My wife has work out of LA frequently so I’ve been lucky to spend a decent amount of time in Cali. I’ve always had a great time but I get a similar vibe as NYC gives me in that it’s the the land of the haves and the have nots to a hyper-extent. You don’t want to live there if you’re just eeking out a “middle class” life but it’s a great place to be if you’re in the top tier.

Let’s be honest, with the money Rivers has made to date, it should be invested in ways that makes taxes a completely moot issue.

If there was a fix, it would be to have the largest TV markets/revenue generating teams make it. That would put SF in over GB and Tenn wouldn’t have made it past NE or Houston who would have won today. NFL doesn’t care about story lines, they can always manufacture new ones. They care about maximizing revenue.

I guess I don’t understand the joke? What’s so funny about it?

Cool made up story.

So he’s already out of money, huh?

If we’re making disingenuous comparisons across corporations that couldn’t be more different other than that they’re both entertainment industries, let’s not forget that MLB ignored a decade long scandal that almost crippled its business and handled the fallout of damage control in one of the worst possible ways. MLB isn’t a model for the NFL.

“We should have won,” no we shouldn’t have, because, we didn’t.

Love it. You go down to Allen Street and call someone a loser, you’re getting punched in the face. The internet needs more consequences for dweeb ***** talkers. Guy should have only made one post and just surprised the guy. Today’s maniacs can’t even get I right.

They played defenses at opposite ends of the rankings spectrum. Your comparison disingenuously ignores this.

That watch Shaq got is pretty legit, though. Probably about 20k, good get.

It would be a pretty standard definition of the term “paper tiger” to say a 10-6 team, who fans and local media began to believe was more of an elite 14-2 caliber team save a few bad breaks, was actually more like an 8-8 slightly above average caliber team, which is exactly what the OP is saying. So yes, I believe they do know what a “paper tiger” is.

I’m going to keep banging this drum. Calls go both ways. The Bills benefitted from a blown delay of game call earlier in the game just as much as another hurt them later. The team didn’t play good enough to win. That’s why they lost.

Considering that the offensive flow has shown the same trends all season long, I have to imagine McD is OK with it. Afterall, McD is essentially Daboll’s boss. I’m not saying you fire Daboll midseason but if McD didn’t like the direction of the offense, that’s his responsibility to relay that to his coordinator. My takeaway is that he wants the offense to be more on the conservative side.

Don’t let that excuse the team’s real shortcomings. Delay of game often goes unnoticed, as it did on the Bills scoring drive earlier in the game when Allen called TO well after the clock hit zero. The delay of game had no bearing on why we lost.

Can we shut up about the clock? The clock was hella expired earlier on Allen when he called the TO. It was an inconsequential no call. Blame the bad defense.

but let’s not play stupid conservative because of that. Our offense is much worse when we get conservative.

But they made the correct call. Get over it.

You cannot expect to win in the modern NFL scoring 16 points. Defense has been fine. Not great, but fine.

Come on, JB. You want to be a #1? You gotta make that.

Regardless of the review outcome, Allen has to settle down. The could have been pick six, the maybe fumble, low passes.

I’m not sure this is the battle to pick if you want to make sweeping criticisms of another city for their societal-related ills. It’s not as if Buffalo isn’t in the top-10 for major city murder rates in the country.

I wish I had so much money/status that I could dress this ridiculous and just not give af. Some of these NFL/NBA guys just trolling in real life at this point.

He would be foolish not to take the job and run. As an offensive-minded guy, there’s nothing in NE that McDaniels could be excited about. Cleveland has some issues but that’s a very appealing gig, IMO. Also, the Rivera love on this board is weird. He’s not a great coach. I’d expect him to flame out quickly in Washington without a legitimate franchise QB.

Up until about ten years ago, baseball was by and away my favorite sport but MLB is doing everything they can do to lose my interest. As maddening as it can be when a ball in the dirt is called a strike, I want the human element in my games. I don’t want to watch totally automated games devoid of human error. Leave the umps alone. Convey and enforce your rules and expectations to them more consistently.
