  1. Looking at the dead money hit for 2018, it appears that Quinn's full cap hit (just about) will go to the Dolphins (minus $955k). I believe The Phins have to make some moves to free up cap before this trade can even happen, right? They are either $5 million over the cap or $8M over the cap depending on which site you look at, and that doesn't even include the $11+ Million Quinn will cost. I believe they have to be cap compliant by the start of the new league year.... so moves are coming. But as of now they are at least $17M over the cap if you count Quinn. That's absolutely ridiculous for a team that has only won 6 games 2 of the past 3 years and has only made the playoffs once in the past decade. Talk about horrible cap management... I love it as a Bills fan! lol
  2. True. And I agree. I think it was Schefter saying that "they have not been engaged in any talks to move up in the draft" that made me question the Albright report.
  3. Hey, at least I didn't start a new thread for it, right? lol
  4. I haven't lost hope by any means yet. Its still very very early in the process. Beane and McDermott are too calculated to be ready to trade up for a QB without fully vetting him, or even meeting him yet in some cases.
  5. Welp... looks like Albright may have been full of crap (damn it!) - http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2018/03/buffalo_bills_have_not_been_engaged_in_talks_to_move_up_in_2018_nfl_draft_says_a.html Hopefully they're just waiting until after the combine...
  6. I think Cousins likely goes to Minnesota, but it sucks for the Bills. Thats the one rumored team that actually hurts Buffalo, as They pick well after us in the draft. Id much rather him go to a team like Denver, Arizona or even the NYJ, who by signing him would all leave a QB on the board for Buffalo. Ideal scenario in my mind is that Cousins goes to Denver, Keenum goes to the NYJ, and Bradford/Bridgewater go to Arizona and all3 pass on drafting a QB with their top pick. Seems more and more likely this guy's top/only priority is money. Itll be intresting to see if he picks the team that offers him the most money, or if he goes to the best situation.
  7. It's weird, I can't click on a twitter link from this site anymore. It used to take me to the tweet/twitter page, not it just takes me to a sign-in page. Anyone else have this issue?
  8. Not a chance I would give up the #21 overall pick for Nick Foles. That would be a massive overpayment IMO. I don't see Foles as anything more than a bridge QB, and you don't give up a 1st round pick for that. 1 good season back in 2013, and a SB MVP type game isn't worth a mid round 1st. You should be getting a long term starter with that pick, and hopefully a high end impact type player. You could be trading a potential franchise type player like Tre White with that #21 pick. I want an upgrade on tyrod badly, but if my choice is Foles or Tyrod plus #21, I'd rather have Tyrod + whatever player we get with pick #21. Id much rather trade up and give up both 1sts for a guy with a sky high ceiling like Rosen. We already know what Foles is, and he's not the type of QB that really elevates a franchise and the players around him. He's a bridge QB (at best IMO). I'm not even sure he's a full time starter TBH, unless it's in the right situation/scheme, with the right talent and playcalling.
  9. I would be so excited if Beane found a way to move up and draft this kid.
  10. I honestly don't know. I just remember reading a report shortly after McDermott was hired saying that they planned to bring in someone from the Carolina front office. I don't remember the report saying anything about firing Whaley, just that they were supposed to be bringing in someone from Carolina. Maybe someone can post the tweet/report? I quickly looked for it but couldn't find it. I'll post it if I find it. Just looking back in hindsight though, it does appear to me the plan was in place to move on from Whaley shortly after McDermott was hired.
  11. Thoughts and prayers with Jim Kelly and his family. I can only imagine what they are all going through right now after learning this devastating news. My heart aches for them.
  12. There was a report (or a tweet - same difference these days, right? lol) almost right after McDermott was hired that the Bills were looking to hire someone from Carolina's front office. Lots of speculation that person was Beane. I think the Bills may have denied the report at the time, but we all know how that ended up turning out...
