Sweats

I think this is exactly it..... JA looks like he doesn't have the patience to let the play develop

Running through the gauntlet the next month will tell us where this team really is.

That games was f-u-g-l-y........like, downright gross. 8-2 all day long, *****es!!!!

Whatever seed we end up being, i say bring it on.........to be the man, you gotta beat the man and KC is standing in our way. Woooooooo

I thought the game today was the fugliest thing i have witnessed in a while.........but this thread is running neck and neck.

That was not a pretty win at all, but I'll take it.

Why are we even throwing?........run Cook and Davis right up the gut

Does no one else find it concerning that our QB has RB records?

.........slow down on your fiber intake.

Interestingly enough, my wife and i have been coming to Saguenay on and off for the past 40 years to visit her family, so when we moved up here, we definitely knew what we were walking into.......we just didn't expect the difference between once in a while vacationing here and actually living here. True story......there were a few times where drivers have tried to run me off the road when they saw the Ontario license plates. To combat this, i put a local union sticker from my Ontario union on the back of my truck and never had a problem ever again (Quebec is huge into their unions). Saguenay is the "gem" of Quebec, and they know it. They hold onto their traditions and heritage hard and won't allow anyone to interrupt their way of life.......it's a whole other world up here, man. Think about it like this, if people had no reason to ever come up here, they would never have a reason to ever come up here. Most "outsiders" make it as far as Quebec City and that's it......that's the way the Saguenay people like it, that's the way they want it. The region tried to re-populate the area by sending immigrants from Montreal to Saguenay and it didn't "take"........1) the people up here don't want immigrants around the area.........2) immigrants, not used to a casual average of -45 in the winter, ran back to Montreal (and who can blame them). As far as jobs wise, if you are in the hospitality business, Montreal or Quebec City would be your best option, as there is absolutely no hospitality in Saguenay, in any regard........up here, if you speak English or try to parlez vous in broken French, bonne chance, mon ami.......bonne chance avec ca.

Bengals certainly had their chances to take over the game and blew it.

This is exactly true. The Canadian government will insist that a person has a job in Canada before moving here where an employer can verify sponsorship of employment. In Quebec particularly, they want to ensure that any employment opportunities are filled by a French- Canadian first and foremost and unless you have any special skills that are beneficial to that province, you will have a hard time getting in. I have a long extensive nuclear background where i have worked all over the world in various countries in various capacities, which is not a run-of-the-mill experience background and kind of an exclusive work experience. Presently, i work at the Bagotville (northern Quebec) Air Force base which i know my past nuclear experience got me this position.......if i had the background experience of a "burger flipper" (not that there's anything wrong with that), there is no way i could have ever worked or lived in Saguenay, Quebec. I believe that one of the first things immigration will look at is whether you have a job lined up to come to.......or whether you have any past work experience that is exclusive and beneficial to the provinces in varying capacities. It's all a game and unfortunately, immigration keeps changing the rules between governments it would seem every time we have a change in leadership (Liberals, PC, NDP, etc.)

.....roids caught up to him.

