Well I certainly appreciate you putting it down to reference later. and also for outing yourself as a Dolphin's fan Just two follow up questions, if you are so concerned about how teams are winning re: Bills, how can you look at Tua's performance and think that offense is going to produce enough to win these games? Or should the Dolphins expect a defensive and special teams td each week? If you care so much about performance, I would think you would look at that Dolphin's game and say yikes they were far outplayed but got some timely turnovers that produced points. 6-0 > 4-3 4-0 > 1-3 1-0 > 0-1

Please put your projections on paper for us...

This is just an amazingly not high football iq sentence. The Bills are 6-2 and have a head to head win against the 4-3 Dolphins. Win/Loss record and division standings are literally the only data that matters.

My post was entirely tongue in cheek directed at those that keep moving the goal posts. The idea of a signature win is a dumb one imo. That said the back to back wins against the Cowboys and Steelers on the national stage, in games the Bills normally lose, was the turning point for this franchise imo. They went from the "get right" team where struggling teams would figure it out to a team you didn't want on your schedule. The Browns used the Bills as a get right game last year and in previous years so would the Patriots this year. Thankfully Justin Zimmer came through or this Monday would suck a lot more!

Psshh The Seahawks defense isn't that great and it is a home game for the Bills. If they win that one it will be because of those 2 reasons. Then it will be winning the Cardinals game will be a signature win.

Good. Glad that is settled.

How about credit for the game winning kick? I get it and it's mostly tongue in cheek but not surprisingly it's crickets on Bass. Glass half full last 2 weeks: Scored all of the teams points in a win and then kicked the game winning fg. Glass half empty: Missed 2 kicks. That's it, even if I was trying to be negative.

Game winning fg yesterday. Might not have been with the clock running out but it still stands. 3 for 3 xps and 1-1 fgs. To update: Bass is now 10th in points scored by Kickers Bass is tied for the 12 most xps kicked. 2 of the 11 ahead of him are perfect on xps. 2 have missed 2 or more and the other 7 are tied with him with 1 miss. His 5 missed fgs is tied for 2ns most with Matt Prater (proven kicker) and Ahead of Gostkowski (proven) If people are going to rag on him when he struggles, can he get a little credit when he does well?

Couple of mental errors from josh stepping out instead of throwing it away and the pick....

Literally nobody would mail documents like this. They would be scanned and emailed. Is anyone buying this?

Was going to guess 4 as that was kidds number but ill go 84 for the year he was drafted.

As a holder he did. I think bojo still struggles with getting the ball appropriately placed. 8 reps sunday hopefully helped him gain some confidence!

Practice reps for the kicking unit. Seriously. All 3 of them got live game action and reps. Hopefully it helps going forward. The defense - 10 points and 4 yards for the 2nd half are both numbers to hang their hat on. Hopefully they continue to bring pressure. Epenesa sighting. They got the w. Not always gonna be pretty but a wins a win.

Shortened your quote to these 3 items. 1. For starters the hash marks are much wider in college. Secondly the ball is a different size. Those are 2 very big differences between college and the pros. Mechanics and repetition are always going to be helpful and the kicking unit got a lot of practice yesterday. 2. Kickers are always up and down. Dan Carpenter comes to mind. Couldn't miss for the fins, couldn't make, got cut, signed here and went through the same thing. 3. Of kickers with at least 15 PAT attempts this year (Bass has 18) 5 of 22 are perfect for the year. Harrison Butker has missed 5 of them! Bizarrely his main struggle is the 30-39 yard fg which is in the range of a PAT. He has missed 3 of his 5 kicks from there. He is 6/8 from 40+. So it depends where the kick is from lol. I have said it before and will say it again here. I would love someone to do a deep dive on Bojo's holding and the kickers make %. It seems to be ajob they gave him as a punter that isn't especially good at. At least 3 of the missed kicks by Bass were not "laces out." It is something worth watching but I'm not freaking out. yet.

I have long held the opinion that this is what Ernie Adams focuses on. The minutia pre-snap of body language, stance, etc... to be used as visual cues for NE defenses to key on. He also identifies weaknesses in players or something akin to tipping pitches qbs may do. All of course imo but I think it explains why NE is always so prepared.

I agree with all of this and want to expand on some of it. Shaq, Jordan, and Lorenzo were not just starters. They were emotional leaders. Philips and Lawson played with an edge that the defense is lacking this year. Zo brought the leadership that also appears to be lacking. Josh Norman had a quote after the Raiders game along the lines of coach kept saying someone needs to make a play and he said I will make a play. After the game it was celebrated but it was a little peak into the team. It took a FA signing on the back end of his career to take charge and bring the edge. Where was it from the "leaders?" Tre and Poyer just signed new deals with plans to be around for a while. They should be stepping up as leaders not taking stupid penalties while the game is still within reach. Agree about the schedule. They are facing a much better group of QBs this year than last. It is what is helping me keep my sanity after the last 2 games. It sucks they lost but the 2 teams area combined 10-1. Those are good football teams. They didn't get beaten up by scrubs. Injuries are certainly a factor. Last year was a really lucky year in that regard and the facilities got a lot of credit so fans expected that luck to continue (I was one of them not gonna lie) and it hasn't. Phillips signed for 3 years 30 million. Shaq got the same. We gave that money to Vernon Butler, Quinton Jefferson, and Mario Addison. Regardless of the obvious Carolina connection I feel like they downgraded. To be fair it is more players, less money, and less years but I feel like both Jordan and Shaq brought something to this defense that I have yet to see from the 3 new guys. I hate to use this word but the defense has been soft. They have been pushed around and physically dominated. I would hope/expect to see some fire when this happens but I haven't yet and that to me is the most discouraging part.

