TPS

I was wondering the same thing. Really, I'm wondering if he left out some punctuation? Is he asking why we watch as in the reason, or is he asking if we literally watch? That is, should there be a comma after why? Am reading too much into this?

He doesn't know anything. He gave the Bills the lowest draft grade for 2015, calling Darby a reach.

hmmm....seems to me that a lot of ryan supporters give him a pass on his Jets D after he lost His star CBs. How is that different? Doesn't he also need "stars to excel"?

I'm probably biased on this, but this is Ryan's second go-round, and he's not showing me that he's headed in the right direction on the "smart scale." Schwartz is an intelligent man, and I would wager that he will be more successful in his second go than Ryan. Regarding your other post, about ownership needing to step in. They don't need to be babysitters for a head coach. Ryan is showing that he hasn't learned from this past mistakes. At best he's a D coordinator. He is not HC material.

I think Schwartz is better head coaching material than Ryan. First and foremost, Schwartz is intelligent and a good football mind. When he was hired by the Bills I posted a thread about the parallels between Schwartz and Belichick (here). Last summer I started a post about the hype of Ryan's D vs the results Schwartz got (here). It appears Ryan's D will not eclipse Schwartz on the most important stat, ppg. My point: Pegulas, admit Ryan was mistake. Get Schwartz back here before someone else picks him up. Ryan may be a good D coordinator, but as a head coach, he just doesn't have IT, and I believe the Schwartz does.

how is it a one-trick pony? Are you saying he would not have been as successful this year? On a related note, I really hoped that they would hire Schwartz after Maroon left....pine.....

Whaley "invested" in the O during the off-season, and the D had lost only one starter, Searcy. On last year's 9-7 team, the O averaged 21 ppg and the D 18. This year, the O is averaging 24, while the D is averaging just over 23, 5 more per game. What did Whaley do to cause that change in the D's ppg?

Given the issues with the Williams brothers, I think Manny Lawson's role becomes more important and impactful.

The military-industrial complex understands Keynesian principles better than most....

What, no F-35 yet?

boy, are you wacked. Lightfoot was the terrorist who sunk the Edmund Fitzgerald.....

what about "get on board the peace train" cat Stevens?

As much blustering as Rex does over the pats, it was kind of funny.

sure, any given Sunday. I don't see them losing at home to SD, clev, and oak; their away games are oak and flacco-less Balt. I can't see them losing more than 1, which means the bills have to bet them, because they can easily lose 2 of their remaining 5.

he's done this a couple times. It reminds me of something that I saw in the ESPN episode on him going into his draft. The coach who was prepping him yelled at him several times for "aiming" the ball or trying to be too careful, rather than just throwing it and trusting his mechanics. When he has someone wide open he tends to do this--be conservative, aiming the ball, rather than throwing it and leading his receiver like we've seen him do often for some great throws. Just fling it Tyrod!

That's my point. The Chiefs look like they can coast in with the exception of playing the Bills. Given a tough sledding of road games, a win tonight would make that 5-2 a hellofa lot easier...

thanks for posting that. Not much hope for those in Raqqa who oppose Isis; they will be leveled when the bombs really start dropping...

They are playing as well as any team in the NFL right now. They have a very easy schedule remaining; the Bills are probably their toughest opponent left. As I said in a thread last week, the KC game will determine if they have a shot at the post-season. They really could use a win tomorrow...

i don't know, this seems to fit more in line with things we discussed prior to the Iraq invasion: Middle East regime change was outlined in the neoconservative PNAC plan put forth in the late 1990s--first Iraq, then Syria, then Iran, though they thought they could get it done in 5 years. Obama/bush, rep/dem, doesn't matter. Btw, I asked what people thought of gabbard's view, but I see it's been discussed somewhat in the Putin thread.

Looks as if they are trying...http://news.yahoo.com/french-muslim-calls-on-peers-to-stop-terrorism---the-solution-will-come-from-us-165741864.html Interested in any takes on this Congresswoman's view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3hRF1TIgCU&feature=share she recently introduced a bill to end our "illegal war" in Syria, co-sponsored with a republican member of the Armed Services Committee.

Thanks as usual. Wondering if you could check one thing, how much time did TT stand in the pocket before delivering the TD pass to KW? Seemed that play took an eternity to develop and still no one near Taylor.

I was thinking about this today, that the KC game will most likely determine the Bills' playoff fate.

Could be another long night for Miller (and TT) Thursday...

Personally, I've seen enough evidence to believe he is a franchise QB in the sense he is someone who can win a Super Bowl without relying solely on a great D (a la Dilfer et al). He is good enough to win now, and he will only get better.

Whenever I hear about "aurora borealis" I think if the film "Local Hero"....
