Great post. One thing I'd add though is that while RBs were more highly regarded back then, it was still a QB-centric game. Always has been. OJ, for all of his awards, records, and success, only played in ONE playoff game his entire career. Even all of the early Super Bowl winners were built around a QB, not a RB. The 1967 Packers were built around Bart Starr, to the point their GM left star HB Paul Hornung unprotected in the expansion draft (and New Orleans scooped him right up). The Jets in SB 3 were about Namath. Cowboys, etc. It's more that the Bills, and specifically Ralph Wilson, never really understood the importance of having a star/quality QB and thought they could just run the ball to a championship. But whether we knew it or not, the game has always revolved around the QB.

Yeah, at this point, watching Greeny meltdown about how horribly the Jets are managed is the only part worth watching.

Holy cow, what a blast from the past of my adolescent days...

I was a long time, dedicated Mike & Mike viewer, and havent been back to ESPN in the Morning since they went off air. There isnt a decent ESPN Morning show. I've switched over to GMFB on NFL Network as my morning show, and catch up with other sporting news on PTI. Once PTI is done, there will be no more commentary shows on ESPN for me. Just college football.

Time to cancel @Gugny?

I gotta disagree from what I saw being at the game (no all-22 film). It seemed like there was plenty of space for Moss to run through at the line, and he was regularly getting to the 2nd level. His 4.6 avg would indicate that as well. Just because a DLineman was making the tackles doesnt mean the play was stopped at the line. Sweat was often hustling back downfield from the backside to make those tackles. I even had to check at one point to see if they were playing him off the ball as a LB because he was making tackles 5-6 yards downfield. I thought the run blocking was "good enough" to at least give the Defense something to think about and stay honest, and let us move the ball.

He definitely took a lot of crap for that, and rightfully so. Wide open, hit him right in the hands, and bounced right off of him. But I hadnt realized until now that Singletary wasnt on the list at all. THAT is even more deserving of criticism than our #4RB/Special Teams Ace imo.

Not really a strawman considering it's my post and point that first started being quoted. I was clarifying and reiterating my original point. As for Hardman... right, exactly. I dont expect him to beat out Hardman for a starting spot. I expect Gordon to be in the wings, for when a team does successfully neutralize Hill and Kelce and Hardman. Just like Byron Pringle (who?!?) had 2/63 and 1 TD against Baltimore, that's the role Gordon steps in. I assume he can do as well, if not better than Byron Pringle. Or a Daurice Fountain. It's not a great thing when a team like KC adds to their depth. Folks can scoff at Gordon, and rightfully so, it's probably a safe bet that he'll do nothing. But I'd rather see him elsewhere. Like back in Seattle.

No, but Sammy was a bigger part than Gabbert. And to my point, doesnt need to be an All-Pro consistent player in order to contribute to them winning. Watkins did ok in KC, and had a couple break out games himself, where he starred as the 3rd or 4th option. I could see Gordon fill that same role. And while I'm not scared of him, would really hate to see him have even his one break out game against us (or at any time for the Chiefs).

Agreed on Reid. And sure. I'm not expecting him to put up an All-Pro season. But all he needs is one good day as the 4th option because a defense successfully took away their first few options. A Sanders or even Knox-like day from yesterday.... handful of catches, less than 100 yards, and 1 or 2 TDs, can certainly change the outcome of a game. We'll see what shape he's in of course. I'm certainly not getting any heart burn from it. But I dont like to see the Chiefs adding anyone to their roster who could possibly help out in any way.

Pretty sure Sammy has a ring... with the Chiefs. 🤷‍♂️

Dislike. Joke all you want about Gordon, but I'd rather not have the Chiefs increase their talent and chances of winning in any way, no matter how minuscule. Dude can be a stud if/when he has his act together. I dont want to see that happen in 3 weeks.

If anyone is thinking of a PSL as a true investment, then Ive got some homemade bitcoins to sell them. Half off current market value even. Best case scenario with a PSL is you get your money back if/when you find someone to buy your tickets instead of turning them back in.

Nailed it.

I'm cheering for Darnold's success this entire year, except for our game against the Panthers. He's Josh's buddy. Everyone loves a redemption story. And most importantly, it solidifies what a dumpster fire the Jets are as an organization. Love to see it.

Anyone who would be willing to lose the team rather than have tax payers in Albany, Syracuse and NYC have to throw in a few bucks, should have their fan card REVOKED!

Correct, but it's even beyond the NFL. PSLs have been a part of almost all pro sports. Even auto racing.

Not that I know of, but I feel the Pegulas took a much lower profile on all their research. And rightfully so with what a "small town" Buffalo is, and how difficult enough it is to control leaks and rumors. Whereas everyone knew the Rams were looking to build a new stadium.

Yeah, see my edit on the lower cost. It makes their discount even higher. I'd say this is right in line with the way rich people operate. They'll milk any penny they can, no matter how trivial it seems, in order to hang onto their own pennies. If it's $120M, then so be it. They'll take it.

If people want your business's products and services so badly that there is a waiting list to simply buy it from you, and you can charge a premium for the privilege of doing business... that's just good ol American capitalism, my man.

If they're going to pony up roughly $1B, then that's at least a nice 10% discount. If it's a 50/50 split of $1.2B, then that's a 20% discount off their $600M. Not bad.

Thems the breaks

Is anyone surprised by this? At least it's only a one-time charge and transferable.

If Gilbert was commentating a game, like The Mannings, it would be my go-to broadcast. Might even pay to hear it.

The funny part is, she isnt even the worst part of that crew.
