LOL !! SMH !!! Not over a Military personal who has fought for the freedom of this country !

I was refer to 'special needs'.... it's a joke...

Yes !!! Interception !!!

I know Jaybird that's why I laughed ! I totally got it and agreed It was funny !!!

Like he thinks he's more special then a vet !!!

Sounds good brother - just wanted to make sure you didn't think I was putting down military or veterans

Buffalo is truly rolling... I almost was hoping NE would score a TD just to make this game a little more interesting... but watching them get dismantled is pretty fun

Damn !!! that was a sweet throw for 6 !

The Bills are a solid #2 on my personal favorite NFL teams "2 team list".

Reason being?

Ralph WIlson was adamant on the Browns receiving "another" NFL franchise in 1999.

Imo, if it wasn't for him........

And he was Born in Columbus Oh and died in Michigan.... I agree TTTDawg !!!

Josh Allen...oh what could have been.

Thanks buddy boy.

Bills vs Patirots is one point from the over...
scratch that,
now 5 points above the over.

Folks... Wake up, he wouldn't have been very good had he come to Cleveland,

the Browns organization has a way of messing things up, like a clogged drain that needs draino of player development.

(like it or not, at least, recognize it.) Part of it is the whole league bias against, well in favor of all the accepted teams. The Browns are only accepted if they roll over and have a terrible team.

The Patriots scored over 50 points in 2 games this year, so if the Bills score 50 no Patriots should complain that they ran up the score.

Fat guy TD. Rubbing Belichick's nose in it at this point.

He rubbed our noses in it 45-7. Love seeing his be rubbed.

Great Bills blowout win over the Patriots

Cleveland would (call to) fire Bellichic because he lost by 30+ in a playoff game, surely, they'd say, he's not good and never was.

your comparing one play off game to many.. wish the Browns have had that many play-off games !

Why do people assume good defenses equal low scoring games. Both of these teams have good defenses and the over under should have been about 63.5

Bills moving on !!!!!

j/c...

A few things from yesterday:

- Burrow and those WRs are fun to watch. I hate the fact that we’ll be charged with facing them for a long time.

- Raiders were playing with house money; IMO they aren’t a good team

- The refs continue to be an issue

- Buffalo had one of the best performances ever, especially in the playoffs

- The NFL is the haves (teams with QBs like Buffalo, KC, GB, CIN, etc) and the have-nots (teams without QBs like CLE, WASH, MIN, etc)

Take Chase away and Burrow drops down several notches. He throws 8 yd lollipops all game, then takes a few shots, mostly Hail Mary's to Chase, who mostly comes down with them. Burrow doesn't have one exceptional physical quality. He does have the mind. We'll see how far that can take him. If I play the Bengals, I double Chase and sit on every other route. If they can beat me that way, so be it. If Burrow were the QB of the Bills, the Bills would have been leading 13-10 going into the 4th quarter last night with a nail biter finish.

As for the haves and have nots comment, it's been that way in the NFL for 30+ years. We'd be watching the Browns this weekend had the QB play been better.

Chase is a incredible talent. He is already a top.3 NFL WR. But let's not pretend
Chase is what makes Burrow a rare talent.
Burrow was already showing evidence last year why he was drafted #1.
And that was behind one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL..
Burrow has the Bengals locker room believing they can beat anyone.
Burrow doesnt have one physical trait that makes you go wow.
But he has it where it matters when it comes to being a successful
NFL QB. Thats the mental apitude to read defenses

I am different. Last night I wanted the Bengals to win, tonight I will pull for the Steelers.

I may not be that way during the season. My allegiance goes whichever way needed to best help the Browns in the standings. Once we are punked out of the playoffs, I root for AFCN teams. It's not their fault they are better teams then we are. My thinking is their being better makes us better. I am the same way with the SEC.

Just because we failed doesn't give me reason to hope they fail.

I feel like, "Not that kind of special" would be a good line there.

I hope the stoolers get crushed and absolutely humiliated ending fat Ben’s career with him crying on the bench alone.

Sorry.

OJ has those same gloves on he got acquitted with

Jerome Boger, officials from Raiders-Bengals game not expected to work again this NFL postseason

By Adam Schefter
ESPN

Referee Jerome Boger and the crew that worked the AFC wild-card game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals are not expected to officiate again this postseason after their problematic performance Saturday highlighted by a controversial whistle.

The NFL grades officials after each game, and Boger and his crew are not expected to receive high marks for Saturday, when they ruled that a whistle occurred after Cincinnati's Tyler Boyd caught a touchdown from Joe Burrow -- although replays appeared to show otherwise.

The league usually takes officials assigned to the divisional round -- not the wild-card round -- to work the Super Bowl. But officials that earn high grades this weekend could and would be under consideration for the Super Bowl.

One league source did not express surprise at Boger's performance; others around the league have commented on it during various points of the season, and the NFL has received mixed reviews for mixing its officiating crews in postseason games, taking officials from different crews and assigning them to work together.

Boyd's touchdown gave Cincinnati a 20-6 lead with just under two minutes remaining in the first half Saturday. Burrow rolled right to avoid pressure and threw from close to the sideline. Play continued despite an erroneous whistle by an official, who thought Burrow stepped out of bounds. Boyd caught the 10-yard pass in the back of the end zone, and the play counted despite protests from the Raiders, who cited the rule that the ball should be returned to the previous spot.

NFL senior vice president of officiating Walt Anderson said after the game that Boger and his crew "did not feel that the whistle was blown before the receiver caught the ball."

"We confirmed with the referee and the crew that on that play -- they got together and talked -- they determined that they had a whistle, but that the whistle for them on the field was blown after the receiver caught the ball," Anderson said, according to a pool report.

Inadvertent and/or erroneous whistles are not reviewable under the NFL's current instant replay rules.

"In the moment, we didn't know because we heard a whistle," Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby said. "The ref said he was out, and then they said it was a touchdown -- and then there was no review. So we were just like, 'Alright,' so we just kept going. We had our opportunities. We just didn't capitalize."

Raiders interim coach Rich Bisaccia echoed Crosby's sentiments, saying he had "no problems with the officiating today."

The Bengals held off the Raiders' late rally for a 26-19 victory, their first postseason win in 31 years.

If the league doesn’t make an effort to overrule clear and obvious calls from referees that are erroroneous, especially when they materially affect the outcome of a game, then the league has no interest in fair outcomes.

The message will be loud and clear: the league wants the ability to control who wins and who loses regardless of who deserves that outcome.

I wish people would demand this but it seems like a heavy lift.

Big wow if thats true and they can prove it

It's a Real Shame that NFC football teams have to exist.
All 16 NFC football teams are about as useless as -uropean soccer teams. Nobody should be forced to watch that lousy brand that is NFC football it is a waste of space and resources. It has been this way since the merger, which should not have occurred.

The NFC has won 28 Super Bowls and the AFC has won 27. You were saying?

Do not let facts get in the way of rants

someone remind me, why did the Pats let Brady go?

“Basically, it came down to his production and a diminishing of his physical skills,” Belichick said at a news conference.
