Mahomes at the podium whining about the offside saying they should’ve been given a warning instead. Shut up you little whiner.
He needs to slow his roll. We were on the wrong end of it twice this year. And, if the other side of the ball lines up that way, we all know there’s not going to be a warning.

Anybody else experience it like this?

> Then you realize "OK, maybe that wouldn't have been the worst TD" with that much time on the clock and JA having the ball last
> Then the "Damn, should I wish they would have scored right there?" moment
> Then the realization that only a fvcking Bills fan could have that kind of internal debate during that moment in a game.
my take was Frank whychek died today and I knew something weird was going to happen. Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous. We got one back on forward lateral, McDermott exercised some demons, and we won at our little shop of horrors with our backs against the wall.

Yep. I’m furious at his decision to go for the TD as opposed to giving Bass a chance
What was Bass’s long in warmups?

You let Bass take a shot there. Period. Another classic example of ***** coaching by McDummy. His game management skills are among the worst in the league. So nice to have a coach who buries key skill players in his dog house and tearing them down mentally, instead of working to restore their confidence.
You know they chart the stuff in warmups and know his max each way, right? That’s how CBS places that red line on the screen. He could not make that kick. We knew it and they knew it. No reason to risk a low trajectory shot in the dark that easily could have been blocked.

On grass in chill weather. NFC on that kick. Throw to EZ was the right call.

That's incorrect and you would know that if you had an economics degree (like I do) or read that book I suggested (great book you will like it). This is not a political discussion. I'm not a Trump supporter and this is bigger than either party.
Long story short, one of the greatest economists in history proved what you said is not true and won the Nobel prize in economics for it. Because we live in a country where we print our own money on demand, the normal rules of a free market economy do not apply when it comes to inflation.
Milton Friedman:
"Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.” Of course, we all know the driver of the quantity of money is government spending priorities, and recently the government has been spending more than ever in history!
CNN and the White House (in lock-step like a state run media) will say it's a number of factors including pandemic, supply issues, Russia, energy, greedy businesses etc. Friedman - "But none of them produce inflation for the very simple reason that neither the businessman, nor the trade union, nor the housewife has a printing press in their basement on which they can turn out those green pieces of paper we call money."
Our politicians have little incentive to not spend ridiculous amounts of money and fund foreign wars. Their supporters praise them for it. Both sides have done it, but under Joe we have never seen anything like this. Socialism is expensive and the only solution they have had is to print more money to pay for it. Thus INFLATION. Every time they pass a "save the environment" bill that has nothing to do with the environment and has a million other spends added to it, you are the one paying for it through inflation! It's not a win. We all lose...
You should know with that economics degree that Friedman actually believed that persistent inflation is a printing phenomenon. He also believed that supply issues could cause short term inflation. And, of course, he was dead long before the pandemic, which is a black swan in many ways, including in its effect upon supply and demand.

Oof this comment shows you have little understanding of economics and how the Fed printing money results in inflation (hidden tax on everyone). Please read "The Creature from Jekyll Island."
I’m the one who doesn’t understand? The fed always prints money. Always. Look it up. It’s hardly a Biden administration issue. And the idea that we wouldn’t have inflation after a year of pent up demand and limited supply (thank you, Trump, for mangling the pandemic) is deluded. Inflation unfortunately was sticky because it turns out people really need a lot of those
stickier items (like food) and in free market United States economy the federal government couldn’t command price corrections,

you keep dodging your ‘free market’ assertion. That’s a lie.
The supply is heavily influenced by federal government regulation, domestic policy, foreign policy, and monetary policy. Initially Whitehouse policies among other factors exacerbated constrained supplies and gas prices spiked.
You are clinging to the fact that they recently went back on their campaign promises to their base no drilling on federal land, etc and opened up the spigot on leases and permits etc. to offset the Ukrainian debacle and to likely do something about abysmal polling.
More examples of government intervention that manipulated the market- not Free market. The strategic petroleum reserve and use of it is not free market. The negotiations with Saudi Arabia and opec tour was not free market. The federal obstruction of Russian PG&E is not free market.
this is not the operation of a free market. You do not understand what a free market is. Oil and gasoline are not free market commodities.
You keep moving the argument because you probably realize you made a fallacious statement and won’t own it.
Hoax. You contend that the Biden administration has stymied the flow of gasoline to market. Then, when asked what specific policy or policies of that administration has so stymied the flow of fuel, you reference the influence of KSA and OPEC as indicia that gasoline is not always traded in a free market economy. I'm not sure what gaslighting and scarecrows mean/are, but it sounds like you're trying to change the subject because you cannot specify a single such policy that you claim to exist.

Where I live, Washington state, gas is $4.59 per gallon. 60% higher than Texas. One of the reasons for that is we have cap and trade. So oil companies have to buy carbon credits. Those are of course passed down to us connsumers. We also pay $0.68 per gallon in taxes.
This is legitimate point about state taxes that apply to fuel brought to market. Still waiting for the other guy to offer his insight as to the federal policies that have stymied the supply of fuel to the market.

Lots created under the Biden administration. Market is going up. Inflation forecasts going down. Looks pretty good to me. So good that MAGA has yet to come up with a marginally believable hoax as to why it’s bad.

