Sorry, but the Dems haven’t shown they have ideas that can win a general election. As for your “ favorite” , I don’t believe you’ll see an openly gay man win the White House any time soon. Right now, unless some other candidate emerges it looks to me as though a second Trump term is about 80% likely.

This is a ridiculous thread, as Kaep is “ allowed “ to play in the NFL, but no one wants to have him on their team. Its somewhat about his football skills, but largely because he’s bad for business. He’s a lightning rod for media distractions and is highly offensive to a ( probably sizable) portion of the fan base. It’s not collusion, just a bunch of business owners in the entertainment business making a sound business decision. Nobody believes he’s a difference maker in the win column, so it’s not worth the hassle. That’s it. No laws broken, Kaep has just made himself a pariah with his antics. If Kaep was in a different segment of entertainment , say rap music, he’d be a hero and in demand. This seems totally obvious by now. Business don’t want to offend their customers or create controversy. When sponsors drop clients due to controversy ( Tiger Woods, Fuzzy Zoeller, Antonio Brown et al) are they “ blackballing” or making a business decision ? If NFL players that have other sorts of issues still have NFL jobs, it’s because the customer base (and therefore the owners ) don’t care that much about it.

I’m aware of his given name and that Duke is a nickname. The point still stands, the name lends itself to putting “ the” in front of it. Had zero to do with Elvis or John Wayne.

Lol..well no, it’s not like that. It’s a play on words because a “ Duke” is a noble man ranked just below a Prince. Kind if like if ones name was Chief , or King, Prez etc etc. Putting a “ the” in front of the names you mention just looks silly. You really can’t see the difference ?

It appears the “ definition” has been expanded since what was generally accepted amongst football analysts/ fans etc in the 80’s and 90’s. At that time, it was understood to be a non-division or out of conference opponent. Probably because there isn’t a ton of statistical evidence to support it, it’s now being said that just a losing record qualifies as a “ trap”. All in good fun, whether you subscribe to the theory of a trap game or not.

Yes, definitely not a quasi- win. There was still some game left to go and it certainly could have broken either way. Seemed too close to call right up to Allen’s injury, but definitely not like a mop-up for the backup to just hold on. There was still work to be done ; the Bills defense was strong that day. When Peterman came in, it felt over.

Okay, maybe I shouldn’t have said well on their way, but more like right there with. The feel of the game was one that the Bills could definitely win ( they were all over Watson that day, and I’m a big fan) until the Peterman came in. I absolutely contend that this season the home team would be a slight favorite if the teams were to play.

If you subscribe to the theory of “ trap games” or if you don’t ( pretty sure it’s been debunked statistically) , the Bills matchup vs the Dolphins this week doesn’t fit the classic definition. A trap game is vs a non division opponent - probably with a lesser record- sandwiched between two division games or after consecutive division games. For those who do think that trap games are a thing, the Bills opponent the following week ( Eagles) will be coming off a division game vs Dallas and in the midst of a 3 game NFC run. Sounds like it might be a trap game for the Eagles if you’re a believer.

Fans can be overconfident all they want. I doubt the Bills players will be.

Still not bad, can’t recall Bills track record with that duo.Superstitious, I know... Exactly. Normally, most would agree that a HC ( and absolutely players) would not tank. It definitely is higher up in the organization. However, that 2 point try was so hilariously bad it makes you wonder if Flores has been given a total pass for a couple years. HC $$ is a huge pay raise, and lots of these guys get NFL assistant jobs when their HC stint comes to its ( usually early) end. It was bad enough to stir up the conspiracy theories.

WC for the Bills with the second best record in the AFC would absolutely not suck. Sounds like a damn good season to me and a chance to make serious noise in the playoffs.

Not surprised. I saw the fumble in that London game and figured he’d be toast. Some guys fumble their way out of the NFL ; it’s always been a quick ticket to the waiver wire.

Not bad. Archuleta is informative without being overbearing. I think the Bills have a decent record in games called by Spero over the years.

Well they’ve already stared down mono, but they haven’t faced the clap...yet!

Yeah I remember that one.... Lee Evans drops game winner in the end zone

Just seeing LaFleurs locker room rah rah postgame was cringey... “ don’t know how we pulled this off being minus three” Well yes, you do know and so does everyone who watched. Maybe say great job men and that’s about it

Off topic for sure but if you didn’t see that idiot Steve Kerr’s comments and false equivalencies you should check it out. What a knucklehead.

If by simple you mean “ go with what you actually see, not by what a player’s reaction means might have happened” then yes. Other than that , not simple. Not sure why the PI wasn’t called.

“State TV”

Shouldn’t have had the chance to win it though...

I can’t argue with this.

Booger really going after it...

Very New England like by Green Bay.... major sell jobs draw flags from biased refs

Come on ! Anyone remember Bruce Smith getting called for the “ facemask” in the AFC championship vs Bengals

Wow you move your head back and it gets a flag now !!!
