I'd be willing to bet that Payton wants to keep Webb as OC and hand off some, if not all, play-calling.

Regarding the play calling, you might want to check Payton's quote from before the game: bsky.app/profile/avsb...

Scientists at Loughborough University create 'world's smallest violin' The violin is smaller than a human hair and has "laid the groundwork" for future research.

Hats off to the #Bills Mafia. Josh Allen is indeed a superhero. This is why Payton wanted the rematch in Denver. But you all probably should have beaten KC one of those times. Now you're looking at a decade of Maye and Nix.

For the #Broncos haters, enjoy a sad song. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Some eye-popping cost estimates for the battleship, courtesy of Eric Labs of the Congressional Budget Office. 1 BBG could buy up to 7 DDGs (which, btw is 128 VLS cells and 12 CPS cells vs 672 VLS cells). In the words of the immortal Ron O’Rourke, which came first: the program or the analysis?

It would be tough on the Bills to schedule them on Saturday after a Sunday game.

Yes! Ruthless red teaming is even more urgent now with DoW YOLOing itself into the murk of AI.

"This is about a sort of learned helplessness that has somehow become socially acceptable, even quirky and endearing in some circles β€” a professional skill gap that wouldn’t be tolerated in any other field."

The history of Navy logistics is very relevant today. Sal Mercagliano will teach you.

This is a smart argument for a balanced approach to adopting AI into U.S. defense based on its history with technological determinism.

Every Broncos win this season has been painful. On to the Chargers.

Andrew Krepinevich at CSBA has been advocating for years placing containerized missiles on anything that floats to offset PRC missile advantages. It is ironic that the PRC took the idea seriously.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

#OTD in 1941, new CINCPAC ADM Chester Nimitz boarded a train in Washington, D.C. to reach the West Coast for a flight to Pearl Harbor. Out of concern over the presence of enemy agents, Nimitz traveled across the country in civilian clothes and used the alias "Mr. Wainwright".

Decline of Operational Art: The Story of A Strategic China Wargame Planners today struggle to properly apply operational art in large scale war β€” and they don’t fully realize why. It takes something like firsthand

A 2034 scenario exposed how easily a better-equipped force can fail when it neglects operational art.

Did the #Broncos defense really just give up a TD pass to Kenny Pickett?
