Sounds like JD and Saleh are gone if they don't have a good season in 2024.
At that point, you need to just make the move. Basically giving your GM and coach an ultimatum just invites bad and desperate decisions that will continue to doom the franchise years after they are gone.

I guess I will wait and see what the bundle looks like, what it offers, and what the price point will be.
If it is something that gives me a few things I already pay for, and I would have to spend a marginal amount monthly, but I have access to a lot of RSNs and hassle-free sports under 1 roof, I think I will be down with this.
Its possible I would turn the service off for various seasons as well depending on what is offered

My son got into lacrosse last Summer.
I thought it was a nice breath of fresh air from the hyper-competitive parent-ruined travel sports.
It feels very grassroots. It was easy to pick up for beginners who have any athletic ability. The referees all seemed to enforce different rules, but they would always articulate all fouls and teach the kids. Parents, overall do not know what is going on, so everyone just sits there and watches.
Baseball locally is a joke. Its like the wild west and at every age group, 6 or 7 new travel teams pop up every year with some zany new name started by groups of angry parents/coaches. The season here is like 2 months, yet everyone thinks their kids are going pro.
Hockey is bad too, but there is a framework of a governing body(s) and any ordinary Joe cant just go and start a team.

I'll be the minority here but I think the Jets are close to being a playoff team, maybe a contender with a good offseason.
Big mistakes were not investing more in o line, giving Rodgers too much power (may have agreed to that to get him), and HACKETT.
If they fix the o line and Rodgers is healthy that will hide the Hackett effect. That defense is no joke. Pair it with an offense that doesn't go 3 and out all the time and you have something.
I agree, but I think they have this one shot at it. I'm definitely not shoveling dirt on the idea that they are going to be a contender for the Division next season.
If they start out poorly though, or even have a bad slide, the drama is going to be off the charts. I also do wonder how Rodgers will be health-wise. I also don't think you can just fabricate an O-line overnight, and they don't exactly have a ton of cap space and are short on picks.

The politics of which kid gets on a team, closed off in secret tryouts, whether a kid even gets a tryout or makes a team because of who the parents are "friends" with, kids making (or not making a team) depending on mom's looks, clinics and offseason workouts held in secret, rec leagues put on pause so travel teams get priority with field use and access to league funds, lesser kids kept out of clinics becuase they would "prevent the better kids from learning more", the cliquish and elitish behavior on the sidelines, on and on.
THATS what Im talking about. Witnessed (or heard about) ALL of this stuff. Im sure there are plenty of cases of really bad phyisical behavior. But that stuff is few and far between. However, the list of stuff I provided above is common and regular. The fights are bad...dont get me wrong. But the underhanded stuff just makes my skin crawl.
This x1000. It describes everything perfectly. I have been in this for 8 years and it's a nightmare. The cliques (I call them cartels) are infuriating.
My kid tries out and makes top elite teams out of the area for the spring and summer (paid coaches), but the local parent coaches won't even return a call or email.
I have yet to see a fist fight among parents.

If anything, he’s annoyed with the media and other gossip queens making up stories about him potentially being unhappy. He’s unhappy about having to constantly reassure the insecure Nancies out there that everything is okay.
He can put it to rest pretty easily and decisively.

Game was apparently over - other friend that left said they were watching Jeopardy.
I have done a lot of partying in my day.
Never watched Jeopardy at 11PM though. Ha.

I agree that Beane needs to invest whatever he can to fix the WR room.
As far as two high draft picks though -
What am I missing here?
https://www.nfl.com/news/2024-pro-bowl-games-complete-afc-roster-revealed
Wide receiver (4)
Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins*
Amari Cooper, Cleveland Browns*
Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers
Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals
He's an alternate maybe?
I thought I saw that he was going, and he was going to participate in some sort of dodge ball thing or something
edit: Just looked it up and he replaced Amari Cooper.
When people would complain about Diggs the past month or so, I insisted he was hurt. I remember in maybe the Giants or Denver game, him getting thrown down super hard and he was slow to get up. Looked like it wrenched his back or something. Really wasn't the same since then.

I was 'hopeful' that Diggs was just nursing injuries since mid season.
I would feel a lot better if he wasnt participating in the Pro Bowl

The Jets were building a pretty good ship there.
I was really worried they would get Lamar and then look out Bills and Dolphins

The thing that has cost the bills 2 Championships imo is the opportunity cost between von miller and a top receiver
Not sure who they could have gotten. Aj brown? Devante adams? Dhop? But a lot of resources go into that von contract

I am an Indians fan and it lines up with the Buffalo sports experience. A team that has had good runs and maintains general relevancy. However some really bad beats. Ownership also will not do what it takes to get over the top financially.
Overall, it is not a curse. Buffalo had the Chiefs right where they wanted them in the last 2 playoff meetings and willingly let them off the hook. Last season and in 2021, the Bengals and Chiefs were just better at the time.
The Sabres are just the worst run franchise in the 4 major sports and have been for more than a decade. The only curse is bad ownership/management.

When I was a little kid in the 80s, I loved the show. I dont remember much except for the trippy theme song and some robot turret things.
Whenever I needed to take some medicine or get a shot or something, my mom would tell me to "Pretend you are Dr Who" to make me brave and go through with it.

CMC is my vote. Most consistent player.
If Derrick Henry wasn't given the award for his other-worldly 2,000 yard season in 2020, I don't think they will ever consider a running back.

McDermott would never hire him.
1. He would be intimidated by Bill. Bill is way better at being a HC/DC then Sean is.
2. He couldn't control him. If he tried Bill would probably tell him to F off. Why would Bill who has accomplished everything there is as HC/DC listen to someone who hasn't won squat.
3. Players would probably tune Sean out and just listen to Bill. Who would you listen to. A winner who knows what it takes to win a championship or someone who doesn't.
All of this is meaningless anyway. Bill isn't coming here. I don't know if Sean will remain the DC or hire someone else, but it won't be Bill.
All of this. On paper its a cool idea, but interpersonally it invites a lot of issues and McDermott making that move almost certainly signs his own pink slip

I say it every time this comes up...
Im all for realignment. I am bored to death of New England, the Jets, and Miami covering 1/3 of the schedule every season.
The 8-division, 32 team structure is really good and solid as far as scheduling.
In some sort of dystopian society, the NFL would hold a 'draw' in March, where they pick the 8 Divisions World Cup style.

At least the bills put up much more of a fight.

Lamar Jackson stinks. Shouldn't get mvp.
Baltimore was an undisciplined mess. Some really awful infractions. Knuckleheaded and unnecessary

How come kelce can follow the ravens back toward the d huddle starting crap, then someone shoves him and they get a penalty. Unfair
-
I don't like it.
Would like a better coordinator for offense
Can't wait for the extra tackle and run cook into a brick wall predictably every first down next season
They didn't even try

Lamar almost certainly wins it due to the overwhelming narrative/consensus. I dont really agree with it.
Josh Allen should be the MVP IMO, not even being a homer.
Just to show I am not biased, I think the next best case should go to Tyreek Hill. There is tangible evidence that Miami goes from Super Bowl contenders to a clown show depending on Hill's health/availability.
To me, any Raven or 49er isnt much of a consideration, just because those offenses are systemic machines and various parts could be replaced. I would give it to CMC over Lamar.
Dak? Uh, no.

Its a point I've made on main board many times. Pegulas track record with coaches and GMs is poor.
What do you mean by McDermott exorcizing Russ Brandon demons?
When McDermott was here in the first year, Brandon was still worming around trying to do his meddling, and McDermott swiftly told Pegula to get him far away from him and the football stuff and Pegula complied.
