Things won’t "heat up" unless people stop watching. Only then we will see changes for sure. Unfortunately that won’t happen.
Why change anything? They're raking it in.
As I once heard Steve Young say (paraphrasing), when you have a product with an inelastic demand, you can do whatever you want.

While I agree with Trump on issues like immigration I don't agree on sanctions and tariffs. What he's saying to the rest of the world is America is going to compete but we have to win every time and if we don't we'll change the rules until we do. Basically declaring economic war on everyone.
What can they do in response? One approach, submit and declare their obedience. Or eliminate the US dollar from their system of reserves and transaction settlement is another. Form greater trade alliances with other nations without Washington is another.
Send them into the arms of Russia and China.

I don’t think the games are rigged- I think that the officiating could be fixed by adding 10-20M to their books with technology and payroll. They have decided not to do it for 15 years. The technology is there. Buy it. Use it.
What technology? Can you be specific?

The gambling angle is one of reasons why the referees would be so obviously incompetent. I don’t think they’re being compromised by betting interests but the system for ball placement promotes inaccuracy and the fact that they rarely change the call on the field diminishes the ability to change it with replays. It’s amateurish to ask elderly men stationed 20 yards from the ball to accurately place the ball which is camouflaged by 6 or 8 football players. It’s the easiest way to determine the outcome of a game.
Define elderly.
Walt Coleman etc retired a long time ago.
The average age of an NFL official is 51.
I don't see "elderly" officials. Maybe you could name 1?
Would young inexperienced officials be better?

Gross
Besides that, How much is it gonna cost to give a drug test to over 1,000,000 people? Not to mention all the law suits etc that the DOJ will have to defend. Then they'll probably have to send the failures to rehab. Government jobs have rules about this kind of stuff.
I thought we were trying to save money.
They think they can fire these people and they'll just go away.
As far as the trying to get government employees to quit,it shows a total misunderstanding of government employees. They stay in their jobs so they can retire in 20 or so years and get nice pension. They're not gonna quit just cuz they don't like Trump, they'll just knuckle under until he's gone to keep their pension. (8 months pay < life Lont pension) I once worked with a guy on a computer project that had 2 pensions from 2 different government jobs.

The Chiefs won and Bills fans complaining about officiating is a bad look. Unfortunately the ball placements by these old guys, 20 yds away and camouflaged by 8 monstrous humans was obviously poor and lends itself to a bias accusation or at best just incompetence. Advancements in technology used in other sports coupled with the NFL’s undeniable connection to sports betting makes you wonder why team owners won’t call for a better system to give the game more credibility. The call denying Buffalo of the 1st down at the end of the game before KC kicked the winning FG was a game changing mistake that any objective observer could see and taints the outcomes of the biggest game of the year. If you’re going to push betting so hard like the NFL does, you would hope that Goodell would at least make a statement acknowledging the mistake and say they will explore a better system for placements.
Fitz the Harvard grad has the best idea I've heard so far. This is brilliant.

What a short or selective memory you have, there have been many published stories about Josh working in the offseason w the guys.
Ok. I stand corrected if you're right. Here is a clip of Josh talking about what he does in the off season.
Not saying you're wrong. Can you provide one of these published articles?

Your annual reminder that Josh Allen doesn't workout. But hey he's a good golfer. Here's Jalen Hurts (who is undefeated on tush pushes) squatting 600 pounds...

This irritates me about Josh. Mahomes and others get together in the off season with tgeir WRs and practice on their own. Not sure, but I don't think I've read of Josh doing this. Maybe he does. If not, he should. Joe Burrow goes to bed at 8:00 every night during the season. This is who we are competing against.
After you retire there will be plenty if time for golf.

I wouldn't even say 3 steps. Have you caught the ball with 2 feet or an equivalent body part on the ground? If so, catch. If you then drop it, fumble.
That's cool.
My real point is that a simple easy to verify rule in real time and on replay would be very easy to do if they were so inclined. Evidently they're not for some unknown reason.

I think the ball clearly hit the ground with no hand underneath it and that is where I just wish they'd simplify the rule. That is no catch. I thought there was clearly enough evidence to overturn that to be honest but introducing this "control" element which is open to interpretation confuses things.
I think these rules about a catch and others are intentional to give them wiggle room when they need it.
If you and I got together I'd bet we could wrote a new catch rule for the NFL that was easy to understand and enforce in about 10 minutes.
Something like " catch the football and run 3 steps. For sideline catches player must have possession of the football with 2 feet in bounds."
This could be easily verified on replay.
But instead they get experts together to write a new rule that is even more convoluted. They put in even more nebulous subjective language like "football move" and "process of the catch".
This is by design IMHO.

