There's a few fellas over in the other Veteran's Day thread if you want to check in there also.

It contained zero information, zero insight and was nothing more than a woe is us LAMP, half of which was just you repeating two words of lyrics that you stole from Leonard Cohen. If you're desperate for it to be revived, PM me which of the "Fire McDermott" or "Beane Sucks" or "We're Doomed" threads you would like it to be merged into and I will see if I can dig it out of the bin.

Agreed. At the top of their respective games, Chan Gailey was a much better football coach.

The consulting firm was virtually irrelevant. I could make a reasonably cogent argument that Mike Tomlin indirectly had more to do with McDermott's hire than anybody outside the Bills organization.

This is true This is not true. When I say that Whaley wanted McDermott and pounded the table for him, it is not idle speculation or reading tea leaves. I was given first hand information that was who Doug was fighting for, prior to the hire.

Doug wanted him and fought hard for him to be hired. It was the first and only time in his tenure as GM that Pegula gave him who he wanted as a HC.

I don't know if you quite have to go there, but I was definitely b'ing and moaning early in the Dolphins game about them not making even the slightest bit of effort whatsoever to run the offense at any kind of pace.

Doug Whaley

It's probably not just a coincidence that some of Hurts' best performances have come when the Eagles had two weeks of prep time before a game.

He's never been a good passer but he has squeezed every drop of talent he could possibly get out of himself to become a better QB than I thought he'd ever be. Gotta respect him for that but he'll always have limitations as a pure QB, imo.

People are going to make fun of that game because of the scoreboard, but I think it was sort of underrated.

I actually thought that band had some fairly legit funk chops.

TIL that Fatboy Slim had enough pull at one point to get Bootsy Collins to work with him 🤯

At the risk of an ass-kicking, I kinda though it looked like Poona Ford at birth

Huge implications for playoff seeding on the line. It sort of has the feel of "Don't be the first guy to make a big mistake" right now. I'd guess a couple big plays could open things up pretty quick.
