No they went and got Sauce because they needed an upgrade at CB. -

I would take that entire roster with 2025 JA any day over this one. Better WRs Better Defense Serviceable RB -
What team "won" on trade deadline day-2025 edition
Alphadawg7 replied to TBBills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think we can say Dallas really did themselves right with the Micah trade and came out on top here already. They traded a one dimensional pass rusher, who at Dallas's peak still wasn't winning with him when they had the #5 defense and #1 offense in the league. They avoided paying him a cap choking $48M (more than most QB's make) per year which would further deteriorate their already not good enough roster due to cap restrictions over time. What they turned Micah into was a multiple pro bowl DT - Kenny Clark, one of the best DT's in football in his prime Quinnen Williams, an extra 1st round pick, and the cap space to keep Pickens - not to mention more cap flexibility to make more moves. Micah Parsons vs 1st round pick, 2 Pro Bowl DT's, Pickens, and cap flexibility. I think its pretty hard to argue against the fact that Dallas did pretty well in the Micah trade. Does it mean Cowboys go on to win a SB, no, they are still the Cowboys and still have other issues. Only one team can win, and they are not that "one" team yet. But, its still a better place for them to be than with Micah and his contract. Meanwhile, Packers are not any better with Micah - and don't really look good enough to likely win their division let alone a Super Bowl. They lost/tied three bad teams in the last 5 games, created a hole at DT, have a $48M cap choking contract restricting their ability to build in FA, and also gave up 2 first round picks reducing their ability to build more talent through the draft. Its still Dallas, I am sure they still wont be going anywhere, but none the less they are in a better position from trading Micah than they would have been keeping him. -

Times change. Yesterday was an excellent example. And it only took 1 year. I don't think we'll campaign on those issues. Easy answer to the abortion question is that SCOTUS ruled on it. That doesn't preclude us from trying to expand SCOTUS but it need not be mentioned or highlighted. -
Well, they'll be another Trade Deadline next year.

You are correct. There certainly are. McDaniel is in over his head as the head coach. And there are a lot of distractions in South Florida. I live part time in Fort Lauderdale. And my boys who are in their 20's live in Miami. A lot of fun, (if you know what I mean) that can take your focus away from what you should be prioritizing. In the high rise I live in down there, I rode up the elevator one day with this huge dude. I had a Bills T shirt on. And he made a favorable comment about Bills Mafia. I asked who he was. And it was Patrick Paul. The Dolphins Left OT. He was real friendly. Just massive. And I am over 6 feet.

No they got him to cover Nico Collins in their division. Plus btj whenever he rebounds. they have had a great year but have not wont heir division by any means. They have two games with Houston left and a game with Jax left. there is a very long way to go. We are finally to football season and the better teams will start showing themselves definitively -
The Bills missed out on the top WR's in that years draft. The Bills were drafting 27th and were able to trade up to 25. From picks 20-23 all the better WR's were taken. JSN/Q Johnston/Flowers/Addison were all taken back to back to back to back. The Bills biggest need going into the 2023 draft was finding a second pass catcher opposite Diggs. They were drafting 27th so by the time they got to a place where they could trade up a slot or two all those WR's were gone. The next WR taken was Mingo by Carolina at pick 39 firmly in the 2nd round. Kincaid was considered the top TE in the draft. The Bills basically took the best pass catcher they could find at pick 25 and it was the wise choice in my opinion. Kincaid had a really nice rookie year adding another reliable receiving option to the core. Better to get a very good TE than reach for a WR. I also think holding onto the 56th pick to take Torrence as opposed to trading up made sense although JSN probably would have been worth it but hard to project that at the time.

Best combo!

I asked Ai the question "who pays air traffic controllers in..." Europe, Asia,S. America, Africa. Each answer began with "The national government generally pays." Interestingly, Brazil's are employed by the Air Force. I did find an entity called Eurocontrol which is run by multiple member states that appears to regulate air travel in Europe but does not appear to be private. What countries are you referring to?

I get what you’re saying, but I think we all know the guy is super mid at this point. They do too. I realize you aren’t going to find an all-pro out there just sitting around on the couch, but why not try turning over a different stone every now and then? Never know what you might find. League is littered with guys historically that have been UDFAs or practice squad contributors. Just my 2 cents though, which will ultimately get us nothing.
-
That would imply you need to have someone close to the best RB in football as your 2nd or 3rd RB. Anyone who has an Elite RB has this problem. If you have someone like a Cook or a Taylor, you're going to have a massive dropoff if they go down. League wide, 2nd or 3rd RB's are fairly unimpressive ball carriers. Like the best situations league wide are going from Bijan Robinson to Tyler Allgier or from Christian McCaffrey to Brian Robinson. And like having a decent Backup QB, these are outliers. Most teams with decent to very good RB's go from a James Cook to a Ty Johnson or Ray Davis.

So some anonomous Twitter Phuk posting obvious maga points more salient than two guys who listened posting well though out observations

Ah ok.. the abortion up To birth, pro-trans everything “sane” wing of the party. Shapiro and Beshear, yes. The other 3 aren’t the same. You’ve already tried those 3 in Georgia with Stacey Abrams -
Ridley as the main target feels odd. I would have taken him but kind of surprised that was the deal they were going after. Follows the pattern though of the type Beane goes after.
-
Does WGR get to call Beane and ask him some follow up questions lol

These guys are allies of self-interest. If the Dems regain power they'll swing back in the other direction

This is way more alarming IMO Many conservatives are quick to denounce handouts to the poor. However, the United States actually spends a lot of money on handouts to rich companies. As The Hill writes, “What these criticisms of proposed reforms for wealth inequality fail to recognize is that socialism for the wealthy not only exists, but is prevalent throughout our current system of government in the form of corporate socialism” (3). The Hill continues saying, “Companies that have failed in the marketplace stick the taxpayers with their losses, but when they make money they get to keep it, and secondly, huge amounts of capital are given to companies by taxpayers…” (4) Our current system is broken, and as I mentioned in my other article, “Capitalism is Broken,” I have made it abundantly clear that these systems put in place are meant to help the rich and leave the rest of America wondering how to recover financially. While CEOs and billionaires are continuing to gain wealth even during a pandemic as millions of people are out of work, it makes you wonder if maybe if our loss is actually their gain. https://umassmedia.com/21467/opinions/american-corporate-socialism/

The lamest take in all of sports fandom. Good job on being the first to bring it up today. I might even say that's "secretly elite". -
