May Day 10

I'm kind of glad the bills didn't run into this buzzsaw

Chiefs refusing to try a rushing play is the story of this butt kicking.

Are the Chiefs not allowed to run the ball? Terrible play calling imo

Just looked up some stuff. I hadn't realized he was a DB coach for the Bills in 1985. His first gig. He played at Yale. Was a 3x all American. I knew he played S for the Lions in the 70s. He also had a stretch with the Bengals. He won coach of the year in 2001 for the bears. Lost his only playoff game. Jauron was a Marv Levy pick. It makes a lot of sense. A really smart and even keel coach. Levy also was on record saying he wanted him as his DC in 1992 and 1993

A game-wrecker on the d line. If Chris Jones had been a bill, I think we would have a few titles, going for another

That's sad. The depths of the drought years. Good football man though

He gives off a vibe you don't get too often with such a superstar. While he has the money, the celebrity fiance, and is at the top of the country's biggest entertainment industry... he also seems so authentic. His speech he seemed very humble and said he is grateful for and looks up to the other nominees. Thanked those in the organization, said he loves his teammates and the lockerroom, and spent time on his family... and they showed his dad crying. Through the speech, Allen seemed a touch nervous, fighting back tears, and his voice was quivering a little bit. It made him feel like a normal person. There was no phoniness or cool fronts (like Burrow puts up). It wasn't just pr veneer You also had Dawkins up there who seemed happier than anybody, which is telling. Being a middle-aged adult now, I never thought there would be an athlete I would put on the same pedestal I used to put Pat LaFontaine on as a kid. Josh Allen exceeds that. I almost want him to achieve a Lombardi as much as I do the Bills. *I know a family who had a sick child. Josh Allen reached out for the kid (or visa versa) and did his thing. Tragically the kid didn't make it through his most recent battle. A member of the family was at an event and shook Allen's hand, thanked him, and gave him an update. Allen remembered the kid and had tears in his eyes as he hugged the family member and looked leveled (I saw pictures).

Allen was front and center last night, a feature of the show, and he also won a few peripheral awards. I think the NFL loves him as a face of the league.

Very happy for Allen and the bills franchise. I couldn't handle Lamar winning. The thought was making me feel hopeless

Hey! He didn't thank the fans!

This is like the Josh allen/snoop show.

Allen was walking away with it before the bills locked in the 2 seed and shut it down. Lamar grabbed a bunch of compiler stats and somehow stole the mvp.

meaningless wins that serve nothing but convincing the rube owner that everything is working fine.

I collect vintage cards at this point. I may grab early junk era things like Ozzie Smith/Gwynn graded rookies... Just picked up a nice Eddie Murray, but mostly really old vintage. 1950s, 1940s, 1960s, maybe some 30's.

I watched the rumble itself. It was mildly entertaining. Better than the past 2 that I watched IMO... I usually watch the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania for the most part But man, so many of these "star" wrestlers seem so miscellaneous and look the same. It is hard for a "casual" fan to know the difference between any of them. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Damien Priest, AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Uso, etc They all seem like pieces of the same guy. Its hard to even differentiate between one or the other at times. They are all pretty... boring. I really miss the days that each wrestler had their own look, gimmick, and the royal rumble was super fun putting them on display and getting them to play off each other in the ring at the same time. Logan Paul is the best thing going and was the most fun part. Cena looked super slow and I knew there was no way they can have that headline Wrestlemania. I do like the fact that they featured a surprise winner.

Caribbean World Series starts today.

I would be up for getting rid of the color rush. Maybe create an alternate kit that is a throwback to the 90s to be used 1 game a season. The Bills' uniforms are pretty classy and honestly should never change. I was skeptical of the white helmet when they made that change, but it is a great look.

Are we assuming that Josh Allen doesnt want McDermott as head coach? I think that is a pretty large assumption. *If* Allen went to ownership asking for a different direction, I think ownership should consider that.

Red helmet is ugly.

I will say. If you can trade draft assets for a proven pass rusher in his prime. I think you do it at this point.

I agree with this, or at least hope Smiley is sent packing. So many special teams gaffes that are inexcusable. No reason for any player shakeups before the league calendar starts.

That is true. But the Bills disadvantaged themselves having to play for their lives for like 9 weeks. KC had their spot locked up, got a nice rest, and also got a nice draw of a Miami team who quit in the cold. Buffalo also had all sorts of scheduling nonsense with the snow and were terribly banged up for the game. I think having 1 team get the treasure-trove of the #1 seed in each Conference is terrible competitive balance, especially with how variable a team's schedule and division may be over #s 2-3. It doesn't guarantee success, but having the bye/free wild card win, an easier divisional game, and home field for the AFCCG is a huge leg up.

Today I am mad at coaching and Brady, and Im not usually a blame the coach guy. Cant figure out why they didnt use Cook on that last drive. Some puzzling moves.

I wonder if Cook got hurt on that acrobatic TD run? It is the only explanation for the foolery that followed on offense.

I would probably watch it if it were the bills, but I'm sure it would be a half hearted exhibition.
