My hunch. He's also too far behind to pass anyone else, so he'll retire after this year. Also, I think the Bills will draft a couple RBs in 2020.

I'll repeat what I said over a month ago, as a football fan, I feel fortunate to be able to see Gore do his thing one last time...

I don't think his issue is motivation, rather I think it's learning to play within McD's system. The dude's motor is going every play. On a side note, it looked like Ed should get an assist for Shaq's second sack, as the C was looking to help the RG on that play when Shaq blew by him.

Morse may be better at getting the OL call in, but man the running game looks better when Feliciano is at center.

Hope Foster is ok, he was finally getting involved.

This is a nice summary of Ukraine's effort to interfere in 2016. https://yasha.substack.com/p/ukraine-and-meddling-in-2016-a2c

Sure. Reminds me a bit of when a relatively unknown local Dallas reporter, the only reporter to view the Zapruder film, said JFK's head went violently forward from the final gunshot.... This one kind of expresses what I'm thinking... https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/11/23/barr-says-epstein-died-by-a-series-of-coincidences-ending-all-conspiracy-theories-forever/

Gee, I sure do believe the son of the man that gave Epstein his start....

Ah, so he must’ve played in that last Miami game...

Wonder if Jaquan Johnson will finally see some action?

I’d like to see them score 31 against this D. The O needs to pick it up from here on out.

There were guys (Bills' players) playing a game of who knows what and they got loud a couple times. Josh reacted to the first yell, then the second major scream is when he made the comment you quoted. Other than that, typical JA presser.

Regardless, it doesn't matter now...

Thanks for those. I have to keep reminding myself that he was viewed by many, of the top 4 picked, as being the least polished but having the most potential. I'm guessing his biggest jump in the stats will happen next year?

No sweeps. As many have noted, they need someone who is a legitimate WR on the other side. McKenzie can still do his role part-time...

yeah, me-thinks mckenzie doesn't strike fear in the hearts of our opponents...

Yes. My initial response was related to the suggestion that the increase in deficits (under trump) were only related to rising expenditures.

The fact that you use a % of GDP means you are considering its growth--if growth rises fast enough, the $ revenues will be so much higher that the % will also be higher. I know you are making the Supply-side argument that tax cuts cause faster growth, so revenues will actually rise. Had no change in tax rates been made, revenues would rise in $ terms as GDP increased (by say 2%) because the % tax share would not have decreased (it would be close to the 17.2% of 2017). GDP did increase a little faster (2.9%), but the actual $ revenues only went up by $15 billion in 2018 when revenue increases were averaging almost $150 bil/year going back to 2012. Supply-siders usually say, see we cut taxes and revenues did go up -- $15 billion. However, had we not cut taxes, revenues would've increased by a greater amount, closer to $140 billion...

My point is both sides of the equation are behind the higher deficits. The fact that revenues are 1% < the norm, adds $200 billion to the deficit as you said. While spending is the main driver, lower revenues as a consequence of lower tax rates contributed as well. Looking at the actual $ values, the calendar year 2018 deficit increased by $115 billion over 2017 (Revenues increased by $15 billion and spending increased by $130 billion). Relative to GDP, revenues were 17.2% in 2107 and 16.5% in 2018, so that decrease of 0.7% was equivalent to about $140 billion in lower revenues, all else constant. I'd guess that without the tax cuts, the 2018 deficit probably would've been pretty close to the 2017 value--tax revenues would've been about equal to the spending increase. Going back to 2012, the average increase in revenues was close to $150 bil/year.

For 2018, Revenue is also 1% (of GDP) lower than the historical (CBO data goes back to 1965) average; on the other hand, spending is = to the historical average. And interest payments (as a share of GDP) are still < than the historical average.

Where in the world is Foster?

New piece by A. Mate...

Yes, he plays one of the backer roles and he often is a DL in pas-rushing, but typically interior, not end. I imagine that he could take the end role a few times, with Shaq playing more of the snaps.

Shaq and Lorenzo will split it
