Neo

I am a Buffalo Boy and a Bills forever fan. I visit NOLA regularly for work, now. I love the Saints and the Saints fans. There are a lot of Bills Mafia similarities.

What’s it going to take? A new coaching staff. We’re getting exactly the run defense they want.

Ha, grateful for the acknowledgment! I’m not a fan of ol’ Noam’s politics, but he sure makes for interesting reading. The real shout out goes to @Jauronimo for his original, whimsical, post. I picked up Chomsky‘s Language and Mind years ago. It’s described as accessible. I struggled with it, but “get the several gists.” I’m having conversations with ChatGPT. Artificial Intelligence borrows, or shares, or incorporates some of his linguistic work. Its successes challenge some of his theories, as well. Nerd night. Discuss Chomsky, linguistics and large language models WITH a large language model like ChatGPT. Great man … not my favorite political theorist.

Don’t confuse my decision not to participate in non-sequiturs, moved goal posts, unrelated hypotheticals, character and intellect insults, and the conjuring of similar things that aren’t similar things with inconsistency. It’s as if you’ve sloshed a stew with a blender and subsequently accused me of not being able to identify the ingredients. Now to the kernel and why I didn’t respond. I believe you’re weirdly going down some rabbit hole and may be suffering from Inter-Web-Itis, aka the tendency to confuse issues followed by an inability or unwillingness to simply say that in public. The result is several days of increasing tangential questions and points, none of which relate to the original post. It’s not life threatening, but it probably deserves a cup of coffee and a pause. Other wise known as “when you’re in a hole, stop digging” syndrome. My bottoms line. There’s nothing about your worm hole that’s interesting enough to me to respond. You missed the point in your first response and then came at the missed point from four different directions. If, with notable hubris you cannot see yourself as anything but fascinating to me, I can’t help you. I’m not responding to goofy. I will try to be consistent with that. Good luck on your mission to scrub an internet message board and have it conform to your view of the world. At the risk of sending you into a coronary event, and with the hope of vanquishing the extraneous, I’ll repeat. I would prefer to beat the KC Chiefs with a healthy Mahomes and I prefer to compete against anybody’s “best.” You get to decide for yourself, by yourself. You may alert the media, my physician, local law enforcement authorities, the Wall Street Journal Op Ed page, and the U.N. They’re going to say “so what, good for him.” That might be a response for you consider, too. I wish you health, good fortune and joy. If any of those things rely on me sharing my thoughts on Super Bowl XXV during a KC with Mahomes conversation, you’re on your own for all three. “Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ralph was referring to looking at different things, or manufacturing different things, and then railing at them because they’re not the same. Godspeed ….

I can’t draw any conclusion other than he’s ready to play a lot of snaps, because he did. Effectiveness? Who knows on that field.

Play of the Year in back to back weeks.

I’m about to be excited, but will instead wait for “arm punt” and “should’ve taken the Diggs check down instead of Shakir in the end zone” posts.

The difference, tonight. Allen can throw and Purdy cannot.

Interesting and cool. It’s a touchdown pass, a touchdown reception, but not a catch. So, JA’s receiving line will be 0-0-1 for targets, receptions and TDs

It weighs 80 pounds in wind, snow and heavy air.

OJ Simpson had some unstoppable December games. Advantage human knowing where he’s going. There will be more big plays.

Is “hot waxed the cat” a euphemism?

Yes, now I understand. Thank you for your patience and efforts. I’m grateful for your insight into my character and intellect. You’re a special person with gifts. Please continue your efforts to make the board a better place and don’t be discouraged by hypocrites and dummies like me.

I wish you the best as you get on with your day.

Discounted? When did I make that claim? If goal posts moved in football games as much as they do on the interwebs, Norwood’s kick would’ve been good. Take sixty seconds and read what I’ve written, originally to no one but in response to the OP’s question. In my view, an Allen / Bills win over a Mahomes / Chiefs team would mean more to me than the same win over Wentz / Chiefs. I’d prefer it. I’d prefer Mahomes healthy. Read that twice. I’ve since learned, from good posters, that all wins count the same in the standings and other teams have beaten injured opponents. Well, alert the media. I had no idea. You want A5 Kobe or a choice shank steak? A cow is a cow. Your choice is yours and I have no interest in changing your mind.

Logging in to say grateful for your efforts!

You set your bar, I’ll set mine. You may not differentiate. I do. Allen and the Bills beating Mahomes and the Chiefs means more to me than Allen beating Wentz. That was the question in the OP asked. Context, history, myth and legend. I have grandchildren who’ve heard Marino and Elway, Bradshaw and Staubach. My grandfather goes to Starr and Unitas. Elway, Kosar. Marino, Kelly. Brady, Manning. I prefer an opportunity for romance, myth and legacy to a win over Carson Wentz. “A win is a win” is a perfectly fine way to look at competition. So is “no two wins are the same.” I don’t understand the need to challenge or contradict.

Wanting your partners and your competitors to be at their best is an approach to life. It’s grounded in confidence and accountability. It’s served me well. For your consideration - there is a satisfaction level associated with winning when your opponent is at his best that’s not present when you win against the wounded. Nothing is more gratifying or humbling. To my opponents - bring it.

Call me nuts. I want them at their best. Us, too, of course. No asterisks. A de-throning.

Here’s my view on Miami, and I say this with insight provided by a lifelong Dolphin fan I’m close to in addition to my 60 year experience with the rivalry. The Dolphins are a poorly constructed team, on the GM. The Dolphins are an undisciplined, predictable, unadvisedly aggressive team, on the coach. Tua is a narrow, skill set limited, QB who the team will over pay until and unless he goes down tragically. Miami is a world class city and a terrible football town. I came of age during the 0-20 decade. I miss their excellence.

I generally support pump the brakes posts. However, the Dolphins are less talented than almost everyone gave them credit for.

Luciano Pavarotti sang at the Met because he is tenor touched by God, not because the Met needed him to sing. Allen runs because he’s a lumberjack who accelerates and changes direction, not because the Bills need him to run. Without the gifts, no need is strong enough to summon Pavarotti or Allen to their respective stages. You’re looking through the wrong end of the telescope.

Another way to interpret what he said. The NFL is policing its product because its primary client, the entire nation, has its panties in a knot. In short, he’s referring not to the seller, but to the buyer, in that mutually dependent relationship. Me? I get why the NFL does it, but I lament the fact that I live in a world where it believes it has to.

Outstanding typo. With a “gunner” being the common denominator.

Hell … Dante’s 10th Circle for Bills fans.
