https://theathletic.com/news/tennessee-titans-buffalo-bills-derrick-henry-ryan-tannehill/pHYhLp6xL5o0 What changed for Allen and are there reasons for concern? Matthew Fairburn, Bills beat writer: Allen was far from the Bills' biggest problem in this game, but the third-year quarterback couldn't carry the team the way he did in Buffalo's first four games. Without John Brown in the lineup, Allen forced the ball to Stefon Diggs most of the night. When Allen didn't go to Diggs, he dealt with drops, one of which led to a Titans interception. Then he made a costly error, throwing a careless interception that helped the Titans go up 28-10. He had some spectacular moments evading pressure and throwing on the run, but Allen's mistakes held him back. With Brown back and playing against lesser defenses, Allen should look more like the quarterback the Bills saw in the first four games.

Our defense is a BIG concern, but I guess that's for another thread. What the heck was up with Andre Roberts tonight? As for Allen, that first Interception really wasn't Allen's fault. The 2nd one obviously was horrible. Several drops today. Allen's ball placement was a little off today, but a lot of the drops that happened today were catches our WRs were making in the last 4 games. Allen still made a lot of great throws, but he looked a little shaky and rattled after getting intercepted on his first pass. As confusing and seemingly contradictory as this may sound, I don't understand why Daboll was so persistent with our game plan tonight, which wasn't working. Too much running with our RBs. You can tell there was a shift there when we put Yeldon in. At that point you could see Daboll realized something. This game was a dud. Let's hope first of all that Buffalo doesn't get any Covid positives as a result of today's game. Secondly, let's hope we actually show up for our SCHEDULED (sort of) primetime game next week at home against the Chiefs on Monday.

It wasn’t a silent majority that won Trump the Presidency. He barely won in the first place. Most people thought Hillary would win and probably (this is conjecture) preferred her over Trump, but wouldn't go out and "hold their nose" and vote because they thought there was no need. You say what "you've seen." That's nice. It's also cherry picking. Trump voters are naturally loud and obnoxious (sorry but the politically active ones just are)... that doesn't mean they represent even close to a majority. What you're seeing is sheer desperation clinging to a cult of personality. The rest of us might not be out there loud and obnoxious... it's because we're just clenching our teeth bracing and hoping we can make it another couple months of a horrible Presidency without too much more damage. My in-laws are pretty adamant Trump supporters and I can tell even they see the end. It's just better if you start coming to terms with it.

The OP essentially did in his response to my post. He didn't correct himself in any way when I said he (and anyone) is nuts if they think Biden is giving up the Presidency willingly, to which the OP replied "whistling in the dark." He obviously believes Biden is going to willingly concede power and said so to me with that interaction.

Not at all. I'm not really allowed to make new "prognostications" for a couple more months per a bet I'm honoring (my bet with the now ousted DR that Biden would win this election pre-dated that bet), otherwise I would offer you the opportunity to make a friendly little wager. Joe Biden has been running for President for the last 3 decades and you guys realistically think he's going to willingly concede his Presidency to someone else? That's just bat-***** crazy.

Soooo... any positives today?

Biden isn't leaving office. You guys are nuts. He's wanted to be President for a very, very long time and you idiots think he's some Trojan Horse swooping in to win an election only to give the Presidency away. Oy.

I'm surprised that no one responded to this very reasonable post full of excellent questions given that PPP has always been advertised as a place of welcome discussion of dissenting opinions

This is just becoming unfair. Postpone the game and add an extra week at the end of the season already.

I think you're a good dude, too. But it's not complicated and I've explained the same thing to you now it seems like a gazillion times. You're spending so much time examining the color and texture of the bark on the tree you're missing the forest around it. I think you understand my reasoning very well, you just disagree with it. I don't mind you disagreeing with it. The feigned ignorance gets old, though.

I'm watching it. I love it. Definitely falls in the "weird" category, but it's produced well, has an interesting story with plenty of twists, good action, good music and solid acting. I love the irony of using Jim Crow America black characters as the protagonists in a story based on the stories of HP Lovecraft, an overt racist. Finished season 2 of The Boys last night. First 2 seasons have been incredible!

Turn? I've been very, very consistent in my reasoning for voting Biden over Trump. You just haven't been paying attention.

Well, all that above and add in he only cares about himself, does nothing to denounce or condemn reported Russian bounties on American soldiers and in fact thinks military sacrifice is for losers and suckers, seeks foreign help for political purposes, and has actively undermined scientists during this Pandemic and contributed significantly to the nearly 8 million sick infection and nearly 220 k dead in our country from a Pandemic he's openly admitted he lied about to the American people... and that includes dozens confirmed with Covid in his own personal orbit at the White House... the answer is you, of course.

The entire season will be played. I've actually been impressed with the NFL so far. Take away the Titans situation and I'd say it's been spectacular for as many people there are involved in the NFL. We will continue to see cases and games will continue to be moved occasionally--I wonder if this is why they haven't yet committed to a day for KC vs Buffalo... potential Monday Night matchup?match-up?--but at this point I think the most likely outcome is that they push through the season.

Even Rasmussen has Biden over Trump by 12 points. I don't know if @Deranged Rhino is still perma-banned or if it's switched to temporary, but since I expect he can't stay away from this place forever he'll find a way back in some form... heck I'm sure he's reading through PPP on a daily basis. Whenever he gets back under whatever moniker, I hope he lives up to his end as the lover of our bet.

Exactly. What an idiot.

but they helped the wealthy MORE... and some actually saw increased tax liability... happened to a lot of middle class households making in the $100k range... exactly the people they professed they would help. Anecdotally. My wife and I never owed taxes before the Trump tax cuts came along. The last 2 years we've owed over $2k each year. We've ALWAYS claimed 0 on our Federal taxes. We're homeowners who are in that previously mentioned range, which is far from wealthy. We got hosed. Yes most of America saw tax benefits. The wealthy saw the most.

People stayed home or voted for 3rd party candidates. And that won't happen this year. It really is just that simple. Some of you act like there was this insane win for Trump in 2016 when the reality is that 70,000+ votes across 3 states won the election for Trump. I get it. I see Trump voters and the "Trump trains" out there, too. They're desperate. That's fine. They're the vocal minority. America in 2016: " Fool me once, shame on you." America in 2020: "Fool me twice, shame on me." The country won't shame itself this time.

No. Jim is the liberal who thinks he should be paying at MOST 20% while he holds $40k of that $50k while Jack (probably his employer) should throw in that 25% he can easily afford while he still pockets $187+k of the money he likely made thanks in large part to Jim's hard work.

I'm not ignoring it. Notice the very 1st thing I posted. It was a question you ignored. I wonder why...

Yes. Sorry. I should've clarified. Chiefs game is in the title as "later in the weekend" so I just assumed it'd be... well... the weekend.

Did you even bother looking at the analysis? You guys like to accuse liberals of being all feelz and no facts... try wearing your facts hat and acknowledge that the 2017 tax cuts disproportionately helped the wealthy and is ultimately disastrous for our annual National deficit and thus our debt.., Wait a minute!!!! All that debt is money we're borrowing from China!!! Trump must work for China!!!

Go ahead. Explain.

Did I touch a nerve? 60% of the tax savings went to the top 20% of earners and the corporate tax rate went up by 40%. https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/distributional-analysis-conference-agreement-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act/full Don't fall into the same trap so many of you here seem to fall into and let your own experiences get in the way of the actual facts.
