  1. I, as a general rule, don't support increasing government regulations in businesses, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't afraid of behemoths like Amazon and Google.
  2. “When I say neo-liberal, I mean the definition I made up in my head!” Incredible stuff.
  3. This is the only proof Shaq Lawson actually played against the Bengals.
  4. Kill this meme. Whaley was handed a talented roster and screwed it up.
  5. I think I heard a stand up bit about that. Something about how the OT God is his favorite because he can understand a guy getting !@#$ing pissed when he’s disrespected.
  6. Trash person writes a trash book while thinking they are "fighting the good fight" part 1,082.
  7. While this is true, I'm much more comfortable with Nate being thrown to the wolves week one.
  8. Mills was our third best OL when Richie and Glenn were here for years, and now, he's our best.
  9. Watch for the first politician who calls for a gun ban without knowing any facts of this case.
  10. But there's no numbers to support this. Let's look at it. We can even do 2011 Bills. Fitzpatrick that year averaged a YPA of 6.7. The Bills rushers averaged a YPC of 4.9. Fitzpatrick averaged a TD% of 4.2%. The Bills rushers averaged a TD% of 3.0%. Fitzpatrick had a INT% of 4.0%. The Bills rushers averaged a fumble% of 4.0% There is no other way to slice the numbers. Per play, passing has always been more effective than rushing in gaining yardage and points faster. The old adage is true. Pass to score, run to win. Now surely, there are some games where your QB can't complete a pass. But that's not common either. The law of averages supports passing when in a deficit. Indisputably. It sounds like you agree that Cam Newton and Stafford are good, so I won't belabor that point. That's all I was saying, they are good. Not HoF, not elite, just good. And they both put up yards and points.
  11. Um. Yes. Do you think Stafford and Cam AREN'T good QB's? I'm not personally attacking YOU. I'm attacking the thought that you brought up, this one. "The point is, is that actually the best strategy to increase their chances of coming from behind? Amateur armchair analytics says "maybe not" or at least "not always, at the point where teams employ it"." This is crazy. Actually crazy. Implying that running the ball is more effective than passing as a strategy when you are down is basically sacrilege. It's akin to implying that FG's are better to get that TD's. I mean, I'd need to see some hard numbers that imply ANYTHING of the sort before I'd even listen to that.
  12. I think he's trying. RIP to John McCain. For all of darkness surrounding him, I mourn the young man who had ideals, heard the call to serve, and worked to keep this nation great. I firmly believe no one begins their political career corrupt, but that never seems to save any of them.
