    This was likely due to the high profile position that he had in the community. Not to mention the overall background of the event. Police likely wanted to make sure all their tees were crossed and eyes dotted.

    Yeah, I think you are right.  I see now there was a police chase involved and apparent self inflicted gunshot.  

     

    Terrible.  Very sad.

    Deaths of 24 yo due to unrecognized congenital defects are really uncommon. 
     

    most common causes of death in 24 yo males are

    suicide

    homocide

    drug OD

    MVA

     

    Agreed- but since at the time I wrote this there weren't any reports of MVA's, police reports of shootings / domestic incidents, the congenital defect came to mind.  Suicide is the other possibility too.

     

    Damn shame.  RIP

  3. Awful.

     

    I hate to speculate, but I will.  

     

    In absence of a police report / accident report, etc. perhaps this was some sort of congenital health issue / defect.  You hear about athletes at all levels, dying suddenly from previously unknown health issues.  

     

    Very sad.  Prayers to his family and friends, whatever the circumstances are.

    I agree - I also think/know Josh is slower this season. He doesn't have that acceleration and speed like he used to. It's noticeable.

     

    Also agree.  Why is this though?  Age?  Hopefully the rest of his physicality doesn't diminish as quickly as his short burst speed and escapeability seemingly has.

    Yesterday was a good start for the defense, aside from losing Oliver to injury again.

    Agreed, but we have some ground to make up, and a lot to prove on offense.  

     

    The fact that our passing O couldn't take it to Carolina's passing defense (bottom tier) wasn't encouraging.  And, despite the 31 point win, we didn't (and still haven't) played a complete game in all phases, all year.  

     

    KC will be a big test.  If we look good but lose, its not the end of the world because an experienced team like Buffalo as a WC, with Josh playing well, can still do well in the playoffs and go on a run (especially if we end the year healthy).  But if we look bad or disjointed next week, I'll have to recalibrate my 2025 expectations

  6. We are falling apart.

     

    Injuries, a tired scheme, lack of discipline, the only difference between us and the Dolphins is that we're starting from a better place. 

     

    Hopefully we come out if they bye with grit and determination, but I'm afraid things have gotten stale at OBD.

  7. Simply question.  Is it time to make our collective voices know via billboard campaigning?

     

    Personally, I don't think we are there at because I don't even know what the message would be yet.  But I could see an argument where it would up the collective pressure McBeane andaube something good would come of it.  Like after that 9/11 hit piece against McDermott... Maybe the team would rally.

     

    I'm at a loss and very crestfallen.  Feels like this year will at best end up as a wildcard loss.  Feels like we peaked.

    I'm kinda getting the feeling Coleman isn't totally bought in on the everybody eats thing and it might be affecting his attitude

    Something is rotten in the locker room, we all know what it is. 

     Maybe these two things are linked.

     

    But I also think that with how bad we look, it has to be more that just Coleman.

     

    No focus. Stupid penalties.  We just look listless

    Hot take...

    The Bills D was better when Bernard went out...

    I think we started playing more man coverage

    Cook only had 1 touch in the 4th quarter… someone should answer to that

    Agree.  Inexcusable especially on that 4th down stop/fumble.  Cook should have been the guy. Not a craptastic WR.

    And a Josh Allen problem. This isn't all on him, but he's bottoming out and exposing what a mess we have elsewhere without a QB playing at MVP level on the roster.

    He looks off.  Where has his escapablity gone?  He's not the same player as last year, but the least of all our problems.

    Because Walker stepped up. Best player on the defense tonight.

    Why was Allen frustrated all night?  Bad play calling?  Lack of talent?  Tired of game put on his shoulders?  Tired of eating turf?

    Check, check, check and check.  He needs to have a come to Jesus moment with Beane, McDermott and Pegula

    Major would be an understatement.

    He is throwing the ball to SHAVERS, PALMER, MOORE, COLEMAN, and Shakir....I mean this GM has FAILED him at every level since Diggs

    Leave Shakir out of this!!!!!

    Him and Milano need to be done as our starting linebackers. Thompson better than both, easily right now 

    I never liked the one year prove it deal.  I knew he couldn't stay on the field

    Again I agree to a point here.   Brady’s choice to not continue to feature Cook and those absolutely horrendous sideways play calls on short yardage got to have it is unforgivable.   
     

