the 2014/2015 nfl thread v. R U RDY 4 SUM FOOTBAW?

Bills offense is terrible. Even with the defense killing it you can't hold Aaron Rodgers down forever. I still expect GB to win unless the Bills can punch in a TD here.

On an awesome sidenote, it's been confirmed that Boobie Dixon and Sammy Watkins will be partying on New Year's Eve at none other than The Vault Nightclub. Boobie was in a couple weeks ago and loved the place because he can relax in privacy without getting mobbed by fans, unlike the clubs in Buffalo.

To say I'm excited and honored is the biggest understatement in the history of statements. I'm freaking psyched.
 
They kind of lost me when explaining that rule. Not sure how it comes into play anyway because they tackled Lacie in the endzone for the safety anyway.

Definitely the best defensive line in the league. I don't think there can be any argument about that after today.
 
I just read up on it and you're right, it's to stop teams from intentionally advancing the ball on a fumble inside 2 minutes of the 4th quarter. The only person that can recover the ball is the person that fumbled it. The play is blown dead as soon as anyone else from the offense recovers it.

I honestly thought the offense would have to play a lot better than that to beat the Packers. I knew the Bills defense was good, but I didn't think they'd be able to shut down Rodgers like that. They got some help from some dropped passes too, but they also dropped a couple interceptions so that kind of washes out.

It's win/win imo. I've always liked the Packers, and they're still going on to the playoffs regardless of today's loss. At the same time the Bills got a much-needed win. Not just needed to keep their playoff hopes alive but a win the FANS needed after 14 years of heartbreak. If we win in Oakland next week it will be the first winning record season the Bills have had in over a decade.

Good game overall. GB defense looked a lot more solid than I gave them credit for.
 
indeed. an interception on each of minnesota's last two possessions. that's the exact sort of adrenaline booster the lions needed today. hopefully they keep it going through half time.
 
Story of my life.

I just read on NFL.com that today was the worst statistical game of Aaron Rodgers' career. I'd like to say the Bills defense is the best, but they're not. It's the defensive line. They're the reason for the INTs today, not the secondary.

The Bills front 4 right is in contention for the best defensive line the league has seen in the past 10 years imo. The only other Dline that might take that title is the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers which was 12 years ago. Besides them, I think you have to go back to the 85 Bears for a comparable Dline. After them, you have to go back to some of the teams in the 70s and 60s. I think they're better than the 2011 Giants Dline and the 2011 49ers Dline. The 2005 Steelers too.
 
They are certainly special.

The pack looked off today, but thast not mentioned to take away from your win and the Bills likely caused a bunch of this.

Can't win them all and I hope this loss has a strong positive effect on the team going into the playoffs. It certainly points out that we need to have a different aproach when we go up against strong D teams like the Bills and Lions.

The sad thing is(for me at least) is that none of that really matters. GB will go on to the playoffs and probably the SB(they're my favorites to win it all at the moment) and the Bills won't even make the playoffs. That's just the way it goes. I'm used to it by now.

First winning record in a decade? Teams have made the playoffs in the past few years with a 7-9 record? Doesn't matter. The one year the Bills have a winning record the Wildcard race in the AFC consists of 8375935.3 teams with a 10-6 record. It just wasn't meant to be in 2014.
