  1. Past hour
  2. He was talking about unprecedented complaints about the DOJ and the work they do. I'm guessing here he was talking about AG Barr, the Mueller report, and the criticism Barr got for describing the political persecution of DJT?
  3. It’s because in football, alligator arms is already used for the TJ Grahams of the world who have to snap their arms like the jaws of an alligator to catch.
  4. BLM and you have something in common, both complete jokes!
  5. Smart of them to invite him then. "Tyler Bass and Scott Norwood should be annexed to Siberia for the rest of their life. Anyways, Happy Graduation and may all your dreams come true."
  6. The difference between Aiyuk and Sander is far greater than the difference between Purdy and Garropolo, imo. I don’t think Jimmy G - Purdy is the driving force between the difference in yards and TD’s.
  7. Then why is alligator arms not short hand for short armed receivers? His arms are short. Like an alligators. He is alligator armed. That's it.
  8. Furin cleavage site in the receptor binding domain of the spike protein. "Expert" commies can collectively shove it up their proximal origin asses.
  9. Indeed. Hence, the overwhelming amounts of self-hate.
  10. No, the obvious point is that most teams carry 6 WR on the active roster. If you lose two of those WR to injury (the second past the trade deadline), you have to make additions to the receiving room from somewhere. If your PS WR are too good, they're going to be poached or claimed if they're elevated and waived (as happened with Hopkins). If you'd like to make the argument that 2 PS guys on our or any other roster were gonna contribute more than Brown and Beasley off the coach, Have At It.
  11. So it was created in a lab from where it escaped. Whoda predicted that?
  12. It would be great to get Josh as many high-end targets as possible, but there is a little thing called team building. First of all, safety was at least as important a position to fill as WR. As we have seen with Poyer and Hyde over the last seven years, it is a very important position in McD's defense, as far as quarterbacking the defense and disguising their defense. Also, we aren't a traditional strong and free safety position team. The safeties (much like the LBs) need to be interchangeable. So, not every safety will fit in the system. You need a specific type of player. And before the draft, Damar Hamlin was our #1 backup. Then, as others have said, trying to get three young guys up to speed and/or determine which of them is the best, who should get the most reps, playing time, etc. would be a logistical nightmare. Not to mention the possible frustration of the guys who aren't getting as many reps or playing time. And it would make it harder for them to build chemistry with Josh both on and off the field. Building relationships and rapport with three new guys at the same time, who will each be getting limited reps would be tougher. Then there is the best case scenario of, ok, what if they all become good. Maybe you can trade one early on in their career or something (and hope to get back that 2nd or 3rd round pick for a guy that you haven't really had the reps to showcase most likely), but if you hold on to them all, then you are having to decide on 5th year options and whether to give them a second contract or not all at the same time (and/or lose and replace some or all of them at the same time). And while you have them, how often will all three of them be on the field at the same time? Do you need to change the offense to accomodate? Or if one of the three isn't on the field much, then that is a high draft pick for a backup. Then there is the thought of, what if it takes all of them 2-3 years to acclimate and play well. Are you really holding 3 WR spots on the roster for developing players? Who are you putting on the field in the meantime if they are taking up three roster spots. And being guys with a lot of potential and having been drafted in rounds 1-4, good luck keeping them on the practice squad, you almost have to keep them on the 53. Can the guys you drafted at least play special teams until they are up-to-speed as a WR? Or did they not do that in college, are unwilling/reluctant to do that at the pro level. I feel like I could go on and on and I didn't even mention depth and money allocation. What position are you sacrificing depth at? It appears you were fine sacrificing depth at safety and DT, but do we really want another year of your Tim Settles, Poona Fords, and Damar Hamlins having to play significant time at those positions? We didn't have a lot of cap space to sign a lot of above-average free agents---having to fit in another safety and DT FA contract, for example, might have been tough ( if you want a good enough player). By mid-season, Carter could possibly be playing 30-40% of the snaps at DT and Bishop may be starting at safety. To find that production in free agency would have cost. There is just so much more that goes into the thinking behind team building than just get Josh as many weapons as possible. You have to ask at what cost and/or what are the odds and possible outcomes of each gamble. Now you mentioned Cincinnati. Sure, you could suggest that as an option for Beane...he should grab one WR in the first two rounds every year and churn through them. I'm not sure the long-term effects on the rest of the team with that philosophy to say whether it works or not over the long haul...but the Bills drafting three WRs with their first three picks this year would not be good team building, imo, regardless of the players drafted. I kind of agree with GunnerBill in that the best option would have been drafting and grooming a higher draft pick WR behind Diggs and Davis the last year or two (not 6th and 7th rounders). Granted, before the 2023 draft, maybe they didn't expect the level of Diggs' discontent and/or his slowing down and expected to still have him this season, with Coleman being drafted as the Davis replacement. So, maybe they thought they had another year to replace Diggs initially (so I can give them a bit of a pass there). But, ultimately, you would hope that you are drafting and grooming future starters behind your current starters at as many positions as possible...and that really hasn't been the case for Beane when it comes to WR. But, I'm not as down as some on the current make-up of the WR room (when including the TEs in that thought). I think the guys we got can get it done with Josh at the helm. No one may have Diggs-like numbers, but the sum of the parts may actually be better than how things played out last year. I guess we just have to wait and see.
  13. If I am Tua I am holding out for sure. This is his best chance to get paid and the Phins don't have any other options right now. If Phins start over they are likely 3 years from being good and Hill will be cooked by then.
  14. Don't put words in my mouth. My "initial metric" has been 900 since I brought the point up weeks ago. It's not a "now" thing........when I looked it up there were just a few outlier seasons with guys like Matthews and Williams who barely fell under 1,000. Claypool and MVS have been added since and still not cleared that very low bar. Did I need to make the bar 996 yards? No, because nobody they have has even got to 900. OBVIOUSLY with guys like Reed, Lofton, Brooks, Early, Moulds, Price, Evans, Stevie Johnson, Watkins, Benjamin, Brown, Diggs and Sanders they have almost always started a season with someone with over 1,000 since the league went to 16 games. More often than not, TWO. You understand that, right? As for your 2018 question........who cares? Is that brutal offense supposed to be some sort of bar? That squad was going nowhere with a rookie QB and ultimately scored the fewest amount of points any NFL team thru the first 8 games of an NFL season since the merger. (Which when brought up by the media McDermott said "would we like to score 50 points every game? Sure. ) What matters now is that the Bills WR corps stacks up as a bottom 1/3 of the league in a year where they are a SB contender. Why is that? Because of what they lack up top. Which is part and parcel to my point.
  15. Who make up probably less than 1% of the population. They should feel free to make a speech "attacking" kickers imo.
  16. LOL! I swear these clowns just hear "BLM" and that excuses them for everything, including what led to them getting killed.
  17. Seems like you're conflating the quote and tweet in that post: Don Van Natta Jr is an ESPN writer, not Scheffler's lawyer, so his only strategy is getting clicks/likes/reposts. As an online commentator similarly disconnected from any legal ramifications, I concur that Detective Gillis sounds like he was a big mad baby this morning and probably ruined those pants by wetting them.