If it was indeed a cursory meeting that happened 6 years ago it would become a got ya game. As vp do you think he would remember every single person he shook hands with? Saying he never met him, someone producing a photo of the 2 shaking hands, and he has egg on his face. Do you think a quick hand shaking would probe something nefarious? Of course not. However a denial followed by a picture would be an incredibly bad look. There is a legally blind gentleman who "is pretty sure" it was Hunter Biden. Have you looked at the information? It raises more questions than answers. Are republicans really gonna fall for the same thing the dems did last election cycle?

That's a dangerous game to play. By that logic, Trump has yet to denounce the russia paying to kill american soldiers info so it must be true. It's october every news story on both sides needs to be taken with a boulder of salt. The laptop story is certainly more than a little fishy and doesn't pass the smell test at all. Doesn't mean it isn't true just means that barring actual evidence, I'm not buying it.

Just refilled my wife's insulin last week. Still the same price as it has been. I appreciate the move but wish it wasn't just a symbolic move and wasn't sold with a lie attached (pennies a day before anyone asks). Insulin cost is a very real issue for millions of Americans. I won't call it a triumph though until there are actual verifiable results. I did some digging and came across this: https://www.factcheck.org/2020/09/viral-post-wrongly-ties-cost-drop-to-trumps-prescription-bill/ “the administration hasn’t implemented any of the executive orders the President issued in July,” she told us in an email. “There’s a voluntary insulin program that’s going to go into effect next year (which is to say that it isn’t in effect now), but it will only assist a subset of Medicare beneficiaries.” That program begins Jan. 1, 2021, and will apply to “a subset of plans and enrollees, and not all insulin products have to be covered by all participating plans,” according to a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis. It does not affect costs for people who are uninsured or have other coverage. The centers already provide a sliding scale based on income, though, so how much the costs would go down for those recipients depends on how the Department of Health and Human Services ultimately defines “low-income.” and this: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/insulin-pennies-a-day-trump/ What's True Trump issued an executive order in July 2020 that was intended to lower the price of insulin for some Americans. What's False Rather than targeting all diabetic patients nationwide, the directive was written to help low-income diabetes patients of certain community clinics, who are uninsured or underinsured, to buy insulin at reduced prices. Also, no verifiable evidence suggests that the lower costs would amount to "pennies a day" for anyone. What's Undetermined Exactly how much money some diabetes patients could save on insulin daily as a result of the directive is unknown because the order did not outline specifics, including when or how it would be implemented. So to recap, in regard to the claim in question, it was true to state Trump signed an executive order in July 2020 that aimed to make it easier for low-income diabetic patients to pay for insulin. But nowhere in the federal document did the presidential administration explain its plan for implementing the change, nor the level to which insulin prices would drop. There was no proof that the order would allow any American to someday pay “pennies a day” on the protein hormone.

This situation has such an easy solution. Right now the league needs to put a bye week in at week 12 where there isn't one currently. All games that need to be rescheduled can be played then. Another bye week added in at week 15 would solve all other issues. Any game without playoff implications from weeks 16, 17, 18, and 19 will not be made up if needed to be cancelled or postponed. An additional week tacked on the end of the season should be a last resort as rest right before a playoff game for some and not others would be unfair but used if necessary. The league needs to stop acting like it can't just add weeks in. Any games that are played will get spotlight and attention. Additional weeks of revenue will offset any losses incurred from extra bye weeks. They are robbing Peter to pay Paul and it is only week 5. No way they make it through without adding extra weeks imo.

If packing the court would make you mad if the dems did it, it should make you mad if the republicans do it.... Put differently, if you disagree with an issue it shouldn't matter which side is pushing that issue forward.

Can't write the obituary for this game yet...

A couple of years ago I got youtube tv and started watching games a second time. It is very interesting how different my thoughts and feelings are the 2nd time around. During the game I am on edge and excited while watching. That leads to me not being able to concentrate as much. Watching a second time gives an incredibly different perspective that is on par with the difference watching in the stadium vs on tv.

Headline doesn't match story lol. Gabbard wasn’t going to take it lying down and did indeed apologize for referencing the Project Veritas story

I kid but seriously step away from the keyboard. This place has been right leaning for at least the 11 years I have been here. DRs banning has nothing to do with his political leanings as stated in the OP.
