I can’t find the clip, but I’m pretty sure Zoot was caught on a hot mic telling Floyd Pepper that you were nothing but a dirty hoe backstage after a show one night.

I’m guessing when he heard the news about Mitch Morse he ***** himself with such force he ripped his pants…

As long as it’s not bad juju Fitzpatrick and his collection of starting QB voodoo dolls…

Toodles... weeeeeee'll miss ya.

Teams have eaten $111M in the last 3 years to NOT have Russell Wilson in their locker room.

It's a strange combination of sweet, syrupy, medicinal, and floral - almost like someone accidently combined potpourri, Jagermeister, a bouquet of flowers and simple syrup in a blender and then upon staring too long in revulsion at this horrifying iridescent green liquid... came to the incomprehensible conclusion... WTF, might as well drink it.

The Saints post-Payton still have (had) talent on the team. They have a talented but aging defense, and talented skill players on offense when Thomas is healthy, Kamara isn't in a courtroom, and Chris Olave's head is in the game. Unfortunately, what they found out this season is, not only is Carr a mediocre QB, he's also a terrible teammate who likes to grandstand when things go sideways AND, despite giving him reasonable personnel at this disposal, Pete Carmicheal is a similarly terrible OC.

What would I, a Bills fan, do with the money? Sign Mac Jones to a $101M/yr contract extension...

If you're a cougar, Zach might just accept...

I don't think this is acknowledged enough. In terms of the natural cycle of team building, I think this was really an inopportune time for that cap "constriction" with respect to the BIlls "growth" and may have had as significant of an impact as some of the injuries as to why we haven't been able to get over the hump in this window.

I suspect by your tenor this will be a futile endeavor, however, here goes... if the only enjoyment you derive from football comes from winning a championship and you are a fan of the Buffalo Bills, then, unless you are old enough to have witnessed the AFL championship seasons, you are suggesting that you have not had a single fulfilling moment as a fan of this team. If that is the case, then you are missing out on a lot of great football these last few seasons. Acknowledging this team has been fun to watch does not mean you've lowered the bar from wanting them to win a championship. Accepting a championship as the only fulfillment you can derive from watching this team, however, seems like a self-torture and a poor use of time spent over the course of a lifetime.

Maybe Chad could go on the Manningcast and discuss his side of it with Peyton...

Watching Allen play QB makes it hard to watch other QBs play QB... everyone else looks like Nate Peterman trying to throw an out to the far sideline now.

So, I looked really quickly to see some of the other occupations... dentist, pilot, HBO films producer, etc... I think a lot of these guys would be making a lot more than $200K working full time at their other jobs.

This seems like a marketing ploy to get NFL fans to use BACtrack. Looks to me like they’re using location services to extrapolate team regions with user data without any definitive knowledge of whether or not the user is in fact a fan of a team in the region. So, for all they know, Miami’s ranking, for example, could be related more to Buffalo snowbirds than to Miami fan.

My problem with this example is, unlike against the Steelers where AJ could be expected to be, and was, an asset against their running game, in his prime he was not a player who could have been expected to cover Kelce. You would expect a HC/DC to have a better plan than to take the guy everybody knew, probably including McD, physically could not do the job and asking him to do it anyway. If that’s the plan then COME UP WITH A BETTER PLAN. It was beyond infuriating in its predictable failure. He should have asked Williams to do it from the start and lived with the mistakes. At least he has the athletic ability to succeed. I’m not surprised at the loss, and I’m not one to carry sports disappointment with me anymore, as I did in my youth. I am exasperated with McDermott, though. In my opinion, this was a prime example of necessity being the mother of invention and he did not even attempt to step up to meet the moment. If you’re likely gonna fail anyway, at least do something to try and better your odds. Get outside your comfort zone. Pull out all the stops. Go down swinging, ffs.

Personally, I think they started that drive thinking they’d need to score twice more to win. Eating 8+ minutes of clock is a lot to ask. I think the 60 yd bomb to Diggs was meant as a quick strike to allow them time after KC scored on them. When they got down to 2 minutes they were kind of in no man’s land. That’s why I think they went for the TD to Shakir when they did. Then a FG doesn’t beat you and MAYBE there’s time left after if (when) KC scores… and maybe, however unlikely, McDermott coaches his ass of on defense for 1 drive and they cook up something unexpected to get THE stop.

Since 2020, the only 2 games they were down by more than a TD in were against KC in the AFCCG, where KC was head and shoulders the better team that season, and the Bengals game, which you could tell the week before when they played Miami that they were going to lose. The constant in the other losses has been a defense that couldn’t close the deal. The Houston game they gave up 19 pts in a quarter and a half, including 2 successful 2 pt conversions. The KC games they were a seive. Even if they had scored in the most recent KC game, which the offense did their part to get them well within FG range, do you have any sense their defense would have held? My issue with the idea that they’re front runners is that it suggests they can’t respond to adversity in a game they could win. I think they can respond, and have responded in games in the past, but that their response is always one sided. They always seem to do enough offensively to keep the games from getting out of hand and putting themselves in a position to win. Thinking about it as I type this… I could be persuaded that they have a front-running playoff defense… when things are good they’re very good… when things are bad, or when they turn bad, they’ve basically been a no show with no hope of getting THE stop they need to slam the door shut.

I disagree with this. Over that same timeframe, the Bills have, from memory, one regular season and one playoff game where they lost by more than 1 score. How many times have we watched Allen lead the team to what should have been the game winning score with less than 2 minutes left on the clock only to choke the lead away. We lose those games because the defense constantly comes up small in big situations.

Was scrolling through. Seemed a bit suspect. Came to the Browns and it wasn’t Manziel… how can you take it seriously after that?

Hear me out here… maybe Beane is such a wizard that he’s pumping up Diggs value so that he can trade him to an AFC rival and watch him light the league on fire at a record pace with Eric Moulds and Peerless Price for the first half of the season until he turns into Frankenstein’s pumpkin and plays the rest of the season like his feet have been cast into the concrete of the foundation of the stadium… wait, I think I have some of the details confused… 🤔

Awesome. They should add a sticker of Yevgeny Prigozhin riding the football on the Jets helmet.

How soon we have forgotten about Lee Smith.
