Carpenter had two outstanding years, one good year and one bad year. FWIW he's the most accurate kicker in the history of the franchise, even with the bad year included.

Im ok with not making the move for Parsons but you’re going to have to explain this statement to me. Best QB in the NFL (argue w a wall) Elite OL Above Average RB Room Average TE Room with potential We’ll see what the WR Room is Same for DL, but tons of investment Top Tier Pair of LB’s Top Tier Slot Corner Top 12ish CB1 and a RD1 Pick at CB2 We’ll see about S How is that “not close to good enough” for a team that was just in the AFC Championship Game and lost by a ball placement and/or dropped pass?

Crazy to think there weren't multiple contending teams willing to spend on a 26yr old at the 2nd most premium position in football. Most contending teams already have a franchise QB.... none of these already contending teams ever have a realistic chance to draft a pass rusher like this because A- they're rare and B- they're off the board within the first 10 picks. Salary cap is exploding exponentially year to year. The money is a tough pill to swallow, but its fine

The interesting part to me is that I didn’t mention Cook, I pointed out well known Dems from NYS with…issues. Let’s let Cook have her day in the sun, let’s let the government handle things as they see fit. It would be nice to think there was zero politics in it, but the game is played the way it’s played. On a scale of 1 to 100, where 1 represents no political shenanigans and 100 represents the DOJ executing a warrant on an adversaries home for doing what it seems most high ranking individuals have done for decades, I’d put this at a 5. On the bright side, while I’d bet Homey passes on your question, I do believe he’ll offer a crackerjack of a story about an R leaning alderman in a town in Idaho who parked his personal vehicle in a No Standing zone in 1988.

It would have probably meant not extending 2 or 3 of Cook, Bernard, Shakir, Rousseau or Benford (and those in extended players likely walking at FA). It would also have meant no Hairston if we traded before the draft. So we’d be looking at Tre White/Rasul Douglas quality CB2 for the foreseeable future (i.e. a liability). How well did our pass rush do vs the Chiefs when Mahomes could just pass it quickly to whoever Elam was “covering”. I think a deal for someone like Parsons only makes sense if you are in a 2 year “all in” window. Where you are pushing your chips in like the Rams did. Our roster is not close to good enough to make an “all in” move right now.

Beane does have a habbit of bringing in a bunch of reduntant players and overpaying for mid talent. Instead of bringing in 4 or 5 JAGS he could get that one elite guy.

This I need to use the word “bloviating” more often.

i like this point for early in the season for a few reasons. our depth guys early and often can be utilized to take reps when guys are fresh. the defense plays most of the entire game and does not sub like corners or safeties. sure, in the beginning of the season they're the healthiest they may ever be in the season but they're not going to be able to take guys running flare routes. the first quarter or half i hope we just send guys down field over the top of the Ravens defense even if we run it or throw under routes. i want to stretch them out and put the long routes on film for other teams - especially because long route schemes and plays are only so limited. we won't reveal too much if we just send Samuel, Coleman, Shakir, Kincaid, Moore, Palmer deep every route. In this I want to put Kincaid in positions where Josh will feel comfortable just pushing him the ball with no risks. Josh already has it in his head that he did not trust Kincaid enough because his words were that he did not find him last year. I want to make it easy for Josh to find Kincaid every play but at the same time give him someone downfield +20 every play.

thought you might enjoy this one you once had in your regular rotation. In a related (by related I mean wholly unrelated) matter, why did you post 650 times in the Lincoln Project thread as Billstime, but zero as Highlander? What’s that all about?

Have the Scottish police released the cctv footage of the girl attacking the Bulgarian couple? That could put this to bed real quick.

I don't miss the bickering bills. This and Davis...good character men

I remember Edgar Martinez as a good hitter. But had no appreciation for the guy until I read more about him. Worked in a factory at one point before he tried out for the Mariners. Quiet, hard working, stayed with the same franchise 17 years. Nobody ever says a bad thing about him… Yeah growing up I appreciate him more today

🎯

As good as Shakir is, and Ofcourse I don't want him to miss any time, but that's the position I worry about the least having Josh jacobs and Elijah Moore

A generation is defined as what 10 years?? 60 years and six generations of fans. Along with the Dead you have the Rolling Stones and the surviving members of The Who still performing as example of bands who have been popular for just as long. I don't think Taylor Swift's music or popularity will have that kind of lasting power.

It’s not drafting well lol. Knox, Samuel, and AJE have $10M more of a cap hit than Micah does this year. We paid Diggs top end WR money and expected him to be here Josh through 2026. How were we planning to do that? It’s frankly absurd at this point. We can’t afford DK, we can’t afford Micah. The reason we can’t afford any other stars that become available is because we prioritize spending that money on 4 quarters trying to make a dollar. We give guys like Larry O $10M. And who knows. Maybe the Bills are right to do it that way. But please stop pretending that was the only option.

It's almost as if everyone should have Billstime Homelander on ignore.

Are you saying that the Grateful Dead had a cult following? 😲 According to an expert post upthread, fan cults are a recent phenomenon, apparently starting with Taylor Swift.

And see what Moore can give us opening night! He is Shakirs backup.

Was brutal to watch.

It can be reasonably argued IMO that this trade is not great for either team. The Cowboys traded a young difference maker who they alienated. The Packers spent a ton of money on a non QB. The Cowboys could end up being better for it 3-4 years down the road. The Packers could win a Super Bowl-doubtful. All in all, it isn't a slam dunk for either team and has a ton of risk.

Hear hear. Although I listened to Tommy the other day for the first time in a long time and picked up on a bunch of stuff that life and experience allowed me to tune into that young me didn't connect to. But while Pete has a fairly sizeable ego he doesn't let it tamp down the music, including giving his friend Speedy Keen the lead track on "Sell Out" because it's just such a great tune.

What the hell are you talking about?

Nice! I especially like those bolded above.
