    Makes good points. Is that an appropriate way to dress for the most important event in US politics? Is that a proper way to  act, looking totally not interested?

     

    I like Bernie a lot but she has valid points.

    Looking disinterested is now white privilege? The right to dress appropriately for cold weather is white privilege? If a black congressman dressed the same way no one would comment on it being inappropriate except maybe a few leftist who try to be offended all the time.

    Did I?

     

    I have stated, because I know the rules, when in the government or acting for the government, you have to submit records of contact to Foreign entities.  especially enemies. 

     

    Are you still denying that Russia has never tried to affect the political agenda in the US? 

    The numerous Fake FB and Twitter accounts?

     

    Prison and fines are the punishment. 

     

    Slim I hope you are a young guy because this comment about Russia smacks of being extremely naive. Russia has tried to influence every election since at least 1960. Showing Russia had bots is not evidence of anything except Russia tries to sow discord in the US. At this point only partisan hacks have not realized that Russia is our enemy and want to weaken the US by any means possible.

    It is lazy.  Do you know how many times I've been called a ignorant liberal here?  Its a label.  if its untrue you blow it off.

     

    I am truly a moderate, I ride the middle, always have been a registered independent.  There are a number of R's who I respect.   

     

     

    But the Agent of Chaos is the worst president ever and many people ignored his bluster believing he was just joking

     

    He was joking about Hydro whatever, injecting sunshine, raking the forest floors to prevent forest fires.   But not him inciting an insurrection.  Stand back, stand by.

     

     

    I assume you live in NY or you only come here and give your most liberal takes because you have never espoused any thoughts that were conservative I have seen. Most moderates have left NY due to the insanity of the government.

    He's 29-21 as a starter.  These takes are en fuego!!

     

    He's in a bad situation.  His HC is a flash in the pan bum who pulled him for Foles (who promptly went 2-5)His FO went all in on Mack 3 years ago and, other than padding his stats, that move hasn't made a dent on this team's fortunes (and their Defense is now back to 14th in points allowed).  They have 1 WR over 625 yards. 1 rusher over 250 yards. 

     

     

     

     

    He is not bad and will forever be the guy taken before Watson. His play on playoff game is not why that team lost and I think if we could get him cheaply I would love it.

    Think your missing his point... you don't beat the Chiefs opting to kick FGs when your defense wasn't stopping anything.

     

    You be aggressive. McD was the opppisite of aggressive. 

    That is not his point- he states explicitly that he is not discussing the field goals. His point is that we should have run a faster offense because they have only lost games where the other team scored 38 points. We did not make plays and that is why we lost, KC was prepared for the way the game was called by the officials and we were not.( I am not blaming officials since they were consistent)

    In response to this, I'm going to say what I've said a few times before.  It isn't completely original - the core of the idea was said in this forum a few months ago.  

     

    Before I say it, I have to say that people are getting carried away with how to beat KC.   I mean, sure, the Bills have to beat KC, but the real objective is to become the team to beat, not to be the team that can beat the team to beat.   Having said that, I think you're right that the Bills playing style should be to score a lot of points, and that's exactly what you're saying.

     

    Here's the way I think it should be:  The Buffalo Bills have a generational quarterback.  He is one of the smartest QBs ever to play in the league.  He is one of the best natural leaders ever to play QB in the league.   He is one of the best throwers ever to have played in the league.  Of all of the Hall of Fame caliber throwers in the history of the league, he may be the best runner ever.   He is one of the biggest, strongest quarterbacks in the league.  

     

    The Bills objective shouldn't be to score a lot of points to beat KC.  Their objective should be to score a lot of points because they have the best QB in the world for scoring points.  That's why Beane traded for Diggs.

     

    And because that's the kind of offense the Bills should have, that's why the Bills shouldn't play defense that challenges the opponent to go on long clock-eating drives.  The Bills should play defense that challenges the opponent to score fast or punt, because that's the kind of defense that gets the ball into Allen's hands quickly.  The Bills defense should take risks, force turnovers, and challenges the opponent to beat them long.  Granted, KC is uniquely equipped to do exactly that, but that just defines the nature of the challenge when the Bills play the Chiefs.  

     

    The Bills defense should pressure the QB mercilessly and should challenge him to beat the Bills deep by taking away all the short stuff.  Make Kelce irrelevant.  That is exactly how the Chiefs played the Bills - take the run away, take the short game away, dare them to go long.   The Bills played into the Chiefs hands by being passive, true, but the problem with being passive is not that it helped the Chiefs offense.   The problem is that style doesn't complement the Bills offense.

    Honestly with 20/20 hindsight you are probably correct. They planned to face something similar to what they saw in October and we gave it to them. If we had thrown a different style maybe we have a chance, at the very least do that after half.

