Doc Brown

No. You're right. NYS is definitely in debt. I don't even believe it was a thought to pay some of it off using the unexpected budget surplus from last year.

Haven't seen him golf but I just assume he has the Happy Gilmore swing.

They're not reducing spending. NYS had a budget surplus last year so they're using some of that to make up for the future lost revenue from the gas tax.

Traveling to Miami on a short week in September is not ideal. We may only win by 20.

I had to look it up because there was no way the Green Bay Packers wouldn't have been favored those first two Super Bowls. Same goes for the undefeated 70's Fins. I'm not sure they even did preseason future Super Bowl odds back then.

Does playing QB for the Browns count?

Odds only go back to '77 so we have a 13 per.......oh boy.

College days three of us would split two buckets with pitchers Genesee Cream Ale. I'm sure I hit 50 at least once. I type this after eating a lettuce wrap with unsweetened ice tea. Getting older sucks.

Compare that to Mahomes ignoring his teammates to find Allen to shake his hand after the 13 seconds game. That stuff matters.

He was great. So was Alfonso Herrera as Javi. If we're going small but memorable tv roles I'll throw out Pedro Pascel in GOT.

Musk is like the Howard Hughes of the 21st century. Multiple endeavors that are awesome but financially risky. Thumbing his nose at authority. Eccentric. Love it.

Outside WR depth. I don't see a player on this roster that can effectively fill in for Diggs or Davis when they need a breather (or get injured).

Tesla was kicked out of the S&P 500′s ESG (environmental, social, governance) index. The most successful electric car manufacturer/seller in the world that has done more for the environment than nearly any company on there. That would be like kicking the Beatles out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because Ringo got caught jaywalking or something. It's insanity.

His fault. He dropped all that weight for no reason and he went from passable to a liability.

I know it was by design as the ‘18 qb rookie class was looked as loaded even a year out. They weren’t specifically already targeting Allen at the time though. You’re right that Beane had to move to 7 in 2018 to grab Allen. The Cardinals would’ve took him. Beane did a fantastic job in a series of moves to even acquire the capital to jump up to 7. The Cordy Glenn move especially. They didn’t do themselves any favors by overachieving in 2017 but all ended well. Not giving up next year’s first was icing on the cake as we wouldn’t have Oliver. I’m just pointing out that we were lucky in the incompetence of the Browns, Jets, Giants, and Broncos that draft.

We lucked into the Browns, Jets, and Broncos passing on him. A lot of groupthink went into that qb class. I was just as guilty.

I'm going to be so confused. WHY IS TARON LINED UP ON THE OUTSIDE WR?

I thought it was illegal this off-season for a good player to sign with an NFC team. Must’ve been a post draft clause.

Maybe 10 years ago before the me too movement, the recent Trevor Bauer two year suspension by the MLB, and a bunch of NFL owners ticked off at Cleveland they gave him a fully guaranteed 5 year fully guaranteed 230 million dollar contract. I think it's anywhere from 10 games to a whole season.

It's not a perfect comparison because they were on different teams in different eras but they did play in the same stadium. Here are Kelly's home vs. away career splits. I forgot how much better they were at home looking at the records. No wonder Vegas used to give the home team 3 points when factoring in the line.... Home: 77 games played - 58 wins, 19 losses. 127 TD's, 88 INT's, 86.3 passer rating. Away : 80 games played - 43 wins, 40 losses. 110 TD's, 87 INT's, 82.8 passer rating. What's interesting to me is even though he had a higher passer rating his completion percentage was better on the road (barely). 59.77% at home vs. 60.45% on the road. That's pry where the ungodly wins at Rich Stadium came into play. The Bills also ran more and passed less at home during Kelly's years. I think when Allen's career is all said and done you'll see similar stats. After last year any weather conditions at home will seem pretty minor to him as he's experienced it all at this point.

Money. There would be a bidding war for them as a pair and they’d become the highest paid head coach and GM in history.

Nothing’s impossible but it’s as close to impossible as it gets to make such a massive screwup like that again. Frazier and Daboll called all the plays last year I believe. Didn’t it take Bill Cowher more than a decade or something to win one?

I understand your point if it was a random shooting halfway across the country. However, you're a little tone deaf considering a lot of people on this board are from the area and may know someone who was a victim or a friend/family member who lost a loved one.

McVay...definitely. He's a top three coach for sure. I'm more skeptical with Taylor who had a horrible first two seasons until last year which I still think was a fluky Super Bowl run.

This is where the randomness comes in. If the obvious pass interference call against the Rams in the NFC Championship game is called correctly it's Pats vs. Saints in Super Bowl. The Bengals lucked out with seeding getting the Raiders and the worst #1 seed maybe ever in the Titans before a Mahomes meltdown in the 2nd half in the AFC Championship game. If Jimmy Garoppolo hits Emmanuel Sanders on that deep pass Reid wouldn't have his championship. I'm sure there's a faction of 49ers fans who want Shanahan gone which from the outside looks crazy. There's too much luck involved to fire a consistently winning coach based off playoff heart breakers. The only exception is if a Marvin Lewis who couldn't win a playoff game to save his life. The law of averages will eventually get a team that goes to the playoffs every year that usually wins their division a Super Bowl championship. Until McDermott consistently proves he can't provide that only then do I think a new head coach is needed.
