Low Positive

Watching the Vikings suck for the past two weeks really puts how bad the Jake Browning-led Bengals are.

If Myles Garrett had played for the Cowboys, he would be the biggest star in the league.

These guys complain about CTE after they retire, but they let their mouthguards hang from their helmets like truck nutz. Wearing a mouthguard is one of the simplest things a player can do to prevent concussions.

Oh yeah. I hate how people always argue that Belichick was some sort of genius for drafting Brady. If he knew Tommy would be anywhere near that good, they wouldn't have picked all those other guys ahead of him. It's just luck. The 49ers get a franchise guy with the last pick in the draft, while other teams draft guys up and down the draft for years and hit on none of them. I guess if any team is due some luck it's Cleveland so this is less awful than watching Purdy lead the league in passing. FWIW, I still don't think Gabriel will work out.

I HATE when low-round rookie QBs succeed more than anything else in this league. My least favorite player in the NFL is Brock Purdy. I hated Russell Wilson for years. I am starting to hate Gabriel's pretty-boy face more and more every minute.

Dylan Gabriel is Kyler Murray small.

The potential for disaster is high, because if those guys could throw, they would be getting paid 20 million to be backup QBs instead of 10 million to be stud RBs.

Trick plays are fun when they work.

You can tell that Gabriel spent a lot of time throwing to Bond with the second team in practice. He is looking for nobody else on passing plays. Teams are really coaching the punch-out. I think some of the poor tackling across the league is because defensive players are more concerned with forcing fumbles than wrapping guys up. Hear that sound? That's all of Cleveland measuring Dylan Gabriel for his gold jacket.

More like “pre-disappointment.”

Probably less likely because of the artificial turf.

There are a bunch of restaurants and hotels down there, so he was either picking up food or delivering it. It's unclear. From the police report, it happened here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Loughmiller's+Pub+%26+Eatery/@39.7666772,-86.1643723,197m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m15!1m8!3m7!1s0x886b50ffa7796a03:0xd68e9df640b9ea7c!2sIndianapolis,+IN!3b1!8m2!3d39.76909!4d-86.158018!16zL20vMGZ0eHc!3m5!1s0x886b50ba6806a235:0xfd44a057437fcf7!8m2!3d39.7669546!4d-86.1638008!16s%2Fg%2F1tfp_l3b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTAwMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

They might be getting tendencies on film in order to break them later in the season.

I'm currently watching the BigXII refs help ranked Iowa State come back against unranked Cincinnati. Gotta help the league's CFP chances.

Of course, anyone who spends time posting here is all in. But every Jags and Panthers fan of a certain age was a fan of another team prior to 1993. Titans fans were probably mostly Falcons fans when the Oilers relocated. Heck, old guys here talk about being Browns fans until the merger. Were they disloyal Browns fans? They switched allegiances when their town got a team.

The juice has to be worth the squeeze. All puns intended.

Pegula, who owns the Sabres, made a partnership with this.

Looks like an agent made a little call to Pellisaro.

This is the same city that used to yell "hit em with yer purse, Phillis" at future hall of fame defenseman Phil Housley.

All offenses stall sometimes. The 2013 Denver Broncos were the highest scoring offense in NFL history. They still punted 65 times.

Boy, that Belichick is really revolutionizing college football.

I'm going to bow out here, because I touched a nerve. Tensions are high due to playoff baseball and other reasons. The reason I responded how I did was the insinuation that I, as a native-born Buffalonian, should be happy if the Leafs get McDavid and win a Cup. Last time I checked, Buffalo still nominally has an NHL team.

Nobody disputed the fact that there are a lot of Bills fans in Canada. But that doesn't transfer to us being fans of other "regional" teams. If you are trying to say that most people in Buffalo are Blue Jays fans, that is just wrong. The Bisons have been the AAA affiliate of a lot of MLB teams, including Cleveland and the Mets. And most people I know in Buffalo are Yankee fans if they care about baseball at all. This is mostly due to Buffalo getting Yankee games, not Jays games, on local cable during the 80's and 90's. I don't know what the situation is now, but my dad watched every Yankees game on local TV until he passed a few years ago. I'm not saying that Canadian Bills fans are lesser fans, but the idea that there is a natural connection between the Bills and Blue Jays is simply not correct. And the OP was arguing that the we should all be happy if McDavid goes to the Leafs? I suppose we should all be happy when Ontario invades Buffalo twice a year and starts fights with Sabres fans in their own building. I know the Sabres suck, but I still hate the Leafs.

No doubt. But there was no need for the Bills to say anything. Also, how many of those Toronto and Southern Ontario Bills fans remain Bills fans if Toronto were to get an NFL team? As you say, that border becomes thick when there is an option on your side of it.

I'm more worried about Mack Hollins stomping on Benford.
