This falls on Beane and the FO. But why does our depth suck? Is the payroll "top heavy" which results in not being able to pay for better depth players? Is it bad drafting, picking the wrong players, reaching for need? Is it bad free agent acquisitions, targeting the wrong players? Is it over-paying by re-signing players on the roster where few to any of them are outperforming their pay level? Is it just the injuries and the way it goes with the salary cap system in the NFL when you have a lot of key players hurt? All the above and this roster is just poorly constructed?

Its a drastic move to fire Dorsey in-season and a panic move but why wait? Will that be seen as a panic move? Maybe, but it is time to panic.

If it wasn't mentioned before I want to point out Taylor made a stupid 2nd half challenge too. Challenging the spot on one of those Allen QB sneak pile of players where its almost impossible to see where the ball ended up. It was pretty obvious the play would stand as called. And the Bengal blew their other 2 time outs avoiding delay of game calls as the clock was running low. Nobody's going to question the Bengals HC or their misuse of time outs because at the end of the day results matter and everyone picks apart the execution and game calls from that perspective.

When asked post game about the offensive performance Allen's comment was something to the effect "I'm just running the plays they call". That's saying its not the players fault and quite an indictment of the OC.

The challenge isn't worth the risk. Even if its by chance overturned. They need those 3 timeouts to stop the clock after they score. Lose the challenge and you only have 2 TOs. Just dumb

I picked it up too as McD rarely does anything unexpected or a surprise.

"Peace sells but who's buying" The powers in control don't want peace. Peace means everyone making consessions and change. The far right Isreali government and the ultra-orthodox Jews running it don't want peace. They want obedience from the Palestinians stuck in their open air prision. They want to continue expelling Arabs from their homes in the West Bank to build more settlements occupied mostly by religious right "settlers". Hamas doesn't want peace. They want to destroy Isreal and peace means Hamas is no longer necessary. Hezbollah, the de facto government of Lebonon, doesn't want peace. Peace means they're no longer relevant. The other Arab states in the region don't want peace through a semi-democratic Gaza showcasing the practice to their subjects living under the rule of dictators and religious figures. Iran doesn't want peace. They also want to destroy Isreal and exert their influence over the region. While peace would serve the interests of the common person in the region, there's little to no benefit from it for the folks in charge. But that's how it always is everywhere.

Anyone thinking Trump's supporters want a dictatorship is stupid. They just saw Democrats cheat in 2020 by abusing the mail-in ballot process that was conveniently used and abused during COVID. Then watched people responsible for enforcing the rules and the courts allow them to get away with it. And they're pissed off. They're not anti-government or looking to overthrow anything. They just want the douche bags running things gone because they suck. And suck they do. That's it.

They should all be fired for gross negligence and arresting for providing aid and assistance to our enemies by allowing them to enter the country unencumbered by border security or any proper screening.

Biden is doing something. He's making a deal with Venezuela for more oil and easing financial restrictions on that "brutal dictatorship" which concerns you so but apparently bothers our current President and his administration not one bit. Did you miss that? An alternative strategy to meet our needs would have been to get additional oil supplies from Canada. Of course immediately killing Keystone after the inauguration makes that option difficult. And now with the completion of construction of additional capacity on the Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta to Vancouver in 2024 most of that oil is destined for Asia. Stupid political decisions do have real life consequence after all.

Not really that long. The concept of Sanctuary Cities is pretty recent when local governments started refusing to assist and support Federal Immigration enforcement officers with arresting and deporting illegals. Now its transformed into a wide safety net of taxpayer provided services and support. The problem is the sheer volume of people streaming across the border has overwhelmed even the most generous cities. And generally with the Biden administration refusing to enforce any immigration laws, the designation is a moot point where sanctuary has been replaced by social services support. Also, the idea that these 8 million people meet the necessary criteria for Asylum status is dubious. Its just a procedural ploy to get into the country. Everyone is given a hearing date, released on their own recognizance, and required to show up at the hearing to state their case for asylum, with the court ruling yes or no on their qualifying for that status. Of course, almost nobody is going to show for the hearing and Federal immigration officials under Biden have absolutely no intention of taking any enforcement action against anyone much less deport them for not showing up. Its simply a very well orchestrated scam. And the "great" news is there's more on the way!

