I agree. Time to completely privatize health care. You in?

And that helped us to get Josh Allen and Ed Oliver. Two excellent players who have been with the team for 7 and 8 years now. The reason I only went back 4 years with Philly is because those are the years that they drafted the "impact" players that people talk about. I don't think we'd want to count Philly's 2019 1st-rounder Andre Dillard (19 starts for the Eagles in 6 years---backup O-lineman), or their 2020 1st-rounder Jalen Reagor, who only spent two years in Philly. Not quite "impact" players. I guess every GM makes mistakes. People bring up Philly often, but they actually aren't a good comparison because of where they have drafted in comparison to the Bills over the last 4 years. I made a post a while back showing that the better comparisons are K.C. and Tampa, as they have drafted closer to where Buffalo has. In the post I compare the first 3 rounds of the last four drafts of those three teams (Buffalo, K.C., and Tampa) if you care to check it out.

It’s not weather that the contractor would be concerned about. The seats are designed to be outside in the elements for many years. It’s breakage from construction activity. And it’s just that sort of breakage that gets into protracted finger pointing between the various subcontractors on the project. As regards the overall schedule, it’s most likely not an indication of anything more than that the seats were ready, and delivered, so the General Contractor elected to take the risk of having them installed ‘early’.

I won’t lie, I’ve taken a good, hard look at this thing. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/lawn-mowers/push-mowers/7006267 FIL has an old Black and Decker mower with a cord. It’s a pain to keep the cord out of the way, but it’s invincible out doing its job.

I was only 2 years old in 1986 but I actually was surprised to learn the Yankees won 90 games that year. With how much the Mets dominated the city back in the day I thought the Yankees were at best like 70 win teams those years

Been looking at them but waiting for my old gas one to call it quits. …..Toro One Pull my azz!

That’s true. We were also a 9 win team in 2017 and a 6 win team in 2018.

Why do you hate the Prescripted, Andy? (I’m trying to get out in front of this one and People of Prescriptions doesn’t cover it)

The government has negotiating power over drug coverage and pricing for Medicare and Medicaid but little over Commercial coverage. If you ask me the first thing I'd look at doing in the Commercial segment is bringing anti-competitive charges against insurers to force divestiture of PBM businesses. A couple being Optum Rx and CVS Caremark.

not very smart of Peacock

Pegula is not firing McDermott for what many fans would feel be the threshold. McDermott is going to have to have like 3 straight years of missing the playoffs w Josh Allen to get axed by T pegs. Just not happening folks

They were also a 4-win team in 2020 and a 9-win team in 2021. [13-19 record compared to the Bills 24-9 record those two years.]

I laughed out loud at women’s mittens

Those long contested two point attempts.. it's like dude, just attempt a 3 pointer at that point haha

It is also true that one size doesn’t fit all. What worked for Josh may not work for the others. allen is a unique player.

It seems you have a lot of negatives for a very good team. But, I'll just address the two bolded. How are you so sure about Coleman yet? He was a rookie who had a pretty bad injury. You didn't seem to mention his injury, hmmm. He was out for 4-1/2 games. In the meantime, Hollins got more playing time, Samuel was finally healthy enough to get more snaps, and Amari was getting more snaps (after his addition). The offense adapted and changed with Keon out. And they were still being successful, so they ran with what they were doing (which meant fewer snaps for Keon on his return). Now, it also appears that something happened after the injury too. Sounds like maybe he either got a bit skittish or didn't work hard enough coming back from the injury (or a combination of both), based on what McD said at the end of the year. But, again, he was a rookie coming back from his first major injury to a diminished role. Give the kid some time to mature. The two games before the injury he had 170 yards and a TD. I don't think you should write off Keon so easily or so early. And you do realize that Brandon was in an interview and was being asked questions right? Rich Eisen asked him specifically about drafting Josh, so he spoke about it. You make it sound like Beane went on with some agenda or something. If Reid or Roseman were asked about drafting Mahomes and Hurts in an interview, I'm sure they would answer. And do you watch all of the K.C. and Philly media? Have you seen all of Reid's and Roseman's interviews since drafting said players? I'm sure they've talked about drafting those guys plenty of times. Seriously, the lengths some of you guys go to to try and knock Beane...

If Forrest is over his break, he could be a beast.

FTFY. No reason to plug a movie that's been out for 2 weeks.

The more I simmer on this selection, the more I want Beane fired. Are you kidding me with this hand size? 6th percentile for TEs at 9 1/8th…does he shop for women’s mittens? Might not have needed them at GT. I can get that but hold on he only benches 225 16 times…the worst of all FIVE participants at the combine. I thought this guy was touted as a blocker? Furtheore he’s an averaged sized Te and somehow only slightly faster than Keon Coleman. His last name isn’t even Williams. For a fifth round pick, I was expecting someone with all pro, maybe HoF level measurables. Happy Mothers Day

No. I remember it being reported that Poyer being recommended by Babbich Sr. after coaching him in Cleveland. McDermott and Frazier thought he'd fit in. Hyde played well the previous year in Green Bay and we had to overpay to get him. Luckily, McDermott and staff turned him from a jack of all trades master of none into a pro bowl safety. Beane didn't have much to do (if anything) with those signings. They thought Mike Edwards might be a diamond in the rough last year. He wasn't. This year they're hoping the same from Forrest.

