I agree. Not impressed with the new GM so far.
We'll see. Frankly I haven't been impressed with any part of the new regime. Still trading up in the draft, still bringing in players we need with the cap space to sign them and letting them get away. And it's not like they were building something incredible in Carolina. I can't for the life of me figure out what impressed the Pegulas so much that they handed over complete control right away.

@ScottSwenson4: Bills really kicking the tires on Anquan Boldin. He was seen with Bills handler at UB Orthopedics. @news4buffalo

Finally some news to obsess over.
-
No news at all? Can't tell if that's good or bad.

Isn't Bolidn's strength going over the middle?
Other than money, I have no idea why he'd even consider coming to Buffalo.
Do you honestly and truly believe, that when a free agent with little interest from teams is trying to sign with a new one, that he delves into detailed pass charts to see where he might have a 5% increase in receptions over the middle? I mean your post is pretty ridiculous.

You're hoping this is watergate.
Because it's the only hope you have.
You can choose to ignore facts, and pretend that if there was anything to this investigation it would have all come out by now. I gave you an example of a time when that wasn't true. Maybe in the 70s some enterprising politicians with the rubber R stamped into their brain were making a big show of saying the Democrats hadn't found anything substantial at this point in the Watergate investigation. How silly they must have felt a year later.
-
Not yet. But don't worry, K-9 and friends will be here to tell us that it's just around the corner.
At this point in the Watergate scandal Nixon was just refusing to hand over his tapes. He wouldn't make his famous "I'm not a crook" statement for another 4 months. The impeachment proceedings wouldn't begin for another year.
Not saying this is Watergate. But for a federal investigation it is early. I mean you've been using this line for months, before it came out that Trump Jr. was lying about meetings for example. I know you're hoping to see the investigation end quickly, I assure you the president and his close circle are hoping the same, but it's gonna take time and more will come out. How much damage it all adds up to, that remains to be seen.
Happy to see Schumer pulling focus away from Russia though. Best for all sides to let the investigation do its thing and focus on other matters. It is a slow process.

Watson is gonna be this year's Dak.
Haha I couldn't have a more opposite opinion! But we will see.

This is probably a good place to put this anecdote:
Today, I was at Home Depot and stumbled over a little girl (between 3-6yrs old) who was obviously lost, with no other adult in sight. I thought about it for one second, and walked away. Wasn't going anywhere near that situation.
If she was going to get helped, it would need to be a female.
I even thought about informing a store clerk or something, but I might get accused just for being a male in the same general area as an unsupervised child.
You're far more likely to be killed in a car accident on the way to Home Depot, than you are to get accused of child kidnapping in this situation. Come on.
-
Just wait until Deshaun Watson faces an NFL defense. Maybe teams will finally learn to stay away from Clemson offensive players.
-
Scaramucci is very , very impressive at the press conference. Trump made a good move this time.
I thought he did very well, especially given the circumstances. Spicer got hit harder than he deserved but a lot of that is his own fault. I see Scaramucci handling the pressure of the job better.
-
It says he is interested in Buffalo because of Taylor.
Interesting that after Tyrod signed his new deal, he said part of the reason was to free up cap space for more receivers. We've done our part with signing Holmes, trying to get Maclin, and now Boldin.
-
Someway, somehow... OJ, Trump, and the Kardashians need to get together.
OJ and Trump are the same age. Kind of blew my mind.
-
What you hear is Tyrod is not a clutch performer and his entire body of work tends to agree with that. You guys cherry picking single plays or games and trying to paint an accurate picture is dumb.
Tyrod is a low risk/low reward QB who won't lose you many games but he's also not going to win you many either. That's who he has been. He's serviceable for the time being.
There are no "clutch performers" in the NFL. That entire concept is a myth created by people's memories of the all time greats. Most QBs stay within their normal stats in 4th quarter losing situations and only Tom Brady is winning 50% of games where he's losing in the 4th quarter. My argument isn't that Tyrod is clutch, it's that using that as a primary analytical factor is absurd.
-
Surely you see how ignorant it is to cherry pick one situation like this right?
All I hear is that Tyrod lost the Raiders game, Baltimore game, etc. What Rivers did there is lose a game for his team. It's ridiculous to point to him as the face of clutchness, surely you know that.

