If i set this post aside as a stand alone summation instead of a retort, I really like this post MS. Get off the stats machine and isolate playoff games and some key division games and I would like to agree to The bolded The defense does not finish out drives well in enough of the key moments late season. When it really really matters. I expect the Coaching is well aware So we need plenty of Josh And a Defense that has another level when the pressure it at it's peak Go Bills

Uh, have you seen Josh Allen play football? He almost got it there *while* being hit!

Your Mount Rushmore for bands from Buffalo

I served/waited on them for a dinner to celebrate their 1st record signing contract with local record producer (Lenny Silver) around '78-'79. -
I’ll go with Spiro Gyra. I had some of their stuff.

Totally disagree. It was a late opening window, and Josh needed to either hit Diggs flashing wide open across the middle or slide into the pocket to buy another half second for Shakir to break into the opening in the back of the end zone. When you’ve got a huge pocket and 2 open WRs and don’t get the ball anywhere near either of them, that’s on the QB. Look again at how much room he has if he slides to his right. Look at how open Diggs was, and we know that Shakir broke open a split second later. If a QB needs all that AND for his LT to completely stone a HOF pass rusher, then there’s no chance of success. It was poor pocket awareness on Allen’s part. That is a play he simply has to make with the season on the line.

I like football, and it's no more second rate than college.

ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons issued a statement on the June 6 assaults against federal law enforcement officers in Los Angeles. 🔎Read his full statement: “What took place in Los Angeles yesterday was appalling. As rioters attacked federal ICE and law enforcement officers on the LA streets, Mayor Bass took the side of chaos and lawlessness over law enforcement. "Our brave officers were vastly outnumbered, as over 1,000 rioters surrounded and attacked a federal building. It took over two hours for the Los Angeles Police Department to respond, despite being called multiple times. The brave men and women of ICE were in Los Angeles arresting criminal illegal aliens including gang members, drug traffickers and those with a history of assault, cruelty to children, domestic violence, robbery, and smuggling. "These violent rioters will be held accountable if they harm federal officers, and make no mistake, ICE will continue to enforce our nation’s immigration laws and arrest criminal illegal aliens. Sanctuary politicians would do well to remember that impeding our efforts only endangers their communities, law enforcement officers, and the detainees they claim to support.” -

Who was invited to Josh and Hailee's wedding?
DeltaDigital replied to Willie West's topic in The Stadium Wall
he's BFF's with my sister in-laws husband, I see him regularly. nice guy. fairly quiet, super cool talking to him about the Cup win last year. My brother in-law was drinking from the cup the night they won it in the locker room. wild pics -
I can’t name one player in that league and I’d prefer to keep it that way.

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. -
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.

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. -
Time for the ole' hickory shampoo.

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.

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)
-
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.

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
-
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.
-
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.

Not an actual group but I'd put Garry Mallaber up at the top...
