    ChatGPT simulates Josh's career

    Sorry to be the turd in the punch bowl, but asking ChatGPT or any GPT to simulate any team or player's season will always result in something positive happening.

     

    The GPT does this because it gives the input priority over other variables in the model. Google search "Chat GPT Model for Raiders season" or even Browns. Same thing.

     

    It's a bit of fun, but shouldn't ever be considered predictive because it is heavily biased.

    Every party has a pooper,that's why we invited you🎊🦬💩

    Is McD compensating for Beane Part #2?

    This is pry the main reason for a lot of good players but not many elite one's.  Picking late in all the rounds every year hasn't exactly helped Beane acquire elite talent.  I'm not absolving him of all responsibility (we could've had Metcalf twice now) but It's one of the downsides of missing the playoffs only once in eight years.  Although, even when we had a top 10 pick (besides trading up for Allen) we chose Ed Oliver over D-lineman like Wilkins, Simmons, Lawrence, and Burns.  

    Touché. But no to ball grabbers,or other such nefarious doers

    Not an excuse,but drafting at 25-30 every single year,you can hit or miss easily. Overall, Beane is pretty good. A better GM than talent evaluator at times,but name me a better GM the last 20 years that's called Buffalo home? When your very first draft pick is JA17,you have some leeway

    Bills look for debt waiver as stadium costs rise

    I doubt that. I know a lot of people think "tariffs will only add 10% to the cost of the end product!" or "if supplies aren't coming from tariffed countries, no issues!" but that's not what happens (not saying YOU specifically).

     

    Add 10%+ to every bit of manufacturing & distribution up & down the supply chain, plus whatever price increases these guys will add to keep their expected margins, keep up with expected inflation, or simply take advantage of the opportunity to raise costs. Then you factor in if these companies use labor, shipping or whatever from affected countries at any point in the chain. A company may be importing materials from a country outside of tariffs, but that doesn't mean who they're importing from doesn't have their own costs tied in with another tariffed country.

     

    And given how interconnected so many of these companies/countries are, always looking for the cheapest route possible while increasing their own margins, prices go up across the board & leak into other markets.

    Meh....most of the structrual building costs have been paid for. Shipping,maybe. But nothing has even kicked in yet in the ways of tarrifs. It's just a fact. Zero implications of cost due to tarrifs(that haven't happened as of yet).Not debating economics here,just pointing that fact out

    i wonder how much the factor of tariffs is playing into cost overruns.

    But by the time this stadium is completed, it may be twice as expensive as what was 1st estimated.

    I understand there will always be factors that add on cost, but that seems pretty excessive a difference.

    Zero factor

    Criminal group targeting NFL players

    So a crime ring is targeting NFL players, looking at schedules, scouting the homes and robbing the valuables when the players are gone. 

     

    Happened to Kermit and Travis...

     

    The one thing I found odd is the NFL and FBI are recommending players get camera covering the windows and doors...with the money these guys have, one would think they already have cameras everywhere.  Also, if they are from South America, what's a camera gonna do unless it's a live feed that's monitored?

     

    Side note, I'm guessing these folks would stick out like sore thumbs in OP of they tried that nonsense on a Bills player

    I mean,c'mon man. It's just a town,or two. In a state,or two. What could go wrong?

    These refs didn’t even understand basic PI rules. Many of the PIs were not or were uncatchable balls. The two calls that benford got on Wilson were just wrong.  
     

    Also, has anyone heard of replay assist being used this much in a game? I think this crew must be on a short leash.

    Never heard that. Welcome to the age of AI. Unhealthy,and not 100% accurate. Brace yourselves puny humans
