Mike White coming in late and going 3 for 11 sealed the win for NE.

Most suspect its not God helping the Chiefs but instead its Satan.

Convicted for a bookkeeping error elevated through smoke and mirrors legal maneuvering to a felony. History will remember and mark this event as the peak of the 21st century Democratic party's political corruption.

The line has the Bills as a 9 point favorite which seems a little high to me. I expect I'll spend the week leading up to the game listening to all the experts hyping up the Broncos which will generate the usual level of anxiety and concern that comes with being a Bills fan. While I don't expect a rout I do expect the Bills to win simply because they're the better team with wins over both #1 seeds and the quality of opponents the Broncos defeated is not so great. Minus the win over the Chiefs JV squad yesterday.

True. But when I watch the Bengals offense I'm more amazed by the athletic and playmaking abilities of Chase and Higgins than I am about Borrow's efficient and effective QB play. If the Bills and Allen had both those guys their offense would be unstoppable. As it is Josh does more with less support than Borrow and Jackson with more wins than either. For that, Allen is MVP.

As long as the Bills have a defensive minded head coach in Sean McDermott they will always face the prospect of losing their OC to other HC opportunities. The result is constant changes in the offensive play calling and scheme. That's not the best way to handle the remainder of Josh Allens's career with the Bills. In the blink of an eye it will be over and it will be a crime if the Bills and Allen fail to win it all at least 1 time. The best option right now is to move McDermott upstairs to the front office w/Beane, promote Brady to Bills HC, keep his system, hire an OC to function like Reid has in KC, and bring on a strong and experienced DC to handle that side of the ball. This might be the best long term option.

The problem with going after ISIS in Syria is they're sponsored and supported by NATO member Turkey and its fundamentalist President Erdogan. So to effectively fight ISIS requires either cooperation from the Turkish government or attacking terrorist forces inside of Turkey. As ISIS is under the protection of the Turkish President and government that's been clearly off the table. The fighting ISIS in Syria narrative was a ruse created by Washington to occupy the oil fields in the northeast of the country to deprive the Assad regime of revenue and energy. A decision to be made at this point is what happens with US forces inside the country? Some 800 to 2,000 US troops. Now that Assad is gone what's their mission now? To fight ISIS? Well, right now ISIS is in control of Syria and its government. Are they a better option than Assad? We're going to find out but I expect the desire to remove Assad is one of those be careful what you wish for learning opportunities.

Of all the teams the Chiefs have faced in the playoffs Borrow and the Bengals have beat them. Reid might think if I can eliminate them by allowing Denver to win then why not? Why take a chance? It costs the Cheifs nothing and eliminates a team playing with confidence and momentum.

Take away Chase and Higgins and swap WR1 and WR2 with the Bills and forecast Borrow's 2024 performance. Joe is just doing more with more and better WRs. Without them, no MVP talk.

I think another aspect of the anti-Allen bias in the football media is because very few of the "experts" in the football media world thought he'd amount to much beyond an average QB with accuracy and decision-making issues coming out of a second-tier program at Wyoming. And now that his on-field performances have proven them wrong, they don't have the personal courage or willingness to say their initial assessments were wrong by voting him the league MVP.

I also think this passive strategy is both ineffective and antiquated when it comes to the playoffs. But ultimately the problem is spending and roster building decisions whether the draft or free agency on the defensive side have been poor for several off seasons. Nothing McDermott does is going to fix that in week 17.

It looked like the officiating crew took NE and the 14 points on Sunday.

100% agree with this. Elam has the physical traits needed for a CB but is unable to process the mental aspects of the game or improve through learning and coaching to perform at a level high enough to be a good corner. Lots of NFL DBs are "handsy" when you watch them in coverage but they know the limits the officials will allow and are smart enough to know the refs will forgive some physical contact if you simply turn to look for the ball.

Elam deserved those PIs but in his defense he was the only Bills defender close enough to a receiver to get called.

