Sisyphean Bills

Congrats to Hogan. Same old, same old. Bills fans like getting mule-kicked in the crotch.

It was the Super Bowl. Shaky teams get in the playoffs every year. Teams are supposed to be vetted by the time of the Super Bowl. They're supposed to have played and beaten the best in their conference. The Falcons just choked in every phase of the game, and their coaching vanished like so much smoke and mirrors.

Julio Jones is just flat out crazy good. And, sure, Belichick is going to double him and try to take him out of the game. But how in the world do you not put him in motion or in bunch formations and GET HIM THE FUGGIN BALL regardless? I mean, he's open when he is perfectly covered. Design something to give him the slightest bit of daylight and he's like nuclear on the defense. Shanahan totally outsmarted himself. Good luck '9ers.

The 49ers offense will be running that play next year.

The Falcons are the Bills of the NFC. A good season here and there with huge stretches of total futility. Got the stone pretty far up the hill, but fell asleep again. Chokers.

Atlanta has a stacked roster. But after that choke job, the good money says the wheels fly off.

I thought throwing to the midget on 3rd down when you got Sanu and Jones was pretty ridiculous. They set themselves up to win the game with a FG there.

Alternate fact.

Have you seen the running game?

Maybe just open them. <shrug>

It looked like he was trying to hyperextend both his knees at the same time.

Profound, mahn.

Tom Brady is no Jim Kelly on an INT ... what the heck was that tackle attempt anyway?

Don Beebe wasn't a Patriot.

Oops

DeBerg was drafted by the Cowboys in the 12th round of the '77 draft but was the 2nd QB they took in that draft. They also took Glenn Carano in the 2nd round. Carano made the team as the 3rd string QB, and DeBerg went on to San Francisco. Jim Zorn had already signed as a free agent with the Seahawks in '76.

Rob Johnson.

No one complained when the last staff came in to improve a top ranked defense.

I'm giving you a gold star for noticing my punctuation humor.

This is the most talented roster ever assembled. PERIOD!

Well, in that scenario Joe's co-worker, Average Bob, tweets that Joe sucks at his job and will be canned. The notion a co-worker thinks someone sucks at his job is pedestrian. Tweeting it far and wide would be juvenile, extreme, and very likely just stupid, but not impossible and the anonymity thing might embolden. Still, if Average Bob really values his job and wants to have a professional reputation, trashing Joe publicly would be just as likely to backfire in Bob's face as to get Joe sunk. So, yeah, it's pretty loopy as well.

I wonder how that works in Average Joe's job. Average Joe anonymously tweets that he sucks at his job and he will be fired after the current project. Rumors swirl for weeks around the water cooler. And the plan is to get Joe's boss to have a one-on-one and fire Joe a week before the end of the current project? The theory just doesn't make much sense to me.

It could work this time. Distract everyone with reinventing the defense so they don't notice the QB position.

Yeah. That's a bad spot to be in, frankly. Not being able to trust any information could mean one can't trust any new information that changes one's initial reaction to anything. In the extreme, it puts the entire process of learning in a deep freeze letting us rely on "gut reactions", which can be totally wrong because there is no basis of truth.

Jags to continue on the slip-n-slide.
