I have zero faith in rookie kickers. I really hope he turns out, because we're taking a huge gamble.

I see us losing: Rams Chiefs Seahawks Steelers 49ers Patriots 2x Finish 9-7. We've been the beneficiaries of extremely favorable schedules the last several years. That likely shifts a bit this season.

Vernon Butler and Phillips shoud fill that role

Yup, I looked at it several years back as well. It's a total joke there as far as comp is concerned.

By every measure, Florida has been a disaster. Comparing it to NY leaves out the most important details that NY was essentially Ground Zero in the US and they had to fight the worst part of the virus blind, learning as they went. They had to deal with PPE shortages and an Executive Branch pushing false narratives and holding a hand behind their back. Florida not only had months of lead time to prepare, but they had a playbook that they could use, and should have known far more of the science than they did. The fact that the virus was less potent and fatal by the time it reached the south, should be absolutely no complement to them at all. It was dumb luck that not as many people have gotten seriously sick/died in Florida and Texas, but the results in both states are far, far worse than they ever should have been.

Nearly the entire world has instituted a US travel ban, and some folks think it's ridiculous that we can't go to football games. What happened to personal responsibility? Earn it.

I meant in a position to stop murdering civilians and backing the play, or at minimum turning a blind eye to other police officers who murder civilians. It troubles me a great deal that you are more upset with having to see a sticker of the name of a first responder who was murdered by the state while she slept, than you are bothered that her killers continue to walk free with salary and benefits paid for by her survivors and all of us.

If only you were directly in the position to fix that.

I supplied you with multiple data points knowing you'd cherrypick to fit your agenda. Go ahead and ignore death rate. Mortality per capita still stands. You can't just multiply the deaths based on population, because it's known that population density plays a massive role, and the impact of it does not scale linearly. Stop pretending you care about the science when you're clearly trying to promote a political agenda. You can't be depressed or addicted to drugs if you're dead. That's not even taking into account the long-term disabilities caused by the disease. People that are going to become alcoholics because they have to wear a mask and socially distance, or even because they lose their jobs, are going to be exposed to countless other opportunities for that through the rest of their lives. You treat those people for the underlying cause of those problems. That underlying cause is not COVID. COVID has directly caused death, disability, and job loss, and those are things that can be measured and addressed. How much did you care about working class people suffering from a poor economy, or those from substance abuse before COVID came around? If you actually care about fixing those issues, progressives will welcome you with open arms. If I lived in a country with National Healthcare maybe I would. Why would what happened in Europe make me think that national healthcare is at all a bad thing? Did survivors walk away with millions of dollars in debt?

Stockholm population density 4,800 sqKM. 2384 deaths, 23101 cases, death rate 10.3%, 244.5 deaths per 100k NYC: pop density: 38,242 sqKM, 23,662 deaths, 237,032 cases, death rate 9.9%, 282 deaths per 100k

So, you want to point to the way Sweden handles things when it benefits your cause, but I'm guessing you probably hate their national healthcare? Do you know that Sweden has a population density of 25 per square kilometer, while NYC has 38,242 per square kilometer? The fact that Sweden killed 570 of its citizens per million, is similar to countries with 10X, 20X or more in population density, like the UK.

At that point, why not use reddit?

Man, this reminds me of Kawika Mitchell. He was a great player for us that first year, and got hurt in the 6-3 loss to the Browns the following year where Derek Anderson led the Browns to victory by completing 2-17 passes for 27 yards. Who didn't love Dick Jauron? We could really benefit from another high energy hard hitting guy like him.

Yea, it's a bit strange that he had no public speaking ability and just seemed like very much an introvert. Seems odd to be able to rise up the ranks in an industry as public as the NFL without those skills.

Read it again. He didn't draft Kelly. He joined a team where a Franchise QB was there and it took the highest contract ever to get him signed. You don't call someone a great negotiator if they pay the maximum every time. With Peyton Manning, it was an obvious decision that every GM in his position would have made, backed up by the pre-draft analysis I posted. How much credit do you want to give him for drafting the consensus #1 on a team that desperately needed him, with the #1 pick. It's not like he moved up to get him or found a diamond in the rough. Ryan Leaf's mother would have drafted Peyton first overall.

30-32 isn't old. You can still put up prime numbers as a full time D end. I'm not saying you sign him to a 10 year deal, but you sign him for 3 with the intent of keeping him 2, and I'm fine with that. If one of the kids wants his job, let them take it.

Why? Outside of Hughes and Addison, what have they done lately?

I love the idea if the staff feels like Josh is going to be a top 5 QB in the AFC. Ty Nsheke is probably playing in his last few seasons of pro ball, and his last year of his contract, and I don't think our success as a team hinges on him being here. getting 7-10 more sacks however could very well be the difference

We got Eric Wood. I really don't think letting Peters go ended up being a significant negative impact to us. We weren't going to the playoffs during the drought if we had Walter Pace, so I'm not sure how much it matters.We had 3 years of middling LT play after we traded Peters, but since 2012 when we got Cordy Glenn, it hasn't been a weakness.

Exactly. Some people here seem to think I mean that he was incompetent. I just think he's not some genius visionary.

I do that every single time he plays. I'll be the first to admit, I thought Mahomes would be a bust just like other Air Raid college studs. Watson on the other hand I thought was can't miss and when he fell to us I was over the moon. I've never really gotten over passing on Watson and then selling the farm the following year to get a lesser prospect in Allen. Regardless of how their careers turns out, it's abundantly clear who the better prospect was.

Oof Yes Obviously Oof I don't think so. He was great.

The data backs it up. Most of his draft choices were busts. He had a horrible rate of drafting guys that made it more than a season or two.

Lynch wasn't a great back when he was in Buffalo. He did have some great moments, though - like the Cleveland game. Something changed when he got to Seattle. That was a completely different player.
