The Jets' last drive didn't take very long.

My bank is closed right now.

lol indeed.

Drinking Zima and looking for a date to the winter dance.

It's a saying. No one was attacking your abundance of masculinity.

I'll bite. I think this is a good idea in the context of this week. Given our sudden offensive discovery of a two-headed running attack, and our defense's startling dearth at LB, playing a similar gameplan to last week (but hopefully HITTING on a few of the called play-action shots this time) sounds smart to me. Run the ball, play-action off of it. A balanced, but aggressive, gameplan. Some spread and hurry up when you catch them in a favorable personnel package. Just attack in a variety of ways and don't be afraid to possess the ball and use both running backs. Most of all: limit Wilson's drives. Try to shave off an entire drive or two over the course of the game by playing productive offense. The best defense, after all, is... Sounds old school. But that doesn't mean it sounds ineffective.

Maybe the Seahawks are due for a stinker? Coming across the country for an early game...who knows.

I'm guessing the plan was something like: holy hell, Epenesa fell to us in the 2nd effing round?! We cannot pass on that kind of value. Draft him and figure it out later. BPA and let McD and his coaches figure it out. Let's hope they do.

There's a joke in here somewhere...

I'm all Mongo, all the time.

Finally removing Brady's _________ from his __________?

So...to summarize: Don't overpay mediocre quarterbacks (like Tannehill and Goff, except that Tannehill and Goff are playing awesome football and their teams are doing well). Pay elite quarterbacks (like Brady, Rodgers, and Mahomes, obviously). So it's as simple as just having a top-10 pick and hitting on one of the two good QBs each year in the draft, and unless the guy is elite move on after the rookie deal (with that valuable top-10 or top-5 or top-2 pick that every team has when they need a QB).

Dunning Kruger man lol. That's perfect.

Nevermind. We can just stop now and carry on with football commentary.

Well that's the problem. It wasn't. Which then treads onto dangerously thin ice.

That's a dumb comment.

Wait...people CHOOSE this?

Wait, are you serious?

No. Because...they don't exist.

Not a dynamic player, but he's a solid RB. Also deceptively large (that's what she said).

I might be in the minority, but I think Yeldon is effective. Our offense matriculates the ball when he's in.

Okay, that's possible. But this benching won't hurt the Bills' chances of stopping such an attack.

That's the spirit. Never change. For no one.

I'd like to pause on this point for a moment, and pose a question: could McBeane have immediately gone FULL/COMPLETE rebuild and STILL preached process to the remaining roster/fans? Basically, can a coach (and GM) who truly believe/live their own competitive mantras (iron sharpens iron, process, playoff/championship caliber, etc.) strip a team of ALL its valuable talent and maintain credibility and authenticity? Maybe you'd counter with: credibility and authenticity don't translate into wins, talent does. That's a fair point. Look at Jimmy Johnson's wholesale transformation of the Cowboys in the early 90s. Lots of people like to say that talent trumps culture, or that at least talent leads to success, which then leads to talk of "culture." I'd like to posit here that while we cannot argue against results, and that in fact we should not argue against results, it's important to note that McBeane were able to rebuild AND SIMULTANEOUSLY produce results. I actually think that the playoff appearance in year one, which was likely completely unexpected, bought McBeane credibility and grace that isn't usually afforded to a new NFL regime. And it resulted from their unwillingness to field an uncompetitive, stripped-down, completely tank-worthy roster in Year One. Keeping Taylor and McCoy (and others) was instrumental in sneaking into the playoffs that year. THEN, given the credibility earned with that unexpected success, McBeane capitalized by cashing that check in 2018, tearing down the whole effing thing (which might not have been tenable without the grace period following the drought's miraculous end). They added high-end athletic talent in the draft at premium positions (QB & MLB), and sold us on the process of growth and improvement through competition. We bought it up, mostly, given the early returns. And now, with Allen's ascension, well...give them both Carte Blanche for the next decade and see what happens! They've earned it.
