    In whatever place these freakozoid athletes get to mentally, Allen has no choice but to get there with them. Jordan has it, Tiger has it, Nicklaus had it, Brady and Montana had it. I’m sure Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio had it. Recently, all three Tennis greats have it.

    In today's related news....

     

    Caitlin Clark has it.  She broke the NCAA point record yesterday. Her shot hit nothing but net.

     

  2. Some posters will use any freaking occasion to beat their "Fire McDermott" drum. This thread is chock FULL of them. But there are other threads as well today.

     

    The Mahomes trope is years old, worn out, and unimaginative. It is wrong and BORING!!!

     

    This board.. sheesh.

  3. I always wanted the AFC to win, no matter who it was, for the past decades.

     

    But today, with some sadness, I'm cheering on the NFC.

     

    It's a bummer. But I dislike the Chiefs more than I dislike the NFC.

    Does anyone know where Jill, the woman who won Wheel of Fortune, is sitting in the stadium?  I wonder if she sold the tickets and is just hanging out in the Bellagio.

    Somewhere there is Jill's guy who says "Look what I have, and you don't"

    I must be a traditionalist, but I like the unis as they are in red, white, and royal blue.  You can’t get more American then red, white and blue.

    You can get more American if you sing Toby Kieth while looking at it.

     

    May he RIP.

    It *might* make sense from a chromostereopsis standpoint of red adjoining blue creating a blurry affect, which ostensibly is the case on the blue jerseys… but on the road set we have black outlines between the red on the numbers & sleeves and the white jersey. And it’s between the blue and the white on the helmets. Such inconsistency. In the era of HDTV this is not needed. Even in the Kelly era with SD, this was not needed. It was just red, white, and blue. Simple as that. And the freaking collars that have changed 6-7 times with the different Nike templates (the toilet bowl ring, then it did meet at the V, then it didn’t, then it did, then it met but was just a grayed fabric, and now there’s an elongated V with the Fusion template)… please lose them!; just make the collars the same color as the jersey already. 

    ...

    You correctly used chromostereopsis in a sentence. Do you hangout at AKG Gallery?

     

    You are TSW scholar of the day.

    With geriatric Frazier, we had one of the best defenses in the NFL.

     

    I don't think our failures in the playoffs had anything to do with Frazier's age.  Youth isn't an automatic cure.  

     

    Frazier was born the same year I was, btw.  I don't believe my cognitive skills, imagination, inventiveness, mental energy, etc. have declined at all.  Saying Frazier is too old to run a good/aggressive defense is an insult to everyone my age.  Spags in KC is the same age as Frazier and me and seems to be doing just fine.  

     

    Prejudice based on age is just as pernicious as prejudice based on race, gender, ethnicity, or anything else.  

     

     

    You have all your brain cells working, good. Tip: if your Doc prescribes a statin drug for cholesterol--don't take it. Statin drugs bring brain fog.

     

    As a White Male Senior recently looking for a job, I can assure you age discrimination is rampant. I even made a resume without dates--it got nowhere. So here I sit, retired earlier than I want to be.

    I need a new saw so I'm getting a Dewalt 10 inch miter saw.

     

    I'm building a play ramp for my dogs and my Skil saw isn't doing the job.  It's a cheaper one and I don't have a steady enough hand to cut it straight...I need better equipment.  

    Heh. I have a 10 inch Ryobi miter that I'm about to put on Craig's List. I have no idea what to ask for it.

    RIP fellas.

     

    I'm so glad I don't partake. The words "Hey Babe, you wanna do some lines, possibly laced with Fentanyl, then watch the game while stoned?" will never cross my lips.

     

    How can you appreciate the nuances of football while stoned or ripped-drunk? There's only 17+ games a year, I want to appreciate every play.

    We don't even play the playoff games if the defense doesn't get this team into the playoffs.

     

    We have the number one seed and week 18 "bye" if Allen doesn't throw 3 picks vs Jets, 2 vs Den, and doesn't throw a pick on first play of game vs NE.  How healthy would we have been if guys didn't have to play for 2 weeks?

    Woulda, coulda, shoulda...

     

    If we're analyzing that way--imagine if Bass was his old reliable self and didn't shank kicks. Or imagine if receivers didn't have so many drops  ...and the list goes on.

    Get the heck out of here with that crap, seriously just go away. The guy led the league in turnovers on continuous BONEHEAD plays.  People need to stop blaming everyone else but the guy literally giving the ball to the other team.

     

    Pittsburgh game = 0 interceptions.

    Chiefs game = 0 interceptions.

    Regular season = 18 interceptions over 17 games.

     

    Yeah, he had a bad day the first game of the season against the Jets with 3 interceptions. Don't let that bias your perception of the other games.

  10. The nostalgia for old Bills appears again. It's sway on the fan is powerful. It causes fans not to think critically. It has the kavorka.

     

    No one who has been HC twice is going to come back as a position coach--even as a favor.

     

    Besides, Josh is just fine. Strategy and play calling in the early season were the culprits of 6-6. McDermott andJoe Brady fixed that.

    First off, I’m a big Brandon Beane supporter, I went into watching his presser for the first time today thinking I’m excited to hear what Brandon Beane has to say about what his plan is and to get some truth on what he was disappointed with this year. I came away, thinking man he really took a defeatist attitude into next year, preparing fans for a year of the same or worse. I wanted to hear we have the best player on the planet quarterbacking our team so we’re gonna do everything in our power to get him what he needs so that we can win a Super Bowl next year because that is always the goal when Josh is our quarterback. I did not hear that. It wasn’t the Brandon Beane I normally appreciate. It was deflating and didn’t make me confident in him or McD for this offseason or next year. He doesn’t have to tell us his specific plan because he’s a good poker player but at least have that passion and that optimism to say we’re gonna win a Super Bowl sooner than later because we still have Josh Allen as our quarterback and my job as GM is going to be to give him everything he needs.

    ...

     

     

    Beane has stated he won't be seen on Main Street of free agency due to salary cap constraints.

     

    Accordingly, he's not going to make dramatic statements about surrounding Josh with new weapons.

     

    If Beane made a bold statement about getting new great things for Josh, he would be fibbing. That's not his style at all.

  12. I'm not a voracious reader. If forced to name a favorite author, I'd go with Tom Wolfe: Bonfire of the Vanities, The Right Stuff, and others.

     

    I also tend to like anything by P. J. O'Rourke: National Lampoon, and a bunch of other magazines and books.

    Tyler Dunne is spot on. Great article I don’t understand how at the very least we couldn’t have told Sean McDermott hey we’re going to explore other options at head coach in the next few weeks. We are not firing you unless we find someone we think will maximize Josh Allens talents and get us to a Super Bowl more than you can.

     

    It’s an off-season that has Hall of Fame coaches just sitting there for the taking. Why not at least check it out.  What’s the worst that happens if we do that? McD gets pissy and resigns. Well thank God for that. 

    Names?

    I win the PowerBall, grow 5 inches, get 20 years younger and my mansion has an endless supply of supermodels.

     

    Oh, we are talking about the Bills...

    5 inches... where?

    Super models are too skinny and high maintenance.

     

    Bill Belichick wants to be in charge of personnel. Until he gives up that requirement, he's out of coaching.
