Marino was maybe a better passer, but he sure as hell wasn’t a better QB.
I'm as Buffalo as it comes but I don't think this is true. I wonder if we would have won some of those SB's with Marino. We had great defenses, special teams and better tight ends and a deeper WR corp AND runnings backs
He had Mark Duper

How did they "clean up"? They got a third round pick next year and a first round pick in 2023, which is worth less than a second round pick this year, to move from 3 to 6. The Jets traded three second round picks, including two in that year's draft, to move from 6 to 3 in 2018.
That was said before they traded up to 6. At 12 I stand by my statement

Miami cleaned up. What a deal for them. If Tua ends up being any good the Dolphins are going to be dangerous

Hahahahahaha! Everyone thought it was Mack. What a let down

I couldn’t possibly love this story any more. The good ol’ days!!!!
I went on to assume it would always be awesome and take it all for granted. That was the golden era man

I was at that game too. Good thing my friend’s dad is a die-hard because we asked if we could leave at halftime.
He said “let’s get a hot chocolate and see what happens in the third quarter”....and the rest, as they say, is history
My friend and I were in East Aurora hanging out at his house. Listening to the game on the radio we headed to the stadium because it was a blow out and we literally had no where else to be. We parked for like $5 and wandered around the stadium asking if we could get in. I guy in a wheel chair watching over one of the supply gates let us in for a pack of cigarettes. When we walked in the stadium was half empty and Bubba McDowell was running back a pick 6. I was 17

Must be phonies because at least 250,000 people claim to have been there that day
Nice item!
I don’t care how many people claim to be there. I was and never had a ticket.

The former is detail to which you're not entitled, especially since you appear to be asking it specifically to throw stones if you don't like the answer. It's also not germaine to my point, which is: everyone grieves and processes grief in their own way. If you choose to judge because their way isn't what you'd do, that's on you.
I wasn't really asking about your boss. It was rhetorical. It wasn't to throw stones but I was making a point.
Seems when it involves a sport we love suddenly we shouldn't judge but I guess that says a lot about me. You left out the part in the middle interestingly enough and only focused on my first and last sentence. I can judge and I clearly do. When you are father and a husband it's actually not just about you. Perhaps his other children or wife needed him. Who knows maybe they were like, "you know what, we got this you go and coach that regular season game, I mean we have other kids"
I've had this conversation with some of the dads in the neighborhood I hang out with. It's a bit tongue in cheek but there is a lot of truth to it. I judge people exclusively by the behavior of their children. It's as fair a metric as any. It cuts both ways, there are people I've met that I don't necessarily like that much at first but their kids are awesome and it forces me to rethink it. If you took any of my kids failings and blamed my wife or I for them you would be 100% correct to do it. Our children are the only thing we leave behind that matters.
To paraphrase a famous football coach "you are what your record says you are"

@#$@% what a Hella bad take.
Depression, suicide of a young person, is a terrible terrible thing. We can't imagine. One of my bosses had a son who suicided at age 17. Son was a star athlete, had lots of friends, no one knew where his head was. That man will never get over it, Never. Never.
If you come out of the "Hood" (the Parent"Hood") with a healthy and reasonably well-adjusted adult kid you are blessed, Blessed. Because in hindsight sometimes you learn how easily it could have gone another way, despite all the parents' love and care and attention. All of the stuff we say to our kids trying to raise them, the time we lost our temper and maybe said a couple things we didn't really mean, maybe three flaps of a butterfly's wings away from pushing our kid down that awful road. Parenting is a non-stop montage of humbling experience.
Everybody deals with grief in their own way. When Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman's first wife Irene died, he says he got back to work at the Manhattan Project as fast as possible. People asked about Irene and he said "She died. How's the Project?" He didn't want to talk about it. He was grieving, but he threw himself into his work. That was how he dealt with his grief.I'm not going to judge a guy I don't know what kind of parent he is. A lot of parents have high-powered careers that take them away from their families. Armed forces. Physicians. Executives. It all depends on what you do with the time you give your kids, and none of us know that.
There are literally millions of examples of broken families in all walks of life.
Did your boss take the day off or no?
I'm not making light of anything. It's horrific. That little girls brain is swollen and she might not wake up. There definitely is an imbalance to these things and NFL coaches. I don't pay attention to college so I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's similar. Any high end job will take a toll
A contractor I work with, his adult son died in a construction accident. When I saw him a 2 weeks later I stopped to tell him how unbelievably sorry I was and let him know if there was anything I could do I would be happy to. He was understandably broken but had to come to work because he's a construction worker he gets no sick time or vacation. Just can get laid off for as long as he can afford it. He just wanted to be home with his family and morn but he had a work because he has responsibilities. THAT is a tragedy. Broke my#%^*ing heart.
Dungy didn't take the day

I'd be onboard with this except Reid has 3 other kids who appear to have turned out OK.
If the standard is not being a criminal or dead then I suppose. I have 3 kids not sure I would consider just one of them dead or a drug addict a success.

