New Yorkers are an annoying breed. They seem to believe that they cannot live anywhere else even though they constantly complain about the quality of life in New York. They should be able to afford to buy a nice rowhouse in Brooklyn or afford a relatively spacious apartment in Manhattan while working in poorly paid creative fields like "design" or something related to the arts and theater. And so they vote for anyone who sells them the pipe dream that NYC can become, at once, nicer and more affordable for them to pursue the creative lives they choose. And so NYC will become, at once, less nice and less affordable and they will move somewhere else.

This time of year there's always some kid who comes out of nowhere to be the camp/preseason star. This year feels like most positions are deep so it might be tough to make a name but I'll go Hancock from OSU as the guy who ends up contributing early. Thought this would make a good slow day thread

Buffalo at Miami 1989 - The entire final drive
Riverboat Ritchie replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
It was a 4pm game wasn’t it? 12 years old and parents made me go collect paper route money for Olean Times Herald. I remember watching that play through screen door of one of patrons on the route. Pretty sure I got a good tip after Kelly went in. the back pedal drop back is something. Go Bills. -
McDermott not in Top 10 of NFL coaches per PFF.

You and I have had this conversation before. We disagree greatly. You value the players on that team wayyyyy more than I do And that’s ignoring the fact that McD is the reason those players were gone in the first place. -

Feel like this is 90% of McDs resume. -
I think Jim Harbaugh is a very good coach. He took the 49ers to the Super Bowl. He won a national championship at Michigan. In his first year as the Chargers HC, he made the playoffs. He wins wherever he goes.

Not really. i think @Buffalo716 is over the top with his McD praise, but I do believe him and Beane do deserve credit for identifying and developing Allen. As well as overhauling the Bills losing culture. Now maybe if Payton is here in 2017, we feel comfortable drafting Mahomes and the Chiefs miss out on him, but the fact of the matter is if Payton was fired, he wouldn’t have ever considered Buffalo as a destination in 2017. And that’s kinda the problem I see with McD, largely. He deserves credit for Allen and the Bills turnaround. But what we need in 2025 and what we needed in 2017 are very different and that’s why I don’t think he’s too good to fire. If Payton was coach in 2020 to now, do I think we would’ve done better? Absolutely. But I wasn’t ready to fire McD then and can’t really hold that against anyone. -

Ethan in Cleveland replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
YouTube must be pushing the same thing to all of us. It popped up on my suggestions yesterday too. I forgot the drive started with a Marino INT by Odomes. The Kelly dive for a TD, is still a top 10 franchise play in my list. -

They should have gotten rid of him for Jim Harbaugh two years ago. He's Dungy 2.0 with the best QB in franchise history history who can't win the big game. Ironically if Allens wins one SuperBowl, then McDermott probably makes the HOF. If Bills don't make the SuperBowl this year, he hopefully is fired. All we can hope for is a SuperBowl win or an embarrassing playoff loss to move on. We are stuck in purgatory right now. The games are fun to watch, but failing to win a championship with the best QB in the NFL is inexcusable. I know this has been argued ad nauseum but many of us only care about a SuperBowl Championship now. Playoff appearances just aren't good enough. People said the same thing about Reeves with Elway and Schottenhemier with his various superstar players and playoff failures. Reeves at least made it to the SuperBowl. They even said the same thing about Shula with Marino. All that said, let's just play the games and see what happens in January. -
While there's still an outside chance that the scandal-plagued current mayor, Eric Adams, could win as an independent in the general election if several other candidates, including Republican Curtis Sliwa, get behind him, let's just say I'm not exactly confident that's how things will play out. Instead, it looks like New Yorkers saw the destruction of Chicago's socialist lunatic of a mayor and decided they wanted that too, but even worse. So, who exactly is Mamdani? He's the son of a Columbia professor (because, of course, he is) and a radical in every respect of the word. But what about his economic and social policies? In short, Mamdani is a communist, and not in the way that word is sometimes used on the right to describe crony capitalist Democrats. No, Mamdani is literally just a communist. Two of his primary proposals are government-owned grocery stores and rent control. With all that said, I'm not in much of a mood to further lament what is about to happen to New York City. It's about time the rest of America stopped feeling sympathy, as if this was the result of misguided naivete. No, they voted for an antisemitic Islamic communist with their eyes wide open. The destruction that is coming was a choice, and New Yorkers deserve to suffer the consequences of that. No federal bailouts and no interference to try to save them from themselves. Let it happen. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/06/25/new-york-city-just-chose-to-destroy-itself-and-its-time-to-let-it-happen-n2190880

But Allen has already done what no big arm "project" QB has done. But it took a few years to get Allen to this state. If we had Mahomes starting after his red shirt year, then McD/Bills might have a SB or 2. Fact is McD is here and not getting let go, barring a mental breakdown. This is the year where O and D should both be good. Nothing about getting to let alone winning the SB, is easy. -

SoCal Deek replied to Mango's topic in The Stadium Wall
Lots of talk on here about the Sabres. Has anyone considered that Terry may be thinking he’s just not been that good at owning an NHL hockey team? Successful people like to be successful. They also don’t like losing. I’m guessing he’s spent more than a few nights trying to decide if he’s capable of putting a winning team on the ice. And if his conclusion is that he’s not, I wouldn’t be the least bit shocked if he says ‘I know the many things that I’m good at, and this definitely isn’t one of them’. -

GunnerBill replied to 14774's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agree with all three of these. Stefanski is not a top 10 coach IMO. Tomlin I think is top 10 but is ranked too high and the lovefest for Jim Harbaugh is way over the top. If you want someone to turn around a bad team with boring football, he is your man. Otherwise, he ain't. No. -
I used to have free subscriptions to both FHM and Maxim. Publishers would offer it for free so they could pump up their numbers to charge advertisers more. FHM folded first, then Maxim went too upscale for my tastes.

If Sean Payton were here since 2017, do you agree that they’d have at least 1 Super Bowl? He would have been to Allen what Reid is to Mahomes. This is fair.
