Doc Brown

The Jets will finish last in the division.

He got a concussion running the ball on a 3rd and long in 2019 against the Patriots trying to get the first down. He got a turf toe injury on a scramble against the Bucs in 2021 when he had an opportunity to slide after getting the first down. When you run that much you're playing with fire and he just hasn't been burned too severely yet.

To be fair, Cam Newton only missed two starts his first five seasons. They have a similar playing style so maybe he is a cautionary tale. However, the reality is the Bills don't really have a choice. They have to let Josh be Josh and hope he doesn't suffer the same fate as Newton. The best they can do is build up the o-line, find WR's that can separate quickly, find effective short yardage running backs, and keep hammering into Josh's head to not put his body on the line unless it's absolutely necessary.

Not really surprising as in simple terms with a football example.... Republicans want to conserve the country they have (proud of the job McDermott has done and he should stay the course) while Democrats want to make changes to improve it (McDermott needs to improve in the playoffs to win the Super Bowl or he should be fired). Independents don't feel represented and are conflicted (Pegula should only fire McDermott if there's a proven viable replacement). It will ebb and flow with the societal conditions at the time (we are wasting Allen in his prime).

ACT is way too low for those schools you mentioned. A 30 or below is an uphill battle.

I'd agree with this from 2020 on. However, I don't think we make the playoffs in 2017 or 2019 with "any coach" like Jauron or Rex. The defense that McDermott helped build and the culture he helped create helped them perform above expectations in those years. I also don't think we get close to 13 wins last season with "any coach" given the influx of injuries to our best players on defense and all the other crazy stuff that happened from May through January. There were a lot of tricky waters to navigate through and I thought he did a great job. Up to this point he's proven he's a very good regular season coach. Now he has to prove it in the playoffs and the pressure only intensifies when you have a QB like Allen. Another blunder like 13 seconds or another instance of being thoroughly out coached like he was in the Bengals game and I'd think of moving on if I was Pegula. You'd have to have a strong conviction that there's someone else out there that would be an upgrade though. I really just don't see that happening though but I'm a cautious optimist. I think Diggs can be a great leader and it's why he was voted captain. People aren't perfect though and Diggs still has some growing up to do. I was very stupid even at 29. Still stupid now but definitely back then.

Dorsey gets too much flack and Daboll too much credit imo. A lot of Josh's fumbles were usually the result of the offensive line getting beat combined with him looking for the big play. Dorsey's play design had guys open underneath on most of those fumbles. I put it more on the o-line and Josh. Also, five of his fumbles were botched snaps which are the most easy to correct.

It's worse because it has a more direct economic impact of those effected. It doesn't make Trump correct in lying about Mexico paying for the wall and then circumventing congress to redirect Pentagon funds to pay for portions of the wall.

Introduce bills like this that start to address the root cause of the problem. https://thehill.com/homenews/education/4049576-senate-republicans-introduce-plan-to-tackle-student-loan-debt/ The first two bills in the package specifically deal with how colleges give students information before they decide to attend. The “College Transparency Act (CTA)” would reform the college data reporting system so students have better information about outcomes at schools before committing to a university. The “Understanding the True Cost of College Act” will require schools to have a similar style for their financial aid letters with a breakdown of the aid so students can better compare offers. The last three bills deal directly with student loans, including how information is given to borrowers and limiting some borrowing. The “Informed Student Borrower Act” requires students to be more informed when applying for a loan by acknowledging they received student loan entrance materials or they participated in entrance counseling. The students would receive materials that show how long it would take to pay off their loans, how much the monthly payments would be and what they will likely make going to a certain school and program. The students would receive this information yearly. The fourth bill addresses the nine different student loan repayment options the Department of Education offers. These options, with eligibility based on income and loan type, gave borrowers different timeline options for paying off their loans and the amount they would owe each month. The bill cuts those repayment options down to two to simplify the process. The standard 10-year repayment plan for borrowers would remain and the REPAYE program would stay, with some changes. The REPAYE program gives loan forgiveness earlier to low-income individuals who have low balances on their loans. I'm not talking about taking out a college loan. I'm talking about spending money they were planning on saving to pay off their loans they assumed would be forgiven.

Alf. I'd had more sympathy if this wasn't known before they signed on the dotted line. Not a fan of Biden telling people that he's going to forgive their student loan debt knowing that it didn't have the constitutional mustard to go through. People made personal financial decisions counting on that debt being forgiven.

You were and I agree the Chiefs win that divisional game 8 out of 10 times without Josh playing out of his mind like he did. I think last year's regular season game where Josh didn't play out of his mind and we still won showed just how important Von is. It's why Beane signed him and if we don't get that pass rush difference maker in the playoffs then we don't have a chance.

Last year's regular season game vs. them was basically a coin flip but the reason we'd win 5 out of 10 times was the addition of Von Miller. He had two sacks that forced punts and his pressure on a three man rush is what led to the game winning pick. Keeping him healthy next year is vital.

How many Americans actually follow politics though? I would venture a majority believe the whataboutism between debt forgiveness and PPP loans despite the latter being constitutional.

That's what I meant. It's manipulative but there's a lot of young people who will fall for it. It's plain cruel to people and families who were counting on it.

Knew this would happen and now will try something else illegal to rally support for 2024. Even though there's no way of implementing it even if elected.

Why? He's one reason for all the layoffs.

They're allowed to do that right now outside team facilities. My concern is a player could become addicted and would turn to the NFL (where they can actually influence their bets) in order to make up for the money they will inevitably lose betting other sports. I just don't understand why they make all sports betting illegal if you're employed by the NFL or an NFL team in any capacity. If you want to gamble, don't work for the NFL. It makes it very simple for NFL players to understand.

Are you a Joe Ferguson fan?

I understand that and I'd have no problem with Diggs missing voluntary OTA's because he's an established veteran who's work ethic has never been questioned. However, whatever problem he had Allen/Dorsey/McDermott, he knew they were all going to be there at voluntary OTA's and it would've been a great time to resolve them in mid April instead of waiting to show up when you have to in mid June. Seems like a logical move if he really wanted to win so much more than everyone else like first and ten is suggesting.

Reserved personality, not aggressive enough, and tied to the Rex Ryan regime.

Come on man. You made the claim that Allen wasn't as focused and committed as he was before and Diggs was calling him out on that. Allen showing up at voluntary OTA's and Diggs not showing up kind of throws a wrench in your theory.

I'd pry go with solid team construction, elite quarterback play, excellent coaching, and a lot of luck with injuries. As for the question, the Bills losing four straight Super Bowls is not bad because that means you won four straight AFC Conference championships. To me that's more impressive than winning one Super Bowl.

It was in the heat of the moment. I expect better.

They should now with the suspensions and you and I are on the same page that they shouldn't be allowed to gamble at all while employed by an NFL team. Gambling is way less taboo than when Pete Rose was banned so I think a ban from the game permanently is a little harsh. Three years seems like an effective deterrent.

Correct but I feel like blaming McDermott is like blaming me for complaining my wife's mashed potatoes weren't quite up to her usual standards. She's the one that messed up the recipe even though I may have esculated the situation by pointing out that instant mashed potatoes were better than this bullcrap.
