All Activity

All I know is the drought, which is why I’ll gladly talk like this. My entire fandom was growing up during the drought. Sorry I didn’t get to experience Super Bowls like some of those upset I’m making comments about our GM that most of the NFL community agrees with. There isn’t some loud contingent of NFL people praising the roster around Allen. Sorry I didn’t put all my posts together in one long Tale of Two Cities length novel. I’ll be sure to do that next time since it’s apparently too difficult to read the second post I made praising some of Beane’s moves. But there is zero part of me that thinks he’s a good GM. I think he’s fine. And I think he’s fading. This year being almost comical. Bad extensions, bad signings and now two ridiculous situations where he’s somehow the focal point of our team.

I thought that the LEFT was for choice ?

If you blitz Burrow, he's going to kill you. If you don't blitz Burrow, he's going to kill you. Your best defense is going to be scoring a lot of points.

Yeah, I'm sure Rosenhaus represents at least one other player on the Bills Beane couldve called him about, and then slid in "So how does Slay feel about driving up the 90?"

Damning. Here's the article: "'We’re All Just Winging It': What the Gender Doctors Say in Private In footage obtained exclusively by The Free Press, gender doctors acknowledge they perform life-altering procedures on vulnerable youth with no supportive evidence—and they are proud of it."

They’re both right. Backdoor phone calls and dealings happen all the time.

If the Minnesota fraud was so huge, why didn't government officials notice and take action? The question is asked on today's episode of the NYT podcast "The Daily." The answer is two-fold: 1. A group called Feeding Our Future accused the state of racism for "slow walking" their application. This wasn't long after the "national reckoning" that followed the death of George Floyd, and "at that time, nobody wanted to be called a racist, even it was wholly unfounded" and "that really had a paralyzing effect on people in state government who knew something funny was going on, but didn't really want to stick their necks out and stop it." 2. Money was cycling back to the Democratic Party. "Somali Americans have become politically quite powerful in the state... and... became important donors to their campaigns.... [S]ome democratic elected officials... worried that any action they took to question or intervene in a way that would maybe stop these schemes, could have alienated a really important constituency." Now, the podcasters clearly wish the fraud problem could be solved by Minnesota. But Trump has jumped at the opportunity to emphasize what reads as racial. He forthrightly — brutally — connected the fraud problem to immigration from the wrong places: Click for more » https://althouse.blogspot.com/2025/12/if-minnesota-fraud-was-so-huge-why.html#more

I think we’ll know pretty early on. If we’re playing way off their WRs and not challenging anything, we’re going to get smoked. I disagree with some that say McD will bring something new this week.

I think fox is going to the 53 after slay is put on the did not report list... Then two ps elevations Lawson and probably Spector or Dane Jackson

Aaron Quinn at least provides the CBA verbiage as evidence. According to that, Beane couldnt contact Slay/Rosenhaus until Slay cleared waivers. If the 2nd guy has anything to cite besides just saying "wrong" then it would help if posted it.

You didn’t say any of that in the post I responded to. Maybe you said it somewhere else, but it definitely wasn’t in the rant I quoted. I replied directly to that post, the one where you called Beane a clown, trashed half the roster, and acted like the last eight years never happened. If you want credit for giving out A plus grades, you might want to include those in the post you’re defending. Because what you wrote was the exact opposite, you said we only compete because of Allen, full stop, and everything else is “in spite of Beane.” That’s what I was responding to. And honestly, if you lived through the 17 year drought and still talk like this team has given you nothing but misery, that’s wild. If you didn’t live through the drought, that at least explains the lack of perspective. We can criticize Beane without pretending the Bills have suddenly turned into the 2008 Detroit Lions. There’s a huge difference between wanting better and acting like the last eight years never existed.

Everyone keeps saying how terrible the Bengals offensive line and defensive are. I know that Burrow has been out for most of the year, but why are they so bad? They have been a perennial playoff team for the past 10 years or so

Would be cool if we get a draft pick out of this lol

Gonna be a "best defense is a good offense" type of game. Have to score early and often, jump out to an early lead, etc.

I can't see calling up 2 DEs from PS. Especially with us short a CB. I'm thinking Fox and Dane Jackson get activated from the game.

More important, every play they turn around and hand him the ball it's on less time they are throwing to Chase or Higgins. I HOPE they try and run the ball

it does. But it was widely reported in Pittsburgh papers that Slay wanted to start and that was why he was released. Not sure how Bean missed that.

The Bengals offensive line is terrible. It will be disappointing if we can't get pressure even without Bosa. This is a game Rousseau needs to step up. AJ needs to do something. Walker needs to wreck a little in the middle.

if so, I just remain doubtful that Beane wouldn’t have put out feelers to rosenhaus. It seems like basic due diligence.

They're going to have to try some exotic things. But it starts with stopping the run and forcing 2nd/ 3rd and long Allen is going to need to be excellent. The Bengals are going to sell out vs the run Would be nice if Rousseau took over the game

Never said any of that. Specifically pointed out he gets an A+ for Allen, A+ for OL construction and A+ for Cook. We compete every year because of Allen. Not because of Beane and lately, it’s in spite of Beane.

Same ol’ story, bodies started to pile up 🤷‍♂️. Or 30 other guys

the 2nd guy it sounds like. The highlighted part does not appear to even say what the first poster claims it says.

It sounded like you were dissing Denzel Ward. I have no idea what your other comments are about, sorry.

so who is right here?
