I'm a long time hockey fan and player. The brand of hockey we now have in the NHL regular season is incredibly boring to me. There's no intensity in the games anymore and it's rare to find physical play. Most games have the atmosphere of a pre-season scrimmage. Playoffs are a different matter. As a sports fan viewing on TV, soccer is by far the best. It has the strategy/mental component to the game that baseball does, while retaining the fluidity and action of hockey. Zero commercials too, a brief halftime, and you know just how long it will take, more or less, to play the game...and it's not all freaking afternoon. 4 hour + baseball games these days are common. That's absurd. Football games are way too long and are literally a 3 + hour commercial that is interrupted, briefly, now and again, by the game of football.

In America the left lane is usually plugged up by some slow driving idiot in a SUV refusing to look in his mirror or get the hell out of the lane. Ironically, the lane furthest to the right is often the fastest. There is zero lane discipline in this country and in general, I find driving on American highways kind of scary. You never know what anyone is going to do, cars move in all directions, and half the drivers are asleep at the wheel or doing something other than focusing on driving. Yes, this is a huge pet peeve of mine.

That coffee pot, aside from the plastic/glass "Knob" at the top, looks like every coffee pot in every cowboy movie ever made. It's the one sitting on top of the camp fire. Gotta have your coffee when you are on a long ride. On a somewhat related note, has anyone ever noticed how in cowboy movies you will often see a cowboy on a long ride, somewhere in the desert or very arid environment....he's been riding for hours.....all sweaty, dusty, and worn out....comes into some tiny town....heads straight into the tavern and orders "whisky." I always found that kind of funny. If I was dehydrated and sweating my ass off in 90+ ambient temps, I'm not sure the first thing I'd think of would be to throw back a shot of whisky, but I'm not a cowboy.

Very peculiar video. I also wonder how this video was found in the first place. These two guys don't come across as the most polished, competent people I've ever seen.

Happy Birthday. Wear your Depends in good health.

Be careful who you are marrying. No offense to you or your fiancé as I know neither of you at all, but people should be judged by the company they keep in my opinion. This "best friend" sounds like a really low quality individual, and she's your fiancé's best friend? Or at least was thought as much for some amount of time? These are warning flags my friend! It's up to you to sort it out and make sure you're marrying the right woman. If you are, the "best friend" needs to be removed from the picture. It would be more effective for your fiancé to take care of that instead of you.

Shhh. These people only see the world in severe black and white terms. There is no room for subtlety or sophistication in their thought patterns. It's part of what makes them knuckle draggers and mouth breathers. You're wasting your keystrokes.

That's self contradictory. It would help if the OP defined his terms. Everyone has a different idea of what "tank" means and in that sense, it's not really a useful term.

No one has completed as many passes as Nate did against Chicago for as few yards SINCE 1950. Other than that, he did a great job!

I see your suck move and raise you Nate Peterman as named starter. Top that, Jets!

I'd love to see us lose out, and I want Allen playing ASAP. This season was over on Week 1 and all that can be gained here on out is top draft picks. The sooner this organization gets to the day that they realize "Josh ain't it" the better off we all are.

They're all the same according to you, huh? A team just needs to go to the franchise QB store and buy one, and any one is as good as another? Right?

On that drive he threw a pass directly to a Carolina DB who dropped the ball despite it being an easy catch. That tends to get forgotten in the aftermath, but drops are a part of the game. EJ even hit on the long ball once in a while. He did some nice things. Horrible QB on balance. Bills fans have been served rotten garbage for an entire generation under the label "dinner." It's gotten to the point where a lot of them don't remember what a well cooked meal tastes like. And who can blame them!

It's kind of funny how people don't seem to understand that we are a quarterback hungry team as well. We should be using our own Top 3 pick to maybe even move up (depending on lots of stuff that can't be determined right now) and get a top QB prospect ourselves. The time for grabbing the QB is when you are picking high and don't have one already. That describes the Bills perfectly.

And when you consider Pluto is not a planet anymore, the comparison is even further removed from reality! Allen and Peterman won't be around much longer. This thing is going to implode next year when Allen doesn't progress and then McBeane, Allen, and Peterman won't be around. Other than that, the Allen/Peterman combo looks great.

get er done beane.

And if Terry is going to keep personal interviewing and deciding who the HC is, it may not even matter if he fired everyone tomorrow....he'd just repeat the same mistakes again. Presumably. He is a very low information sports fan who needs someone really smart and informed telling him what to do and advising him every step of the way. As long Pegula does not have that and assumes he know what he's doing, I predict he will be prone to repeating the same mistakes. We are already seeing some evidence of that. Wait, so everything isn't going perfectly according to plan?

I'm sure they are getting black balled and that is totally petty, unprofessional, and even sleazy. F the Pegulas.

In watching the NE vs. GB game, I was reminded that when Brady does throw long, it is rarely a completion and often the ball is not particularly well placed. That is more of a recent thing as he ages, but it's still there. Their entire approach is short passes with excellent execution and a very high probability of success. Think about it: as long as you can get 4 yards per pass, you'll always move down field and never have to punt. You don't necessarily need to throw long to be successful.

I think McDermott's planned strategy of constant hand clapping plays into this as well. He fully understands that "failure" is just an opportunity to improve.

A lot of folks do not believe this was a tank and there is evidence to suggest that it was not. It comes down to whether or not you want to give McBeane the benefit of the doubt and assume they are competent, or not.

No NFL quarterback since 1950 with at least 31 completions in a game has gained fewer yards than Peterman, with 189, did Sunday. That fits McDermott perfectly. He is a '50s era kind of guy.

I had already heard the stat about TDs = Pick 6s and reported on that at this forum... But this one was new to me, and made me laugh: "No NFL quarterback since 1950 with at least 31 completions in a game has gained fewer yards than Peterman, with 189, did Sunday."

So then, considering our offense is literally historically bad, you're saying Sean McDermott is not a good HC. Yes?

Hard pass.
