I do this with great reluctance because I don't want to hijack the thread... but it wasn't his fault that he didn't win a playoff game. The team around him wasn't very good. In Simpson's loss to the dynastic 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers, he ran the ball 15 times for 49 yards and added 37 yards and a TD on 3 receptions. In the Steelers' next two playoff games including the Super Bowl, the Raiders and the Vikings ran the ball 42 times for only 46 yards against the Steel Curtain.

Where do we find out how much our shares are worth? Damn! Beat me to it!!!

That makes him 111 years older than Tremaine Edmunds!

The fact that I left Buffalo after 40 years and no longer have season tickets doesn't disqualify me from having moderate opinions in this topic. And based on your history here, you should probably say less about others on this board.

I think it's a matter of degree. I believe if it was possible to measure a team's motivation that you would find the Jets have a higher level, after all (cliche incoming) this is like their Super Bowl whereas for the Bills, the Jets represent a team they're trying to avoid a letdown against. Good teams most often have enough motivation to avoid being upset... but not always.

You don't like the Sahlen's Smokehouse style? Lots of people myself included, like the "snap" texture of biting into a Sahlen's.

Does anyone know what brand of hot dogs are served at Giants Stadium?

Not to mention the idiot fan putting his hands on Jackson and Hopkins. Ironically it's probably not the drunken idiots who were leaving early... they were probably passed out in their seats. 😆

I have a gut feeling that Aaron Glenn is a good hire and that the Jets will be tough.

That's because too many people post instead of read. It really detracts from any site when the same essential comment is made multiple times by different people. It should be enough to let others speak for you in those cases where you're not the first to make a point... that's what the agree reaction is for... to agree. If more people exercised this discipline, there'd be a lot less litter to wade through. But yes, thank you to Scott and the team.

Thank you for posting an NFL rule instead of an opinion. The call according to Referee John Hussey was "illegal touching" (of a forward pass). Article 8. Illegal Touching Of A Forward Pass: It is a foul for illegal touching if a forward pass (legal or illegal) thrown from behind the line of scrimmage:is first touched intentionally or is caught by an originally ineligible offensive player. If such a pass is caught, it is a live ball; (Penalty: Loss of five yards at the previous spot). or It is a foul for illegal touching if a forward pass (legal or illegal) first touches or is caught by an eligible offensive receiver who has gone out of bounds, either of his own volition or by being legally forced out of bounds and has reestablished himself inbounds. If such a pass is caught, it is a live ball. (Penalty: Loss of down at the previous spot). I don't understand the part of the rule which states "If such a pass is caught, it is a live ball."

Relevant to this conversation, the Eagles also signed free agent pass rusher Za'Darius Smith yesterday. Smith has 69 career sacks in 10 seasons and had 4 sacks in 8 games last year.

No one is debating your right to do what you want.

That question was asked on page 1: It was then answered 4 times in 3 pages:

The exception is not the rule. I live in California so going to the game was not an option. I was very proud of our family members who stayed in the stadium until the end... and got to go onto the field and celebrate behind the NBC set. The biggest deficit was 15 points and Josh Allen is the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills. If the deficit grew to 17 points (more than 2 TDs and 2 2-point conversions), or if the QB was anyone other than Josh Allen I would have given up hope too.

Love this movie and William Zabka has had an interesting career playing hate-able characters.

For the click averse, the Tweet is simply "Funny how life work (sic)" and some praying hands.

Josh won this game in spite of the coaching staff. If this franchise doesn't deliver Josh a Super Bowl win, I will never forgive them for failing him. The way I saw it was that the Bills play calling put the handcuffs on Josh and he couldn't get into a rhythm. I was very unhappy with the playcalling. As time started to become a factor the Bills were forced to throw and at first Josh was just extending plays and making miraculous throws. This seemed to energize the entire offense. By the 4th quarter he was definitely in rhythm and delivering the ball on time and accurately. This guy is an elite thrower and the the coaching staff has to do a better job of balancing the offense. Tonight they gave Josh a game plan that you would give someone like Nathan Peterman... a defensive offensive game plan. Josh delivered a victory tonight in spite of the coaching staff.

The Bills hired former ref John Parry for what reason? It was obviously a bad spot and should have been challenged.

I understand the point you're making. I try not to judge others because I don't know what they're going through. That was my point and I don't think it's that "weird." As far as Dunne's work, I don't pay for it so I don't read it and I'm not familiar with it so I have no opinion of it. I do know that there are some posters here I respect that defend Dunne's work so I'll continue not to judge it. I commented because I'm uncomfortable with the firestorm of contempt directed at Dunne.

People here are attacking him but they don't know the circumstances of his life... there's probably a lot of double standards being exercised as people malign his work. As I said at the outset of my post, "I try not to judge others." Are you judging me? Are you familiar with the stuff I write here? Do you think that's "how I go through life?"

I'd be interested to know how much the discussion here has added to his coffers... tangibly and intangibly. It's difficult to frame Dunne without knowing his financial situation. We don't know if he's wealthy (I highly doubt it) but on the other hand, many know his name. But again, he's betting on himself to make a living and doing what he has to do to stay afloat... which is also to say that there's worse things that he could be doing.

I must be mistaken... if it was on Facebook it must be true!

I TRY not to judge others... and fail quite often. But regarding Tyler Dunne, he chose a ***** industry at a time when it's becoming even shittier. In fairness to journalism, most industries are becoming shittier these days. That said the exception is not the rule and media outlets that provide employment to actual journalists are few and far between. Good journalism is dying. Even the final few remaining bastions of journalism are in contraction and under fire by coercive political players. It's becoming rarer that outlets stand by their reporting and more common that they make decisions based on marketing to audiences and avoiding litigation. Truth in reporting has never meant so little in the grand scheme of things than it does today. Good journalism jobs are hard to find. Further shrinking the market is that the audiences generally even can't spell "journalism" and it seems that most people would rather get their media fix in the form of a 32 oz Big Gulp Cola Slushee than from a cup of coffee. So Dunne can feed his family (or pay off his student loans, or whatever he's trying to keep afloat) by finding a way forward in his chosen profession or he can look for another profession. He's currently trying a disparate grab bag of confirmation bias, sensationalism, subscriptions, and long form writing in order to pay his bills. One thing you can say about Dunne is that he's not one of these people who's sending out resumes and waiting for the phone to ring... he's fighting for his professional survival.
