I don’t think you need a Mensa membership to recognize that making tells public is a bad idea. He did something in the obviously bad idea category. Obviously bad, to anyone. I’d have to know him to understand why it wasn’t obvious to him, or, of it were, why he did it anyway. My human nature guess? Exuberance and the desire to be recognized for savvy and cleverness. You don’t have to be taught that publicizing a tell is a bad idea. You figure that out, yourself. Despite that reasonable expectation, you’re taught it’s a bad idea just in case you don’t figure it out on your own. Hairston flunked at two levels. BTW, most insightful post here points out that if Hairston knows, Andy Reid’s team knows.

“bailing them out of their own chaos” is perfect. He takes time to think. He correspondingly gives Reid time to think. Reid thinks better.

Andy Reid is now designing a back breaker. “He called a time out? Really? OK, gather ‘round.”

Hoecht is going to be a seven quarter free agent.

This game will be remembered for Mahomes throwing incomplete on fourth and 17 but

Steroids will do strange things to your muscles and tendons.

Bernard is lost. He looks like a house league 13 year old defenseman skating backwards for the first time.

I’m no coach, but I believe McDermott doesn’t feel the time pressure on the other team’s offense as much as he feels the time pressure on his defense.

LOL, Worthy looked slow.

I like this post bye defense.

We can argue all day about the Bills’ receiver talent, but when you have to throw behind the line of scrimmage on third and long, you have a problem. It’s no longer a “style.”. And yes, we have to do it. No one would call that an NFL first option for third and long. Especially when it’s such a predictable part of your offense.

What’s the protocol? Do you retire the number 24, first, or put Bishop on the Wall of Fame, first?

Well, they’ve invested in Lewis, Andreessen and Ingram. Only Georgia and Penn State have more, with four each.

The fan base has had pitchforks and torches out for three years and the Bills are their current most hated foe. They’re aware of the whole “Allen’s your daddy, meme.”. Nothing, and I mean nothing, of value is coming to Buffalo. Generally, I am not a “never trade in the division, or conference” guy. Miami can’t afford to unless it completely disregards the fan base. Of course, the fan base isn’t exactly priority one when deciding a trade’s value. I just don’t see a brand new, or interim, GM sending talent to Buffalo during his first week.

I’m not posting to dispute, but to add layers to my thoughts. Both coaches were involved in roster construction. I’ll give Tomlin a head start, but McDermott’s had nine years of construction time. Both coaches develop talent and put them in position to be All Pros. I like Tomlin’s outcomes. The two are remarkable leadership personalities. Tomlin’s a general you’d follow into battle. McDermott’s a life mentor you’d want your children to know. Tomlin shaped Raheem Morris. We’ll see who McDermott gives us. All three men are special. Jimmye Laycock coached both at William and Mary. Laycock also played for Marv Levy, another leadership personality. Laycock is a special person who raves about both men with profound respect and affection.
