Maybe someone can find Buster Douglas and we put him on the sidelines.

I love that attitude and hope they adopt it. Pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, high risk... high reward and lets see if we can flip the script on Darth Bill for a change. Let him be caught guessing what is coming next. I know the talking heads always say that is one of Bill's strengths, that he gets in other coach's heads and makes them lose their game plan. In this case, we have the extra time and for a change the luxury of being able to absorb a loss and still be in position for the playoffs.

And honestly there are numerous players who said the prescription pain killers they ate like candy made them batsheet crazy half the time. I know requirements for medical marijuana are a standup comedy joke but I think there is a legitimate argument to be made for NFL players having a real need.

We agree the key is stopping the quick stuff, we differ in how to focus to get there. I prefer doing it by attacking what I see as their one weakness, the OL. Nothing our DL does will matter if the back 7 are unable to hold up their end just like nothing the back 7 does will matter if the front 4 are invisible. I just prefer to focus the attack where they look to be weakest.

How the Pats are camouflaging their OL flaws is the key. There is no reason we should not be able to capitalize on that O line even with the quick pass routes. You get to Brady as he releases and put a body on him 4 or 5 times and even he will start to flinch and dance a bit in the pocket. I don't want late hits or cheap shots, I want our theoretically more talented line to simply outplay their less talented line. To make that happen our staff needs to outdo the Pats staff and I do not know if they will.

Yeah, those headsets have created an entire generation of QBs that look lost without that crutch. I wish they would get rid of them entirely.

And what is beautiful is his legs were that fresh late and with the confidence the coaches and team has to have in Williams I hope we see a fresh McCoy in the 4th every game because like you said, he took over that last drive when everyone knew the run was option one and option two and option three was likely a run as well.

Yeah, if I'm going to complain (and I do), I better compliment when it is time. I was very happy with what we got tonight, we have to have it next week as well if we want any chance at all.

The man is a legit NFL receiver but he still lapses into moments of self-aggrandizement. It drove me nuts when he was here and it will likely never change.

This one is for the fans, not the team. How many times is that how you feel Sunday evening? Blue Oyster Cult and a bit of dating myself. You're seeing now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars, I've been living on the edge so long, where the winds of Limbo roar. And I'm young enough to look at, And far old to see, all the stars are on the inside. I'm not sure that's there's anything left to me Don't let these shakes go on! It's time we had a break from it, It's time we had some leave. We've been living in a place, We've been eating up our brains. Oh please don't let these shakes go on! You ask me why I'm willing, why I can't speak to you, You blame me for my silence, saying it's time I changed and grew. But the wars still going on dear, And there's no one that I know. And I can't stand forever. I can't say if were ever gonna be free, Don't let these shakes go on! It's time we had a break from it, It's time we had some leave. We've been living in a place, We've been eating up our brains, Oh please don't let these shakes go on! You're seeing now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars, My energy is spent at last, and my armor is destroyed, I have used up all my weapons, and I'm helpless and bereaved. Wounds are all I'm made of! Did I hear you say that this is victory? Don't let these shakes go on! It's time we had a break from it,Send me to the rear! Where the title madness swell, And been sliding into Hell. Oh please don't let these shakes go on! Don't let these shakes go on Don't let these shakes go on!

They so far lack identity and often seem punch drunk like the protagonists actual drunkenness. And this is not a bad summary of the love/hate relationship of Buffalo fans with this team. There's a place where I know you walked The love falls from the trees My heart is like a broken cup I only feel right on my knees I spill out like a sewer hole Yet still receive your kiss How can I measure up to anyone new After such a love as this

You know what I want him to watch and figure out is how every time Brady runs a QB sneak he gets a yard. Every single time it seems. Whatever Brady and his center and guards are doing is working to perfection and we should copy it. Not piecemeal, copy it exactly since the entire league has been watching Brady execute it to perfection for 15 years and still can't stop it. I don't know why they do it so well but I am not an NFL offensive coordinator, he is. Don't reinvent the wheel, the blueprint for a great wheel is right there on 15 years worth of film, reverse engineer it.

I've always wondered if sometimes the referee does not throw the flag until he sees the receiver did not catch the ball. I seem to think they'd rather if he catches it pretend the penalty didn't happen as long as the offense gets what they deserve so to speak.

The reason this game pissed me off so much was this line 34,0,0,0. Points allowed, Sacks, Fumbles recovered, Interceptions. That stat line from what was last year one of the best Ds in the league, a D that is healthier than most and was a consensus top 10 D this year. At home. That is what pissed me off. As you said, I tempered my expectations for the offense due to injuries so I knew we would need the defense to step it up. I have to think the defense knew they had to step it up as well. And they laid a legitimate doughnut out there. A big fat pile of stinking doughnut.

There is an old saying that says the worst sex I ever had was good. That philosophy applies to today's game, terrible win and it is good.

That's where I am. He doesn't even have to run the ball, just move the damn pocket and put him in space where he can be a threat to do so. I hate watching him take a three or five step drop and never move an inch laterally.

Why going out of bounds is being discussed is because of the risk to reward ratio of the decision to cut inside. There was very little reward and very real risk as we saw. The fact the risk does not actualize in the hypothetical you bring up does not make the decision any less wrong. Would it have be as impactful a mistake? No, of course not but it would have remained a mistake non the less.

Because if you use a player that is 40% owned versus one that is 4% owned, there are ten times as many people you have to beat with the rest of your lineup if you make the right low player usage selection. And usage rates can be surprising sometimes as the contrarian sentiment is very high in DFS. There are weeks marque players are not very highly owned due to other players favorable matchups or injuries to starters and if you know the week Tom Brady is not very highly owned and play him AND he performs well, you get an advantage. Just knowing who is low usage is not enough, they have to perform as well.

South Park's take on Goodell. Sorry, this was the best short clip I could find.

I like what I am hearing, I hope it projects onto his team's performance.

I like actual discussions, they make me sit back and actually analyze my own position on things sometimes.

I got the impression the employee posted this information publicly somewhere before the game start times (when players find out) and someone else put two and two together after they realized he had the info before the public and he had cashed a big tournament win. Who, I don't know. Oh I have seen the projection algorithms but although the structure is pure math, not all the settings within it are. These guys tweak the variables for points per touch, game flow multiplier, number of touches etc based on information and analysis. They try to be as objective as possible but there is always some subjectivity to it when things like weather and injuries are involved.

As a matter of fact, I am cashing $83 dollars on my teams from this weekend, played $80 and I have the Seattle defense on one of my five lineups so if they do well I could increase that. I could also lose about 13 dollars of that 83, maybe a little more if there is a record setting points output from several players. You are right for the most part, the guys who do dozens of hours of research and scan all the news sites and such, they win consistently. For me it is a not too expensive hobby that fills the extra time I find on my hands since I retired.

meh, I have put $700 in over the last two years, betting year round on golf, some baseball and football every week and I still am sitting on about $250. I place probably $50 to $150 in bets (and yes they are bets, don't let anyone tell you otherwise) a week for football, half that for golf, maybe thirty bucks a day for baseball if I can build a team I like. So while I am not in the green I am far from throwing money down a well I think.

The instance here is usage rate of players. It is harder to win a tournament with high usage players so lineups with low usage, high potential scoring players gives the best return on investment and these employees knew the usage rate at their site so the usage rate at other sites is likely comparable with some variation allowed for differences in salaries.
