  1. Past hour
  2. Maybe you should've insisted that the Dems run a serious candidate against Trump. You could've even had a Real Primary if you weren't so busy pretending Biden was competent. Oh well. Better luck next time.
  3. There was video with Bosa in the background walking around the field after the game slapping hands.. and in the locker-room. He didn't look disabled or limping around. Not saying it's a fake injury at all,,, he might've felt a tweak. But this seems like more of an "abundance of caution" injury designation. I bet if the Bills were in a Divisional playoff game this weekend Joey would be out there.
  4. I do know that Brees and Rodgers each appeared in and won one Super Bowl. My point was that they each only made one SB appearance in 20 and 21 years playing, respectively (and they are both top-5ish QBs of all-time). This board would be going nuts if that were Josh. Also, in 15 years, Payton and Brees missed the playoffs 6 times (40% of their time together). Missing the playoffs that much with a top 5 all-time quarterback? This is the 8th year with Sean and Josh. Let's just say they made it to and won a Super Bowl this year. To match Payton's record with Brees, they would have to miss the playoffs 5 of the next 7 years (and not make another SB appearance). Yet Payton is lauded as a great coach for that one Super Bowl. If that is how the McD era played out, Super Bowl and then missing the playoffs that much, what would be his legacy? Sure, we would be grateful for the Super Bowl, but I'm sure there would be plenty of posters saying if we had a different coach, Josh would have had 5 Super Bowls. Rodgers has missed the playoffs 9 times in 21 years (43% of his career). And I know it was many different coaches and regimes, but the Packers had Favre and then Rodgers for 34 years in a row. Three Super Bowl appearances (two wins). That is one Super Bowl appearance every 12 years (or one Super Bowl win every 17 years) with two phenomenal quarterbacks. Sometimes you guys make it sound like just having a top 5-10 quarterback should automatically equal consistent Super Bowl appearances and wins. It doesn't. Fair enough on the Shula/Marino point. I could see giving a coach who has won that much previously the benefit of the doubt. But what was that team's issue? Oh yeah, they couldn't get past the Bills. Similar to the Bills and Chiefs recently, or the Colts and Pats (in the Brady/Manning era), etc. And point taken on Reeves. He and Elway did make some Super Bowls but couldn't win one, and then after Reeves was fired, they did win with Shanahan. So, that is a point in the fire McD, someone else might be able to do it side. But at the same time, (much like Manning's last SB win) it wasn't really the quarterback that got them to and won those bowls. TD and Shanahan's run schemes carried that team those two years. Elway was a shell of his former self. And I'm sure at the time there was talk of firing Reeves because he can't win the Big One, but not sure if anyone was saying he squandered Elway's career, they had their shots. Yes, I may have been stretching a bit with McNabb, just trying to make the point, but he was a first round draft pick and an MVP (even if not to the caliber of the other players discussed). Yes, thanks, made a brain fart in my post. Because I was listing Shula in the not having won with Marino category, I accidentally included him in the not won at all category, when as you said he obviously had the two SB wins in the early 70s (with the undefeated team and no name defense).
  5. Projectile Homelander. Enjoying your Daily Dose of Dissatisfaction!
  6. Let’s make one thing clear. While cocaine is a horrible, addictive drug, that indirectly destroys lives, cocaine overdose fatalities are relatively uncommon. Fentanyl, on the other hand, is a super potent opiate. About 50 times more potent than heroin. The vast majority of overdose deaths in the US are due to fentanyl. Almost all of the fentanyl in the US comes from Mexico or Asia. Very little come through the Caribbean. Trump admin has provided no proof that any of the blown up ships were transporting fentanyl. If they were transporting drugs, was almost surely cocaine. Yet Trump admin has conflated these two drugs. I’m not sure if they are just stupid, or whether they realize these boats don’t have fentanyl, but are trying to convince their followers that they are transporting fentanyl.
  7. Studies show that statins WILL lower your cholesterol, but will NOT increase your lifespan. The exception to that is if you've had a heart attack. Then there IS some benefit to taking statins. (not huge, but some) My dad had heart issues and took statins until his quality of life became intolerable. (memory fog, muscle pain) He ditched the statins and ended up dying of something NON heart-related years later.
  8. I have my doubts he will upgrade the WR room much. At least not in a significant way. It's all due to focusing on culture and fit over talent. They seem very against talent if it comes with a diva attitude
  9. Not sure I remember that. 6th Round pick, starting NFL CB over a 1st Round pick...I guess I'm trying to understand the context of him not being very good. I always thought he was solid. Bad game here or there, sure. Not sure he was ever consistently bad
  10. The playoffs are not guaranteed, this is the time of year bosa was signed to make an impact and now of course he is hurt. he may never even play in a playoff game here if they lose the next two games.
  11. Sure there is a possibility that going all in doesn't work, you don't win a Super Bowl and are back to being irrelevant for multiple seasons. I am also of the opinion that Beane and McDermott has gotten this team as far as they can take them. A lot of that has to do how they built this team. They focus on culture over talent isn't working. It wins in the regular season but you need elite playnakers on both sides of the ball to win a Super Bowl. Another one is drafting for team fit versus taking the best player available.
  12. Kinda weird how people are always wanting to emigrate to majority white nations.
  13. One bonus I just thought of to Houston winning - we ideally want to be the 6 seed if we're assuming Baltimore wins the AFCN. For that to happen we ideally want Houston tying or beating our record. That means we travel probably to Indy or maybe Jacksonville in the wildcard round. That's a preferable outcome to traveling to Baltimore IMO.
  14. I like most of what you said. Beane keeps assuming player performance trajectories will keep improving or stay the same. They don’t. Most of these players prime years are 3-6 years depending on positions. Done a poor job of replenishing wr, DT (before this last draft- it was just d Carter in 2 years) and LB in the draft. And to that end. He’s trading up way too much. We’re losing a lot of mid round picks because he thinks he MUST have this or that player. Hasn’t worked out.
  15. What’s funny about this list is all of these guys have played in one outside of system players and somebody that shouldn’t even be on the list in the first place. Randall Cunningham? Give me a break. Moon and Fouts were great QB’s but lessons on why offensive diversification matters. Heavy pass first systems that had defenses that splintered. You could easily argue the systems that made them great were so severely flawed they could never go further, and yes, that is on the coach. Point to them for innovation but not practicality. But those players really have nothing in common with the Bills situation. Watching people try and normalize our inability to even get to the big game is humorous to say the least.
  16. The Projectile Vomit Pace of your posts really highlights the Libnut sense of dissatisfaction. A nice bonus of Trump's election win!
  17. This is one of those fake Bosa injury reports posted in New England. Josh has a sore elbow,could be out for the season
  18. I probably would say they most closely resemble the 2011 Ravens with a better QB and a worse defense. 2011 Ravens were a 12-4 team but did win on the road in the playoffs. But the Bills if they should make a run will probably make it off of Josh and the ground game and a defense that “gets hot”. Who knows the AFC Isn’t exactly having a power house team you really fear even on the road
