Bills could easily finish 2nd is sacks despite Ed

Strong play from secondary will allow more time for increased pressure. Toss in a few blitzes, teams now have to look at our defense differently. Rookie Hairston brings new dimension to defense (shutdown corner with speed). NO MORE INJURIES PLEASE!!!! -
I should point out nobody seemes concerned about the new fundamentalist government in Syria wiping out Christians and other minorities. The administration is rolling out the welcome mat for the new dictator. One wonders the logic of supporting these regime change operations such as removing Assad. They generally result in consequences greater than those existing under the original dictator. As for Nigeria, look before you leap comes to mind.

At this point he’s not the face of that team. He’s a nice perk not a cornerstone. “you can are at the end of the road - are you going to write the story of a savvy team first vet, or the guy that couldn’t buy in anywhere and teams regretted” And then you plan to bail from him on a short timeline

Canisius HS has the best player in New York state

Puts me in mind of a story I read. Mertz had made the college football team all four years, but never played. In the final home game of senior year, he packed the stadium with friends and relatives, and gave them the order to start a chant, "We want Mertz!", in order to sway the coach. The chant began right after halftime, and gradually grew until even strangers and fans from the opposite side joined in. Finally in the fourth quarter, the coach looked down the bench, and gestured for Mertz to attend. "Yes, Coach! I'm ready!", says Mertz. "Good", says the coach. "Go see what they want." * * Sincere congratulations to Mr. Kimble on his accomplishments, and future course. -
Bills don't "need" a WR, they need to use the ones they have better

It seems not long ago that Josh was being criticized for ignoring open receivers on short routes to try and make big plays downfield. -
I think because the only reason the Dems suddenly became flexible is the election came and went so holding the line no longer provides any politiical value. Too far away from Nov 2026. Secondly, the majority has traditionally imposed the clean continuing resolution approach on the minority and there's nothing special about this budget impasse exercise that warrants any conditions. The idea being this is what you guys force us to accept and suddenly now that its your turn you want flexibility. Perspective can change a lot.

yea, frankly he’s playing to his draft profile pretty darn accurately a slower guy that struggles to create space but will slightly better than average win on balls that have a low catch rate. it was written all over his film and measurables minus being fast in the one drill. but wait, he also played basketball so he maybe never developed fully. We all are hoping that he grows more than most guys do… luckily on top of all that he seems to have a knack for not having 100% focus

He’s good friends with Damar and is at most of his charity events. Damar is at his as well.

Great question!! I would have said under a couple of weeks ago but it feels like we are entering “Thanos time.” It feels like he is about to start dominating. “Feeling” isn’t the best way to analyze something but you know it when you see it. He had that look last week that has been largely absent for the first half of the year. We may see him dominate the second half on his way to another MVP.
-
I thought at the time the Damar visit was weird. It wasn't about Damar, it was about Stefan. Look at me! He wasn't quietly sneaking out the back door after the visit. Divas don't change their spots.
-
in simplest terms - and completely bar napkin…. if Josh leaves us 200M for the rest of the team, can we dedicate 120M+ of that to the 5 starters on the OL plus cook? At some point it forces a large hole somewhere else. Likely multiple.

In a lot of ways it was a really, really arrogant approach to WR. The Bills traded Diggs and let Gabe walk. They didn’t replace them in FA (Samuel and Mack). Maybe they thought Samuel would replace Gabe. Mack was brought here for ST but outperformed that. They went into, arguably, the greatest WR draft ever with a clear hole at the top of the depth chart. There were 3 guys that were surefire number 1 WRs and then a 4th guy that was kind of in his own tier. He was the prototypical 1st round WR prospect that was going to be a good WR. He had a little more downside than the other 3 but upside as well. From there, there was probably about another 10 guys that were 1st or 2nd round type of guys in a normal draft. They had varying levels of ceilings and floors. They also had diverse skills that both made them good and limited them. From that group you had to select the right combination of skills that you needed with the right mix of floor and ceiling. As an example, if the Bengals wanted a WR they could swing for the fences because if they missed, they were still great there. If they hit, they could dump an expensive good player and get a return. The Bills were trying to replace the top of their depth chart and a lot of targets. They had to take a guy with a higher floor even if it meant they were sacrificing some upside. The most important skillset that they needed was the ability to get open. They should have tried to move mountains to get one of the top 3. I didn’t love Thomas at the time but he made sense after that. When they failed to move up McConkey, Worthy or Pearsall should have been the pick (probably in that order). You had to have a guy that was going to be good and productive out of the gate. Maybe none of those guys would ever be great but would be a solid contributor immediately. The Bills didn’t have the luxury to miss (to go back to the Bengals example above). Instead, they traded down twice. That was insulting enough and showed a lack of a plan. Then, they decline offers to trade down further and take the guy with a ton of question marks. He was considered a project by everyone. The thought was always, “he could become Devante Adams but it’s a long shot.” The Bills could have done that later but they had to have a “safer” option first. They had to protect against, “what if this guy just stinks?” Unfortunately, that’s what happened and they are trotting out one of the worst WR rooms in the league. It hasn’t bitten them yet but how much better would this team be if you just swapped out Coleman for Ladd? The entire approach to WR has been arrogant and flawed. Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, Makai Lemon, Chris Bell and Denzel Boston are probably the most popular names. There’s a kid at Tennessee and a kid at A&M as well. It’s a group that looks better now than it did earlier in the season. The 2027 class should be an all-timer.

History indicates different. I think well keep all of them, but the Edwards/McGovern deals will be a bit shorter than Torrence.

716, even though i grew up in Hamburg, mydad used to be as a side job the House Manager of the K of C, mygrandma lived in the front of my Uncle Opthamology office, my mom worked for my uncle, my brother lived in Lack, so i basically grew up around Lackawanna. Whenever I drove past that stadium i always thought whatan ungrateful SOB Jaworsky was for not taking the time to come back for Homecoming. I couldnt stand listening to him on ESPN before he was canned. Be proud of where you came from. Living in Philly is fine, but don’t forget you're roots. -
Does the dems “ask” still include COVID-era subsidies for families making up to 600k/yr? If so, the dems “ask” amounts to one of those handouts to the rich you normally whine about. Now, because of party politics only, that’s totally reasonable from your point of view. Nice work. V/R, AM

Guys like this set a horrible example for the kids.
