Yes, we are all adults, but I also like that we are BY FAR the classiest message board you will find. I dont think about it often, but then go to some other team's message board and they all sound like crass, uneducated, cheap-shot neanderthals because of all the swearing. Those policies definitely raise the level of posting here. JMHO.

Thanks, wasnt so much worried about my example, just curious if there was a behavior I was missing. Like someone bumping all their own topics to "take over" the main page. I've seen that in PPP, but since that's non-moderated I didnt think much of it.

Not to get too into the weeds, but what are the parameters for Topic Bumping to be a bad thing? If there were a couple threads from last week that I wanted to bring back up because maybe something changed, I wouldnt think that's a problem.

As a well grizzled veteran of the Warning Points System, I'd say it's pretty good as it is. My only suggestions: 4. Points should expire after a certain amount of time. 1 year? 5. The poster side of me wants an appeals process, but I know without a doubt that would just be a world of stupid BS for you mods to deal with since EVERYONE would appeal.

Yep, I had said "35-32" is a completely expected score. People just have an issue with the order all the points were scored. Which doesnt really matter.

Dislike

Maybe. Or maybe he pulls a Jamis Winston and takes a safe job with a good team that has great coaching in order to rebuild his image so he can get a real starting spot. Im not sure the market will be hot for Sam if everyone thinks the Jets really damaged him (which they have).

I'm thinking BOTH. Bring in Fitz on a one-day contract so he can retire as a Bill (and therefore go into Canton as a Bill). Sign Darnold to a 2 yr backup deal, let him use McD's cultural stability to get back on his feet for a year, then trade him for a high draft pick. EDIT: If Daboll leaves for a HC job, Dorsey to OC and Fitz QB Coach?

No one has. They only cut to and focus on the last play PI call. Which is BS. Show the non-interception to at least give some context to why the refs might be more apt to throw a "make-up" flag there. And if these "experts" think the PI call is wrong, they should be LIVID about the INT.

Had this discussion last night. Would you rather bring in Fitz or Darnold? My heart says Fitz, but my brain says Darnold.

HALL OF FAME!

From now on, I'm going to refer to the 2nd half of this game as "The Rams blew a 4 point lead"

That thread is from last week and would be Week 3 following these same naming standards. But it is all very confusing. I'd think this week would be "Week 3" since we're discussing teams after 3 games.

Flabbergasted at the sites that have us ranked over the Seahawks. I guess I like seeing it, but not sure that even I can believe that. I'd say 4-5 is about right. And I'm loving it.

Winters first game starting, Ford's first game at LG... Best DLineman (and probably overall Player) in the NFL... Donald gets paid a lot of money to make plays. He is always capable of taking a game over. And that's exactly what he did in the 2nd half when the other option was letting his team get got like little *****. Something for coaches to work on, but this isn't unexpected given our opponent. Got the win and we're on to Las Vegas.

They bubbled. Totally different.

Good stuff.

It's a lot easier to make a team eat some games in a 180 game schedule than in the NFL where every game is a huge deal to the standings.

Titans off the Vegas boards from what I saw.

I give Dan credit, he started making that turn early. Like last year. While I have plenty of issues with ESPN's on-air "talent" (using that term loosely), Orlovsky is one of the more fair analysts. In that, he watches more team than just the Cowboys and Patriots.

They might be able to pull it off against the Broncos this Thursday! After that, I dont see a winnable game on their schedule.

The day that Chris Johnson came out and said he fully backs Adam Gase I said, "well Gase is gone in a few weeks". EVERY TIME an owner has to publicly state to the media that they still back a coach, it's the kiss of death. Because only bad coaches who deserve to be fired would be in a position where the owner has to try to restore confidence. This is an unfortunate development for Bills fans tho. Would love to keep Gase in the division as long as possible.

One surprising fact I heard recently that really opened my eyes to the uphill battle Josh would have to earn the MVP award: To date, Russell Wilson has never received a SINGLE vote for MVP across his entire career. If Wilson hasnt even received a single vote yet, we may just have to be patient before we see our guy properly recognized.

As long as everyone keeps doing what they are doing and staying smart and safe, it shouldnt be too much of a stretch to assume we'll see fans at games before the end of the season. I had heard rumors about the Chiefs game, but not sure that is the right time to test it. Which means we would have to wait until the Patriots game, and that could certainly be interesting. The State left it open to revisit the policy. NY is on the right track, numbers-wise. Keep up the good work up there and hopefully we'll have fans back at the Ralph soon.
