  1. No I'm not. I wasn't clear, we all rub it in every chance we get. They're just not awful people.
  2. I have a hard time agreeing that OBJ's talent is overrated. I think OP's premise applies to OBJ.
  3. @BringBackFergy posted his prediction mid-March. Did you post your concurrence back then? I may have missed it, but didn't see it. If not, weak call out on your part.
  4. Same. I do have close friends and relatives who are Jets fans that I have the utmost respect/love for. Regardless, I revel in their misery. Does that make me a bad?
  5. As a public service I'm bumping this thread. Tomorrow would be a good day to tune in to Evan & Joe (10 AM - 1 PM). I am planning my lunch hour around it. https://wfan.radio.com/
  6. I get your point, but that could be said of just about any NFL game, maybe all. A lot of folks fail to recognize that there's a lot of truth behind 'on any given Sunday'
  7. Strange that OP went with must in the thread title and then want in the ask. Your preference (want) is as good as your must (Just Win baby) IMO. Go Bills!
  8. Must do? Whatever it takes to win. In the context of a single game that's all that ever matters. In the context of his career, a strong downfield passing performance - as part of a win. Josh needs to show me that he can do that regularly. So maybe 299 yards in the air - just enough to keep the stat freaks panties in a bunch.
  9. When I saw the thread title, thoughts went to Malarchuk Haven't seen what happened, don't really want to. Prayers.
  10. I thought it would be interesting to extend this to rushing yards. I didn't bother with points scored - because the easiest way I found to get the wins/losses didn't include it. I'm not sure why you got 55% for 300+ whereas I got around 54%, but close enough. Also, there are only 256 games in a regular season so I'm not sure where you came up with 2370 games over 4 1/2 years. My total games (without ties) came to 1141. I also used more granular intervals to see if there were trends: 25 for rushing and 40 for passing. It appears to me that there's a more direct correlation between rushing yards and winning than passing yards and winning. Whether this is cause or effect is either debatable or beyond my ability to determine through stats. Anyway, what jumps out for me is that the winning percentage for passing yards plateaus and even at the 240-280 range for passing yards the percentage is favorable. So far this year the Bills average 215 passing yards and 130 rushing yards per game which puts them at 51% and 66% on the passing and rushing chart below respectively. They're actual winning percentage is 71%. Here's the data I pulled using the same site: Rushing Yds W L Win % Passing Yds W L Win % >275 10 0 100% >440 10 10 50% 250-275 19 2 90% 400-440 17 14 55% 225-250 30 6 83% 360-400 43 40 52% 200-225 45 10 82% 320-360 106 89 54% 175-200 92 31 75% 280-320 178 153 54% 150-175 153 64 71% 240-280 223 191 54% 125-150 203 104 66% 200-240 230 225 51% 100-125 239 211 53% 160-200 190 209 48% 75-100 208 280 43% 120-160 98 129 43% 50-75 107 272 28% 80-120 40 54 43% 25-50 32 141 18% 40-80 6 24 20% 0-25 3 20 13% 0-40 0 3 0%
  11. Agreed on everything. Besides bench coach it will also be interesting to see who else he brings in to coach. We all had a good laugh when Phil Regan took over as pitching coach, but that turned out pretty well.
  12. Well - The house is a rockin' don't bother knockin'
  13. Well at least he swung the bat that time.
  14. Bolded where I agree, strikethrough where I don't
  15. I'll be thrilled if/when the Bills are one hit wonders.
  16. What an ugly goal. The expression "Throw enough sh!t against the wall and somethings bound to stick" applies. And I'm an Islanders fan.
  17. If it happens, it's an odd choice only because I can't think of a fired manager who came back to the same team as a bench coach. I had no particular love or hate for Collins as a manager, but he's an old-timer who has managed in the NL and that's pretty much my criteria to be a bench coach so I'd be OK with it.
  18. Wow. I was drawn to this place for all the reasons Nextmanup says don't exist.
  19. Can't help with the fajitas that's wifeys responsibility, but since you're doing Mexican (and assuming adult beverages will be served) get the Margaritas right. Our three go-to recipes: Classic (a lot of lime juice, kind of a pain) 8 oz. Tequila 4 oz. Triple Sec 2 oz. Sweet & Sour Mix 4 oz. Fresh Lime Juice 8 oz. Club Soda Pineapple Margarita 8 oz. Tequila 4 oz. Pineapple Juice 1 oz. Triple Sec 1/2 oz. Fresh Lime Juice 1 oz. Club Soda Pomegranate Margarita (we made these tonight, yum): 8 oz. Tequila 4 oz. Triple Sec 3 oz. Pomegranate Juice 3 oz. Fresh Lime Juice 8 oz. Club Soda
  20. Terry Collins as bench coach? https://www.sny.tv/mets/news/latest-on-mets-manager-search-carlos-beltran-has-told-team-ideal-bench-coach-would-be-terry-collins/311033254
  21. He better bring in a veteran bench coach. As far as I know he's never managed a game at any level.
  22. According to the NY Post it's Beltran: https://nypost.com/2019/11/01/mets-make-carlos-beltran-their-new-manager/
  23. Sabbath bloody Sabbath Nothing more to do Living just for dying Dying just for you
  24. The self-driving car is a good idea: gets me where I need to be safely and with minimal effort. Yeah I know, it's already in the development/testing phase, but how about extending the concept. The self-drinking beer. Same benefit as the self-driving car.
