Dennis Lock, who's photo doesn't appear on the team website near as I can tell, is "Vice President of Football Research". Maybe you spotted Cole Jacobson, football analytics guy late of the University of Pennsylvania, who is a "Football Research Assistant" for the Bills?

@GunnerBill. How's your "softzone" bingo card looking today?

Ha, yeah. We've got collegial boards like the Stadium Wall...and Xitter spamming dittohead influence operations like PPP.

I loved the Jackson Hawes TD play. It was entirely Hawes using his initiative. He's not supposed to do anything but block. So after he blocks his guy into oblivion for four-ish seconds, he's like, wait, the play is still going on? Something's wrong! So he sort of walks underneath the uprights and shows Josh his numbers. Of course nobody on Cinci is assigned him in coverage because he's been blocking for a football eternity.

I also doubt our RBs will piss away two touchdowns, but I'm a glass half full guy.

The username makes sense! All of the above. Exactly, football is a distraction and a welcome one

2025 McDermott is a kamikaze compared to 2019 McDermott. IMHO, his biggest failing is stale ideas on defense, but I'm not a big enough film nerd to support that with specifics. He seems like he's trying to run a much more aggressive, pressure-based scheme than our roster is tuned for, especially in the postseason. Bosa may be the only DL player who is authorized to get pressure on the QB as their first priority, instead of gap integrity.

Great pull. We used to watch this all the time in college. Back when the internet was a place that was funny and made people happy.

Better yet, let's trade them before their value tanks.

Pretty much our entire peace plan, its goals and the strategy for achieving it have been online since May. If there's any notable differences between this and the course of events... No wonder there's no peace yet.

Is the ref's last name Hochuli?

The Bengals podcasters are having the exact same discussion after a loss as this thread is after a win. Almost word-for-word. "Zach Taylor without Joe Burrow is awful!" This is insane.

Didn't watch a single second of the game on TV. It helped to be driving home from out of town.

"The worst team to ever win the Superbowl" is something I could live with.

Duly noted.

Alright college kids, let's matriculate the ball down the field! Georgia v Alabama is decent so far.

If they don't have to, so much the better.

At this point, we're paying him $350k to not play against us in the SB, possibly. $350k is to Terry Pegula what $10 is most of us. ***** Slay.

And from FIFA! The biggest Qatari chode guzzlers on the planet.

Wildcard is Josh's mindset. Hopefully Playoff Josh locks in, like he usually does and banishes some of the screwball decision-making he's had recently.

Interesting point regarding roster building philosophies. I went back and did a quick dig on the Raven's post season record in the Lamar Jackson Era, along with the number of Ravens selected to go All Pro and/or Pro Bowl 2018-Lost in the Wildcard to the Chargers, 3 All Pro, 4 Pro Bowl selections. 2019-Lost in the Divisional round to the Titans, Lamar's first MVP year. 6 All Pro, 13 Pro Bowl selections. 2020-Lost to us in the Divisional round, 2 All Pro, 7 Pro Bowl selections. 2021-Missed the playoffs. 3 All Pro, 5 Pro Bowl selections. 2022-Lost to Cinci in the Wildcard, 3 All Pro, 7 Pro Bowl selections. 2023-Lost to the Chiefs in the AFCG, Lamar's second MVP year, 6 All Pro, 8 Pro Bowl selections. 2024-Lost to us in the Divisional round, 6 All Pro, 11 Pro Bowl selections. In the Lamar Jackson era, the Ravens have missed the playoffs once, been one-and-done'd twice, and made it to 1 AFCG. With a roster that usually has more than it's fair share of Very Good to Elite players. So long as you have an MVP level franchise QB, "Solid and Deep" seems to beat "Stars and JAGs" in consistency over time. At least in a Bills/Ravens comparison.

Seems like the ideal game for Kromer to take a sledgehammer to a crummy run defense. And let Joe Cool seethe on the sidelines.

Gentleman's disagreement then. The only team I'm worried about in the playoffs is the team we can never beat in the playoffs. Otherwise, I can live with "Any Given Sunday", but *****in A we should win it all.

Sounds like the typical Bar S experience.
