  1. Think about the difficult decisions Beane and McDermott made to get us in position to draft a potential franchise QB.  They traded Watkins, Darby, Ragland and eventually Dareus and got a partial year's contribution from EJ Gaines in return for all that.  By the way, they still made the playoffs.  They did this with a QB that the coach chose to bench and was likely convinced from about game 3 of the '17 season had no future in Buffalo.

     

    They traded Tyrod, Glenn to stockpile enough to get into the top 10.

     

    There is no question that Josh Allen has the most arm talent, mobility, athleticism of the three on the team right now.  These are factors in this decision, but not the only factors.  This Coach and this GM are not willing to throw away seasons.  They will play the QB who provides the best chance to win with the team we have this year.  The media will be clamoring for Allen and so will we...but I trust Beane and McDermott to play the QB who gives us the best chance to have the best 2018 possible.

     

    In most cases starting a Rookie does not ruin a QB as the list shows.  Starting a QB who gives the team less of a chance to win than alternatives on the bench -- ruins and divides teams.  McBeane won't let this happen.   Guys like Lorax, Kyle, Shady, Hyde, TreDe, Dawkins, Benjamin, Clay won't stand for anything but a commitment to winning this year.

    Though reports are that he looks like Tarzan and has already earned the respect of the vets calling the plays at the line, it looks like Shady has taken his lunch money a couple times in space 

    Coach McD says Iron sharpens Iron ?

    He does.  But I wish he'd stick to national security.  He might lose his security clearance if he keeps commenting on this stuff. 

    Ritchie would flip and sing like Michael Cohen under pressure....just MHO...  ?

  4. Did you see that wry smile when he was asked about RPOs?  That was awesome.  The question was if he was going to incorporate RPOs like he did in college.  He just said (with that smile) "The rules are different in college" and we'll see.  But his face said -- "Do you think I am going to tell you what our offensive scheme includes?  No effin' way.."

     

    I like this guy....even with the Matt Patricia pencil look...

    I mean - pass rush is a legit need.  And we'll have cap flexibility in 2019

     

    That front office no longer works here...?

    New Ownership as well....I think a Takeo Spikes like recruiting effort should commence immediately.  When we played Cincy at home the year TKO was due to be a free agent, there were signs, cheers, etc....and it worked...along with a few dollars.

    The league and the players association (sp) have worked hard to establish a dictatorship that provides the commissioner with ultimate power over all issues related to player discipline.

     

    This is what I got when I put the original statement into Google's Commissioner Translator....

  7. So sorry Royale.   I tear up just thinking about our 14-year-old Queensland Heeler entering her final phase of life.  God bless.

     

    One thing I will offer to the group.  Our Lily dog has gained new mobility and seems to be in less pain the last few months.  The change coincided with giving her a daily vial of CBD extract.

    I guess you are referring to the fried chicken dance ritual video?

     

    I can tell you it struck me as rather peculiar! 

     

     

     

     

    Yep, I normally stick to a nice rhumba for fried chicken...

     

    Holy cow, that young woman was beaten badly.  Makes my heart ache for her.  All I can do is let the authorities do their investigation and hope Shady was in no way involved.

    It should be noted that, regardless of whether or not the accusations are true, Shady will be suspended for quite a few games, for violating the league policy against being accused of domestic violence.  Given there's a graphic picture, he may be suspended for a whole year.

    It Goodell's law....or should I say Roger Godell....
