Obvious newbie. Trying to include facts in an internet dicussions instead of just emotions and opinions. You'll never win an argument that way!

I didn't read the article (paywall), and I'm not saying that Zach Wilson was salvageable, but I don't think any quarterback including Allen would have succeeded given the situation they put Wilson in. I assume they discussed Wilson in the article, it's a case study in what not to do.

So those Cowboy and Browns fans who were questioning his desire to play football were probably right.

The NFL is purely demand driven. The reality is that the only way prices go down is if people don't pay because either they don't watch or watch illegally. So the illegal streaming services lower the legal prices, not the opposite.

Yeah, the Christian Hackenberg pick in 2016 was WTF from the moment it was made. You are doing pretty badly when you have two second round picks within 4 years play zero snaps for your team.

They don't have any example of people being offended. It a case of people being offended by people being offended.

Who, exactly, has said they were offended? There is nothing in the article with examples of people who actually said they were offended.

Right. Some people thought Jalen Virgil was a courtesy cut. Forget about it -- he was actually released with an injury designation.

It has nothing to do with what Chicago wants and as usual it's about what makes the most money for the Bears. The Bears wanted a lot of money from the state and city to build downtown and were rejected. The Bears own 350 acres in Arlington Heights so they think they can make more money building the stadium there and developing the surrounding area. Arlington Heights might also be willing to give them tax incentives.

Don't forget preseason Hall of Famer Brandon Reilly.

Most likely this was mentioned before but the Bills didn't have a choice. Previous to this season any team that had made the playoffs the previous two seasons were allowed to decline. This was why the most recent seasons were mostly the leagues sad sacks and why episode one has so much less drama.

I'm pretty sure they were before they had the pads on.

I agree that picks in training camp doesn't matter. I strongly disagree that turnovers don't matter during the season. Minimizing turnovers was what made the Bills offense so remarkably efficient last season and why Allen was the MVP. If the Bills had the same number of turnovers last season as 2023 they would probably have finished 10 and 7 again or worse considering the state of the defense.

You are arguing context but there was no context in the original statement - simply that four Super Bowl wins and zero losses is better than four Super Bowls wins and 2 losses. I agree winning in the finals does raise ones status exponentially however in this case the two have the same number of Super Bowls wins at the age you are comparing. I don't think losing in a couple of Super Bowls subtracts from the wins but rather adds (a little bit) to it.

I have never understood this line of reasoning. Why is it better to lose in an earlier round versus getting to the Super Bowl and then losing? To me, everything else being equal, going 4 and 2 in the Super Bowl is obviously better than going 4 and 0.
