  1. Walker is the guy this year who can really help this defense. The coaches need to lean into him a bit and do anything they can to try and accelerate his development during the season. Totally agree about the splash potential and tolerating some of his run game deficiencies his rookie season
  2. I would say he's trying to get somebody to really step up and go after the position and let it be known it's very much in the air. I think it's a message to not only Bishop but all the other safeties besides Rapp.
  3. I think one big factor is Buffalo's weather reputation. You can put a dome in, but who wants to schedule a winter event when there's a real risk of no one being able to get there or get out through feet of snow? Syracuse gets more snow but Buffalo and snow are more ingrained in the national psyche. I do think if they had built downtown or closer to the Falls it would have been a dome, optimally by the Falls. A lot easier to sell an event there, especially with Toronto closer. Ok, l appreciate your perspective. 👍 Haslam is putting in an entire community there. Condos/apartments and retail. Part of why he left the lakefront, I suspect.
  4. Model was violating the terms of his lease, which had three years left. So, no he shouldn't have been allowed. But, Model, the city, and the NFL negotiated the arrangement, plus an 11 mill payment to the city. Having lived in Cleveland since the late 80's, the city was a disaster until about the mid 90's. The sin tax approval in 1990 culminating with completion of the baseball and basketball complex really turned the tide as everyone realized sometimes you have to invest in your future. Mayor Mike White finally stepping aside in 2002 was the last vestige of old Cleveland.
  5. True, and let's give credit. McD has figured out to not let Mahomes have the ball last. Also not to try and play ultra conservative prevent D late in the game. What McD needs to figure out how to do is throw situational wrinkles into the defense that empowers our playmakers and with Beane make sure we actually have enough playmaker talent on D. Spagnulo called that 4th down blitz late in the game last year that Josh Allen admitted they weren't expecting and had never seen before. It made just enough of a difference. One very situational call. Nobody ever says that about Buffalo's defensive calls. WRT injuries, they happen to every team. Out of all our playoff runs, I think only 2023 was the year where any real Bills fan knew the injuries were so profound it would catch up to us before the Super Bowl.
  6. Holy white-washing batman!
  7. Yeah, after football him and Bosa should team up as contractors that attend and suck every ounce of energy from a party for revenge-minded folks.
  8. That might be it. "Mike Webster" was well beyond my feeble abilities to turn into a D joke.
  9. Thanks for helping us stupid people, how does the next greatest player to wear 52 play in?
  10. Unfortunately there is a black and white mentality with McD and the FO. Firing is not the only option. McD changed his approach to offense (less conservative) over the years, it's time he needs to do so to the defense, and quickly. Beane can't seem to draft game-changing DL, but he's done a great job bringing in talent in other areas (QB**,OL, RB, DB). He needs to consider how he can draft better DL talent (new scouts)? Perspective: At the end of Kelly's seventh year with the Bills, we had just lost our fourth Super Bowl in a row. Josh turns 30 next May. With his passion for the game, he should be at or near the top for at least the next 2-3 years, it would seem reasonable he can be highly effective until age 35. That's 6 more seasons. Most likely we lose Josh for at least one of those to serious injury. So 5 more. We're running out of time. Continuous improvement has hit a pothole in our FO, do they understand the urgency? If they do, great! Definitely don't want to change them. But I have no confidence that McD will be willing to change his defensive sacred cow and do the little things to pull out all the stops to beat the playoff teams. What little things? Bringing Micah Hyde in earlier to accelerate Cole's development. Finding an Ernie Adams to help him stay on top of in-game decisions and/or tweak his defensive system. Poaching an up and coming D-line scout from somebody like Philly. I'm very happy with the quality of culture we have, but I feel like after 7 years game day is not working when it counts and as fans we need to push them a bit to take a harder look at adjusting some of the finer points instead of just hoping enough talent magically clicks one of these years.
  11. I've got my fingers crossed he's learned some lessons from last year. But allowing Mahomes to run that sweep right on critical downs in the playoffs with no adjustment? Given how much we play KC, it's simply poor coaching mentality. Over 8 years in and he over-relies on his vaunted defensive system and it fails him in the playoffs against the top talent and coaching. How long do we wait for him to realize his defense and defensive decision making is good enough for the regular season but not the playoffs? It's gone on long enough that you can't blame the players for every failed year. I really don't want to see Josh Allen get Dan Marino-ed.
  12. I can't understand why Dak threw it there, Elam just had outside position on the receiver and it's like Dak didn't see him. Dak shouldn't have made the throw or instead put it on the receiver's back shoulder. Good luck Dallas!
  13. Elam's problem on the game field was always from the neck up, not his undeniable physical talent. I wish him nothing but the best, hopefully Dallas's scheme can minimize his shortcomings.
  14. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ice-secretly-deported-pennsylvania-grandfather-82-after-he-lost-his-green-card/ar-AA1IUQdV?cvid=25b056f27f3c4e779842bef428ac878a&ocid=hpmsn "Relatives last saw Luis Leon, who lives in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on June 20, when he and his wife visited the Philadelphia immigration office to replace his lost green card, The Morning Call first reported. There, officers handcuffed him and took him away without explanation, relatives told the outlet Leon was granted political asylum in 1987 after surviving Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet’s regime, the outlet reported. He has a clean record — and hasn’t even been given so much as a parking ticket, the family claimed. He’s not alone, figures from the data distribution organization Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse show. As of this week, there are more than 56,800 people in ICE detention; 72 percent of them have no criminal convictions." Well done, ICEholes. Quotas!