Rookie my balls. I'll be slamming the beer and get bumped by people going down the row. 🤪 My wife misses alot of the game getting me those beers.

The Eagles traded for a lot of those top 10-15 picks FWIW.

Getting to 7 was not that easy. It took two separate trades, giving up 4 picks and a player to do so. And as others have said, no one in the top 6 was willing to budge. I'm sure they offered quite a bit to the Giants to try and get up to #2. But were denied. But you somehow fault Beane (or call him lucky) for not giving up more assets to get higher? You have no idea what they offered to move up. Plus, the only luck was Cleveland not taking Josh at one. And if they had, that wouldn't have been on Beane, you are not getting a QB-hungry team out of the first spot in what was considered an all-time QB draft (at the time). Everyone knew the Jets were in on Darnold and no one in the top 6 besides Cleveland wanted a QB. Maybe Denver debated about it, but ultimately they went with Chubb (obviously were not totally sold on Josh). Elway was going to trade the pick to Buffalo if Chubb wasn't there, so they were NOT picking Josh. How about you? You knock Beane for not being more aggressive to get Josh. [Still got him btw.] Was he your first pick QB in that draft? And if I remember correctly (and I think I do), there was an image that came out after the draft at some point that showed Josh was actually at the top of their board of the QBs. You can deny it, but everything points to the Bills wanted Allen most of all of the QBs that year (unlike most Bills fans at the time). As to a TON of VERY disappointing 1st and 2nd round picks, well, let's take a look: 1st round: Josh Allen, Ed Oliver, Tremaine Edmunds, Greg Rousseau, Kaiir Elam, Dalton Kincaid 2nd round: Cody Ford, AJ Epenesa, Boogie Basham, James Cook, O'Cyrus Torrence, Cole Bishop, Keon Coleman 13 picks total. I see 3 Busts (Ford, Elam, Boogie). I wouldn't be surprised if you looked at other teams last 13 1st and 2nd round picks, you would probably find at least 3 busts as well--or more (and many of those teams were drafting higher than us). So, 3 busts, 2 studs (Josh and Jimbo), 3 players close to stud-level (Rousseau, Oliver, Torrence), 2 players that it's still too early to tell (Coleman and Bishop), and 3 players that are solid players, but didn't quite reach their draft status (Edmunds, Epenesa, Kincaid---though I still think Kincaid will). It's not a homerun by any means (outside of Josh and Jimbo), but it's also not as bad as you make it out to be. Plus, with the three busts, Beane at least turned them into a 5th and two 6ths (got something for nothing at least). Those picks turned into Justin Shorter, Jordan Hancock, and Dorian Strong. Shorter was not a great pick, but if Hancock and Strong do well, at least we didn't come away with nothing. Oh and btw, no matter how bad we think he is, Ford is still a starting offensive lineman in the league (so a bust for us, but not a total washout in the league). And not that it says much, but Kaiir and Boogie are still in the league too (probably won't be starters though, obviously---or have a long career it appears). Again, you must have context to things. For instance, people bring up Howie Roseman and the Eagles as an example of picking impact players (in contrast to Beane). But, they always fail to note that over the last 4 years the Eagles have picked significantly higher than we have. Here are the 1st and 2nd round picks the Eagles (8 picks) and the Bills (7 picks) have had in the first two rounds over the last 4 years. Philly picks: 9, 10, 13, 21, 30, 37, 51, 53 Bills picks: 23, 25, 30, 54, 59, 61. 63 Don't you think that maybe if the roles were reversed (pick-wise) Brandon would have some more impact players on the team? They had 4 picks higher than our best pick. If you averaged all of the picks together, that equates to Philly picking 28th and the Bills picking 45th. Doesn't everyone color their stories to accentuate the positives. It is a fairly human trait imo. And it's also a business that is trying to make money. Of course they are going to try and put a good face on everything. Every team does it. Every company does it. Plus, it seems a bit condescending to tell all of us that we just aren't prescient enough to see through all of Beane's lies, scams, and political speak. Beane has actually been one of the most open and honest GMs or coaches I have seen in the league in a while. Sure, there are some things he needs to keep close to the vest for competitive reasons, etc. But this idea that Beane is trying to get over on the fans, and plans and creates elaborate stunts to do so is bull imo. He has often admitted mistakes (such as letting Wyatt Teller go). Even in his press conference after this year's draft he talked about missing at CB (Elam) and mentioned picking Boogie. He is not some ego-maniac who can't admit his mistakes or is always lying to make himself look better.
