  1. Worst coaching west of Chicago. I had it with Staley in 2021. I bet the over on the Chargers wins based on Herbert being in his 2nd season & I figured anyone would be an upgrade over Anthony Lynn. I tiered the bets so that if they won a certain number of games I'd break even & more games I'd win money. After a quick start where I was very confident that I'd win all the bets, I watched Staley make some wild decisions that cost the Chargers multiple games. I lost all but the bet with the lowest win total that was a push. Years later, Staley still has never learned to coach. I structured the bet similar to what I had done in 2019 with the Bills. After watching Josh as a rookie, I was confident that the Bills would win around 10 games & make the playoffs in his sophomore year because of improvements on the O-line & WRs. I tiered the bets to break even at 8-8, and win it all if they won 10 & made the playoffs. I cashed every future bet that year & had the same theory on Herbert's 2nd season. Herbert will win a lot of games once they get rid of Staley.
  2. Maybe, but they were missing S. Barkley & A. Thomas. Best player & best lineman. Tough to have much offense with these 2 out. As long as they're out the Giants are in trouble. On a side note, I was listening to the Giants radio broadcast & they were criticizing the WRs for not going for balls in the air. On the play they were all over Hodgins for not going after a deflected ball that ended up being intercepted by the 49ers. Not a good reflection on the Giants coaches.
  3. What a disaster the 2021 QB class has been after Trevor Lawrence went off the board at #1. The 1st round has 3 potential busts including Trey Lance who was jettisoned for a 4th & for SF he's officially a bust already. Mac Jones is JAG. The 3rd rounders & beyond are backups or practice squad players. No. 1: Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars No. 2: Zach Wilson, New York Jets No. 3: Trey Lance, San Francisco 49ers No. 11: Justin Fields, Chicago Bears No. 15: Mac Jones, New England Patriots No. 64: Kyle Trask, Tampa Bay Buccaneers No. 66: Kellen Mond, Minnesota Vikings No. 67: Davis Mills, Houston Texans No 133 Ian Book New Orleans No 218 Sam Ehlinger Indianapolis
  4. A better solution is never start a physical confrontation because you have no idea who he has as reinforcements. If some guy came over & grabbed me I'd hope someone with a better angle would come & knock the guy out. There's no such thing as mano y mano when the guy comes over & physically attacks another person no matter what the other guy said.
  5. Back in the late 1980s in the old stadium I had Patriot fans throwing beer cans at me. I yelled to security who could see what was going on & they ignored me. Now I guess it's what I yelled to security**, but they had no right to do nothing. I had to move away from the friends I went with to an all Bills fans section. **Full disclosure: I yelled "Security, they're throwing beer cans at me. If one of them hits me I'll sue your f'n stadium"
  6. The guy who died started the physical confrontation. Looks like what you're calling a sucker punch was an attempt to stop someone who was harming another person. The lawyers will sort it out, but I bet the guy who threw the punch will say he feared for the life of the person Mooney was assaulting. Video Kilmartin recorded shows Dale Mooney as he approaches a group of fans on the 300-level of the stadium. "He basically grabbed another fan," Kilmartin said. "They started tussling around for a few minutes. At one point, another fan walked over. He punched him ... and the man just went out. It was pretty hard to watch."
  7. I'm in a pool with 379 entries. We've already lost 147 after 2 weeks. I have 2 entries. Week 1 I picked Jacksonville & Baltimore. Week 2 Bills & Dallas. This week I'm on SF & KC but it looks like a lot of games that look 1 sided, so I don't think we'll lose many entries this week.
  8. I put the vomit emogi up because I almost did when I watched it.
  9. You can tell who bet the Browns by the demands for PI
  10. No PI when it's that far out of bounds. Go look up what an uncatchable ball is and get back to us.
  11. Uncatchable, far out of bounds. If he catches it it's incomplete.
  12. Watson throws it out of bounds and Watson wants PI.
  13. He's broken. He'll never be a top QB again. Cincy might as well tank for Caleb.
  14. The commercial isn't How I Met Your Mother.
  15. I expect Jason Whitlock to say Burrow isn't working hard enough and Ja'Marr Chase is tired of his laziness and that Burrow needs a good strip joint to go to.
  16. The guy who knocked him down was our own blocker
  17. Some fan had a sign that was hung over the 1st row railing either in the club level or upper deck that said "Bo knows the Raiders suck". Security made them remove it before the start of the game.
  18. Remember when some of us wanted to draft Breese Hall and the naysayers were saying "You can't draft a RB in the 1st round". So it turned out they were right about the Bills not drafting a RB in the 1st & instead the Bills drafted Mr. Inactive Kaiir Elam. Next time draft the RB and stop with this stupid philosophy of no 1st round RBs.
  19. I've seen Daniel Jones play for 4 seasons & today. It's a long period of mediocrity. I'm in Giants territory, so I see them play more than any team except the Bills.
  20. The Giants management learned nothing about the QB position when they were with the Bills. When the Bills made the playoffs in 2017 Beane & McDermott realized they would be spinning their wheels with Tyrod & traded him with no QB on the roster other than Peterman and then McCarron. They had no idea if they'd get a franchise QB in the draft, but they knew better than go any further with Tyrod. Meanwhile the Giants re-signed Jones this off-season to a contract worthy of a guy who can get you in the playoffs every year ignoring the fluke playoff appearance & playoff victory before playing against Philadelphia like the 2017 Bills played in Jacksonville. I thought the Giants were crazy to give Daniel Jones that much money at the time & Jones has done nothing tonight to prove me wrong.
  21. Jacksonville @ Indianapolis. I can't watch it except for some Redzone stuff, but it's the only game I put money on this weekend. I bet Jacksonville -4.5.
  22. Basically, although it varies by TV what the message to program it is. Around here, every now & then a station will change its signal and announce that you have to reprogram it. The stations are scattered in different towns/cities so they come from different directions. I really have to play around to get all the stations I want & then have to move the antenna to different spots depending on the station. Fortunately, all the stations are working on Verizon Fios after they settled with Nexstar earlier this year, so I haven't had to switch to over the air for a while now. .
