Fair point, but as a fan from that era I would contend that Bill Polian and Ted Marchibroda were just as or more responsible for the success during that period from 89-93.

The more I listen to and read about this story, I have drawn a couple hypotheses. This looks to be a very sad, lonely little boy who was speaking sincerely, but was also being grossly misguided by the people who are supposed to be there to protect him. The mother seems to be a piece of garbage, and I’m not overly concerned about the flag stuff. Hell, I see confederate flags hanging from homes where I live in the mountains of Vermont. Doesn’t bother me. Mom is clearly exploiting her son’s pain and misfortune for her own personal benefit. I hope she gets a painful anal fissure. The school has done a really nice job of handling this situation. Both in house and in the public eye.

Don’t get me wrong...I love me a good IPA, but to me drinking IPAs too much is like always having sex with the same woman. Every once in a while you need to stray from your wife (IPA), and pay that scabby whore (Porter, Lager, Pils) you see hanging down by Walmart to hoover your bald butler. Snow day today. Schools closed. I just got back from taking the dog for a long walk up at Killington. Just cracked an Otter Creek Drip Drop Coffee Stout (Middlebury, VT) and it’s amazing. Cheers, all.

Do you think perhaps that his conservative coaching approach may be a reflection of his personnel, most specifically on offense? His QB for example is regarded as a game manager who takes care of the football. I would contend that his gameplans are less of a reflection of him as a coach, and more of what he has to work with. As some have stated...I’m interested to see how he does with a real QB and some additional pieces.

Can you be more specific about all of his mistakes? You are acting as though his game management skills have been horrible. I’ve seen a few instances of less than stellar clock management, but otherwise I think he has done a pretty decent job. What, specifically, is making you think he is doing such a terrible job? That OT punt was controversial, but ended up being the right decision and we won the game.

I have an aunt who is completely terrified of birds. She will have a full on panic attack if one lands near her. My grandfather used to tease her at family gatherings by chasing her around the house with a peacock feather. Ahhhh....family.

Fair enough, but is McCoach not aloud just a little bit of leniency given that he is essentially learning on the job? I think he should be aloud that. Just as you are aloud to be critical of his shortcomings.

First year HC of an overachieving team. Grade of incomplete from me. How anyone can form a strong opinion, either way, is puzzling to me. I will say that the “culture” of the team seams vastly improved over previous years despite the roster being gutted like it has. He hasn’t been perfect, but he is doing some things very well, IMO.

Have him autograph it for me and we got a deal. No way Buffalo gets anything in return for Tyrod. They will release him and he will likely be a backup somewhere.

Plenty of heart on this team. They just can’t move the chains. Plain and simple.

A lot of unknowns here. The confederate flag posts by mom doesn’t have anything to do with the kid being bullied. However....if it turns out that the kid was calling kids the N-word (as has been rumored), and this contributed to his negative peer interactions. To me, that would be a different situation than pure bullying. It’s possible the kid is completely innocent, and then my heart goes out to him. If he was also provoking the situation, then shame on his parents for exploiting him. No harder job right now than being the principal of that school.

What WR (or any player for that matter) didn’t look like a deer in headlights yesterday playing in a foot of snow? I think Zay Jones has a bright future for this team as a slot WR.

Deandre Ayton is a stud. He’ll be a top 5 pick, guaranteed.

If you think you ever want to get married and/or have kids...better freaking hurry up! Raising kids is a young man’s game, and you don’t want to be that Dad at HS graduation enjoying a soft cracker whilst sitting in the corner in your wheelchair

Certainly a possibility, but I will take a Duke loss any day of the week. I don’t care who it is. We need to see how the ACC shakes out.

Retractable Roof stadium. This is just absurd.

He’s flashed on a couple plays, but overall has been underwhelming as a blocker, IMO. Also, didn’t Atlanta use him more in the passing game? Thought he was at least a capable receiver.

Yeah, he has bulked up some, however, he is still slight of frame for his height. One of the main criticisms of Jackson, IIRC, is that he’s come close to his ceiling in terms of his body type. More of a WR’s build.

Uses his binoculars mostly to look at birds, and only sometimes to peep on his neighbor’s wife getting dressed.

....but if it was still warm?

Anyone interested in starting a TBD porn star death pool? I feel like there may be more of these coming.

There are ways to do it without making a show of yourself. My wife breastfed both of our children as long as she could. When we were out in public, and she couldn’t find a more “discrete” place to do it, she had this cape like thing she carried in the diaper bag which covered the baby and her breasts. Breast feeding is a really good idea. Whipping your disgusting breasts out in public mostly to draw attention to yourself is selfish and dumb.

I practice “trickle down” bird feeding. I feed chopped steak to predatory birds all winter long.

Never asks a woman if she is “expecting” without knowing for a fact that she is pregnant and hasn’t just put on a few pounds in the belly area.

I agree the Mariota comparison is bad, but for the opposite reason. Jackson is a far better passer already than Mariota will ever hope to be. As much as it is becoming cliche, Lamar can make ALL the necessary NFL throws. Phenomenal arm.
