Royale with Cheese

Levi Wallace isn’t a starter either. Joey Porter Jr took his spot.

It would be brutal for McDermott to come back to Buffalo after a loss. Fans would stay on him.

It would if it was quoted last year. It was the first year Hughes left the Bills, was the starter, put up his second highest sack total in his career and is from Houston. Sounds to me like a guy loving life on his new team.

I am not sure when this was quoted but Hughes is from Houston and had 9 sacks last year.

Hughes is more fiery. Wallace seems cool and calm. My opinion on McDermott has changed after this article. I think he is probably a decent human and good guy. I think he is a good game planner but can’t make right changes once the game gets tight at the end…he loses internal composure.

To me, it sounds more like Jerry Hughes.

"Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was? None of you dumbasses knows?"

What a story it would be if McDermott is fired over this.

They are which is why I decided to watch his Netflix special. My favorite short clip comedian is Bill Burr.

I watched this like 3 days ago. I never heard of this guy but he's good.

Ahh...didn't know that. So it would have to be either take time off, coach college or take a TV job? He's not a TV personality so we can rule that out lol.

I heard stories about that....they were all true?

There are plenty of examples that he could have used that would have been better. Especially since it's not an enemy. For instance, the SEAL Team 6 who had their helicopter crash at Bin Laden's compound. They didn't miss a beat, infiltrated, accomplished their goal and then went home.

More than likely, you're right. I was just stating that if it does happen, I won't be surprised. I was surprised when Mularkey stepped down but I won't be if McDermott does. He would be walking away from $20 million but he will get a job somewhere else.

I think we all can see how tense he looks on the sidelines. He doesn't seem comfortable or even happy. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up not making the playoffs, that McDermott steps down. He won't be done with coaching, I'm sure he would get picked up by another team, but he would need a change of scenery. He cannot be that oblivious the tone in the locker room has changed. I agree that they have tuned him out.

Allen has been exceptional under Brady. McDermott let him down in Philly. I have no worry about our offense. It's good enough to go 5-0. I worry about 4th quarter McDermott defense.

I'm guessing they didn't put the playbook on the plane for Elam.

Baseball was my sport growing up and I have played against guys that were called up. Many of the better players are basically encouraged to not run it out as hard as they can on routine type of ground balls in the regular season. Its because they are paying them a lot, a routine ground ball is like a .998 chance you are going to be out. Why risk a hammy or ankle sprinting to first base? We don’t have the same perspective as MLB owners. Owners look at these players as business investments. They don’t want to lose a starting CF for 2 months on a routine ground ball….especially since its a single at best. You have a few that don’t care like a Jeter but from what I have been told, don’t risk the injury.

"I'm just not there yet (regarding Zach Wilson starting again)." It took 1 day to get there!

I haven't watched a Super Bowl in probably 5 years. It's on but I am half way paying attention or focusing on something else. If I go to a party, I socialize more than watch. I like minor league baseball more as well because you are closer to the game. You hear conversations in the dugouts if you're close enough, you hear the sound of the ball of the bat more, you hear the pop of the mitt more....it's a much better experience IMO.

Keep in mind that since 2020, we have ended the seasons on at least 5 game win streak. 2021 at 7-6, the team didn’t practice on the bye week. The players have Tablets with the playbook…we have seen that with all teams. They can have Teams or Zooms meetings easily. We don’t know what happens with them every hour of the day.

I don't think you have to worry about AJ sitting the bench. Since Von has been back, AJE is still getting more snaps.

Come on Bob. The impact a HS kid takes isn't anywhere near what an NFL player takes. Players today are bigger, faster and stronger. When bigger and stronger players move faster, the impact is much greater. Not just impact, a body that moves faster and cuts is a much, much greater chance of injury, https://vault.si.com/vault/2001/05/07/the-wrecking-yard-as-they-limp-into-the-sunset-retired-nfl-players-struggle-with-the-games-grim-legacy-a-lifetime-of-disability-and-pain "The incidence of serious, noncontact knee injuries is much higher than it used to be," he says. Artificial turf is only part of the problem. "These athletes are bigger, stronger and running faster, and they're tearing up knees from cutting, changing direction on a dime," Andrews says. "In fact, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries is higher from noncontact than contact. I've seen guys get significant injuries just falling on the football. It's like a big tree falling." Great Bob, you remember when the NFL didn't have a bye week? I remember in the early 90's when they had 2 bye weeks. In the 60's, they also implemented the bye week. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2015/10/22/9573783/history-of-bye-weeks-in-nfl-and-how-bengals-perform-following-bye The first appearance of a "bye week" took place during the 1960 season. The NFL had 13 teams, and due to an odd number of teams, one team had a "bye" each week. Again in 1966 the NFL had an odd number of teams with 15 total franchises. So in 1966 the league again had a "bye week" on the schedule for each team. In 1966 and 1967 the AFL (forerunner of the current AFC) had an uneven number of teams, with nine. And so each week, one team had a "bye week". The NFL introduced the "bye week" for the 1990 season and extended the sixteen game regular season to seventeen weeks. The league has featured a "bye week" every year since then. How did they get by? They really didn't as half the league admitted they retired early from the injuries and paying for it later. A 1990 Ball State study, commissioned by the NFLPA and covering the previous 50 years of league history, revealed that among 870 former players responding to a survey, 65% had suffered a "major injury" while playing--that is, an injury that either required surgery or forced them to miss at least eight games. The study also reported that the percentage of players incurring such injuries had increased alarmingly: from 42% before 1959 to 72% in the 1980s, after many stadiums had switched from grass to artificial turf. Two of every three former players disclosed that their football injuries had limited their ability to participate in sports and other recreation in retirement, and more than half of them also had a curtailed ability to do physical labor. Of those who played during the '70s and '80s, nearly half (50% and 48%, respectively) reported that they had retired because of injury—up from 30% in the years before 1959. Players like Billy Shaw and Art Donovan could do this right? Tristan Wirf - 6'5 and 320 lbs. Billy Shaw - 6'2 and 260 lbs Art Donovan - 6'2 and 260 lbs

Not most, all. You’re not a sports guy Bob. You watch it but that’s it. Exactly. Especially for the rookies who hit the rookie wall or the older vets who need more rest time. Its week 13 and we just now got a rest and Bob wants to take that away. I played college baseball and the physical grind is not anywhere near an NFL players and I was exhausted. If you have nagging injury that you are playing through, you need that rest badly. Its the only time you can do it. Mentally, its am incredible grind.

This is incredibly stupid.
