Getting it right and waiting for additional data and information to do so is more important than notifying fans.

You need a time out.

Good article and all... I just don't like the "I'm not allowed to change my mind and Bills fans are unfairly mean to me!" passive-aggressive attitude. Just own that you were wrong and don't act so butt hurt that fans are giving you a hard time. For once you have been held accountable. Yeah, maybe it is unfair. But suck it up. That's what your line of work attracts. Also, I disagree that Allen is just an enigma this year. He showed signs of this from his rookie season. He has definately put it all together and his level of play is surprising, but analysts who don't like Allen will always point to those first to years as evidence that he was terrible, and it just isn't true. He had flashes of greatness all along, and he showed steady improvement and an uncanny ability to make weaknesses strengths before taking his big leap this year.

You sound like a child. Instant gratification demand!

Beat up on a well rested team that DID practice (illegally).

In my opinion McDermott has always done what he needed to win. The past few years was defense and conservative offense, because that's what we had. We didn't have an offense that could put up tons of points. Now we do.

That's what hope. I do not want a forfeit.

Let's just send the Titans to the CFL and add an expansion team of free agents to play this Sunday. That way we can all forget this ever happened.

Part of the product is parity, though. They have designed the league to provide as little competitive edge as possible. They share revenue so there isn't a money gap, they instituted free agency and the salary cap, etc. All this is to keep teams as competitive as possible. Because a competitive league is a highly entertaining league. It's a good product. So they all go hand in hand.

Botulism just kills you, doesn't it?

Which I'm fine with. I'd rather have all the games played.

It's not much of a problem if you win all your games. Let's just see how things go.

I like that rule. TD's first.

Posting too much about COVID / politics / other banned topics. Or being a jerk.

Before COVID and the opt outs and trades I fully expected the Jets to be improved. I thought they could be an 8-8 or 9-7 team this year. But I underestimated Gase's ability to screw you over. Ah, but how many warnings do you have? I've been on a roll lately.

Well I can. I'm not comparing him to McDermott or anything. And we were all surprised he got to the championship game. Kudos to him for that, but Rex Ryan did that twice. His teams are mediocre, but generally play tough defense. He's just kind of an old school coach and I find his decision making poor at times. I think he's an above average coach and that's all. And I fully expect his team to eventually fall behind the rest of the NFL over time. But we'll see.

I think Vrabel is massively overrated anyway.

Well I noticed they blitzed Fitzpatrick an awful lot and I was begging for them to stop because he was really getting it out fast and delivering a strike in the face of every blitz. I wanted them to drop in coverage more against him. Makes sense to blitz Darnold a lot though, or at least line up the guys who can get pressure on him.

I totally know. Fo' shizzle.

I'm sure they did it to try to get extra pressure on Goff since Goff is terrible under pressure. Jefferson is the better pass rusher.

What risk are you referencing?

In light of the news that the Titans and Bills may not play this week, Allen has already been given a negative grade for "not showing up" in "big games".

Your judgement is in the bolded above. You jumped to conclusions that this was his motive without any evidence. Social media is where people go to post their beliefs and views on things. There's no reason to believe that Tre White was not legitimately considering opting out. You are literally calling him and his family liars, which I think is unfair and without any basis in reality.

Just not true at all. He's been playing well. He has been targeted very few times.

Whaaaa??? I just don't get it. The NFLPA should be all for the fines. Don't they realize the money the players will lose out on if the season goes off the rails?
