I'd bet even money that the shooters in most criminal acts haven't followed protocol by legally obtaining their firearm and carry permit. The vast majority of people with legally issued carry permits are law-abiding Americans who've been properly trained, and only want to be able to protect their family, themselves, and their property.

I think Collinsworth does a great job. I don’t understand the hate from some. It was like that for Dierdirf too-another guy in the booth I thought did a fair job.

This is so sad. A wonderful road trip to see his Bills beat the Dolphins ends like this. Hope the investigation finds the shooter. Part of the reason I've learned restraint is because of the number of crazies out there who think they're in an action movie and will just start discharging a firearm with no regard to consequences. I used to be the guy who would not back down from confrontation, even if there was a fair chance of getting my azz beat. Fortunately, I've had a more sensible wife to calm me down, and I sure don't want her in the middle of anything. I walk away. As Falstaff said, 'sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor'. Prayers for the family.

Although I know little about him, the name that keeps coming up on the defensive side of the ball is D line coach Eric Washington. Could he be a 'hire from within' candidate? Maintaining continuity is a plus. At the same time they'd be putting the word out to other prospective hires that McD rewards his coaching staff when they've earned a promotion.

I seriously doubt Rivera comes to Buffalo. The only reason for my (somewhat tongue in cheek)comment was because of the unending Carolina connection that seems to find it's way to Buffalo.

So, after a 17 year drought, for the 6th time in 7 years, Bills are in the post season, with a chance to take a 4th straight division title. Yeah, time to fire the head coach with the highest winning percentage in team history . 🙄

Worse case scenario, Bills lose and season over. But, if there’s any silver lining it’s that without making any additional moves they have a draft pick in at least the top 18. With a couple trades maybe move into top 12 and grab a blue chip WR. Also, slightly easier schedule in 2024, playing 2nd place teams in 2 AFC divisions and NFC. I believe we’d get Broncos and Browns where Miami gets KC and Ravens in AFC. Not wishing any of that on the Bills, just looking for some redemption should the worst happen. That said, I’m usually a bit nervous about the Bills; will they find a way to beat themselves with turnovers, poor execution, dumb penalties, etc.? Not feeling any of that today. My gut is telling me the Bills will slap the Dolphins silly, winning their 4th consecutive division title. Go Bills! Squish those fish!

Sack statistics can be misleading unless they're combined with QB pressures. I wish the stat was commonly displayed as (e.g.) sacks/pressures: 8/22. In my opinion, that would be a better measure of a defenders impact on passing plays. There are a lot of DEs who force QBs into scrambling, throwing INTs, and incompletions. Depending on the mobility of the QBs they face in a given season, the defender may not get a high number of sacks, even if he's contributing to plays that force punts. Sacks are an impressive stat, but only tell part of the story.

WNHS? East opened my senior year but I opted to finish up at South.

I suspect most folks here under the age of 40 won’t get the reference. 30 years ago! Wow!

My take has always been that if they need help from other games they probably aren’t good enough to win it all anyway. If they miss out on the playoffs, the Dolphins can get the first place schedule in 2024 and the Bills will jump several picks in the draft. Hoping they do win and show that they’re championship caliber. I believe they’re good enough. The keys will be not taking stupid drive-killing penalties and executing the way they did in the first matchup. And….don’t let it be so close that it’s decided by the zebras. It will be a miserable off-season if we have to wait through 8 months of ‘what could have been’ if we feel they got robbed of a win because of bad calls.

I believe you alluded to what for me is the biggest problem with these talkshow nitwits. They can’t just be comedians and schills for promoting showbiz guests’ latest projects – they feel obligated to preach to their audience their own political views. It’s only my opinion, but I don’t find any of the current hosts particularly funny or interesting.

They still have young receivers developing in Shakir and Shorter. I’m all for using first pick on WR if it’s a stud who can complement Diggs, but we have other needs too. Use 2nd on DL that will need replenishing after the cap claims a couple linemen.

The last four games, the bills have averaged one win per game. The only statistic that matters.

So far, Brady hasn’t thrown papers or used his tablet for a fly swatter following a loss.

Not really sure how effective over the air antenna is in this north Atlanta suburb because of the topography. I believe DIRECTV is actually offering to provide antennas. I’m curious to see if it would work. Assuming the previous responder is correct, it looks like we’ll be able to view the game on Peacock. Thanks to heads up from one of the TSW posters, we purchased the Black Friday special one year subscription for $19.99, so we should be able to view it there. BTW- we went for first game at the Kennesaw Anchor Bar with friends Had a great time. How did you watch? Whitehall?

Really hoping the Bills can find another receiver that could be 1A compliment to Diggs. Love Shakir, and Davis can be a threat- better than Hardy or Sherfileld. The Ravens and Dolphins are both positioned to win their respective divisions, partly because of their investments in WRs. The Bengals upped their status when having two healthy threats. Give Josh that added weapon and they’ll be deadly.

Directv is our primary provider for TV. They’re having one of those semi-regular contract disputes that cable and satellite carriers seem to have nowadays. Because of it, we haven’t had access via Directv to the local Atlanta NBC affiliate for several weeks. No idea how close they are to resolving the dispute. Can one of you answer this: does Peacock carry the Sunday Night NFL telecasts? btw- don’t need commentary on Directv. We’re long time subscribers that have an excellent 3-TV HD DVR package with Max and most cable channels for which we’re billed a whopping $60/month. They’ve been very good about negotiating low fees with us.

Bills looking ahead to Dolphins, stupid penalties, careless with the rock, Belichick pulls out the old ‘throw long and get pass interference in red zone’ to get in FG range for winning kick in closing seconds. Bills 17 Pats 15

Marv is the sort of person who sets an example for goodwill, integrity,,and class. I can’t imagine anyone who’s known or dealt with him ever having a bad word to say about the man. For all the crap we’ve experienced with Buffalo sports, we’ll always have Marv to be proud of-assuming he never murders an ex wife.

Uhh, yeah, no kidding. It also wasn’t called the ‘sistern’ chapel. It’s humor. Obviously, Rembrandt was busy with Whistlers Miother. Or that guy from Depew, Jackson Polack.

If Rembrandt takes a knee before finishing the sistern chapel or forgot the wiener on the statue of David they would fire his arse! 😜

You forgot to mention Allen doesn’t walk like a girl

I can’t remember an NFL game in which the desperation lateral drill tactic actually worked and resulted in a winning TD. Anyone here have a different recollection? edit: not referring to a kickoff backward pass like the Titans Wycheck thing. I was meaning a last play from the line of scrimmage with seconds remaining.

Minor detail… I believe regarding the Dodson comment, the much hated Collinsworth was referencing PFF data reports, not necessarily his own opinion.
