All_Pro_Bills

Your obsession with Trump and reflexively concluding all issues and arguments ultimately lead to the man is troubling. It might be a serious problem. I'm imagining you have a room in your home with poster boards and pictures pinned and taped all over the walls with pictures of Trump and his "co-conspirators" from various ventures and events. Charts with lines drawn between names and faces. Events all plotted out with the text of quotes and tweets scattered among the various "conspiracy" walls. Boxes of printed documents and NYT and WP news stories stacked on the floor. But at some point leaving it behind and returning to living in the real world is the best approach to life.

For example, when the Bills drafted Edmunds I saw a guy with speed and size and potential and envisioned him playing a couple years after his draft season with a few off seasons of workouts and conditioning to add a lot of muscle mass and strength turning him into a dominant force as a 'superhuman' unstoppable monster MLB. But that hasn't happened. And when I see other teams play, like the Ravens and Steelers, their offensive and defensive lineman and linebackers just look a lot bigger and stronger than the Bills. Are these other teams hitting the weight room and the lunch line harder than the Bills are here to add size, strength, and weight? You look at this year's first 4 picks for example and you can't say any of these guys are small. So what's going on?

1,000 to 1 odds that by the end of the day the liars and cheats in the media will be blaming Trump for last night's incident because he's created a toxic social and political environment that is triggering people to commit acts of violence. And all their minions will pick up the narrative. After thinking it over I conclude its their only play to make here.

Take action to eliminate and minimize penalties. Pre-snaps, personal fouls, unsportsmanlike. All the dumb stuff. I get the calls for being aggressive or trying to make a play or a block. But so far. Steelers - Bills commit 8 for 81 Dolphins - Bills commit 6 for 53 WFT - Bills commit 5 for 30 Texans - Bills commit 3 for 30 Chiefs - Bills commit 10 for 103 and still win as the Chiefs made more mistakes than the Bills Titans - Bills commit 8 for 60 Dolphins - Bills commit 9 for 80 Jaguars - Bills commit 12 for 118 Jets - Bills commit 7 for 50 Colts - Bills commit 7 for 56 Not to include what was called and declined. How many of those were drive killers or led to turnovers? How many gave the other team's offense a break to continue a scoring drive? Tell me the Bills lose that Jaguars game without all those penalties.

I think he's arguing that a guy running over grandmothers at a holiday parade is the same thing as a white guy who was found not guilty of any crimes for defending himself against other white people attacking him. That's what ideological zealots do. But give him credit as he does know about "executive time"

Well, at least the title of the topic is finally true. And I'm sure the exact same cast of characters that immediately went right to white supremacy and race in the case of Rittenhouse (even our illustrious President expressed such foolish notions prior to one of his 4 hour afternoon naps) will instead preach from the pulpit that we need to gather all the facts about the situation before jumping to conclusions. And then engage in the victim and excuse generation machine because as information available is the perp is not a member of the targeted "white supremacist" group. I expect they'll be drawn and quartered in the court of public opinion for taking the victim approach but that is their game. I await to see if human garbage running the likes of MSNBC will have hard-core racist host Joy Reid along with Sharpton, and the CRT crowd on the tube explaining the justifications for killing grandmothers at a holiday parade. Falling on your own sword comes to mind.

Nothing annoys me more than the traditional conservative mindset fighting the war against the extreme left under rules of engagement that no longer apply to the political and social battlefield. Thinking that polite and cordial exchange of ideas and an insistence of sticking to traditional principals is not a strategy for effective engagement with a belligerent opposition intent on imposing their ideology without regard to any sort of rules. You can't politely reason with people intent on getting their way without the need or desire to compromise on anything. An extreme left that views things like the rules of law as no constraint on their behavior. The end justified all means necessary. The fact that much of the conservative element still relies on the traditional approach to engagement or just ignores the trouble the left is causing is the sole reason the activists on the extreme left never attack them. These fools on the right are simply no threat. As long as they persist in their passive approach that generates no threat to the left's active aggression. Its like the "gentleman" nobility of 18th century Europe fighting wars under strategies and tactics used for 100's of years when swords and shields were all the craze who didn't adjust their thinking when muskets, pistols, cannon, and rifles started to dominate the battlefield which rendered their approach obsolete. So is the traditional conservative mindset and approach obsolete today. Guys like Mitt Romney don't worry the left at all. In fact in his case he was dumb enough to go along with the Democrats on the impeachment of the President of his own party over political "crimes". He and the other no-action conservatives might as well officially join with today's left and end their charade.

