Lot of info in the /r/Aviation megathread here:
-
Apparently the #1 engine fell off the airplane completely on the takeoff roll. Also heard from a buddy at UPS that they were on a 2 hour maintenance delay for the #1 engine before they left.
- that would explain why the flames on the wing were so massive - not engine on fire, the fuel just gushing out of the wing, wonder what that does for systemwide fuel pressure
-
Headed to Honolulu, so massive amount of fuel onboard.
- MD-11s have a recurring issue with known, unknown problems. Phantom electrical stuff that comes and goes. They throw what parts they can at it until it powers up and send it, they have done this for a very long time. Lots of parts cannot be sourced, most is "refurbed" stuff that is not ever up to OEM spec - which wasn't great to begin with.

These types of posts are always weird to me, did he think before he held out for more money "let me take a second to appreciate the fans" so strange
Yes. Over and over. His timeline is mostly him saying "#BillsMafia" with red and blue hearts. And he NEVER held out.

Was the board down for anyone else? I got excited that some big news hit and crashed the board, so raced to check other outlets, but... no.

Beane could be willing to trade away our next 14 picks, but we dont have the cap room to bring on anyone else.
I'm not excusing the inaction. I'm as frustrated and bummed out as anyone. But "want to" and "can" are two very different things.

Colts putting a LOT of faith in Daniel Jones. But OK!

It has mainly been on defense. But I agree it is a coaching issue. McDermott has fixed the 3rd down defense since taking over. But the lining up incorrectly is still happening and it can't happen.
We've had our fair share of illegal formations on Offense too. And even one on special teams, and burned a TO on ST this Sunday with Hancock lined up Offside.
Get it together, boys

Agree. The other defensive timeouts on Sunday were necessary because we are still having regular lining up issues. But the 4th and 17 one felt unnecessary to me. And it definitely gave them time to dial something creative up. That said.... there were still two major execution errors that led to that play working for the Chiefs. Lots to fix on that play.
That is a coaching issue too. It's multiple players across Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. And across multiple weeks now. Gotta get it fixed immediately.

I don’t care if he’s a shoe-in, first ballot HOFer, he is not a fit for this team. Or most other teams from the looks of it.
Luckily he's more of a thumb-in guy. If he were a shoe-in, Josh would still be walking funny.

But he has some rings, and some few people are infatuated with that. Guess what, if McD had a ring or two, they would still be complaining just the same, but they’d lose that handy arguing point they enjoy so much. That is as obvious as the sun coming up each morning.
Keep battling those windmills

You ever been around dudes from the Marine Corps lol and they carry literal guns
I refuse to believe he crossed the line into full S.A./r-word because hes alive. Not kidding when I say I think a man doing that would be literally killed in a lockeroom... I dont care how much they've mellowed out over the years
Read up on what Charles Haley used to do to guys in the locker room, and he's still alive and somehow beloved.

This is one of those few times the GM should consult with players even beyond the franchise QB.
Get Josh and the OL together, and if they are ok with it, then there you go. If there is a single "no" vote, then it's a no.

Decent point, but Wilkins is no Marchand.

I would’ve loved to see the reactions of those calling for a punt if it was blocked and returned for a TD. Methinks they’d be singing an entirely different tune. It’s the 36 yard line, guys, it’s FG or go for it. No coach is punting 20-25 yards there.
For what it's worth, OP is the only person I've seen post that they would rather have punted. There may be one or two others buried in this thread, but for the most part, even among us McD skeptics, we're in agreement that kicking the FG was the right choice.

Like it or not, many of the actual players that played in the game have moved on. People that like to live in the past and wallow in failure are doomed to be unhappy by nature.
You just described 99% of Bills fans after what this franchise has done to us over the years.

Honestly if you're still complaining about 13 seconds in the year our Lord 2025, seek therapy
Like it or not, it's McD's current legacy and will remain so until he wins a Super Bowl. If he never does, that will be the main thing he's remembered for.
Instead of lifting the curse, he just adds to the pile of Wide Right, 4 In a Row, Music City Miracle, etc

Going to paste this from another thread because I think it's interesting and want to see what other people think...
One thing the morning show mentioned that wasnt factored as an option: Josh or Cook taking the snap and running straight back for 65 yards and take a safety. We did something similar in a high school game back when I was playing and it sealed a victory, but we were pinned back on our own 15-20yard line, so it was easy to get to the endzone. If Josh/Cook makes it, it probably kills 20 seconds of clock and then you punt to KC with 5-10 seconds left still needing a TD. But if they somehow get tackled at like the 5 or 10 yard line it becomes the worst call in NFL history. Still an interesting option.

It's a violent contact sport. It has been riddled with injuries since it started 100 years ago.
It seems like there are more now because we live in the information age where everything is tweeted and talked about on mutliple TV shows and radio shows, etc. Plus, we are actually diagnosing the real injury and giving players time off to recover. It used to be "rub some dirt on it, get back in. oh, and you'll never walk right after 35", now we diagnose an MCL sprain and give the guy the proper 4 weeks off.
I do agree that the widespread use of PEDs doesnt help things either, but those are just replacing the injuries that used to occur due to historical ignorance.

What are they saying about Reid in KC. He made some flubs too.
Reid's multiple rings and track record make it a bit different discussion.

Is pinning the Chiefs in their red zone with no timeouts and little time with the way the Bills D was playing really "playing not to lose?"
Not really, IMHO.
As we've said and disclaimed numerous times, there wasnt much difference in the choices and we were setup with a strong chance to win no matter what.
That said, out of all the options available there, punting and giving them the ball back is the "weakest", "playing not to lose" move. Going for it, or going for the FG points are both the more aggressive, playing to win decisions.
Punting to them with 27seconds left, with what they've proven to be able to do in 13 and 16 seconds, would've been the weakest move.
But good news! McD chose right. Analytics be damned! He went with his plums instead.

I've seen different numbers on twitter. Will try and dig out.
I can imagine different sources may see it differently, but I'm going off what was discussed extensively on WGR yesterday, and those guys are at least usually pretty well sources/cited.

Pacheco really isn't doing it like he used to and has to be a disappointment for the Chiefs. Availability is the number one concern with him but his effectiveness is far down. He isn't getting it done and maybe starting to wear out.
A lot of their team seems this way; slowed down or ran out. This isn't the same as guys like Chris Jones who just doesn't seem to care; this is Karlaftis, Tranquill, Bolton, and Chanell. Basically, their front 7 is spent or vastly underperforming.
I hope so, because I have a real concern about Pacheco coming back and looking like Bijan/Falcons against us in the playoffs.
Let's take a second to appreciate James Cook
