Doc Brown

Defense spending decreased under Obama and then increased under Trump. He talked a good game but did nothing about it. I agree with Capco that the cost required to maintain being able to be the world's policeman post WWII is well worth it. The isolationists like Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders are just plain wrong imo.

That's a shame. Too lazy to insert gif.

No kidding. They knocked the Broncos out of a possible Wild Card spot where they had the tie breaker over us because counting to 11 is very difficult.

He did. LOL. He flew down there and took him to a Baton Rouge restaurant. Collins pry just wanted the free meal.

He had 4.5 sacks before that though with the Broncos that same season in seven games before getting traded and a 85.6 pff grade. Right now he has zero sacks and a 44.4 pff grade. There's nothing to suggest he's going to regain his old form and is a liability,

The glass was 25 cents John Wick.

I'd add Shanahan in there despite the recency bias of the Ravens loss. Those other five you mentioned had their quarterbacks from start to finish. Stefanski's went through four different starters at QB. I think that's an easy way for voters to differentiate him between all the other candidates.

We have a 6% chance of making the playoffs if we lose out.

You mean Flacco. I'm not sure if I'd give it to a guy who only played six games. Mayfield would be my choice if the Bucs make the playoffs.

If we lose our we don't deserve to make the playoffs. Having said that, I would totally accept a Super Bowl victory if that crazy scenario played out.

Flacco only six passing TD's away from catching MVP front runner Lamar (in 10 less games). Allen doesn't have that type of forceful personality. If he did Dorsey would still be here.

Let's just get there first. Flacco will eventually revert to the mean and the Bills can load the box against this team. Plus, they're the Browns.

Harbaugh got burned resting his starters in the season finale in 2019 after they clinched the one seed (ironically a win against the Steelers). They came out flat in the divisional round. I don't think he makes that mistake again.

Bold move threatening to remove Fox before the playoffs. Luckily, if we do make the playoffs it will be on any station but Fox. As an aside, switching from cable to YouTube TV was the best move I made.

Uniform selection has been excellent this year. Only had to deal with the smurf look and red nightmare once each. Did Joe Brady take over uniform selection from Dorsey as well?

Bills 31 Pats 10

Looks about right. About league average the first three years and then that pesky elite gunslinger came along.

You mean from 2020 on and I again appreciate the effort. I would be interested from 2017 to 2019 to see if it's significantly different than the last three and a half years. I remember the Bills being better early in McDermott's tenure but I could be wrong.

I appreciate the effort but way too small of a sample size. Now if you really feel ambitious start from McDermott's first year and see how the defense has performed the last five and a half seasons to gain anything meaningful.

Right. I forgot to add that as the main reason they wouldn’t consider Wilson as that’s not his strong suit.

No. They really like Kirk Cousins because he runs that system very well. He can't play out of structure like Wilson but they seem to be willing to live with that with Cousins.

Marvin Lewis never won a playoff game. That's a major difference. Tony Dungy with Peyton Manning is the more apt comparison. Dungy had mixed playoff success (3-4) and made the playoffs each year with Manning for the first four. It took him until his 5th year there to win the Super Bowl though and get past the Pats. We're in the middle of year four with Josh as an elite QB under McDermott where are playoff record is 4-3 since Josh became Josh.

The last three seasons have been absolute bonkers both on and off the field. I expect nothing less the rest of this season.

I am a grumpy old man but I never said any of that. Maybe edit the post so I don't sound like a lunatic.