  13. Here's one And here's 2 - This is absolutely false. Here's links to a bunch of real pictures of the earth. I just picked the first few that came up in a google search - https://newatlas.com/gallery-photograph-earth-from-space/50704/#gallery https://www.cnet.com/pictures/10-space-images-that-look-fake-but-are-actually-real-pictures/ https://www.nasa.gov/feature/top-15-earth-images-of-2015 https://www.space.com/35155-best-earth-from-space-photos-2016-astronaut-gallery.html http://www.ibtimes.com/5-best-nasa-photos-earth-space-2017-2634957 Here's a live feed from the international space station - https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/iss_ustream.html and a youtube video slideshow posted by NASA just in case you don't want to click on the links -
  14. Horizon zero dawn is one of the main reasons I decided to buy a PS4 when I had a relatively new Xbox one. I wasn't disappointed. One of my favorite games ever. Youre missing out on a lot of good games! lol
  15. If it looks awesome now Imagine what it'll look like in 4K with HDR! Do you have fallout 4? That was was the first game I played when I got my new Xbox. It blew me away, and that was only in 1080p. I can't even imagine what it'll look like in 4K.
  16. Yeah I seen that z9d too. I was gonna tell you about it but then I seen it was 100+ miles away. lol Sounds like you made the right choice. Im going to go sometimes soon to look at them again. I'll definitely give the 900e strong consideration. I like your idea of using the money saved to upgrade the PS4. I have the Xbox one S which plays in 4K (although not in native 4K), but my PS4 is just the regular one. Let me know what thr games look like in 4K HDR!
  17. Not sure if you're going to pay to have a professional calibration done. But Here's some different professional calibration setting I found on the x900e - https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x900e/settings http://best-tv-settings.com/tv-settings-sony-x900e-xe90/ https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/sony-xbr-65x900e-basic-picture-settings-and-hdr-notes/ There's plenty of videos on YouTube too.
  18. Nice! For that price you couldn't go wrong. I am am sure you will love the tv. I know I told you how much I love my current Sony. Happy for you man! Did you get it at Best Buy? Which one, if you don't mind me asking? How knowledgeable were the salesmen there?
  19. Well damn. I really wanted Tyrod gone. But if keeping him 1 more year means we won't have to deal with BuffaloBud420/Noogie75 anymore, I think it may actually be worth keeping him now!
  20. https://tvevaluate.com/sony-x900f-vs-x930e/ found an interesring article discussing the differnces between the x930e and the x900f. Sounds like the 930 might possibly be the better tv for hdr. I just looked it up - Peak brightness also also looks much brighter on the 930 vs the 900f (1400+ for the 930, and only 950 ish for the new 900).
  21. Wanna sell your z9d? ?
  22. The chip is what processes all of your image content, as well as what upscale to 4K. It also handles things like frame rate, and provides the processing power for numerous other processes. So I'd imagine the new chip will create a noticeable difference. Edit - I just found an article with a short little section on the x1 ultimate image compared to the current gen. chips. There's not much info out yet. https://www.techradar.com/news/sony-x1-ultimate ultimately though, I don't think I can wait till 2019. I'm driving myself nuts enough already... I've been thinking about buying one, ans reading all sorts of stuff for months now.
  23. Was just looking through info on the new technology release that this year's CES. Check this out - https://www.digit.in/mobile-phones/ces-2018-sony-showcases-next-gen-x1-ultimate-processor-for-use-in-future-lcd-oled-tvs-39022.html Doesn't sound like it'll be out until 2019 though. I'm not sure if I can wait that long. I just know I'll be pissed if I buy a tv now and then I see the same model a year later with this x1 ultimate chip that just blows my tv out of the water. lol Eh, it's kind of like that every year though. I would drive myself nuts if I always looked at the next "latest and greatest" thing to come out. Although that new chip does sound like a huge upgrade. Twice the processing power is quite a huge step up. Never a bad idea to just wait if you're unsure of a purchase. There's nothing I hate more than regretting an expensive purchase, and/or feeling like I made the wrong choice. I really want that z9d too, but I just can't get over that price. Not when I can get the 55" model 1 step down for a little over $2000 less (as the z9 isn't available in 55") when all is said and done. Maybe when more content is available in 4K and HDR I'll step up to the z9. But by then OLED and/or MicroLED will probably have taken over. Although id be lying if I said I wasn't at least considering that z9d a little bit... lol. Wonder if they'll have any clearance models when the 2018 sets come out? Doubt it since I don't believe anything changed on that set for 2018.
