Should had never lost to the Texans or the Rams. We had the tie breaker over KC when we beat them. We find a way to beat Houston and LA and we're going into the final game of the season playing the starters against the Pats and a W means the #1 seed.

So just the regular level of condescension and douchebaggery.

Sounds like you're the same condescending piece of sh!t or did you peek at your portfolio and decide to try to be an extra big a-hole?

Immunized. I got Covid for the first time a few months after my second "immunization." And you're still keen on defending the communist country that developed Covid 19 via gain of function in a level 2 facility.

Not surprised by the faux elitism. Hope you're not worried about selling the summer home on Lake Cuomo next to the Clooneys! Personally, I'm willing to recalibrate my spending over the next couple of years if it means a far more sustainable and ownable supply chain than the current system that is dependent on China. Communist China, the darling of Davos skiing socialists and Lake Cuomo summering, world government yearning, faux communists.

I'm sorry, if you don't know where that quote comes from and the context then you really have no idea what's happening in the world.

Not nearly the goal of the neo-liberal World Economic Forum, "you will own nothing and be happy."

Apple's moving iphone production to India. Google already moved pixel out of China. The exemptions were to ease the market and will be on the last few years of products made in China. The ball's in motion. It will be a three to five year transition before India mostly replaces China in our supply chain and manufacturing partner.

Other than the whole part of shifting our dependency on China for manufacturing to a partnership with India.

That's a fair point for sure. The last thing I want to see happen is for small business to get wiped out. Like mine did during the Covid lock downs. The market seems to have responded by coming back to levels just before the post-election bump. I'd like to see the roadmap to the India partnership and trade deals with non-Chinese partners in the Pacific hashed out over the next few months. Yes to more structure and calibrated moves, less chaos. My personal thoughts about the chaos is that Trump uses it as a negotiation tool. I completely understand why many oppose it. And I'm not saying it's the right approach. But I do think the jury is out as to whether or not the resulting trade deals over the next year, and the subsequent effect on the economy over the next five years will be a net-positive or negative. It could be great. There could be a disastrous recession. But the fact remains that we have been kicking the can down the road on the debt bubble for a very long time. And we've gotten to the point where the national debt doubles every 8 years. It's almost 37 Trillion now. It will be 74 Trillion in 8 years... 150 Trillion in 16 years... 300 Trillion in 24 years... 600 Trillion in 32 years and 1.2... what comes after Trillion? In 40 years??? The Obama/Bidenomics of the Democrat party is- debt doesn't matter. I don't know if comprehensive tariffs are the solution. But it's at least an attempt to solve the debt crisis rather than pretending like it doesn't exist.

Sure, when you start with the presupposition that everything about the Trump administration is incompetent and corrupt, then the analysis that the market will force them to stop with the incompetence before it does too much damage makes sense. But if you take a moment to look at the 30,000 ft view and avoid missing the forrest for the trees, there is a potential to A. Remove unfair protectionism that has been in place against US interests and in so doing creat MORE free and fair global trade. And B. (Which is more important) Recalibrate our manufacturing and supply chain in partnership with India in order to end our dependency on China. Both scenarios are a win. But I understand that it is impossible for many people to even consider that anything the Trump admin does could create a net positive. Everything must be interpreted in the most damning possible way in order to hopefully win the mid-terms.

All those Russ Brandon PR training camp articles, and heavy heavy drinking.

It's a feeling I've had nearly ever season since 1988. 🫣

A lot of truth here. I'll add that having a mid-season funk nearly every year while dropping games against inferior teams, causing the Bills to miss out on the 1 seed is something an elite QB like Josh Allen shouldn't be doing either. And losing out on the bye and having to play Wild Card weekend every year is another reason they haven't reached a Super Bowl... Regularly capturing the #1 seed needs to be the main focus of the regular season, which means learning to win the stupid mid-season games against teams like Jacksonville, no matter what and no excuses.

Looks like China has started to cave, removed reciprocal tariffs from about 25% of US imports: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-02/china-s-stealth-exemptions-may-amount-to-a-quarter-of-us-imports The lug head Americans rooting for "the rest of the world" to crush US are having a bad week. But they don't know it. And they will keep hoping for America's ruin. Hope those German bonds your financial advisors moved your money into work out in the long run. I mean, it's not like it's a country pledging to fund a forever war against a nation it depends on for its energy...

I admit, he's the pick I'm most excited about in terms of upside. I think he's going to make Epenesa trade bait at some point this summer.

I like them both as practice squad db's, personally. I think Hardy has a shot to earn backup NCB. I hope that Hancock locks down both backup NCB and #3 safety. Though that's a lot to ask from a rookie.

It's true that he doesn't prepare like Brady and needs more help. But Brady also had championship caliber defenses that held his opponents to an average of 20 points in their 6 Super Bowl victories. In the Bills 5 loses since 2020 the Defense has given up an average of 33 points. Giving Allen more help also includes giving him a championship caliber defense so he only has to score 21-24 points to win a Super Bowl.

You've missed the details underpinning the alliance if you think it's only about shifting cheap manufacturing. It's about mutual investment over the next serval decades in areas of technology, energy development and military hardware that will counter China's growth.

Exactly, Landon Jackson had a 2nd round graded and would have likely been the pick at 62... And then we got 109 back. So the move up basically cost 132 + 169 to guarantee TJ Sanders. And the Bills got 240 back...

I really hope not drafting Royals in the 3rd and letting the Chiefs scoop him at the end of the 4th round doesn't come back to haunt us.

He'll end up being the starting Free Safety

What about The Hills Have Eyes?

Agree that Amos was the safer pick. Harriston has a bit more risk due to perceived lack of size / ability to stay healthy. But higher reward with play making ability. Personally thought Amos was a prototypical cb in McDermott's defense. Here's to Maxwell's ability to turn the ball over and stay on the field!
