    Double yup. I knee-jerked about TT after the Carolina loss and poor clock management. I'm now firmly, essentially permanently in the camp described above. He's a decent-to-good NFL starter. He's worth keeping on and keeping around. And they should also be taking hard runs at drafting a successor to him. Well, there's reason 27A I never go there. Ever. White from WGR had it right earlier this week: 90% or so of Bills fans have an accurate understanding of what Taylor is and is not, and are okay with it. The remaining 10% are split on the guy ("Tyrod the GOD!" "He's a bum!") and are constantly screaming at each other. Now, now. ... point taken, though.

    The Belichick story is not inconsistent with the other rumours about how Kraft directed the Garappolo trade so as to preserve Brady's spot as a forever-Patriot. Also, I very much enjoyed Bomani Jones on Tom Brady's training techniques being a snake oil con.

    ^ Holy shnikes - that is cheap.

    On KB: He's gotta be big and powerful because he is out-running or out-quicking exactly no one. Thinking of him more like a TE is probably helpful, to a point. Thing is, though, he gets covered by DBs, not LBs. Speaking of LBs - we need him to watch his. Okay, okay. I'm excited by the move - if only it indicates that the team is making a hard push for the playoffs.

    I’m reading Tweets to the effect that the Garappolo trade is an indictment of the 2018 QB class. SF was gonna have the pick of the crop, and was like “nope.” I also saw some Tweeter sourcing about how this was a Kraft move. That Belichick is all (football) business, and was contemplating trading Brady after this season.

    ^ I'm legitimately torn between wanting the team to bring on a talent at WR and wanting to see them continue on as-is (because it's such a feel good story). At some point, though - you need more talent.

    You're probably thinking that I'm alluding to something other than bourbon.

    Dr. Smell would be happy to prescribe you something. Hell, I’ll even dispense it for, and consume it along side you.
  9. That Aud Smell
    Yeah. You may want to up the dosage. Also: No one in my office wants or needs to see my Tom Selleck level of chest hair.

    I won't say what's weirder -- because, honestly, just wear what makes you comfortable so long as it's within reason -- but I will agree that the primary purpose of my undershirts is to preserve my dress shirts from perma-sweat stains. I'm honestly unclear on what the practical purpose of that style of undershirt is. (And, in deference to my daughter who, upon hearing it for the very first time, genuinely found the term offensive, I'm gonna try not to call them "wife beaters.")

    Not my question to answer, but that is how I took it.

    Re Moulson: I can't agree. There were other ways to get that done.

    That's a look I routinely have.* Come at me, bruh. *Not for any good reason**; just because I don't have the time or energy or inclination to do something different. **Although maybe the fact that I don't want tufts of my chest hair featured in an office setting is a reason.

    Brady’s gonna play until he’s 50.

    Ya, okay FGMTM sucks at talent evaluation too. Ha. I dunno. I read his resume at one point with all his hits (and purported should’ve hits, but his guy wasn’t chosen), and it was pretty impressive.
  16. That Aud Smell
    Yes. Because Sean the Wrestler has cracked The Matrix code.

    This is a great point, and one I've heard made from time to time. It really is staggering that, in the modern parity-rich NFL, a team could manage to stay out of the increasingly inclusive playoffs for THAT long. It's nothing short of remarkable.
  18. That Aud Smell
    I hadn't realized that's the ratio so far. It may be unsustainable over a long stretch, but maybe the Bills can keep whistling past the grave yard for the next 9 or so?
  19. That Aud Smell
    Eeesh. This is not only unduly harsh, but it's analytically flawed. From what we learned, the guy damn near died a few months ago. I'm eager to see him return to form, but the fact that he hasn't is very much understandable.
  20. That Aud Smell
    I'm beginning to think maybe not. The contracts given to Moulson and, to a lesser degree, Okposo are not good. His abilities as a talent evaluator, I'm sure, are good to very good. But I don't think he really knew how to manage assets and cap space.
  21. That Aud Smell
    I have no independent recollection of wha happen there, but I'll accept that as true. I reckon it goes to prove the point: You gotta be good, and then you gotta be lucky. (I also reckon that, if you're great, you don't need to be as lucky.)
  22. That Aud Smell
    I don't disagree with any of that, but the reality is that the Bills have caught a LOT of breaks so far this season. If the same breaks were more against them, they are probably 4-3 or 3-4. But, hey - I'll take it. I know there's an expression about how you make your own luck with how hard you work, etc., but, really, when it comes to random-ass-sh1t like fumble recoveries, you mostly just need to be lucky. I can't find any reason to deny that the Bills are a good football team.
  23. That Aud Smell
    Haha - seriously?
  24. That Aud Smell
    I am very much enjoying the team's success. That said, I am mindful that the likely difference between 5-2 and 3-4 is catching the breaks. Fumble recoveries, and things like that. Whatever, though. The team needs to play well enough to have the breaks matter. This is fun.
  25. That Aud Smell
    Precisely. Taro said it as well: If Dareus were performing near his capabilities, this would’ve been a different proposition.
