Yes, but the league is highly competitive right now in favor of the teams who have recently made it. In order for us to make it, they'll likely have to beat out a very good team.

Why should they be? The whole thing is basically just a societal norm/tradition with little modern applicability if you don't believe in it. It's not like there's a tax benefit for them. My GF and I have been together for 12 years.

He's done both. Why are you going out of your way to stan for scumbags over and over? You did the same thing in the Araiza thread too.

Again, not sure why this is relevant to anything. He has a history of violence against strangers, men and women alike. What point are you trying to make by insisting that they weren't romantic/domestic disputes?

I'm not sure the distinction between domestic violence and violence is that significant. At the time he was released from the chiefs, he had 3 incidents of violence in a short span.

Why is that relevant to anything?

I love it. The snow and Christmas lights are an excellent touch.

The Jets are paper tigers. I'd rather face them in the playoffs than NE.

Confidence to arrogance is a fine line. There really isn't very much at all that separates the 4th best team in the league from the 4th worst and among the best, there's even less. Yea, we've run roughshod over a bunch of teams in September and October, great. We've been doing that for 3 years. I'm at the point where even though I enjoy the journey I know none of these games matter. My only hope is that they get out of it healthy. We already know they're going to the playoffs. The whole season is based on what this team does in January and February. The rest is meaningless in the grand scheme. Unfortunately, this team has made several unforced errors when all the chips were down, and 45% of the time, the #1 seed doesn't win the Super Bowl. The saying "any given sunday" is very, very real. Ask the 2011 Giants. I think a healthy amount of skepticism is warranted.

That would be huge. He's exactly what we need, but I don't see the raiders selling. McDaniels has pressure to right that ship.

3 times - all in one year. You don't remember? Edit: and for the record, I'm not necessarily opposed to bringing him in, (though he's a lot less of a talent than CMC at this point in his career) I just very much understand the issue with it.

It was exactly like that back then. I'd say more so, just because it was the only thing to do besides bowling.

Teddy: Goes to a Wendy's and complains about the detail of the customer service.

Would you let him date your daughter/niece/close friend without bringing up his past? No one's saying that the guy needs to not exist anymore (or at least they shouldn't), but whether or not he should play football for your team and represent your city is a higher bar than the justice system. And I'm a person that thinks we need a lot less prisons and people in them.

Every talking head has had us penciled is as a champion since last January, so I'd say that we're definitely more highly regarded. If other teams don't fear us the way we've been dismantling the league, they're foolish.

I don't think societally football is as impactful as it was 30 years ago. there are so many more draws for people's attention now that even winning the Super Bowl doesn't carry the weight it did back then. It used to be that nothing was bigger than winning a Super Bowl and people would talk about it for months or years. Now, April rolls around and it's on to the next year. I still would very much like the Bills to win one, but I don't think it'll feel remotely close to the way it did in the mid 2000s and prior.

there's no reason to rush it. If I were McD I'd just have him be our reserve inactive until December. Get a couple of weeks of practice in the cold and then off to the playoffs

What a weird career Quinn has had. this is the 3rd time he's been traded - twice for a 4th and once for a 6th. He's also looked to be washed up multiple times and years apart and then puts out monster performances.

I was really looking forward to seeing: "How do you ensure you're constantly around the football without ever being in danger of making an impact play?"

Get some Sahlen's and/or Wardynski's hot dogs from the carts around the lots. You can't come to buffalo without having a hot dog. No other dog in the country compares.

Living in Austin, i was surprised he didn't go a little higher during the draft. I wouldn't be surprised if he found some Gardner Minshew esque lightning in a bottle this year. He's looked exciting at times in pre-season.

It hasn't been good so far, and part of that is the traditionally good teams looking poor. In second half look out for the Titans, Vikings, Niners, and Raiders to outperform. The Browns are a darkhorse as well. 1994 was a terrible year for football. I remember 95 being bad too.

are josh and pat not also doing #1?

Is this a question?

Brady was AT WORST, the 2nd best QB in football last year at age 44.
