  1. Yeah, I think I was sleep deprived by the end of the season. (Stupid 5 hour time zone difference).
  2. Plenty of reasons that there is a difference in reaction. 1. Familiarity. Lots of people have been to Paris, not so many to Moscow. 2. Culture. France is an enlightened democracy with plenty of shared values. Russia is a totalitarian state run by a corrupt despot. 3. Coverage. Paris, as the capital of a democratic country, has a lot of news broadcasters and the amount of footage and reporting was enormous. Moscow is a totalitarian state with few foreign news teams (and limited in what they can do or where they can go). And the state run propaganda chanels are generally crap. 4. A lot of the pro-Paris stuff was from within Europe, whose nations are VERY closely tied to one another these days. Except for Putin's Russia and its satellite states, of course. 5. Unlikely to go to war any time in the next century vs Putin says in his statements that he should be ruling at least half of Europe and have troops in Berlin. So, yeah, there are major differences as to the reaction. With the Russian attack there is empathy for the victims but not the widespread outpouring of support as there was for Paris. It also does not help with the sympathy angele that Putin is blaming the west/Ukraine for the IS attack, which is complete bollocks.
  3. When the US warned about the possibility of attack it was (apparently) ignored. To quote Putin the warnings 'resemble outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilise our society' Literally three days before the attack.
  4. The alert was two weeks ago. And the Russians did stop one attack on a synagogue with four terrorists killed last week. The claim this is definitely a false flag operation could be correct, BUT it is more likely that it is Islamic State ####### and Putin is using it as an opportunity to 'justify' his war on Ukraine.
  5. The idea that a bunch of terrorists would flee to Ukraine is nuts - they would have to pass through the Russian front lines, FFS. So that is prime BS. (There are far easier ways to get the hell out of Russia, such as via the Baltic States or even into Belarus and moving on from there). Either this is the work of Islamic terrorists. Or it is a false flag operation.
  6. If he's fit, he's a fit.
  7. DL first, then WR in the second (depending on who is available) as things stand at the moment. We have very little in the DLine at the moment with all the FAs, and unless we have an eternal sign 1 year DL deals we do need regular input of fresh blood. WR depth is good in this year's draft, apparently, so a good WR can be had in the 2nd, DL on the other hand is much thinner. We will have to see what gets done in Free Agency, by the time the draft arrives our needs could be very different.
  8. We would lose another player on call-up. Probably Isabella, leaving us short in WR. No penalty as he was blocked into the Chiefs player.
  9. This is good news, because the Bills will now be able to use their PS call ups on positions of need. So Klein and Isabella again, I reckon.
  10. If the Bills want to keep Poyer, they can. There is plenty they can do around the cap to ensure there is money to resign/extend players and get new guys in. No mega deals, but plenty of scope for mid range targets. It would be a risk getting rid of both in one year.
  11. Miles Jack was so late I thought he was pregnant.
  12. The question is whether she can play CB or LB?
  13. There was little or no wind when the kick attempt was made, though. The flags at the top of the posts weren't blowing around like they would if there had been. Still - the Bills Special Temas. Always an adventure.
