Crying about her difficult life from the custom-embroidered leather seats of her SUV. Cry me a river, sweetie.

I totally agree with you in principle, but have to support McDermott's decision. I'm okay with being so conservative this year because Josh has reverted to forcing stupid situations and turnovers too much. That last pass of the first half was even more painful then his turnovers and inexcusable for a veteran QB.

Let's say Diggs has a core injury or problem involving the back/chest. Painful and impacts his ability to breathe. Diggs wants to keep playing but the Bills will use him primarily as a decoy to draw coverage and lower the risk of making his injury worse. I could think of two reasons why he comes off on third down: He needs to catch his breath or he comes off so Allen has another legitimate receiving target on the most important downs.

I appreciate ya being willing to listen from snarky beginnings!

The truth is FSU has one loss and the undisputed national champ will have zero losses. The playoff system is unfair to teams like FSU and Georgia, just like it was unfair to UCF in 2017. But UCF showed up for their bowl game and finished the season undefeated and 8 months later the NCAA recognized them as co-champions. No time machines and nutty old man conspiracies needed, Mr. "Logic".

You're the one whining about corrupt old men

https://sports.yahoo.com/official-ncaa-recognizes-ucfs-national-championship-record-book-234835087.html FSU couldn't be bothered finishing out their undefeated season, so whatever blah blah. UCF is a 2017 co-national champion. Considering 1994 as a Penn State fan and the entire 1997 Michigan/Nebraska controversy, I entirely support that undefeated FBS teams should be strongly considered or have a legit shot at the national championship. That being said, I understand the athletes are well within their rights to opt out but many others do not, some even come back for an extra year because they believe they could win it all. And if FSU had competed and beaten Georgia in the Orange bowl I would have supported them as a co-champion as the playoff system is inadequate. But they did not and while I respect their decision to do what's best for them I don't respect the lack of team leadership to finish undefeated. They deserve no consideration for the national championship IMO.

Well, they could have made their case by sticking it to Georgia if they believed in themselves so strongly. Instead, very many of their best players ran away. Unimpressive, and maybe the committee made the right decision. FSU fell apart before even taking the field.

Biggest difference for them is Lamar has learned to hit the receiver when the D comes up to stop his scramble, and he is very good at moving around the pocket to extend a play. McD has successfully defended him in the past but needs to adjust his plan IMO. He runs far less now. The big thing is our D needs to pressure Lamar. They've been excellent at preventing that, so it's critical.

Oh, they would have taken you to the training room and packed you tight. No problem playing.😂

Not an OSU fan, but last night should be the end of Day's tenure. Lose to Michigan, drive your starting QB out of the program with no backup plan, embarrassing offense against a beatable SEC opponent. Buh-bye now.

Totally agree, I wonder if an ankle or knee are limiting his cutting and his routes? It might explain the short screens. Anyone who watches him closely at games notice anything?

How is the B1G or was Pac10, Big12, ACC ( before all this current realignment) any different? I've lived in B1G country since the 80's and continue to hear all about how conference games are so tough and draining, they struggle in bowl games.😂 B1G fans would totally throw out a chant if they won the natl Champs as much as the SEC. UM can prove something against Bama. Or is it like post NFL draft where every fan is convinced this is their year?

😄 That's what professional soccer thought when they made flopping a card-able offense.

Many referees in all the major sports (especially professional) avoid calling fouls that are "trifling", ie. in their opinion not a major impact on play. Some also decide on a given day to set a pickier standard against a certain infraction. All this is of course highly subjective and maddening but that's how it is. Josh, LeBron et al embellish for two reasons: It focuses the refs attention to their "plight" (for future calls). If effective, it forces opposing players to back off. It's smart and can benefit the entire team. Used to hate it, but it serves to create advantage. Cleveland gets upset because Myles Garrett has been held a ton this year but uncalled. It's because he fights so hard through them the refs won't bite. If he ever gets smart and draws a few fouls then he could really unload and break the sack record.

Thanks for setting me straight on this.

I read the free parts of Dunne's series and some of the quotes around here. Not going to pay for that. Dunne makes a point of putting in there early that he's been denied press credentials by the team, but hey no big deal. He speaks with 25 disgruntled ex colleagues and pretends it's investigative reporting? McDermott has no relationship with his offensive personnel. Mitch answered that and so did Josh Allen todayhttps://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/buffalo-bills-josh-allen-sean-mcdermott-relationship-nfl/article_116e7cea-99ee-11ee-8eee-db5236d329df.html For starters. I suspect all of Dunne's sources and incidents are from 2017 and 2019 and there was no investigation, just talking to ex-personnel, taking quotes and treating them as gospel. No opposing point of view. For those who paid for the articles, was there an opposing point of view, quotes or evidence? We already know some of the accusations are completely false. McDermott has changed a lot since the early years. Nate Peterman. Never going for it on fourth down. And this year taking more chances on defense late in the game. He still needs to develop that, but he's doing it. That for me means everything. Growth. He had never been a head coach before this job. He's made mistakes but I'm cutting him the slack. Especially since his current team is standing up for him.

