The Schumer Shutdown Cometh Duane Patterson At Midnight Eastern on Tuesday night, unless there's a breakthrough, meaning Senate Democrats cave, the federal government will shut down for the sixth time this century. In four of the previous five occasions, the shutdown lasted a couple weeks or less, Only once, in 2019, were non-essential federal workers furloughed for longer than a month. Logic would dictate that this shutdown, if it happens, would be very brief, but logic is not one of the primary drivers leading Democrats to the brink this time. With Republicans controlling the House and Senate, albeit with the narrowest of majorities, normal business is ongoing. Budgets have been passed in both chambers, and while delayed, the appropriations process, is well underway in a welcomed return to regular order. The House passed the appropriations bills for Fiscal Year 2026 on Agriculture, Defense, Energy, and Veterans Affairs. There's a little more work to do, but the House has by and large done its job. Over in the Senate, on August 1st, the upper chamber passed a three-part package that funded Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, and the Legislative Branch. Due to the backlog on executive and judicial appointments, with Democrats going to the mattresses and clogging up time for every single nominee before Leader John Thune and the Republicans reformed the rules to remove the cloture requirement off non-controversial appointments and allow for bloc voting, the Senate has run out of time while the finishing touches on the remaining appropriations bills are negotiated in committee. In a sane world, it's a no-brainer. Pass a temporary continuing resolution to lock in spending at existing levels for a couple of weeks, or as long as you need to in order to finish next year's package, and you're done. Not this time. Not this president. The Democrats have to oppose what they supported, because it'll help Trump. Democrats used to be against shutdowns. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader, was against them multiple times in recent history. More at the link: https://hotair.com/generalissimo/2025/09/29/the-schumer-shutdown-cometh-n3807293 .

How many yards does Worthy have this year outside the one Ravens game? So why are you not going apples to apples and comparing his 1 game to the 1 game Keon played against the same bad defense? Also: What OL does KC have and who are the RB's? Are they as good as James Cook and our OL? What other weapons does KC have compared to the Bills? All you are doing is cherry picking something to exaggerate it out to feed a bias. Worthy has very little target competition in KC right now and a weak running game behind a mediocre OL - meanwhile Buffalo has a dominant running game, has an offense where Josh Allen FREQUENTLY completes passes to 8-9 different targets and runs an offense that literally is rooted in taking the easy underneath stuff by design. The two situations are not remotely comparable. If Keon was a Chief, he would probably average 8+ targets a game. You cant catch the ball when you aren't targeted because your RB in on a tear and leading the NFL and your QB throws to everyone on the team, including even our 3rd string blocking specialist TE. There is a completely false pretense that because Keon (or insert any WR/TE name here on this team) isn't getting X number of catches per week, they must not be playing well or be open. But the reality is so many people here still don't understand at all what our offense is, how its being run, etc despite the fact Josh talks about verbatim after almost every game. Keon and Palmer have been open plenty of times when not getting the ball, but our offense is designed where we run a lot of routes for the intent on getting someone else open and if that guy isn't there Josh checks it down and takes the easy throw. And Josh has said he is going to keep doing that until they find a way to take that away. And the only time where we really needed to go away from that, thanks to our bad defense in week 1, we started airing it out and Keon went off - and against the same team and he (and Palmer for that matter) was a critical reason why we won that game. But Worthy, who was injured again (part of the concerns on him was his slight frame and lack of strength) comes in and has one good game against the same team Keon did and suddenly its all about Worthy again. Chiefs are looking up at the division and the 1 seed right now, and Worthy not being on the field the first 3 weeks while their actual best WR is suspended didn't help their cause. Meanwhile, Keon had a big game week 1 and helped set the tone for the season and Bills cease a commanding lead on the 1 seed. And Josh and Keon were playing pitch and catch out there yesterday, but we just don't call enough of that unfortunately and my bigger concern is how Brady is calling games in critical situations and how long he lets the offense sputter before letting the dogs out of their cages.

You’re right, I’m wrong. Christ, I sound like my father. Never missed a play from the 1st preseason game in 1960 and never missed the chance to criticize our play. When they frustrate me, I typically back off a couple days to regroup. But what I’m criticizing isn’t a one-off poor performance. Only the Jets game showed our best performance on Defense. We have a few new players but we’re not getting any better. Yesterday was a shock. Many Penalties, clock mismanagement gaffs, poor tackling fundamentals and caught out of position routinely. Battling out of routinely poor drive starts is difficult for every team. But that’s what happens when you can’t stop the run. For as thrilled as I was with our opening drive TD, the rest of the game I wondered aloud whether we’d be soon be playing catch up the rest of the way. That’s no improvement from the now also-ran Ravens game. We’ve invested so much into the Dline yet to date it’s worse than last season. No pass rush sans 1 or 2 plays per game and overall maddening 3rd Down Defense. I’d feel better about our situation if there were aspects that definitely showed improving play, but I don’t see much yet..

