Mr. WEO

there's absolutely massive pressure on the Bills to at least get to the AFCC game.

he meant "everyone but those guys"

I thought that was an enema recipe...

That's a picture of the "COO"...

And Mike White is the best QB on the Jets roster right now. The 49ers QB job is Purdy's at this point. Put his performance against Lance's, such as they are right now, and tell me why Lance should start.

yes a rookie in 2021--I mentioned that. You're right about him already being named the starter week 1 once (this season). Lance's problem is that every other QB on the 49ers roster is better than him. Jimmy G went 7-3 and Purdy is undefeated and fresh off a blowout playoff win (in some rain).

no business? They made $470 in revenue with an operating margin of 83 million. The value of the team has gone up 360% in the past 10 years. They just got a (mostly) free stadium deal. The Bills are a very good business for the Pegulas.

Rookie Allen replaced a terrible Peterman at halftime in week 1. There would have been no one to replace Josh after 6 quarters. Lance had the luxury of riding the pines for a year in Sn Fran---and in his second year when he got the call (when Jimmy G went down), he looked worse than in his 2 games as a rookie. However, the 49ers had another option---and the last drafted rookie who was immediately far better than Lance. So your comparison is inappropriate. You think the 49ers should just give Lance the starting job next season because he cost them so much? I'm glad you're not the Bills GM...

still a bum

Roger that. so that usually is the greenlight for a third!

nothing to twist. maybe you should start a thread that discusses what you are discussing. Something like: "Coaches make halftime adjustments in every single game somewhere other than the locker room, amongst themselves, in the few minutes they have together after the OC comes down from his booth and drives his golf cart in to the home team's tunnel" That would give you the traction you are seeking, I bet. his career died that day, I remember... why would they wait until halftime to do that?

years ago, maybe. He has no magic for that team---his myth for some reason is strong here at TBD.

The thread is quoting a player who said it's a myth that coaches and players get together at halftime and make adjustments---many in its public likely assume this was a real thing (that's why he was asked--read the link). Another posted link quoted a HC who said the same thing. You blundered into attacking Manning for something he didn't say and now you keep trying to change the topic to make your point (which no one is refuting anyway). I get it. You painted yourself into this corner--unforced error.

"he has never put together a game plan or strategy." No chance this is true. It's far easier to assume that he spent a lot of time with "Tom Moore" coming up with next week's Offensive plan--why wouldn't he? I bet Moore depended on it. Anyway, very clearly, this is a thread about a player saying players and coaches never got together in the locker room at halftime and made "halftime" adjustments. It's not a thread about what the coaching staff does in those few minutes amongst themselves. You are spending a lot of energy refuting something that Manning didn't say.

First, he was commenting as a player. He said he was never involved in any halftime adjustments with the coaching staff. So whatever a few of the coaches talk about in the few minutes they have together isn't what he is discussing. Second, his coaching staff was mostly Dungy and a guy named Tom Moore. If you think Manning, maybe one of the sharpest QBs ever--and a guy who had seen every Defesen ever conceived (and made his own adjustments--famously---at the line of scrimmage), never helped put together a game plan or even an adjustment in game with his staff----that is completely unbelievable. There is no chance this is true. he's ok. just mumbles mostly.

he has zero pretension

"The Legend", indeed. A single season in Buffalo. He's had 3 top 5 Defenses (scoring) in 20 years in the league. Frazier has had 3 in the last 4.

Manning is the funniest guy in sports broadcasting right now.

fixed it for you. people often stick with an error far too long for the wrong reason. Anyway, I think the chance that Lance steps into the 49ers game this weekend and performs at the level his replacement has (since his first start) is zero point zero.

the tackler is the guy with the full head of steam "gunning" for the returner. as he blows past the blocker, the blocker typically only has time to push him in the back. This shouldn't be a penalty.

i wasn’t aware of laws limiting commercials.

Murph is a tough listen at this point in his career, but Brown is like listening to some kids calling the a Brighton High School game--all excited with voices cracking and canned lines. he's rough during the daily One Bills Drive broadcast.

Sky Net? huh?

yeah, kinda... anyway, where you live, do they force you to watch all of the commercials? even if you don't want to watch them at all?

Has any other player in Bills past generated so many threads debating his value to the team? After every game, a slew of them: "great game!" "he misses a ton of plays, not worth it" They are going to pay him and it will be more of the same until they trade him.
