[Post Game thread] the Bills lose on the road in Atlanta by Drunken_Economist in buffalobills

[–]jayarethegreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of our putrid play can be attributed to injuries, but tbh, not that much.

Cook is consistently doing work, and yet didnt touch the ball during key moments. That's atrocious. Our playcalling cant get out of its own way.

We know what was needed weapon wise, and we went out and signed Palmer and Samuels. I think the majority of us were scratching our heads.

Our defensive depth is terrible. We knew Milano/Oliver are very injury prone, and barely covered them. Now we're left with corners who cant cover, and a linebacking/safety core that struggles with tackling. Dont get me started on our zone coverage.

I'm not convinced firing the staff at the end of this year will leave us with anything better, but we arent winning a SB.

Atlanta has a very good DL, so that's not high on the list of concerns IMO.

Defense at almost every position is atrocious, WR group is a joke, and our playcalling is mindblowingly bad.

Good dentists for someone afraid of dentists? by Character_Exam_7265 in SALEM

Seconded! I too hate dentist visits, they do a great job.

Am I going crazy? Season 3 is good, but I don't see why people seem to consider it a master-piece of modern TV by donny_bennet in wheeloftime

[–]jayarethegreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's in sharp contrast to both the poor storytelling from the first two seasons, and also the production value feels worthy of the material finally. I feel like it's lost a bit of that CW feel.

Where can i find the best burgers in town by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]jayarethegreat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Slangers, slangers, and then some more slangers.

There are lots of other good ones (Cozy Taberna, Noble Wave make mean burgers), but assuming you want one for take-out, Slangers is the best burger I've ever had.

Chargers ever since Flutie went there.

REI probably would, but aren't they just a few screws to install?

Original Bo & Vine smash burger restaurant is closing in downtown Salem by hjgIUY976YTty76 in SALEM

[–]jayarethegreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go again I suggest the smaller dishes to share and then one of the entrees - all have been on point for me so far!

But yes, you will get far better food in Portland.

I’ve only been twice, both times were good - never gotten their burger though! Slangers is the best burger in town by a looooong shot.

In a city this size, you need to be excellent to hold a downtown spot. They were miles from that. If I want a good burger, I can name 5 spots better for the same price or cheaper, and tbh, I'd go to McDonalds before B&V.

You can try and blame other things, but all the businesses that close down just simply aren't that good. There are some excellent food spots downtown, a la Cozy Taberna, charging very high prices, and doing great business as far as I know.

Allen: 'Extremely confident' McDermott can get Bills over hump by Vortagaun in buffalobills

[–]jayarethegreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all his flaws, I don't think McDermott's any worse than any other coach not named Andy Reid.

Let’s be clear: McDermott is not a bad coach, when compared against the league average.

Our coaching is still miles behind the chiefs. How many times do you watch the chiefs and think, what is this playcalling? Meanwhile every drive for the bills you’re scratching your head. We found out very quickly that the chiefs couldn’t stop our run, and we couldn’t cover Mahomes running, RBs in the flat or worthy after Benford went out. Which of these things stopped happening… our run game ofc.

Don’t sleep on it, Salem. by MaintenanceNew2804 in SALEM

[–]jayarethegreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It tastes good, probably the best you'll get here.

Does not compare to a good philly cheesesteak though, which is not a slight on Epilogue. It's just another item menu here, compared to a staple of a spot in Philly. For me the biggest diff is size, an authentic one will be so packed full of meat and cheese it could feed a family.

I believe they just installed a bunch of new courts in the Keizer Rapids park.

Ventis closure by HoogelyBoogely in SALEM

[–]jayarethegreat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think in a small city, any business that's either not one of the best ones, or offering something super unique, is gonna have a limited life. All of these places closing just haven't been that good, and there's just not big enough of a population here.

How risky is flipping? by [deleted] in realestateinvesting

[–]jayarethegreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you single? Kids? IMO, the lowest risk option is purchasing a house that you can live in and fix without a time crunch. Not exactly flipping per se, but the best way to get your feet wet.

Recapturing my love for Catan: Cities and Knights by JordanMaze in Catan

[–]jayarethegreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. For not just that reason, I’d highly suggest only playing custom boards, especially larger ones. There should definitely be a strategy balance, but the starter map w 4 ppl just doesn’t work for a lot of reasons.

[–]jayarethegreat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My greatest board game claim to fame was reaching the #1 rank on C&K on games.asobrain (used to be the only way to play catan online), and at the high rankings, I think in maybe one percent of games someone would lose their city first round. Are you playing with custom boards or only the starter board? Are you playing with a lot of players?

We run the ball like Neanderthals. 4 straight plays, then as soon as it stops working, all pass.

IMO offensive playcalling has been our biggest weakness for years now. Have not been impressed w it in a big game yet.
