OP saw that the Whitlock threads were infuriating folks. The instinctive troll is dull, but opportunistic. So he started his own thread to get in on the action. While possessing an intellect on par with that of plankton, he was able to spin the dim into a thread that is now on its twelfth page, which is a triumph in the eyes of troll kind. Some of his kin have even come over to have a roll in the muck and dumb. As trolls are basically dim and masochistic, needing constant flagellation in order to ascertain some minimal degree of existence, the entire operation is sure to be repeated. Why, airseven and Filthy Beast are simply livid with envy.

I take it for trolling garbage. Other folks have made extensive commentary on the reasons for recent post-season failures. None of them plausibly indicate that Josh Allen is ill-prepared. Nor is accomplishment achieved by a mechanical following of the path that was effective for someone else. The factors that go into winning a SB are too diverse and the game changes regardless, so it's not enough to say Brady did this, why doesn't Josh? A significantly improved Oline will work wonders for Josh Allen. Not dealing with an injury that limits what he can do will make a large difference. Dorsey not being predictable in the RZ calls would be great. I expect all three to give Josh Allen and the Bills a good chance to win a SB, but luck will still play a role. The health of the team will be a factor. The notion that any one player, no matter how talented, can command a SB victory through effort alone is asinine.

Naturally, that's simply foul behavior. I made a joke upthread, but that is not to condone foolish or abusive behavior. Folks who think blotto hijinks is a culture or part of the fan experience are toxic and dim and probably something the new stadium will discourage by pricing out many who habitually indulge obnoxious actions in the name of entertainment.

You know that phrase "iron sharpens iron"? Your iron is going to smash right through his little mush of whiny, dim complaint. He's still going to complain though. All that lucid effort on your part, his answer will be, "But why?"

Says the fella named Bad Things . . . I agree, though. I would rephrase slightly. Optimism can be blind and irrational. Hope, however, is necessary for any happiness, even the capacity to act rationally. A certain daring combined with gratitude is a rare, but winning combination.

510 yards, 4 TD. Victory formation. What a game.

Now here's a fella that understands negative posting. Don't you boys have a union or something? As you point out, this slip shod work is going to reflect badly on the realists.

You're not grasping the cerebral core of the opposing argument. We haven't won a Super bowl. It must mean Josh is coasting. He's got a Hollywood girlfriend, after all, and he plays golf.

Ah, well, OP is a troll of very little brain. You are going to overload his limited cranial capacity if you try to get him to grasp anything that goes beyond "must be Josh."

I agree with almost all of this. Van Demark seems to be strictly a LT, though. If Brown struggles, they will try Ifedi first. I think Rapp is the dark horse on D fella.

Up by three at the half against TCU. I was hoping he'd wear the cowboy hat. He backed it up. Good for him.

Happy Belated Birthday fella. One of the good guys.

So disappointing. I expected more from a Klingon.

And by the same metric, simply being a fan is a "homer." Of course, there are polyanna types, but when hoping for best plausible outcomes is grouped in with irrational optimism, one's sense of "reason" and "facts" is just as distorted as what is abjured.

What's worse, you know that if Elam is on the field doing the exact same thing, the flag is coming out every time.

Excellent explanation. The narrative I have more often heard is that MLB is the qb of the defense and it is too much to throw at a rookie. However, I think your rationale is quite persuasive.

No.

I believe he has to be on the Texans' roster through week 6. I read that somewhere, in any event.

I understand things are in flux, but thanks for the warning I guess. I am not going to assume that signing a veteran RT means Anderson is the fella who goes to make room. Maybe that's how it is. His versatility across the IOL and youth make him more attractive to me than some of the veteran depth who might have trade value.

I am pleasantly surprised they kept Alec Anderson. I was afraid they were going to be knuckleheads and cut Anderson, whilst keeping Quessenberry. Ferguson is the LS. They cut him in order to keep Shorter or Spector on the roster. Tomorrow they both go on IR and Ferguson comes back.

I love Kincaid, but those all seem plausible. Some folks are sleeping on Cook. That negative is going to get annoying, though. The D better be opportunistic and cause turnovers, because that's the only way to balance out the weakness.

It opens up a spot for another player somehow, no?