I worry if it proves to be politically motivated some may view it as an attack that signals "open season" on leftists...

So far MSM have not yet been informed if the driver was White, a White Hispanic, a White Middle Easterner, or a White African American. But people listening to police scanners are saying the actual description of the driver is none of the above. Nothing official yet.

I have a hard time thinking Bates isn't worth a shot at RG with Brown out. Or keep Williams at RG and move somebody into the RT spot off the bench. What gives me optimism is we have our franchise QB but he needs a little more help as these areas being pointed out here need to be addressed. So we should be right there and remain competitive for the next 10 years or so. But right now as built this team has some glaring holes that good teams will exploit.

I think your point is valid. This isn't like hockey where you can roll 3 or 4 "good" evenly balanced lines throughout the course of the game and create some mis-matches with line changes or combinations to be successful. Maybe a couple of the younger guys on the line develop into a difference maker but right now there's no player in the rotation the offense is going to game plan around and account for on every play. Maybe you need an elite/pro bowl type impact guy or two instead. As this works pretty well by observation from around the league. The current approach while keeping guys fresh might be a mistake from a cap and roster building view. It didn't seem to worry or slow down the Colts today. Or the Titans for that matter or any other opponent with a good offensive line and a competent QB. Play the best 4 players and give them a breather but dump the averaging out playing time approach.

Tomorrow AG Garland will open an investigation which will clearly determine that White Supremist's are responsible regardless of the identity of the suspects arrested. And as result recommend tighter gun control laws. But my suspicion is the perpetrators are among members of one group of victims or another doing some early holiday looting, looking to lesson the effects of inflation (by getting free stuff), and getting a jump on reparation payments. 3 looters were arrested. And will be out without charges or bail. The good news is that with every passing demonstration of civil lawlessness and a lack of response by Democratic officials their chances of maintaining a majority in Congress post-November 2022 fades further into oblivion. It goes without saying the MSM will ignore this event, their specialty, while social media platforms block or remove references to "California+flash mobs+looting".

Taylor having a great game for the Colts but my gut says it could be just about any NFL RB shredding the Bills defense today. Unless there's some big improvements and adjustments in 4 days my thinking for Thursday is to eat early in order to avoid indigestion and nausea watching the late game.

Against better competition the Bills consistently lose the battle on the LOS on offensive and defense. This defense just can't stop the run. Given the investment in an 8-9 player rotation that isn't acceptable. Allen is falling back on careless habits. The RBs are average. And way too many penalties in all 3 phases. Add it all up and you get games like this one. The schedule down the stretch looks troublesome. While I'm typing Josh with another careless pass and intercepted. Game over!

They just can't stop lying. And the fanatical base eats it up. Only to be disappointed when nothing happens. The situation comedy continues.

You'd think that after going 0-fer on every one of these left wing conspiracy theories and taking the wrong side of the facts at every turn some of our left-leaning friends here might want to objectively assess their views and conclusions. The first step might be to accept the fact that most of these activists, media members, and politicians they worship are malicious liars. When the 1/6 committee it will again leave the faithful unsatisfied.

We've had a slightly different view of the Biden administration's performance to date. With my assessment being complete incompetence and your view as complete competence in working to screw things up. The blogger at the link below makes a compelling argument in support of your view. His characterization is they're a gang of malicious scammers and liars. https://tomluongo.me/2021/11/19/bidens-incompetent-presidency-a-feature-not-a-bug/

I'm certain the entire social justice movement noticed with horror and shock that the Turkey President Biden pardoned in keeping with White House Thanksgiving tradition was White. So now the fight against White Privilege needs to target privilege and oppression in the poultry flock.

Utterly ridiculous. What other nonsense is she going to tell us next? That a man is a woman simply by thinking he is a woman despite biological traits proving that belief false. Or all White people are inherently racist except of course those who repent and become woke. Or Russians are living next door to you plotting to influence the next election. Or unarmed protesters planned to take control of the Federal government. Or self-defense is a crime along with "crossing state lines". Or an incident where all people were White was incited by racism. Or some other absurdities. I mean come on, who believes this stuff?

A core tenant of Communism is the means of production and property are owned by the people and controlled by the government. Anyone claiming to be a Communist must believe this or else they're falsely claiming to be a Communist.

