  1. Past hour
  2. Your right …Putin taunts him…fires offensives before phone calls…Netanyahu ignores him NATO pledged it….Trump complimented them….how do you get that he “got” them to do it? Talk about TDS dt is a small small child in a big boy job
  3. To echo that, a 5 year agreement would be basically a 5 alarm fire they are pending a sale for me lol.
  4. I did mean they are culturally similar, the grasp of English is so much better than my version of any other language. I a couple times was worried I had offended them because they are so polite. If I am in Stockholm in the fall I will definitely let you know so we can go watch a game.
  5. Why dodn't you bounce the little mouthy Swede Greta Thunburg who she came back from Gaza? And her younger sister thinks she is another ABBA. She sounds more like Biz Markie (look him up).
  6. People keep giving Stefanski a pass for the train wreck that is Cleveland. Yeah, they have and idiot GM, but without evidence on the field you can't justify ranking Stephanski with the best coaches in the league. I question Tomlin's ranking as well. Yes, he's had success over a long tenure, but the last several years, the Steelers have tended toward mediocrity. I don't like the Jim Harbaugh selection either. Yeah, he's a good coach with some history before he fled the NFL for Michigan, but PFF seems to buy into the Harbaugh mystique and bluster instead of looking at recent history, because he has precious little.
  7. It's effectively fenced off with no access to the bridge
  8. The problem I have with this take is most of the best coaches will have this type of record without a premier QB. And the coaches who have good records without a premier QB usually have a premier GM to feed them more premier talent than other GMs. It's the NFL. If all you have is middle of the road talent, even the best coaches won't consistently dominate. For me, the best coaches in the league (top 12 or so) built a consistent performing and winning team in the regular season. The premier coaches have also done this consistently in the playoffs. Top 5 premier coaches should all have won a Superbowl. To make the leap from best coaches to premier, they have to perfect their game day adaption and decisions. The coaching and/or talent at playoff level demands it. 1-3 plays is usually all you have in these games to tip the game to beat the best. I feel McD is firmly in the 6-12 range depending on your value weighing. One of his strengths is his continuous improvement mantra. He's shown it in his offensive philosophy and style changes over the years. Now he needs to more quickly apply it on the defensive side, talent development side, and game day decisions side. For me, he has the capacity. But can he do it quickly enough before Allen's window closes? Or do we need a better GM or at least scouts to feed him better talent? All difficult questions which risk upsetting what has been built, so I understand the big majority are content to keep riding with the current FO. But this year is it for me, we need to see a more dominant defense in the playoffs, more coaching creativity defensively to tip the scales. Josh is 7 years in. At some point he and we are going to lose a season to injury, it's inevitable and that will further set the future SuperBowl victory back. We can't continue to squander this amazing Josh Allen
  9. Not a lawyer. My my quick two cents is that One Buffalo becomes a marketing ploy under PSE. But as the Sabres spiral, including them isn't awesome. But additionally if they aren't all officially under one roof I think it makes it easier to divest from each one as needed. I think that the dissolution of PSE also allowed the the opportunity to renegotiate any lease agreements. Pegula axed PSE, renegotiated the Blue Cross Arena lease, pulled out of operating the arena, and then Erie County bails on renewing the lease with Pegula and kicks it to the city after the org tried to make it seem like repairs fell on the county (they don't). Fast forward a few months to a year and Pegula has shortened the term on the Amerks lease at BCA from 8 to 5 years (after saying they wouldn't), officially listed the Knighthawks as for sale/stepping down as of 6/30, and we still have no resolution or even whispers on the KBC. Is there one thing that makes me think that Pegula is 100% selling the Sabres? No. But the above pattern seems to point in that direction, paired with the fact that he has been at or near bottom of the league in spending the last 5-6 years. At every step in the above the Pegula camp said "Don't worry, we aren't going to do the thing your worried about". Then they kept doing the thing, the walked out on the agreement, they shortened the Amerks lease, they officially listed the Knighthawks for sale after saying that they were comitted to Rochester. I think what happens to the KBC will be telling. Anything around a 5 year agreement would give me pause, 10 would make me feel safer, but not 100% confident. For reference the last lease was 30 years and the new Bills stadium lease is also 30 years and the prior was 10.
