Why, did you miss me?

Very disappointing all around, I have to say.

On my 61st birthday, no less. I'm in!

I had no problem with the trade of Kiko for Shady, but I suspect like most, I did have a problem with the contract they gave him.

Now that right there is a work of art. Well done!

Pretty much, yes. I felt compelled to leave a comment, which I rarely do. Probably better if I just avoid it entirely.

New England****, Pittsburgh, Seattle early Vegas favorites to win SB 51 Bills are tied with the Jets and Ravens at 30-1. Interesting that only one team is higher than 60-1, which of course is the Browns at 200-1. Man, it must be really tough being a Cleveland fan. Hope they can turn that around at some point (though not at our expense).

BlueRock Energy @BlueRockEnergy @jDfenz a lot of injuries new scheme Josh Fenster @jDfenz @BlueRockEnergy what do you think of the Rob Ryan hire? BlueRock Energy @BlueRockEnergy @jDfenz Love Rob talked to him a lot during the draft process, excited he's joined our team

It seems to me that Dilfer is talking about two different things. On the one hand, there is the offensive scheme; is it effective? Does it produce? Can it succeed in this league? On the other hand is the concept of teaching; are the coaches good teachers? Do they instill good habits? Do they effectively communicate the scheme to the players? I see these as two completely separate things, but he is implying that they are somehow the same. I'm not sure if Roman and friends are good at both, but it sure seemed to my untrained eye that he was doing a pretty decent job of both. I can see how some (such as dave, and I guess Dilfer) believe the scheme will not produce high-level success in this league, but I think that remains to be seen.

[–]BearsDionazatyl 134 points 2 hours ago How hard is it really to see over your linemen? Does that significantly block your view of your receivers or is it not a huge deal? permalink [–]Tyrod Taylor, Bills QBIAmTyrodTaylor[S] 307 points 2 hours ago Not a huge deal at all. People always make a big point about short quarterbacks having a hard time seeing over the line, but if you have a 6'4 quarterback and a 6'5 lineman, he can't see over it either, so you find ways to throw in-between lanes. You gotta find passing lines as far as stepping up and moving the pocket, but height has never hindered me as far as seeing down the field. And I'm not the shortest quarterback in the league. permalink parent

Love it.

Watching it now, all I could think is that Mean Joe should've turned, said "Hey, kid," and then belched in the most obscene way.

I've never fully understood the concern about having gambling establishments in relative proximity to an NFL team stadium. Also, isn't Phoenix really !@#$ing hot, too?

I remember watching one or two episodes a few years ago and thinking it was pretty good. Haven't seen it since, though.

Clearly, and I would say without question, the most overmatched team in a Super Bowl was the 1985 Patriots against the Bears. That game was a mere formailty. There was not a single person alive who thought that game wouldn't be over after the first quarter.

Seriously, if we can just sign Glenn and Incognito, and maybe Bradham, I'm fine with just relying on the draft to fill holes. I'd really like to keep that left side of the line.

So he would want to sign with Buffalo...why?

Has everyone already forgotten the Patriots' first Super Bowl?

I have definitely heard that this is a phenomenal show. May have to look into it.

That is most definitely the truth. Kid is a very, very good corner.

The play by their defensive backs against Denver, particularly their corners, is some of the best play I've seen this year. They have some remarkably good corners. Which, of course, sucks for us.

My inner patriot can go !@#$ himself.

No kidding. Now that the Pats*** and Packers are out, I can finally enjoy some football.
