Belichick was Darth Vader. Reid is the Grim Reaper. McDermott is awkward nice guy who tried to use the 9/11 hijacking for a motivational speech. See the difference?

The Bills knew Baltimore would smack them in the mouth and we should have been better prepared for that. Not only was the trick play a bad call at bad timing, Connor McGovern getting held out bc the spotter saw something really chapped my a** too. I'm 100% for player safety, but that happening during that drive was just confusing and lacked real-time communication. And everyone was standing around with their hands up looking for someone to explain what was going on. I think those types of things added up, team couldn't get refocused, I think we're a tougher team than what we showed last night. I really thought it would be one of those ground and pound games, but I think we got ahead of ourselves.

Actual text messages from the MS TANF scandal revealed through discovery: 1) Brett Favre to Nancy New who would delegated the TANF fund dispersements: "If you were to pay me is there any way the media can find out who it came from and how much?" https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/37565299/brett-favre-mississippi-welfare-case-line-explained 2) Favre to Prevacus CEO Jacob VanLandingham: "Nancy said he isn't our type." Prevacus CEO Jacob VanLandingham replies: "F---! Well we may need the governor to make him our type." https://mississippitoday.org/2022/04/04/phil-bryant-brett-favre-welfare-scandal-payout/ 3) Prevacus CEO VanLandingham to MS Governor Phil Bryant: "Yes, I got subpoenaed and just gave them everything." MS Governor Phil Bryant replies: "Not good..." https://www.mississippifreepress.org/bryant-texts-favre-partner-sought-trumps-help-funding-drug-company-named-in-tanf-scandal/ The only reason Favre couldn't invest in that company is because he couldn't get free federal money from the state of MS laundered through bogus non-profits like what Nancy New ran. Favre still hasn't fully paid everything back and he knew what he was doing, as indicated in the first text messages about the media not finding out. What is Favre's type as indicated in the 2nd cited texts? And why did former MS governor Phil Bryant say complying with law enforcement was "Not good"? Because without the "good ole boys" centuries of corruption in the south, those "good ole boys" wouldn't have any wealth at all.

If you could compare Allen's mental growth the last few years based on this stat, where would you say he is?

IMO arrested means in handcuffs. Being booked is a different thing folks try to rationalize, but when you're in handcuffs, bottom line is you're arrested. Campbell was placed in handcuffs so he was arrested IMO. Legally, Tyreek asked them for the citation reason 3 times and they defer to asking him about his seatbelt. Again he's a block from the stadium. I know I will get vilified for this but Tyreek knew his rights, asked the right questions, and complied legally. A lot of folks are going to differ bc of the fandom, but he was targeted IMO and it is very common with LEOs. He was pulled over for a seatbelt, it's all they acknowledge in the videos, he was arrested just not booked, as was Calais. An officer has already been placed on paid leave yesterday. Legally, Tyreek was within his rights to roll his window up after "complying" and handing over his license. Even legal expect YouTube influencers agree and say he will win any retroactive cases.

I'm willing to bet there is going to be so much bulletin board material from Miami leading up to Thursday this week... Them and their fans are already acting like it's vice versa, like we're 2-13 against them and coming up with excuses about Josh's hand already.

It seems like officiating has really been declining for the last few years. One thing I've always had a bone to pick about is the fact it's the NFL and all of the officials are part-time employees if I'm not mistaken. That just seems silly considering it's the largest and most profitable sports league on the planet and our officials are part-timers, but yet they're making $250,000 salaries as part-timers. And many are working as lawyers, teachers, etc in their spare time. They should be spending their spare time re-learning and taking quizzes on the rules. It's not surprising they're making blown calls when you realize this.

How is this news?

Just wanted to share 😀 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol7ZJ2_eTLs

I'm curious to see how the height strategy works out, I'd still like to see another WR signing tho

I plan on watching it, secretly (not so much) I kinda want him in Buffalo.

he's trying to rebrand himself see!!

no i liked "2011 to 2018" because it definitely felt like that

that was an insane run, i remember it like it was yesterday. but you know who beat his a** in the regular season in 2011?! A nickel back named Drayton Florence.

si senor! okay I'll take out the offensive guru part. i still think belichick could call a better game than any OC that worked for him and most in the NFL.

possibly a slight exaggeration but i feel like there are worse exaggerations...

Hello fellow Bills fans, welcome to my question of the day, I hope you all are well and moving on from the recent Diggs stuff. I was reading this ESPN article that came out today about Belichick and him not being hired or even considered in this last NFL coaching job carousel - https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39955777/how-patriots-legend-bill-belichick-end-nfl-job Is it at all possible for McD to have a similar career path? My gut overwhelmingly tells me no, but I do wonder.... Let me know your thoughts and why!

LOL, not an ideal outcome but not as bad as it could have been. I didn't say he wasn't motivated in Chicago, I am saying he played for 2 different head coaches in 3 years, had no real offensive passing weapons outside of Kmet, had an awful offensive line, all managed by a GM who basically claimed Caleb Williams over a year ago.

I think Fields is the type to take all of this and use it as motivation, more so than ever before. Whether or not Chicago has a good front office, I don't think they have the coaches. They didn't give Fields any weapons and I'm long on him. Going from that situation, to Pittsburgh, and sitting behind Russell Wilson will be good for him, even as unorthodox as Russell is.

I gotta ask... Is Burrow's window closing??

What are we making coaching reservations a year in advance like it's Nobu?

All this to say, Favre is a complete idiot. Whether the Jenn Sterger harrassment (while Favre's wife was fighting cancer) or this, the dude has a mental problem and knows he can get away with a lot just by his name. The irony in the welfare scandal he stole from is that Favre made over $150 million in his career.

Obviously I'm late to this thread, but as the only living member of Bills Mafia in the 90's from Mississippi, I can clif note this whole saga. The federal government sends TANF funds to each state for families living below the poverty line. (MS is the poorest state in the U.S. and 20% of Mississippian's live below the poverty line) The previous and current governors of MS, Phil Bryant and Tate Reeves, basically made those funds their own personal slush fund, spending over $1 million on personal trainers (with no results!), investing into companies, including $2 million in a nasal spray Favre was hawking that could cure concussions, plus over $5 million for a volleyball arena at the University of Southern Mississippi (his daughter was on the team at the time), and much more. So far, around $90 million has been discovered as embezzled and funneled elsewhere. Of the 600,000 Mississippian's that live below the poverty line, only 200 people received any TANF funds. In addition to all this, Favre knowingly tried to be discreet about it because he knew it was wrong and he'd take a beating in the media. Of course it got out, he tried to intimidate people like Pat McAfee and Shannon Sharpe by suing them and of course he lost. The state auditor is just as culpable, it happened on his watch and he didn't do anything about it until the FBI started investigating it, since then he's been acting like the whistleblower, but he's really just another wannabe politician. In summary: MS is also the least educated state in the US, the most unhealthy, with citizen's averaging the shortest life span than any other state, even though the state leadership claims they're pro-life. The state really hasn't changed much since the end of the Civil War and the people who were stolen from essentially are used to being taken advantage like this and have too much real-life poverty concerns to spend time being outraged about this. Mississippi is also a small pond with big fish as they say, and this type of stuff has been going on there for centuries.

It's hard for me to stress about that considering we were relying on our 3rd string defense for the most part. I'm a big believer in the 80/20 philosophy.