  10. Very different languages but similar cultures. Finns are alot like northern Swedes. Quiet and reserved att first but very friendly when you get to know them (or after a couple of drinks). Hope you enjoyed it. And if you ever get to Stockholm and want to watch an NFL-game. Send a DM. I am a friendly guy in real life.
  11. But did they know what they were hitting? First casualty of war, is the truth. Deception happens. Early assessment is this set them back a few months. If that's the case, this was a case of a half measure.
  12. I have never been to Sweden but did visit Helsinki, which I have been told is pretty similar.
  13. Laura Loomer is pissed. How sad.
  14. Is it me or does Odoms look like a MLB, man the equipment has changed.
  15. I was 15! How did you react after that TD?
  16. Lol… Bodega owners and small business black owners at home worried about how to make a living if Zohran becomes Mayor while more affluent liberal whites celebrate.
  17. Been watching a few old clips of Bills SB years and I agree. We are spoiled with Josh but Kelly was no slouch
  18. Thanks, it helps to know what people think/believe on issues like this. I can understand your father’s devotion to his grandmother and how that might impact his view on this debate. Speaking from personal experience, much of what I think today is based on experiences with my grandparents, parents and people that meant a lot to me in the past. While that can negatively impact perspective, it can be liberating when those that came later, through different, and in some respects softer times seek to lecture about sins of the past, present and future. I’ll step away from that for now because in spite of our differences, anything further makes me feel sorta dirty as I delve into people I know nothing about. So, the white then…
  19. If he wins a super bowl in the next year or two he'd be top 7 on this list. He hasn't and has the MVP. So he doesn't get the respect.
  20. Hard to tell. Not the country but whether people are offended or not. Politics seem to be a hot topic today. I am Swedish (so I would also like to bounce the little mouthy Norwegians at the border...).
  21. In Jim Kelly’s book Armed and Dangerous, Kelly said that Shula left the field in tears.
  22. Regular season it is better than "pretty good". No active coach has beaten Andy Reid as many times as McDermott. He is unbeaten vs Kyle Shanahan and has a winning record vs Sean McVay. The one who has gotten the better of him consistently in the regular season is John Harbaugh (3-1 vs McDermott) and ironically McDermott is 2-0 vs him in the playoffs.
  23. I am assuming that your grasp of English is still evolving because I am not offended by you at all. I called you pathetic, very different. I though will admit I am curious which country you are from?
  24. He didn't actually. That 2015 Bills team that Rex went 8-8 with was the most loaded Bills roster of my fandom aside from QB. Significant players on that team that were not on the 2017 team: Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, Percy Harvin, Stefon Gilmore, Ronald Darby, Nigel Bradham, Mario Williams, Marcel Darues (who played 6 games in 2017 and was traded with the Bills at 4-2). I know McDermott and Beane were responsible for some of that talent not being there because they'd traded away for picks or allowed to walk in FA.... but my point is in terms of the talent on the football field the 2017 roster, while not a scrub roster by any means (2018 was much closer to that - at least on offense), was definitely weaker than the 2015 roster. That 2015 Bills team 100% should have made the playoffs, more so than any other team in the drought IMO. Rex then went 7-8 before being fired in 2016, which wasn't quite as strong with Mario and Bradham totally gone and Sammy hurt for a lot of the year (and I think that was the year of cluster injuries at safety wasn't it? Ended up starting total scrubs back there). I take your point about McDermott's 9-7 vs Marrone and Mularkey's 9-7 seasons. Particularly Mularkey's actually. Marrone's was an 8-8 masquerading as a 9-7 by beating the Patriots when the Bills were already eliminated and the Patriots were locked in on playoff seeding. There WAS an element of the Bills getting some breaks their way in 2017 that the tiebreakers favoured them and the Bengals pulled off the comeback in Baltimore. I think that is legit. I less take the argument that McDermott was just one win better than Rex with the same roster. He was 1 or 2 wins better with a definitely weaker roster.
