One of the travel issues may be traced back to BIA. The runway is not rated for larger commercial aircraft from both length and aircraft weight requirements. This limits the team to smaller, less comfortable jets for travel. From experience traveling more than 100,000 miles per year, I’d much rather sit in a 757/767 than a 737 (even if the doors stay on) and I’m only 5’9”.
Great stuff. I did not know BIA had a runway renovation project back in ‘04. I moved away in ‘83. That allows larger aircraft to now land there. So, you’re right, Terry is cheap! 🤪

The airplane and food ratings are pretty concerning.
It's probably not a good thing for the team to deal with an extremely uncomfortable flight out for away games. This isn't Spirit Airlines. Every single % point for performance matters here. Do better.

I guess the dietitian recommending, and the cafeteria only serving, Beef on Weck and Buffalo Wings everyday doesn’t sit well with the players. 🤔

As others have said, this is really a non-issue. First, there is no benefit to "stop the clock" when the penalty would just give the offense a free down. For example, going Offside intentionally would stop the clock, but it would give the offense the down over, plus 4 yards. If it gave the offense a first down, it's 4 additional downs to run the clock. Most in-play penalties (holding, interference, etc.) also create an automatic first down (again more free plays, more time used). If Ramsey held on the Bills 3rd and 13 to stop the clock, he's a moron.
The situation here is rare when the offense got the first down "legitimately" and the fouls just added additional yards and stopped the clock. The only place this might be a good strategy is if the offense was 3rd and 1 and was the Eagles. You know they're almost automatically going to "tush push" the first down and giving them an additional 4 yards by being Offside helps by stopping the clock. Pretty rare situation.
I do agree that post-play penalties is something to look at. Then the defense already knows the outcome was a 1st down and could draw an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty (i.e. call the ref an #######). I'm actually not sure if those currently stop the clock but competitive teams would have low value players pull that stuff in every game if that did stop it.
There are probably a lot of rules the could have game situational "tweaks" to marginally increase "fairness" like this one. However, making the rules more complicated and more situational doesn't bode well for having better management of games by the refs. More complexity and nuance leads to more mistakes in any situation. The "juice isn't worth the squeeze" to change the rule for this type of somewhat rare situation.Now, fumbling the ball through the endzone....
My 2 cents.

Pretty sober analysis of the hit here. Can’t say I disagree with the narrator’s conclusions.

Didn't notice this in the thread. For those willing to wait a few hours, the Bills/Chargers game is being rebroadcast almost immediately after it ends on the NFL Network at 12am EST. I may just tune out the game information, record the game on NFLN and watch it in the morning.

I almost always find Burr hilarious. The accent, to me, just makes him more genuine vs. most other comedians so it’s a plus. If you haven’t listened to his helicopter schtick, look it up. He’s also a bit anti-PC so I feel guilty liking him! 🤔

Took over as interim HC this year after the team fired the incumbent after leading the team to a poor record. Leonhard turned the team around to make a Bowl game. Players lobbied for him to get the gig permanently but the school went another direction. They wanted him to return in his previous roll as DC and he told them to pound sand. The starting QB wanted him as well. We Leonhard didn't get the HC job, the QB entered the transfer portal.
Sound like Leonhard is potentially a sought after commodity for a HC job in Division I football.
Good for him. Smart player and looks like a good coach.

He is 2nd year LB Darrell Taylor (#52) out of Tennessee. He’s a backup OLB that, from the stats, rarely sees the field. Like most of you, given his experience and typical playing time, he probably saw his teammate hit the turf and assumed he was down like most of his pre-professional career. Excitement and experience won out over coaching.

He looked good at the end of the game
good for him maybe timing was just wrong here doesn’t mean he was anti buffalo
I agree. I don't think he was anti-Buffalo. I just think that he wasn't good enough to contribute when he was here. He seemed to play better with the Raiders (what little I saw of him there) and he's projecting out to an 80 catch, 700 yard season for the Jags. Nice to see him staying in the league and finding a fit.

Zay Jones had a career day for Jacksonville as the Jags beat the Ravens in the last seconds.
Jones stat line: 11 catches, 145 yards, and...the winning 2 point conversion catch!
He also made a spectacular 29 yard catch on the final drive to keep the Jags hopes alive.
The Ravens had a chance but Justin Tucker left a 67-yard field goal attempt about a yard short. What a wimp. They should waive him now! 😁
Coincidentally, Jones also caught the game winning overtime catch last year to beat the Ravens while with the Raiders. Zay Jones...Raven Killer.

From the fumbled snap to the failure to play a 4th and long like it's a Hail Mary situation, I certainly think coaching is to blame.
The Bills knew they were going to run a QB sneak the second that they made the goal line stand. Allen and Morse should have been practicing snaps on the sideline for a minute or two when that situation arose to ensure the most like failure point on that play was taken care of. Make a good snap there and the game is over or, at worst case, we give up a safety and set them back into their territory with no TOs and very little time.
On the 4th and long for the Vikings, the coaches should have been drilling it into the secondary to play that like a Hail Mary and just try to "knock it down". The should have called a timeout before that play to ensure that everyone was on the right page because that was the ballgame if we just communicate that correctly to the players.
Going back to the KC playoff game, the same knuckleheaded coaching showed up with 31 seconds left. Trying to keep them away from the sidelines while they had 3 timeouts. Timeouts were meaningless, yardage was the key point of failure. Again, they blew it.
I hate to say it but Bill Bill Belichick doesn't have teams making those mistakes.

