I won't argue with that; though I'd say he exceeded my low expectations.

Fantastic seems a bit strong. I'd say he was "fine."

I'm pretty sure TBBills is a troll.

Too many people are severaly underestimating the importance of Edmunds and Milano. They control the middle of the field, read and react so well and are crucial on pass plays (see corner today's corner play) Need at least one back for Rams because Klein is at best average and Dodson is just too inexperienced. The depth just get worse from there.

What are you 11?

"Lost?" You insisted the starters would not be missed and the Dolphins had no chance. You were told repeatedly that was wrong, Fitz would abuse the backups and the Bills would need 30 to win. All those things happened. Learn how to take the L.

Dolphins put up 28 points . . . the LBs got shredded time and again. In other words, you were very wrong. And by a "little bit" you mean "a lot."

You were saying?

You may be fooling yourself. I’ll say again, Dodson is a rookie playing perhaps his 15th play at game time and Klein is an average LB, in no scenario are they close to Milano and Edmunds in any facet of the game.

Whether it’s pass, run or triple option, in no way, shape or form are Dodson or Klein in the same league as Milano and Edmunds. Don’t fool yourself, Dodson and Klein are a sharp drop off and Fitz or Chan Gailey can take them apart. Bills may need 30 points to win.

Woods is a very good all-around player, one of my favorite. Assuming same contract I would swap him out for anyone after Diggs and Brown. I think Brown and Woods have a very similar game. Woods may stand out a bit more but Brown has a special connection with Josh Allen.

The Loop Begins Again

For a high round pick? Sure. But doubt Philly would do that. Under what scenario would this even be possible?

People who listen to talk radio are looking for a platform to B word.

Plus he was drafted by Belichick

He was in the middle of every play and a force on the line. Which game did you watch?

I don't mind Josh Allen run plays, it's what makes him so dangerous; same for Lamar Jackson, Randall Cunningham, etc. However, I believe Daboll deserves criticism for the calling the play that led to the second fumble. It was Josh's fault for fumbling but it was a dumb and unnecessary call at that point of the game.

Love that movie, I think it's incredibly well done and clever. To me, it makes sense but I can see why some wouldn't like it.

Oh, wow, I remember that. Good post.

A work of art

Fingers crossed. The book was so complex that even if you read the book I can imagine it would hard to follow in a two to three hour movie. A miniseries would be great but likely too expensive.

The character germinated from a NBC commercial but has had a few tweaks. Much less of a stereotypical midwest/southern coach. In some ways I think of Lasso as a cross between Ned Flanders and Sean McDermott.

I haven't seen Ted Lasso on Apple TV discussed. It's my surprise show/movie of 2020. I put off watching because I assumed it would be a run-of-the-mill "fish out of water" show about an American college football coach hired to manage a English Premier League team. It has all the trappings of dumbed-down "Major League" but I was pleasantly wrong. Jason Sudakis is outstanding as a relentlessly optimistic and good-natured guy whose success is based on his ability to bring out the best in people. That sounds like a annoying CBS sitcom but the show has a great deal of depth, a terrific, well-drawn cast of characters and appears to embrace a somewhat predictable story to toss a few curve balls. I could not help but root for Ted Lasso and liked how they developed each character throughout the show. It's a "feel-good" show based on hope that does not get into hokum. Special shoutout to "Coach Beard" who could join Ted Lasso as an all-time character. Another Apple TV program is "Greyhound" with Tom Hanks, who also wrote it. I'm surprised this compact, tense story about WWII destroyers protecting a convoy hasn't received more attention. I think it's well-done, good visuals and tight storytelling.

This is a weirdly aggressive preemptive attack.

It's weird you don't see the irony of asking for "balance" when that's exactly what the movement and players are asking for from our society.
