He did. They went from red hot to zero degrees Kelvin. (I'll find my way out)

I agree. If you look at a number of games last year, before the Bills piled up points, whether by great offense or turnovers, their defense was gouged by big running plays. Watch the last New England game in the first half. I'm concerned about two things from the late season games, even though we won most. Run defense and Levi Wallace.

Wait 'till the Lions start "kicking you in the teeth," and "biting kneecaps off." That will set the standard.

I've always thought he was a bit too amped up at the start of home games, but he has also had to deal with high wind games at OP and that influences stats as well. Seems homes games the last two years were more windy than in the past.

I think there's a clear reason why the Bills offense looks the way it does, and features a lot of come back routes. Josh has a reputation of being a great running threat. DB's don't want to turn their backs on him because it makes it so easy for him to take off. They keep receivers in front of them and allow the comeback routes past the sticks frequently. Diggs had scores of these catches last year, since the easiest open zone is the area you just ran through. Simply stop and come back. Josh has the skill to hit these routes outside the hash with relative ease. I think being forced to keep the receiver and Josh in the field of view because of the run threat is a huge disadvantage for opposing DB's, and really quick receivers like Diggs and Beas benefit, especially in scramble drill type plays.

Strongly disagree. The Bills were better than the Giants and should have never lost that game. They were clearly inferior to the Redskins, who led the league in scoring, were the second fewest in points allowed, and blew through the playoffs with an average 20 point margin of victory. The Bills were not close to that level. Tasker himself has stated that was the best team he'd ever seen. Cowboys were better both years as well, just not by as much, but better coached and disciplined.

I doubt there is any bad blood. He is in camp and this is a nothing story.

You need to be above about 45,000 feet to see the curvature of the earth. It is clearly evident at 50,000'. Mt. Diablo at about 3800' isn't going to get that view.

We kind of think the same about the way you "choose" your king/queen. JK.

Shhh. It's Area 52.

Immensely unlikely. Same thing happened with Darnold and others. Jets and their top picks seem to have issues with bonus payouts and other last minute minute details. I'm sure it will get done quickly and he'll be in camp really soon.

I wasn't going to comment in here, but....Oh well. The standard formula for line of sight, which solves at what distance one can see things at the same level and not be impeded by the earth's curvature is: 1.22 times the square route of altitude. It's what is used in strike planning to avoid radar detection. If comparing two items at different elevations, such as when determining if the top of two buildings can be seen by each other is: D (distance)= (square route of 2h) + (square route of 2a). Expressed in statute miles. h is the object which is "looking" at expressed in feet. a is the object you are trying to look at expressed in feet. D is expressed in statue miles, height of h and a in feet. Earth elevation differences should be taken into account as well. Further reduced, this formula is: D= 1.414 x ( square route of h) + (square route of a).

Biles out of team competition.

He signed with the Rams. People have no idea of family situations or other factors that cause career decisions, but in the long term, it is in the organization's interest to accommodate a player/coach friendly posture. Lures free agents and coaches. No problem. We'll find another.

He had no leverage. It appears that he wanted to be somewhere else and it was in the Bills' interest to let that happen. They aren't indentured servants, and it is worth getting someone out who doesn't want to be with the org.

The comment made was that they only "wanted guys who wanted to be here." I think Bojorquez wanted to get back to the west coast. See ya.

Also space related. If any interested in astronomy, Saturn has been really bright overnight. I was able to see the rings using my Celestron binoculars overnight. Tonight I'll use the telescope for a much better view.

None of those states have an NFL franchise. DC is smaller, but they are a three state franchise and a much, much bigger market than Buffalo. Though I haven't lived there since college, I love my hometown and the passion of it's fanbase, but it can't compete with a place like Miami for free agents, not in the demographic of NFL players. I despise Miami, but it is what it is.

No. There is a pressure differential until the weight is on the gear. Once that happens, the airplane knows it is on the ground and opens the outflow valve, reducing the psi differential to zero. Only then can the doors be opened. It also pre-pressurizes to a small degree on takeoff. A few other things as this thing winds down. Regarding this specific event, if someone messes with a door, depending on what they do, there will be an alert message in the cockpit. A screen will pop up showing which door is not safely latched. Depending on a number of things, and how that alert is judged, could cause a number of other actions. Second, airline crews are taught to never assume that one event in the cabin is a solo event involving one person. One misbehaving passenger is not assumed to be the only thing going on.

It is neither. It's just that the exact same post was quoted and responded to earlier. Sorry you took it as a slight. I have no personal nor snarky emotions about anything or anyone here.

What? The door is opened on every single flight. That's how the good folks get out. Airplane pulls up to the gate. Gate agent pulls the jet bridge up. Flight attendants disarm the slides at each slide equipped door. Agent bangs on the front door to indicate bridge is in place. Flight attendant signals with thumbs up through the window. Agent opens the door from the outside, which is way easier than doing it from the inside. On landing, without going into boring detail, the cabin depressurizes. It actually does this gradually as part of the descent schedule so you don't blow heads off when you land.

That was completely covered in a post 10 hours ago.

Here is a direct quote from the union website. Again, not from me. "I happen to know the FO on this flight very very well 🙄 There is a lot more to the story that isn't being reported. This case in particular was much more a mental health situation than it was a simple ornery passenger from our Group Nine Flying Club. The FAs (#1 in particular) did an outstanding job." Just to explain how this stuff happens, after 9-11, law enforcement the FAA and industry reps got together to form policy/procedures to respond to various levels of passenger misconduct. As one climbs the bad behavior ladder, based on very specific behavior, stronger responses can occur. They don't have to, but they can. Very specific training is conducted on this issue. This lunatic lady did at least two things I'm aware of that cause her to be in the top category. If this woman wasn't restrained, it is quite likely something worse could have occurred.

I don't think you get this, just as you didn't get the stinky passenger thing or the cancellation because a group of kids refused to wear masks, insulted flight attendants and refused to cease playing profane music when requested. This woman attacked a flight attendant and was messing with the door. You don't try to operate a door, whether the primary entry doors, over wing hatches or the cockpit just as you don't mess with fire extinguishers, emergency O2 masks stowed overhead, or various things in the restrooms that you don't need. If you try to damage something you are going to be restrained, and for good reason. These people are not stupid and they train for these events at every recurrent training cycle as well as get constant updates on these kinds of things all the time. You may have an "opinion," and that's your business. They kind of know what they're doing and having anyone out of control on an aircraft is going to get responded to and hopefully before the passengers respond because that's how things get out of control. Let professional mental health people on the ground judge her mental state later. While she was not going to able to open a door inflight, she could certainly damage it or the emergency slide inside. You don't walk into a restaurant or movie theater and start messing around with things that don't concern you an are not your property, and you certainly are not going to be permitted to do that on an airliner.

How are you going to depressurize the cabin? No chance she was going to get the door opened.
