Totally different topic. I'm a HUGE Stones fans. Saw them twice. Once in Rich, once in the old Schaefer Stadium outside Boston.

Some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Yeah, Duke, Abacab, and Genesis were the sweet spot for me. Before that was too abstract. After was too MTV pop. That said, The Lamb Lies Down is still a favorite.

He was in bounds. That's all that matters. He'll learn.

And you’d be one freak injury from ****ing yourself for YEARS.

This. Put the MVP season on the shelf, and go out there and drag the team with you kicking and screaming. It’s the only chance we’ve got this season.

Karma is a b!tch

Pray for a swarm of locusts to descend on the field and leave only a pile of helmets, pads, and cleats.

Bosa/Benford strip sack scoop and score was the play of the game. Never looked back.

Haven’t read through all the comments, but awesome effort committing ti the run, when it seemed like they were overdoing it. Twice, after two great runs, we try a third on a first down. Would it kill them to try a play action pass? But what the hell do I know.? 😆 Go Bills! Get hot again!!

While I kind of agree, interpretations drawn from “watching the game” are subject to interpretation and bias— we see what we want to see, good or bad. Data *should be* objective and show trends of areas of the team that are most detrimental. There ARE too many stats to try to make heads and tails of. Good statisticians can identify the “vital few” that are predictive of success — turnover ratio for example.

I kind of agree with this in the sense that I think Beane and McD are generally very focused on drafting and signing FAs who are "process", i.e., "culture" guys-- good citizens, potential leaders, but not necessarily the best athletes, because they believe they can coach them up to be good/great at their position. I understand the philosophy, but I think there needs to be exceptions made for some key positions.

Josh is one of those unique talents that when he makes a mistake, it's amplified by a factor of X. I've lived in the Boston area for over 30 years, through all the Super Bowls, and witnessed the same thing about Tom Brady. He'd throw a pick or fumble (yes, it actually happened) and people would be dumbfounded-- must be someone else's fault, he's a unicorn, etc, etc. Fortunately for Brady, he had SB success early in his career, and didn't have the same weight of expectations hanging over him his entire career. Deep down we all know it-- life isn't always fair.
