Chaos

Since the 1970's the majority of marriages have been temporary. Today's young people don't even have a notion of marriage being a big commitment. It wasn't for their parents or their grandparents generation at this point. They are following our actions.

I thought both of Mahomes very bad interceptions counted as interceptions in the super bowl. Mahomes had some very head scratching plays in that game.

His stats suggest his 2019 season was fairly good. If he were to repeat those stats, decent chance he could end up in the super bowl.

To me, the best NFL stats are situational stats. For example. An RB averaging 5 yards on third and 10, and average 3 yards on first and ten then an RB who averages 4.5 yards per carrying in both of those situations. Stats are very important, but in the NFL, the infamous "eye test" does have a bearing on the review. The stat I want to see is "drive-killing drops." All drops suck, but if a pass-catcher drops a check down at the line of scrimmage on first and 10, that is far less frustrating to see than a player dropping a well-thrown ball 15 yards up the field on 3rd and 10. The second instance is nearly as bad as a turnover. Does anyone know if such a stat is tracked by PFF or someone else?

love Josh Allen. Think he will be great. Patrick Mahomes will also be great The super bowl was not the best I have seen Mahomes play. Regarding "has more weapons". Kelce and Watkins both made plays in that game that kept drives alive that no bills receiver would have made. Mahome consisently through behind Kelce, whose ability to adjust is amazing. Three drive saving plays is a huge number in a game.

Bold part needs to be fixed.

That is a sad tier. I am glad Reid moved past it. Marty was a great coach. Shame he is the name of a level now.

Andy Reid is a good coach. He had 10 playoff wins before winning a super bowl (this included 3 playoff wins in his first 3 seasons). To date McDermott has zero playoff wins in his first three seasons. The Bills have achieved the "Marvin Lewis" success tier. There are a couple of more levels before Super Bowl winner. 40-1 sounds about right.

During the game, in the shoutbox, I mentioned I thought the niners were the NFC version of the Bills. It was fricking eerie.

He was named to the team, OP's question is why did he not attend?

Its is not clear to me how dependent the Mahomes brand is on winning. If he is able to make more money on endorsements than on football,. like a Tiger Woods type player, his contract might very well be less than people think, in order to make sure the talent surrounding him remains good enough to win. Brady's willingness to play for less has been a distinct patriots advantage (I am aware Brady has a uniquely high earning wife among NFL QBs). Would Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees have four or five Rings, if they had played for Brady's money. Mahomes' amazing national popularity and high level of charisma makes him in a different position to earn money away from his direct QB compensation than most.

Not sure what the officially legacy source of "all-pro" is. But from 1993 to 1990 there were 6 seasons some group picked him as a first or second team all-pro. Also, Pro Football Weekly (PFW) named Long as one of the ends on its All-time 3-4 defensive front, along with Lee Roy Selmon, Curley Culp, Lawrence Taylor, Andre Tippett, Randy Gradishar, and Harry Carson. PFW based its "Ultimate 3-4" team on the vote of over 40 former NFL players, coaches, and scouts.[7] Of this list, all but Gradishar are in the Hall. Howie Long has legitimate credentials to be in the HOF, based on being one of the best players at his position throughout a long NFL career.

This is really creative and impressive. I am quite jealous.

Daboll is, at best, a mediocre play designer. People blame his play-calling typically when criticizing him, but his basic plays are straightforward to diagnose and defend. When the Bills defense gets beat on a pass play, it is not because of some superior throws into a tight window, its because the receivers are wide open. Poor play design is the reason the Bills abandoned the ineffective screen plays, and the reason we have fewer wide-open receivers than other teams.

It makes zero sense that you get fewer weapons and less offensive support to go with the guy with the lesser college experience.

The way rookie contracts work, there is a limited amount of time. Compare the Chiefs in year 2 of Mahomes and the Bills in year 2 of Allen. Or compare year 2 for Lamar Jackson to year 2 of Allen.

My daughter got to participate in the Punt Pass and Kick competition as an eight year old when the Flutie and Johnson debate was ongoing. The kids were all given Johnson jerseys to wear. Until half time, all of the kids who participated sat together as a group. At the half she came back to our seats and very nonchalantly sat down and said "not sure why the gave us these Jersey's, Johnson sucks". This was not a word we had heard her use before, so we always assume she picked it up from the older kids. But we chuckled often about that.

Not a player, but hands down Russ Brandon for anyone connected to the Bills. As a player Ryan Fitzpatrick. (Personally he seems like a great guy, and I expect him to be a better commentator than Tony Romo someday). But as a player the moment he signed the big contract, I knew the team was being set back badly. Similarly, EJ Manuel is a close second. there was nothing to root for there, and the team just kept chasing bad decisions after bad decision to try to make Manuel something he was not. As a person EJ also seems like a good guy. But it was brutal having him as a QB.

Bridgewater is better. than Hill. The Saints know it. Brees is better than Bridgewater. The Saints, a very well run organization, can't afford Bridgewater and Hill and Brees. Saints are not prepared to commit to Bridgewater as Brees replacement (and the painful 2020 season roster changes that entails related to having 2 highly expensive QBs). This is the exact sort of player stockpiling the salary cap is designed to prevent. Notwithstanding Bridgewater's fine backup performance, Hill is far more important for a 2020 last hurrah with Brees, than Bridgewater is. If Brees gets hurt again, then the hurrah is over. Based on Brees retirement comments, the next injury is likely career ending. Since Bridgewater is just too expensive to retain for 2020, he is by default not part of the Saints future. Hill will be on the roster, so he becomes the QB until the Saints find someone better, which is not now, but could very well be likely in the 2021 off-season.

if regular season is all that matters then the inventor of Lamar Jackson whose team was the number one seed in the AFC hands down did the best coaching job. If post season matters then we will know Sunday night if Reid or Shanahan is coach of the year.

Thank you for posting this. There are countless people who have spent their lives researching drugs and others learning how to successfully treat people. More often than commended, they are vilified for making a living. Meanwhile buffoons wander around as if nothing has changed in the battle against cancer in the last 100 years.

O'Brien has been functioning as GM in all but name for sometime. He gets credit or blame for the personnel moves this past year.

Neither do the chiefs. But that seems to be working out o for them.

You don't like to admit it but Josh Allen improved dramatically from year 1 to year 2 (his first full year as a starter) and shows no signs of leveling off yet. Almost every week he made you look like a fool. But that makes it more fun for the rest of us.

Its a quality issue, not a quantity issue.
