Can you say more about this, please?

Yes, by 1-2 inches. Must be standing downhill on a slope. Allen's golf handicap, I believe. Brady's is not that much lower: 8 Aaron Rodgers is 4 or 5 or something like that.

He really did come close to saying that, didn't he? “One of the big things is, it gave me time to kind of go back and look at it ....... “When I did, I felt like there were a lot of great things that we were doing. “There are always things (of), ‘Hey, maybe I would do this a little bit different moving forward......... ‘Were we on the right track? Were we doing the things I felt like, at the end of the day, as the leader of the offense and play-caller were giving us the best chance to win?’ – in a lot of cases, there were a lot of ‘Yeses,’ and sometimes, in certain situations, I would maybe do something a little different,” Dorsey said. Well, I guess we'll find out. He said that Watson is "one of the premier QB in this league and from everything I've heard about him, a really quality human being"

Good Lord, What Did I Just Listen to?

"Excuse such failure" is not the question here. The question was whether winning seasons, division winner, 2nd playoff round year after year is a huge accomplishment. And objectively, it is. But since you want to go there.....Football is the ultimate TEAM SPORT. Teams aren't entitled to and don't achieve greatness year after year simply because they have a great QB. Peyton Manning was undeniably a great QB. He played in the league 6 seasons before making it to a conference championship - which the team lost. He played in the league 9 seasons before they won a Superbowl, then 12 seasons before another Superbowl appearance, which they lost. Nothing is given, even with a great QB. I don't even know what the words mean "travesty to excuse such failure". What does that mean to you? What is excusing it? Athletes and fans of athletes have goals - let's use an example winning an Olympic Gold Medal. That's the goal. But there are many smaller goals that are still huge achievements - making his country's Olympic team, earning his country's team an Olympic spot through results in lead-up events etc. Why is it a "travesty" or "excuse" to say yes, he didn't make his ultimate goal, but what he accomplished is still a huge achievement and puts him in the top 20 or 30 divers in the world? What is it you want to hear, or to see happen with the Bills?

Dude. You said, quote "There is not a single fan that thinks a divisional round exit every year is a huge accomplishment. Lol. " That is a statement which is disprovable by a single fan who thinks 3 successive playoff years is, in fact, a huge accomplishment - not the end goal, but still a huge accomplishment. I am that single fan I believe there are others, but I suffice to disprove your original statement (which you've changed, by the way - no, I was not responding to a claim that "fans want to peak at the divisional round", that's a different statement. Stand down, I'm not the delusional one. Yes, we want more, but that doesn't take away from what the team has done as a "huge accomplisment"; it is.

I mean this in the nicest way, @HamSandwhich: Google. Seriously. All sorts of info is out there. For example: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2022/9/24/23368759/mississippi-welfare-fraud-scandal-brett-favre-reform Asking people to give you a "good article" combined with the above "ESPN was one of the entities that were accused by Favre so they have a reason to paint this in a certain light" suggests that you are primed to accept only certain sources, so instead of asking to be fed so that you can reject what you're given as biased or as not good, why not just do your own research? Again - this is a strong hint that you are only looking for articles that read in a certain way or from certain sources you accept, so why not do your own research to find something you perceive as "fair" or "holding mustard" instead of demanding to be fed and chiding those who don't feed you? Full disclosure I'm not rolling my eyes at you, but I rather understand why you're drawing that response.

I wonder if the Browns choices were limited by 1) needing someone willing to work with Stefanski as primary play caller 2) willingness to work with DeShaun Watson In the TBN article about Dorsey's interview as Browns OC, Dorsey was quoted with an interesting comment: As the leader of the offense. Hmmmm. Maybe it's just me, but I see Josh Allen as the" leader of the offense" and the OC as the designer and play caller.

Um. 🙋‍♂️ It is a huge accomplishment. It's just not the level of accomplishment we as fans (and the Pegulas as owners) want to peak at. But it's still a huge accomplishment. It is very hard to win consistently in the NFL. The season records are littered with teams that changed coaches, had a winning season or two, went to the playoffs, and then subsided to mediocrity.

? Andy Reid’s oldest son killed himself with an accidental drug overdose at age 29 in Eagles training camp. I think Andy Reid missed a day of camp and asked that training camp continue in his absence, then re-joined the team pretty shortly Far as I know, none of the Reids actually killed anyone though, the younger son came about as close as one can come without actually (permanently disabled a little girl, who spent weeks in a coma)

Andy Reid’s son Britt Reid almost killed a little girl, who was left permanently and severely disabled as a result. This was just before the Chiefs Super Bowl loss to Tampa Bay. Since they lost , not sure you could say “didn’t miss a beat”

Dan Quinn hiring his own staff especially OC and DC is SOP for a HC change At the least it’s more common than not But What’s intriguing about this, is that 1) Sam Howell showed promise 2) The Commanders own the #2 pick 3) Kingsbury just spent last season coaching Caleb Williams at USC (Kingsbury was his QB coach) So….what will happen there?

