Them, but also the Trump supporters and those that become enraged at anyone in the public eye who dares to take a position against the party line, left or right.

An aside: Who do you think is a good singer?

I have gone from depressed with the pick to a very pleased and hopeful supporter. But I don't know that JA has as yet proved the critics wrong. I think we'll have a pretty clear picture by early December. In any case, he's not at all the disaster I feared he'd be. Just the opposite.

And they certainly could win at least one of the "should lose" games.

Jerry Hughes gives Brady a mean look, Tom breaks out inntears, Hughes is ejected for Unnecessary Cruelty.

Out of 40 million people, something like a 100 thousand are chronically homeless, and many of them are mentally ill and/or addicted. What's the per capita in Indiana?

Would be weird if his next signing is with the Steelers.

FTR, I have heard commentators on multiple shows make exactly that point.

So now we like PFF?

Why all this psychologizing? His problem is he lacks fundamental, in the bone football instincts. He's just not that good.

Happy B-Day. Happy B-Day.

Thanks for your thoughts. Gameday isn't over til I read your post.

And what a fine movie it is.

Love it.

Don't forget your Squirt bottle caps.

These days, the under-300 yd. game is much, much more common than the over-300. As fans, we like the high-flying offense but the success of NE shows that the gunslinger approach probably isn't the best path for long-term dominance.

There is that. When you look at it, the AFC has had a pretty poor run of QBs the last 20 years.

Brees is in the NFC.

He was honoring Queen Elizabeth.

Mike Francesa a douche? I am shocked to learn about this.

If this is true, that's all I need to know about his football IQ.

Superb play. Gimme more of this.

Schein is that rarity among national commentators, a pro who actually seems to deeply know every team, which is why I respect his analysis. As far as the Bills go, he's becoming this generation's Chris Berman. Kelly should start bringing him in for the golf tournament. Brian Baldinger is another who does his homework. Not surprisingly, he's been strong on the Bills future. Most of the ex-execs and ex-players who infest the sports shows seem to just follow the "everybody knows" narrative, mail it in and pick up a check.

Go back thru all the Super Bowls and I think you'll find that the by-the-book, system-type classic QB, with but a couple of outlier exceptions, wins. The more exciting pull-it-out-of-your butt "gunslinger" QBs get the fan mania but tend not to get the brass ring. Two of that type - Tarkenton and Kelly -- alone count for 8 losses and no SB wins. Compare Stabler & LaMonica with Bradshaw in the 70s, or think of Favre, the ultimate gunslinger who, for all the raves, managed one SB win in an era that overlapped with the dull Troy Aikman and the highly "system" QB John Elway. What's winning me over with Josh Allen is his growing competence as a system QB who retains some fine gunslinger ability. That just might be the secret sauce for major success.

It was the first real game this line has played together, with a center who hadn't really played with them at all, and they looked like a solid, middle-of-the-pack NFL unit. In their first game! I fully expect them to be a dominant unit before much longer.
