1. You say, " You gotta have a backup plan when the defense isn't stopping the offense. It's akin to a MLB pitcher without his + stuff finding a way to win regardless. And that “In the NFL, the backup plan is being able to out-score the opponent, which this regime doesn't think is necessary. (Cue the scoring 30ppg regular season crowd).” You don't think the Bills have an offense that is capable of winning the big games, especially playoff games? To me, and likely most fans, they seem to be capable of scoring a lot of points, well, just because they did so last year and overall under McBeane. But it was clearly the defense that was weaker, much weaker, last year and in need of an overhaul—not the best offense in the NFL I think all of the facts related to the offense last year, and in the last five years really undermine that your main point. I am very surprised that you do not know that, understand that. The Bills are aware of how good the offense is, clearly, from any objective set of eyes, and also aware of the significant weaknesses of last year’s defense, particularly in the secondary and D-Lines. So this off season they have gone hog wild adding the needed players to improve the weak areas, while also adding a few key pieces to the offense. I think the Bills want a team capable of doing both at a high level, a team without any weaknesses. I believe that is what they, and maybe all other NFL teams worth their salt are striving for--the best complimentary football they can have, with an offense making it easier on the defense, and visa versa. Last year especially, clearly a transition year on defense, they did not have man power to create that kind of top level consistent defense. That is why I was calling for an almost all defense draft, with multiple players for the D-line and cornerback. I think it seems to be exactly what you would want--as I am assuming what you say above also relates to defense?--that when the offense is not firing on all cylinders they have a defense that can carry the load? Since you said what you said about the offense needing to carry the day, hard to believe you would not think the same thing about the defense when the offense is not coming through. Am I missing something there? 2. You say, “In the NFL, the backup plan is being able to out-score the opponent, which this regime doesn't think is necessary… And “Buffalo lacked the offensive firepower to overwhelm the Chiefs...because they don't invest there like their best/likely playoff opponents do.” I know from your post, your direct comment about the 30 points a game, and the rest, that you don’t really bother with numbers or stats if they contradict this particular point you are making, so these are for the others who are reading (you should just skip them, as they are not relevant to you): --The 2024 Bills scored more points last year that any other NFL team, from the beginning of the season to the end of the playoffs --They scored more points than any Bills team ever --They led the NFL in yards per point last year --They were the first team in NFL history to have 30 rushing TDS and 30 passing TDS, finding the incredible balance that McDermott, and fans like me, have been wanting. --Last year’s team also had one of the best points per drive this century and NFL history. --And I apologize beforehand, and they also scored 30 points 9 games in a row—and averaged over 30 points per game. And this super charged, point scoring machine we all (except a few…) saw last year was not a new thing for the McBeane Bills, as I assume you are well aware. They have scored more points in the NFL over the last five years than any other team. I mean, if the stats, the numbers above don’t disprove the points n your comments I included on this matter, then it seems you may have just thrown all the logic, reason, out the window to make your point. It is irrational, an understatement, to call a team out for not investing in its offense, for not caring if they have the firepower to overcome top opponents, when they were the best offense in the NFL last year, and the best in Bills history, which is saying a lot, and have scored more points in than any other team the last five years etcetera etcetera. That would be like Ford going to the top salesman in the company, who sold more cars than anyone ever did for Ford in a year, broke the company record for sales, in fact, and who sold more cars than anyone at Ford for the last five years, and telling him he needed to get his priorities in order, and learn how to sell cars more successfully than he did last year, and in the last five year, If not, his a*s is grass. I cannot imagine anyone agreeing with what you say. Both parts of your point are dead in the water almost as soon as you write them. As the complimentary football you call for does not seem to apply to the other side of the ball, the defense. And then you call this ‘regime’ out for its egregious neglect of the offense, the best in the NFL last year, the best in Bills history, and one breaking all kinds of team and NFL records. I hope that the Bills now neglect the defense in the same ways they have neglected the offense, I really do. And they seem to be doing just that.

I don’t understand the rationale here. You have money in a checking account, let’s say $2,000. You write a series of checks, auto-withdraw a few other payments, hit the Starbucks for a few lattes and the total is $3,195. Who needs protection here, the bank or the consumer who lost track of their spending?

last year it was 4 AFC teams they could make it 6 NFC on Thanksgiving and 6 AFC for Christmas?

What percentage drop would be a real win?