I find it difficult to support the coup theory at this point. Just for the fact its been established that Trump authorized the deployment of the National Guard to the Capitol and for whatever reasons they had at the time Congressional leadership declined to utilize those reinforcements to the Capitol Police that day. It would have prevented things from getting out of hand. Which begs the question, if you're planning a coup why would you authorize the deployment of troops that would prevent your coup from succeeding? Unless anyone wants to pursue the idea that those troops were going to support a coup attempt and side with the protesters that day.

The problem here is we've got all these federal officials saying these drones pose no threat but at the same time they claim they have no idea what they are. Which is a completely illogical argument. Because by definition an unknown is unknown. So how can anyone know an unknown poses a risk or no risk? The risk is unknowable. So facts are required beyond their smoke and mirrors BS evasive non-explanations.

Add in the field being natural grass with underground heating to keep the surface from freezing and melting any accumulating snow that might fall through the partial roof. And dome or no dome, the enclosed design is going to make the nose level Bills fans generate the loudest in sports, which is going to give any opponent trouble.

Lamar and the Ravens lost to the Raiders. That by itself results in automatic disqualification from consideration for the MVP award.

Here's my personal and amateur observation of these "drones". I've seen these objects in the sky a few times. Always at night. Always moving in the same pattern. They appear in groups of 6 to 10 moving in a consistent path following each other one after another spaced out maybe about a mile or two apart moving from north to south and then turning east towards the coast. If you look at a map of New Jersey for reference, they become visible say a flight path from Morristown moving south to about Princeton and then arc turn east. They fly at a low altitude, maybe 2K feet but its hard to tell without reference to their actual size. They move slowly. Its hard to estimate their speed given its night but I'd say maybe 30 to 50 mph. If that. Each one is clearly visible for about 10 minutes. Red, green, white lights. At a distance they look like a Christmas tree star until they get closer. Way too slow to be a commercial or military aircraft and definitely not helicopters moving or hovering slowly because those things generally make a loud and distinctive sound. These objects are quiet but there is some audio output from them. Whatever they are, they make no effort to conceal themselves. As for an assessment, a marksman with a high-powered rifle and a good scope could probably hit them with a shot or two and take one down but my guess is anyone trying that would be swarmed by the Feds in a couple minutes. I expect the government knows exactly what's going on, has eyes and ears and assets deployed here, but won't say a thing to the public for whatever reason they might have. As one astute poster stated here on another thread, the government's standard operating protocol is to "avoid transparency at all costs".

The next conspiracy theory to address is what role, if any, did any government asset have in turning the protest into a violent confrontation?

It should make for fun reading and boisterous laughter so queue liberal outrage and the customary threats against Time editorial staff on social and mainstream media in 3, 2, 1......

Was it a mistake? Or an intentional act to produce disinformation? To smear somebody with lies to poison public opinion and give political adversaries ammo. One thing is clear to me. Dishonesty and lying and corruption are systemic and critical problems in government. Perhaps at all levels. And the private sector isn't much better. America's got a problem. Generally, making good decisions depends on truth and fact. As a society we have not been making good decisions.

I suggest we're already involved because we have 800 to a couple thousand military service people occupying parts of northeastern Syria coordinating with Kurdish fighters and also being there under pretense of being on the hunt for ISIS. Who are more or less the same guys that just took over the country.

This is it, right? Who here didn't think or say "don't use a timeout because you need them to stop the clock 3 times (to get a 3 and out on D) to leave sufficient time to mount another scoring drive after you score to make it a one score game and kick off and don't run the ball because if you don't get into the end zone the clock won't stop and you can't use a time out because you need all 3 for after the kickoff if you score or else if you use 1 of the 3 time outs the only option it leaves you is an onside kick which has an extremely low probability of success. So what happens? They run the ball and then call time out which leaves the low probability onside kick as the only option. And we all bang our heads against the wall!

Retribution killings in Syria have already started. Surprise, surprise. One group targeted are US backed Kurds. Will Biden abandon them consistent with the bug-out from Afghanistan? Or will the US through airstrikes and ground forces neutralize the terrorists taking control of the country? If Israel is threatened (it seems to be already), will it be a surprise if Mossad takes out the benefactor of ISIS and these other terrorist groups, President Erdogan of Turkey? And then, will US led NATO invoke Article 5 against Israel? Lots of questions. Answers to follow with action on the ground.
