Virginia Governors Race
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Oh didn't you hear, Virginia is such a leftist state it was all just a forgone conclusion that the governorship would be flipped... by 15+ percentage points vs. 2021... by a woman. Must've been a big influx of illegals voting there over the past 4 years... -
My idea of what to do with Hairston was something I posted during draft time. After using the 1 on Hairston I wanted Beane to use those two 2nd rounders on the best corner and DL or WR on the board. Move Johnson to safety to team with what is now Bishop, put the 1 and 2 2025 draft corners out there with Bedford when the go nickel. But Beane traded those picks to Chicago to move up for Sanders now on IR. And then he uses some day 3 picks on a couple corners when doing it my way would have let him do purely BPA or swing at a few WR picks round 3 thru 7.

Game week thread - Bills at Dolphins

Did the recipe of having a #1 WR in Diggs work in the playoffs for a few us? Narratives are strong. We broke our franchise record in points last year but our offense sucked. -
Trade Deadline has come and gone

At the end of the day for me it always comes back to the value system in place. Beane is very arrogant about how he values things. Whereas another GM will value a WR skill set that the team is lacking to be worthy of a 1st or second round pick. Beane values it as much lower, likely a 3 or 4. And, when it comes to paying a WR, he'd much rather not go big bucks and piece it together. He also made in my estimation a huge ego related error by calling into WGR in the spring. It has caused him to be more stubborn and dig his heels in more because he needs to be right. I'm done with this all now. He better be right! -
Trade Deadline has come and gone

Palmer, Samuel and Moore will be healthy post-'Phins and then off we go with that group. Bills would have needed to give a 3rd and a 4th for Shaheed. Beane was wise not to do that when he has Palmer, Samuel and Moore available and under contract. Keon will see his snaps reduced once Palmer is back and that is that. Trust the Process. Mc Beanes know what they are doing. They know the Jones, Palmer et al return timelines better than any of us do. Plus there is no cap space for any of the big names. We have the roster; just need to get it off. IR and back on the field. Go Bills. -

GunnerBill replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall
And I think Beane drafted him thinking he'd be a good receiving back and offer some pop in the run game. He has surprised even them I suspect. I am not trying to be smart after the event but there were people before that draft saying the Bills should take Breece Hall in the first and I said I think there is so little between them I'd rather take Cook in the second. It is now undeniably the case that Cook is a better back than Hall. -
If he can’t return punts with that speed he can’t play WR.

The Jokeman replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall
Come on now McKellar wasn't a guy that could put up 100 yards receiving. He was more of a redzone TD magnet. Shakir is reminiscent of Reed in both play from the slot. Yet Shakir is more jittery. The difference is the current Bills can score in long sustaining drives. See that 8 minute masterpiece we saw against the Chiefs to open the game. Had Kelly and co done that more we could have easily beat the Giants in Super Bowl XXV. -
Let the dude work his way into starting DB - team is better for it.

H2o replied to TBBills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
You have to take into account who will be managing those picks. The Jets waste them the wrong people and end up in the same boat 4-6 years down the line again, with a different coach, and a different failed QB. -

Captain_Quint replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall
His college career, while solid, didnt really showcase his talents like other stud RBs. He finished his senior year 2nd on the team with 728 yards. The talent was there in spurts, but it really wasnt until his 2nd or 3rd yr in the NFL that he broke out and became the threat that he is today. Good job by Beane to take him in the 2nd, then build a running game around him, and then resign him. He's definitely worth it. -
Keon has more snaps than any other WR for some unknown reason. In what universe does that make sense? Is there a worse starting WR today? He’s been disciplined a couple times. He gets zero respect from opposing defenses. They put a Safety in the box, and dare us to beat them over top. But our WR, especially Coleman, have trouble separating. It was an easy position to upgrade, and we failed. We get Palmer back soon, that will help. But Keon has zero business starting. We lose Mack Hollins and Amari, and Palmer is supposed to replace those 2. Moore was an afterthought, after Beane’s WR tantrum on WGR, he signed Moore from the scrap heap. Shaheed is exactly what we need. I know there are brilliant minds in FO. How can they not see this obvious truth? A 3rd rounder would have gotten it done. Shaheed would have upgraded the return position, and allow us to replace Coddrington with a more useful player. Shaheed fit under the cap. Shaheed is the fastest WR in the NFL and would have gotten instant respect. Teams would have backed up- great for Cook, Shakir, Dalton. But we nothing, and they crowd the box, and make everything more difficult. We lose Hoecht and Ed, and do nothing. Useful players went for a 5th. Im shocked Beane did nothing. We have a good as chance as any team of winning SuperBowl this year. Why wouldn’t you want to improve yesterday? Like Marino said- “Brandon Beane- you better to be right. Hopefully you will be at peace with yourself, for the lack of action, at the end of the season”

No moves except the clearing of some cap space to add street FA's. Such is the life of a Bills fan. We had started to see what this defense could be with Hoecht looking like Lattimer on the juice again. Then, pop goes the achilles and we are right back at square one. I would have loved to see a move for another high energy pass rushing threat, or a WR, but the 2025 squad is the 2025 squad. Here's to hoping McDermott calling the defense again keeps us along the same trajectory, and the play from our TE's continues to offset the mediocre WR room.
-
Stefon Diggs. Hopefully a Zach Wilson/Mac Jones repeat. Tua also was a fairly recent top. pick in our division. It's great having Josh. And then Pittsburgh happened. Three INTs and 2 fumbles... oof! Nyheim Hines, Rasul Douglas, and Amari Cooper were all trade deadline acquisitions.... 3 years in a row. I haven't seen Indy play this year so I can't say how close I think they are. I guess we'll see soon enough. Again it's weird timing that Irsay checked out this year of all years. I saw where his famous rock memorabilia collection is going up for auction.

GunnerBill replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall
Health is obviously a consideration with every player in the league. For a back mind you James doesn't take that many big hits. He is a different style of runner to his brother. The bigger risk is him getting his ankle rolled up on etc which he did a bit Sunday and looked gimpy for a series or two afterwards. That can happen to anyone at any time. The him wearing down.... I worry less about that. -
SNAP/EBT/Food Stamps
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to SCBills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This is massively more complex than people simply living off the dole, and it's almost certainly going to get more complicated as we navigate the concept of what employment is, as we progress through the infantile stages of BS Intelligence replacing human effort. For instance, what exactly do you see the near-future role of middle-management being? If I own a major company, I see 'replaceable' in their future, and not too far away. If true, do they need to learn ebonics to navigate the SNAP program? Education is key.
