  1. Who cares if McDermott and Daboll aren't besties? It has absolutely no bearing on the Bills play going forward. My guess is that neither coach was particularly happy at the end that game for reasons that had absolutely nothing to do with the coaches' personal feelings toward each other.
  2. I think it's ironic that the ditzy blonde of "Three's Company" was a really sharp businesswoman. RIP.
  3. In previous years, they might very well have hung a 40 burger on the hapless Broncos.
  4. According to the NFLN Insiders, since teams could choose to have a bye or play a game after returning from Europe, the teams that played the week after coming back from Europe have won 9 out of 13 games.
  5. The Niners lost to the Chiefs in 2020, 31-20. That's the last time they went to the Super Bowl, and most of their offensive weapons have been added since then. More to the point, the Niners not only have lots of offensive weapons, they also have a seriously good defense with guys like Bosa and Warner. The Carp haven't been to the Super Bowl since 1985. The Chiefs and Eagles have been to the Super Bowl 5 times in the last 6 Super Bowls. KC sacrificed some offensive firepower in order to bulk up their OL and defense after getting smacked by Tampa Bay in 2021. Philadelphia has always had great offensive and defensive lines, and that's been the key to their success for more than a decade. The Bills have been trying to model themselves like KC and Philly: investing cap space and draft capital in the defense and this past year, the offensive line. I think it was the rebellion of the bottom feeders. The two undefeated teams lost to teams playing back-up QBs! The Chiefs and Bills struggled against teams that shouldn't have had a prayer to win. Finally, the Seahawks had looked a whole lot better than the Bengals this season. The Carp look good beating up on bottom feeders, but the Bills smacked them around. They may not look so good against the Eagles.
  6. Harbaugh brought the Ravens to London early (Tuesday I think) specifically because the Ravens lost so badly the last time they played in London. I think we'll see more teams start coming earlier in the future. Actually, London had a lot to do with how poorly the Bills played last night IMO. Both Knox and Kincaid were "questionable" for the entire week because of injuries they suffered in the London game because the Bills have morphed from a team that seldom used 2 TE sets to one that goes primarily with 2 TEs. Knox was able to play, but Kincaid is still in concussion protocol, which limited how effective the Bills could be in 2 TE sets since their #3 TE is Quinton Morris who has caught all of 10 passes in his 2 year NFL career. Now, Morris did catch the game winning TD, but Morris isn't Kincaid, and who knows how well Knox could catch the ball with a bad wrist?
  7. SectionC3 is spot on. I used to park in a private lot on Sheldon just up from Abbott all the time when I had season tix because it was so easy out after the game, especially since I frequently met friends at McKinley Mall and we drove to the game in my car.
  8. I got you beat by 7 years. 😃 That was pre-cable, I lived in the country outside a really small town, and my parents were pretty strict, so I didn't see anything that wasn't fit for broadcast tv until I was old enough to go to the movies with my friends (without my dad having to drop me off). I can't remember the first R movie that I saw, but the first X rated movie that I saw was Midnight Cowboy in 1969 when I was in college (the movie theater in my home town would never have shown an X rated movie. It was a different world back then.).
  9. Don't confuse the people with facts! LOL. If EVER there was a perfect example of how it's better for a team to be lucky than good, it's the Eagles Super Bowl win, starting with giving control of personnel to Howie Roseman after they fired Chip Kelly in 2015. All the "heroes" of that Super Bowl season didn't age particularly well. Carson Wentz regressed from where he was in 2017. Nick Foles just fell back to his level as a career backup QB. Neither Doug Pedersen nor Frank Reich turned out to be the geniuses they appeared to be in February, 2018. BTW, before the Reid won his first SB, the rap on him was that he couldn't win big games, especially in the playoffs.
  10. I couldn't decide if this gem deserved a vomit, an eyeroll or a haha, so I did all three: 🤮 🙄 🤣
  11. Some other owner might fire Belichick but not Bob Kraft.
  12. 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎
  13. The Colts already have a pretty good OL as Zach Moss' success in Indy shows. Quenton Nelson is a 3 time All Pro and 4 time Pro Bowler at LG. Their other OLers are competent.
  14. That's seems to be their thinking ... if Tua can stay healthy behind their OL.
  15. The Fins have cap issues, and adding Claypool isn't going to help enough to win now to justify however little he costs the Fins against the cap. They also put Armstead on IR to make room for Claypool. If the Fins do find an OLer -- or Armstead heals up and comes back in four games -- what do they do with Claypool? It's just a trade to make a trade for Miami.
  16. Somebody in power in the Fins organization is obsessed with hoarding WRs.
  17. If the Fins are truly in win-now mode, they'd be hustling to find better OLers and/or LBS and DBs not adding an extraneous WR.
  18. Of course they care. Otherwise they wouldn't be complaining about her in one breath and then denying that they care about her in the next.
  19. If y'all really don't care about Taylor Swift, why does mention of her prompt you to post that you don't "give two craps" about her like the bell prompted Pavlov's dogs to salivate?
  20. RIP Russ Francis. Condolences to his family.
  21. Such an insightful observation! Dorsey was certainly lacking in creativity against the Fishies. You are being much too kind to Dick Jauron. He would have benched Allen for a Tentative Trent Edwards clone because Allen wants to win rather than being satisfied with not losing by too much.
  22. The NFL is entertainment, and the game was entertaining. Lots of passing early on, some great defensive plays late. Drama. You want to talk about an unwatchable game, consider the Bills-Browns game from 2009 which resulted in a 6-3 win for the Browns on a FG after a muffed punt. The Browns passed for fewer than 75 yards. The difference is that fourteen years ago there were fewer non-Sunday afternoon games, so that kind of game would have only been shown in the local markets. With fewer options on Sundays, more games are sent to larger areas.
  23. The Rams/Colts game featured a 23 point comeback by the Colts to get the team to OT and then a walk off TD by rookie sensation Puka Nacua. The Broncos came back from 21 points down to win by 3 despite Fields having a career game. The Commanders recovered from their butt-whooping by the Bills last week to take the Eagles to OT where the Eagles won on a long FG. The Vikings overcame from behind late to win over the Panthers. The Raiders almost came back on the Chargers. The Cards hung with the much more talented Niners until late in the game. The Jests came back from 17 points down to tie the game at 20 late in the game. That's a good number of OT, one score or competitive games for a Sunday. Of course, I was partial to the 48-20 thumping the Bills put on the Fish but then I have never forgiven the Carpies for Zero for the Seventies. Your opinion doesn't represent the opinions of all NFL fans, particular female football fans. The Chargers don't need a great HC to be a dangerous team. A competent one would be good enough.
