Players can have down years.

I think he's been tried and found guilty in the court of public opinion. I realize what he's accused of doing deserves serious jail time but has he ever been convicted of any of the accusations?

The Dolphins are an enigmatic franchise to me. Just can't seem to put the right coach and players together. They have the weather and the money and still have only managed three playoff appearances since 2018 and all three of those were wild card games.

Space Force is essentially trying to operationalize Battlestar Galactica. I'm pretty sure that's the entirety of the white paper on the subject.

He's the Bill Cowher pursuit of the present. IMO, he won't leave Michigan without at least a national title game, win or lose. I think that university means more to him than the NFL.

My parents are both in medicine. Not only was the "magic" of sex presented in clinical detail, the details about STDs were too. With pictures.

She's going to discover that her so-called supporters will forget that she's even in Congress by the end of January. She's also going to discover the Queen B's of the Democrat party aren't going to do any favors for her either.

My gripe with the police is they spend a ton of money on equipment and personnel but not enough on the training. Not only the lack of training but the lack of the proper training. The lack of training leads to panic. When you hire lots of former military servicepeople, the lack of the proper training fails to override that incredible military training to neutralize a threat in the most decisive, fastest way possible. We had a rookie police officer, on patrol alone, that shot an unarmed man five times despite having a baton, the spray AND a Taser at his disposal. While he was a rookie police officer, he was a veteran of two tours in Iraq. In a moment of stress, that military training and combat experience automatically told him to draw that service weapon.

I wouldn't stop there with the gaming industry. Let's talk about the "micro" transactions. Let's talk about the parents letting their children become "career" gamers, competing in tournaments across the country for big prizes.

For the life of me I don't understand why the Democrats do not give Trump his wall money. They are once again desperately trying to win a battle at the cost of the war. It's a win-win. Trump shuts up about his wall and the Democrats can claim they are pro-border security. They get that table chip to negotiate whatever it is they want to do with Obamacare. All it takes is a single case of an illegal immigrant murdering an American citizen, scenes on the televison of a caravan just streaming into the United States unabated or a gunfight between cartels and American law enforcement to turn that into an absolute disaster for the Democrats in the run-up to the 2020 election.

Assad's regime is no shining light of hope on any hill or mountain but the world doesn't need another Libya. As I've gotten older and hopefully wiser, I've thought about the tradeoffs between two lousy choices: keeping a terrible regime around versus removing it and letting the anarchy reign. What would happen if we didn't screw around in Afghanistan in the 1980s? What if we didn't invade Iraq? What if we didn't destabilize Libya? What happens if the West ends up destabilizing Syria?

Hats off to the OP for the dutiful math homework. What intrigues me is whether the FO will change its approach with any new developments in New England. I'd think optimally if you are the Bills, you want to be the heir apparent in the AFC East if the Patriots signal the start of a rebuilding phase. You don't want to be the loser of that arms race because your process says "five year plan" but your window is telling you it's now.

Before the draft, I thought Rosen had a quitter's mentality. At the first sign of struggle, he mentally folds - and fast. There's nothing about his rookie season that has made me change my opinion. On the other hand, I thought guys like Allen and Mayfield were fighters. They will keep firing, won't quit. My issue with Allen is that he'd end up being a throwback to the 90s where he'd throw for over 4,000 yards, barely at a 60% completion rate. I didn't know what Mayfield would do because I fully expected the Browns to send out Tyrod every game if he could walk.

Can you imagine the controversy if Foles pulls off another miracle Super Bowl run?

Retaining Barkley as the backup is a no-brainer to me if Daboll is the OC next season. If I'm the Bills, I try not to outthink the room on this one. With the abandon Allen plays with, it's likely Barkley will see some playing time.

The 2018 Patriots team reminds me a lot of the 1996 Bills.

He is the textbook definition of a system quarterback. He thrives in an Andy Reid system for whatever reason. Pedestrian in any other system.

If you don't need a truck and absolutely want to buy a brand new truck, you may want to wait until 2020 market year (Summer 2019). That's going to be a big year for that segment.

Perhaps they had very valid or personal reasons to decline an interview for an opening in a small fraternity of 32 jobs like it. You'd hate to think ego was the reason.

I don't think his on the field success was enough to mitigate his personality. I always got the impression he was NFL John Harbaugh before John Harbaugh - people eventually are exhausted by the personality. You can be a curmudggeon if you win titles. You can't be Bill Belichick or Gregg Popovich without the rings.

Don't stop at Crossman if you're looking at new coaches. Primary responsibility of a coach:

There is a financial motive on a few sides. Nobody wants to be sued for lack of a better word "executing" a living will and then the grieving family files a suit saying "hey, that's not what our father wanted!" even though dad signed a document attesting to her wants a decade earlier. As far as the hospital is concerned, this is a bell you most likely ring only once, so it's good to trust...but verify. In some families there are a lot of shenanigans around the estate of soon to be departed family members. Some people have a lot of financial motivations in keeping dad alive, others need him dead, etc. The true colors of your family are only ever revealed when your mom and dad pass away. It goes either of two ways: It's peaceful and chill or it's the legal equivalent of the bank robbery scene in HEAT.

I'd agree they'd be the closest NFC franchise to the Bills as a franchise that just never seems to put it all together. To the plus, they've had more capital investment with a very nice stadium. They were frustrating in the 90s when they went to the playoffs six times with all that talent (Sanders, Moore, Porcher, Spielman) and still couldn't get over the hump.

It doesn't count against cap space but I'd buy some new coaches for the OL, WR and ST at minimum. Need far better teachers there. There's a big difference between the shop teacher who makes the awesome work bench and the ones who have students who make awesome work benches. You need more of the latter, less of the former which I suspect Castillo, Robiskie and Crossman are.

They were 100% right on that one.
