Intricacies of the draft and the cap for which I am really not good at all is one of the reasons I love this board... thanks for your explanation in understandable terms.. Looks like the Bills moved Jacksonville and layed down a big ol butt bomb...

What’s the deal with Winston and Cousins?
HomeskillitMoorman replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
Daboll/Schoen need to win this year. And if they don't, they at least have to show some big potential from Dart in the 2nd half of the season. That's why they loaded up, they basically get those 2 shots to keep their jobs - either win or show a very promising future. They were lucky to even get this after the way the last 2 seasons went. -
Its also very exciting that he sorta played all over for OSU. He seemingly didnt have a specific role and had to know the whole defense. Very excited that were getting a supreme athlete that knows the defensive philosophy throughout. That he didnt have the specific role to shine in was seemingly why he was available so late. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Jordan-Hancock-CB-OhioState (near the bottom says played CB, NCB, and S).

There might be a couple others as NIL money makes it so that you have something to fall back on should you run into a serious injury. But it is only going to be a narrow range of QB prospects who are gonna have the luxury to be picky with landing spots. The guys who know if they wait a year at worst they will be a top 5 pick prospects that I think would have fit this bill in the last 10ish years Trevor Lawrence, Andrew Luck, and maybe Caleb Williams? That's about it. And of those players what maybe one of them wouldn't have liked their landing spot? It will be a situation that pops up once or twice a decade at worst.

As important as John Brown and Beasley were when they were brought in to help josh in year 2. They also replaced Groy/Bodine with Morse, Ducasse with Spain, and Mills with Ford. They also added depth with Feliciano, Nsekhe and Spencer long. They definitely whiffed on moving on from Teller, but they did use those picks to help acquire Diggs, and added Bass in the 6th.

This is an option I have come to accept as well. For many years, especially under Bush's GWOT, I was in the decidedly liberal camp that criticized the attempt to label Islam a threat for fear of contributing to xenophobia and racism. And there are certainly racist and xenophobic people out there. But that doesn't change the fundamental truth that there are enough Muslims moving to the west who don't respect Western integration and who would decidedly vote to turn western democracies into Islamic theocracies. The term I've seen that does a good job describing how and why liberals turn a blind eye to the very real harm of Islamic ideology (and other toxic states of affairs) is "toxic empathy." That is, allowing for extremely toxic behavior out of fear of being called racist or sexist, or xenophobic or anti-trans... And this conglomeration of toxic states of affairs, from letting anyone and everyone cross the border illegally, to telling every five year old in school that changing their gender might solve all of their problems ECT... Is why millions and millions of people who haven't voted R in their lives saw Trump 2024 as the lesser of two evils.

1. I think a team can expect to not be missing their starting (and best) cornerback and player in the secondary AND their starting safety. Those are huge losses in a any defense, especially one clearly undermanned all year long, and now playing Mahomes and his three time Super Bowl champion team in their own home. Bizarre that someone would think the head coach and quarterback of a team in that position would not feel more pressure. Of course, they would. A duh, actually. 2. The Bills getting to the Championship Game again and not winning it would be disappointing, and of course a failure to many concerned. But it is not a massive failure, would likely only be to bashers and haters of McBeane, who try to turn almost every thread into a 'Fire the bum', thread. Hard for them to see the forest through the trees, as their vision is so distorted. 3. ...which is a nice segue into my response to your "They have never played good playoff defense." Yes, they lost to the Chief in that playoff game, of course, even with an excellent defense that year. The Chiefs got the better of almost every defense they played that year and scored over 30 points nine times that season, winning the Super Bowl to cap it all off. But like so much of the McBeane bashing, just hyperbole and throw away nonsense for anyone to say that Bills have never played good playoff defense--unless they only choose to watch Bills' losses. The Bills have definitely played good, some would say excellent, or even superb, playoff defense under this particular team. Just the weak before this game, they man handled the Patriots--the pats were never in the game. And then they crushed the Ravens in the playoffs to an even greater degree, holding them to just 3 points. And ditto for their win against the Steelers after the 2023 season, a 31-17 win. And last year's beat down of the Broncos, who, after their initial score early in the game, were shutout, 31-7. The word Never seems to mean something much different to you than to most people, and as defined in most dictionaries, I think. (I probably should have never said, as I did just a few posts ago, that I did not want this to turn into a 'Fire the coach!' (or GM) thread, as any attention keeps them going...)

Yeah! Damn AutoCorrect. I notice then AND the two BigBoxes stand alone on that chart. I wonder where they (Husky/Kobalt) source their parts from?

Biden's Post "Presidency" -- What Will He Do?
BillsFanNC replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Just following PPP precedent 4th&schlong... -
If it is, it is. Only Beane truly knows. It will be fine.

All that will be addressed at the end of summer. Right now, Beane needs to get the 90 signed.

Biden's Post "Presidency" -- What Will He Do?
4th&long replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
No sh it really? Who cares what he does he's irrelevant. -
It’s 100% true. Just watch last year’s games. I don’t have game film in my pocket to share (wish I did) but spend an hour of any game just focusing on Hamlin. He’s clueless out there and absolute garbage in coverage but sure he’s a willing tackler. And yes Lewis is 2nd worst on the list but even he shows mild situational awareness. Bishop was a second round reach and made rookie mistakes but you can see that he knows how to play the position and he’s athletic enough to stay with guys when’s focused to not leave corners on an island. Do I love our safeties, no, I think that’s a huge weakness still but at least with crazy heat sealing missile Rapp I get a guy who understands how to play safety, even if he doesn’t care about his or any other players well-being. I’m hopeful that Hancock and Forest are the real deal but that’s a stretch because even if they outperform others in camp it’s not McDs MO to give newbies a starting gig over his guys

Stadium Construction Discussion (No PSL/Seat selection posts)
SoMAn replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
So what? Did they discontinue making the 'Young' team jersey nameplates? My point was he presumably has enough funds to purchase 6 PSLs and all that goes with it (tickets, parking, merch, concessions, etc.), but wears a dated, thread-worn team jersey. Geez, put out the extra C-note and don some decent attire for the publicity event. Or.. just duck into the Bills locker room and 'borrow' a jersey, -
It sounds to me like you're saying greed is driving all sides of this equation. Hospitals selling out. Doctors selling out. With respect to the CEO of the hospital, what type of salary are you speaking of? With respect to the top dog neurosurgeon, what type of earnings are you speaking of for him/her? As an alternative, what you you suggest as a fixed income for both?

I agree. Except for the Manning's.

With the savings, he can buy a vise! 🙄🤨 Did you mean Hilti? 🤨

The problem with these newer manual reel mowers is they are cheaply made, and little care is placed in their manufacturing. Grass is ripped, whereas the manual reel mowers of the 50s actually sheared the grass. My father had conniptions because our mailman would toss the twine from mail bundles onto the grass, screwing up the sharpness of the reel. The air would be blue with curses when that happened. 🤬
