Last One, I Swear (till tomorrow)

Some more hot divisional action, which is a good thing in theory.

To The Game!

Pats/Bills:

-Interesting Matchup: Cook has rushed for 100 yards three games in a row and New England has the best run defense behind Cleveland’s, allowing a mere 3.3 yards per.

-Surprisingly, teams don’t pass on the Bills. They have a -14% pass rate over expectation which far and away leads every team. Perhaps coaches are seeing chinks in Matt Milano’s armor? He once was a tackling machine but age and injuries have caught up to him.

-Start your Kincaid: The Pats give up plenty of points to the tight end position.

-Buffalo took a gamble on oft-injured Joey Bosa but it’s paid off early. He has four forced fumbles and tops everyone with a 23% pass rush win rate. His usage has been conservative though-he plays about 75% of defensive snaps.

-Is Drake Maye “The Guy”? One egghead stat backs up the claim. Of all the second-year QB’s that are starting he’s the only one in the top ten in Expected Points Added per dropback, coming in at 5th.

Let the good times roll.

Mark Sanchez is so inept, this could be a joke but with him, there’s still a chance this is what happened.

Imagine if you had a parlay of UCLA beating Penn State, Broncos beating Philly, and the Pats beating Buffalo.

You could retire.

BC Dick

We could all retire any time. Just depends how you feel about sleeping on concrete.

Pretty good day for winless teams that aren’t the Jets

Watching Tigers-Mariners, (to see who Toronto plays next, natch), and the Mariners just took the lead late and they cut to a guy in the crowd who was overcome to the point of tears.

My brother in Christ, this is the final 8. Get a grip.

That’s all well and good, but how does that impact the Leafs’ chances over the rest of the decade?

Is this a game of football or hot potato?

LemonJello

I was going to say “foot potato” but that would just summon Rex Ryan.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s nonsense, he started the tackle inbounds and it’s not like he did anything excessive once they crossed the boundary.

Although I guess it *was* a hip drop tackle but I thought the NFL’s perspective on that these days was…

Wow man… okay… sorry…

He’s just mad because the phrase ‘Bills Mafia’ reinforces that Italians are filthy criminals who can’t be trusted.

Fortunately I’m Irish and we have no such adverse stereotypes to deal with.

You forgot: getting hammered and fighting my cousin at a wedding; giving long toasts that involve crying and fighting with your cousin at a wedding; and spilling a beer on your aunt and getting in a fight with your cousin at a wedding.

LemonJello

Is that the Irish or the Italians?

Gumbygirl

Yes.

Doktor Zymm

And the reason there are so many weddings is because every family has 14 damn kids

Horatio Cornblower

Wait, are we talking Italians or Irish here? Because brother, I’ve seen both.

Just got a news alert that they pulled a body out of reservoir down the street from my house, which is surrounded by woods, where I walk my dog. Which I did earlier this evening.

This isn’t how I anticipated “making the news,” but here we are.

These two morons are lucky they weren’t killed. Shouting threats, and warning officers the entrances are rigged with explosives while standing, shirtless, on the roof is one way to try to make whatever your point is. It’s not safest or smartest, but it is one way.

Its definitely one way to make your point. Its also a way to get the cops to go straight to “shoot to kill”.

Hunter James Henry you get in this house right now young man.

WCS

And we are back. I sincerely hope this doesn’t turn into another 18 hours. As much as I genuinely do enjoy this, 18 hours is a long time to do anything. Except maybe jerk off?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I believe the technical term for that is “gooning”.

ArmedandHammered

Smoke pot, eat chocolate eclairs, jerk off. Can it be a solid 18 hours of each or can it all be mixed together for the 18 hours?

Horatio Cornblower

I once stayed awake for something like 39 straight hours.

I highly recommend not doing that.

Redshirt

Same here. My record is about 40 hours. Each step felt like there is duct tape on the bottom of my shoes, I felt like I was sweating but with no sweat, my blood felt like it was replaced with battery acid, and when I lied down to sleep, I laid in bed for about an hour feeling my pulse do an impression of a car with a hunting idle.

Horatio Cornblower

This was during my initial introduction to the joys of insomnia. No sleep the night before, drove to work, drove home, (neither of which was a good idea), went to my kids LL practice, helped paint a bedroom, then went to bed.

This time I took a Lunesta and I could literally feel the sleep coming on. I’m not going to say that feeling was better than sex, but I’m not not going to say so either.

Redshirt

For me it was Valerian Root and Melatonin. Its a unique experience being able to remember your dreams for 30 minutes instead of the usual 5 seconds. Plus, occasionally you realize you are dreaming and it becomes a lucid dream you can slightly control.

Horatio Cornblower

Big fan of the melatonin.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Not me.” – Jerry Jones, thinking you are referring to “melanin”

Doktor Zymm

5-HTP gives you some vivid dreams, no idea if it helps me sleep better or improves mood or whatever but the dreams are pretty kickass

Horatio Cornblower

Ambien dreams are the reason I switched over to Lunesta.

Lunesta not having a generic equivalent and being like $300 a month OOP are why I switched over to the occasional melatonin and just taking naps in the afternoon because I work at home and no one checks up on me.

WCS

43-ish is mine. There’s a point where things get… strange.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s really not great.

ArmedandHammered

Yep, due to a med misshapen, was awake for 72 hours, after 40 hours – well reality becomes plastic. Never cold turkey antidepressants, even if the doc says to.

Horatio Cornblower

Oh man! Johnny got cut off for calling the host a “butt-kisser”.

litre_cola

I love your Zona radio recaps.

blaxabbath

I have to back the host on this point: no one in the locker room ever has anything bad to say about Kyler Murray. Maybe it’s because the new soft players are more in touch with everyone having their own emotional challenges/physical handicaps. But, either way, you can say the players on the team never hang Kyler out. I think you get some “leadership” credit for that.

Mike Bidwill’s sexuality aside, it;s a FARE question

Horatio Cornblower

Very glad the Jets didn’t listen to me and draft Baker Mayfield with their first pick, because looking at what they’ve done to every QB since then, (and pretty much before then, for that matter), and just the Jets in general, Mayfield would probably have suffered a career ending injury in his 2nd or 3rd game.

Horatio Cornblower

I have a 95.5 point lead against my Lowratio league opponent, with Hunter Henry still to go, and my opponent down to only James Cook.

Yahoo gives my opponent a 1% chance to win, so get ready for an explosive game for Cook and an equally explosive, (as in “diarrhea”) game from Henry, apparently.
/benches Henry, just to be safe

Gumbygirl

I’m up by 22, with a WR, RB, and a TE still to play. Zymm has nobody left, but Yahoo is still giving her a 1 % chance. Rhamondre Stevenson sucks, but I feel confident he’s not going into negative points.

BC Dick

I need Etienne to lose 10 yards and get injured for the rest of the game and I’ve got an 11% chance. They got the remedial robots working.
