  1. That's what they told Sabres fans about HC Lindy Ruff's tenure and one Stanley Cup final appearance in 14+ seasons and for a football reference the Bengals fans through 16 years of Marvin Lewis. Continuity. I'm not advocating for firing McDermott but his time as HC is littered with one time in a million last minute gaffes and inexplicable and unexplained decisions and events. If there's somebody out there ownership and the front office believe gives the organization a better shot then don't be afraid to take it.
  2. If you're like me you thought this while watching the game and not after Monday morning quarterbacking the thing to death with the benefit of hindsight. That's why the missed FG didn't bother me as much as it should have because while they lined up for that missed kick I said even if they tie the game they'll lose 30-27.
  3. What's mind blowing is they did a superlative job of executing the possession strategy up to that point in time. So either: Allen went off script, ignored those shorter underneath throws to move the chains, and took those deeper throws. Which means he ignored the instructions of the HC/OC. Or Allen was given no specific instructions, and they never discussed anything specific about remaining focused and committed to the ball control time of possession game and keeping the defense off the field as long as possible. Both are concerning possibilities.
  4. In a nutshell, out of the 2 minute warning the play calls needed to be continuing the possession strategy of the 58 minutes to that point. Score points and not give the ball back to the Chiefs with sufficient time left on the clock which could allow them to win the game in regulation. As with past gaffes there's an unexplained disconnect that we'll be left to speculate about once again. But yeah, ultimately it falls on the guy in charge.
  5. The Bills played a time of possession strategy for 58 minutes and then after the 2-minute rather than continuing to methodically work the ball closer to the goal line and run the clock they mysteriously went with downfield passes. I can lay this on Allen but did the coaches make it clear to him that we're going to play for the "last shot" situation? Win or lose leave little to nothing on the clock? Whether it was a communication issue or a change in direction, I put that on McDermott and Brady. I expect the 2024 season's excuse will be cap problems which hurt the team's ability to build depth and fill all the holes left in the roster through expiring contracts and other loss of players. But that's Beane.
  6. A lot of migrants aren't coming from South America. Should we be obliged to "fix" all those countries too? And what specific things would you suggest we do?
  7. If this was the old neighborhood this kind of crap wouldn't happen. Because the folks there would get together and beat this SOB to death with baseball bats and then tell the city to go screw themselves with their sanctuary status.
  8. Sounds like these airlines have decided that hiring mechanics that know the difference between a torque wrench and a hammer doesn't matter as long as they've got the right cultural mix on the team. If you plan on flying commericial from here on then pack a chute in your carry-on.
  9. Diggs - 2024 season $27,854,00 cap hit, dead cap hit $31,096,000
  10. Just like the flow of migrants didn't matter until they were inconvenienced in their sanctuary cities, the libs won't start caring about terror threats (they only care about the domestic one's the government manufacturers for now) until they start getting blown up. Even then, fools they are, the wokest will somehow manage to victimize the perps. Until then, deaf ears.
  11. More fuel for your fire. If there is an attack I say it with 100% certainty you'll blame Trump for it. Am I right? It couldn't have anything to do with years after year of millions of unvetted border crossers under President Blunder. You're the one making anecdotal associations between Trump and Putin without any specific facts or rational motive and my story is just not convincing?
  12. The "soft landing" scenario predominates investor sentiment at the moment.
  13. Watch the FXI ETF for how this action is playing out.
  14. Chamberlain met with Hitler. Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin met at Yalta after WW2 (curiously in Crimea which was part of Russia). Are there transcripts from those?
  15. Mentioning the Sabres, a guy called into the WGR morning show and said he feels about the Bills and Josh Allen like he did when the Sabres had all-world goalie Dominick Hasek and never made the moves to out a more competitive team in front of him. As for the Sabres, once again I look forward to their annual late season push for 9th place in the conference and the best record of any team missing the playoffs. As for last night it bothered me but not as much as I expected because I knew when they settled on the Bass FG attempt even if he made it they left around 1:45 on the clock which would have been enough for the Chiefs to drive down into FG range and win it 30-27 at the buzzer. At the 2 minute warning it should have been TD or bust. Why play ball control because you don't trust your defense for 58 minutes and then throw them out after tying it up and expecting a big stop?
  16. The guy should have used a 200 foot wick instead and match instead. Or maybe borrowed one of the Coyote's ingenious plans to get the Road Runner. The wild thing is some still believe this was a genuine terror event. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
  17. I'd more than welcome both likely nominees to be subject to an independent competency and mental aptitude examination but such a thing is unlikely. Meanwhile, there are lots of people with mental health issues, delusions, psychotic episodes, memory loss and impairment, and other conditions but since only one of them is currently President I consider that risk to be greatest.
  18. Perhaps the most comical aspect of this "bomb" is the video of the perp planting the bomb is taken about 17 hours before the bomb is found. But the bomb had a 1 hour timer. So what was the plan? Plant the bomb and come back to the scene every 59 minutes and reset the timer to 60 minutes until the intended target showed up? Whether it was real or another government sponsored set up it was poorly conceived and executed.
  19. I expected after the 2 minute warning they were going to play for a game winning TD while burning down the clock as close to zero as possible. Sure you can't expect to script things out perfectly in a game like this but that was the winning move. With all the injuries and big chunk plays the defense was giving up I didn't want to see them on the field again last night. But as is typical, things went off the rails on 2nd and 3rd down passes and Bass missed the FG on 4th down. Given all the last minute heartbreaks is there anyone here that didn't think Bass was going to miss? I sure did. But for me it didn't make any difference. Giving the Chiefs the ball with about 1:45 left and a couple time outs was more than enough to get them into FG range and their kicker is usually money. If the Bills didn't lose 27-24 they would have lost 30-27.
  20. Considering the mental condition of our current President you should be careful when throwing around words like "senile". The guy is consistently mentally confused and can't even answer a question that isn't scripted, screened, and answered by some staff person, with the answer provided to Joe on a queue card. So you guys elected a trained Monkey. Good work. You're all not as smart as you think you are as they fooled you all by getting you to vote for a fake President which you'll gladly do again. Not the brightest bulbs in the lamp. Trump may be a narcissistic buffoon but Joe's a walking, talking vegetable.
  21. Nobody infected with TDS can ever admit Trump was right about anything, ever.
  22. Have had enough. That's what all this liberal nonsense is all about. Most people are still sitting around fat dumb, and, happy because they haven't been directly impacted or pissed off. But sooner or later almost everyone will have had enough and then it's open season on those mofo's.
  23. You should speak to your therapist about these political conspiracy delusions.
  24. Most of those rich Republicans are in lockstep with most of those rich democrats protecting their interests by supporting the same polices. They don't like Trump or RFK Jr. or even a Bernie Sanders, or any other populist leaning candidates that might threaten their gravy train.
  25. So now most faculty members don't want to attend staff meetings either. My workplace has a couple major HR initiatives. DEI and Common Culture. I'd argue they're conflicting objectives. Do you want differences or commonality? It's something nobody running the show cares to explain. Gone are the simplier days when you were just expected to do the best job you can and go home.
