Paradis and Saffold would immediately make the O-line a respectable unit. Golden Tate would be a nice place to start rebuilding the WR core. Those 3 big acquisitions plus 2 more mid-level acquisitions along with investing all picks in rounds 1-3 on offense would infuse the offense with a lot of talent, enough to where I think you can see what Allen actually has behind competent NFL offensive players.

The defense is a legit top 10 to top 5 unit in the league. The special teams is below average but not tragic, Haush is a very good kicker at least. But the offense is the worst in the league, the talent there just isn't very good. The Bills have the worst QB situation in the league, a subpar O-line and a bad WR core. There just isn't a whole lot of talent there. I think this team will eek out 2-3 more wins. I think the defense will keep the Bills competitive and close in 4-5 more games this season and they probably will win at least 2 of them.

I honestly think Zay Jones is a decent wide receiver
billsfan89 replied to Bills365's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Zay has proven thus far he at least belongs in the NFL. Now to what degree can he be effective is a the question? Right now he is playing as a fringe WR3 or high end WR4 but his play is consistently improving as he seems to be gaining more confidence. If (and this is a big IF) Zay finishes the back half of the year strong I think you can be comfortable having him be the WR3 of this team going into 2019. But if his play isn't that strong I think you have to bring in a vet or rookie at WR 3 to make him battle for that spot. But as of now Zay is looking like he might be salvageable. -
Ben Shapiro Explains The Transgender Conundrum
billsfan89 replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I don't think my bias is selective. I have given several examples of Shapiro finding behavior from Democrats towards Republicans deplorable and then doing that same behavior towards Democrats which is engaging in hypocrisy on partisan grounds. I disagree that Shapiro keeps his religious feelings separate from how he wants policy enforced. He wants many exemptions from the civil rights act based off of what he claims is religious freedoms. Now I won't deny someones right to feel that gay people are sinful or that being gay is against their religion. However Shapiro's arguments against gay people having marriage equality were previously argued under the grounds of the bible (which under secular law isn't an argument since not everyone holds the bible or even religion to be true and there is a separation of church and state) and under the grounds of religious freedom going above the civil rights act. He continues to argue against California teaching gay history because such history is sinful according to his feelings. Once again the whole facts over feelings mantra is just silly when someone consistently wants their religious feelings implemented into secular policy based off of feelings. The context of my "praise" of Jon Stewart was simply stating a mainstream figure that I think wasn't a partisan hack. That's not to say that I think Stewart is smarter than Shaprio or has a better knowledge of the issues than Shaprio but rather that when I watched Stewart transition from the Bush to Obama presidencies I didn't see someone switching their belief systems to make one party look better. I didn't see Stewart saying calling Bush a Nazi was OK (He would repeatedly say Bush is an Idiot not a Nazi) and then turn around and say how dare someone call Obama a Nazi. In fact I saw Stewart go after the Obama administration hard for cowtowing to Republicans and not fighting for progressive values enough. One of the things I liked about Stewart was his consistency. Now I actually will agree with Shapiro's criticism of college activism and SJW's (for lack of a better word) but that's a soft target to say that authoritarian college kids are *****. That's about as edgy and intellectual as going after the alt right and Richard Spencer. Its a soft target for people on the right to try and discredit everything progressive by saying that college kids listening to their idiot gender studies professors might be wrong about the world. Once again that's not to excuse such actions on the left but college kids and the far left aren't "The Left" in the same way Richard Spencer and the Alt Right aren't "The Right." Shaprio conflates the two and uses that cover to basically fashion his soft targets as a real take down of the left. -
If the Saints offer a decent pick and Kyle would want to go I would send him off. But I would allow Kyle to approve the deal (Unless they offered an insane pick which isn't happening) because I think he earned it.

NFL trade day tracker-It should be a wild day

I meant he indicated that he wants to test the free agency market once his contract expires. -

Tate has given every indication that he wants to test the market so I don't think a sign and extend is possible. -

billsfan89 replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Dam I am corrected. But I still don't think it makes sense for the Bills to trade for him given that he will be out on the free agent market. -

The Lions are 3-4 and Tate is a critical part of their team. They aren't looking to fire sale. -

Just for accuracy's sake the Stewart comparison wasn't on policy or ideas but more so on consistency of ideas and principles. -

Honestly they need 2 turnovers this half to win or a turnover and a big special teams play. The offense is limited they are going to need some plays from the other 2 units. -

They were at their own 40 not the Pats 40. It is far more likely to be a pick 6 than an offensive TD. Any sane coach would make that call. -
Ben Shapiro Explains The Transgender Conundrum
billsfan89 replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The context to which I am using the term "Partisan Hack" is referring to pundits that do not hold consistent principles they become more interested in making the party they support look good to their audience than actually focusing on policies and ideas that you genuinely support. For example a guy like Sean Hannity was railing on Obama for these huge deficits and claiming to be a pargon of virtue on fiscal responsibility but had no issue when George Bush was racking up debt to fund the wars and tax cuts he loved so much, now he has no issue with the debt when Trump is in charge. Hannity repeatedly attacked John Edwards for his extramarital affairs but defends Trump's affairs as not relevant. In my mind you become a Partisan Hack when you become more driven by how you can help the party you support look better than by actually supporting the policies and ideas. I think libertarian pundits actually tend to always want less government and more freedom so they actually push for those things consistently. Whereas conservative pundits tend to be more focused on Republican policy objectives (which aren't always in regard to responsibility, individual liberty, and fiscal conservatism.) I am sure you can point me to a few pundits on the conservative side that are more or less policy and principle based but I just am not familiar with any honestly. I can't name any mainstream liberal pundits who are honest and principle oriented (The closest I can come up with is Jon Stewart back on the Daily Show but he is no longer in the political sphere as much) but I do think there are a good amount on alternative media. -

Yeah probably, I have seen this happen a lot, a one possession game going into the second half and then the Pats just grind down the defense and slowly build to a 3 possession lead by the time the 4th quarter begins. -

Big miss there, Bills start the half with the ball and a little bit of momentum. -
