  1. Past hour
  2. I can’t name one player in that league and I’d prefer to keep it that way.
  3. Do we know if Dion was at the wedding? Didn't see him in any of the pictures, although very few pictures seem to be out from the wedding.
  4. Pry a 30% chance if he had a clean pocket. It would've had to be a frozen rope throw for 40 air yards in a tight window to a smaller WR. A throw to Diggs probably gets you a first down and that clock keeps running. Chiefs may have burned a time out there so you get a 1st and 10 with 1:55 left at their 15 down three with them only one timeout left. I'll take my chances at that point of either scoring a TD with not a lot of time on the clock or a chip shot FG to tie the game and force OT. Point is they abandoned their ball control game plan at the worst time possible against a superior opponent (because of our cluster of injuries at LB) going into that game.
  5. That’s been addressed. Trump’s view was there was political persecution and/or prosecutorial overreach involved. He made a decision pardon as is consistent with his role as President. It’s up to each citizen to decide what that means to them. Outside federal charges, I would think these people, if charged and convicted, would garner no sympathy from President Trump. The question would be whether or not charges were brought, or not outside based on the politics of the local DA. Good news is there is something for everyone to be upset about should they so desire.
  6. Time for the ole' hickory shampoo.
  7. This is called outcome bias and is an easy (and wrong) trap to fall into. Had Josh thrown to Diggs and Diggs fumbles the ball, you could say “why didn’t Allen throw to a wide open Shakir?”. If Josh scrambles right, and tears his ACL, one can question “why didn’t he throw to diggs or shakir in the endzone?”. Josh made the right decision. You ALWAYS go endzone if the endzone is open because you don’t know what will happen after that if you take the shorter play. Mathematically, endzone will always be the right call due to the unknown. At a clip of 6 yards per play, we need 4 more plays to get into the endzone at a success rate/completion of (0.8) and not turn the ball over at (0.95). Combined chance per play = 0.8 × 0.95 = 0.76. You need 4 successful plays: 0.76⁴ = 0.333 or 33.3%. Reduced odds over one play touchdown. It was the right call. People can argue this (wrongly) until cows come home but Allen made the right decision. It is not his fault that Dawkins got manhandled.
  8. In the grander scheme of things this isn't as bad if a move for the Steelers as many think. Their defense is extremely good. They don't need much from the offense to win games. Rodgers isn't a world beater anymore...but he's steady and doesn't turn the ball over much historically. So if they get steady play I can see them pushing 10-11 wins and being in the hunt for the division late in the season. Makes it harder for Baltimore. And if Rodgers gets hurt again, play slips and it all goes sideways, they can see what they have in their late round rookie, pick high next year for a possible franchise QB and use it as leverage to finally move on from Tomlin (who I do think is a good coach. Just maybe time for someone new there)
  9. If he slides, the window to Shakir slams shut and it's a scramble drill. He trusted Dawkins to give him one more step and it just didn't work out. It kind of even fouled up the following 3rd down where Allen immediately bailed right to get away from that matchup and it took away the entire left side of the field, which was where that ball ultimately needed to go.
  10. Cam lewis is accrued veteran so he becomes an unrestricted free agent if cut and he will certainly sign with another team Good teams lose NFL quality NFL players As I said most teams don't have a 50-53 guy as versatile and team friendly as can.. plenty of teams need a guy who could play back up safety and back up slot and play special teams and be good In the locker room
  11. The play didn’t work. You keep arguing you take the TD every time, but the reality is that when we went for the TD, on a low percentage pass to a slot WR, we didn’t get it, it left us in 3rd and long and we lost. I would argue the reality of the situation has decided that was the wrong play.
  12. It wasn’t low percentage at all. Had Dawkins now been dog-walked, it would have been a nearly 100% chance of TD (Shakir’s catch % was over 90% at this point). PS, doing something else (like hitting Diggs for a 10 yard slant) or scrambling right is what is truly the low percentage TD pass. 0% actually.
  13. Not an actual group but I'd put Garry Mallaber up at the top...
  14. We didn’t score a TD. I would say a very good reason to not attempt a low percentage TD pass is because it’s a low percentage TD pass.
  15. Yes this is the same “he should have done something else” argument that has been refuted a thousand times. He did have room to scramble right. But this, as has been said before, is 1000% the wrong move. You take the TD. Every. Single. Time. You don’t take a 7 yard scramble to the right over a TD. The next play could be a fumble, INT, fluke snap, whatever. You take the TD 100 times out of 100. Bending and twisting every facet of this play to excuse Dawkins getting manhandled is a joke. This is absolute nonsense. Had Josh slid up into the pocket, Jones sacks him. Period. End of story. Literally zero question. You *NEVER* slide up into a bull rush. That is QB-ing 101. Chris Jones would have LOVED for Allen to slide up into that pocket.
  16. I have rewatched the 13 sec game but specifically the last minute. I still can't believe that defense folded faster than a 300lb Bills fan hitting a cheap folding table.
  17. Finding reeling once again. It's tough to keep up when you keep staking out ridiculous positions. 😂
  18. If the Bills win the Super Bowl they may host it sometime next March.
  19. Nobody is saying he should have slid the protection. They’re saying he should have slid right into the massive pocket. It was a 2 man rush with a double team on the right edge, two DTs playing contain, and then Dawkins blocking Chris Jones on the left edge. All you can ask of any LT matched up against Chris Jones is to lose slowly, and Dawkins did that. Josh had time and room to slide into the pocket, but he didn’t. He locked onto Shakir and stood directly in the way of where Jones was pushing Dawkins, ie. the worst possible place to be. Josh had a clean pocket and two open receivers. He doesn’t make many bad plays, but he did that time.
  20. Oh yeah. I would be disappointed if someone didn't furnish that apparel for him.
  21. Many have already said London Fletcher, but it bears repeating just how criminally underrated his time on the Bills was. Ray Lewis and Zach Thomas made the Pro Bowl over him every year at MLB, even in years where Fletch had better stats. I'm glad he finally started getting his due as a Redskin - he was a truly great player.
