Speaking of Coleman, he doesn't have to show up Josh by pointing out that the pass should have been higher... some immaturity still showing.

Coleman

Not saying it's fair but if they call offsetting, the refs can't put an end to the extracurricular nonsense.

Aye, the McConkey kids run like a frisky kid goats on a fresh pitch of spring turf...

No, just an identity crisis. 🙃

Interesting historical context: All-Time Bills-Jets Record: Bills 70 Jets 58 Bills All-Time Winning Percentage: .480 Jets All-Time Winning Percentage: .448 Bills winning percentage during 17 year drought: .412 Jets winning percentage during current 14 year drought: .358

Were they German cops? FYI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Gun_Kelly Agree. I felt that way about Buck O'Neill in MLB.

I haven't given up hope for Elam and have argued in favor of him getting as much PT as possible. I too wonder about how someone with so much raw ability can still struggle with his job and this makes me question the coaching. That said, he was coached last year by John Butler and this year by Jahmile Addae. You'd think with a fresh start that the light might finally come on for him. Personally I think he's too tightly wound and that he would play better if he dialed it down a bit.

I think it's a foregone conclusion that the Special Teams Coordinator will not be back next season. I wonder if there's any possibility that Babich is still auditioning for his job... or if he's safe regardless of how the rest of the season plays out.

To the bolded... is this to say that Mathis is a former wrestler? You can't say "Git 'er done!" until it's first proceded by "I've heard of him!" Did you ever stop to consider how much pressure you were putting on the young man? Dad's gonna kill us!

I also noticed that they played the entire game with only 10 players. It's incredible that they won. Possibly even since the Roman Gabriel era. And Kurt's word carries a lot of weight around here. Kurt who? Game, set, and match.

Wasn't that the Chiefs? I can't remember... I was actually wondering earlier today... if someone is speaking in a foreign language and someone else is telling you what they're saying, is that person a translator or an interpreter? Also, be true to your school.

He's a fine young lad, the McConkey boy... And his sister Lass, is a bonnie, young lassie too.

I wonder if PFR hasn't updated since the challenge in November. Thank you for not only the hard work, but the excellence of the work. This is really a significant accomplishment. Kudos and thanks again to you. 👍

I like that you're thinking outside the box a bit. Sounds good. What's her name?

We have a winner...

When I was researching my earlier post on his career, there were a few other items in his Wiki article that I didn't mention because there was already so many accomplishments in his life. However, in addition to his professional accomplishments as a collegian Bergey despite the fact that some of his "southern schoolmates would physically fight with the "Yankee" from Western New York, and his actual time at ASU in Jonesboro was difficult" accomplished the following: was an All-American for the Arkansas State Indians (now Red Wolves) and has since been voted by fans the Top Player in Arkansas State history. while at ASU set records for best tackling average in a season, most fumble recoveries in a season, most tackles in a game, most tackles in a season, and most career tackles. He once had 33 tackles in a single game, and averaged 19.6 tackles per game in 1968. played in three post-season all-star games during his ASU career (the Senior Bowl, the North-South Game, and one of the last Chicago All-Star games, against the New York Jets. was selected to the All-Southland Conference team three times and to the Southland Conference All-First Decade Team. jersey number 66 was retired by ASU, and he was the first person to go up on its Wall of Fame. Off the football field: was a charter member of Delta Eta chapter of Kappa Alpha Order at ASU. graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education, and a commission in the Army Reserves. during his playing days, Bergey served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve. served as a color commentator on radio broadcasts of the Philadelphia Eagles from 1982 to 1983, and did pre-game and post-game radio and television commentary for the team during the season for over 20 years. was a plaintiff in the concussion related lawsuit against the NFL filed and settled in a Philadelphia federal court. is a member of the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame (2004). In 1989, he became a member of the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame. was diagnosed with oral cancer in 2021 and determinedly fought in response to the disease, finding encouragement and inspiration from others, including former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly Other points of interest: Bergey had conflicts with guard Conrad Dobler of the Eagles' NFC East rival St. Louis Cardinals, who once spit on him while he was downed and injured. His and Dobler's volatile relationship was ranked by NFL Films at No. 9 on the NFL Top 10 list of feuds. In the film Silver Linings Playbook, Robert De Niro’s character Pat Solitano Sr., an Eagles fanatic, wears a number 66 Bill Bergey jersey.