I think our secondary was so concerned with Kelce that the play would still succeed. It was a great playcall.

I believe the thinking was two-fold: try to continue to move the ball to eat the clock and keep Mahomes off the field and the fact that KC's D-line was dominating our O-line at the time necessitating quick passing plays, especially as our running plays were getting stomped in the second half. I would have liked to see them put Allen under center 1st down and play action pass but that's just me. On D, this is one of the first high-profile games I recall McD keeping the heat on the QB late rather than playing extra-man zones that get picked apart. I do blame McD for 13 seconds, so it means a lot to me to witness his different thinking approach this time around. If the Kelce back pass had succeeded, at least Allen would have the ball back with over a minute to work with. And this was a playoff game, not just us winning a mid-season contest against them. Mahomes' Karen-style snit proves that.

Gotta give a shout out to Daquan Jones also. I felt like the D line was noticeably more effective getting after the QB until he got hurt.

Bank statements confirm three payments of $1380 were made in 2018 to Joe Biden (while out of office). 3 effing payments. That's pathetic, keep blindly following your masters. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nationalreview.com/news/hunter-biden-attorney-says-monthly-transfers-to-joe-biden-were-reimbursement-for-car-payments/amp/ What I wonder is why Comer is focused on this when a laundering investigator supposedly found this: "Biden received a $40,000 personal check from an account shared by his brother, James Biden, and sister-in-law, Sara Biden, in September 2017 — money that was marked as a “loan repayment.” The alleged repayment was sent after funds were filtered from Northern International Capital, a Chinese company affiliated with the Chinese energy firm CEFC, through several accounts related to Hunter Biden and eventually down to the personal account shared by James and Sara Biden. Northern International Capital sent $5 million to Hudson West III, a joint venture established by Hunter Biden and CEFC associate Gongwen ***** on August 8. On the same day, Hudson West III then sent $400,000 to Owasco, P.C., an entity owned and controlled by Hunter Biden. Six days later, Hunter Biden wired $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, a company owned by James and Sara Biden. Sara Biden withdrew $50,000 in cash from Lion Hall Group on August 28 and then deposited the funds into her... personal checking account later that day. On September 3, 2017, Sara Biden wrote a check to Joe Biden for $40,000." Sheesh, and 3 truck loan repayments are what the right is worked up about?

I know Pec tears are not a trivial injury. A doctor at work had one and it took many months to fully recover. IIRC he had his arm in a sling for 1-2 months then gradually started doing increasing PT over the next 2-4 months. It was around 6 months before he could really go back to his normal lifting/workouts with it. Not sure how much NFL athletes can speed up that timeline.

1. You forgot to mention Matt Milano helped make him an effective starter by helping cover for his shortcomings. Bernard allowed Milano to become even more effective until the injury. 2. Yep 3. Most people who absolve Edmunds on long running plays ignore the fact that Edmunds dogs it regularly when the play is not right in front of him and refuses to physically take on blocks, preferring to backpedal relentlessly. 4. He put enough good work on film in a contract year for a Chicago team desperate to make a splash after letting a quality LB walk. Too many outsiders watch a couple tackle highlights, look at his physical size, how he called the defense and don't delve into how he actually plays the game. Suckers. 5. Yes, because he abhors physical contact unless he is the only one who can make the tackle. 6. Bernard is a definite upgrade but the FO could have done more. The defense is getting hosed by losing Tre, Daquan, Oliver(short term) and Milano. Not Edmunds. It would be even worse if we had kept slacker Edmunds. 7. Yep 8. What does that mean and who really cares? Making a couple tackles and calling the defense earn him some appreciation but good is not great. Pick a Bears game from this season, type in "Bears vs ________ highlights" and watch the 10 to 15 minute video. Focus exclusively on him and watch how much he dogs it out of his total plays when he should be fighting through blocks, closing to the ball and assisting on tackles. Can't be any more obvious than that.

Masks work, Marr explained, as a filter, not as a sieve. Virus particles must weave around the layers of fibers, and as they do so, they may crash into those fibers and become trapped. Marr likened it to running through a forest of trees. Walk slowly, and the surrounding is easy to navigate. But being forced through a forest at a high speed increases the likelihood of running into a tree. "Masks, even cloth masks, do something," she said.

We're talking winning a super bowl, not some line up good vs bad from the season and go with it. Josh needs to diversify, not become some tame, lame backup quarterback and not be old 100% gunslinger Josh whose habits have gotten figured out. That's how we win a super bowl, a uber-talented QB with a diverse approach to keep the best defenses off balance in the playoffs while being maximally effective for himself and the talent around him.
