Flacco quit. What a way to go out.

What loser mentality with the cleveland clock management. 40 seconds and timeout and you quit? I think they're gonna get blown out now.

Stroud is maybe the best looking rookie QB I've ever seen. Dude is sick. I definitely did not expect this from him.

The same reason people watch the NFL? Enjoyment.

If your goal is to pin an opponent within the 20, he's in company with the all-time greats over the course of a career as I detailed in the Martin complaining thread a few weeks back. If you want distance, you could do better, but for a team like the Bills, I'd argue the former is more important.

Because we already have a great Punter who just won Special Teams player of the month. Oh yea, and he's a pervert.

100% Cool. What are his NFL stats?

What harm could it do bringing literally any other NFL quality punter into training camp? It's like people actively want the guy for reasons that have nothing to do with his ability.

As much as I'm relieved that the days of Belichick owning us are over, it's kind of a sad. He was the greatest coach I ever saw in any sport, and I don't think I'll see his like again. It was easy to hate him as a rival, but we would have loved to have him here.

We split the wine two ways but we each get our own bottle of whiskey.

A nightly bottle of wine at dinner and an after dinner whiskey for dessert is a pretty standard experience around here. I've never thought of it as a dependency thing and isn't really about getting intoxicated - more about just making every meal and evening as nice as possible - though I have considered at times that it may be habit forming even if no one is getting sloppy. After a good 10 years of it being the norm, I don't find I need a drink when it's not there, but it all makes you wonder, especially when you come from families that have problems.

If Araiza was any good at all, he'd at least be on an NFL practice squad. The infatuation with a dude that never kicked a ball in the NFL is insane.

Weird. All I hear around here is that he's terrible and should be cut.

How many of those 84, 73, 61, 57, 81,73 were top 2 corners? I'm guessing not most. While you're presenting rankings against peers that may have played a handful of snaps all year, I posted objective emasurements that show him as not only being best in class in this year's NFL talent, but also in several cases having an historic season for a CB. Him having 3 modest->poor showings throughout the year (against high end->elite competition, btw) actually goes to prove how incredible his season was. You take away those three games, and he allowed 255 yards across 14 games as the number 1 corner. That's 18 yards a game. It's completely insane how good that is. Try again.

We don't really know how the money is working out. He could have resigned his coaching position, forfeiting his coaching compensation and then signed up for executive compensation. Lots of coaches have stepped into executive roles following their coaching careers.

I noticed the same thing. The holding call makes sense. Either it was a *****up on the coaching staff not knowing that when they accepted or they figured the yardage helped more somehow.

That's not the way that works. You can be qualified for your current role and not your boss' role. Otherwise none of us would be subordinates. The guys you mentioned are not "usual suspects" they're legitimate. I understand you're trying to push a dodgy political narrative, but if you want to do that, you probably want better examples, like when teams give HC interviews to low level assistants. I hate teaching people to be better bad-faith actors, but it gets embarrassing after a while.

Can you back that up with anything? Sure didn't look like it when I watched him. He's got a 90.4 PFF grade He's allowing a passer rating of 60.8 to opposing QBs He leads the NFL in interceptions He set the season record for pick-6es in a season He set the record for INT return yards in a season He's tied for 7th in passes defensed He's allowed only 661 yards in receptions - 38.8 yards a game (One yard more than Surtain) edit: Oh yea, he also had 8 games this season where he allowed less than 10 yards receiving, including 3 games where he allowed 0 or less yards. I have high expectations for your counter arguments. Super excited.

Why are you laughing at Bland - dude should have a legitimate shot at DPOY. Best CB in football this year

Good teams don't cry about flags they didn't get. It was a bad decision to throw that ball because the end result was very likely to happen and it did. He could have tackled him lower and it would have been the same thing.

Using both of these coaches, who actually were both head coaches and whose most recent title was Assistant Head Coach are terrible examples to try to bash the Rooney Rule. if you want a token interviewee, Ray Horton would have been a better choice, but then again he was qualified too.

He's one of the best guards in the league and we drafted him.

It would be hard to have a drastically worse hire for a team with Super Bowl aspirations than Leslie Frazier. You know with absolute certainty that the guy won't get you there. For a disaster organization just looking to get respectable? Maybe.

Hard to argue with any of that.

Of course I did. I've missed one game since 1990. Why would it get under my skin? He's one of my favorite players on my favorite team. I'm rooting for the guy to be his best self every play of every game. Just because he disappoints me, doesn't mean I don't like him.
