WOW, way too much time left for Buffalo, and if they score, there won't be much left for KC

actually, Buffalo hasn't struggled to score on offense this year. What THEY have to be careful about is leaving any time left on the clock when they do score. Because that is a death sentence vs the Chiefs.

Again, neither ref could actually see the ball

The ref who would have been facing the ball was 100% blocked out of view by all the big linemen, as there was a camera down the line that was like 10 feet in the air and we couldn't even see the ball there because of all the players, no ref standing on the field was seeing it when we couldn't.

Again, so why should the ref who had a view of Allen’s back get the benefit to overrule the other? If either did see the ball, which one would it have been?

you keep saying "overrule" but that's a woefully inaccurate term when neither one was "overruling" the other.

What does seeing Allen's face vs back have any bearing on it, neither view helps you determine where the ball is in relation to the line to gain.

It's the same way all ball spots happen, the first ref to be given the ball is the one who spots it, if you have a problem with that, take it up with how the game is officiated, but there was nothing nefarious here.

    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
    • Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