All of you kids, GERROF MY LAWN!!!!!

A while back (can't find it) I saw this thing where guys were shown a bunch of photos and asked to rate the girls in them. There were a lot of critical comments. Then they were asked to rate themselves and they were like "9" "9.5" blah black and I'm looking at the guys involved and going "seriously Dude you think you're a 9?" I'm all about "ratings, who cares, just so you're happy" but the flab bellied basement dweller dissing quite nice looking ladies has become such a meme Huh? Wasn't Brady's separation/divorce year the Bucs 8-9 season where they missed the playoffs?

Ha yeah I sound like I'm all up on the social medias probably, which is ironic since I don't have an account on Insta or X or Tiktok or whatever Brittany did a podcast with Matt Stafford's wife and I ran into an article about it Obviously we agree on Scenario #2

Actually, according to various interviews, they had known each other casually (families were friends) before his "star blew up", but only started dating when he was in college at Wyo. Unclear how serious it was before Allen's "Star blew up" and he was predicted to become a 1st round draft pick in the NFL in 2016 (then went back to school). She was a popular cheerleader sorority girl at Fresno, the school Allen wanted to attend, while Allen was a scrawny geek trying to grow into his height and sending out 1,000 letters looking for a DI scholarship. You can see it in the early relationship photos she posted on her Insta, she gives off "I'm the hot cheerleader" vibes while he gives off "how did I wind up with her?" vibes. There's this little thing called a "prenup" which takes care of that problem.......... Marriage is not required to have such an agreement, it's also called a "personal contract" or "personal agreement". The typical terms involve nondisclosure during and after the agreement, in exchange for something of value (in Williams case, probably an allowance during the relationship and a hefty severance package if they break up). A famous example of a celebrity with this sort of thing in place would be Oprah Winfrey. Pretty sure Josh and Brittany had something like this already in place when she moved to Buffalo. Josh seems to have had a solid financial advisor/agent/social media/legal team in place starting from before the NFL draft, and that's the sort of thing such a team would strongly recommend.

Thanks. Yeah, that does pretty clearly seem to imply that *something* outside the building was dragging Josh down at the beginning of last season and *something different* is giving him energy this season.

I dunno about narcissist but def. seem to trend towards attention seeking and drama with NFL WRs and CBs

A girlfriend who has her own career and money and fame doesn’t need to depend on Josh to get her onto the red carpet or into the A list parties. She can get there on her own If she’s with Josh it’s because that’s where she wants to be. A girlfriend whose thing is basically, being a football player’s girlfriend, can go one of two ways, Either she makes his success her whole focus - Zo Alexander talked about how important his wife was to his success and extended career, encouraging him to take care of his body and eat differently. Or, he’s her ticket to the A list parties and the best clubs and the glamorous life, and the 6+ months of intense football is what she puts up with to get there. My impression was Brittany was in the latter sort by the end of the relationship I mean, different tastes. They are both beautiful women.

I must have missed it, what was Dawkins backhanded compliment? Correct

I don't know if Josh Allen is engaged. But introducing his Dad to Tom Brady was pretty engaging:

LOL Interviewer: "What is it about a sports-y man?" Steinfeld: (drops voice into husky range) "Listen, what ISN'T it about?"

Tyreek Hill has blazing speed. So what's your argument now, that defenses only fear 1 or 2 WR in the league who can "burn them" on one mistake? That's a silly argument. When a receiver is turning in 8-10 reception, >100 yd games you can safely bet that opposing DCs are scared of him and are striving to shut him down. If they don't, you'll see debacles like our first game with Miami where defensive Savant Vic Fangio left Kader Kohou on an island to cover Diggs, and Diggs toasted the Dolphins for 120 yds and 3 TD. Again, I'm not trying to argue that Diggs has scared defenses every game (no receiver does, including Hill), and Diggs has had long silent stretches the last 2 seasons. But to say he has "never" scared defenses or taken over a game flies in the face of actual documented facts. The Bills didn't offer him a big contract extension because he "never" scared defenses. I actually like Sauce better for how he behaved towards the kid. He was 100% cool. Well played Gardner! Pity, I'd prefer to dislike him.

I am personally rooting "one game farther" for them.

LOL at "never". In 2020 when Diggs first came to Buffalo and was leading the league in targets, receptions, and yards while rocking a catch % of 76.5%, teams were plenty scared of him. Not viewing a guy who is leading the league in receptions as a threat, Sure guy.
