    https://www.iltalehti.fi/nhl/a/ef2c162d-e23e-4b60-b8b3-986d2da28043 According to the google translation of this article, Laine is dumping on his coach for not playing him with stars, explicitly mentioning that Maurice obviously loves Little, who is implied to be not good by Laine from what I can see. 

    No thanks on this guy

    So Laine is like the rest of us and gets frustrated when a coach irrationally loves a washed-up vet? Meh.

    Steelers acquire Fitzpatrick from Dolphins, no not that one, for a 2020 First Round Pick 

    What a horrible trade for Pittsburgh. Their defense is way worse than any 1 CB can fix (let alone a middling guy like Fitzpatrick), and they kinda sorta don't have a QB.

    Trading up for Mitch for sure. Mahomes and Watson had their questions, and with Watson's health issues he still has his questions. Plus, Mahomes isn't Mahomes without those weapons, Smith to help him develop, and possibly the greatest offensive coach of all time to guide him

    I think this is total nonsense. In the past year he's lost his star RB, center, and now best WR for awhile. They have no running game to speak of and he just turned somebody named Demarcus Robinson into a star. He's amazing just admit it and the pain it brings.

    Thats not nothing for the Bills. They play the stillers week 15, plus it makes that wildcard spot easier. Not that they were any great shakes this year BEFORE that, but this should essentially kill Pittsburgh playoff homes entirely.

    Unless Mason Rudolph is good. I don't think he will be, but stranger things have happened.

    Give Poyer some credit there - that was beautiful. 

    This is the first time I've ever seen the Bills beat the Giants, and it's the first time the Bills have conquered Eli 

    Oh, it was a great catch. I just don't think Eli had to blindly chuck it in that spot.

    So you’re basically saying I don’t care what anyone in the organization is saying, only what they are doing.Which of course is prudent.

    That doesn’t mean that PA is wrong when he says the commentary about Krueger seems greater than what one normally observes. Or that I’m wrong when I say Krueger makes a better impression on me as someone I’d follow than our previous two coaches.

    I'm not saying anyone is wrong, per se. But we all see what we want to see until we all see it. Ya know?

    You never heard of “meet the new boss, the same as the old boss?” pretty common workplace reaction.

    You’re not buying what he’s selling. Neither is Thorny. Shouldn’t beaten-down guys like Jack and Risto be similarly sceptical?

    Internally, yes. Externally? I'd expect them to say exactly what they're saying. They may genuinely believe what they're saying, but it'd look exactly the same if they didn't. Observational equivalence.

    Sounds to me like Krueger is doing a good job of getting his staff on board with his program.

    Doesn’t mean he will be successful or not, but it seems to me a necessary first step, and I disagree with Blue that it’s underground: seems to me to be the most commonly cited flaw when a coach gets let go, and thus a hurdle many coaches fail to clear.

    But nobody fails to clear it in their opening training camp. Seriously. Find me an example of coaching staff discord in offseason #1. Of course failure it cited on dismissal.
