Miyagi-Do Karate

I am sure the Bills are kicking themselves for letting Hodgins walk and instead keeping Kumerow, esp since he ended up with this injury and not playing.

I love this thread because it allows Me to tell my one Urlacher story. I was on a flight from Philly to Chicago, and slept the whole time. Woke up and realized that the guy sitting next to me/across the aisle was Urlacher. I only figured it out when the young female flight attendant started hitting on him and gave him her phone number. It was a really awkward and embarrassing interaction for him too.

Is this just based on his own pure speculation?

I came in here to post this meme, but you have admirably taken care of it for me.

I was clamoring since the day he was drafted to move Benford to safety. I actually thought they drafted him for that reason. On the coaches for not trying him there earlier. He could have been used a lot late down the stretch.

They played like people that have dealt with snow for the last few months and know how to walk gingerly on the sidewalk so as not to slip.

No defensive “guru” is coming here. You don’t see those hires when your HC is a defensive coach.

Even Gottlieb was outraged!!

Unfortunately, this is becoming more of the norm in basketball. The flagrant foul stuff is similar to how in the NFL they now micro-analyze every ball movement during a “catch” to then overrule our common sense as to what a catch is. NBA is worse, because you have all these challenges and really wonky interpretations of charges/blocks. By the way, how about taking a heart-breaking loss by the Bills to then follow it up with that Syracuse loss. Can’t we find a little sports happiness?! 🥲

free throws were 23-3 in favor of UNC. Oh, and there was this foul called on Mintz too:

Just dumbfounded. Two terrible charge calls in this game on Mintz. You can’t be running back on D, moving your legs, and be getting a charge call. It defies common sense. And then to call a flagrant there to end the game?! The whole idea of the flagrant is unnecessary plays— guys get hit the face and head all the time on normal drives. Just a shame because they should have won.

The jets have legit been killing it lately with their draft picks. If I were them, I would hold onto them and keep building their team the right way. Maybe add a solid vet in the off-season.

it was my first thought.

They haven’t built the new stadium yet, and the plans priced out the extra cost for a roof on it.

Weather was a huge issue. The Bengals called a perfect game for it. Those quick timed swing passes to Chase and their RBs worked every time. And on D, they played aggressive, because sitting on your heels in zone in the snow wasn’t going to work on a consistent basis. Look at the time we threw short to McKenzie. It was for 1 yard; he juked a LB and turned it into 9. Or the screen out wide to Singletary— easy 10 yards. The offense needed to adjust. Could have murderer them today with quick hitting stuff in stride. Then, on D, let Burrow beat you deep. Drop down and stop the short stuff and tackle well instead.

Dang, you said it out loud!

It was after the incomplete fourth down to Gabe in the end zone. Looked like Diggs may have been open. On the sideline, Allen and a coach are sitting there, and Diggs stands in front of him yelling and gesturing in way to make it seem like he was saying he was wide open. Allen wasn’t looking up. Interaction lasted maybe 10 seconds.

it was not a good look for Diggs. Elite Wide receivers are annoying prima donnas when the team is losing.

I bet he said, “please beat the crap out of KC. Please, I beg you.”

First real “loss” this year. First time I felt they were beat down and outplayed. From start to finish. Bengals had better game plan for the weather. Run hard and short swing passes.

I knew this would be a shoot out. The offense couldn’t keep up.

The snow here today dictated a different game plan. The bengals adopted to it and the Bills didn’t. On O, run the ball and swing passes. On D, collapse the pocket, tackle, and play man.

they don’t consistently call that. Otherwise, we would get that call about a 100 times per game.

I really can’t believe that PI call.

Another perfect snow play. Flip it out to chase and he can break a tackle.