Ok then. Rock on Q! play it backwards. Meanwhile this is what I meant for weirdo in NC
Ah, The Doors.. Now you're talkin'. I like them a lot more than The Beatles. The MVP of that band was Ray Manzarek IMHO. They didn't even need a bass player cuz Ray could play the bass parts with his left hand and everything else with his right hand.

sir, I’m not even really trying to score that many more points.
im fine breaking even in the regular season scoring if having another good weapon saves Josh from a month of putting the team on his back when shakir rolls and ankle and we have Keon/hollins on the perimeter.
imagine a world where Josh is healthier, and we haven’t dug near as deep in the bag of tricks and can actually kick it up another gear in January
Josh broke both of his hands this year running the football. That's how he gets injured. Every year he's got an injured hand or elbow or something from running the football.
Its time to start transitioning Wonder Boy into a pocket passer. He can throw well enough for that. keep him healthy. He's not getting any younger. We have been fortunate that he has never had an injury costing him to miss games since 2018 but it could certainly happen.
And, I believe our offense could score MORE points with a better defense. One that can actually get stops and get the ball back to the offense. And when we did have the ball we wouldn't have to have long drives to keep our defense off the field. I believe that was our whole offensive strategy in the playoffs. Keep the defense off the field. We could be a lot more aggressive down field without having to worry about giving ball back to the other team so as to keep our defense off the field.
I was in Buffalo on bidness one time and listened to Steve Tasker on the radio. He was talking about Hot Rod running the football. He said it can be effective but what happens is the QB while getting tackled will jam his thumb or twist his ankle so he gets bunged up. That's what we're seeing now with Wonder Boy. Knock it off.
That's my prescription. Improve the D so they can actually get stops. Have Josh run A LOT less and shelve the Brotherly Shnow Plow Push so Josh doesn't break any more hands.

No idea. Good song. Not their best
I listened to a little bit of it of it. I'm not a Beatles fan at all but it sounds like there are no drums.
It's kind of a drummer's conspiracy theory that Bernard Purdie (Motown drummer, played with Aretha and everyone else) played on some Beatles tracks.

I'm sure you're the only human who ever considered the condons of Arginine. Perhaps u should write a sci fi plot...
Did Ringo Starr play drums on this one or was it Bernard Purdie?

setting aside the ref issue I’d be real curious to see more of their magic bullet because it’s been years of the same play and they stopped it more times in that game than the rest of the league since 2022
Washington Football Team stopped Philly a couple of times in the NFC Championship game.
I have seen many unstoppable plays in football over the years that were then figured out. Starting with the wishbone. 10 years ago the play where you put the football on the RBs belly and then pull it out if the DE crashes in was considered unstoppable. Now the Brotherly Shove. I think its close to being solved as well.
I'm not a fan of the play and hope we never run it again.

On the last one they had Shakir pushing. Little ole Shakir. All 190 pounds. Puzzling to me. Where was Gilliam or somebody big?

Yikes. You should see me at my massages now - I keep my hands hidden and think about baseball.
Why do these always take so long to come out? Also if he gets cut and Bass struggles again….. jk. He was my favorite kicker and picked him for fantasy every year. But much like when I had Adrian Peterson as a keeper from his rookie year, character counts. Sorry Justin but you will no longer be a member of Drilled & Filled going forward.
Same here. I've had him the last 2 or 3 years. If this turns out to be true, The Mighty Malamutes will be getting a new kicker next year. Hopefully I can get Bass.

At Beane's press conference last year did you expect the Bills to jettison Diggs, Morse, Poyer, Hyde, Davis, etc.?
Of course you didn't, because Beane doesn't owe anyone any insight into how he's going to tweak the roster going forward.
Lighten up.
Nobody lies like a NFL GM. He ain't gonna tell you what he's gonna do and tip his hand. If anything, he's gonna tell he's doing one thing and then do another like signing Von Miller for example.
We'll just have to wait to see what he does unless Terry fires him first.

Im late to this and watching it on YouTube. I rewind it to beginning. It would be nice if they could mic up the damn questions.
No crap. With all the video/audio equipment they have these days why can't we hear the questions? For a while I tried to crank the volume up when it came to a question and turn it back down. PITA. Then I turned on closed caption for a few minutes, then said ***** it and quit watching.
It sounded like maybe they had a Mic for questioners since it got really loud when the dude started coughing.

Who had this on their 2025 Bingo card?
This is a little misleading. I looked up the annual snow fall in Juneau and what they're seeing is not unusual.
QuoteThese averages don't show how much the snowfall in Juneau varies from year to year.
In December, for instance, one in four years totals over 25.2 inches of snow. Another 25 percent of years receive less than 10.6 inches for the month.
Similarly in January, fresh snowfall in the heaviest years amounts to over 31.6 inches, while the lightest years get less than 13.8 inches.

At the very least, bring it make as an alternate. Absolutely no reason why not. White helmets are amazing. Red helmets were also amazing in their own right. Give us the best of both worlds. WHY THE HELL HASN'T THIS HAPPENED?? ....i want some answers!... (i know i won't get any, but i still want some..)
This is what I think. When we do throw backs, instead of just putting a standing buffalo sticker on the helmet, do full on 90s red helmet throw backs. Would be sweet.

I was watching Super Bowl XII highlights today. 15 years after what we're talking about. Almost every Doomsday Defense sack or near sack would be roughing the passer today. Josh would be sacked and landed on even after he threw the ball. Defenses were playing bump 'n run and holding past 5 yards was OK. Warren Wells was playing. All of this would play havoc on his accuracy and completion percentages. When he ran with the ball they'd take his head off which is why Roger Staubach invented the slide after it happened to him a few times.
And, Josh wouldn't have all the nutritional and training methods players have today. And he'd probably be eating doughnuts and smoking cigarettes at 1/2 time.
It was a different game back then.