Maybe, I don't know. I do take a lot of insults around here, so sure, probably, lol

@FranchiseSavior Lamar still better than Allen? Did he injure his hammy? Or did he quit on his team in the 3rd quarter while down 17. 3 weeks after losing a 15 point lead with 4 minutes left? this is part of what sets the 2 apart. Josh all day baby. All heart 💙 ♥️

That team also wasn't decimated with defensive injuries at that point tho. I'm pretty sure the track record of this team over the last 5.5 years should let you know what they are and if not then I'm not sure what you have been watching. This team might be better than any of them by the time it's said and done. They have scored 30 or more points in 14 of the last 15 games Allen has played more than a snap in and make it look effortless. The only one they didn't was against the Pats where they put up 24 ( a "good" day for most teams) and ended with the ball on the Pats 25, so they probably could have got to 30 if they really wanted to. But sure...we have "no clue" who they are yet. Let me tell you who they are...a historically great offensive team that will either end the season at 2nd or 3rd best of all time over any 6 year span in terms of PPG.

I had a dream I was going bald. I ran out into the street and these two women in a car slowed down and just started telling me without asking what was wrong, "Oh, its not bad, doesn't look at bad." Then they sped away laughing 😐

🤣 Didn’t someone say you had a lazy eye a while back?

Surprised Allen is front-running, he hasn't done anything particularly impressive stat-wise. Cook's been the engine of the offense so far (not that I'm complaining). I'm guessing that Week 1 comeback is still driving those odds. Also where is Daniel Jones? I know he's Daniel Jones but he's been playing very well so far.

Was he bald?

The MVP race is wide open right now. If the Chiefs have flipped that switch, then Mahomes' numbers should continue to skyrocket. He could climb to the top fairly quick. They also get Rice back in 3 weeks. Josh will of course be in the convo. No, he's still as meh and overpaid as ever. He has a 58.3% completion percentage right now.

Yeah, ok, like Publisher’s Clearinghouse is going to show up at my door with a check for a couple mill? Answer the durn phone!

we know more about him than the Las Vegas shooter.

Sure, just keep telling yourself that, chrome dome 🤣

they'll absolutely award it to lamar. He doesnt even have to play another game this season

That hair thing is a gift, you Bob Ross looking b*stard. I had a pretty good run all things considered. Hair loss started later in life, relatively speaking, and by the time it did I was in my “There are a lot worse things that could happen in life” mode.

1-3 doesn’t help. Trevor Lawrence will make an appearance on this list at some point. The Jags are not a mirage. Lawrence looks like he might have turned a corner. Stafford? Shirley. Love instead of Goff? Not sure on that. Non-QB vote getter? Bijan Robinson.

He's gone all sunny LA on us, hipster like.

Ray davis has been running into brick walls it seems so far this year. Cook's got an amazing ability to turn 1 into 4-6, or -3 into 1 with his patience and quick feet. Davis is more of a one-cut guy who needs an alley. Like you can't even break tackles when there is no where to go in any direction. Johnson's had a couple of drops, and needs to be better. He also blocks on more third downs so his impact isn't always going to show up on a stat sheet.

He's doing exactly what he's being coached to do and doing it very, very well. If you can't see what he's doing that's not a Rousseau problem, that's a you problem. The Bills have never had high sack numbers from their DE's under McDermott, and they likely never will. It isn't because they don't have good players at DE. It isn't because Beane doesn't know what he's doing when to comes to acquiring DL. It's because McDermott wants his guys up front playing responsibly and not losing edges and overrunning QB's and abandoning gap responsibilities. That's just who he is. If you need to break out the bltching stick, you're wasting your time using it on Rousseau or Beane.

Everyone eats! Ever since we had to force feed Diggs to keep him happy, the Coaches decide to not play that game anymore!

I often get the impression that McDermott is not completely comfortable in public speaking scenarios where he’s forced to be ‘on stage’. Facing the media he frequently has nervous itches he has to scratch when fielding questions he may not want to be totally candid with. Addressing the team in post-game there’s a lot of congratulations being punctuated with ‘man’ to put a bow on it. This isn’t a knock on the coach. Just an observation and belief he’s probably more at ease in one on one situations…man.

Jackson deserves to fall for faking an injury to get out of the game.

I don't eat a lot of sugar In comparison to Kirk's shooting, this barely registered in the media at all. The guy was MAGA.

By the way, who is getting this Mormon Church attack thing right, without idle speculation about What It All Means and Is It Trump or Anti-Trump? The mainstream media. NYT: Federal investigators are searching homes connected with the man who the police say killed at least four people over the weekend in an attack on a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meeting house in Michigan, and are seeking clues to the attacker’s motive, the White House press secretary said on Monday. WSJ goes even more bland: The suspect, who died, is Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40 years old, from the nearby city of Burton, Mich., police said. A Marine Corps spokesman said Sanford served from 2004 to 2008, deploying to Iraq in 2007 and 2008, and had the rank of sergeant. He had longstanding ties to the area, and according to public records was married to a woman named Tella. They had a young son. Bland can be good.
