From a reader:

Greetings from snowy Buff-town! I guess the ten-man thing was a tribute to the missing man. On Jim Rome’s show today, there was apparently some minor controversy that the Bills should have taken a knee for that down. I’m not even sure they knew what was going on.

Several of the post-game recaps failed to mention it, too. I wonder how many people noticed. In any case, I don’t see why the Bills should have to forego their first down for the sake of the tribute. I suppose they could have sent out ten men themselves if they knew what was going on, but that’s asking a lot of them.

UPDATE from another reader:

If you listened to the post-game press conference, Joe Gibbs admitted he wasn’t even aware what was going on until his defensive coordinator told him after the fact. I don’t think you can blame the Bills for not honoring the Redskins ten-man salute when the Redskins coach was clueless about it.

Joe Gibbs was apparently clueless about many things beyond that, wasn’t he?
