With how much Gase and Darnold suck, who can tell?

A quick glance of the raiders message boards left me pretty impressed. Only a handful of posts parroting talking head talking points about JA that are a year out of date. Their injury list is growing by the day. And they're still shell shocked from their latest encounter with the Hoody. The best thing is that there are no BS posts like "It's the Bills, 41-3 Raiders" Or, " it's the Bills, this is basically a second Bye week". Thanks McD, Beane and Josh.

"With a mere 71% completion percentage and 9.1 yards per attempt, Allen still lacks the accuracy of a refined pocket passer and refuses to take what defenses give him. Shotgun accuracy and poor decision making are the hallmarks of his game." Whenever you want to send me your check, Cian, let me know.

The Cover 1 guys were saying this too. They also said the Rams were bullying Harrison Philips in the run game. They went straight at him on three straight plays for good yardage.

At least McVay isn't getting an extra 40 minutes to breakdown the D. Pompous rams fans heads are exploding and I'm loving it.

So who else just got waaayyy more confident about the game?

Tremaine manning the middle is worth an FG, if he plays. Bills 31 LA 27

Doesn't hurt to put as many people on the injury report as possible. Tom Brady's throwing shoulder is still on the treatment table at Foxboro. Hell, maybe injury reports are finally accurate, instead of jacking everybody up on painkillers and smelling salts.

And if not by the offense or defense, then by coaching or the refs. Jalen Ramsey's been very quiet for some reason. Wonder why that is.

Given all the analysis so far, this one feels like a shoot out. As a snake-bit bills fan, the idea of going toe-to-toe with the opposition's offence isn't something I look forward to. But it sure beats hoping some Bobby April inspired special teams BS will help steal the game from a superior opponent, like in years passed.

Agreed. The snakebit around here is palpable.

It's been 25 years since this team had an offence that could go punch for punch with anybody. It's gonna take some getting used too. That said, I'm ok with a 38-35 Bills win. So's my cardiologist.

Anybody know a streaming service that carries the game? I used up my Fubo free trial last week.

Flores is a good coach all around. Any team that buys in, excutes schemes drawn up by smart coaches and doesn't completely suck talent wise is going to have puncher's odds in any game.

I'm so happy the Jets are coached by a Halloween costume.

It was a very pleasant surprise. Smoke's TD looked like a perfectly called middle screen from back in the Gailey era.

Right? One minute he's making 20 yard touch passes look effortless, then he tries to shoot down Sputnik on a check down.

If only TB stayed in NE and then imploded like he's doing right now...

I'll chuck you a like for the Office Space reference, but no more.

The Washington Red Octobers, and slap a big submarine on the helmet, their colors are red and gold already so they may as well roll with Soviet references so they can stay edgy. Or the Washington Red Scare, and their mascot could zombie Lenin or a family friendly hammer-and-sickle.

We here in the 518 are praying for the day Danny says ***** it and finally mops up Price Chopper. Price Chopper's Market 32 type stores are just knock-off Wegmans anyway.

Listening to the ESPN talking heads and sports hacks discuss Pats cheating for what, 13 years now? None. They have no asterisks, everybody is still the GOAT coach, GOAT QB, and the Patriot Way is How To Run A Franchise.

Martin Luther King Jr wrote on this in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail. It's worth reading start to finish, because he threw down a gauntlet for America to pick up if we want to live up to our founding principles. "I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the *****'s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the ***** to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the ***** passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured. In your statement you assert that our actions, even though peaceful, must be condemned because they precipitate violence. But is this a logical assertion? Isn't this like condemning a robbed man because his possession of money precipitated the evil act of robbery? Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical inquiries precipitated the act by the misguided populace in which they made him drink hemlock? Isn't this like condemning Jesus because his unique God consciousness and never ceasing devotion to God's will precipitated the evil act of crucifixion? We must come to see that, as the federal courts have consistently affirmed, it is wrong to urge an individual to cease his efforts to gain his basic constitutional rights because the quest may precipitate violence. Society must protect the robbed and punish the robber."

Didn't Newcastle just get bought by some trillionaire oil Baron? If he could just plow some of the millions he's about dump into the transfer market into the local economy...
