  1. not saying you are wrong, but I believe the officiating in game 2 was really critical. The Bills should have but didn’t reciprocate by grabbing and holding in the same way on defense. I get why they didn’t— when you are trained to play within the rules, you just don’t or can’t easily deviate. But I will say that in the AFCCG, the Bills just got flat outcoached. The schemes on both sides of the ball were totally wrong. Daboll seemed like he was probably too distracted with interviewing— but that offensive game plan was really dreadful. I believe the talent gap isn’t as wide— but the coaching has to be a lot better.
  2. in all seriousness, would have liked to see how these teams matched up or the refs called it the same way as they did in the super bowl.
  3. honestly, I would probably be making the same justifications and excuses if I were in your shoes too if my team collected a lot of troubled players. you just got to own it. The Bills wouldn’t sign Frank Clark or Tyreek hill even if they agreed to play for free. The chiefs like the value they get in more high risk players, and feel like they can manage the risk. They do a nice job at it too— that said, if Mahomes gets injured and the chiefs go like 6-10, it becomes a lot harder to keep the bad guys in check. Winning covers over a lot of the bad stuff.
  4. welp, stinks for us, but what are you going to do? Plus, I would put it at 50/50 if he even goes to college. Sounds like he might be exploring G league and semi-pro options.
  5. maybe sour grapes by me, but what is the point in playing in a Pac 12 program like Oregon? Unless you are a west coast kid, I really don’t understand it.
  6. One of the many law abiding players on the Chiefs…
  7. They could have built the new stadium when the team was bad. Now that they are finally good, we might have to be displaced from our home/home field advantage during construction! Go figure.
  8. Agreed. Didn’t they learn from the playoffs last year? We can’t have a passing offense and play in 30 MPH gusts in December and January.
  9. When did Star ever get this sort of media attention?!
  10. This is like a Joe Klopfenstein type transaction history.
  11. This. Though even with an injury, it’s a long shot. My money is on him never playing football again. He blew it. Decided to hold out with the Steelers and basically ended up losing a great situation there and some of the prime of his career.
  12. Reminds me a little of a Darrell Revis PR I saw live when Revis was in college at Pitt. Makes you realize how athletic these elite corners are— they could probably all be pro-bowl level punt returners if there wasn’t the injury risk of putting them out there.
  13. welp, there goes that Pulitzer nomination for this article.
  14. i wasn’t a bulls fan, but how you can not admire that team? Just an absolute killer dynasty with the GOAT Jordan. what’s amazing is that even though they won 6 titles, they easily could have won 10. They lost out on the 2 during the Jordan mini retirement. And then Reinsdorf got cheap at the end with Pippen— they re-sign Pippen, and they are probably looking at another 2-3 titles. No one was really seriously contending against those Bulls teams, and those titles were there for the taking.
  15. Logan Thomas fully credits the Bills with developing him into a TE. I will find the article where I read this— but he pretty much admits he was totally lost at TE, but the Bills laid the foundation for him. I just suspect the Bills couldn’t wait around for him forever to break through. edit: here is the article—- Thomas caught 19 passes in two seasons with the Bills, 2017 and '18, and had 16 catches with the Lions in 2019 before his breakout season with Washington. He said the help he got in Buffalo from tight ends coach Rob Boras, tight ends Charles Clay, Nick O’Leary and Khari Lee, and defensive end Jerry Hughes was invaluable and a big reason he was able to make progress. https://www.espn.com/blog/jacksonville-jaguars/post/_/id/29245/logan-thomas-an-example-for-tim-tebow-in-transition-to-tight-end-for-jaguars
  16. I am not a huge Star Wars fan, but watched all the movies with my kids in the past few months on Disney+, and sort of got into it a little. we started on mandelorian (about 5 episodes in). It seems okay, but I have been sort of confused by it— seems like a bunch of disjointed events of mando carrying baby yoda around. I was expecting a more coherent and compelling story line. But maybe it gets better?
  17. The book was a lot better than the movie, IMO. Same with all of Lewis’s books.
  18. I am with you re “the great escape.” Any time I see that on TV, I have to stop and watch.
  19. I am sort of amazed that this thread has had so much play. That Tuel/KC loss still stings. I was a big Tuel fan, and, as I recall, someone slipped on that pick 6 or it was dumb luck by the wrong defender (I forget the various excuses I had for that play).
  20. There should be a special thread for "movies you have to always watch when on TV." My cousin vinny, Shawshank, and Godfather 2 are on that list for me. Same with the movies "The Holiday" and Christmas Story when played around the holiday season. As for the movie I have watched the most, just look at my screen name!!!
  21. Not in coast guard. We spend a lot of time on a smallish like— about 400 acres. The wake boats have really taken over, and it is a headache. If someone wants to kayak, sail, water ski, even jet ski— the wake boats really cause a headache. Maybe they have a less of an impact in a huge lake. But on a small lake!!— I am worried about the erosion and disturbance of the properties plus the pain in causes others on the water.
  22. you left off wake boats— those are the bane of my existence. Create a ton of wake and make it impossible for everyone else around them.
  23. I am with you. to Pat myself on the back, I feel like I started this AJ bandwagon before all the reports came out that he looked to be in top shape: So, I would like to be at least the vice-president of his fan club.
  24. that is smart! The old operator error gets me every time! I was shooting the bull, and before I knew it…
  25. i did pretty well. The one mistake I made was basically after they were done, I put them on a side charcoal grill to sear them a little to get a bark, and I wasn’t paying attention and part of the top burned. Wish I hadn’t tried that, because otherwise they were perfect and fell off the bone.