Why am I not surprised...
-the opinion of 50 State Boards of Election - biased
-the opinion of the National Association of Secretaries of State - biased
-Any study produced or cited by the Brennan Center - biased
-the multiyear hunt by one Secretary of State in a state of 1.6 million registered voters that uncovered 1 noncitizen voter in 7 years. - irrelevant
-a post audit of 4.7 million voters that uncovered 41 noncitizens votin- irrelevant
On the other hand...
-an internet poll where less than 1000 identified themselves as noncitizens, and extrapolating their unverified answers on a nationwide basis- VALID (Despite one of the authors of the study coming out and stating not to use the extrapolation in the study.)
-a claim by a "citizens group" that 10000 people were noncitizens voting...and a DMV/SAVE search that 1400 registered to vote -VALID that 14% of noncitizens register to vote.
Despite a caveat by the Board of Elections that in cases of a person flagged as possibly being a noncitizen in the SAVE database turn out to be citizens 97.6% of the time. (See p. 10 of the post audit/Appendix P.2 I cited earlier) That part doesn't matter...we'll go with the 14% figure.
There is hearing what you want to hear and tuning out what you don't want to hear....
...and then there's this.
I can only say...wow.
You are wasting your breath. The poster you're talking to believes only property-owners or military men should be allowed to vote. Gee I wonder why he supports voter ID laws and opposes any research that shows they are unnecessary? You don't even have the burden of proof here but you did a bang-up job, just don't expect him to listen.

No, because they deliver when the teams needs them.
http://thebiglead.com/2016/11/13/kiko-alonson-baited-philip-rivers-into-a-game-winning-pick-six/
Tie game, 1 minute remaining. Chargers are past the 50 and just need a field goal to win. Rivers instead threw a game-clinching pick six. I don't think Tyrod has ever thrown a worse pass than this when you consider game situation. I mean when has Rivers ever been known as a clutch QB?
Not really sure why I took the time to respond to you like this is any semblance of a normal conversation but why not.
-
Did you really? The lowest total of the previous 5 games the Bills played was 49. Maybe stay away from betting, the O/U for that game was 43.
I do a few small bets throughout the year, I'm not betting my kids' college savings or anything. Anyways, I didn't see Seattle or Buffalo scoring much in that game. Oops!
-
Think I'm putting some big $$$ down on the under for Denver.
I made that mistake with the Seattle game last year.

-
Pittsburgh plays the Browns twice and Seattle and Arizona were ahead of the Bills with SF twice.
This has always been frustrating to me. You have people saying the Bills offense just played bad teams, or scored in garbage time - as if we're the only team that does that. But then someone tries to take out the two games Roman coached and see where our stats fall, and the same side says "that's not how this works." I mean how many teams fire their OC 2 weeks into the season? I feel like that's a little more important than how many garbage time points we scored.
-
Are you now claiming that there is no voter fraud?
Are you claiming there IS voter fraud, the likes of which requires a national voter registry and heavy voter ID laws to prevent? If so, the burden is on you. Voting is a fundamental right. If you want to limit or infringe on it, you need to show good cause.

.@CoryBooker: Trumps Idea to Let Obamacare Fail Is Evil and Sinister
It is interesting that Senator Booker concedes that Obamacare will fail as is......................seems like that would be newsworthy
What government programs would not fail without constant tweaking? Literally our whole government would fail if Congress couldn't pass a new budget. What, do you think Social Securiry has been untouched since the 1970s?
Personally I think Republicans need to play ball and start thinking about how to make the public/private mix work best. The country's opinion is already turning towards a single payer system. I personally believe a hybrid is the best way to go but if they let the hybrid fail they will lose people very fast.

Both KC and OAK did a good job taking care of the football last year.
A nice outlier and regression example would be carolina with 39 takeaways in 2015, and 27 in 2016. Both very good numbers, so that suggests that their defense was good at taking the ball away. They had 19 turnovers in 2015 and 29 in 2016. They went from +20 to -2, and 15-1 to 7-9.
They had some terrible luck last year with turnovers and losing close games. They were in Miami territory and rivers threw a pick 6 and they lost. The 2 raiders games were there for the taking, and their defense is underrated. They added Mike Williams, and get Keenan Allen back. Added Okung on the line. Still have Rivers and Gordon. New HC in Anthony Lynn. Bringing back Whisenhunt who was really successful in his 1 year in SD.
They could win that division and I wouldn't be surprised.
Schefter just reported Mike Williams will likely be out for the season due to back surgery. Not sure how much that affects their record, if at at all.
-
KC and Oakland were 1,2 in the league in takeaways. That tends to fluctuate a bit from year to year, and also tends to have a pretty large association with wins..
I didn't even know this. Turnovers have a high playoff correlation. Oakland's defense wasn't even that good so I would at least expect their takeaways to go down. If Kansas City's dropped to average that could be the difference between 11-5 and 6-10, they had a lot of close games.

Not a fan of trade ups in general, I'd rather let the draft fall to me. And I am 100% sure McDermott was calling the shots using Carolina's draft board.
But let's see what happens, Boldin hasn't even been counted out yet. I feel that with letting Gillislee go and the cap space we have there is no reason not to try and add some important veteran depth to our offense. I understand not wanting to go cap crazy like Whaley did, but we're starting to pull too hard in the other direction IMO.
