Damn, I was hopeful the Bills could land him. The more reading I did on KA, the more I liked him. Oh well. There’s still some good candidates out there. Sucks losing out on 2 coaches to Bruce Arians today. But there’s no shame in that. He’s a very good and well respected long time NFL coach. And hey, at least it speaks highly of McDermott’s (interview) choices to fill his coaching staff vacancies.

I think the NYJ priority was to bring in someone they felt would help develop Darnold. Before he went to Miami, Gase had an excellent rep as a guy you wanted working with your QB. Sometimes you do do better with your 2nd chance. Time will tell if he does. I really thought Mike McCarthy would end up in NY though. I thought they’d go with a more experienced veteran HC. Really, the guy I thought they should have went after is Dabo Swinney. IMO they need a guy that can come in and truly build a better culture in that building and I think that’s something Swinney excels at. Gase talks about bout building a culture a lot, but wasn’t able to accomplish it in Miami. Not really sure where the fault lies with that. Miami seems like a mess from ownership on down. The Jets seem somewhat similar in that regard, though think it has definitely been better with Chris Johnson than it was with Woody...

My grandfather beat stage 4 lung cancer in the early ‘70’s. Back then cancer treatments were nowhere near as good as they are today. They had to remove 1 entire lung and gave him about 2yrs to live afterwards. He ended up living for 25+ years. My great grandma had breast cancer (again, way back in the day). She had to have a breast removed and wasn’t given too long (again, back then rates of survival were much lower) but ended up living into her 90’s. More recently my cousin’s wife had cervical cancer. I want to say it was a later stage 3. She just had her 10yr check up and is still cancer free. About that same time my best friend’s dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in both lungs. He was also given a low survival rate. Had to have the top 1/2of both lungs removed and is still currently cancer free. He gets winded easy but other than that he’s doing well. Another friend’s dad just recently (within the last couple years) finished treatment for some type of cancer in his neck. He is cancer free and doing great. My boss recently has to have some cancerous growths removed and is doing well. Another good old friend of mine has had cancer 2-3 separate times now. I can’t remember exactly what the first type was. He was only in his early 20’s the first time, so it was a while ago. Most recently he had stomach cancer. I believe he just finished his treatments within the last month or two and is doing well. I know a few more friends and family member that have dealt with some type of cancer and made full recoveries. All the best to you! You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am planning to attend as of now. I went to the last one (in ‘99) and it was an absolute blast. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Oh man, the stories I could tell... I figured there wouldn’t be another one for a long time because of the riots/looting/fires (etc), but always said if they did have another one I’d go for sure. One nice thing about going this time - I may actually be able to remember the entire weekend... you know, being 20yrs older and all. The partying definitely won’t be at 1999 levels that’s for sure. I don’t know if I’d survive another ‘99 style Woodstock weekend. lol

I’ll be very interested to see what type of staff he is able to assemble. I don’t know how extensive his network of contacts is at the NFL level. More often than not, NFL head coaches have had some type of experience at the NFL level before being hired as a HC, and therefore have usually developed some type of network of contacts at the NFL level. I wonder if Kingsbury might have to rely more on trying to pull his assistants from the college coaching ranks (but even there, he’s only worked for a couple teams - Houston, Texas Tech and USC for like 2 seconds).

Thank you. Question - I’ve read some places that say you should do a totally clean install when switching to a totally new version (like from Jarvis to Krypton/Leia). Do I need to do that? And how do I do that? I should probably update to Leia right? I bought mine this way so I’m not exactly familiar with how to do this stuff. Can I do it right on the fire stick? I have never had it hooked up to a computer and don’t even know how. Also, will updating Kodi automatically update my add-ones etc? Or do I have to update them 1 by 1? And if so, how do I do that? I’m just scared to screw it up (not that it matters I guess, since it isn’t working anyway). Sorry for all the questions. Don’t worry about it if you don’t have the time to answer.

No. They are always 100% free on reddit. You don’t have to enter any info at all. Just find the link to the game you want to watch and click on it. Thr only thing you may have to do is close a tricky pop-up ad or two (they tend to have more than 1 ‘X’ to close them) before you are able to start watching.