Rapp has arguably been the Bills best defensive player this year and his injury had the biggest negative affect on the defense. He's been one of the best safeties in the league this year, IMO.

This would be better satire if they were made to sign the NDA before entering the stadium. (But thanks for posting all the same) And then he took that motivation and used it to propel himself to a Hall of... oh never mind. 🙂 The functionality (i.e. - fast forward) could be better but I had not problem with the actual feed at my end. And the picture was immaculate. But I'm highly annoyed that streaming is growing and even more, that the NFL is fragmenting their packages so we have to subscribe to more services in order to watch the games. That's the real evil IMO. Also Bishop, Elam, and Solomon. Actually you're one of a group of people here that are crusading about not winning/not caring about the MVP... that are at least as heavily invested in your viewpoints than those here who would like to see Josh win it. While I'm sure Josh cares more about winning the Super Bowl than the MVP... 1) Josh is an ultra-competitive guy so there's no way that he doesn't care 2) As clearly demonstrated by his teammates giving him the MVP bling, THEY CARE very much who wins it as it's often viewed as a team award... and those guys LOVE Josh and want him to win it 3) It's a career/legacy award so you're probably downplaying it more than the team/Josh are 4) Many here would love to see Josh win it because of the long-overdue recognition it would bring him So regardless of how we as individuals feel about him winning the award (or wanting to win the award) it's a big deal and an essential part of the narrative surrounding this game. Personally I don't foresee an MVP-clinching performance in this game... I just don't get the feeling it's gonna happen but I would love to be wrong. Beyond the player himself, there's also the burden of drafting his Stage Mom/Little League Dad parent. This is another reason I'm not feeling a big performance on Sunday. Josh has an established history of downplaying and playing through pretty significant injuries which hurt his performance. He injured his shoulder against the Lions. His arm/hand has gone numb a couple of times since then. The Bills better be doing everything they can to protect Josh from himself. You're not wrong but the Jets Super Bowl win is pretty meaningless at this point. The Jets fans I talk to never bring it up. I always mention it to make them feel better. Consider: All-Time Bills-Jets Record: Bills 70 Jets 58 Bills All-Time Winning Percentage: .480 Jets All-Time Winning Percentage: .448 Bills winning percentage during 17 year drought: .412 Jets winning percentage during current 14 year drought: .358 Finally, consider this question: How many Bills fans would trade the promise of the future for a Super Bowl win in 1969? Fixed Seems to me they should also bring in Keon Coleman. Regarding Davante Adams, he won't be with the Jets next year so from the Jets' standpoint there's nothing to save him for. Also he wants to catch Rodgers' 500th career TD pass. I believe he caught Rodgers' 100th and 400th career TD passes. Rodgers is currently poised at 499.

Wow. I don't really know what to say... thank you and I'm very impressed with your work. 👍

Oh good. When they bought the Arlington Park location I thought it was being viewed as a foregone conclusion.

I have a feeling he knows where he wants to go and I'm pretty sure it's not Buffalo.

I loved the suggestion here that broadcasts/livestreams have the option of crowd noise only, blocking out the announcers completely. Almost every NFL play-by-play guy has annoyed the crap out of me and pissed me off on a pretty regular basis. I'm one of those guys who naturally blocks out the diarrhea coming out of their mouths. Often I'll be asked who the announcing crew is and I won't know the answer. Greg Gumbel was one of the few exceptions. He was an easy listen, an astute observer and all-around super solid. He was very likable to boot. RIP Greg.

I think this was totally true before this season began but I think it’s a bit less true now. Based on this season I think there are GMs who view them as equal. JMO

In the time after he received his first MVP, I remember many in the media being skeptical of his ability to be a pure passer. At that same time there were just as many that thought he was an elite quarterback, even though he actually wasn't yet.
