Gotta love the Steeler forum's alliterative creativity. One thread title: "Big Ben's Batted Balls". So, they got that going for them.

Time to pole-axe these c***suckers!

"65 Toss Power Trap. That might pop wide open." My drink during Bills game will now be called 65tosspowertrap. Wife: you're guzzling alot of that stuff. What is it? Me: 65tosspowertrap, baby! Yeah, yeah, ha, ha! Wife, puzzled, walking away: umm, ok.

Brilliant. Seriously.

Confession: I've side-kicked (umm, commonly known as "smashed through") 3 TVs over the years. Set-up: based in CA for 25+ yrs, but mostly was overseas. So actually getting to watch a BB game was a precious--and emotional--commodity. Events: (1) Post-4th SB loss, after returning from a month "up north". Watching at a secret squirrel location in Bahrain, so at least it was a US government tv. (2) MC Miracle, but I had enough control to wait until the review confirmation... and it was in my own home. (3) Circa 2012(?), first day back from an Iraq deployment--"evolutions" in our parlance. Early in a very Bill-sy blowout with me yelling "I came back for this s**t!" Unfortunately, it was my gf's tv. She was not, let's say, exactly supportive. My defense: never stupid enough to actually punch the target. Summary: Forgive me board, for I have sinned. And, ya know, "Hello therapy."

Epstein did kill himself.

Spent 10+ yrs in Iraq/Afghanistan doing yada, yada, yada. Painful memories of losing friends. Am I heartbroken when someone kneels for the anthem (and flag)? Yes. Does that person have the right to do it? Also yes. So, I'm left w seeking some middle ground, perhaps along the lines of Gugny's suggestion: just don't play the anthem anymore.

You'll wind up in the ether, getting yelled at by Mickey's wife.

Thanks MR8: agree or disagree, I really/really appreciate these types of well researched, insightful posts. They provide the essential framework for informed discussion on this board. As w others, I'm not yet convinced--but could be swayed--re Ngakoue at the $20m price point. Issues: biggest numbers came v poor pass pro teams; (possible) problem of contain, a huge DL problem this year IMO and... According to the BS being thrown over the interwebs and the football media (BIRM), there are several other viable suitors, along w Jax. Bidding war north of 20?? Not sure. But I'm just being pedantic. Solid, solid work.

General comment: thanks to posters for the GMFB vids... I don't have NFL Network so much appreciated.

Good find. Thanks for this.

Thank God... I've been waiting for the "matriculate" quote for the last 5 hours! Everything from here is downhill.

I already started drinking. Tequila. I love the smell of agave in the morning. Smells like...VICTORY!

Spot on, in my view. Just look at Ford's body angle pre-snap (shoulders/feet), as compared to DD... he's damn near 45 degrees to the line of scrimmage.

Love the optimism...probably would be Def RoY awesome.

Garz: if comment directed to me, then we're in violent agreement. Hit was late. Refs gave ridiculous warning instead of a flag. But....if it wasn't in the Mic'd up, nobody would know about it, except for the 'boys bench. My point: it's peculiar, to the extreme, that now we all know about it, and purposefully so (cuz it made the final edit). In my line of work, I learned that coincidences are rare.

Seems to me we're missing a broader point re the "ref warning/slides late" video bite. That is, it's very strange it was included at all!! It's a weird beat w/n the narrative flow of the Mic'd up segment, and it provides no real insight into the Cowboy or Bills game play. It does, however, shine a rather glaring spotlight on one aspect of the game: crap officiating. So, bottom line: cui bono? I've no answers my friends, only questions and more questions.

JF w a bit of a flex/pimp roll, while dropping a "mother f-ing Bills!!". Oh, sweet nectar of the Football Gods.

Our field goal D kicks a**/s

Well done. No joke: you are seriously my hero. (can I come over and drink the rest of the bottles mentioned in PG thread?)

Definitely a pump fake: not for the CB but for the underneath S (or nickel) to bite on a IR out. Maybe wrong, but just my $.02.

First post, so forgive my rough analogy: Spent the last 20 years as an interrogator overseas, among other "activities". Bad dudes, mostly. Also, I've been through SERE, denied area training, etc.As such, I have a good read on people. When I see SD, I immediately think "weak subject", in his eyes and body language. Specifically, this means I could break him, either quickly or w/o resort to other means. Translation to football: a subject to pressure. Conversely, in JA, I really see a guy who would f**k you off, irrespective of techniques. I've had my share of this type, and they are best under pressure. Translation to football:....well, this board is aware of the data. Anyway, so happy/blessed to be in back in WNY and to see the Bills resurgence, and to finally be able to participate in the conversation on this great forum.
