Ok...I'm actually stupid. What does "Belinda" mean? I've seen it posted here a number of times over the years. Belinda Carlisle?? That's all I got.

Ancient Chinese secret

[Anyone use an electric lawn mower?]

Depending on how handy you are, you can modify Greenworks batteries to work in Kobalt tools (& vice versa).

Alternately, you can swap out the innards.

[Favorite Cover Songs?]

This is what 1st came to mind:

 

This one, too:

 

[Chiefs Request Christmas Game Yearly]

The only advantage I can see is if they host, the visitors will be traveling on a short week.  Yes, that's an advantage, but I think it also would displease their players, particularly those w/ kids.

[Hoecht and Ogunjobi 6 game suspension for PEDs]

I'm wondering about the cap ramifications.  If Hoecht has a $3m base salary for '25, presumably we get $1m+ cap relief (6/17 of that for which he's out).

Ogunjobi seems to be $8.3m (w/ $8m guaranteed) w/ no bonus for just '25, so that presumably saves us almost $3m in cap savings.  Yes?

Did anyone ask him about that 3rd round pick they flushed down the toilet on Amari Cooper?

 

I would love to hear their answer to that.

 

 

We didn't necessarily just "flush it down the toilet".

Granted, the benefit we got from him this year was negligible & he may quite possibly sign elsewhere.  But, if he does...

depending on what we do elsewhere WRT Free Agent signings & losses, we may very well be entitled to compensation if he signs elsewhere.  Doubtful it'll be a 3rd round, but if it's a 4th you got a contributor for a fraction of a season which served as a "tryout" for next season (I don't think you should discount this benefit) tghat seems like a worthwhile trade, even if the compensatory pick is delayed a year.

[Worst Bills Player of all time?]

1st person came to mind was "Friggin Lonnie" (Johnson).  Next who immediately came to mind & others have mentioned is BJ Hobart.  Peterman played one game where I think he was literally the worst statistical QB ever.

[Bills have fired Eric Ciano]

Interesting that it said "fired", rather than "parting ways", or something similar.  Granted, it's a reporter rather than an official source.  Curious what is said when the Bills announce it.

[Can Brady scheme for #1 WR’s?]

I think one question is - why would you want to?  The idea is to get someONE open.  Doesn't matter who.  Yes, you'd rather have someone wide open 30 yds downfield as opposed to 3, but it's much easier to take what the defense gives you.  If you're trying to "scheme" that guy open 30 yds downfield, that is much easier accomplished if the defense doesn't know who you're gonna throw it to.  Look at the success throwing to Diggs as opposed to Shakir or Kincaid the end of '23.  Shakir was FAR more successful - more completions for more yards on far less attempts.

I'm going with a throwback for the sake of this topic 

 

Most memorable commercial ever IMO.  Definitely got your attention.

[Hot Take: Does Bobby Babich Lose His Job?]

I would tend to think not, but he doesn't make a case for good performance so it is possible.  We weren't very good on defense & again crumbled when the going got tough.

A couple of relevant points is how much is this Babich's doing & how much McDermott.  Related, firing him would be a case of do as I say, not as I do.

[Should Von Miller be cut?]

$9M for a part-time player that isn't overly dominant & IMO is more aptly described as "good" is an extravagance where the cap space could better be put elsewhere.

[Josh Allen vs our defense?]

# of times the Chiefs let up more than 25 pts this season?  4, 2x against the Bills & once against their "B" team.

# of times the Chiefs scored more than 30 pts in a game this season?  Once; you know when.

[Gaaah]

I thought we were going to be discussing some Klingon delicacy.

[Quarterback Playoff Stats Comparison]

Allen, Mahomes & Jackson is a fair comparison & it confirms the eye test.  As for Brady, much of his career was in a different era, so of course you have to take into consideration inflation

[Bills Broncos Post Game Thread]

Has a coordinator ever been fired during the playoffs?  Asking for a friend.

[Another disaster by McDs defense in the playoffs]

We really need to add a sarcasm font. :DOH:

[OK so who had this on their 2024 NFL Bingo card?]

For their rookie years, I think Mayfield looked the best & being the 1st overall was justified.  Likewise, Darnold showed signs of talent though very much played "rookie like".

[Bills game is on in Albany!]

Damn, I meant to check, but never got around to it.  I watch it on an "alternate Feed"

I think by virtue of it being CBS, rather than Fox, they have far less allegiance to the Giants & NFC that was likely the reason.

[What is Josh Allen worth in wins and losses?]

Interesting "hypothesis" & nice job collecting data & analyzing it.  One possible issue I can think of, which I don't really know, is a chicken-egg thing.  That is, does a successful team lead to a QB having a better QBR, or does the better QBR lead to a more successful team.  Not really knowing how QBR is determined/measured, I can't say.

[Free Kick rule]

The thing you're not noting is that although kickers are better, w/ far more range, but punters are, too.  In a kick away situation, netting 50 yards is a mediocre effort.  This means unless you're pinned near your goal line, you're still typically gonna out kick a placekickers range.

[Small plane crash in Dion Dawkins yard.]

Says the plane was a 1979 Beechcraft A36 enroute from Lansing, Michigan to White Plains, NY.   So it was just passing through., something obviously went terribly wrong at altitude.  

Actually, w/ required fuel reserves, it likely would need to refuel, especially flying into a headwind.

[You sure? chronicles: "Bills explosive pass plays have taken steep rise – despite absence of Stefon"]

I don't think you can conclude our improved RAC is attributable to getting rid of Diggs & eliminating the need to cater to his strengths.  I happen to think the primary factor is a shift in offensive "style" in that even in the latter 1/2 of the year once Brady replaced Dorsey (a time when Shakir outperformed Diggs), it was still primarily Dorsey's offense which for the most part lacked completions where a receiver had good opportunity for RAC.

[Bass missed FG]

Now that you mention it, I do recall thinking that he looked oddly "very soccer style", ie like he was going to kick it right, rather than you'd think he'd come more straight on in that instance so he would kick across to his left.
