Boy, Draymond Green. What a character.

I don’t know if I even want Josh Allen to be my QB anymore

 

and yes I am a disgruntled Bills fan

And a dumb Bills fan. Josh Allen didn't drop any passes or put too many men on the field or commit DPI.

I'd say it's more a season from hell than it is that they're "actually bad."

So, is Buffalo “actually bad” now?

Yes to both. Everything is going wrong for them, but for good teams, everything doesn't go wrong.

You can see the talent,  but you can also see the stupidity.

Bring in Harbaugh.

I appreciate the research, but as an American, I trust my gut more, thank you.

And...the Chiefs seem to play 13 home games every season. Like you, I'm not big on conspiracies, but if I were, I'd think the NFL wants the Chiefs to face as little resistance as possible on their annual journey to the AFC title game.

The Bills will have played at Arrowhead in 21, 22 and 23.

This year, the Chiefs have the Eagles, Bills and Bengals all at home (Bills on the road for each).

In 2024, the Chiefs have Cincinnati and Baltimore at home and play the NFC South (they at least ideas be on the ideas against the AFC East 1).

They keep on getting away with it!

Meanwhile, and there may have been one somewhere, I'm trying to remember the last time the Chiefs actually played, outside their division, an actual tough opponent on the road*. It seems the last three or four years all their high-profile actually [supposed-to-be] tough matches have been at Arrowhead.

 

I've been on this for three years now. I don't often believe in conspiracies, but sometimes I do.

Can I offer the perspective of someone who isn't a fan of either team?

 

Ten minutes into the game, it was obvious that the Bills weren't going to win. The final score made that game look a lot closer than it ever really was. The Bengals were never in any real danger of letting it get away from them.

Buffalo is a good bad team. And I'm not even sure about that.

It wouldn't be the worst thing for them to flame out, get a good draft pick, and come back to play a third place schedule.

Getting Cincinnati, KC and Philly all on the road is wild. This isn't their year.

Regardless of the call, Cincy was winning this game. They were on their way to scoring again on the final drive, but just took knees to run out the clock.

I don't know how you could say that. Had the Bills been in position for a FG (which they were), they would have entered the half down 21-10, which is different than 21-7. And if the Bills had still scored out of the half, then they're down 21-13, which is down one score instead of two.

Eventually the Bills cut it to 24-18. Had it been 24-21, you have a completely different strategy.

Anyway, the Bills lost in large part because 1. Dalton Kincaid fumbled when he shouldn't have and 2. they couldn't get a stop at the end.

But playing for FGs is different than playing for TDs, and the refs took three possible points off the board. To say nothing of the missed tripping call that also took time off the clock for Buffalo.

(And that's to say nothing of the phantom roughing the passer call that ended up in that third first half TD for the Bengals).

Great teams can overcome a calvalcade of bad calls, but good teams at least need the game to be called fairly. Last night the key calls went against Buffalo. And they're not good enough to overcome that, clearly.

Missed trip and an absurd intentional grounding call.

SNF refs are the worst refs. What a stupid game.

Do NFL refs get especially excited for SNF too? Like, "this is my time to shine!!"

Because, boy, there sure is a lot more of the refs than anything else tonight.

On the Yes Network, the color commentator was saying she was having a hard time watching the game with the red court and couldn't make out who was who.

I bet that wasn't going over well.

The NBA and this stupid tournament and stupid special courts is dumb as hell.

Wemby is HIM

Everyone is HIM.

I think that's my least favorite NBAism. Maybe second behind "he put him on a poster!"

Who's even making posters anyway?

Wemby might actually be the guy who lives up to the hype. 38-10-2 in 34 minutes with a +21 in an 11-point win over the KD and Booker Suns.

Mark is doing the best he can, okay?

Harden is just so funny.

Niners got that GOOD D.

Kind of feels like Josh Dobbs would have been better for them

Lovely that James Harden did exactly nothing for Philly and they honored his trade demand, while Portland couldn't be bothered with what Damian Lillard wanted.

Dame didn't nuke his value the same way Harden did, and Harden doesn't care about his career the same way Dame does.

They're similar situations, but ultimately very different. Especially considering how much better Portland did on recouping value.

Phila is not competing with Milwaukee and Boston this year either way if Harden doesn't want to do his job. So same outcome but extra picks and fewer bad vibes, though a revolving door of old guys at power forward will probably make for some memes on the court this season. Assuming their situation isn't totally radioactive by next summer they'll be a big free agency player.

There seems to be still a decent chance Embiid asks for a trade and this whole thing combusts on itself.

I hope we end up at least being done with econ nerds running basketball teams for a while.

Morey didn't get the guy he was in love with (Mann, whoever that is), so I'm guessing the league office got involved and encouraged Josh Harris to direct his employee to give the declining star what he wants. Maybe the pick swap will be worth something, if it activates after the transmission finally falls out for good on this cobbled-together Clippers' "superteam" that's always on at least one donut tire come April.

Yes. Philly got hosed and who knows what the Clippers have.

Isn't it hilarious the current Ballon D'or winner is in MLS?

Exactly, it was a hard-fought game.

 

After that, Kaepernick started to decline, parallel to Harbaugh becoming the crazy fella we know and love (to make fun of) today. Also, the majority of the Super Bowl contender Niners players left during the 2014-15 offseason, accelerating Kaep's decline. You seemed to ignore my larger point about the dishonesty of pretending that Kaepernick was still a top-tier player after 2013/14. He simply was not, especially not in an organization that was hell-bent on creating a hostile environment for players and coaches.

I wasn't closely following, but I remember Kap as having a lot to give after the kneeling stuff. The Niners were a joke organization, as you said, so it stands to reason he would have had more to give to a functional team.

The Hawks barely won that game though. Richard Sherman needed to be Mr. Fantastic or Crabtree wins the game.

This is fun:

Kap was an excellent QB and was robbed of prime years because of politics. Got the 49ers to a Super Bowl and almost another.

He's so clearly the best post-Young SF QB.

Recreating the wonderful CHEFS Snickers commercial with the exact same thing but the hidden punchline of "remember the better version of this?" is a crime.
