  1. Not to mention that's how Gilmore gets put on IR seemingly every year.
  2. This same thread was probably created ten years ago. Let's face it - he's obviously taking steroids to maintain his physical abilities (lots of roid rage outbursts in practice and games). He'll be playing at a high level for at least the next ten years.
  3. Fans always overrate the talent of their teams. The fact of the matter is that NFL teams are pretty much equal across the board year after year from a talent standpoint. The only differences (in order): 1. Quarterback 2. Injuries/luck 3. A handful of difference-makers at the other positions (your Von Miller's, JJ Watt's, etc.) 4. Coaching So being "#2 behind Seattle with the talent on this roster" - even if that's true (doubtful) - doesn't mean a damn thing unless you excel in one (or more) of the four factors above.
  4. It's been proven that "discipline" (myth perpetuated by the media) and penalties are not correlated. Jets were among the least penalized teams in the NFL during Rex's tenure. A head coach is in charge of everything. Not just his "specialty." This. Especially the "with no significant injuries to key positions" part.
  5. What did he not learn? The knock on him with the Jets was poor quarterbacks and bad offense. So he gets hired here and goes out and lands Tyrod Taylor and grabs Greg Roman. Boom - best offense in Buffalo in over a decade.
  6. The offense finished Top 10 in efficiency for the first time in well over a decade. But I guess the head coach gets no credit for that from you, right?
  7. Second-best season in ten years in Year #1 of this coaching staff. And we're already talking about make-or-break going into Year #2? That doesn't make much sense to me.
  8. NFL training camp is my favorite time of the football season. As a Bills fan it's so much more enjoyable than the gut punch that is the regular season.
  9. Great, good, or mediocre. Half the league gets "selected" because so many back out. No offense, but is this a difficult concept?
  10. When half the league starts to stop declining the invitations then you'll know that a Pro Bowl selection is meaningful.
  11. This would be a terrible move. And yet such a Bills move.
  12. Should he say it was hard to leave the Buffalo Bills? He didn't exactly light the world on fire or have a huge following. Probably didn't even have many friends on the team. And now he can catch deflated footballs so he should have less drops.
  13. He's right and who cares how he or anyone else spends his free time as long as he's not harming anyone? You're stuck in the 1930's.
  14. lol no. He's significantly better than the other bums the Jets have. But he's not Aaron Rodgers.
  15. Fitz is the difference between a 8-8 Jets season and a 3-13 Jets season. That's a fact. Fitz is doing everything right...as expected. He doesn't need training camp. He's a 33-year old vet who knows the system nearly better than the offensive coordinator himself knows it. Wait until mid-August, sign a deal and begin the season. Or if the Jets are really trying to screw him on a contract then he can wait until October to sign when the fans are raving and the Jets are 0-6 with terrible QB play.
  16. Sure - let's bring him back! All he has to do is travel across his very own bridge that he used to leave Buffalo. This will lead him to Doug Whaley's offic--oh, Dear God no! Freddy, no!
  17. It's an 8-hour documentary about race relations in the United States surrounding events that specifically took place in Los Angeles, CA. Therefore, the filmmakers are going to spend a significant amount of time on racial events in Los Angeles. You still don't get it.
  18. Muhammad Ali proves otherwise.
  19. Because this documentary is not a biography of OJ Simpson. It's about why and how the event that took place on 6/13/94 became such a national phenomenon. It's amazing how some people don't get it.
  20. Stop taking everything so serious.
  21. Hahahaha. Oh man. God bless 'Murica.
  22. Funny - my wife and I asked the exact same question while watching the first episode. I think it's both. In hindsight we can see that OJ displayed many signs of sociopathy considering his lack of willingness to do anything that didn't directly benefit himself. His resistance to helping out in the civil rights movement and the reasons for it (hurting his brand, "I'm not black, I'm OJ") spoke volumes imo. As did the statements from people who worked with him regularly throughout his career stating in interviews that they couldn't figure out if there was more behind OJ than the calculated, polished cardboard cutout who was able to perfect his public persona through the 70's and 80's. Combined with that you have the fits of rage that are common among CTE sufferers. And back in the late 60's through 70's there was no concussion protocol in football whatsoever. Football was a rougher sport, lack of medical advancements, little to no knowledge of concussions, countless carries during his 11 year NFL career, etc. There is absolutely no question that OJ Simpson's brain contains an abundance of CTE.
