The Buffalo Bills are 8-3 for the first time since 1996. I don't know what to do with myself.

To be entirely fair, the woman who wrote that sonnet (Emma Lazerus) was also rich as shit and could afford to say things such as "sure, we must take in everyone". It's like Hollywood actors saying the same thing but not willing to house those same people in their own gated neighbourhoods. She was also mostly referring to Russian Jews who were fleeing pogroms and worked almost exclusively for Jewish immigrants to America. Maybe if she had been working class, she would have had a different opinion.

You are going to have to explain how British Imperialism did more harm than good to Botswana rather than say "holy shit".

Imperialism isn't this terrible thing that only harmed people. That's a serious historical mistake you're making. For example, compare modern day Zimbabwe to Botswana, both countries where the British came in and colonized the shit out of them. One of the two countries threw off the entire yoke of Western civilization... and spawned one of the most infamous despots of the last century. Meanwhile, the other is probably the single most stable African nation of the last fifty years and that was all thanks to British Imperialism.

Why can't Buffalo just win with a blowout at least once this season? 23-14 at halftime is scary.

I have to agree with Ana for the most part on this one. I wouldn't have an issue with Rudolph getting a 1 game suspension for his actions like Pouncey but that was well after Garrett hit him late after the play.

My dad and I were talking about the Myles Garrett helmet swing today. I think Garrett should be suspended until 2021 at least (season and a half). My dad thinks lifetime ban is a better punishment. And there are morons on cable television arguing that the rest of the season is too harsh of a punishment. Myles Garrett did irreparable harm to the sport last night. Rich Eisen's take is spot on when he says that Garrett was lucky that he didn't hit Mason Rudolph with the crown of the helmet instead of the base because Garrett could have actually killed the Steelers QB on the field, no exaggeration.

Cleveland was 8th and Goal from the 1 and still couldn't punch the ball in. Damn.

The Bills one had me dying. Enjoy.

Who do you prefer? Tannehill or Mariota?

Fuck the Dolphins. I hate this team more than I hate the Jets. Finally put them away but but goddamn, that was terrifying. Josh Allen is a monster.

Looks like Miami has won the Tank Bowl! 10-6 is becoming more realistic as the weeks pass on. Dolphins twice, Redskins and Broncos at home, Browns and Steelers make it 9 and then we need to snag one more win from somewhere and Jets at home is probably the most likely.

Serious question. If (example) James Harrison had ever hit Andy Dalton or Joe Flacco in this manner, would you call for Harrison's ejection even though you knew that it would probably cost you the win? Is it the hit that bothers you or is it the fact that the guy hit is a Steeler? My guess is the second because of how you cannot let this go. This was an accident. It's one of the dangers of football. Either you agree that we need to move to flag football entirely (non-contact) or you accept that this hit is sometimes going to happen without anyone being at fault. Anyway, the football gods require sacrifices! First lamb on the block... JAY GRUDEN.

Mason Rudolph was hit jumping into the air while throwing a football. If that's a fine, then we need to eliminate all tacking entirely and turn the NFL into flag football. Proof: Rudolph is an unfortunate injury that happens in football. This is not Vontaze Burfict headhunting defenseless recievers.

If that forward pass wasn't called back, I would have been pissed to hell. Man, your D is rough. Tough luck that you went up against the best D in the league. Ben's willing to lie about raping a woman; you don't think he's capable of lying about who dressed him? Your worship of that man is creepy.
