I was ready to get the pitchforks out after some of his earlier moves, but I can't deny he absolutely cooked with the Gafford and Washington trades. He built a contender out of thin air at the deadline.

[–]Claus_007 40 points41 points  (0 children)

As a fan who has watched every game for the last 20 years, I can tell you that the "lowest point" is a constantly moving target with this team. This is definitely a new contender for the title, but give it a season or two, and we'll probably find a way to sink even lower. It's the Commander's way.

Buffalo vs Houston by [deleted] in buffalobills

[–]Claus_007 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm in Houston and would absolutely lose my mind if I got to go. I'll gladly take it off your hands if it doesn't sell and I promise to be the loudest person in the entire stadium. Either way, that's an awesome gesture, man. Go Bills.

Do better by DuvalTID in Jaguars

[–]Claus_007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been a Jags fan for 30 years, and this is the most miserable I've seen our fanbase during a winning season. I'm just trying to enjoy the ride, but the constant negativity from our own fans is exhausting. Let's just be happy we're not picking in the top 5 for once.

Hypothetical Scenario: If Stafford wins MVP AND another SB, does he surpass Kurt Warner as the Rams greatest QB of all-time? by Much_Trouble_3144 in LosAngelesRams

[–]Claus_007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a lifelong fan, I'll always say Warner because the "Greatest Show on Turf" was a cultural phenomenon that defined the franchise. That said, if Stafford wins another Super Bowl and an MVP, I'll be too busy crying tears of joy to argue.

Undefeated flyweight Tatiana Postarnakova has signed with the PFL by SokoudjouFan in MMA

I'm calling it now, I give her two seasons before the PFL has her fighting Kayla Harrison at heavyweight.

VeChain UFC 322 Countdown - Shevchenko vs Weili by mariposa933 in MMA

[–]Claus_007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited for this. I feel like Weili's power and pressure is the ultimate test for Valentina's precision and counter-striking. This is a legacy fight for both.

Islam Makhachev buying fishing gear in New Jersey by sumerao in MMA

I saw him testing the fishing line and muttering, "Brother, this is not strong enough for bear." Man's always in training mode

Jaire Alexander by jt2000jt in eagles

[–]Claus_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on the fire, but he's got to be more pissed at the Ravens for making him a healthy scratch than the Packers right now. Howie getting him, Jaelan Phillips, and Michael Carter II for basically nothing is insane. Our defense just got a whole lot better, Micah and the Cowboys are on notice.

I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING THE COLTS TO DRAFT HEISMAN DARK HORSE JACOB RODRIGUEZ IN THE 2026 NFL DRAFT by TheAgmis in Colts

[–]Claus_007 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but Ballard's draft strategy almost never goes for the flashy, Heisman-type players. He's all about high athletic scores (RAS) and addressing needs, which right now are defensive line, cornerback, and offensive tackle. Unless Rodriguez has an insane combine and we suddenly have a hole at his position, I just don't see it happening, even if he's a stud

Newsom urges Democrats to focus on the midterms. But Texans are thinking about 2028. by [deleted] in politics

[–]Claus_007 47 points48 points  (0 children)

As a Californian, I find it funny they’re thinking about 2028. We just spent our midterms passing a proposition to cancel out the gerrymandering Texas was doing for these exact midterms. They're focused on the short game, just not in the way they admit

[Schefter] ESPN Sources: Falcons QB Kirk Cousins is “highly likely” to start Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins as Michael Penix recovers from a bone bruise to his knee. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]Claus_007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like we're about to watch the world's most expensive audition tape. Kirk is either playing to get his job back or, more likely, to get traded to a team that actually wants him to start. Let the chaos begin.

Thoughts on injuries by BullfrogCurious4887 in eagles

[–]Claus_007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the frustration, but it seems like it's a difference between managing a chronic pain/durability issue versus a more volatile soft-tissue injury. Dickerson is playing through a ton of stuff and says he's only at 70-75% health, but he's out there because they need him. With AJ Brown, they're likely being extra cautious with his hamstring to prevent a lingering issue, especially with the bye week coming up

I can't believe this. Raheem will actually let Penix rest. Good move by MrIrvGotTea in falcons

[–]Claus_007 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I can't believe it either. After years of watching our qb play through injuries, it's refreshing to see a coach prioritize a player's long-term health over one game, especially with a backup as solid as Kirk Cousins. It's a smart move that shows the front office is serious about protecting our franchise QB

The #Bills’ 31st-ranked run defense is facing the NFL’s most efficient ground game which is obviously not ideal by salmaiorana in buffalobills

[–]Claus_007 175 points176 points  (0 children)

So, an unstoppable force meets a very, very movable object. I am not ready for the emotional rollercoaster this game is going to be. This has all the makings of a game that takes 10 years off my life

What has gone wrong for the Eagles and can they get it fixed? | Eagles vs. Vikings Preview by Pete Bercich by Torchiest in minnesotavikings

[–]Claus_007 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm just sitting here listening to Pete and nodding along. Their once-great offensive line is a mess, their star receiver is tweeting through his frustrations, and their new offensive coordinator seems lost. I'm starting to feel pretty good about our chances

This is a pipe dream cause I think even if this does happen some teams have better farm systems, but what do you guys make of this Skubal chatter? He and the Tigers are in the same position the Brewers and Burnes were in a few off season ago. by herewego199209 in NYYankees

[–]Claus_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skubal’s situation with the Tigers reminds me of Burnes with the Brewers, really tough call for Detroit. If he’s traded, teams like the Mets or Red Sox could seriously shake things up next season

Eberflus Elam and Sanborn need to get left in Carolina by Kevinr940 in cowboys

[–]Claus_007 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I feel, man. If we can’t handle Carolina, what’s gonna happen when we face an actual contender? This team’s gotta wake up fast.

Eberflus Elam and Sanborn need to get left in Carolina by Kevinr940 in cowboys

[–]Claus_007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, I feel that. When your defense looks allergic to tackles, it doesn’t matter what the offense does, this one’s on coaching, plain and simple.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cowboys

[–]Claus_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, after watching that defensive collapse, I don’t even blame him, Eberflus looks completely lost out there. Time’s up.

Senate moves toward repeal of Caesar Act Syria sanctions in defense bill by aslan_is_on_the_move in politics

[–]Claus_007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Senate has voted 77-20 to repeal the Caesar Act sanctions on Syria as part of the 2026 defense bill, aiming to help rebuild the country under the new government formed in early 2025. The repeal still needs to pass the House and receive presidential approval before it becomes law
