dollars 2 donuts

Thank you, House. Honestly...that was perfect.

Everyone knows that the best place to watch an NFL game is at a stadium, with all its amenities and reasonable affordability. ...said some insane person. NFL, feel free to grab the profit you can. However, to focus on the stadium aspect of $$$ going forward is "like a long wait for a train that won't come". It is tired thinking by tired people...do better.

@teef * * Augie would love a pony.

Agreed. Speaking in broad strokes: sign the guys on this team that are important, or corner stones to their future, pick up 1 or maybe 2 reasonable FAs at positions of upmost need, and keep drafting as well as you have and let this thing keep building the way it has. Left over money to sign future home grown FAs? great.

Yeah...teef, man, we are all sinners and we all fall short at times. The guilt you are expressing here shows you feel something, so don't beat yourself up at all. However, I believe you would likely feel better if you did something to counter your feelings...not necessarily to the person you are trying to avoid, but maybe pay it forward by doing something nice to someone else when they appear to need it.

Pffft! He couldn't even lead the league in all purpose yards for FIVE straight years. 1991 League MVP, only the second time in franchise history...big freaking deal.

That's BS. Not your statement, NewEra, but it is the Super Bowl...regular season rules be damned, everyone actually on the team and not on injured reserves or concussion protocol should be able to dress.

It is silly that as far as anecdotal bits of NFL history the fact that Jim Kelly beat John Elway, Dan Marino and Joe Montana in three straight AFC Championship games is rarely (if ever besides me) brought up. ...please don't go into the QBs not going against each other, but rather going against the defenses...I know, we get it. However, as QB starts go it is Kelly with the "W" and the other three with the "L".

BTW, my last line was not meant to be harsh, but in re-reading it is something a dick would say and I honestly try not to do that. I am leaving it up, as I AM apologizing to you right now because of it and my stumble is on me. PTT...I am sorry dude. AND YES we should move on from this. I also corrected "unsincere" to insincere...I can apologize for being a dick but NOT for being a moron! ?

I dig that and i gave you a beer for it. ...but no. I'll still route for Josh and I have really never brought this up other than in guys making posts about it. ...I wasn't saying anything...you can check (don't waste your time, that I silly, but truthfully you are not going to see much at all). YOU started a whole thread about this, I didn't. I don't bring it up. That probably is the best way to handle it. My insincere apologies for not going lock step with you on your opinion.

Yeah, but I didn't start a post on anything, just responding to yours...rather, teef's. Crying would be bitching about it. I have been behind Josh since day 1...I just wish they had chosen Mahomes.

I know, teef, I know...I know...but I wanted him. That's what makes this hard. I am a Josh backer, and I probably wanted Watson more...but I honestly wanted Mahomes and it is just hard.

I'm sorry, where is the quote where he says, "The Bengals are hot garbage if they don't pick me, and I am going to make them pay for their mistake!"? Oh, there isn't one...good.

Weird, but I agree with both of these.

Off of memory to lend support: 1973: 9-5 1974: 9-5 1975: 8-6 1976: ??4-9-1? 1977: 3-11 1978: 5-11 1979: 7-9 1980: 11-5 1981: 10-6 1982: 4-5 1983: 8-8 1984: 2-14 1985: 2-14 1986: 4-12 1987: 7-8 1997: 6-10 2000: 8-8 2001: 3-13 2002: 8-8 2003: 6-10??? 2004: 9-7 2005: 5-11 2006: 7-9 2007: 7-9 2008: 7-9 2009: 6-10 2010: 4-12 2011: 6-10 2012: ??? 2013 and on I know and I won't bore you here (too late!), but again the above is off of memory. I think I am close.

Amen, brother. I could not agree more. However, for the purposes of awkward historical accuracy given the topic, without cheating please give the BIlls' regular season record for each year since 1990 and drop and give us 50 push ups. ...and I have a live chicken you need to carry around for a day.

Good for him. If this is what he chooses, in the best interest for himself and his family, great. Additionally, I think it also starts to be a little silly when...oh, lets say you're a 43 year old man and you are still running around playing a kids game...grow up and move on with your life.

I know, right?! I let my neighbor borrow my lawn mower and when I come home there is a fully tiered and thriving prostitution business geared towards varying preferences and proclivities with a website (dollars2donutsdecentdivas.org) with a functioning offshore credit card verification system...weird.

Oh, I am not angry, teef. Forgive me for just popping in late to the party. I haven't been paying attention to the back and forth. I was bothered by the way they lost, because if they were going to lose I imagined it would be that way and I probably won't be over the loss fro awhile and the wasted opportunity, but I am on board with this administration. ...I just want this administration..plus something.

I love this staff, but I would like to see something more and I don't know if we are going to see it:

I like that that the $8 million guy told the $16 million guy to straighten out.

Dan, on another board someone provided excerpts from the MLB Report. The below portions of the report provided by that guy on another message board: Are they 100% innocent? No, but I do feel bad for both these guys as they are most assuredly the fall guys for this. Jeff Luhnow (General Manager). Luhnow adamantly denies knowledge of both the banging scheme and the efforts by the replay review room staff to decode signs and transmit them to the dugout. The investigation revealed no evidence to suggest that Luhnow was aware of the banging scheme. The investigation also revealed that Luhnow neither devised nor actively directed the efforts of the replay review room staff to decode signs in 2017 or 2018. Although Luhnow denies having any awareness that his replay review room staff was decoding and transmitting signs, there is both documentary and testimonial evidence that indicates Luhnow had some knowledge of those efforts, but he did not give it much attention. A.J. Hinch (Field Manager). Hinch neither devised the banging scheme nor participated in it. Hinch told my investigators that he did not support his players decoding signs using the monitor installed near the dugout and banging the trash can, and he believed that the conduct was both wrong and distracting. Hinch attempted to signal his disapproval of the scheme by physically damaging the monitor on two occasions, necessitating its replacement. However, Hinch admits he did not stop it and he did not notify players or Cora that he disapproved of it, even after the Red Sox were disciplined in September 2017. Similarly, he knew of and did not stop the communication of sign information from the replay review room, although he disagreed with this practice as well and specifically voiced his concerns on at least one occasion about the use of the replay phone for this purpose.

No, no. Unfortunately, some parts have gotten much, much worse.

Respectfully, and I want to be really f***ing clear about my opinion on this: no they are not. This teams values above all else things like comradely, faith, defense, brotherhood, and having each others backs...all are fine. However, until they value scoring in the same breathe as the above, until they are greedier than Gollum is over his Precious with putting points on the board, until they deem a 17-13 win in post game as failure by at least stating, "we didn't score at least 3 tds," then this team isn't really that far from the team on the field in 2018 and a good receiver here and a stout tackle there isn't going to fix it. ...they lost on Saturday because they don't love points as much as they love other things...and that is a sickness that I am not sure those in the room know how to cure.