Why is it intuitive that, had consumers of Commanders products known that there was yet another investigation into Snyder, they would not have bought tickets or merchandise? The Commanders would have not "maintained their fan base"?
That's a ridiculous basis for consumer fraud. Who in that region doesn't understand what and who Snyder is? They are there to see a game and support their team. How does the AG prove that the fan base would have reacted differently had they known that Snyder (who had already settled a harassment suit which was widely known) was again being investigated.
It should be obvious to the AG that most fans would have welcomed this news--hoping it would be the end of Snyder...and better news for their beloved team.
I don't know that it is "intuitive", which was my point. The AG has to prove that was the case otherwise Snyder and the NFL will not be liable.
Fraud can certainly be committed by people who have poor reputations (a.k.a. Snyder) on their customer base. The public was aware of the investigation. The secrecy that the team and the NFL engaged in to keep any investigation results from being made public points to the fact that at least the team and league felt public disclosure would have deleterious affects on revenue. I agree it is difficult to prove that type of case against any company. Had the NFL and the team publicly disclosed the results of the investigation (while keeping the names of the victims secret), there would be no case. Fraud requires that the perpetrator misrepresent or hide information from its victims (i.e. the paying fanbase) in order to get their money.
Again, I think this case may be hard to prove but I have no way of knowing what information/testimony the AG already has in his pocket. Does he have members of team management on record telling him that the team and the NFL colluded to keep information from the public to protect team/league revenue? Does he have information that the NFL lied when they claimed that they wouldn't release the findings of the investigation to "protect the victims"?
It will certainly be interesting to see what comes out publicly from the trial.

Every owners actions impact the many of the people in that area, so what. If Snyder broke that law and they can prove it, arrest and him and charge him. Just being a "dick" or a terrible owner is not against the law.
I don't think the charging documents mention Snyder being "a dick" but I'll check. 🙄
Full disclosure, I live in the DC Metro area in Northern Virginia but work in D.C. The team’s facilities are a football throw from my house….if I were Josh Allen. Lastly, my neighbor’s daughter interned with the team and did not have nice words about her experience.
Two things can be true:
- The Washington Red…grrr…Commanders defrauded the citizens of D.C. who paid for tickets when they might not otherwise had known the full scope of team management, the NFL, et al. hiding information regarding misconduct by the team that included potentially criminal behavior (most of which took place at the team’s facility in Ashburn, VA.).
- The retiring AG of D.C. is looking to score political points knowing the team’s management is wildly unpopular in the region.
To what end a retiring AG needs political points is yet to be determined. Perhaps he plans to run for higher office in the region at some point. Nonetheless, he probably put a lot of hours into this investigation and wants that work to come to fruition before he leaves office. None of that matters in this case if the team has done what the AG is charging them with. BTW, every AG in every jurisdiction has political instincts that drive their behaviors at times. They are elected, not appointed...and I'm shocked...shocked that there is gambling going on here!!!
Did the team mislead the public about the activities that their management engaged in during the last several years? Did the NFL work to keep any investigation from seeing the light of day in order to “protect the shield”. Absolutely, IMO. Why hide the results of an investigation unless it had financial implications for the team and the league? It’s all about the Benjamins.
Did that effectively “defraud” the public? That’s the only real question that matters here. If the AG can prove that hiding the facts in this case had the effect of increasing ticket sales (or in this case keep sales from falling faster), maintaining merchandise revenue or benefiting the team and the NFL in other financial ways – they are likely to be found guilty. This is a civil case so Daniel won't be spending and time on his knees in the DC Central Detention Facility…as ironically fitting as that might be.
Not knowing all of the evidence the AG has in this case, it’s really hard for me to claim that the AG is acting inappropriately and that the team is unfairly being persecuted. Based on everything I’ve seen on this…which living here means “a lot”...the AG probably has a pretty good case.
Let go of the dove, Roy… 🙂

Looking at the starters and the horrible QB play we’re seeing, I count upwards of 11 teams where I think Fitz would outplay the current starters. Come on Fitz, hang up the mic and add another jersey to your closet! 😁
What’s your number?

I like the implication that he's making some kind of sacrifice by dating a Canisius grad - not to criticize, but leaving the photo off might have helped bring the point home more effectively!
Just the opposite. I think it’s great he’s dating someone from a local school. My brother graduated from there and my father was a professor there. I have only high regard for Canisius College. 👍

Nathan Peterman - Signs with Saints
in The Stadium Wall

Not many 5th round QBs survive this long in the NFL. Looking at the teams he played for, he has really just been a backup on a rebuilding team throughout his career. There hasn't been high expectations that he'll need to come off the bench and save a team trying to make the playoffs. So, given the teams he's played for and the situations, he's a good candidate for NO this year. I don't think there are high expectations there for 2024 and if he is another "coach in the room" or on the practice field, this is an excellent decision. Low cap hit for a vet that can help "coach'em up". Good FA "pick" for New Orleans.
As a previous poster noted, he may be setting himself up for a post-career coaching gig. Win-Win for him and New Orleans.
My 2 cents.
