  1. Past hour
  2. Why didn’t this happen last August? Probably that whole trying to help Ds win an election thing. I have more evidence to believe that’s accurate than you don’t.
  3. We should honestly just accept that we cannot win a trade war with China unless the leader who takes them on is willing to destroy his/her political party for 1-2 election cycles. We can hit them with mutually assured destruction and maybe get a few concessions, which is hopefully what Trump can get as China was clearly struggling more than we are with this trade war.. but Xi can far more easily manipulate their economic factors and wait it out. Trump has a a year before any fallout starts affecting the midterms and Powell at the Fed unwilling to budge. We’re just not set up, with our election cycles, to truly take on China in any meaningful way. Trump is trying, but it was always going to be chaotic and risky.
  4. Those teams were awful. I met Ralph Wilson, nice man, loved talking about the Bills. He was good for the league, but not a great owner. In 1983 Wilson let Chuck Knox walk, starting the Kay Stevenson era. This was the kind of mistake Ralph made too often, he’d revert to the familiar. Stevenson had been a QB with the Bills and then a QB coach, no head coaching experience at any level. Ralph made this kind of mistake consistently, remember when he brought Marv back as GM. This era was also the ushering in of the red helmets, which some of you are so fond of. The reason for the red helmets was idiotic. They thought they would help Ferguson find his receivers, they didn’t. The years that followed were an accident of fate. Ralph hired Terry Bledsoe as GM, Bledsoe hired Bill Polian as head of player personnel, a position that had not existed for the Bills, Ralph was against it. Bledsoe had health issues and wasn’t particularly good at his job, Polian became GM by default and the rest as they say is history.
  5. If we didn’t extend him. Drafting McConkey would be like replacing him. Extending b him early usually saves some money for the team.
  6. Below are the 40 times of some wideouts that Keon Coleman has been compared to (bigger with slower 40 times). Eric Moulds N/A Keenan Allen 4.71 (Pro Day) Anquan Boldin 4.71 Devin Funchess 4.70 Terrell Owens 4.63 Larry Fitzgerald 4.63 Cooper Kupp 4.62 Kelvin Benjamin 4.61 Allen Robinson 4.60 Tee Higgins 4.59 Plaxico Burress 4.59 Puka Nacua 4.57 DeAndre Hopkins 4.57 Michael Thomas 4.57 Davante Adams 4.56 Courtland Sutton 4.54 Mike Williams 4.54 Gabriel Davis 4.54 Brandon Marshall 4.53 Mike Evans 4.53 James Hardy 4.53 Dez Bryant 4.52 Michael Pittman Jr. 4.52 Vincent Jackson 4.51 Kenny Golladay 4.50 Keon officially ran a 4.61 at the Combine BUT... his top speed of 20.36 mph in the gauntlet drill is the fastest of any WR in 3 years running... Jimmy Horn had the fastest gauntlet speed in 2025 at 19.23 mph. Based on the rookie seasons of the above players, none of us can predict what kind of career Keon will have. I remain hopeful and optimistic.
  7. I think they have a nebulous end goal in mind but don't know how to achieve it without freaking out the markets. Their messaging and execution sucks. Trump just warned Wal Mart not to raise their prices because of the tariffs. That's like someone warning a car insurance company not to raise my rates despite two at fault car accidents in the same year.
  8. And I guess you are not an English professor . . . : )
  9. My Dad went through some dementia before he passed. He had good days and bad days and you didn’t know what to expect. Trump will go through the same. Father Time is undefeated. Many say Trump is already in a state of mental decline from years ago as his speech patterns have changed. So when Trump starts to slip up more, will he step down for the good of the country he lives so much? Who will be making the decisions then? Will his supporters want him to step aside? Of course the answer is no and so it is.
  10. Yeah, but she only saw him everyday...
  11. I assumed he was drafted for red zone and scramble drills bc of his athleticism. His route running is some of the most dramatic and telling ways of running routes I've ever seen. He leans too far in with his chest, tries to get low when he's making a cut, he also starts peddling his feet, it's a dead giveaway, that's why I think most of his catches are jump balls. I thought he played well until the injury, Poyer really lit him up.
  12. Honestly, a lot of it comes down to inflammatory language and factual content that hopefully elucidates counterpoints to the main story. So, I'll usually browse MSN (not MSNBC!) and yahoo news which pull content from all over. Fox News, Newsweek, NY post, Wash examiner, Post, WSJ, BBC, some of the links here which seldom pan out less than extreme, but still I look at more facts behind the argument and how inflammatory the sentences are. I'll check out CNN infrequently but they are way biased most of the time. Fox News is always interesting to me because they can offer inflammatory opinions and are seldom shy about it but they can put a lot of facts to their stories. Extreme left and right sources for a laugh and to check their fact content. Really I should utilize one of these pay news apps that tries to limit bias but I'm too old and cheap. I do consider it more seriously now though. It's disappointing so few sources report all the facts and I don't mind overt opinions or bias as per Fox News but try and acknowledge other realities for the people or situation involved.
  13. What do you mean “let Shakir walk?” He’s under contract and was under contract last year.
  14. Yes I think PPG tell a pretty significant story. There isn't a better measure of production than the amount you score. Brown had 9 receptions for 91 yards and 0 TD's. The Chiefs have only scored more than 30 points just once in the last 36 games or something like that. They've had a broken offense the last two years...the defense has carried them. I don't consider Rice to be elite after 1 productive season. Not elite season, a productive season. What season was that? Last year? He played 4 games and had 288 yards which is 72 yards per game... Which stats are you looking at?
  15. Time will tell, but Shakir was already on the roster and one of our better players on offense. If you let him walk, you are just creating an hole to fill and hoping McConkey turns out to be as good or a bit better. We hope our guys develop and earn a second contract, and that’s what happened here. BTW - We see a lot of UGA football and I was a big McConkey fan. I just didn’t know how he would make sense for the Bills.
  16. This is a great deal because Purdy was really on a 1 year $1M dollar deal before, so this is really a 6 year $265M deal with $182M guaranteed, which gives him an AAV of $44M. His agent got bamboozled! @DrDawkinstein @transplantbillsfan
  17. not a ringing trump endorsement the. I'll sit tight. But there will be many grifters who will do swimmingly. Hawley just announce his vehement opposition to Medicatd cuts. Missouri has a huge Medicaid population as does w virginia, Kentucky and Tenn. All were hit with devastating tornadoes yesterday and FEMA has been drastically weakened. Populism is great until it isn't. The tide will turn. Roll tide indeed.
  18. yup. It's very pretty. I think many of these are second homes from folks from Atlanta. Town seems dark red.
  19. I did say “unscientifically”, to be fair.
  20. I repeat, why assume he won’t?
