yes, you silly!
people who work in markets (financial, gambling, etc) are generally familiar with these terms.
When you’re at your next high level financial market meeting, explain to the snobs what over/under means.

So, the clip cuts off just when it gets interesting. That's annoying.
And why was the Shnowman sitting there without a top on?
Without a top? Because he’s a guy.
Without a shirt? Dunno.

If Michael Thomas is cut, I wonder what his market value is? Could be an intriguing option

There will be a Hopkins-esque shiny object free agent receiver who, like Hopkins, will profess his desire to win and who, like Hopkins, will have a ridiculous 300 page thread on this board and who, like Hopkins, will sign with one of the worst teams in football for an extra $1.

That's a crazy 2025 dead cap hit. Wouldn't it make more sense to restructure or extend him?
Perhaps the fact that he sucks played a role.

Clearly less drinking results in winning Superbowl.
Bills will never win it.
Did they do meth rankings?

I feel like Jeremy Chin would be a seamless fit in Buffalo but I’d imagine he’s going to get a huge contract
A DB from Carolina signing with the Bills ought to create a lot of fun on this board.

Wait. This chart says we’re tied for the fewest DBs taken in the entire league and are well below the league average. But I read on here 5,637,904 times that drafting DBs is our main priority and all we ever do.
I trust this board so someone better fix that stupid chart.

Why is this even a thread? It seems like a lot of "ifs" here.
What about if Vince Lombardi returns from the dead next year and if the Bills lose in the AFC Championship? If they then fired McDermott, would they hire Vince if he wanted the job?
Holy crap dude Kyle Shanahan is now on Vince Lombardi’s level?

While it's nice they addressed the fact that each team is now guaranteed at least one possession, that still leaves the situation of is it really fair that if both teams are the same after the first possession then the team with the 3rd possession can win it with no ability to respond for the other?
I'd say no.
I'm not sure why the NFL doesn't just go to the college OT format. It clearly is the most fair, as both teams are guaranteed the same number of possessions, and it comes down to which team scores more points on the same number of possessions, not which team has the ball for the 3rd possession of the game is still tied after the first 2.
The NFL still has it wrong even with their "fix" in the playoffs IMO.
Perhaps that is why Shanahan took the ball first? Never thought of this possibility but if both teams scored TDs or FGs or had to punt, then the team with the 3rd possession only needs a FG to win the game.
It’s really the only sport that has to worry about this stuff. Baseball has a natural progression. Other time based sports like hockey and basketball have possessions regularly changing. With frequent scoring in hoop and infrequent scoring in hockey, their systems make sense, especially in the NHL playoff. Soccer, a stupid sport, has a stupid system as it is much more well suited for sudden death like hockey but opts for the random penalty kicks after a fixed period. Dumb. Ties in regular season make sense but a World Cup final decided by penalty kicks is absurd.
I don’t think there is really a great system possible for football without making it hokey like college.

Lol was he calling the offensive plays in the second half or the red zone offensive plays in OT? Shanahan is a moron.

Not while the Pegulas are our owners. Shanahan tanked his interview here in 2015 when they hired Rex. They hated him.
Perhaps because the douche bag apple never fell very far from the douche bag tree.

I stopped reading when I saw sour grapes Creed Humphrey mentioned. He had about 36 bad snaps.

Even if you achieve best case scenario on your opening drive and score a TD, you then put your defense at a big disadvantage because the best QB in the NFL has 4 downs the entire drive to score a TD and then go for 2.
You never take the ball first.
IMO
I’m not saying there isn’t a case to be made for kicking. I’m saying simply dismissing the advantages that come from receiving is results oriented thinking based on tonight’s game.. The rule should be designed to be fair to both teams, kicking and receiving, and I think for the most part it is fair. There are advantages and disadvantages to each choice. Personally I can’t think of anything more 50/50 without being hokey. The college stuff is hokey.

But Mahomes would just go for 2. And you still risk losing never having touched it again and having given him an extra down to get in. Short of stopping the best player in football with 4 downs at his disposal every time the BEST case scenario actually is you bring the game down to a 2 point conversion attempt. That is a better than 50/50 proposition for above average offenses according to the data.
It’s not an extra down inside FG range.

Yep exactly, I posted this in the game thread. I’m not saying there isn’t a case for receiving but totally understand why you take the call. Technically it’s the correct choice. The first coach that kicks and then loses in this scenario will get reamed for not choosing to receive the kick.
I think they would only face the wrath if each team scored scored equally on their first drive….0, 3 or 7, then the receiving team scored. If the receiving team scored then the kicking team failed, no real fallout for the coach.

Well yeah if first score wins then you take the ball. But that's not the rule.
It is exactly the rule if both teams score equally on their first drive.

Yeah it's pretty simple. If you receive the ball first, you get 3 downs to accomplish your goal. If you receive the ball second, you get 4 downs and it makes a lot of decisions easier.
That’s not entirely true. If you’re KC down three and face 4th and 2 from your own 25, of course. How about 4th and 2 inside FG range?

With respect to the bolded, that's only a consideration if the game is tied 35-35 or something. It was 19-19 because neither team could score. You don't base your decision on the mere possibility of 3 scoring drives in a row in this kind of game.
Huh? If each teams scores equally on their first possession then it is back to the very old school rule of first score wins. So…..if first score wins and you win the coin toss is that an advantage or nah?
