I'd agree if they were unranked or had a crappy RPI. This UB team already has several quality wins and if they only lose one in conference play they'll still be ranked. I have no doubt they'll be a 5 or 6 seed in the NCAA tourney.

He really hasn't had a lot of success since Friends went off the air so it's nice to see him involved in a new career.

That was certainly a "statement" win by UB last night. I'm not being glib -- will they lose again before the NCAA tourney? I don't see anyone in the MAC truly challenging them.

I'm not lying. I'm critical of moves the Bills make I don't agree with. I was beating the drum for Castillo's and Crossman's dismissal. I would not be "excited" about Kingsbury as a HC. There's too much on his plate. Now as an OC or QB coach? You may be on to something.

Titled And Then They Die.

See -- Kliff Kingsbury, Arizona.

If I'm a Cardinals fan -- I think there are a few hundred or so out there -- I don't know that I'm very excited about this hire. Anyone perceived as a "bright young offensive mind" is the flavor of the day, yet this guy has achieved almost no success as a head coach in college. Oh well, he's young and buff so he can attract the female fan base I guess.

I don't think so -- wait, what is this thread about?

Yes -- they scored 5 in the 2nd and it could easily have been 7. Looking forward to watching them live Friday night among what I'm certain will be a raucous, baby-eating crowd in Raleigh. Would be great to see Eichel back but the way they played last night was refreshing.

Or finish! Good win for the Heels, although they were much too sloppy in the first half or they could have been up 20 at the break. I hope people realize State was actually favored in this game! That's 29-4 for Roy vs. the Pack since he returned to Carolina.

I think that’s their slogan.

Indeed. That arena will be rocking.

Nah. Chose anything over Belichick.

Game was in Chicago. Typical early season stuff for Roy's teams. They have to learn to play defense by February.

Not "hot" in the traditional sense but also has that "I'm a little bit crazy" look that tells me she'd probably be a fun hookup at last call...

If you compare their career trajectories, Josh Allen started so far behind Trevor Lawrence it's not even funny. Lawrence has been bred to be the next can't miss NFL QB prospect, while Allen has had to fight for everything and is still learning. Last season was probably the best year of coaching he ever received and it's not close.

News flash -- fans defend players on their own team and criticize players on other teams. At least usually. That said, Jackson's game was trash. I still don't think Jackson is a very smart guy and as soon as defenses appropriately scheme for his one-trick show (which already began to happen Sunday) he'll be in trouble unless he suddenly becomes someone he hasn't been before. He's lucky to play on a team with a defense so good they'll make up for his weaknesses most of the time.

A couple of "would ya?" threads per week will add up in no time.

Dude, I think I say this at least once a year. Why do we get 40 times of guys in shorts that bears precisely NO relation to football speed? At least put them in a helmet and have them carry a football (if they are an offensive skill position player).

I may buy this to throw at the television when he gives up a long pass.

There is some sort of odd narrative out there that (a) Flacco was terrible or something, and (b) Jackson played amazing in the Ravens' 6-1 run to close the regular season. The Ravens won at Pittsburgh, at Tennessee, and were a missed PAT from taking the Saints to OT in New Orleans behind Flacco. For the season Flacco's and Jackson's passer ratings were almost identical but Flacco took the same number of sacks as Jackson in over 200 more dropbacks, and there is no question Flacco is a better passer. The Ravens also changed their run game once Jackson took over. There is a strong probability the Ravens post the same record if Flacco doesn't get hurt and replaced, simply because of their defense. I can sort of understand Harbaugh sticking with what was perceived as the "hot hand" to start the playoff game, but I remain steadfast in my opinion that it was a brutally bad decision for the team not to replace Jackson in the 3rd quarter. Quoting Jackson's stats in the last five minutes of the 4th quarter when the Chargers completely changed their approach tells me nothing. An interesting suggestion I've heard from a couple of Ravens fans is that perhaps both Harbaugh and Flacco said "F 'em" to the Ravens. Harbaugh isn't necessarily planning on staying (he will listen to other offers) and Flacco wasn't exactly lobbying to play and risk injury since he knew he wasn't in their future plans. I believe the Flacco part (he was likely pissed at the organization) more than the Harbaugh part. I think Harbaugh is just stubborn.

Now that was something! The way the game started, even with the pick-6, it appeared that Tua and the Bama offense were going to have their way all night. What a turnaround! Gotta love that Lawrence kid. Looks like he has a very bright future.

Cool. Some of these guys just need to be humbled, apparently. Fingers crossed!

Panthers. Meh.

If it was either of the two bolded statements, Harbaugh should be fired today. And for the record, I don't think it was. I think Harbaugh is just a stubborn SOB who was bound and determined to be "right" about keeping Jackson as the starter.
