    Despite what people think, the Bills front office is not trying to make a carbon-copy of the Carolina Panthers.

    With our GM and HC both from that organization, there are obviously going to be similarities.  But over the years they have learned what works and what doesn't.  They are clearly trying to do their own thing here.

     

    Josh Allen became a Top 5 quarterback in 2020.  That was the main reason for our success on offense.  If you don't believe he can replicate that going forward, then yeah.. maybe we were playing over our heads.  But personally, I don't see any reason to believe he's going to step back as his career progresses.  I've heard many state that Allen is possibly the most physically gifted QB to ever enter the NFL.  The question was if he could develop that talent, and he's clearly doing that.  

     

    On defense, we lack a big-name All-Pro talent on the Front 7.  No disagreements there.  But I would also say that Buffalo's secondary (Tre White, Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde) has more talent than anything Sean McDermott had on his defense in Carolina.  

     

    Very few teams can boast more than 3-4 elite guys on their roster.  The Chiefs are considered the absolute class of the league, and they basically have Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and maybe Chris Jones that you can put in that elite category.  The Bucs won the Super Bowl.  Their elite guys are basically Tom Brady, and maybe Mike Evans and Shaq Barrett.  The Bills have Allen, Stephon Diggs and Tre White as elite players.  Like Kansas City and Tampa, we have very few holes, solid/good starters at most positions and strong depth on the sideline.  Bottom line, we really aren't far behind anyone in the NFL in talent.

     

     

    I really don’t know. Would adding an elite DE tell us everything else we need to know about the others? I sure hope so. 
     

    I also hope the model is different because if Beane thought Singleterry and Miss were going to be the next DeAngelo Williams/Jonathon Stewart 1-2 punch, he missed by a mile on that one. I don’t know what’s going on there but it isn’t funny anymore.

    Over performing? Never really thought of it that way. If anything I thought Edmunds, Epenesa, Hyde, Zack Moss, Dawson Knox, etc. were underperforming. This team should upgrade anywhere it can (especially at RB) because that's what good teams do but this isn't a team of average players playing above their heads right now. There's a lot of talent.

    I really just don’t see it. I think the offense was obviously playing over their heads and the coaching did a great job of hiding the lack of talent on defense. I lived in Carolina all of those years and there’s no resemblance at all. 
     

    Who is the Julius Peppers of this defense? Who is the Charles Johnson of this defense? Those D lines were absolutely dominant. We don’t have ANY of those pieces. I would send BOTH of our LB’s packing tomorrow. We aren’t close on defense at all if the model is Carolina.

    I think a few posters here recently hit it right on the head. We don’t just need an edge guy. Those Carolina defenses had outstanding pressure and sacks coming from up the middle.

  3. If you're referring to the Rich case, it was most assuredly not debunked last night.

     

    If you're referring to the Russian meddling/collusion case, it's been suspect for many, many months.

    Sorry the Rich story didn't work out for you.

     

    Debunked.

  4.  

    Another point in favor of that explanation is that Trump has always insisted the Russia investigation is much ado about nothing. So he either fired Comey because he (Trump) was lying all this time, and thereby impulsively and precipitously exposes his own statements as lies. Or he fired Comey for some other reason, impulsively and precipitously...and not realizing that it would make his previous statements look like lies. Which, either way...five-alarm moron.

     

    And another reminder...not eight hours before Comey was fired, Congressional Democrats were calling for his head because of the discrepancies in Comey "misled" the Senate Judiciary Committee with his testimony, which required written "clarification" from the FBI. HOW !@#$ING EASY would it have been to wait a couple of days and ask Comey to resign for his mishandling of the Clinton case as evidenced by his clearly inconsistent testimony. Get what you want, get a politcal win by giving Senate Democrats what they want, insulate yourself from any blowback by indirectly engaging Senate Democrats in the decision. But no...let's just poke the situation with a sharp stick, and make Comey the anti-Trump hero to people who not eight hours earlier wanted him drawn and quartered as a pro-Trump stooge.

     

    It's actually pretty hard to be that stupid accidentally. You almost have to put some effort into it.

    Apparently It was Kushner's call which surprised me. They aren't very bright. It also was Ivanka and Kushner that insisted on promoting Flynn when everyone knew the FBI had him dead to rights.

     

    This is a family that doesn't believe they have to follow the law. Laws are for the peasants.

  5. He wants subpoenas and public hearings. It's very obvious what's he's doing. This isn't the only memo. More will come out.

    His memos aren't a "smoking gun" without him being fired first, which he was expecting from the start.

     

    The two events together are what makes this so bad.

