Trump's not running US ME policy. Biden is. So how stupid are people to listening to him? Its a complete disaster. From the initial atrocities committed by Hamas to the unrelenting no terms or conditions support for Israel's bombardment of Gaza while ignoring the death and casualty totals among the civilian population. As usual this administration that gets nothing correct has no coherent plan to defuse or resolve the current problem beyond sending a couple aircraft carriers and some additional troops as a show of force. Add in the Congress ever obedient to the defense contractors bottom lines with knee jerk billions of military aid to kill more people and this shitshow is headed for another unhappy ending. The terrorist need to be dealt with as required but condoning and supporting Netanyahu's killing 10's of thousands of civilians to accomplish that task is unacceptable.

Saying that scoring more points gives the Bills a better chance of winning vs. playing chicken and hoping to squeeze out a 3 point win on the last drive of the game is a no-brainer. The problem is doing it. As over the last month this offense disappears for about 1/2 the game every week along with committing a couple turnovers. And committing a series of errors including turnovers while playing the time of possession game to protect your defense more or less defeats the purpose of playing it that way. As part of playing it safe is not turning the ball over. That's shown to be a losing approach. So don't do it anymore. That seems obvious to us all. If your offense disappears for over 1/2 the game its hard to win regardless of how good or bad your defense is out there. If there are specific plays that have led to interceptions that get them out of the play book. I think the fundamental problem is Dorsey's game plan and play calling. Everybody has it figured out, whether watching from the stands, on TV, or the opposing defenses coaching staff and players. They know what's coming. It all way too predictable, period. I remember way back when in the early 2000's when the Bills had Bledsoe and a high powered offense tearing up the league for about a season and a half. Then everybody figured it out and it was all over. Because the coaches had no answers or wouldn't adjust. And here we are again. The message to McDermott and Dorsey is adapt and evolve or die. Strategy is not some static plan. It needs to be dynamic always changing and adjusting to changing circumstances and the actions of your opponent. The best coaches are the ones that do this well.

The Jets have the Bills number because they know the Bills OC is going to use the same game plan, run the same plays, out of the same formations, out of the same personnel groups as they did in week one while also understanding down to the last blade of grass on the field the Bills offensive down and distance and situational tendencies along with Allen's hesitation to take the "easy" play. They have it all figured out and expect Dorsey/McDermott won't change a thing. Which it probably going to be the case. Add in how its seemly impossible but true that the Bills defense makes their putrid QB look like a world-beater and it might get ugly.

Allen is a free agent in 2029. The thought of the team still "dicking" around with McDermott and Dorsey for 5 more seasons is frightening. And yet given the history of the team's unwillingness to know when to say when, quite possible.

Classic Billsy overlooking the obvious to make an insignificant and inaccurate point. Always someone else's fault is the entire basis of the left's victim/oppressor model. Get with the program already!

Yet all those American leftists are out in the streets protesting in support of Hamas. Do you condemn them for supporting terrorists?

On another topic I suggested the FO's drafting record, absent the Josh Allen maneuvering and selection, is in the bottom 1/3 of the league.

So far the reality on the ground supports that view. Many saw this outcome before the conflict began. Unfortunately, and as usual, few to none of those voices of reason were involved in the decision making process. That was left to the usual cast of characters from both major political parties responsible for the majority of US foreign policy failures of the 21st century.

You can't win expect to win every battle in the war as there are times when the cost of victory exceeds the benefit. This is one of those times. As the problem is on their own, it's unlikely that Ukraine's military will not be able to achieve that objective no matter how much funding or how many weapons we provide. Somebody is going to have to commit ground forces to combat operations in order for that to happen. Who is willing to do that in order to achieve that objective? Nobody at the moment.

What exactly would we be surrendering other than an open-ended infinite funding commitment with absolutely no conditions tied to aid for a war that cannot be won? And I'm being generous as the Administration has never even taken the time to define and communicate to the public exactly what "winning" looks like from an American perspective.

You should get your plan out to them immediately.

Dollars to donuts we all know that if this was some shooter identified as a white supremacist maniac that left behind some rantings and writings it would all have been posted everywhere before the bodies cooled. In this case the "manifesto" is super secret because there's no benefit to progressive DEI supporting psychos controlling the political strings from calling out one of their own for a mass killing spree. Saying its to protect the victims and their families is complete horseshit and everybody knows it so who do they think they're fooling? Its just another example of a systemic and complete lack of honesty from public officials.

The war in Ukraine has already cost that country a generation of young men either KIA, wounded, or leaving the country to avoid conscription. Dumping billions more down that hole isn't going to change that and for all intents and purposes the war is lost. Zelensky and others believing otherwise are delusional at this point. You won't hear a peep out of anyone in Congress or the Administration suggesting any tax increase coming into an Election year. As for Israel, this quote from David Stockman perfectly sums up my feelings, "If Israel wants to operate a modern-day Sparta, it needs to tap its own taxpayers first". Currently, Israel spends a paltry 5% of GDP on its military.

