Once again the defense is on the field way too long. Their injuries and just getting worn down is catching up with them again, which I thought was obviously the case last week. But not having Kam in their in specifically hurting them big time tonight. McCoy is so slippery he almost always gets by the first rush, so you absolutely need a guy on the second level to clean that shit up, which would be Kam and Wagner and KJ too but Kam is the enforcer, dishes out punishment, that's completely gone. Bennet even though is a pass rusher his presence would help a lot too.
Dude goes down the first time he's hit, every time. Michael is looking like Shawn Alexander's last season in Seattle- getting knocked down by a fart in the wind.
Prosisee isn't any better either, but at least he's a good receiver. This is going to be a major problem since there is no guarantee Rawls is going to be anything close to how good he was last season, considering that he didn't look good before he got injured again in the beginning of the season.
I really wish they didn't fucking cut Turbin, he was always a solid number two and he ran hard as fuck, much more similar to Lynch. Michael is a finesse guy and that his doesn't fit with this offensive line, we need a guy who's going to consistently hit the hole hard and fight for yards, basically pound the defense and wear them down. The only way Michael can be successful is by being a number two/change of pace type RB, he's proven time and time again he's not capable of handling the workload by himself, other than that one early season game against SF where he had 106 yards (42 coming off one play).
All we can do is pray to the football gods that Rawls comes back healthy & strong and can at least be somewhat as good as he was last season.

Haha why because they messed up on a call at the end of the first half on a FG attempt? lol how about all the missed calls and bad calls against the Seahawks? A phantom PI that have the Bills a first down? Blatant back to back holding by the bills offensive line at the end of the game that they didn't call? The refs were all over the place.
The fact is, the refs have been horrible all year across the board. That is a direct result of the NFL adding so many rules/penalities which makes it nearly impossible for refs to do their jobs. The NFL is dangerously entering NBA territory where everything is a penalty, they've already made it nearly impossible for defense's to play defense. 3rd down and 35? Defensive holding, five yard penalty automatic first down! It's extremely unbalanced as it is.
Its absolutely ridiculous when we're seeing teams get 23 penalties called against them in a single game as was the case with the Raiders last week, and far too many outcomes of games are being decided by penalties. Everyone talks about how much better the NFL was back in the day. Well, do you know why that is? Because players were allowed to play football, now everything is a penalty so much so that the refs don't even know all of the rules which leads to complete inconsistency from game to game. Last week thr Saints were repeatedly allowed to run illegal pick plays on offense that won them the game, where is the outrage? Right, the Seas lost so no one cares!

I figured there'd be a sloppy referee call to flip the narrative against the seahawks after the players got vocal about the flag discrepancy. Sure enough, no whistle on the offsides for Sherman (proven by the original footage) then Gruden goes full retard and says Sherman had dirty intentions.
And here we are; people not looking past their original confirmation bias or looking at the basic rules. It was framed as though the play was dead and Sherman tried to injure the guy when in reality there was no whistle and the guy kicked into him while he was going for the ball. People see what they want and hear what they want

The NFL needs refs that are dedicated to their craft. Instead the NFL has refs that have other jobs (i.e. lawyers and judges)......for at least 6 more years.... This is why the officiating is so bad and they don't know the rule book. Would you want a part time surgeon performing a critical task on you that doesn't know all of the procedure? No one should be allowed to half ass a craft (in this case it isn't even their full career) and keep their job.

How this team has 5 wins at this point is beyond my comprehension. Quite possibly the worst OL in NFL history, no running back, a hobbled RW, and a defense that is on the field 70% of the game. If we some how make it to the SB, we may be considered the best team, or luckiest, in the entire existence of football.
This team is built the exact opposite way championship teams are built...

I saw plenty of holds all night by BUF OL. It was shocking they werent called.