No … here’s how it works. You made an assertion. You were Challenged on the assertion… you can’t support the assertion so you hide. 😂
typical
Hoax.
You said that the government is responsible for high gas prices. I said we operate in a free market economy, so unless there’s some government policy choking the gasoline supply, you’re out to lunch.
Then you expressed your belief that there is such government interference. You also responded with a link to an opinion piece in the Washington examiner that whined about “regulations” and speeches and some other usual Trumpy tripe. I responded by noting that domestic oil production actually had reached an all time high under President Biden, and now outpaces the daily output of Saudi Arabia.
At that point, you engaged in some more babbling about an unidentified policy. I politely asked that you point to a specific policy that has choked the supply of gasoline to domestic markets and caused the price of that fuel to rise. That is, I asked for support for your core point that the Biden administration has hampered the transmission of gasoline to market and caused fuel prices to rise.
You then turtled and have since refused to answer. And here we are. Yet another “conservative” hoax.

Sure…. First explain this. ‘Free market gas price concept.’ To us. I’d love to hear about how free this market is.Nah. You first. That’s how it works. Then we can talk about capitalism.

If you want be be honest, it was your obligation to explain how inflated gas prices were entirely a free market economic phenomenon.Nope. Not at all. Let’s see one of these policies you’re complaining about.

the article I posted remains entirely accurate as was the case when it was written and when prices were at its highest.point being if you believe gasoline prices are driven by free market economics, you are extremely naive. And then the are foreign policy gaffes and other such factors too.
and the current administration is proudly on the side of issues that constrain supply and investment into the fossil fuel industry. Look no further than the Whitehouse website itself. Or are you calling them liars? Or inept?
it was an opinion piece, not an article.I think it was your obligation to point to a specific policy or policies of the Biden administration that has or have raised fuel prices. Apparently there are no such policies.

How many times has McD started a presser with:

I lost count on presser #53.

Why do people think Dunne asked for credentials? He is a National NFL writer. Why would he ask for a Bills credential?
I don't think Adam Schefter has a Bills credential either...He did, and he was denied. Which means the bills had no measure of control over him. Which means he can publish stuff like he did today.
-
a couple of additional thoughts:
1. I bet Bills PR really regrets not credentialing Ty Dunne.
2. Ike McKenzie did a lil’ dirty on Mc D today. Wow.
3. This is a far bigger PR catastrophe than the Doug Whaley presser. It may follow McD forever.

I don’t think one stupid anecdote is a fireable offense, and I firmly believe that part will blow over, but one has to be pretty exhausted/dumb/social moron to think using the work of the terrorists who conducted the 9/11 attacks as an aspirational or motivational device is a remotely acceptable thing.

Not paying 8 dollars to read an article - you can buy books for that and it's a total hit piece.
The top thing is the 9/11 one.
There's a thing about him being pissed about the WRs buying the coach a car and not wanting him to be friends with players. When Brad pitt says in a movie you shouldn't be friends with the players because you need to be able to cut them - its a good point - but when mcdermott relays the same message, he's a tight ass.
Something about him disliking cam newton and blaming him for ruining the panthers. Not wrong IMO - Cam's a selfish dude and made that team about him. Teams win, not players.
McD is totally right about the friends part. However, if he saw where Chad lived (think Paulie Walnuts) and compared that to his own home (think Tony Soprano), then maybe he would have been a little gentler about it.

With all of the information coming from anonymous sources, there is no way to determine how much is true (maybe all, maybe none). Or if this comes from coaches/players still on the team, or from people who were fired or cut.
I also don't find these details to be as damning as many people are going to claim.
For example, the part about Ken Dorsey.... I mean, when a team is underperforming, it's almost always a coordinator that is first to the chopping block. And Sean McDermott can't exactly fire himself. The decision to get rid of Dorsey was the right one. Sure it wasn't the best timing, considering the Denver game was blown by the defense and a special teams penalty. But the offense had been struggling for well over a month, and wasn't showing signs of turning it around. Something needed to be done to save the season.
I'm also shrugging my shoulders about the stuff criticizing McDermott's personality and coaching style. None of that matters if the team is winning. Bill Belichick is a dictator in a hooded sweatshirt. When the Patriots were winning Super Bowls, the "Patriot Way' was considered the best example of how to run a franchise. Now that Tom Brady's retired and the team sucks, he's a hardass that nobody wants to play for. Meanwhile, our previous coach (Rex Ryan) was a friendly and charismatic player's coach... and he got criticized for not being structured, organized and enough like Belichick.
No way for most of us to determine whether it’s true. The Pegulas, however, can conduct such things as exit interviews and get people to talk.

That’s kind of the point. That was a judgment call. I probably would have let it go, but I can see how a reasonable mind concluded otherwise. It was fair.
The Toney issue was not a judgment call. It was black and white. He lined up offside.
I’m sure the chiefs would have had a problem if Leonard Floyd was lined up a foot offside on 4th and 15, affected the throw and, not previously having been warned about misalignment, was not penalized for that action. The complaining about a factual, obvious, and non discretionary ruling that went against them is poor sportsmanship and they come off as a bunch of whiners and sore losers.
