It is revolutionary in the sense that previous technology enabled enhancements to productivity resulting in workers being able to produce greater output then before. AI results in enhanced productivity while eliminating workers. The primary issue is all of the benefits of AI go to the owners of capital and all the costs and consequence go to labor. Millions will lose their jobs. The standard response from proponents of AI is the unemployed will work in "new" industries and jobs created as a result of AI without being able to articulate or speculate on what those new industries and jobs will be. Meanwhile, vast quantities of finite resources, water, natural gas, electricity, other materials are being allocated to this sector which will result in even greater costs to be borne by the have-nots. So far the focus has been to develop and deploy the technology as fast as possible and ignore any consequences workers or society and civilization. The end goal being to produce an army of robot "slaves" to do the bidding of capitalists. Creating a class of 21st century slave owning plantations. A pretty dark vision for the future. I think it goes far beyond universal income. I'll speculate the party that seizes the high ground on the view that AI benefits and costs need to be managed and controlled and distributed equally for the good of all of society, not just wealthy tech moguls and their companies at the expense of everyone else will gain the upper hand winning a majority. Maybe as soon as 2026. My guess is the Democrats will embrace the issue as the Republicans a bit slow to catch on to the pulse of change going on here.

I'll stick with Prater.

This rant looks so bad now. He knew he effed up and tried to double down. Time for a change

Beanie will kick the can down the road some more and sign some backups to 8-10 mil dollar deals. This his motto the last 3 yrs and he won't change it. He's worse then the guy he always criticizes for bad management Whaley.

Then he'll fit right in.

Exactly. To me he lost the fanbase with this because it was either going to be he was right so people had to shutup OR it fails badly making him look like a fool while also hurting the team in the process. As a GM you get criticized 24/7, for this to be the way you handled it was pathetic and then ignore the WR spot the way he did until it was too late was criminal as the GM of the team. He can go this offseason.

He struggled the last year and a half.

I agree with you, but there isn't a lot of longevity for guys who aren't great pocket passers. At some point the velocity will dip, the legs won't take you as far, etc. and you need to be a great pocket passer to be a productive NFL starter well into your 30's. I was a proponent of the franchise pushing him in that direction so that we could enjoy a productive 36 year old Josh Allen on the Buffalo Bills. The inverse to me was sort of what we are seeing with Dart or Cam Newton. But as he approaches 30 I think you just have to let the guy play his game, and if the wheels fall off at 33 then they fall off. That said, whenever I have a spicy take guys generally seem to immediately do the opposite (see Dane Jackson circa 2023). I also thought the Sabres were really on to something when the missed the playoffs by a point.

The look on Josh Allens face after he drops back to pass and nobody is open a majority of the time says it all to me. It's like he knows and has all but gave up because he don't have the players needed to win consistently

My apologies to Tanner Gentry.

Then the lenses are bound to be pink...🤨

Im only half joking!

I agree with this point, it's always been a complaint of many people when doing an all-22 analysis. I think it's been magnified over the past year & a half due to Josh's evolution to eliminate INTs and avoid risk more often.

We lose this game, esp. if its "Miami ugly", do the wheels finally come off in the locker room? 100%, I get fans fantasize abouy Josh and his love for the game, love for Buffalo, but he is human and he had absolutely changed this offseason / year.

The loss to Miami gives us 2 division losses. Pats have none. That alone makes it highly unlikely we can win the division.

Trade whatever it takes, less Josh Allen, to get Shanahan from the 49ers. His second string still wins games.

My memory may be a little off, but this seems like a carbon copy of the situation two years ago that got Dorsey fired: A seriously flawed offensive system gets figured out by the rest of the league and runs into a wall. If we see something similar vs Tampa, I don’t expect Brady to survive it.

It's easy to mishandle an immature player. McDermott has done what most coaches would do: bench the player to send a message. Only it's not working. I'm not blaming McDermott as much as pointing out that he might have to try something different. Maybe nothing will work and, as you're implying, Coleman has to figure it out himself. But time is short. He might figure it out, and he might not. Hence my emphasis on McDermott's role. After all, isn't one of the key duties of a head coach to motivate his players? Coleman might be a hard case--the little prick in the back of the classroom--but the problem isn't unsolvable. The stakes are too high to NOT focus on what the coaches can do to salvage Coleman's career--and this season.

I'll double down and continue to say Josh is not a great pocket passer and the organization is trying to make him that. He's not Flacco or Brady back there. His magic is stepping up in the pocket, moving around, waiting for guys to break open and hitting them or taking off and running, burning the opponent that way.

This isn't a Miami week specific issue. He isn't just not throwing to the open guy, he is looking at guys who are open and just not throwing them the ball. His whole feel for the game is like half a beat off. I have seen him with 15+ yards of green grass in front of him only to chuck some last minute heave into double coverage that inevitibly falls incomplete instead of scampering out of bounds for 6 yards and leaving us with 3rd and 4 instead of 3rd and 10. It just has the feel of the 2018 season without the electricity. The comment about "mind somewhere else" seems to maybe fit. Fixable but concerning. I do think that he is slow to process compared to his QB 1a peers (ie Mahomes, Brady, Manning). His physicality and physiology bail him out. When he is sharp he is unstopabble, but we he is not it isn't pretty. Anyways, it is clear this team would be lucky to even have two wins right now if it weren't for Allen. But better QB play would also have us undefeated.

Maybe McDermott can hook him up with his new optometrist.