Yeah I remember reading reports back then saying that a bunch of his ex teammates were calling him + the Bills, asking what they could do to get Reich the job.

Yeah that was a beauty by Mitts. He has some great hands. He did a good job following through on his rebound. As pretty as that goal was, I think my favorite part was seeing Dahlin’s reaction/celebration. He was just so genuinely happy for his roomie. I love to see these young guys, that are the future of our team, forming such tight bonds.

Love the entire team effort so far tonight, and the battle/compete level form everyone. They’ve been pretty relentless on their forecheck and in puck battles. Love that hat we are seeing some secondary scoring, too. And as im typing they score #5! Woo! I love it when buffalo has games like this where the whole team is just firing on all cylinders and guys are playing with confidence/swagger. Its so fun to watch.

The Office (heard they considered it) and somehow get Steve Carell to play the Michael Scott role again (I know it won’t happen, but it would be amazing).

Im not nearly as good at this as 26CB, but I’m trying to fill the void.... (btw, where is he at?)

I totally totally agree that good kickers + ST personnel makes the biggest difference. But I also think that coaching and scheme matter, too. Some guys seem to get more out of less, and others seem to need a top tier unit to produce results. Crossman seems like the latter. Crossman had a few good ST units, but he’s had more bottom ranked units than top ranked ones. He’s had a bottom 10 ranked ST unit in 7 out of his 12yrs as a ST coordinator. Hard not to look at Armstrong as an upgrade, IMO. Crossman ST rankings: Carolina: 2007 - #30 2008 - #10 (#16 weighted) 2009 - #29 Detroit: 2010- #11 (#15 weighted) 2011- #29 2012- #30 Bills: 2013- #30 2014- #4 (#7 weighted) 2015- #12 2016- #22 2017- #10 (#12 weighted) 2018- #32

I don’t follow Atlanta that closely. But I wonder if it has more to do with his personnel than anything? It looks like he is very capable of coaching a good special teams unit by all of the top 10 rankings.

Yes. https://www.ajc.com/sports/football/falcons-fired-all-three-coordinators/NGpXCoMt50VphCRWyfQy8M/ Thanks!

Thought you meant the actual official Steelers twitter page for a minute... lol

He was there for 10 years Looks like Atlanta has the #10 ranked ST unit this season. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamst2014 Atlanta: 2018 - #10 2017 - #19 2016 - #7 2015 - #22 2014 - #9 2013 - #17 2012 - #16 2011 - #22 2010 - #3 2009 - #22 2008 - #7 Miami: 2007 - #22 2006 - #21 2005 - #4 2004 - #4 2003 - #8 2002 - #10 2001 - #2 Chicago: 2000 - #21 1999 - #25 1998 - #7 1997 - #29 BTW - This is the only site I know of off hand to look up special teams rankings. Anyone have any links to any others?

https://operations.nfl.com/football-ops/league-governance/2018-19-important-nfl-dates/ trade window Dow does not open again until March 13th at 4pm. I cant imagine that he would be notified of a trade more than 2 months before it can be approved by the league. And I can’t imagine that there is any type of trade agreement in place between any teams right now. There is still sooo much time between now and March 13th. Why would any team (verbally) commit to any deal now?

What’s with all the brand new members making their first post in this thread? There’s 2 so far on the first page. And they both joined this forum within the last 10 minutes.

I’m glad the Bills don’t need a coach this hiring cycle...

Good stuff. Thanks for taking the time to post this. It’s appreciated.

My fire stick stopped working. Ive tried adding on new programs to find movies/shows/sports etc. but no luck. It always says that it’s “unable to find any streams”. Anyone have any ideas? I read that it could be my ISP blocking me from using it? and that I need a VPN if that’s the case. Also, I haven’t updated Kodi since I got it. It’s still running Jarvis 16.1. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it? I never updated to Krypton because I read people were getting cease and desist letters in the mail after updating. Don’t know if that’s true or not but I decided not to update just in case. It worked fine for a long time running Jarvis (after Krypton came out), so I’m not really sure that’s the problem...
