Well, that was a catastrophe. The Bills nce again came up short in their quest to knock off the Kansas City Refs. 3rd and 3 and TE Kincaid catches a pass and falls 1/2 a yard past the line. The line judge moves it back a full yard.
SIDE BAR: If I’m McDermott I question that spot. Kincaid clearly had the 1st down.
Next play, it sure looked like Allen got the necessary yard. The left line judge signalled 1st down. The right judge didn’t. Somehow the right LJ gets the call even though the left LJ had the clearer view.
KC kicked a FG and Josh Allens’s last desperation pass saw a defensive holding flag get picked up and swallowed. Game over.
Sigh
SIDE BAR: James Cook needs to touch the ball more.
So, yeah. another fucking game where the chiefs are magically helped by the refs and the football Gods. In meaningful games against the Chiefs, the Bills are 0-4. We are 0-2. Disheartening to. say the least. Josh Allen is the new version of Jim Kelly. Onve FG from his 1st Super Bowl, and 0-4 in the big one.
The Iggles? Fuck ’em but I hope they win. The Commandos played great but just couldn’t hold on to the ball. Their 3 fumbles set up 21 points for Philly. And that’s my worry. The Eagles D wasn’t stopping much but they did force 4 turnovers.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
And Huzzah!!!
The 49ers hired Brant Boyer as their special teams coach.
A guy with actual experience. He spent the last nine seasons as the special teams coordinator with the Jets. He worked under several head coaches and spent the last four seasons on Saleh’s staff.
Like the hire of Brant Boyer a lot as awful as the Jets were it had nothing to do with Boyer as the Jets ST unit was #1 the second half of the season and the only coach to survive 3 head coaching changes including Saleh (who easily has his stamp on bringing him on board in SF now to head the ST unit)he has a ton of experience and his ST will shine here(can’t ever be worst then having the 3 Stooges of Schneider/Sorenson/Staley around..
Another obvious KC Refs call that screwed the Bills was Xavier Worthy ruled catch which wasn’t as the ball clearly touched the ball, but nooo, after further review the Refs said good enough to us which led to a BS TD!!!
I can’t stand either team so I don’t give a fuck who wins. I will find something better to do on SB Sunday. Our new ST coach does have the credentials so I hope it was the scheme and not the players. I imagine we will pick up quite a few new players to try out there anyway. I think it’s about 3 weeks until spring training starts.
Scheme. Just like the defense.
What’s nuts is in both those plays in the KC game, they NEVER brought out the chains.
Ain’t this a hoot…

