One thing I have noticed from many years of observing the NFL and professional sports is that the media, the GMs, the players... they're all people. And they do people things. -
TBone and NJSue provided us some hilarious donnybrooks in posts back in those days. I don't miss the endless RJ/Flutie debates. It make me feel reeeeal old!

Andy Reid, of course.

I think Rivers will get in. In order for Josh to do it this way (no SB), he would to produce at or above his current level for 10 more seasons.

We have this whole gigantic thread about talking heads saying things, so this is nothing new. If "pushing back" means PR damage control or outright lying about their reports, then that isn't having a thin skin, that is defending the truth. We got burned in the Cooper trade and it didn't work out, and our WR corps still isn't anything to write home about even now. -
And tbd members can't help but link these articles and/or feed them clicks. They do it for Nick Wright too. They never learn.

Waiting for Simon to ban him for this thread…

Beans overall has done a good job. But I think you are giving him a bit too much credit. The Von Miller contract was a huge overpay. As was the Diggs extension. The Knox contract extension was just stupid. The Bills fall in love far too heavily with “their guys.” I think that has held us back. No reason a guy like Tre White at this point has any business being on an NFL field. The coaching staff is less than dynamic and has been solid but not great. We have been married to a defensive scheme that seems overly complex and cerebral, especially for younger players. And does not seem to take advantage of players athleticism. And most importantly we almost never change it based on our personnel. Instead we find players to fit it. Instead of bringing in the best athletes and building the defense around the players that we have in that particular year. And yes having Josh Allen washes away a lot of mistakes. And Beane did a great job getting #17. And has hit on some talented under the radar guys like Shakir and Ty Johnson. And he is great at finding O lineman. And getting a 2nd for Diggs was a winning trade, getting rid of a malcontent. There is just a certain up tightness/ formality to Beane and McDermott that some organizations don’t seem to have IMO.

amen! I have more suspensions than Josh Gordon
-
Especially if he’s SB MVP.
-
If the Bills win a Super Bowl that will guarantee Allen is in 100%. IMHO

One of them must have popped onto this message board… I do agree with many points, but also think he’s closer to the Hall of Fame than not. He wouldn’t be first ballot if he retired tomorrow, but there’d still be a chance he’d get in later. When his career is all said and done, I think he’s easily first ballot. Hopefully the passing numbers start to shine even brighter.

Last years class, not this year. It’s factual that none of the free agents or draft picks made in 2024 had an impact on the field last year. -
It's also a grey area of the law utilized in complicated situations such as this. He was given a second chance 14 years ago if he met the conditions to check in every year and live a clean life, to be allowed to stay in the country. He made the right choices and ICE honored the agreement until this administration's ICE decided they needed to fill their quota and could point to his past. Well within their rights but that doesn't make it the correct decision. I definitely commend ICE for going after too many violent criminals the dumb ass Biden administration let in. This is not one of them and is just one example of ICE filling quotas so the administration can brag how many criminals they removed. How about they focus on the people that truly need removed even if it means lower numbers deported? You forgot: 3) finding a grey area that the judges, ICE and person can agree on. That's where we were with the former green card veteran who has lived here since 7 years old, made some mistakes and got his life straightened back out. Then our new administration's leadership changed the playing field Let's hope so, and I do hope they will. I also hope ICE will narrow their focus to the immigrant criminals everyone would like to see removed instead of removing productive members of society just because they have an excuse to do so. There can be humanity in administering the laws and I think most Americans would want to be in that space.

In a 6-3 decision authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the court granted the government's applications to partially stay the district court's nationwide injunctions in the birthright citizenship cases, noting that universal injunctions "likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts." As we've discussed previously, the issue before the court here wasn't the merits of the executive order or birthright citizenship. Nor was the court asked to decide here whether nationwide injunctions might be appropriate in other contexts. Rather, the issue before the court was whether it is appropriate for district court judges to issue nationwide or universal injunctions in this context, although the language contained in the opinion certainly is encouraging as to the broader context. No doubt there will be further analysis to come on this one, but this is a solid win for the Trump administration. https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2025/06/27/supreme-court-rules-on-nationwide-injunctions-in-birthright-citizenship-cases-n2190964

Who is the worst franchise QB in the NFL?
DrDawkinstein replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Lawrence and Tua. Without a doubt. I dont even consider many of the other guys mentioned here since they are more rentals (Geno, Darnold) than long-term, mega-million signed ("Franchise") QBs. I'd put Dak right behind them. He's better than them, but paid much higher. Then Purdy right behind Dak. I can put Kyler on that list too, but at least I've seen flashes from him. Baker deserves way more respect and should be no where near this list. I'm not even a big fan, and I was a disbeliever when he came out. But I'll never forget that Rams win he pulled off after having joined the team merely 48 hours earlier. And dude has been solid all around. Cleveland messed that up and did him dirty (surprise, surprise).