Drafting Allen was a risk Beane took that worked out perfectly. Excluding that maneuvering to get Allen I'd argue the draft record of this regime is in the bottom 1/3 of the league. Free agent signing have been more of a mixed bag. And without Josh this is a .500 team at best. If McDermott wants to "protect" his defense the best way to do it is to unleash the offense and give the defense a three-score lead with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Because if its close at the end they fold almost every time.

I'm not writing off the season yet either but they need 10 or 11 wins. At 5 now. So find 5 or 6 more. While nothing for certain, let's say Denver and New England. That gets them to 7. That leaves Kansas City New York Dallas Philadelphia Los Angeles Miami Let's say they win the 2 remaing division games which is debatable but that gets them to 9. Of the games left maybe the Chargers gets them to 10 so to get to 11 they need 1 out of the Chiefs, Eagles, or Cowboys. I just don't see that happening unless there's some big improvement or guys get healthy in the next few weeks. That doesn't look likely.

If Sean is truly is letting his ego and emotion make major decisions because of some need to get the "credit" for success and control the offense post-Daboll by limiting what Dorsey is doing then he's digging his own grave. One of my former managers used to say the only way you're going to be successful as a manager is if the people working under you are successful. I think that's also true in sports. The other thing is the potential to lose the team. He might have lost Diggs to this point. It kind of looks that way. Missing the playoffs looks quite possible and If he loses Allen because of real or perceived problems with the coaching staff that's going to be a problem too. A major problem for McD. Because if somebody has to go the owner is not going to fire (or trade) his franchise QB.

I'm not even ready for a change in the OC mid-season. Sean simply needs to address the shortcomings of the offensive game plan and play calling with Doresy. But when I hear the answers McD gives to questions about the offense he leaves me with the impression of a guy that doesn't know what's going on or has no input into the offense. That's an unacceptable situation for a HC. Get into the office with Dorsey and let him know what you want to see changed. I expect he'd be receptive but if he refuses than you've got a problem with your OC and at that point it would be appropriate to relieve him of his duties.

The biggest thing the Dems have taken from the Nazi's is the government propaganda machine composed of public/private censorship and monitoring of dissenting ideas and facts. Suppressing anyone and anything that disagrees with the official story. What the State is unable to do without violating the Constitution is farmed out to various social media platforms, think tanks, and universities acting as a proxy for the government. Pretenders expressing concern for threats to democracy posed by the extremists. Dems playing the part of wolves in sheep's clothing.

From player comments and quotes about the offense the players believe going up-tempo and running out of the no huddle is the way to get more scoring and performance out of the offense. And when the coaches go to slow down mode it kills the energy and cadence the offense is building. Everything goes dead. So the protecting the defense by slowing things down on offense is actually putting more stress on the defense by scoring fewer points and cutting the margin of error the defense has to play with during the game. Rather than go timid and cautious the offensive mindset needs to be saying to the defense is we'll get you 30 so just hold them to under that.

Yup. Queers for Palestine. Talk about dummies but it fits their new buzz word. "Colonization", or some derivative of the word. Saw some parodies on this. Like Blacks for the KKK Uighurs for the CCP Turkeys for Thanksgiving Deer for Hunters

We currently have a President that's a crook so the distinction is not necessarily a reason for exclusion from the ballot.

These contract decisions and cap issues are going to require Beane to hit on the draft in 2024. Get that WR we lack, find a run stuffer DT, and identify a RT replacement for Brown to name a few needs. Add in 2 new safeties and McDermott is going to be forced to do something he's not done which is start younger players out of necessity. No money will be available for any big name free agents. Its going to younger drafted and undrafted players and a few veterans at the end of their careers for the minimum to fill out the roster. But when you have your QB its a reload not a rebuild. Get younger, faster, bigger, and let go of the process, because the process is broken. Given we're only at the halfway mark of the season I hate to give up on it but the hard facts are its going to be tough to get to 10/11 wins given the remaining schedule and the state of the team. I think when the season ends the consensus is going to be this group was kept together one year longer than it should have been and the reload should have started this year instead of 2024.

AFC QB's w/2024 cap hits & UFA year & age when UFA Allen $47M, UFA 2029, age 33 Mahomes $57.4, UFA 2032, age 39 (last 2 years can be voided) Jackson $32.4M, UFA 2028, age 33 Borrow $29.7M, UFA 2033, age 37 (last 3 years can be voided) Tagovailoa $23.2M, UFA 2025, age 27 (5th year option value) Lawrence $11.7M, UFA 2026, age 27 Wilson $35.4M, UFA 2029, age 41 Watson $64M, UFA 2027, age 33, (last year can be voided) Herbert $19.3M, UFA 2030, age 32

The Elephant in the room is Allen's cap hit goes from $18.6M this year to $47M in 2024 with the team projected to be over the cap by around ($41.9M) assuming an NFL team cap of $240M in 2024. So where do you "save" $42M, sign your draft class, and maybe some low-level free agents? Cutting Tre saves about $6M but finding the rest might be painful. Miami is in the same boat over ($34.7M) with the Jets $14.4M under.

This belief in "gender identification" is a serious form of mental illness legitimized as "normal" behavior by woke thinking.
