They didn't "hit the wrong spot." They hit exactly what was intended, and followed it up seconds later with another, again, exactly what was intended and what the physics suggested. Nonsense.

that people don't understand how HR works in todays world blows my mind. i can excuse people not getting the whole point Roger serves. He acts on the decisions of the owners en masse. he's supposed to be the face of the bad guy, the heel to the guilt and blame of the problems to keep the individual owners at bay. that people willy nilly don't get upset at the league corporate system is what is funny. the administrative stuff is amazing. not to be political at all but that the league was willing to fine teams for not changing their logo during June is an example of how the administrative wing of the nfl is far more powerful than just Goodell.

Seven out of the last eight years of making the playoffs after 17 years of drought and you focus on the (in actuality) 2 years at the beginning…

What does that have to do with the Sabres "loss of Canadian fans"?

I went to the wine festival there one year, and they offered rides on the track with a professional driver. He would go as fast or slow as you wanted. We choose fast. It was a blast. Used to be you could (not legally) go up on the train trestle, not sure if you can still can since they re-built it.

Looking at head-to-head, McDermott has done well against the coaches on that list. A couple of near misses (Eagles, Broncos) thanks to FGs. But beyond that, lists and rankings are subjective. They're typically nothing more than a means for lazy content providers to publish something to stir up debate and get clicks when they've got nothing to write about.

Do you believe that Sean McDermott is a better head coach than Sean Payton? If so, we STRONGLY disagree. Payton has a Super Bowl and would have 2 without the worst call in NFL History. He changed the momentum of the Super Bowl with a surprise onside kick. He went to Denver with a bottom 10 roster and went to the playoffs. Sean Payton is a way better coach than Sean McDermott.

I think our QB is better. If our coach was better then they (KC) would be up against an all time great coach/QB combo but our coach isnt nearly as good

He's passing game coordinator for the Cowboys under Shottenheimer but i don't think he's going to call anything. His miami meltdown also probably didn't help my opinion of his playcalling. Like what are you doing running 92 offensive plays in that heat and passing way too often. The Bengals/Broncos games before his firing were also, very poorly called games - 8 RB rushing attempts against cincy, and just a total inability to manage clock was becoming a major issue.

Fair or not McDermott will be judged by winning a Super Bowl. If he wins one, then he will be considered a legendary coach in WNY. If he doesn't then fans will be angry at Terry Pegula for keeping a coach who wasted Allen's career.

Don’t forget HCQ (while defending masking, social distancing, lockdowns and riots/protests with a straight face).

There are a whole bunch of terms and jargon in the antitrust law and economics space (I am an economist who consults on antitrust issues in mergers and antitrust litigation, among other things). Generally, people don't say amongst themselves "let's collude!" and it's even rare for people to explicitly collude (think of a smoke filled room where business leaders in an industry agree to set prices or divide territories/customers). And as someone noted, a league is a different sort of animal than Coke vs. Pepsi. The league I am sure has argued over the years that they have rules in place to make sure there is in theory a level playing field among teams and that the real competition they face is other forms of entertainment, such as college football, etc. Here, the issue is monopsony (basically, monopoly from the standpoint of a buyer rather than a seller) which is the power to decrease wages or other terms as a buyer of labor . . . Sorry for the digression . . .

Payton's ahead of him because of getting a rookie QB to the playoffs or whatever. But he was absolutely outcoached in the playoffs against buffalo to an almost embarassing degree. That was the popular "Upset alert" and they promptly got stomped. To me - PFF is supposed to be the "analytics" group, and this article didn't offer much of anything to back it up.

For quite a few years until Ontario repealed the 'Sunday blue laws' regarding businesses opening, one could go down to the local gin mill and watch some dancer take off almost every stitch of clothing. You could not, however, find an open hardware store to get some absolutely vital part for home repair. 🤔🙄

I love the visual of this clip. thin lizzy whisky in the jar

And LA. Both Marxists. Both disasters.

I’m not big on McDermott. I think he’s fine. He’s like the Brock Purdy of HCs to me. He could be top 10. It’s not an outrage that he’s not. McDermott has a generational QB who has been outstanding in the biggest moments. McDermott and his defense have failed in those moments. You could do worse but you could do better.

None of your predicted disasters have materialized. It’s easy to vomit something up about eating cats, border walls, and golfing. Get back to me when you get something right.

Sean Mcdermott lost to Jason Garrett's offfense two weeks in a row to blow the division and then a wild card game. He broke the cowboys playoff drought. Reid fired him a year later after his defense stunk in the playoffs again. Replaced him with an offensive coach at DC. That is what I think of when I think of mcdermott honestly. The Bills are good and he runs a good culture and locker room but I can't help that is what i think of. I am not sure he ever gets over the hump here but he isn't going anywhere so it's all a waste of time discussing it honestly.

Tomlin's one super bowl win involved Tom Brady's torn ACL, and a playoff upset of the colts by the chargers.

By the way, what happened in NYC the last 5 years that led to these problems?

Sean as good as he obviously is will be forever tainted by one game, and we all know which game that is, and why. Sean took this organization from a perennial loser to being a perennial contender division champion and playoff team, he doesn’t get the nod he deserves in that way.

I agree with this, except I think the loss in the regular season finale was a thing of beauty, and actually a sign of McD’s growth. That was a masterfully played loss to drop the Cheaters* out of the top spot in the draft. How to lose without looking like you are trying to lose is an art.

this song comes with a backstory. I am dedicating it to my grand daughter who will be two in a couple weeks. Girly has stolen grandmas heart. And for whatever reason the lyrics to this song came up and I thought its Perfect. I am totally in love and cannot live without her. She gives me Life and sass and she is going to be a chip off her parents block. Which I might add is granite solid. its the best time to be in love actually 😄 Grand funk railroad American Band
