  1. Past hour
  2. Now that he spent $100 MM in 15 years he gets the full $100 Billion from his uncle, right? Now that he spent $100 MM in 15 years he gets the full $100 Billion from his uncle, right?
  3. And off to a big start... Rachel Lenzi @rachelmlenzi · 15s Reports have #Sabres forward JJ Peterka heading to Utah as part of a three-player trade -- more details on the impending/pending transaction. This story will be updated.
  4. He won on the road in Kansas City and Atlanta. Both playoff teams.
  5. Your timing is a bit out. Gettleman wasn't diagnosed with cancer after the Panthers fired him and he was the Giants GM by that point. Gettleman was fired about a month after Beane left for Buffalo. The thinking was that ownership's original plan had been to ease Gettleman out that summer and have a smooth transition of power to Beane and when Beane left and that was off the table they just firef him and re-hired Hurney. The reason Gettleman ran out of road in Carolina was largely his people management and as we have seen here Beane is great with owners. He gets how to stroke those egos in order to solidify his position. Beane had been acting GM and then demoted once before though - between firing Hurney the first time and hiring Gettleman. Brandon interviewed for the permanent gig then and was passed over. And ultimately in 2017 I think he just saw McDermott and the naïve but keen Pegulas as better options to hitch his wagon to than Jerry Richardson and Ron Rivera.
  6. Big Balls has stepped down from his post in the Trump administration - reports are he wants to put all his energy into DOGEing the ***t post analytics here on PPP that the people deserve.
  7. PFF has 13 seconds to change these ratings or I’ll be pissed…..but seriously use this as motivation and get better!
  8. Our sensors have detected a shlit post barrage earlier tonight. Minor, but a barrage of TDS fueled douchebaggery nonetheless.
  9. Trusting his tweets
  10. I think the bolded is a bit of an exaggeration. It was a mismatched roster in the middle of a tear down with the three most talented guys of the previous few years all gone by then - Sammy, Mario and Gilmore. But it still had LeSean McCoy at running back; Cordy Glenn, Eric Wood and Richie Incognito (plus rookie Dawkins) on the offensive line; Charles Clay at that point was still a serviceable tight end; Jerry Hughes and Kyle Williams on the Dline (and Dareus for 6 games - their run D fell off a cliff once they traded him) and then the McDermott 3 of Hyde, Poyer and Tre White in the secondary. They had trash at receiver and linebacker (until rookie Milano got on the field late in the year) agreed, and it was definitely not a top 6 in the AFC roster... it shouldn't "have made the playoffs" in the way I'd argue the 2012, 2014 and 2014 Bills definitely should have. But it was well coached, got a few breaks its way and snuck in. Now the 2018 roster.... when that oline had fallen apart, the receivers got even worse, Shady and Clay were at the point of decline and Kyle had finally come to the end.... THAT was one of the worst rosters in the NFL. Even as someone who has been critical of Beane I give him some props for his 2019 offseason. They didn't nail all their FA moves but they found some credible receivers and vet offensive linemen who could play in the likes of Beasley, Brown, Spain, Morse, Nsekhe and Feliciano and gave Josh a chance at least to succeed.
  11. There is an argument that the Pegulas just kind of got lucky with McBeane, and then lucky again with Allen. His first hire was Rex Ryan. A lot of the Sabres woes seem to point to Pegula having an active role in the team. Nobody will give him credit for AHL or NLL success, those are borderline semipro leagues (and the Amerks haven’t really been successful over his ownership anyway taken as a whole.
  12. I honestly think he’s just pointing out that Pete’s completely irrational and overly emotional response to a question about the success of the mission is bizarre. No one (well no one sane) is questioning the bravery of the men who flew those planes. No one. And he knows that. So why the cheap theatrics and awful attempt at spin? They are questioning if his mission (since he’s supposedly the leader) might not have actually been as successful as he claimed it was nearly immediately after and instead of saying - like an adult - that we need to wait for more intel to show exactly how much was destroyed, he’s spinning it in a truly odd direction - that questioning the mission’s success is somehow questioning the bravery of the men directly involved. That’s such a leap that it’s insane. I believe the missions were likely a large success.But who cares what I think? And we’ll know more in the next week or so. It’s just a truly weird way to spin the line of questioning unless he’s hiding something.