I moved from Ontario, Canada to Quebec and although it was only one province over and roughly 15 hours away, the whole ordeal was a nightmare for us, as Ontario and Quebec don't like each other.......each one sees the other province as the "spoiled brat" of provinces, so moving from Ontario to especially northern Quebec, was just a longgggggggggggg drawn out process. It might not be this way to move to the rest of the province, but as i said earlier, northern Quebec doesn't really like outsiders and especially from Ontario. The sad part is that my wife was originally from Saguenay, Quebec and we knew that we would retire their one day. But i digress, as i should start from the beginning...... Roughly 3 years ago during Covid, a guy knocked on our door in Ontario and made a ridiculous offer on our house (it was actually an old estate that we bought a long time ago for pennies on the dollar, as it had fallen into bad shape and we had fixed up.......but rest assured, this was an actual true estate) which we thought the guys offer was a joke, but once we got the lawyers and real estate people involved and they did the history and background on this guy, they said his offer was legit, he wanted the estate bad and we couldn't turn it down. The deal gave us enough money for both of us to retire. So, we started looking at houses in northern Quebec and finally found one we liked......and that's when the problems for us started. The Quebec government wouldn't let us move to Saguenay until we proved that we had a job to come to, as they didn't want us leaching off the system and i had to explain that we were retiring, didn't need a job, however, the red flags started going off for them when they saw i was only 52 and, in their eyes, too young to retire......also, we weren't getting a mortgage, we were paying outright cash.......and it was red flags again because in their eyes, no one pays total cash for a house. We had to provide financial records, bank history, background checks, etc......i suggest if you have a sordid past, this inquisition will figure it out real quick. The Quebec government finally put all the pieces together about selling the old house in Ontario for a fantastic price, no illegal or shady drug dealing stuff going on and we finally bought the house, but it was a long drawn-out process. I stayed retired for about 2 years, but last year i got a call from the Bagotville Air Force base in Saguenay about coming on board for a project they were planning at the base and i've been working here ever since last year. The Saguenay community has somewhat accepted us as they see that i am working at the Air Force base, we changed our license plates over from Ontario to Quebec on the cars (yes, something as small and simple as that) and that we contribute to the community. In my eyes and from what i have seen, i don't think Quebec has much of a problem with the US. I don't think people moving from the states to Quebec would have the same similar nightmare that i had and especially the circumstances in which i moved (paying cash, retiring at 52, etc.) The biggest thing that i have seen is that they just want to make sure that people moving here are going to contribute and not be a burden on their system. It almost feels like an interview setting where they want to make sure that people are the "right fit". I honestly don't know the immigration process but honestly, it can't be any worse than the scenario we went through and as i say, i do believe it is easier to move into anywhere in Quebec besides the Saguenay region. If people are looking for culture and ethnicity, Montreal is definitely for you and would probably be the easiest route to move from the US. Quebec City is a little boring as there is not much more than tourism going on there and i think you would definitely have to provide proof that you have a job there before you move in that area. Saguenay, although the most beautiful part of Quebec with the forests, lakes and mountain ranges, is probably the toughest area to move into and i can personally attest to that.

Alright, i'm going to jump in here...... I just recently moved to Quebec and there are some things that people have to understand if they move here. Quebec is divided into 3 parts (all 3 hate each other). * Montreal.......there is a lot of culture, however, there is a lot of immigrants * Quebec City.......is all geared around tourism * Northern Quebec........is all separatists and the last bastion of the true French language and traditions All 3 factions detest each other. Government spending gets spent on Montreal first, Quebec City 2nd and Northern Quebec last.......Northern Quebec believes they should have first crack at the spending because they are "true French", and Quebec City believes they should get first crack because they bring tourism money into the province......and round and round it goes. Quebec is a beautiful province. I love it. I live in Saguenay (northern Quebec.....the true heartland of the French). I don't speak a lot of French, and they have tried to make me feel like shiza up here because of it, but i just let them know i'm here and i ain't going anywhere......deal with it. If you plan on moving to Quebec, hit me up and i'll hook you up........i know people.

I believe this to be true about dysfunctional ownership, however, i think it also had to do with whether teams wanted to invest in a contract with Cooper long term because in all actuality, a contract is an investment for the future on the player, the team, etc. A contract means that the organization believes in the player enough to invest in them and give them a contract.......apparently, the Raiders, Browns and Cowboys didn't believe in Cooper enough to keep him around. Their loss is our gain, so to speak. Thinking back, who was the last players on the Raiders, Cowboys and Browns where those franchises invested in contracts for their players long term? Where they believed that a certain player was worth the amount of money they were willing to pay?.......an investment, so to speak........all i can think of is Dak presently, which might explain piss poor talent, degrading rosters and poor evaluation for their franchise futures. ........my opinion only

Rest assured, whatever i put into my body will come screaming out of me at a furious pace.

All AFC teams besides the Bills are dead to me.........dead, i say.

The old city i used to live in had 3 major plants shut down all within 6 months of each other.........Uniroyal/Goodrich, Epton, Labatt's Brewery........which put roughly 10,000 workers out of work and severely burdened our economic sector for a long time. I went to school with a bunch of the workers and i felt bad for them cause it was all they knew, and they struggled hard to find new work and to support their families. I never like hearing about places closing down.

I'm feeling like...... Bills - 27 Colts - 17

Doesn't really matter to me as long as the Bills handle their own business.

The Browns is the correct answer here. Everyone told them they were making a mistake by fully guaranteeing Watson and like i'm talking everyone from other owners to the fans, to the media, etc.......and the Browns did what the Browns always do, they made piss poor decisions that created a cap hell for that team. Also, their owner and management are terrible. You know what the word "Browns" reminds me of?..........that's right, a hot steaming pile (poop assessment thread for reference).

I like the guy......his "takes" are usually fairly spot on and he has no problem speaking his mind

I don't know if you guys knew this or not, but our run game is pretty good........we may have to lean on it quite a bit until everyone's healthy and back in the line-up.

A lot more.......in fact, i'm just full of it
