  1. Another question. Where would Allen rank in ‘90-‘92. I’d take him over everyone.
  2. I’ve had the same thought. The curse of the database. Signed, Neo The first person with a three letter screen name beginning with an “N’ followed by two vowels reading this while wearing boxer shorts and reclining on a sofa covered by a hand made quilt purchased at a church auction.
  3. Did you see and hear the audience?
  4. QB sneak, QB sneak, QB sneak.
  5. Absolutely. In fact, I’d “prefer” to play the King.
  6. Can I say Q.E.D.? Does that apply to an explanation with as well as a proof? ChatGPT says I can. Yes, you can use “Q.E.D.” after an explanation, though it’s more formal and typically associated with mathematical or logical proofs. Q.E.D. is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase “quod erat demonstrandum”, which means “that which was to be demonstrated.” It’s traditionally placed at the end of a proof to signify that the argument or reasoning has been completed as intended. In non-mathematical contexts, you could use “Q.E.D.” humorously, rhetorically, or for emphasis after an explanation, especially if you feel it resolves a question definitively. For example: • “Since he arrived before the scheduled time, we can safely conclude he’s punctual. Q.E.D.” This usage works best if you’re aiming for a touch of formality, intellectual flair, or even a lighthearted nod to its origins. However, in casual conversations, it might come off as overly formal or out of place.
  7. Because while it’s possible to lose at home, and while every team in every sport with meaningful number of playoffs games has lost at home, it’s generally agreed by everyone in sport that it’s an advantage to play at home. The Bills have lost at home. They are still more likely to advance in home games than road games. It didn’t happen once doesn’t trump it does happen often.
  8. Pretty sure Josh’s “winner” reputation exceeds Saquan’s. Barkley’s having a great year. What Allen did today will only advance Allen’s cause.
  9. A few weeks ago, McDermott put the game in the hands of his offense. The Bills beat the Chiefs. Today, he had a chance to do that by declining the penalty and allowing a shorter field goal. He chose his defense and an extra down for the Rams.
  10. Pointing out that any quarterback throws several poor passes in a row, while not pointing out the spectacular nature of a five TD performance, seems to one of the oddest ‘forrest for the trees’ approaches to analysis i can think of.
  11. For all the doom and gloom, we’re a botched punt away from the lead. That will disturb a few.
  12. I seem to recall a “oh, we’re going to get that Allen” post earlier today. Poster was correct. We’re getting that Allen, again.
  13. He single handily got them there. I’d argue handing it to a RB would be just as “cheap,” although that’s not a word I’d use.
  14. For all the doom and gloom, this a 3 point plus a blocked punt game. I know blocked punts count. It’s closer than the dialogue indicates.
  15. Elam doesn’t play because he doesn’t use punctuation.
  16. Barely got that off, man… so close to delay of game
  17. Nacua looks like an 18 year old playing against the J.V.
  18. You know I was being sarcastic, correct?
  19. Same reason someone would care enough about the question to submit a post about it.
  20. If only he’d have checked down to Diggs instead of looking for the TD to Shakir in last year’s playoff game. You know, if only he’d were safe and easy. I’m here to point out that a really safe decision on one play, that may run contrary to an all world hall of fame set of instincts, makes me feel good in a small, safe, way I’m willing to point it out, too, in post after post.
  21. I am a Buffalo Boy and a Bills forever fan. I visit NOLA regularly for work, now. I love the Saints and the Saints fans. There are a lot of Bills Mafia similarities.
  22. What’s it going to take? A new coaching staff. We’re getting exactly the run defense they want.
  23. Ha, grateful for the acknowledgment! I’m not a fan of ol’ Noam’s politics, but he sure makes for interesting reading. The real shout out goes to @Jauronimo for his original, whimsical, post. I picked up Chomsky‘s Language and Mind years ago. It’s described as accessible. I struggled with it, but “get the several gists.” I’m having conversations with ChatGPT. Artificial Intelligence borrows, or shares, or incorporates some of his linguistic work. Its successes challenge some of his theories, as well. Nerd night. Discuss Chomsky, linguistics and large language models WITH a large language model like ChatGPT. Great man … not my favorite political theorist.
  24. Don’t confuse my decision not to participate in non-sequiturs, moved goal posts, unrelated hypotheticals, character and intellect insults, and the conjuring of similar things that aren’t similar things with inconsistency. It’s as if you’ve sloshed a stew with a blender and subsequently accused me of not being able to identify the ingredients. Now to the kernel and why I didn’t respond. I believe you’re weirdly going down some rabbit hole and may be suffering from Inter-Web-Itis, aka the tendency to confuse issues followed by an inability or unwillingness to simply say that in public. The result is several days of increasing tangential questions and points, none of which relate to the original post. It’s not life threatening, but it probably deserves a cup of coffee and a pause. Other wise known as “when you’re in a hole, stop digging” syndrome. My bottoms line. There’s nothing about your worm hole that’s interesting enough to me to respond. You missed the point in your first response and then came at the missed point from four different directions. If, with notable hubris you cannot see yourself as anything but fascinating to me, I can’t help you. I’m not responding to goofy. I will try to be consistent with that. Good luck on your mission to scrub an internet message board and have it conform to your view of the world. At the risk of sending you into a coronary event, and with the hope of vanquishing the extraneous, I’ll repeat. I would prefer to beat the KC Chiefs with a healthy Mahomes and I prefer to compete against anybody’s “best.” You get to decide for yourself, by yourself. You may alert the media, my physician, local law enforcement authorities, the Wall Street Journal Op Ed page, and the U.N. They’re going to say “so what, good for him.” That might be a response for you consider, too. I wish you health, good fortune and joy. If any of those things rely on me sharing my thoughts on Super Bowl XXV during a KC with Mahomes conversation, you’re on your own for all three. “Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ralph was referring to looking at different things, or manufacturing different things, and then railing at them because they’re not the same. Godspeed ….
  25. I can’t draw any conclusion other than he’s ready to play a lot of snaps, because he did. Effectiveness? Who knows on that field.
