Plus, dumb luck. Foster catching the ball for instance ?

I mean, if he guarantees it! If the bills lose I think he should donate $5k to charity.

Not much of a guarantee without putting something at risk

Lets not get ahead of ourselves. The dude played an ok game, not great

Well, if you guarantee it.... whats the consequence to you if they don’t?

Its pretty much exactly what we are in the process of doing soooooo

Is some of that the fault of McD though?

Yea, there’s a baseline level of knowledge required but at a large level it can be an administrative job managing coordinators etc...

Oh, because something unlikely happened last year it means there’s probably a good chance of repeating this year

To get to your math, you have to think each game has over 80% odds of happening how you predicted

Amd somehow even this dude figured out peterman before coach could

No it’s much worse. It would be like a team signing Rob Johnson after he played here and anointing him starter for not completely embarrassing himself 1 time

The part that I think should logically stand out but may be lost on you because you are really dug into your argument... in the bills bama matchup- which team is the overwhelming favorite and which are the scrubs just trying to hang? I think its its easy to think that on any given day a bama team could probably hang for quite awhile with a little luck. A 30 point spread is pretty huge still. I don’t think anyone here is arguing that Bama is a better team but that they might be able to win a few matchups and with some good bounces or blown coverages keep it within 4 touchdowns

Again, Oliver, if nursing a knee injury- should know better. I’m not losing my mind over it or anything but it’s another red flag that you have to research regarding maturity and common sense.

I certainly agree that you have a relevant concern. Typically for a rule to be productive it needs to have a purpose. I’d suspect that if totally honest there’s some of that which would never be spoken aloud, but also likely some stuff they could lean on to justify it without admitting to being meatheads that have personal interests that you outline. that said Oliver had an absolute meltdown over very little. At some level a 20 year old shouldn’t need to be physically restrained in this situation.

I don’t see the problem in saying both handled it poorly.

Who is it that has this religious bias against him? The closest I’ve seen is the occasional wonder out loud if our coach might’ve let personally liking him effect his professional evaluation. Otherwise I’d say he gets about 12 posts/article saying he’s the best human ever for each item assailing his character. he does get some jokes for being historically awful on the stat line. Not unusual though. He was our “butt fumble” guy

Id venture the thought is they don’t feel the need to get oversized jackets for players not in pads and those guys likely have plenty of other options applewhite probably shouldn’t have rolled up and pulled it off him without saying anything but given how it went down I’m guessing both sides were a bit frustrated with other things bubbling under the surface

Id say it’s 2 parts being a historically bad qb, 1 part coaching insistence to play him and probably 2 parts his fans being really over the top pushy about how great he is despite all evidence to the contrary.

Im pretty sure that dude tore his ACL and recovered over a bye week and came back to rush for 1000 yards in the back half of the season with a fan from section 103 row 7 seat 12 at qb hes a freak show even among the games all time elite. 3 prime years is a bold claim

Why do you so happily settle for situations like rookie-zay-Thompson as our top 3 WRs? im fine with Thompson as depth and maybe he surprises but why in the world would you make yourself count on that happening?

Did you feel similar emotions about kerley getting cut? Or what is it about NP2 that gets this kind of fawning?

How long were we supposed to not play him? Would year 3 have been ok?

Once you are in that .500 tier of quality.... it’s basically dumb luck on 7 vs 9 wins or 6th seed vs 10th. A couple bounces or luck with health or a bengals td throw against the ravens

Therein is the rub— we all carry stuff but we have no idea what his stuff is. dude was 230 pounds of chemical reactions effected by infinite factors. Nothing going on excuses assualting someone else but you look at this guys story and wonder what was really going on in there.