  6. So, to put this in context:

     

    The Seth Rich report today revealed he shared 44 thousand DNC emails with WikiLeaks' most known middle man - a man who is no longer with us.

     

    The DNC denied the FBI access to their servers during the investigation - something that never made sense... until now. The FBI has/had Rich's laptop in their possession, which the DNC was aware of at the time. Had they let the FBI examine their servers, the FBI could have then tied the emails on Rich's laptop directly to the server, thus proving he was the leaker.

     

    This would, of course, blow the entire "Russia hacked the DNC" narrative out of the water. People who want to make the Rich case into something less than it is, or who wish to ignore it completely, are exposing their bias. The Rich case is central to this entire Russian investigation.

     

    The Russian / Trump story being pushed today is designed to distract you from this information.

    It was all debunked last night.

     

    His name was Seth Rich.

    Putin came out to save Trump's presidency. That should buy him some time right?

     

     

     

    :lol:

  7. Looks like Comey is !@#$ed or really !@#$ed:

     

    http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/gregg-jarrett-comeys-revenge-is-a-gun-without-powder/ar-BBBdLbm?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=HPCOMMDHP15

     

    Here is what we do know.

    Under the law, Comey is required to immediately inform the Department of Justice of any attempt to obstruct justice by any person, even the President of the United States. Failure to do so would result in criminal charges against Comey. (18 USC 4 and 28 USC 1361) He would also, upon sufficient proof, lose his license to practice law.

    So, if Comey believed Trump attempted to obstruct justice, did he comply with the law by reporting it to the DOJ? If not, it calls into question whether the events occurred as the Times reported it.

    Obstruction requires whats called specific intent to interfere with a criminal case. If Comey concluded, however, that Trumps language was vague, ambiguous or elliptical, then he has no duty under the law to report it because it does not rise to the level of specific intent. Thus, no crime.

    There is no evidence Comey ever alerted officials at the Justice Department, as he is duty-bound to do. Surely if he had, that incriminating information would have made its way to the public either by an indictment or, more likely, an investigation that could hardly be kept confidential in the intervening months.

    Comeys memo is being treated as a smoking gun only because the media and Democrats, likely prompted by Comey himself, are now peddling it that way.

    Comey will soon testify before Congress about this and other matters. His memo will likely be produced pursuant to a subpoena. The words and the context will matter.

    But by writing a memo, Comey has put himself in a box. If he now accuses the President of obstruction, he places himself in legal jeopardy for failing to promptly and properly report it. If he says it was merely an uncomfortable conversation, he clears the president of wrongdoing and sullies his own image as a guy who attempted to smear the man who fired him.

    Either way, James Comey comes out a loser. No matter. The media will hail him a hero.

    After all, he gave them a good story that was better than the truth.

    Now that's silly.

     

    I don't recall Comey accusing Trump of "obstruction of justice" do you?

     

    Anyone?

     

    I think that would be for Congress to decide.

  8. He's trying to do his !@#$ing job and no matter what he does the MSM and the left hound him. We're dealing with pure hypocrisy. When an ACLU attorney can admit in court that Trump's travel ban would have been ok if only Hillary had issued it and when dumb schit Maxine Walters can say that Comey's firing was bad because Trump did it, but would have been ok if Hillary had then even you libs should feel ashamed.

    Whatabouthillary?

     

    False equivalencys!

     

    Kellyanne, is that you?

  9.  

    Impeachment is not about public opinion. It requires conviction (to be found guilty) of bribery, treason, or high crimes and misdemeanors. Public opinion has squat to do with it. If it worked that way, no president in my lifetime would have served a full single term.

    It has everything to do with it. They pick from a list of crimes, that he easily created for them, and they just move forward.

     

    It's over Boss.

     

    Look at the Republican shift just in the last 5 days. What do you think it will look like a week from now? This is already in motion.

  10.  

    Well...except given that you actually have to commit a crime to be impeached.

     

    And Trump hasn't even done that much yet. Being a simpering orange retard isn't a crime.

     

     

    Not really. It doesn't tell me anything that I didn't already know.

    He technically did enough just in his first week to be impeached. He still hasn't divested. Impeachment is more about public opinion, which crime they throw at you doesn't really matter. They, or really the public, decides if it's serious enough. If they public demands it, they'll impeach him for a petty crime.
  11. Is anyone here concerned that the President asked the FBI director for loyalty at a private dinner, and then this morning threatened him with tapes of their conversations? Or are we hand waving this away with some reference to something a Democrat did in 2009?

    It's just your classic deflection, whataboutisms, and false equivalencys. I was hoping this board wasn't infected with Russian trolls but apparently not.
