All of these various influences (Calvinism, the Iroquois confederation, etc, etc) can be found in the thinking of the founding fathers. Everyone sees a little of what they want to see. Liberal bleeding hearts see respect for native American governance; religious righties see hardcore protestantism. But the one giant who towers above all others combined? Montesquieu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montesquieu

It means the offense scores and the defense makes stops. If one isn’t doing that then it’s not complimentary football.

But he won because his new team defense killed Mahomes.

Nothing Which is what should have been expected given his past production Yet Beane paid him as if he'd be a difference maker, and he's not even close to that

Ultimately, it all just comes down to not making mistakes. Penalties, dropped coverages, dropped passes, poor execution, and bad playcalling all contribute to making it harder for everyone else to do their jobs and produce wins. If you eliminate the mental errors, you'll probably have great complementary football.

on the plus side, Pitts does not have the secondary the Texans have. People overlook how good the Texans secondary is because their pass rush is so dominant but the Texans also have some of the best secondary play in the NFL

Fair point on Slowik. And possibly telling no one else picked him as an OC. It does seem that this year CJ Stroud regressed even more as did their offense. My biggest hope is that in the event Joe Brady isn't here next year is that the Bills look outside and not promote from within. Ronald Curry doesn't really spark hope.

I like McDermott and appreciate that he has been the purveyor of turning this organization around. However I think he's just taken us as far as he could, we're on the downward and we missed our peak with him at the helm. His inability to fully understand offense and make good decisions with personnel and coaches has always been his weakness. I'd call it largely a failure. More recently his brand of defense is exposed. His greatest asset is his ability to bring people together and get them to play and care about each other. We all know he preaches self development. He believes in doing the same things, just do them better. He's a toughness coach, beat the man in front of you. It feels like that message is fractured and I think he'll have to coach his way to gaining the players respect back. I think he'll fail and the team will fray. He's not a strategist. X's and O's aren't his strong suit.

On offense, I agree. On defense, I disagree, as I think there are times when they are overachieving. In the first half of some games, they are getting smoked, and in the second half, putting a choke-hold on teams. A few things are happening with the defense besides the injuries, as they are just not getting the turnovers like they did last season, and they have a mix of older vets and young players learning their way. Think about how good this defense might have been with Max Hairston with a full training camp and preseason. With Ed Oliver fully healthy, with Michael Hoecht who returns from suspension, only to blow out his Achillies* after a great performance. Taylor Rapp, Damar Hamlin. Benford, Bernard, Bosa, Lawson, and others at different times. Right now, the Bills might be without both starting offensive tackles, with Dalton Kincaid, Curtis Samuel, and Kahlil Shakir all probably out. Some Bills fans simply say, Oh, all teams have injuries...not to this extent and keep winning. It's kind of ridiculous.

Was just going to post ! I'm honestly an ARod fan, feel like he keeps it real and he recognizes 17s realness, if that makes sense 🤷‍♂️

Can't believe I'm saying this because I thought it was the right call at the time, but had I known Beane was going to totally FUBAR this WR room as badly as he has since, we should've kept Diggs and just keep begging for a competent WR2 to go along with Kincaid and Shakir. 2 legit WRs, good YAC WR in the slot, a mismatch at TE, and 2 backs that can catch out the backfield would be just fine. The wildcard here is Brady since I don't know if he's capable even if he had a nice upgrade in talent considering Diggs basically faded into nothing the partial season he had with Brady.

I like the idea of targeting the Rams organization. As for Slowik, he's at the very bottom of the list for me. It turns out that he's a fraud, or at least he was, aa the Texans OC. Going into year 2, Chris Simms on his unbuttoned podcast, basically said that this guy's knowledge consisted of knowing a playbook, but not an actual offense. He further said, now that teams have a year of film, he was curious how he would do year 2. If you don't know the actual rules of an offense, how are you going to get answers. As we all know, he got fired about 1/2 way through year 2. Slowik was under Shanahan in SF, who is close friends with Simms. This to me says a lot, about how they feel about him as a coach. Ironically enough, I'm starting to feel that way about Brady, running almost the same plays as last year's, and not having in game answers or counters for things.

Of course It's one thing if it's started by X accounts .. Another if by reliable media. But elected leaders? One who is retired military himself? Hang em high!

I genuinely don’t understand how we’re not in this game, unless they feel Kincaid is going to play. We have the advantage at q.b. and the longer break but otherwise 🤷‍♂️

Now, that is cheesy.

Same guy that most of us were shocked made the 53? Am I the only one who remembers that?

Yea…. That’s too far. Beyond trash talk.

Yes, it's a political exercise. And of course El Presidente has just insured that it will work as intended through his comic overreaction.

Is anyone else thinking this is just a silly exercise? No illegal orders have been directed. Nobody needs to tell military personnel that are are not to abide by illegal orders. They know that, certainly at the commissioned officer level, where such things would originate. Looks to me like an attempt to orchestrate a completely political exercise for publicity. On to the next crisis.

John valby! Dr dirty!!! A legend

Thoughts? 🤣🤣 BTW, 17 has a muchhhhhhhhh more attractive wife and should have multiple SBs

Statement of Rudolph W. Giuliani After an unjustifiably long and damaging delay, the case was finally dismissed. However, it only will be concluded when the State of Georgia prosecutes those responsible for this malicious prosecution. The State of Georgia, Fulton County and its corrupt officials must also be held civilly liable. You can be sure this will be pursued vigorously until all the victims are made whole and the political malefactors, D and R, are held accountable for entirely undermining the administration of justice in Georgia and in the U.S. The legal basis is in part: Chapter 7 - FALSE ARREST, FALSE IMPRISONMENT, MALICIOUS PROSECUTION, AND ABUSIVE LITIGATION (§§ 51-7-1 — 51-7-85) Article 3 - MALICIOUS PROSECUTION (§§ 51-7-40 — 51-7-47) Section 51-7-47 - Measure of damages

With a 76% catch rate in '25 through 10 games played I'll take him.....
