It might be a revelation for the ages but maybe the defensive genius should devise a scheme and system that is both easy to learn and effective? Because I watch in complete amazement several games each and every week of the season as other team's defense has rookies and second year players making an impact. And I wonder why aren't we drafting players like this? Bigger, smarter, faster, more instictive, and better football players making plays.

I've been drained of any optimism that Beane is going to fill any roster holes after many seasons of failing to do it. In fact, I'm not sure that's the best approach to restocking the roster. I'd rather see them going BPA at whatever position that might be. Getting some playmakers and serious talent at any position will do more to raise the level of play on either offense and defense rather than reaching for need which has failed as evidenced by spending so much on the D line for no big improvements year after year or drafting the 7th best corner vs. for example the best center or safety. I think that's more how teams like the Eagles, Ravens, and Chiefs approach it.

It would be out of character for 17 to raise a stink and make demands but it's probably the only thing that would force some needed changes.

This is 100% overdue and necessary but I'd say there's a 10% chance of this happening because the owner has gone missing.

The coverage scheme is locate the nearest receiver and then attempt to position yourself as far away from the receiver as possible while remaining on the playing field.

This team is a result of the cumulative effect of many seasons of drafting at the back end of the round combined with poor choices and bad college player evaluation along with over paying players on second contracts that fail to play up to thelr pay grade. Add in hit and miss free agent moves and stubornly ignoring the WR postition in a passing league. Which leaves them with an MVP QB, a great RB, and not much else. Not much talent. That's just it. See for yourself. Pick the top 5 players at each position on both offense and defense out of all the players on all the teams and with the exception of Allen and Cook what Bills player is top 5 in the league at his position? Even top 10? This is all on the GM.

I think her adherence to the America First agenda has exposed Trump's betrayal of that movement and she simply can't support him further. Whatever her plans, his attacks on her expose him as a fool and weakling. I think this event marks the peak for Trump, not MTG. His agenda and actions are way off course from his pledges. Expect more defections. Chaos to follow.

I don't see a rebuild coming but a reload is needed. Beane has done a sub-average job with the draft and free agency and the effects are cumulative over several seasons. Those problems have allowed other teams, like NE and Denver drafting earlier and having cap room to pass the Bills in talent. Free agency has been hit and miss with cap constraints caused by resigning players that under-perforn to big contracts. I think this is the biggest problem. Signing average players you should move on from to big extensions. McDermott hit his ceiling a couple seasons ago. Some argue earlier. Ownership needs to make major moves that could lead to the needed changes. Most fear Pegula won't act. I'd add without Allen this is a 5 win NFL roster. That's how bad the front office is here. One gripe is they've been throwing almost all the resources at the defense for years and they still stink.

Making the playoffs would result in few to no major changes and allow them to use injuries as the excuse. Sure that's a factor but not the only one. But even missing the playoffs is no guarantee anything is going to change. This owner has no problem with losing as demonstrated by the Sabres pathetic record and play season after season. If he won't fire Adams he won't make any major moves like replacing Beane and McDermott. If they want they can blame the coordinators but they're handicapped by the players the GM brings in and the guardrails the HC puts around their schemes. It all boils down to Pegula's fear and hesitancy to make necessary changes. That's THE problem.

You ht on several of the variables that go into a sound decision. Term, interest rate, down payment, loan amount, along with the rate of inflation. For me the most important factor is the interest rate. Some car makers are offering 0% loans for example. In that case a longer term of 7 years could be the better choice because the entire payment amount goes to principal. And at an inflation rate of greater than 3% like we're experiencing along with the time value of money means by the time you get to year 7 the payment in real dollars is around 19% less (by my calculation of compounding a 3% inflation rate over 5 years) than at the start of the loan. And keeping the car loan-free for a number of years beyond that means no payments! The absolute worst way to finance anything is through credit cards. Nobody talks much about addressing this issue. With onerous loan-shark like rates of 22% the amount of dollars you pay to service the balance is obscene. If either political party wants to attack a major cost to Americans tackling the interest charges banks are allowed might be a good place to start. Generally, the most cash strapped consumers fall into this debt trap that isn't so easy to exit. For people that can pay the entire balance off every month its a way to use somebody else's money for a month.

TDS patients will claim these numbers are now fabricated since Trump fired the former head of the BLS and installed his "puppet" at the agency that will produce numbers he wants to be published. What they won't try to understand, because it will burst their illusion, is these numbers were always subject to fudging through features in the measurement like the birth/death model of small business creation and closure. Below is a link to information about the model and a lot of statistical gibberish. https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesbd.htm

This morning's BLS report on September jobs was 119K actual vs. an estimate of 50K. Unemployment at 4.4% vs. an estimate of 4.3%.

Its naive to believe that under Trump anything has changed about the US government's approach to the Saudi's. What may have changed is the public's perception of the arrangement. Because anything Trump does requires more inspection, criticism, and scrutiny. It doesn't matter that his predecessors have engaged in the exact same arrangement. The US, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, has supported the Saudi monarchy for over 60 years. Because of oil.

Would the Democrats consider it an illegal order if Trump directed American military forces to shoot American citizens that we're infected during a zombie apocalypse and transformed into the walking dead?

No. I saw the news of drought conditions in coffee growing areas of Brazil late last year then waited for a sale at the local Super Market and stocked up on about a 3 year supply. Sorry to say the blame for higher prices is weather not politics.
