Kelly the Dog

I was talking person.

However insane this sounds, and is, Harvey Weinstein is the best thing to happen to this country in decades and decades. Or perhaps I should include the Washington Post reporters who researched and wrote the story, along with all the women who came forward against him on record.

NOOOOO!!! Shakes the Clown, the movie, had the greatest single line in a review I ever saw. I think it was Betsy Sherman of the Boston Globe who said "Shakes the Clown is the Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies." Yes. He still is.

The key to me is the game plan that Bonehead Coach McD and his OC Uncle Rico design for the Chiefs game. If they continue to try to make Tyrod be strictly a pocket passer, as they did in the Jet and Saint game, or, if they let him run plays that fit his strengths like they did when we were winning, with a lot more designed rollouts and naked boots, etc.

I didn't know where to put this shocking stat, but thanks to Cover 1... Preston Brown has been way, way better statistically in coverage than... wait for it... Zach Brown.

Go back and look at game logs. Tyrod has a lot of third and longs because of a lot of negative runs on first as well as a lot of 2-20s and 3-20s after penalties. Plus a fair amount of sacks on early downs some of which were his fault and some when he was immediately swarmed.

Yep. He backed himself into a corner. He made a horrendous decision and now was faced with two no win (perhaps literally) choices. But at least he made the lesser of evils choice here. He could have compounded his error.

"Trust this abortion."

Great question and thread. But i I take it a different way. Don't think others should. Don't think it's better. But I am, by nature, an optimistic guy. I live in a cynical world and industry and don't want to not trust people right off the bat even though most people are untrustworthy. I didn't think McDermott was the best or my first choice but as soon as he was hired I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He had never been a HC before. There wasn't a history to B word about. I hated the Jauron hire. I was optimistic about the Mularkey and Marrone hired because I didn't know enough about them to not like them. I was lukewarm about the Chan hire but he won me over in one year and lost me in the next. I liked the Rex hire but he lost me within one year and I hated him. So I am all over the board like I assume most of you are over six different guys. My feelings about players and coaches change. Not weekly. But I can be convinced I was wrong. I hate the Sammy trade, but being optimistic I was willing to give the new guys a chance. When we started playing good I thought maybe I was wrong and these guys were right. When we were killed by the Jets I thought it hopefully was an aberration. When we were killed by the Saints I thought they may be losing the team. When they benched TT for Peterman who I said a thousand times on here he hadn't shown yet that he could do what people said he could and I hoped I was wrong. So three weeks after thinking these guys may be the real deal I'm thinking now they may be arrogant wannabes. I just don't know. If they get embarrassed by the Chiefs for four games in a row I will think one thing. If they somehow win I will think another. Doesnt mean you or I was wrong. It's fluid. Of course, there are more definitive rights and wrongs like Shady is good or bad, Zay is good or bad, John Miller is good or bad. But it's still fluid and change s game to game.

This makes me laugh, because to me, just an opinion like yours and all of ours, the first half is wholly true... no coach owes it to the fans to let us know what's going on... and the second half of it IMO is wholly untrue. A lot of people are going to take what they see way different than you, and nothing about the second half of what you said is true. As a general principle, we should never take what a coach or GM or owner or player says as gospel in a press conference. They will rarely say what they truly believe and they shouldn't. It would tear teams apart. It would be the worst possible strategy. It would backfire way more than illuminate. Do you really want to tell your wife or girlfriend or best friend or boss or partner or colleague what you really think, in real time, all the time? That would be terrible for everyone. And may not even illuminate the whole truth. Coaches are required by the league to make themselves available at certain times. I think a head coach has four of these a week. Some guys perform well in press conferences and some don't. One of the very hardest things to learn how to do well as a first time HC is what you can expose to the media. I think all of these guys think, going in, that they are going to be different, and they are going to be truthful and upfront with the media and after the first press conference they realize they really can't. Things will be taken the wrong way. I felt like that the first time I moved to LA and into the film and TV business. I stayed away for 11 years because I knew I wasn't comfortable playing that game. I told myself I wasn't going to be like that and "play the game." I was just going to be me. The first week I was in LA a friend of mine invited me to a play that was starring Dennis Franz. Not a huge star but at the time he was the main character in one of if not the best shows on TV, NYPD Blue. The play was awful. I was brought backstage to meet him by my buddy, who knew him well. I was playing out in my head what I was going to say to him about what I thought. I wasn't going to say this was awful, which it was, but say diplomatically what I thought. That it wasn't very good. My buddy introduced me to him and he said "Nice to meet you, did you enjoy the show?" And I said, "I loved it. Your character was great." i couldnt say what what I felt or believed or wanted to. It wasn't my place. He doesn't give a **** about some dude who just moved there. I had no standing as a critic. Why lessen his night. Why make him think less of my buddy who is his buddy, like, why did you bring this joker backstage to tell me I suck? I didnt even think I blew it. It really wasn't my place. Now, years later, I could probably finesse it and give him constructive criticism without being an !@#$. The point is, coaches will never say what they believe and they can't. And we can't expect them to.

But good thing we have Tolbert behind him so no worries.

Good thoughts all around. Post more.

Is this like an unreleased Tom Petty song?

God hates the Bills. God clearly loves the Patriots. There is no God. I think that's pretty clear. Next?

I like Jackson too. No way is he a better prospect or will be drafted higher than Rosen.

What Hyde didn't say was that he was talking about the Favre in the last year of his career.

What this place needs a lot more of is posts from people who don't watch the games.

Yup. Very good article.

Well, Coach, you're one of my favorite posters, and thanks to row_33, you didn't win "Lameass Dunderhead Post of the Day!"

The Bills don't hire Head Coaches, they hire Bonehead Coaches.

When he comes back, which is inevitable if it already hasn't happened, we'll just have to call it, "Eating Row."

No. He throws into tight windows at times. Not enough but he does it. He throws tight spirals to covered guys sometimes. He throws before guys look at times. People act like he never does these things, which is absurd, versus not doing it nearly enough

That's nuts KD. It was a very good pass. It also was with zero rush. His first look. And went twelve yards in the air. Tyrod has thrown all kinds of passes as good as that. Dozens.

Any sixth round QB. Peterman's fault was that he was overdrafted. If he was a sixth rounder like Brady he could've been great.
