I’ve done it twice. I won’t say they were painless, but there was surprisingly little pain when the tears happened. There’s soreness and swelling after, especially if cartridge is torn. OId man trivia, Dr. Marzo did my first surgery in the early 1990s. Bills physician, surgeon at the time. Most memorable physical impression … both times my brain believed my knee was “unraveling” because things where going in directions they shouldn’t. Both times I felt an immediate “snap back” into place. Think of those holiday toys where you press the bottom of a base piece and the elf, or santa, or reindeer collapses, and snaps back to upright. That’s my ACL history.

But the conspiracy is about revenue, isn’t it? TV markets? Not first or second place. Who cares. The bad actors are money guys, correct? That’s what i’ve been told … or, can you simply claim conspiracy with no evidence, and then create a limitless number of circumstances to support the most recent allegation? I think they gave it to Cincinnati because they’re PETA members who want to bring attention to tigers

But, if they handed it to New England, next week’s Pats v. Fins game would have more meaning. In bigger tv markets. How do you square that calculus in conspiracyville?

That’s the most impressive evidence that Frazier did stop him. You think Fields just woke up today and said “you know, rushing as a QB has been the most important part of my game since Pop Warner, but I’m just not going to do it, today.”

Thank you for your commitment to multiple astute grasp of the obvious posts that provide no insight and respond to no post asserting the contrary. No one’s ever said turning the ball over repeatedly is a winning strategy. Critical thinking error: People are glad their team won despite dozens of plays that could have been better EQUALS people believe bad play is a winning strategy. You created an argument no one made and continue to argue against it.

Until the two minute warning … some later than that.

Thirty five points in frigid wind. Twenty two point lead. Road game requiring early travel. All the chicken little posts …

Burrows is as bad as Allen. He just threw a pass to a receiver who subsequently fumbled, too.

Burrows just threw a pick six, his second interception. The NFL is a grind.

Chip shot in lousy weather. It’s in the books.

Yes. I suggested it might be and that I’d have taken the certain points. However, I had risk and probability in inclement weather explained to me. What you saw, today, was an optical illusion. 7 - 7.

The Bears have had protective gear and known how to find heat for years.

Josh Allen makes that tackle. Jim Kelly drops him.

If you’re robbing a bank, you are robbing people.

Your condescension aside, and with no comment on the theoretical world you constructed to critique mine, any decision is made in all of our theoretical worlds. McD made a choice in his theoretical world. That’s the topic. I’m not sure I’m correct, but i’d like to see the number of TDs in thirty seconds vs chip shots in snow globes. We could name the combinations and permutations of 22 players at a time slipping. Everyone has their favorite risk and uses that as evidence. None can be eliminated. I’ll take the points in hand (100%, and the only inarguable certainty in this mess of a debate) and defend. Sitting in front of a television watching 300 pound men pawing at plastic grass trying to move slippery snow made the points on the board very valuable to me. You can disagree.

Well, no. The risk of xp miss assumption, more eloquently said by me, would be the same for the Bills or Dolphins. The Bills would have six or seven on the board, and the Dolphins would respond with six or seven. My assumption is that the xp result is the same for both teams. I wrote “assumed both make.” Thirty four seconds to match a TD, same xp result, and then OT.

Full disclosure. I’ve not coached an NFL team and I’ve not run the numbers, but: Seems to me odds of taking the TD and allowing 34 seconds and winning are greater than running out the clock and kicking the FG. Assumption: No team misses an xtra point if they get a TD. Situation becomes Bills up by seven. Miami has to score a TD in 34 seconds and then beat us in OT. I think this is less likely than a FG on that turf (cleared or not) with that makeshift OL. One poster has Hill living rent free in McDermott’s mind. There may be something to this.

Bump ….

Man, Bills are just money in these one score games.

That’ll happen when it’s you and nothing.

It’s Allen and nothing against the world.

NFL …. the sport that debates catch, game after game.

Catch punts. Don’t catch punters.

Knox … good guy, occasional highlight, undependable playing a position where dependability is a requirement

She’s being raised right …
