Each team controlled the ball for a half a quarter, one drive apiece.

 

[KingLando]

Broncos didn't have anyone illegally downfield on that play
RJ Harvey might be sitting for a while after that

 

[LionJim]

No one knew what down it was??? Did they even explain if it was a first down or not? Very strange sequence. LionJim, Romo and Nantz clueless.

Fixed, ffs.

 

[G3624]

I did.

Nantz was right--it was short, they picked up the first down on the tush push. Cook then lost yards and they got the TD on 2nd down
Romo usually isn't that bad but he confused himself even after Nantz corrected him twice

 

[rudedude]

 

[KingLando]

Allen is ridiculous

 

[LionJim]

Allen is ridiculous

Yeah, and that was a good hit to cause the fumble. A great defense play. Dang.

 

[RochLion]

Looked like McGovern might have gotten injured on the fumble play. We'll see.

 

[troutrus]

Sean Peyton still permitted to be in the league turns my stomach.
Makes one believe that he could shoot somebody out on 5th Avenue and still be eligible.

 

[KingLando]

**** Cook--can;t do that (was a great hit--no argument there)

 

[RochLion]

Yeah, looks like McGovern was shaken up on fumble play. Taken to analysis tent.

 

[KingLando]

Fumble changed everything smh

 

[LionJim]

Yeah, looks like McGovern was shaken up on fumble play. Taken to analysis tent.

Checked for a concussion “in the locker room” which is usually a bad sign.

 

[Relayer]

Nantz was right--it was short, they picked up the first down on the tush push. Cook then lost yards and they got the TD on 2nd down

No, it was a cluster F*ck. Awful job by CBS.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[LionJim]

Fumble changed everything smh

Yes, and that was the play immediately following Allen’s great run.

 

[KingLando]

No, it was a cluster F*ck. Awful job by CBS.

Nantz was right the whole time--as was the display on the screen--it was only Romo that was confused

 

[KingLando]

I know the Bills have down about 4 WRs but I'm still shocked Keon Coleman is ever on the field.

 

[Relayer]

Nantz was right the whole time--as was the display on the screen--it was only Romo that was confused

When they snapped the ball, no one knew what down it was. Nantz said that after the fact.

 

[KingLando]

When they snapped the ball, no one knew what down it was. Nantz said that after the fact.

I have no idea how you are anyone watching was unaware it was 4th down. Just like Romo not knowing makes zero sense but whatever. Blame CBS.

 

[KingLando]

Complete fail by the Bills D
