The Saudis are really bad guys. IMHO, up there with the Iranians, Russians, Chinese. However, they are "our" bad guys in the Middle East much like Iraq was to us in the 80s. They do what the Israelis and Jordanians won't do. When somebody in Iran needs to go, we call Riyadh. That's why absolutely nothing will be done about this matter. We didn't do anything about Saud involvement in 9/11 and we don't care how many civilians they bomb in Yemen and Qatar.

Oh, I don't think they will even make it to the US border.

Won't end well for these folks. They won't enter the US and will probably have to march right back from wherever they came from.

All good. Enjoy it. It's happened before in Buffalo. (October 11, 1998 against the same Colts.)

https://news.avclub.com/ready-your-bubblegum-john-carpenter-says-they-live-seq-1829814082 Article sums up my thoughts well: "It’s hard not to be excited for either project, though perhaps we should be a bit more cautious, what with Hollywood’s proven inability to recreate the magic of Carpenter’s best flicks." The out of the box casting of Piper helped make this film special in retrospect.

I remember him more for Office Space than Beavis and Butthead as time has gone on. Office Space was a gem. Funny, full of quotes you still here people drop today, memorable characters. I'm glad they never attempted a sequel.

Mike Judge is an underappreciated talent.

Isn't backup QB one of the best jobs to have in the NFL? He's making millions of dollars, doesn't take all those hits, can have a long career ala Derek Anderson.

"It'll be different this time, they said..." Spoiler alert: London and/or Mexico City will give them the same heartburn.

The only car chase that rivals this classic is the one in Ronin. If you haven't seen it, it's quite exceptional in technical execution. In some ways, the Ronin chase beats Bullitt for two reasons: 1. Considering the complexity of the scenes, zero CGI was used. Real cars, real drivers. 2. While Bullitt was largely shot on nearly empty roads in and around San Francisco, Ronin was shot in and around Paris, across different infrastructure (roads, streets, tunnels) with both traffic and pedestrians. That movie came out in 1998 and there hasn't been a single film since that's rivaled the car scenes.

I don't think he and his unit coaches are on the same page tactically or strategically. You have a junior OC and veteran unit coaches and I can see communication problems there. You can have all the blue chip talent in the world but if you have a coach who is having a difficult time teaching the vision and design of the offense to your line, you'll have trouble on Sundays no matter who the personnel is on the field. Regardless of the outcome of the season, I expect the OC to remain and he will get to pick new OL and WR coaches for 2019.

I think it stems from frustration - three of four losses were winnable games against "ok" teams. In two of the loses, parts of the team didn't show up at all. The Chargers are the only team so far that I don't think the Bills would beat even half the time in 10 chances. They look put together.

Benjamin because his attitude sucks, always has sucked, and will continue to suck. He has a loser mentality - despite given inordinate opportunities to succeed in Carolina and Buffalo, he decides not to take advantage of them and that I cannot abide. Peterman is terrible but he's trying and that's the lesser of the two offenses.

The helicopter must have FLIR equipment. Can't see anything at night without a spotlight or that. Interesting. IMO the "person" at the end of the show has to be ex-Savior (and probably female).

Stubborn loyalty to players and coaches who don't perform will be their demise, not the technical details on any given Sunday. If you're truly a "process uber alles" guy, you're letting your WR and OL coaches go and you're cutting guys like Benjamin for his attitude and Peterman because of his play.

In my experience, younger kids seem to dig the 90s Bills colors and "look."

Trump has a 50% approval rating. It doesn't matter who the Democrats put up in 2020 if it's that high at this time next year.

Wouldn't it make more sense just to relocate the team elsewhere in the United States if the JAX market isn't a viable one? That plan of his is so stupid.

Not entirely sure on that. Based on the news articles about that operation in Michigan, it appears all the children were residents of that area that were declared "missing" by somebody who cared about them enough to call the police.

Have you had to use them? How'd they work?

Crossed my mind reading about the US Marshals operation in Michigan yesterday that found 123 missing children in a single day. They were looking for over 300. I realize children go missing for many reasons but the fact that they were looking for 300 unaccounted for children in one county alone is alarming. I'd think a single missing child is a big deal. Would you support parents having the option of implanting a GPS tracker into their children? The tracker could only be turned on by law enforcement and upon turning 18, the child could have it removed, no questions asked. Would even such an idea work to cut down on human trafficking in the United States? Thoughts? You're clearly trading off freedom for security with the concept.

Amen. It's a dying art. Many schools don't teach shop or home ec anymore. Home Depot had to assemble instructional videos on how to properly use a hammer. The guys here are already more mechanically inclined than say 70% of the population under the age of 40. Looking back, they were probably the two most important classes I ever took in school. Shop taught me fundamentals about tools and repair, which included a section on vehicles. I remember learning how to change wipers, use a jack, what the oil numbers mean, etc. Home Economics taught me basics about cooking, laundry and how a checkbook works.

They are lucky they aren't 0-5 because of that defense. They should be looking for safety or cornerback help because they have some pretty good QBS coming up (Newton, Brees, Goff, Alex Smith and Manning twice) that will cut that secondary off at the knees.

With that guy it's 100 percent mental. You saw effort in that preseason game against Carolina, paycheck collecting since. I don't understand it because he gets a great free agent deal if he plays well this year.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Gruden quit after this season, especially if he ends up 2-14. The signs are there. I could see him "transitioning" to GM. Bill Cowher was smart to never come back. The game passes you by and coaching is a young man's game today in the NFL.
