Exactly this. In the past, someone might have jumped at the first chance offered to be a HC but, as the Ben Johnson situation shows, staying put in a decent place with a chance to add to your résumé isn't going to hurt your chances of getting a job you actually want (and I suspect he is hoping for the Bengals to continue to underperform and for Zac Taylor position to open up after next season)

He approves this message 🙂

Stockholm, Sweden. Midnight 30 game start and a balmy -2C (which i think is somewhere in the high 20s in F?)

This, a 1000 times this. It's so easy to say let's get rid of McDermott but rarely do I see those advocating for change suggesting a realistic replacement. We need a rule that if you suggest dumping someone, you need to suggest a replacement (this goes for players too!) Yes, McDermott has not led us to the promised land (and yes, some of the issues are on him) but take a moment to consider where we are and where we were. I am not saying stick with him regardless but I am saying that any change needs to be towards something that improves our chances of a SB, not a change for change's sake And just the stay on topic, I fear the Ravens the most. That running attack can kill us (and everyone else) and I have to hope there is a plan for that (one plan being to get far enough ahead that they have to dump the run and play the pass more)

Will no one think of the children Europeans? 😅 That's another "wee hours of the morning" game for those of us on this side of the pond. Staying up until 3 for the Rams or Lions is one thing but for the Pats?

At the time I thought so too but, thinking about it, I can see some logic in the decision. You recover and you have stolen a posession. Yiou don't and you give the Bills a short field (he probably wasn't expecting it to be that short but it actually was even better for them) and reduce the time the Bills will hold the hold the ball before scoring (I suspect that by that time the assumption on the Lions' sideline was that they would score from anywhere!) so you get the ball back with more time. Not saying that I would have done that but I think there is some (small?) logic to it. Plus, as others have said, it appears the Lions are pretty good at this onside kick thing.

Except it absolutely wasn't helmet ot helmet. It was forearm (with brace) to the helmet, a forearm that he deliberately raises and leads with. As others have said, he has time to at least mitigate the hit but, instead, he changes his angle of attack, raises the forearm and dives in. He knew exactly what he was doing.

I dunno, that Chris Jones seems quite good!

Head says Jets to win, heart says Texans ... but as others have said, it's a win-win

No one was throwing rocks, the question was why it was considered so offensive in the UK. What Brady says or doesn't say is not much of a topic of conversation over here (assuming people even know who he is)

How about not ones that mock people with disabilities and diseases such as Cerebral Palsy or Multiple Sclerosis? Spaz is short for Spastic (in the UK at least) as, as @GunnerBill said, is a definite no-no on this side of the pond (now, at least. When I was at school back in the middle ages, it was, unfortunately, much used)

Riiight. Because no QB ever got hit whilst sliding 🙄 I don't blame him for playing but that doesn't mean I don't think it is the wrong decision (made worse by his decision not the wear the Guardian Cap - even if the added protection is not particularly significant, it is still there).

Leaving aside the fact that it would appear that no charges were filed, why exactly should the comapny have to "float" Cook the money or make CERTAIN (your Caps) he has been notified? Because he is a Bill? Because he is famous? Would you expect them to do all that if it was Joe Bloggs who had absconded (whether witingly or unwitingly) without paying the bill? Why should a company have to incur a loss (even if it is only for "a few weeks") through no fault of their own. If that is your definition of dickish behaviour ...

Surely it would have been the other way around. If you know he is going to be out for 4 weeks, drive him into the ground in the game as he will have time to recover. I think it more likely his lack of usage was down to the fact that we rarely got the Ravens into situations in which his pass rushing was needed.

So you are blaming our woes on the "many" ex-Carolina players we have? Are you aware that, of the initial 53 this season, only THREE - Douglas (1 Year - 2020), Jones (1 Year - 2021) and Samuel (3 years - 2017-2020) - had ever played for the Panthers before? And of those three, only Jones came directly from Carolina to the Bills. Yes, I know there have been others over the years but we are living in the here and now. So, can we just drop this false narrative, once and for all?
