    That's an assumption not fact. They specifically said this off-season they were going to overlook every position this year to see how we could improve (within reason)

     

    Why are you assuming they have not talk to that guy? Why are you assuming that the guy wants to come to Buffalo for the money available?

    If you are looking for a few laughs, try "Cunk on Earth" on Netflix.

     

    The concept is a "know-it-all" journalist named Philomena Cunk, who is doing a documentary on the History of Civilization......the only problem is that the "journalist" is actually incredibly stupid and self-centered....and comedy ensues.

     

    I've actually laughed out loud at some of the ridiculous things she says and questions she asks these very intelligent experts on  History and Ancient cultures, and the answers these poor experts have to try to give her(they aren't in on the joke and try to answer her questions as seriously as they possibly can!).

     

    It turns out that this actress has been doing this character for a few years over in England, but its the first time Netflix has aired one of her "documentaries".

     

    Anyway, if you like that kind of humor, its definitely worth a try. 

     

     

     

    Agree. It's very amusing. She never comes close to breaking character. 

     

    The actress is in Ricky Gervais' "After Life" - which I highly recommend.

  3. McDermott. He met ridiculously high expectations, only three losses by eight points, overcame numerous internal and external challenges and still favored to win the SB.  

     

    Daboll and a few others are worthy but McDermott is most deserving.

    Shanahan is on his 3rd QB and the team is better now than they were in September.

     

    Shanahan deserves high praise and has an outstanding system, but overcoming QB injuries might have more to say about Garrapollo.

  4. I'm not a "game show" fan, but "Taskmaster" out of Britain is great fun.  

     

    It may be a stretch to call it a game show, as it's not taken seriously and it's all for laughs. Five comedians compete to win ludicrous "tasks" judged by the "Taskmaster," Greg Davis.  Since nearly all the tasks are taped, the possibilities are endless (up to season 14). 

     

    Every season is on Youtube. The episodes are 45 minutes and go by fast. Each season you meet five new comedians/actors. Some of the contestants remain in an Andy Kaufman-ish performance art, but sometimes you're not sure.

    I don’t see this as much of a negative for Cincinnati.  Our pass rush isn’t good at all. 

     

    This ESPN stat says Bills are 13th in pass win rate. Five in yards per attempt. 4th in overall DVOA, 8th in pass DVOA. I'd say the pass rush isn't too shabby.

    I agree with all you said. I just look at what was said about Miami all week " 5 of their Oline was out or banged up. Burrow is greater than Thompson. He's going to hit quick passes over the middle all day and it's going to be a problem. I'm not saying the Bills are going to lose or amy of that but I don't think that any roster issues cinci has is going to be any real advantage to the Bills. 

     

    Yes, the Miami had OLine problems and the Bills took advantage: 

    • 3 plays, 2 yards
    • 2 plays, 2 yard, interception
    • 6 plays, 10 yards
    • 10 plays, 38 yards (FG)
    • 8 plays, 18 yards (FG)
    • 4 plays, 8 yards (FG)
    • 4 plays, 18 yards (TD)
    • 3 plays, 4 yards
    • 3 plays, -9 yards, interception
    • 4 plays, 13 yards
    • 11 plays, 75 yards

    That's TWO successful drives out of eleven. The others were gifted by the offense. An almost dominant effort. 

     

    Of course, Burrow and his receiving corps are elite but if I'm a Bengals fan I'd be very concerned about the state of the offensive line. If the Bills can stop the run and get pressure with four, then the Bills will let Burrow take the short, quick routes. 

     

     

  7. - IMO, the top story all week will be the state of the Bengals offensive line. Right now, it Cincinnati could be down three starters, including both tackles. 

     

    - The Ravens defense is great but even so, the Bengals could not run and their pass protection was poor. 

     

    - On their first possession of the second half Bengals scored a TD (and added a two point conversion) to go up 17-10.

     

    - This was their first possession after LT Jonah Williams got hurt. They drove 83 yards for the score. 

     

    - However, after that possession, the Bengals went:

    • 3 plays, 8 yards
    • 6 plays, 13 yards
    • 3 plays, -1 yard

    Three possessions is a VERY small sample size but if it were the Bills, most would find it disconcerting.

  8. Miami's D-Line is very good, Josh often held the ball a beat too long and the play calling was erratic.  However, the lack of consistency along the offensive line is puzzling.  I didn't expect the healthy line to be world beaters, but they seem to miss assignments and the pass protection got beaten on a regular basis. 

     

    Having said that, the run game has been at least average to good, the Bengals, while very good, aren't nearly as deep on the DLine, Dorsey can call a much better game and we know the line has the ability to raise its level of play.

    93 % liked it.     7% didn’t.  
     

    guess you’re a 7 % er 

     

    Fun movie for me, gotta rate on a scale as they don’t make good movies anymore 😂

     

    I liked Knives Out. It's an old fashion drawing room mystery with good characters and nice plot. I was disappointed I settled on the murder long before the end but I appreciated the attempt.  I think Glass Onion is poor imitation. C+ at best. There wasn't much of a mystery and the murderer (again) seemed obvious. Not much of reveal and process to uncover the murderer and overall the story was too contrived.  However, I hope they try again because I like Daniel Craig's character.

    Dude, the backlash about black hobbits and elves was literally about black hobbits and elves not the timeline.

     

    Nope, it's because it's just not good. They could not replicate the aesthetic of the LOTR. Despite its budget, it felt like a cheap knock-off, poor script, weak characters and not worth the time. I wanted to like but just thought it was a waste of money. 

     

    I feel the same about the new Games of Thrones.