  6. I look at it primarily as can I find a better or at least comparable guy for what we save by cutting him. I think we can cut Brown, Jefferson, and Butler while finding someone better for that cost. Though I wonder if Jefferson or Butler will be better with Star next to them, so maybe one stays. I also am probably one of few who think Lee is well worth his cost since he is an extra lineman 80% of the time and half his catches are TDs this year.

    I’d have to watch again but I saw Jones(a very good DT) basically make Feliciano his B word..... doesn’t mean you have to overreact and draft his replacement in the 1st or 2nd round. 
     

    Just don’t want to see them reach for need. Stick to BPA at premier positions(pass rusher, CB, dynamic playmaker on offense) 

    Feliciano has been solid all year when I have watched him but Jones made him look awful. I think Jones was the best player on KC and impacted the game more than anyone else.

    But history has proven you can’t make a great O like KC “inefficient”. When the only teams that have ever beaten Mahomes have averaged 36 points, it might be obvious to even somebody like u that u don’t beat this team in 13-10 games. Not happening- never has - pretty obvious to all but the oblivious

    I don't think you are discussing analytics, you are simply stating that all the teams that have beat them scored a bunch. The Chiefs scored 17, and low 20's multiple times this year in one score games, if their opponent scored one more point in any of those games they win. You have a small bit of information and are calling it analytics.

    I think Coach McD is great and I hope he is our HC for years to come. But he badly stubbed his toe in the biggest game of his HC career because he ignored analytics and reverted to his (natural) conservative form. I am not talking about the field goal decisions, although they were terrible and unsupported by analytics as well. What I am referring to here is the overall strategy he employed in this game.

     

    Analytics for years now has consistently demonstrated that the “strategy” of controlling the clock via run game etc so as to keep a great QB on the sidelines is a losing strategy. Not a shred of evidence that it ever works, despite many in the WNY media touting this strategy. Far more troubling is McD playing softest zone, force them to take lots of plays and lots of time to score. Of course, this strategy also keeps your offense on the sideline for a long time. It’s a strategy designed to shorten the game. It’s a strategy that prevents your O from producing a lot of points. 

     

    Herein is the monumental failure. Mahomes has lost only 9 games in his career. The average score of the 9 teams that beat him was 36 points. The only way any team has beat him was to outscore him. McD employed the complete opposite of the only strategy that has ever been consistently successful v KC. Look, we would have probably lost anyway, but we did not go down swinging, because our head coach went with his gut, instead of the hard evidence that analytics provides. 

     

     

    The way you beat KC is to outscore them- regardless if it is 13-10 or 38-35. You beat them by being efficient with your opportunities and make them inefficient with theirs. If KC take 9 minutes on a drive and don't score it is a win for Buffalo. That game was not won or lost by analytics but by the team that made more plays.

    Should qualify this as one of many vaccine conspiracy hoaxes and not the first micro chip nonsense, but read this in Popular Mechanics and it cracked me up.

     

    The sinister schematic that was being passed around below by these Q-Anon aficionados was actually the schematics for (and I quote), "a totally bitchin’ Boss Metal Zone MT-2 guitar pedal, meant for shredders summoning the sounds of the devil from their six-strings."

    I doubt many other do- the schematic seems to have been added later, probably as a joke, and people ran with it. I also doubt Qanon is too closely linked with communists.

    Yup, I see Trump as a know-nothing idiot. He is trash and I call it like I see it. 

    You also see Joe as a genius because of his amazing track record of no accomplishments for 50 years, don't forget that part.

    The war where over 96% of republicans in the house voted for war where only 36% of democrats did?

     

    Or where 99% of republicans votes yes in the senate.

    You think you are clever but your inability to answer simple straight forward questions is sad especially when you call all other liars for showing you facts you don't like.

    As always, there were a number of contributing factors at play here.

    One's that I noted or heard about from expert viewers (Eric Wood/ Cover 1) were:

     

    1 - The extremely grabby defenders (Bills need to learn to play this way on D too if they get back to the AFC title game)

    2- KC was waiting til Josh reacted to their alignment on D with adjustments, then they would switch out and then switch back to their original defensive alignment with very few seconds left on the clock causing confusion on the re-load

    3- Crowd noise had both of our tackles reacting a split second late on snaps (which they weren't used to this year)

    4- Our receivers were seriously banged up (especially Davis, Brown and Beasley to a degree)

     

    To me the first one is the biggest one because we did not take advantage of it on defense. If we had used Edmunds on Kelce and forced Kelce to fight more I think we would have done better. That being said we were not sharp and KC had their best game in 3 months so winning that one was gonna be almost impossible.
