    I've had gambling issues in my family.  it's unfortunate, but it doesn't mean because it's not for some, it shouldn't be for all.  No need for personal attacks, man.  Try to understand others points, as they do yours

    Listen. I do not give a flying fig if any of you gamble. Go for it!

    I was just pointing out to a poster why some people do have a problem with it. 
     

    From the responses that I’ve just received, it sounds like TBD gamblers are very easily upset.

    A lot of people, including myself, just bet small amounts on promos for fun.  Why so many people, aside from the media coverage of it, are against betting is strange.  

    Seriously?  You think it’s strange?

    I’ve seen gambling destroy lives, marriages and families. 
     

    I personally don’t give a rip if you guys gamble, I just think it’s odd that you wouldn’t understand. 
     

    Go Bills!

    Dealing with losing a dog?

    in Off the Wall

    God bless ya, Mate.

    My almost 13 year-old buddy is laying next to me on the couch right now and I'm absolutely dreading the day she's now longer by my side.

     

    Dogs are the best.  They best buddies a person could ever ask for. 

    They're pure love, if raised as such.

     

    I've heard numerous friends say that the best way to get over the death of a dog, is to go right out and get yourself another one.

    The new buddy will occupy your time and attention, and will hopefully ease the pain of missing Stella.

     

    My heart goes out to you. 

    RIP Stella.

    The Big Lie we were fed that McDermott is a disciplined, prepared, hard worker

    The proof is in the pudding on how untrue all of this has always been. Being good at game and time management is all about hard work and preparation. Same with being composed in big moments and at the end of games and your players understanding end of game situations. 

     

    This guy still makes the same exact mistakes he did in his rookie head coach season from 6 years ago. He literally hasn't learned a thing. Our players are clueless and undisciplined in big moments in the game. Look at last night's Hail Mary. It's not like we've been burned before on those in McD's tenure. It shouldn't even take that because a  good head coach prepares for situations that they haven't even been burned by. With 13 seconds, I found it absurd that people were giving him the excuse of that being a learning experience when any head coach at any level should know what to do there. I'm not sure anything would even change if we were in that situation again given what we've seen from these other scenarios. 

     

    The scapegoating of other coaches has also been the mantra of McD's apologists. It was Frazier that was too soft and conservative with "his" defense...McD is the head coach. He has YEARS to change anything he didn't like about what was supposedly Frazier's defense or replace him or take over himself. The fact is it's HIS defense because it's HIS team. It's the same with the offense. We keep seeing these shotgun runs on goaline situations that are repeated disasters. Yes Dorsey is a big problem...but who is letting him be that? McD hears those playcalls and is on the line, he can interject anytime he wants to. He is NOT a helpless bystander. It's HIS team. If he can't handle all of that, then guess what, that means he can't handle all of the responsibilities of a Head Coach. 

     

    The majority of coaches in this league could have won the last few years with the talent we've had. The good ones probably could have won a SB. We still have a guy that after all these years still craps his pants and takes these horrible defensive timeouts when the opposition's offense is scrambling to get the next play off as time is winding down to give them time to compose themselves. That happens because again he is completely unprepared for those moments in the game.  Preparation takes discipline and hard work. 

     

    I remember during this whole regime all of these propaganda articles about how disciplined, gritty, and hard working this guy is. What an absolute joke. A hard worker would show a significant amount of improvement as a coach throughout all of these years. I agree with people that Andy Reid didn't work hard to improve his time and game management skills either. But the comparisons to him are ridiculous too when Reid went to what, 4 NFC championships and a Superbowl in his first 6 years?? With a lesser QB. What are we even talking about here? 

     

    I'm glad a growing number of people here are actually willing to see this right now rather than just blindly defending him like what's been going on for years here. When does the "he'll learn from this" excuse for the same mistakes over and over and over expire? In year 10? Year 20? 

     

    I hope there's some kind of miracle and he somehow "gets it", but when he hasn't done a thing to put in the slightest bit of work to improve himself over the last 6 years, it's hard to believe it's going to happen mid-season. I hope the talent wins out enough for us to compete...but sadly we're not winning a SB with this guy now or ever. 

    Idiots everywhere!