If that child dies, he is going to jail for quite some time...
He might be even if she doesn't. At this point based on his history and anecdotal evidence I would say he deserves it.
Another point is Reid had another son die of an overdose and do jail time. I think it's safe to say a lot of NFL coaches are miserable parents. Any 24/7 job takes you away from your family is going to be a challenge. I imagine you have to have a plan and be very dedicated to whatever time off you have to be dedicated to them.
Even the "great" Tony Dungy went back and coached after his kid killed himself. I thought it was a scum bag move personally but I care about my family so what do I know. He had a enough money in his pocket to walk away from work forever, didn't even take the day. I've never really thought much of him since then.There are hundreds of examples of NFL coaches and broken families.

I'm more concerned about what Cowherd said during the segment. It makes a lot of sense.
We have no running game. The Ravens & Colts made it to the redzone 8 times & came away with 16 points...Chiefs won't come away with an average of 2 points per redzone attempt. They gave the reigns to Allen in the Ravens game in the 1st half & said "we're putting it on you!" (due to no running game) & we came away with 3 points.
Our team doesn't looks like it did in the regular season, and playing the Chiefs is going to be a huge challenge. To me, it looks like Allen plays a bit more hyped up with fans around, and playing in Arrowhead where they allow a lot more fans could make it even more difficult for him.Allen carried the team against the Colts
The wind was so bad during the Ravens game the most accurate kicker in NFL history missed 2 gimme's and came close to missing a third. Davis DROPPED a TD! Allen then missed Diggs twice wide open on deep balls that he hasn't missed all year. I think it's safe to say the wind was a problem for everyone. If the winds were normal and we give them there 2 kicks (then we get our 2 misses back) your looking at
Bills 41 - Ravens 9
If you take away the pick 6 it's
Bills 34 Ravens 16
Without the wind Allen is likely right about 70% at 305 yards +/- and 4 TD's
I think he's probably fine

Ita funny how fast all the national talking heads have jumped off the bills bandwagon.
Its kinda odd that a 13 and 3 second seed with one of the toughest strength of schedules is being talked down to a 5 seed that squeeked in on an easier schedule, after the bills just won a playoff game.
I understand to a certain point and I think the ravens are going to be a problem with a good shot they can win, but its like all of a sudden the bills are not trendy because they didnt win by enough.
Bills looked marginal against the Colts. It's probably for the best. These guys almost always show out when everyone picks against them.

Well, the Browns put up 48 points on Sunday and won, so if we look like the Browns that would be good with me.
I never like the "if only for this play" and "if only for that play" game, because the fact is, when one play changes the whole game changes.
We, too, had our "if only for this play" chances to alter the course of the game - if a potential interception doesn't go right through Hyde's hands. If the officials don't miss a blatant face-mask on Andre' Roberts but call a hold so we start on the 6 yd line (or even better, if Roberts decides to let it be a touchback so we start on the 25 yd line). If the fumble our D forced is actually ruled a fumble. Etc etc etc.
I'm a Bills fan and I am by no means doom and gloom. I was confident in getting to the AFC Championship before last week. It's the playoffs and I'm grateful we won, but anyone that thinks that game wasn't a step back is diluting themselves. The odds of those kicks being missed is slim and that receiver was WIDE OPEN. These are not subjective plays. It's ok to criticize your team, really it is. It doesn't mean it has to be the same way next week but there was hesitation all over the place and it came from the booth. They can be better and the "process" apply' s to them too. I would be shocked if McDermott wouldn't agree. I've seen a lot of self reflection and growth from this staff. Remember how horrible he used to be with time outs and 4th downs? Now he's tip of the spear. Maybe it's a good thing. If they learned from it. But it was less then their best
The Browns smoked a joke of team that we were all hoping to play. The Browns have been marginal most of the season. Yes, I too would love it if Baltimore mailed it in like the Stealers. I think we all know that's unlikely.
If this team plays like it did the last 6 weeks of the season I think we win comfortably, if they play like we did Saturday we loose and probably by a lot.

I’m worried too. 6 weeks of total domination and they turtled up hard. Looked like 2019 Bills. It wasn’t good, between the coaches and defense we should have lost that game. Rivers hit a a wide open receiver and the kicker doesn’t miss a short FG and we are DEAD!
I hope it was nerves and they come out swinging but everyone had us winning the SB and we looked like the Browns

A little weird walking in because of no lines. Inside there was an amazing vibe. It sounded loud to me from my seats. Fans were so into the game. I'm not sure why the 300 level was completely closed. I'm glad I went, so much fun.
If they let them do the same thing on the upper deck you could easily get another 2000 people in there
