    But it doesn’t have to be. We can definitely measure its position. We decide not to. There are other objective things we make subjective. Like delay of game (would’ve hurt us) and ineligible man down field (would’ve helped us). Objective things should be reviewable and would stop teams from pushing the edge. 

    Yeah, the delay of game thing is weird to me.  Why is there not a huge red light like an NBA shot clock?  Either the light is on or it's not.

    Might be tough to make a call especially if there is just enough wind to make the uprights shake a bit.

    Why? The post is where the post is even if it's moving in the wind.  Have a reticle on the lens. Wherever the middle of the post is will be shown whether it's moving or not.  You do get into a question of where the center line of the football is though.  It's easy when it's going directly end over end, but when it's wobbly the center of the ball moves on each rotation.  Though, if we can have a photo finish at horse races where they can see if the horse's tongue hairs crossed the finish line first I'd think we could have a good enough camera to see that also.

    How tho. How is the window shut for 28 year old Allen but wide open for 41 year old Rodgers before the season started???

     

    Why is it open for mahomes into infinity but not Allen. It's a weird talking point that is basically something a complete moron says. 

    Because they need to have things to talk about so you watch and click and comment.  The Bills moving on from Diggs and having some pretty large questions at WR made that an easy conversation to have.  Sort of like having the theory of Aaron Rodgers with the other really solid weapons he has made that an easy conversation to have at the time.

     

    Mahomes just won back to back Super Bowls and started the season 9-0, of course nobody is going to talk about his window closing even though, in reality, that whole team is different without a productive Kelce and he's showing his age.  Reid is 66 and won't coach forever.  Chris Jones is an absolute key to their defense and he's 31 next year at a position that takes a lot of wear and tear also with a massively growing cap hit over the next couple years.  If they don't win it this year you might hear a whiff of that come up because they have a bit of a reload coming too.  They're 9-1 right now but have been whistling through the graveyard quite a bit.  Are they biding their time or are they really just down a tick from their recent past?  They still have a number of difficult games left. We will see.

    That high priced Bengals OL isn't getting done

    They block like they don't like Burrow.

    Bengals post game last week said they don’t put Allen in Burrow’s class.

     

    Similar things have been said by Keith Byars.

     

    I’m more than happy to watch that trash talking, loud mouth organization, “Big Dogs of the AFC” fall to 4-7 with two games left against Pittsburgh. 

    Why wouldn't they say that though?  The Bengals have handled us very well.

    That was the absolute worst drive the chargers could have had. Brutally bad. 

    Seems like both teams are point shaving. LOL

    I was really hoping for another Bengals lose because they're way more dangerous in the playoffs if they make it 

    I don't think either of these teams are a great matchup for us.

    Bungles gonna bungle.

    Many years ago my wife and I came up with a solution on how to choose games.  Usually for the survivor pool.

    "When in doubt, Cincinnati sucks."

     

    She actually said it in her little speech at our rehearsal dinner. 

  7. With all the technology we have these days, that doesn't feel like something that should be so hard to determine anymore. It's not really that complex to put a camera in each goalpost pointing upward with a reticle on the output that shows if the ball passed to the inside or outside of the center of the post.

     

    Cameras are too expensive? OK. You could do the same thing with a laser.  You'd see it hit the ball on its way past with the cameras they already have on the game.

    for sure.  Only other one that really comes to mind is Drew Brees with the (San Diego) Chargers back in 2010 or whatever it was

    1986 Dan Marino

    4746 yards. 44 TDs. 8-8 record and finished behind the Patriots 11-5 and the Jets 10-6.

     

    Keeping in mind those stats at that time were insanity.  44TDs in a year was the second most ever at the time and was only surpassed by Marino's 48 in 1984. 4,746 yards was also the second most in a season ever at that time only surpassed by Marino's 5,084 in 1984.

    Anyone else feel like Romo was really going for KC today?


    He is usually pretty neutral with bills vs chiefs/josh vs Mahomes, but today it's like he was really trying to prove: "Josh is really good but he's not Mahomes"

    If he talked about their "Championship DNA" one more time I was going to vomit. And yes, he sounded more slanted than usual today.

    If Wisconsin’s 2nd half offense had even the slightest pulse…

    ...they wouldn't be Wisconsin.

    They haven't had a QB since Russ Wilson.

     

    Good for Kansas knocking off BYU in Provo.  That's a very nice win.

  11. Sears and Brand Names were the two big ones at my house. Penney's to a lesser extent.  I remember it used to irritate me how much of the NFL stuff was only made for certain teams and it was rarely the Bills.  It got somewhat better when they got good but even then you were better off going to AM&A's. Penney's was decent for Bills stuff in the actual store for a little while. The catalog sucked though.

     

    They have some retroish stuff again. I'd buy the blue hooded Starter jacket I used to have in a hot second.  Homage has something similar, but it's not quite the same. Queen City Vintage has an original one, but it's the wrong size.

    Looked a little better last night. Especially in the 3rd. More gumption than they've shown in awhile.  Cozens play on the disallowed goal was nice to see as was the consistent traffic in front of Binnington.

    And that's what I get for saying something nice about them.

    I'm glad it got me out for those other 2 fights 

    The middle two fights were good even if the outcome of the women's fight was a farce.

     

    Also, my fundamental problem with watching a lot of womens boxing is that they have no power. A lot of the tension of boxing is knowing that the whole fight can turn on one punch, just like the men's fight before it did.  Taylor couldn't hurt Serrano at all apart from repeatedly headbutting and Serrano is the smaller fighter who came up in weight class. Taylor's only got 6KOs in her whole career.  Technique and hand speed is nice and everything, but that's Olympic boxing.  Professional boxing (IMO) isn't about the points. It's about doing damage.  You earn the points via the damage, not just successfully touching the other person a bunch of times.  I'd watch Serrano fight again. I wouldn't watch Taylor. To each their own though.

    My teenager believes there is legitimacy to this fight. I’ve tried to convey to him during the lead up fights that this boxing is WWF-esque and Jake Paul enjoys playing the heel. 

    it’s a massive pay day for Mike. Can’t fault him for putting on a show one last time. 

    Yeah, I just said to my wife that I know that this is Paul's shtick to get more views and clicks, but I also really want to see someone kick his ass. It's quite the conundrum.

     

    I'm sure Mike knows the deal here and I don't expect much. That said, if Paul starts to embarrass him anything could happen.