Spagnola vs Fangio
Reid vs Siriani
I give the edge to KC though Philly has the trenches edge.
Don’t give a shit who wins but I sure don’t want to listen to Eagles fans gloat. And I sure won’t be sitting through a live marketing bonanza.
DVR delay viewing only.
Phuck Philly.
If KC doesn’t control Barkley they lose.
I’m taking the under in this one. Don’t see a shootout.
It was a real joy for me to sit through your 5 titles while my shit team literally went a half a fuckin century without even getting to a goddamn Super Bowl with the “help” of all your reject QBs.
I agree they’re annoying and I would probably hate them too if I wasn’t with them since the days of Chris Burford and Noland Smith but I think that’s fueled by the coverage, internet, social media etc. No one picked on the great Lombardi Packer teams of the 60’s. If Elijah Pitts was dating Diana Ross would anyone know or care? Where were the refs when Ben Davidson was cheap shotting Len Dawson or when Dontari Poe blew the 2018 AFC title game for lining up 3 inches offside?
Love ya Chucky baby!!!
Well at least I know how Bengal fans felt after their two SB loses. So close but no cigar.
Hah! Hey DJ! Loved those early 70s Chiefs. Just a bit sick of them now.
Yeah, my son is suffering his 49er fandom like I suffered my Giants fandom. It was worse with the Giants though as there were so few opportunities for the Giants through all those years of struggle.
I feel for your son thank God I don’t let it affect me like it used too.
As far as the Giants after the 2002 series I gave up ever thinking we would win one in my lifetime. The first time for the SF giants and the Niners were probably the best feelings I ever had as sports go.
Kelce is really the only obvious jackass on the team, but I really think it’s all the coverage, too many Mahomes commercials, his idiot wife, etc that annoy people. Guess I can’t really blame the networks for trying to capitalize (and make a shit-ton of money) off the Taylor Swift high school level nonsense which I just ignore.
The refs seem to be helping here and there but in my biased opinion, I didn’t think there was anything too egregious in the Buffalo game.
Anyway, still hoping we sign Alonso, but that appears to be off the table. I think the Giants might have a top prospect that plays 1B. The next J.R. Phillips most likely…
Eldgridge? Dude looks pretty legit, but we will see. I wonder how fast the needle moves on him as they start his clock. HE’s got to come up sometime this year.
Hello, Loo, nice to see you, hope all’s well…
What I really liked about those WS wins was that we were the underdogs in every one of em. pretty much proof their are baseball Gods.
Heady days. And yeah, after the Godawful Bay Bridge earthquake loss and the Angels disaster, I thought we wouldn’t see the playoffs for quite a while.
Senior Bowl in Mobile Alabama starts today on NFL Network plenty of talented players at all positions to evaluate for NJ and others..
And we’ve got some coaching advantages in Mobile too AK. Good opportunities to evaluate by the people that matter.
Yeah, I read we are sending one coach down there.
Actually have 2 there Winder on the West team. RB and Dline
https://shrinebowl.com/coaches/
NJ- Looks like we have 3 at the east west game but I think only 1 at the senior bowl. Anyway at least we got some people there. Probably some scouts in the stnds also.
We actually have two at the senior bowl KJ Wright defensive ends and Special teams guy named Augest Mangin
GM John Lynch is also there saw him on the sidelines..
He should be at all of em that is his job. I think he goes to most of the pro days also.
Great way to see these prospects in pads. Combine is for medical and measurable data. Still have to figure out value and slotting (which ain’t easy), and who cares about winning football games.
Senior bowl assignment is critical to improving our ST concerns –
Special Teams Coordinator San Francisco 49ers Special Teams Quality Control Coach August Mangin
33rd team website for the senior bowl is good showing every player measurements, height,weight,arm,hand,wingspan and breaking down players pros& cons.
Sorry, but there is so much wrong with that picture!! 80s Jack Casady? Yeeesh.
Never even knew this album existed. They should have gone punk!
I think they did for an fm station. I didn’t know they did this one either. I think it’s the same line up as Surrealistic Pillow. Pretty mild stuff but I liked the words

My current wants for the draft: 1st rd, #1 Banks, OT. If he is gone, Grant DT, Rd 2, Dart QB.
Hey Berger, I’m with you for the trenches. KJ working with the edge guys might be a tell?

I still like the idea of getting the best player available in the 11 slot regardless of position. DE CB S TE on a rookie deal isn’t a bad option IMO.
Saleh would have some influence on DJ for sure. Price tag will be the call.

So far I haven’t believed in any of the conspiracy theories that I have heard but I do believe what my eyes see. This article wants you to believe that it’s all foolishness and that it doesn’t happen. They mention there are to many officials involved for shady shit to happen when all it takes is one crooked official to make it work. All I do know is that whenever there is big money involved there is usually some shady stuff right there.
Exactly Winder. The Vegas influence.
There’s plenty of high definition camera angles now to see the glaring need for challenges to get it right. Eliminate the margins for error.
Top Seniors is simply a sample of the entire Draft class but…
It’s a good indicator of the depth of talent overall IMO.

Key word?
Adjust.
Yeah key word is “ADJUST” for sure, nothing former DC Nick Sorenson knew anything about, he was way out of his league as a DC and that’s on Shanahan letting him stick around out the whole season!!
No worries now with Saleh back at control and he should strongly be involved adding his influence on the draft with Lynch&Shanahan on the DL picks on Edge Rusher,DT,LB ..
