If the Bills turn into a dynamic winning team and Josh Allen is the real deal, they will be a significant draw. The Bills of a few years back were not that.

Welcome and great story. Perfect avatar, btw.

So, Chandler says Mayberry and GoBillsDallas comes up with pin up retro kitchen nostalgia kitsch. (No complaints, but the turkey is going to get cold I think.) Now let's just take the Boys to the woodshed on national TV and it will be just about perfect.

Yep. Writing them off, just terrible.

You and Hapless going back and forth is the PBS of football talk. Really good stuff.

I sorta wondered if calling folks idiots was a copywrite infringement, but yes, life is so unfair. John Brennan explains this every day as he rakes in a large salary to propagandize the ignorant and culpably imbecilic.

He's over in the PPP forum generally being wrong there as well.

The White House also controls Google, MSNBC, and CNN. Boy, folks are idiots.

I recall hearing that he literally represents Hollywood. They'll probably give him an honorary Oscar for his dramatic portrayal of what he wishes Trump had said to Ukraine.

Yes, I know. My point was that the debased ideological worldview either embraced or nihilistically employed as a means of manipulation by those running the show cannot sustain for a prolonged historical period even sham civilization.There's only so far technological mastery can take you. The cosmos is much more mysterious than a mere positivist, utilitarian scientism can grasp and eventually the attempt to build a coherent society around such a limited understanding of reality with the proviso that one allows innumerable individualist, subjective "add-ons" so long as they don't interfere with the dominant power structure (i.e., "liberal tolerance") will fail. The snowflakes are not capable of institutions that truly allow for human flourishing, achievement, and tradition which properly understood is not a sluggish, reactionary instinct, but the passing forward of vital principles that permit memory and imagination to construct novel futures that maintain the authentic goods of the past as living realities. So, in short, I don't think "they" will be around centuries from now to spew lies and dim-witted fables. Either civilization will have recovered or we will fall into a dark ages incapable of supporting even the simulacra of academic life.

"You have a republic if you can keep it." The historians who will conclude this farce a permanent blemish on Trump are a hypothetical lacking consequence. We are, indeed, already mainly technologically sophisticated barbarians, but if civilization in any substantial sense persists generations into the future, the institutions of learning will have had to renew themselves with respect to truth and the integrity of inquiry. If that happens, the scourge of history will be the decadence of congress, the absolute cynicism of the chattering class, and the corruption of ruling elites pandering to a debased, demotic appetite for a simplistic ideological world picture. The real villains are the wealthy leftists engaged in an oligarchic will-to-power that abuses the Constitution for political expediency.

Tom Brady must have bet the Texans.

Don't worry. Lots of weird folks here. You fit right in.

Look, isn't it obvious? He broke the moral law by defeating Madam President and then he broke the law of the Deep State Constant which is practically the same as gravity and then he broke the law of ingratiating himself to the people that count (i.e., not the flyover deplorables clinging to religion and guns) and finally he broke the law of surrender which has been the GOP appeasement policy since Reagan left office.

I'm notoriously bad at getting links to work, so maybe this won't. The list starts at 32 and works up. I kept expecting the Bills to show up anywhere from 20 upwards. Turns out they have Allen and the team listed as eighth best. Don't know who their experts are, but this is one of the more encouraging assessments I've seen. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/future-qb-rankings-rating-all-32-nfl-teams-situations-from-worst-to-best/ss-BBX3mdv?ocid=ientp#image=26

Funny in a dark, bitter way.

I am perfectly fine with your kind of critical spirit. You're one of the posters I always read because you have insight and interesting comments. This is quite different from the kind of crusading negativity that rubs people wrong and there is a lot of that.

Ahh, you know he's pulling double shifts here for all the folks disappointed Josh Allen had a good game.

OP begins "Against a team he was supposed to put up good numbers against, Allen comes through." After briefly giving relevant statistics it ends, "He was calm in the pocket, went to his 2nd and 3rd read, put a lot of passes right on the money so the WR could get YAC, beat the blitz on a number of occasions, used his legs when the opportunity presented itself, and he didn't throw an INT for the 5th straight game. The young man is growing as a QB and that should be evident to all." Neither the tone, nor the substance has any connection to the idiotic hyperbole with which you conclude your assessment. Ridiculous counter-narratives don't work that well when everyone can read the original.

Some folks on this board are not going to like this. OTOH, they probably won't be here for most of the week.

Go hibernate. Okay, you can stay up, but right to bed after Walt Disney. (This will not make sense unless you are old.)

It's still an equivocal situation that could go either way, but some folks who are habitually a downer on Josh Allen are certainly more invested in being right than hoping to be proven wrong no matter what lip service they may give to the latter. I think nearly all who support Allen are not "irrational fan boys" which is a cheap, ignorant defamation. Most are aware that Allen needs to improve and show consistency, just as they are aware that Daboll is an uneven, perhaps below average OC and that the talent, while upgraded, is still lacking. Year three should be determinative. RIght now, I am happy to see progress, hope for consistency, and enjoy that we are mid-November and playoffs are still plausible, though not at all certain.

Yes, yes he is . . . and you are a cultist for finding fault with it.

A number of folks will tacitly admit it by being scarce this week.

Yes, I know. Only when Trump does something precedent becomes a unique, treasonous event.
