  1. It would be kind of crazy if they both won it the same year. A parade in both February and June of 2026 sounds like a lot of fun.
  2. Nothing gets by you Doc.
  3. Love the optimism as both a Bills and Sabres fan.
  4. All true except the idea that Chinese workers will rise up against the CCP is laughable. You've got to go all the way back to Nixon but the Clinton Administration certainly exasperated the problems getting into bed economically with a Communist party. Also, when is our next election? When's China's? You see the problem with that I hope. You're way too cynical and accurate. We couldn't even get anywhere one entitlement reform as is a losing issue (see Paul Ryan) so don't expect Congress to ever actually work on reducing the deficit. Every American should just send the government a $1200 check if it means eliminating the tariffs. At least then small businesses won't be destroyed.
  5. Overspending in free agency has a terrible track record. Extending good players you drafted on team friendly deal a year before they hit free agency has a much better track record. Benford, Shakir, and Rousseau could've been one of those overpaid free agents next year so extending them now giving them financial security entering next season is good business. I wasn't a huge fan of the Bernard re-signing but who am I to question McBeane. The main criticism of Beane is his inability to draft true game wrecker elite playoffs in the draft besides Allen. However, besides Metcalf, there just wasn't a realistic opportunity to get one of those guys this free agent cycle. Need to nail the draft.
  6. NBC didn't even bother broadcasting the game in the WNY area because they knew everyone would be there.
  7. If we get into a tariff war with China even under the most well thought out and targeted plan we'll still pry lose. I don't see his tariff policy so far as well thought out and strategic. China can inflict economic pain on their citizens with less repercussions than we can because it's a communist country. You're going to hear sob stories about how these China tariffs destroyed small businesses in the US within the next few weeks. Trump knows this and it's why he backed off the tariffs that would've made our technology gadgets we all enjoy more expensive. I'd love to see where the money saved from DOGE actually goes.
  8. That's why a 10% tariff policy isn't even rational. It's just another tax on the consumer to subsidize the education/training jobs you referenced. All of which will decided by a government that is filled with corruption and/or incompetence.
  9. Whatever. It's the right policy decision. Still don't get his beef with Canada though. It's never a good sign when I'm hearing Tasker say on a commercial get these cars before these idiotic tariffs kick in.
  10. Heavy is he who wears the crown or something like that. He's the highest paid player in the league with an MVP and should be heavily scrutinized until he wins a Super Bowl.
  11. I'm less confident now than I was before the last Chiefs game. I was confident we'd score a TD this last game because I've seen him lead a touchdown drive to give them the lead late in the 4th quarter at Arrowhead three out of three times already. Given he's failed the last two playoff games I'd say no to your hypothetical Super Bowl question.
  12. He's 0-6 in overtime and 0-5 when he did possess the ball needing a TD to win (Eagles, Vikings, Bucs, Texans, Jets).
  13. Beasley was a better route runner but Shakir has more YAC ability along with finding the soft spot in zones. I think he might be a tad overrated by fans given we have nobody else dependable right now at the WR position.
  14. I wouldn't be too hard on Allen as I remember him pulling out some clutch game winning drives using his scrambling ability, elite arm strength, and improvisational skills. Something the Montana and Brady's of the world didn't have. The one's that stick out in my mind are the Lions Thanksgiving bullet to Diggs, the two at KC to take the lead in the regular season, at Baltimore in the rain after the Poyer interception of Lamar, and two Miami home games in 2022 (snow game) and 2024 (Bass 62 yarder). I also think I'm cherry picking games (overtime record) to make the case against him being clutch in game winning drive opportunities. Just to get to overtime in those five games took some late game heroics. Profootballreference has him at 21 game winning drives since his rookie season. I'd argue it should've been 23 if it wasn't for the Hail Murray and 13 seconds. I'm not going to pretend to know how many he failed to make but I've never really viewed him as a "choker" in close games in the 4th quarter.
  15. I kind of remember that being a criticism of the people around Reagan starting around his second term. Completely different media landscape at the time though obviously. Another difference was Reagan was an excellent president.
  16. It was meant as a joke but if Watson did come back better than ever he'd be even better than he was his three straight years making the pro bowl.
  17. I'm not even that confident in the regular season. Allen's 0-5 in overtime despite having the ball and needing a TD to win it.
  18. Laugh now but Watson said he's coming back better than ever. Look out NFL.
  19. It's a defense mechanism by Bills fans when all we hear is how Allen is 0 in 4 against Mahomes in the playoffs. No reference to the fact that he should at minimum be 1-3 if it wasn't for an epic meltdown by our coaching and defense with 13 seconds left. On the pie chart of blame for the Chiefs losses he's not even close to coaching, defense, and weapons coming up small in big moments.
  20. Yeah. I'd agree with that. Kelly is the only QB in bills history to be a first team All Pro I believe so I don't want to undersell him too much.
  21. The you have to go down the rabbit hole of if we drafted Marino in '83 would we have been in position to draft Bruce Smith with the 1st pick? Would we have had the ammunition to get Bennett in a trade? It's a fruitless "what if" exercise for that reason.
  22. I don't blame the last KC game on him. Kincaid has to come down with that. I do the one the year before where Bass missed the field goal. Brady's play call too. The Bills had the perfect opportunity to drain that clock and score with little time left to go up four. It was the only way we were winning that game with AJ freaking Klein covering Kelce. Josh then decides to take a low percentage 30 yard pass to the middle of the end zone coming out of the two minute warning on 2nd down when he had a wide open Diggs on the check down that would've either got the first down or a very manageable 3rd and short. Clock stops and we're in a 3rd and long. Even if we get the Shakir TD the Chiefs had pry an 80%ish chance of scoring a TD to win the game with that much time left. Poor decision by Josh.
  23. No. My motivation is more selfish for removing OJ's name from the Wall of Fame when we switch stadiums. I'm sick of the debate.
  24. You confused me more. Lol. Got you now though. I know that less evidence is required for an arrest before the district attorney decides whether there's enough evidence for the case to possibly go to trial. This is especially true of rape cases. I do agree though that his arrest alone will pry prevent him from being drafted.
