A generality. Sad. Please tell me more about a proper alert system not being in place and the relation to budget reductions.

The fact that anyone is making this about politics is disguising. Also Cuts to the NWS have nothing to do with this, there was warnings. And even prior to the cuts, how many times have the NWS inaccurately predicted storms, happens multiple times a year. This happening in the overnight/early morning hours played a huge part as well. The only thing that would have really helped is if the county had sirens to give an audible warning.

It comes down to this: Do you believe that the Bills' problem are deep and systemic, and no amount of personnel turnover will fix them? - or - Do you believe that the Bills' formula is good enough to get them to the doorstep of the Super Bowl every year, and they keep being just a play or two away from getting there? If you believe the former, then you probably agree with this article. If you believe the latter, then you probably don't agree with the article. If you believe the former, you likely want some combination of Beane and McDermott gone, and you want a shiny new head coach and/or GM. If you believe the latter, you just keep trying to add talent and "keep trying to kick the door down", as one NFL executive put it to Beane last year. Which side are you on? That's the big question.

100%. I think he could make the WR much better. Shakir Moore Coleman Palmer Samuel Claypool Yes that's 6. But that is a hell of a WR room.

I agree with every word of this and I'm grateful for Beane and McD. And yet, we still don't have a Lombardi. As Shaw66 says, this is a seriously good football team. And that's both a joy and a problem. Good is the enemy of great, as they say, and we're not great. We've never begun a season as the best team in the NFL, or even the AFC. There are always concerning injuries and/or roster holes, not to mention some questions about the coaching staff. So what do you do with a GM/HC who win lots of games but no trophies? Say thank you and hope for next year? Replace them with guys who - odds are - wouldn't be as good? It's a conundrum. I'll say this... Every year with Beane and McD, we have a legit chance. For 17 prior years, we had no chance at all. I like having a chance, so I'll roll with them. But I do wish each of them was just a little bit better.

Problem is that pesky sexual abuse scandal taints everything like Joe Paterno... sorry, but those platitudes go out the window because Jim Jordan said NOT A THING as sexual abuse happened right under his nose.

Yes. Paying it with depreciated dollars that buy much less in an high inflation environment. Or in a deflationary post-default economy if monetary authorities do the unexpected and don't address the situation with the customary flood of money creation. My guess is the former as allowing an outright default crashes financial markets and real estate. In this case we can pretend everyone is still nominally well off even if a Big Mac costs $25.

Simple. Despite nothing changing.... If Biden / Harris POTUS = proper. Orange menace POTUS = improper.

Or defense which we Bills fans unfortunately know all too well

Went to the movies with the family yesterday. The woke angle was blatantly obvious in the preview for Superman.

Boone should be replaced but let's not forget about Cashman. He deserves his share of the blame for this as well. The pitching has been awful.

I've been in or through Asheville several times since Helene. The rebuilding has been consistently slow under both. The devastation is severe and will take many years to repair. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/22/trump-fema-north-carolina-hurricane-helene-00352614 The allegations spurred anger toward Biden, but FEMA’s statistics show no significant uptick in aid since Trump’s inauguration. As of April 22, the agency had given nearly $432 million of assistance to 158,600 households in North Carolina, $100 million of which came under Trump, FEMA said in a statement. FEMA also obligated nearly $459 million in public assistance to repair infrastructure in North Carolina, including $138 million under Trump. Meanwhile, Trump’s FEMA has halted $10 billion in disaster relief funds intended to help people across the country, cut off housing assistance for thousands of Helene survivors and ended a policy of fully reimbursing the state of North Carolina for debris removal. Now, in further evidence of how political attacks can create a reality of their own, Trump officials are using FEMA’s struggles in western North Carolina as a rationale to dismantle the agency. “I think we’re going to recommend that FEMA go away,” Trump said during a January visit to Asheville to survey the damage shortly after taking office.

What would be the proper alert system? More than a 3 hour emergency warning? From what I'm seeing the warnings were placed in what would seem to be an appropriate amount of time.

That's a terrible meme. Like, absolutely stupid. It's proof that one group can't meme. Jordan wrestled for Wisconsin and was a 2 time nat champ. He's in the US HOF, as well. A remarkable wrestler who embodied and coached toughness to a throwback style. Jeff Jordan and the Jordan family run one of the best camps in the country in Graham, Ohio. it is truly an elite camp up there with Iowa's training camp.

Blame Hillary Clinton for lock her up. That’s a level of delusion heretofore unseen. I don’t know if it’s Twitter or herb or something else that’s poisoned your mind, but it’s time for detox.

My brother and SIL live in Asheville. He's a centrist democrat, his wife makes AOC look like a conservative. Both of them admit more was done to clean up Asheville in the week following Trump's visit than in the 3 months following the Biden/Harris visit.

Certainly. The NOAA budget was cut. The area did not have a proper alert system in place. Now you see why slashing government funding is bad.

Exactly. So many fans get excited about every draft pick and year after year assume many will make significant contributions. I’m not sure how they miss how rare that is - especially when teams are without a high first round pick. It would not be difficult to find year old posts predicting that Coleman, Bishop and Carter would vastly improve our passing game and defense. That certainly wasn’t the case. I hope our 2025 rookies all hit big, but assuming big contributions from the class - especially in year 1 - is not realistic. An Eagle (or any other) fan assuming that none make a big difference this season is simply paying attention to the odds.

this would warrant a laughing emoji were it not true. oh, we'll be paying it. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0022343311431286 Real republicans understood this.

insurance companies in Conn are smart enough to not insure Fla. Perhaps Texas is next.

Actually, Bills didn’t draft a single player to address the Eagles front 4. I agree that the Eagles front 4 won the game for them. But two of their major contributors are gone.
