You said that given the same circumstances Allen would have put up 55 points and Burrow put up 27. Do you truly believe that Allen is 28 points better? I think Allen and Mahomes probably have the highest ceiling with Burrow being very close behind them but Allen has by far the lowest floor because he turns the ball over a lot.

You're greatly overestimating Allen. He's not better than Burrow. Especially not twice as good.

Come on now. There's a pretty good argument for Burrow over Allen. Allen is great, but don't act like Burrow is a bum. Burrow had a hobbled center and was missing 3 other starting Olineman. He has better WRs for sure. But Allen is much more mistake prone.

Jones is hurt. He wasn't a healthy scratch.

Bit on the fake screen, not the run.

Yes, most QBs struggle in really bad weather. Purdy hasn't just been "good." He's been sensational. The highest rated QB in the league since week 11 when he began starting. That's insane. Do I think he's the best QB in the league based on that? Absolutely not. But it's not just "lack of tape" either.

Would contract consider that though? Fields plus a boatload of picks > Jackson and a huge conteact.

I somehow missed that this was suddenly 7 pages long and it was already addressed, so I called myself out there too!

Troy Vincent isn't part of the NFLPA.

Go ahead. Please show me where I said anything remotely close to that.

It says NOWHERE that the Russians had no impact entirely. It says that the Russian troll accounts on TWITTER had no impact. Those are 2 different things entirely. You are stating they had no impact at all. The articles you posted says the Twitter accounts had no impact on the election. Twitter is obviously not the only avenue to take in this situation. So either you didn't read/understand fully what it said, or you are trying to mislead people.

Your own article says that there was no impact made by the Russian accounts on Twitter. Not that there wasn't Russian interference, but that the Russian troll accounts on Twitter did not impact the elections. From your own article: "Citing a new study, the Post reports that there was no appreciable impact made by Russian “trolls” operating on Twitter during the 2016 election." The "trolls operating on Twitter" had no impact. I am not arguing that there was a bunch of Russian interference because I haven't seen enough evidence one way or the other, but your post is really misleading too.

3 years in a row Joe Woods would play zone coverage nonstop while Cleveland's corners excel in man to man. He always would switch with like 5 games left and the defense would improve tremendously. I don't fully blame him for the run defense though because he was saddled with crap DTs.

With an odd number of playoffs teams, that isn't possible.

Billionaires are all about efficiency. Show me a haircut more time efficient than that!

It isn't opinion. 8 of the top 10 states for federal funding deficit are Republican states. Kentucky alone received $26.6B more in federal aid than they pay in federal taxes, almost $6,000 per resident.

Who cares about public? Is that really the requirement now? And again, we have no idea if that would be a Democrat or a Trump thing, because Trump wouldn't give Democrats credit for anything they did do. The dude was an "expert" on everything, the "best" at everything, and took credit for everything he could, even if he wasn't involved. I doubt his partisan hack ego could allow them to show up together.

First Step Act of 2018 is one for criminal justice changes. And your criteria isn't necessarily showing great Republican "bipartisanship" as you seem to believe. Trump was also as partisan as it gets, and tried to withhold emergency federal funding because it was to a Democratic state. So it wasn't always Democrats refusing to work with him, though it obviously goes both ways there entirely too often. Both parties are garbage, everyone knows they're garbage, yet we sit here and argue about whose garbage smells better. And we draw lines over who has the best garbage while the parties are the same damn thing painted different colors.

McConnell's Kentucky is one of the welfare capitals of the country. Of course he is going to support another federally funded infrastructure project in his own state. Kentucky receives 215% more federal funding than they pay in. This isn't some great "bipartisan" plan. It's Kentucky with their hand out, like usual.

KC does have room to talk because that is not how home field works. It is based on overall record, not just head to head. Head to head is the tie breaker, not the deciding factor. I don't see any way that Buffalo and Cinci don't finish the game. The question will be WHEN and how to change the other schedules to accommodate it.

I understand, but like I said, that really doesn't accomplish anything. It would give one team of Cinci and Buffalo a bye, and the other one would probably go without. I think if anything, the playoffs will be delayed in their entirety to give Cinci and Buffalo a chance to finish the game. Still not perfect, but there are way too many other moving parts to do things otherwise. Otherwise there could be tons of teams not involved that would get directly punished by this situation.

What does that accomplish though? If Buffalo and Cinci end up as the 2 and 3, then one team gets a bye and the other doesn't? And now add another playoff team for the AFC but not the NFC?

Head to head only matters if they are tied though, and they aren't. You can't penalize KC for a game they weren't even involved in. There is no great way to fix this, but punishing KC for it isn't the answer either. They either have to play the game at some point, or figure out an acceptable way to make this as "fair" as possible, which I am not sure there is one.

I feel like it could be good news. Hopefully it means he is stable enough that they can wait on her. I don't feel like they would wait if they didn't feel comfortable doing so.

No. His forward progress stopped.