  13. His Defense has allowed the Chiefs to score their lost points on every Postseason they've played. No need to cherry pick. Josh Allen gives you a top 5 Offense. Teams know they have to score and start playing riskier which is why against average to below average teams our Defense feasts and then against elite Offenses they look lost. As far as the the playoff breaking drought. Need you remember he benched Tyrod for Peterman in that season and won by beating exclusively bad teams. Even then it took the miracle of Andy Dalton to Boyd to backdoor into the playoffs. IMO that season was his best coaching and he has fumbled against Andy Reid in the playoffs. It's like he over thinks himself. There is 0 excuse for 13 seconds. 0 Also he's better than 2 time CotY Kevin Stefanski. Those CotY are jokes.
  14. They dont have a deep playoff run every season. In fact they missed a bunch of times and then went years without winning one playoff game. There is no way that anybody legitimately believes that 1. Running an NLL team is comparable to the NFL,MLB, NBA, OR NHL. And 2. That Pegula has 1/8th of the involvement in the Bandits as he does the Sabres or Bills? If you have full faith that Terry Pegula could tear this thing down and rebuild it again, by hiring the right GM and HC combo by himself, then I also have a bridge I would like to sell you. Terry's most successful franchise is the one he gives less than zero forks about. He hasn't attended a single one of their championship games. Lol
  15. Apparently so, since the Texans just did it.
  16. Because, for some reason, It’s personal.
  17. Yeah the Matt Kalil signing turned out to be horrendous. Gettlenutz wasn't the GM he was on leave with cancer. But they didn't want to elevate Beane because DG was supposed to get his job back when he recovered. So they brought back ol' Marty Hurney to technically fill the role temporarily so they didn't have to "demote" Beane later.........but Beane was doing a lot of the GM work at that point. https://www.nfl.com/news/panthers-release-left-tackle-matt-kalil-after-two-years-0ap3000001022737#:~:text=Kalil%2C who joined the Panthers,Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer.
  18. He’s just pissed that the 2 missions were a success, there were no fatalities and Hegseth didn’t go AWOL…
  19. Bills made the playoffs in 66, 74,80,81
  20. Shakir is way better at YAC. Diggs has a lot of lateral runs and tries his best but doesn't have the contact balance or vision that Shakir has. Cant beat Steph as route runner but you can beat his attitude and his aging body. They're both game changers, later round draft picks, one is a team player and the other is a ME player.
  21. No one felt like posting this earlier Schumer, 74, Treated in Hospital in Latest Blow to Aging Dems Story by Jack Silvers https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/schumer-74-treated-in-hospital-in-latest-blow-to-aging-dems/ar-AA1HpYwv?ocid=BingNewsVerp
  22. One cannot look at a franchise that keeps Kevyn Adams as GM and long time Pegula family friend Jerry Forton employed and think that they are either 1. Well run or 2. Trying to legitimately win hockey games.
  23. The point you are missing is that you are discrediting McDermott’s 9 win season because he had several wins against sub par QB’s. But he also had a subpar QB in Tyrod Taylor. Taylor was awful and showed it with the next 7 teams he played for. The 2017 team was one of the worst rosters in the NFL.
  24. I find it slightly weird, and very on-brand for Buffalo, that Terry Pegula is hated for the Sabres more than he's given credit for how his other teams do. The Bills are awesome, the Bandits are a dynasty and the Amerks have deep playoff runs every season. Why do we always focus on the negative? Lol, it's probably a good thing he's only focused on the Sabres.
  25. I think Beane is open to fair criticism but it's not because of "culture". The criticism that Beane had under-resourced the WR position in the draft up through 2024 is fair IMO. I also think it's a fair point that our offense is our strength, so invest in it rather than continually searching for a top defense we haven't managed to achieve. A couple more plays on offense get us there. Potentially a couple better players make those plays. The fact is, a number of Beane's attempts to put the Bills over the top have not provided decent return on investment. Von Miller is the biggest example, but I don't think they got what they expected with Emmanuel Sanders or Amari Cooper either. But I don't think the issue is the Bills "culture" or "signing for culture". It's more taking a big risk to sign a undeniably great, but 33 yr old DE to a big contract and pinning your Superbowl hopes that he will work out.
  26. Sure, but they are specifically selecting from a group of killers, not a mix of choir boys and killers.
