I like Dak, but he was bad yesterday. If you want to put on sustained drives, you need to be accurate. I would 100% move on from him.

It would be a 60 million plus cap hit to get rid of him…he’ll be back.

I'm sure the referees aren't thinking anything like that...they're getting in position, and calling what they think they see. It's a fast game, and slow-motion replays from multiple angles give us much better perspective than making a bang-bang call in real time.
FIFY (ref: GB horsecollar penalty)

Move the 6:30 Sunday game to Monday night. Why penalize a team because weather screwed up the planned game?
Is it really that big a penalty? Whoever wins plays Sunday. Is that worse than the other Monday game winner? Or Sunday game winner playing next Saturday? Were the teams in this game deserving of something more?

this was avoidable - they build a new stadium and could have made it covered like a Ford Field. amazingly Buffalo goes for an open stadium which makes playoff games there a risk.
Do you realize that no one was getting to the game due to a friggin blizzard whether or not there was a domed or covered stadium???? They got over 2 foot of snow there. Some places got 3 feet. Plus 60 mph winds.

Started in HS,trip to Baltimore to see Bills vs Colts at the old Memorial Stadium, Bert Jones vs OJ Simpson and the Electric Company. Got to meet some of the OL after the game and became a fan. Never liked the Eagles or Giants, and Jets, 😂😂😂😂. Unfortunately the Bills don’t have a Super Bowl win but all those teams do.

I got to know Joe delamielleure a little back in the day. He said he wanted to help PSU RECRUIT as when he came out of MSU he really didn’t have anything, especially education wise.

Nice. The concept of making sure your (non-Ivy) student athletes actually got an education started in the Sixties, I’d say. There is probably a lot of historical research out there, has to be, but I’m not aware of it. Jerry Kramer wrote that he got talked out of majoring in engineering on his first day of college, by an engineering professor, U of Idaho. That’s a sin, a literal sin.

I loved teaching football players. I loved my job. It took me a long time to become a really good teacher but I had a good decade-and-a-half run until I retired. Best gig ever.

I think Jones keeps him and cleans the cubbard after they go nowhere next year.

You were also taught by a football player, me.