I try not to believe in conspiracy theories....but come on

The color RED is pretty colora non grata in my own wardrobe anymore I feel indoctrinated by dislike for the team and now the color I snark the entire organization. *limp tomahawk chop* Enough with the red dominance it's Old and BORING

I really have no skin in this game, but I first heard about this when one of my Uncle’s came across the border for a private pay surgical procedure on his heart. His perspective was that due to extreme delays in treatment, he would be dead before his needs were addressed. To be fair, that was quite a few years ago and perhaps it’s gotten way better. I don’t think so, but maybe. E https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/article/i-had-started-saying-goodbye-why-some-canadians-go-abroad-for-medical-care/ According to the Canadian Medical Association, non-emergency surgeries that can be scheduled in advance, like hip, knee and cataract procedures, are being delayed, while a growing number of Canadians — now more than 6.5 million — lack access to a family doctor altogether. ‘I had to go abroad to save my life’ Celyn Harding-Jones, a Montrealer, says she was forced to look outside the country after living with a rare brain tumour for 20 years. “I had to go abroad to save my life,” she said in an email to CTVNews.ca. “I could not find one neurosurgeon in Canada who had any experience with this type of tumour or who was willing to operate.” “By the time I was 35, I had drop attacks and could barely care for my children,” she said, adding “the process to ask for provincial health boards for out of province care are not transparent, and not designed to be completed by people who are seriously sick.” https://thehealthinsider.ca/crossing-borders-for-care-the-rise-of-medical-tourism-for-canadians/#:~:text=Patients Leaving the Country&text=From 2017 to 2021%2C Canadians,jump over the previous years. Canadians seeking medical care abroad are a lot more measurable and are engaging in medical tourism in what is likely much higher numbers than reported. From 2017 to 2021, Canadians spent as much as $2.3 billion on out-of-country health care. According to reports published by the Fraser Institute, over 50,000 Canadians left the country in 2022 and that was a big jump over the previous years. The numbers continue to climb dramatically.

We are asking the wrong question. The real question is how do Kincaid's calves compare to Deone Walkers calves?

The Chiefs are a disgusting team

Micky Mouse abducted our Josh....awe hellllll naw. Grad the mouse traps and meet up. Mafia coming in HOT on the rescue mission....

Broncos @ Chiefs Christmas Day released Hopefully this means we won't be playing Christmas Day at home like some rumors. I don't think they would put two heavy hitter AFC teams on the same day, I feel like they would want to diversify it with NFC action. I mean it could be Bills Eagles, but that's a Marquee matchup and doesn't need to be on a holiday like Christmas to be a mega draw for ratings, feels like a waste on a day like that where you already have a captive audience.

that's super impressive. Well there's a laundry list of stats we been dominant at last 5 years, including rhe biggest chokers in January

I don’t see the issue. It’s a gift from the emir of an Iran-aligned country to the American people, and then to a library in honor of a nonreader. And Trump’s chief legal officer says it’s kosher. She is definitely a neutral arbiter.

Sorry, off topic, but the thought made me chuckle: My wife’s parents were very “old country”. Other than a couple times on the golf course, and eventually in the hospital, I never saw her father not wearing a tie. English was her mother’s third language (after Arabic and French) and she spoke in a very formal way. It’s what she was taught in boarding school in Lebanon, not growing up in the Bronx. Very different. We moved to Sarasota, FL in 1993, known for Siesta Key beach. Naturally, we wanted to take my MIL to all the great things in town when she came to visit. The opera house was great, but I had to tap the brakes when the wife wanted to show her the beach. Her dad was always in a tie, and her mom was ALWAYS in high heels. I asked my wife how she saw that going, and we just cruised thru the parking lot.

I suspect him to make a few visits. Teams are gonna want to check his knee in person.

now... NO. come talk to me in jan. can two or three draft picks make a difference this year? can they stay healthy.? two huge unknowns

He was already bout to be cooked... This seems like when shady did it right before the worst year of his career

There's a number of issues with this train of thought. We only keep 3 RB's on the 53. Between Cook, Davis, and Johnson - that's the 3. None of them are being cut. So whomever you Drafted would have to be cut. If you take someone in the 4th, you're most likely not getting them back on the Practice Squad if you cut them. You're playing with fire cutting anyone before Round 6. Even if you could get them back then, they could and most likely would be poached at some point during the season. You don't put that kind of investment into a player you're not going to roster. There was no need to do it now. We have our RB's this year. You're wasting a pick unless you're moving on from one of the three and that's not something they were going to do. You worry about replacing Cook next year, if you have to. And preferably with a Draft prospect (or veteran) with a greater pedigree than you're going to find with a mid to late 4th Round Pick.

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5296015-gop-tax-bill-salt-trump-priorities/ Critics of the GOP tax framework say it’s another example of trickle-down economics, meaning tax advantages for businesses, investors and managers, the benefits of which may or may not “trickle down” to workers and consumers. “So far this costly bill appears to double down on trickle down, with huge tax cuts that will further enrich the rich and not much for the rest of us,” Amy Hanauer, director of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, said in a statement in response to Friday’s version of the bill. The Republican tax bill reinstates a number of business provisions from the 2017 Trump tax cuts that had already expired and that businesses had been hoping would be renewed in previous years. These include immediate research and development expensing, bonus depreciation, and interest deductibility, along with the amped pass-through deduction and key elements of the international tax regime, which has competing initiatives at both the United Nations and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. The Republican tax plan leaves in place the so-called carried interest loophole that allows the incomes of hedge fund and private equity manager to be taxed at preferential capital gains rates as opposed to regular income tax rates. Trump has criticized the loophole in the past but appears to have left it alone.