     

    I think he thinks he's playing Madden.  Remember that trick play against Baltimore last year?  What the hell is wrong with giving it to your best player besides Allen?

    It's the NFL, so you don't take anyone lightly. But we're playing a team that is currently in 3rd place in their division behind the Bucs & Panthers, and will probably be fighting for a WC spot in late December (if all goes well for them).

     

    If we're not able to beat a team like that after the kind of loss we had, we're likely not nearly as much of a contender as many here & elsewhere think we are.  

     

    I happen to think we ARE that team, and will be playing in the SB.  I think we're giving Atlanta proper respect, but let's not overhype their chances tonight.  I believe they only win if we do a repeat of last week and lose the turnover battle, mixed in w/ some lopsided officiating.  

     

     

     

     

    I agree to an extent, but this team has a fatal flaw which has been apparent for some time, and getting worse the past two years.... That is, our defense isn't good.

     

    Our secondary is in shambles, and our LBs are always injured or underperforming.  Let's hope the reinforcements that come after this game help improve the pass rush, which will help mask our secondary weaknesses.  Also, Benford has been playing like crap, but that should normalize at some point - at leased based on what is a pretty large sample size.  I'm not too concerned about him.

    Everything I’ve seen suggests he’d be a beast at beer pong. 

    I prefer Beirut (beer pong but with quarters instead of pingpong balls).  I also heard he was good at chopping down trees with an axe with the blade guard still on!

    Likely going to keep the house in Dunkirk (currently living in St George Utah) as a home base in the states.  
     

    we’re still in the planning/research phase.  We’re going to SE Asia for approx 6 months.  Likely 3 months in Thailand (Bangkok, Hua Hinn and Pattaya one month each), 1 month in DaNang Vietnam, 1 month in Canggu, Bali and 1 month in Malaysia, likely Langkawi and George Town.  
     

    Then head back to the states for a few months before going to Italy for 6 months.  Looking into cefalu, Tropeo, the amalfi coast and around Puglia.  Back to states for a bit then eastern Mexico (if it seems safe at the time) and Costa Rica.  Hopefully we’ll have some favorite cities by then  and will travel between them for 6 months to a year at a time.  
     

    my wife and I (51 and 46) don’t have children and are in a solid spot financially.  We’ve been taking care of my mother for the last 3 years and it’s really made vacations and getting out to see the world difficult.  So we decided to see it all when we are able.  That’s the plan anyway

     

    Good for you.  The world has so much to offer.  The US is is becoming a scary place, and I say that as a combat veteran.

     

    My dad went through a very serious health scare earlier this year.  It was tough and go for a while and even he was out of the danger area, it was a lot of work and stress for my wife and I (both 40s, no kids).  I'm sure you're looking forward to a break!  We were and our issue was only 4 months- not 3 years!

     

    Good luck

  13. I think this will be a difficult game for us.  The Bills are winning by low double digits but something overall just seems slightly off.  In previous years, this team would have stacked more points and put the game away earlier.  I hope I'm wrong, but I think this is our first loss of the year. If so, I expect it galvanizes the team we we end the season with 2 more losses total and secure the #1 seed.  The talent is there, I just think we need to stop being sloppy and put it all together for 60 minutes

    The first down run turf burn slide, when he picks up the ball and "tosses" it to the ref, intentional "incoming" given the officiating that afternoon? ...or accidentally launched it at a guy not expecting it?

     

    Honest question: how do you get turf burn on your leg and @$$ if you have pants covering skin?

    Why the hell are professional football teams using the same signals for multiple games?   

    I suppose because it would be a lot of work to change signals or have multiple groups of signals that can be changed out.  

     

    I suspect it also increases the risk of error significantly.  There are many very intelligent players in the game. But if we're being honest plenty more that tend towards the opposite side of the intelligence spectrum.  Having players memorize different signal systems from week to week or month to month would be a lot of work and if players can't seemlessly from one set of signals to another, the reward doesn't outweigh the risk.  You can't have most your online men pulling one way and one pulling the other.