I'd say that's true in a theocratic regime but there are other forms of authoritarian regimes that conversely outlaw religion. Simply because they believe The State is the ultimate power and this by definition prohibits any belief in or worship of a superior being or God residing above The State.

Generally, history is written by the winner and the majority of what we know about times past is from that perspective. But what you say is true. Men wrote these tales. Men wrote all these religious documents and books too. Including the verses and sections that tell people to kill people outside of their faith. That should give the creative thinker an idea of what's really going on with the religion hustle. Control I conclude. I've always been skeptical of people that use some spiritual belief as an excuse to justify murder. Or go along with the idea. The way I look at it is if some all-powerful, omnipotent God, creator of all things, wants to "kill" some person or group of persons then do it yourself. Nobody's going to stop you. And leave me out of it. I've got no gripe with anybody along with having enough problems of my own already. And while I'm at it, I'd ask God if "he" didn't want any non-believers then why did you put them here in the first place? The religious zealot will say its a test of their faith. But faith in what? A God that wants you to kill others? That's not sounding like a message of love and peace and eternal life.

What makes them buddies? Are they meeting for wings and beers at Duffs before the Sabres game tonight? Reality is, US policy towards Russia doesn't fundamentally change no matter the President so Putin could care less who's in the WH. But keeping the illusion of some relationship is essential progressive folklore.

Read this sentence earlier today which sums up nicely the Israeli aid mystery. Mainly why do US taxpayers have to provide any funding to a wealthy and prosperous country to fight a war? "Israel, with GDP of almost half a trillion dollars and a debt-to-GDP ratio that is half of that of the United States, and a super-advanced military, still somehow needs $14.3 billion from US taxpayers in order to continue its extensive bombing campaign throughout Gaza following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack". Add in lucrative revenue streams from Mediterranean NatGas fields and they've got plenty of their own cash.

I assume the kid was dressed like the Orange Menace and yelled Trick or Treat, Make American Great Again! He was later picked up for questioning by the Secret Service under suspicion of being an juvenile extremist.

As long as you guys believe Democracy is defined as a condition where the majority is entitled to have their way on everything against the minority then we're doomed. Our system has lots of checks and balances against such abuses. And while this is painful, its one of them based on the rules of Congress. The administration has a choice here. Be stubborn and stick to their position or negotiate and modify their position.

Good question.

I'm beginning to come around to the idea that the domestic policy differences are simply intended to keep us all guessing and bickering while the armored car quietly pulls away from the back door loaded with cash and tax receipts. Most interesting to me is if you study how the dollar reserve and trade settlement system functions and what magical powers it provides the US government along with how the Treasury and Federal Reserve operate you can't come away as nothing but impressed and amazed at how this racket operates to the advantage of the people in on the hustle at the ground floor. The rest of use, not so much. We get inflation through price increases or hidden inflation through a loss of purchasing power of the dollars we hold and earn. Which eventually leads to a lower standard of living. This racket isn't a Republican or Democrat thing, or a liberal or conservative thing, or some left or right thing. Its the business of running the world from behind the curtain with our elected government fronting the operation while pretending to represent the interests of American citizens and occasionally doing so just to keep up the illusion.

Celebrating the culture of the dead and ghosts. Not to worry. With Biden's leadership many of us will be joining them very shortly.

Maybe you're some type of wealthy aristocrat sent by the upper class to PPP to share your wisdom to the masses but I sadly wish to inform you that we are the little guys!

Easily explainable not because of some moral sense of right or a sudden awareness of the need for law and order but because her personal interests are threatened since not acting could potentially impact a very large voting block she needs in NY.

Good. The idea all those new IRS folks will be solely assigned to audit high earners was a lie told in order to assist in passage of the legislation. Those new IRS agents will be auditing middle and lower income people. Bank on it.

Me too. I'm curious why the Bills didn't jump into the Leonard Williams deal considering the teams connection to the current Giants GM/HC combo. That move could have put us back on track for this season.

Our open southern border is an emergency. But apparently not on the administration's priority list.
