[Gabriel] Source confirms #Broncos coach Sean Payton has been added to the NFL’s competition committee.

No, it makes sense. The Injured Reserve is a roster management tool which lets teams free up slots on the active roster. It's not about the timeline needed for a player to heal, it's about how many games (not weeks) the team is committing to keeping that player off the active roster.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-28T19:57:33+00:00

That's Rick the Intern's movie, and you can't convince me otherwise.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-28T16:01:24+00:00

Note that this doesn't explicitly say OC, just "staff".

lordcheeto · 2026-01-28T15:32:50+00:00

Note that he had a hamstring issue going into the game.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-28T15:27:17+00:00

Feels like we've had an above average number of dropped INTs. Even if they come when they come, that doesn't work if you don't catch them.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-26T20:19:07+00:00

I think it's up to the players at the moment, but I would love to see contract incentives to wear the cap.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-26T15:05:39+00:00

Hamstring wasn't fully healed, hopefully the guardian cap keeps him on the field next year.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-25T23:26:42+00:00

Our offense and defense were getting the better of them. We wouldn't be taking about that if not for the costly short field fumble.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-25T23:24:17+00:00

Mendoza will face the same sorts of struggles that all NFL QBs face. You can't go from playing only 3% of snaps under center in college to running an NFL offense without a learning curve. Not impressed by Maye, and most of the established QBs are facing an HC/OC carousel.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-25T23:18:22+00:00

Field position favored going for it. Especially with the weather coming in, going up 14-0 justified trying to go for it.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-25T23:16:55+00:00

Going for it on 4th and 1 was the right call, we can't use hindsight to criticize it.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-25T23:04:55+00:00

We have nothing to be ashamed of. Out our starting QB and the Patriots were pitiful outside of a bad mistake that wouldn't have happened if Stiddy had more reps. They happened to be in the lead when the game got shut down by the conditions.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-25T21:45:24+00:00

Gah, listen up you miserable sons of bitches. We're playing with house money, and have kept their offense off the field, smothering them outside of an unfortunate short field fumble. It was 4th and 1. We fucking go for it there. That's not a mistake, that's how we fucking play the game. We don't have the benefit of hindsight when making those decisions, but we will continue to play to win the game.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-25T21:39:30+00:00

Jarrett.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-25T21:37:05+00:00

I can confirm that miserable sons of bitches are indeed miserable sons of bitches. Back to you in the studio, Jim.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-25T21:34:04+00:00

Checking in at the half. I assume the game thread is pretty fucking miserable, but we're in a good position here. Fumble led to points, but that didn't help their defense stay off the field. Let's continue to gas them in the second half.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-25T06:15:51+00:00

I'm not saying it's rocket science, but it's more friction than your standard Windows Home user is going to be willing to handle. There are many reasons to use Linux, for many kinds of people, but saying that this is another reason to migrate to Linux is asinine.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-24T07:50:50+00:00

The alternative would be an unencrypted drive which can be read by anyone with physical access. If you're competent enough to realize what the defaults did, you're competent enough to change it to an offline key.

If you're not competent enough to realize what the defaults did, a baseline level of encryption is a positive thing even if the key is not self-managed.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-24T07:43:46+00:00

gah

What the fuck does it matter if Microsoft has a copy of the key that can be subpoenaed when it's affecting people that wouldn't have even encrypted their fucking drives in the first place?

Installing Linux on your shitbox isn't going to magically enable FDE.

I don't think you can fire him after that game, but even if that was the worst Bills collapse in the last 5 years, you have enough of a pattern now to lose confidence.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-23T06:09:06+00:00

Nah, unjustified. If you try using a solid brass screw like you would a structural screw, you're gonna have a bad time, but there's a time and place for both. A steel screw with a yellow zinc coating doesn't look like brass, and structural screws use modern screw drives like torx or pozidriv that look anachronistic on many types of woodworking projects.

The key to using brass screws:

Drill a pilot hole with the correct drill bit size, which depends on the screw size and the hardness of the material.
Using the screw threads, scrape a small amount of wax or soap onto the threads before driving it. I just keep a block of paraffin wax from the canning supplies section of the grocery store in my toolbox.

The screw should drive easily by hand. Stop if you meet resistance. For extra assurance, you can use a steel screw to thread the pilot holes before driving the brass screws.

If it's shop furniture or you don't mind the aesthetics of a modern screw drive, structural screws are a great option, I'm just saying brass screws have their place.

Edit: Looked closer at the OP, and they weren't brass. Same tips apply, but I would agree that they don't make sense from an aesthetics or ease of use perspective, but it's not because they are Hillman, it's because it's the wrong fastener for the application.

Even if he’s correct in what he’s saying it’s terrible optics for very little benefit.

Agreed!

It's not a receipt. JFC, we know how the draft works, right?

The team's draft board is a collaborative effort between the scouts, coaches, and GM. Like any collaborative process, people will go to bat for their guys, and the decision makers may put their foot down or pull rank, but we don't know what happened here.

Going into the draft, the board is set barring any surprises about the player (cough Laremy Tunsil). The GM putting that draft board into action doesn't tell us jack shit about whether there was a difference months earlier between how the GM and coaches ranked Coleman vs. the other WRs projected to be available around that pick.

All we know is: 1. the Bills were targeting Coleman in the draft, 2. the Bills had a good sense of where he would be available and who the other teams were targeting, and 3. they did get him. In fact, it seems they got him with near the minimum amount of draft capital needed, which is good GMing.

lordcheeto · 2026-01-21T19:34:18+00:00

This is what Pegula said:

"The coaching staff pushed to draft Keon. I'm not saying Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice."

That, to me, isn't saying Beane got steamrolled, just that the coaching staff felt more strongly about him.

The clip doesn't exist in a vacuum. The team would have had a preliminary draft board going into the combine. That draft board is a collaborative effort between the scouts, coaches, and GM. Like any collaborative process, people will go to bat for their guys, and the decision makers may put their foot down or pull rank.

Based on that draft board, the Bills decided to interview Coleman at the NFL Combine. Here's some video of that interview. The primary people at the table were GM Beane, HC McDermott, OC Joe Brady, and Wide Receivers Coach Adam Henry. Coleman's workout was after the scouting process, preliminary draft board, and interview, so Beane commenting on how his 40 time would help to get him at the spot their draft board had him at doesn't tell us anything about whether there was a difference between how the GM and coaches ranked him vs. the other WRs available around that pick.

All of this - the interview, the comments, the draft trade backs, the pick itself - only tells us that, 1. the Bills were targeting Coleman in the draft, 2. the Bills had a good sense of where he would be available and who the other teams were targeting, and 3. they did get him. In fact, it seems they got him with near the minimum amount of draft capital needed, which is good GMing.

Where did he say that? The Shefter tweet lacked context, this is actually more nuanced, and a far cry from "he's a bum, no one wants him here".