As I satirically suggested about 80 pages ago on this thread on the 1/6 plan, the best contingency is to make sure all of your attacking forces are unarmed without any preparation or idea of what the "plan" is to take control. Make sure most of them are wandering around aimlessly, taking pictures and selfies. This will throw off the token force the Capitol Police deployed. You clearly have hidden the fact that thousands will show up that day. How else can you explain why they had a normal contingent on hand that day and not a force on hand that could handle the number of protesters that showed up? Maybe the government's plan was better than yours and something like Sitting Bull's plan was better than Custer's at the Little Big Horn when the Sioux lured the Calvary troops into a trap? Hide all documented copies of the plan in one of your backyards in a place the FBI will not think about looking like under the doghouse. So far its working because nobody has found any document detailing the plan for that day yet despite the press insisting there is some kind of high level plan here drawn up by high ranking former administration people and their cronies. Remember you have the element of surprise in your favor when you attack a government entity that has an overwhelming superiority in forces, tactics, and weaponry. Your success depends on the enemy believing nobody would be stupid enough to attempt an insurrection under those circumstances. The element of surprise is your best friend here. And make sure not to kill or injure any of people you are targeting. Don't do anything remotely close to what anarchists such as Antifa might do such as start the building on fire. This is just to stereotypical of an act for insurrections. Try to be original. And if politely asked to leave please do so immediately. Make sure to do everything that is counterintuitive to success. Failure is your goal. Again your goal is not to succeed. Realize that the only thing you'll accomplish is to give your political enemies an excuse to persecute you. Maybe that's why they left the place unguarded and engineered the whole thing? That I believe sums up the 1/6 "insurrection" plan.

Leftist intellectual commies don't believe in private property rights so this question would be confusing to them and they would be unable to follow your thinking. They'd think the scenario is impossible given the society they desire. And the situation is purely hypothetical.

Yes i did misunderstand it. It appears to be commentary/satire on woke logic. My bad. But I'm good with the rest of what i said..

What's missing from the woke "history agenda" these clowns push is a complete rendering of the history of the slave trade in West Africa and the American colonial market for slavery. They just key in on part of the story. The part they want to tell. The part that supports their beliefs. And exclude what doesn't. Slavery didn't start in 1619 or when Europeans arrived on the scene in West Africa. There were other parties complicit in the slave trade. If you're going to teach history then that needs to be included. But again the history of slavery curriculum pushed in US schools by woke school boards has a blind spot when it comes to this fuller accounting of history. A fuller accounting would disrupt the easy to follow victim & oppressor relationship and make things more complicated. And leave a lot of grey area. And ideologists prefer binary arguments. Standard folklore has European "slave traders" traveling into the interior of Africa and hunting down, trapping, and capturing unsuspecting Africans and ultimately shipping them to the New World to work in the American colonies. But initially slaves that were sent to the New World were sent to the Caribbean sugar plantations and to South America to Portuguese colonies like Brazil. The inconvenient fact is almost all of the Black Africans that were sold into slavery were captured and relegated to a life of servitude at the hands of other Black Africans from competing kingdoms and tribes. And this trade ran through Arab slave traders as an intermediary to various markets. One being the New World plantations. This Arab slave trade arrangement with African kingdoms was running for hundreds of years before Europeans arrived on the scene in Africa. And for the ruling kingdoms of West Africa this was a commercial enterprise they used to generate the funds from selling slaves to trade for goods and animal stock like horses. So I'm 100% behind the "history" lesson of slavery and racism if its going to include an accounting and discussion of the role played by Black Africans in selling their fellow Black Africans into slavery. This might raise all kinds of questions about who should really be paying reparations. And some inspection of the woke belief in the inherent evil monopoly white people hold because logically Black Africans that sold their bothers and sisters into slavery and the Arab slave traders would need to be just as inherently evil. Perhaps more evil? Add to that lesson the role of Arab slave traders acting as middle man that sold a portion of those slaves to Europeans and others to Middle Eastern markets and beyond. And that the slave trade in West Africa existed for 100's of years before white Europeans showed up on the scene. And that America eliminated slavery before most every other "market" for slaves. And in fact slavery still exists today. And rather than argue about the history of slavery which we can do nothing about it might be more productive and important to be doing something to stop and fight against slavery in its many forms that is happening around the world today. Sadly I suspect the entire thing is all about the usual political hustles for power. And not so much for correctly accounting for historical events.

The fundamental problem with the social responsibility argument is that no such obligation exists.
