  1. It's bashing Edmunds to say the Bills could find someone as good in the draft?
  2. I'm surprised they haven't already. And I'm not saying that they are looking to replace him. But it is always a possibility that they see a prospect in the draft who might be an upgrade or a wash, which would give them significant cap space to bring in one big time free agent either this year or next. The problem, if there is one, is the unexpected shrinking cap.
  3. If there's any internal question about Edmund's 5th year, the'll probably wait until Monday after the draft to extend Josh to not make things awkward with Tre Maine. If they draft a MLB replacement, then they only pickup Josh's/ If they don't, then they do both.
  4. Same, but he had Jerry Hughes and Kyle Williams in their prime with Mario Williams and Dareus. That front 4 could wreck anybody. McD's defense is doesn't have the same talent and ability to get pressure with just 4.
  5. I don't think anyone on this board is obtaining power. But I applaude your actions to recognize the importance of diversity and actually doing something about it. I try to live my life focused on solutions, which requires trying to see what needs all sides have... But I can also get dragged into arguing with people who come off to me as bad actors. It's probably a lizard brain thing.
  6. I thought it was two steps plus a football move. Whatever a football move is.
  7. Is pitching the ball a football move, thus completing the catch? Still not sure exactly what the catch rule is now. Watched some old Bills games from the 80's and early 90's recently, and it was a catch if a player had possession of the ball for a single micro second while both feet were down. There were plays in one game where the defender knocks the ball free like .2 seconds after the wr caught it. Since both feet were on the ground it was immediately ruled a fumble.
  8. I never understood why wr's and rb's couldn't wear single digits. But wr's wearing 20-40's and rb's wearing 80's don't make no kinda sense.
  9. A 1st round CB will most likely start, pushing Levi Wallace to cb 4.
  10. I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination. A quick Google search found 9mm handgun ammo at various strengths. My thought on this subject is that there may be a good ballance between stopping power and lethality for police to use in the first few round of their clip that can neutralize someone, while making it more likely they survive in the event of mistakes. But have the round become more lethal after the first x number of shots in the event that maximum force is required. Maybe the exact technology with the right balance has yet to be developed, but it seems like a potential for reducing deaths in unarmed situations, while allowing the officer to administer true lethal force within milliseconds if needed.
  11. Lots of cops are using hallow point bullets. Hits center mass are killing people nearly instantaneously.
  12. I thought the number of murders in Chicago were enough to have the Feds come in and take over bc it is like living in a 3rd world country? Now it's the equivalent of worrying about being killed by a shark. Cool perspective shift.
  13. 500 killings of unarmed people by 750,000 law enforcement officers is not worth worrying about? That's around how many people are sadly killed in Chicago each year, a metro area with nearly 10 million people. You are assuming that the solution I am advocating would lead to more officer deaths, with no reasoning to back it up.
  14. Less than 50 officers were killed in the line of duty in 2019 while over 500 unarmed US citizens were shot dead by police. The advantage officers have on most armed people is their training, which allows them to hit their target. I'm not suggesting police be forced to use BB guns, but less lethal first round(s) that could save lives.
  15. Police shoot and kill over 500 unarmed people per year. Most of them bleed out because of the strength of the ammo. I'd like to ask the officer who shot 13 year old Adam Toldeo once in the chest if he wished his first round didn't kill him on impact.
  16. I hear that. Most cops are carrying 9mm handguns today with 15 round clips. Technology has advanced since the 80's. There are less lethal 9mm rounds that police could put in the first 3-5 rounds. It would take 1 second to get off those rounds and could give officers a check stop to ask themselves, is this threat stopped? Did I make a mistake? It could potentially save hundreds of lives per year.
  17. I'm not talking about the taser, and I don't think there was enough time in this situation to tase her. His clip carries 15 bullets. The first 5 could knock a person for a loop without killing them. Same caliber, bit not heavy metal.
  18. You can't really fault the officer for trying to prevent a stabbing like that in the heat of the moment. It seemed chaotic and happened so quick. It did make me wonder if police officers should have some kind of less lethal rounds in the first 4 or 5 bullets in their clips. Something with definite stopping power, but not guaranteed to cause someone to bled out in minutes when they hit center mass. If they need to use deadly force they can keep shooting, but if they made a mistake it could save people's lives.
  19. Ben Shapiro is distraught on his live stream.
  20. I made the mistake of reading the comment section of Ben Shapiro's posts. Tons of people rooting for Chauvin's acquital. Ben has been one of the biggest cheerleaders for Chauvin's innocence, reposting articles claiming he did what any reasonable officer would do... You have to be a sadist to think his sadistic actions were reasonable...
  21. You're clueless.
  22. Or he isn't buying the sadistic line of arguments that what Chauvindid was perfectly OK and legally justified. For all of the criticism of protest and potential riots, the right has some sick sick people commenting on why Chauvin is a hero and did nothing wrong. To quote the guy who hand delivered a box of doughnuts to the four officers on the day of the Rodney King beating verdict, they are heros because they are "beating the jungle back." You have to be sick to buy the defense argument that it is OK for police to kneel on the necks of handcuffed citizens with no pulse. And no matter what your political beliefs, if you don't recognize that a not guilty verdict sends the signal that it is OK for police to slowly murder black men in 2021, then your head is up your ass.
  23. I linked it to the right time, but maybe it didn't work for you. It starts at 9:34.
  24. Even Pat Robertson is sickened:
