You deserved that doink for being g(n)utless, Sally.

Particularly defense. How much of the 'soft' attitude of the past stemmed from the leadership of Frazier and the example of Edmunds? They both were the sort to just hang on and hope the other guy makes enough mistakes. With them out of the way, the beating heart of the defense is now 58 and 43: fast, smart, agressive, looking to impose their will on the offense instead of the eternal bend-and-don't-break-till-the-playoffs. I'd add Oliver in there too. If anything he's been even more ornery and arriving at ball-carriers in a truculent mood since scoring his contract, which is absolutely an anomaly in the league.

Build a man a fire and you can keep him warm for a day. Set a man on fire and you can keep him warm for the rest of his life.

His best throw of the day was probably the deep right sideline incompletion to Shakir. He fit it into a porthole 40 yards downfield. Ridiculous.

4 or 5 of those stupid bounces in the first half was the only reason Miami even stayed in the game for 20 minutes. Without some fluky good luck for the Dolphins this could have been 48-6 pretty easily.

Fight Doctor Ferdie Pacheco might gain 60 yards against the way the Jets DL is performing.

Just fall on it Micah ffs

Ah piss. Forgot to mention Bob Calvert above. He put out an album that almost nobody (except me) bought in 1974 that was as uncategorical as Hawkwind was... this is almost... proto-punk? Which of course reminds me how Hawkwind also carried forth that germination on the Quark Strangeness & Charm album and subsequents like PXR-5. They were one of the spacey/proggy bands to adapt to the ascendant punk ethos of short, punchy, hooky songs. (See: Yes circa 90125) One more piece of spam. What did grunge sound like in 1968?

Seeing Arthur Brown opening for the Hawkwind 50th reminded me... pretty sure Eric Burdon copped part of the intro to their "only song that anyone knows" as inspiration for Spill The Wine, there's a definite parallel in a segment or two...

This has to be the most insanely dedicated-to-detail visual animations of an actual live show I've ever seen. Dave Brock, Nik Turner, Lemmy, Stacia, Dik Mik and the rest of... Hawkwind. 50th Anniversary of the Space Ritual.

The game is against the Ravens now?

A 3-4 OLB in particular, to limit his responsibilities and/or thinking about what to do.

Ah no. This board would have been in flames signing Roller Derby Tremaine to that contract.

Was just thinking how Dorian looked far better this preseason as a rookie than Bernard ever did last year. Even more instinctive and violent. Figured Bernard would be the placeholder till they could get Dorian coached up, but...

Mahomes moved Edmunds around with his eyes like a cat with a laser pointer every time when he was with the Bills. Did it again yesterday as a Bear. He absolutely owns Edmunds. If you need to get past KC he can't be on your team, because against that guy in particular, he SUCKS.

Oliver is not playing the game just to secure a payday. He wants to hit people. Hard. That makes him the Dick Jauron of Bills DC's, complete with the vacant sideline stare.

The Comanches games I've seen this year, the effectiveness of their D line has been led mainly by the excellent tackles Jonathan Allen (7.5 sacks last year) and Daron Payne (11.5 sack last year) disrupting the interior. There probably isn't a better pair in the league. I don't recall them flashing at all and barely heard their names. Young and Sweat had a moment or two but the drivers of that defense got nothing at all, totally dominated by the Bills guards which was the Aaron Rodgers Heel (too soon?) of the Bills offense last year. This... this is what's new this year that has been missing for a while for Buffalo. This might just be an upper-third OL in the league which it hasn't been close to that in the Allen era. This might be the game to review the tape play-by-play just watching the OL.

"One-sided" is the best way to put it. The most aggravating sort, where they'll allow flagrant stuff for one side (LB accosting Knox all the downfield with illegal contact) and call a ticky-tack the other way (the illegal contact on third down). The massive, obvious holding being let slide (i.e. huge one on Phillips in the red zone) while making the weird "tripping without using your leg" - never seen that before. And I still don't know how that McLaurin fumble was complete with forward progress, that was another huge outlier of a call which like almost all of them fell the way of the home team. In a fair game they might have run them out like Miami did to Denver.

I have no idea how there's no flag on Speed taking down Flowers there, but lol.

They're trying to win next week's game today, I suppose.
