A quick search shows Musk paid roughly $11 billion in taxes in 2021, the highest individual tax bill on record. But why bother with facts when being loudly wrong seems to be the goal? I think we should all take a break from paying into this rigged system to remind these people that the government should work for us, not the other way around.

What you said is objectively true. It's not debatable. Two "X" reactions is ironic. I guess the expression "don't believe your lying eyes" originated from life situations that are obvious to most, but a select special few.

I could be down for abuse like that if I'm lucky enough to make it to 74!

The overwhelming consensus I’m seeing, from other fan bases and from respected former players, is that it was the wrong call. Yes, the Bills put themselves in that position, but everything that happened before that moment is irrelevant. They were in position to win. The game was ultimately decided off the field. What makes it sting even more is the Adams call just 28 hours later. The league’s aggressive effort to justify this one only reinforces the idea that they know they got it wrong. The video clearly shows possession, a football move upfield, and a knee down. By any reasonable standard, it was more of a catch than the Adams play, and surely the Worthy catch we all know so well from last year. I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can watch that replay and not see that the ball only moves after it’s ripped out, after Cooks should have already been ruled down by contact. How was this not even reviewed? I’m not claiming the NFL is about to collapse or that fans will suddenly walk away, but history should serve as a warning. There was a time when baseball and basketball dominated in ways they no longer do. If the league wants to protect its credibility, moments like this matter more than they seem. The fact that these networks have paid shills in the booth to justify these awful calls should tell us all something.

Picks the worst times to be Mr. NotClutch

Never saw the evidence of the ball hitting the ground...

Catch. I don't see it hit the ground at any point.

I must be going blind, because I don’t see Eric Bieniemy’s name anywhere. Weren’t we told for years by media "experts" that he was a genius and the best head coaching candidate available, and that the owners were racist for not hiring him?

I still don't see a punch. It's an aggressive shove, or throw away motion. I guess saying it's punch sounds better to sensationalize his stupid action.

Pitts is taking this game over. He’s a physical specimen, the actual version of what half the board insists Kincaid is destined to become. He's younger, too. Looks like Atlanta has wasted his potential.

Because when the lights shine the brightest and the competition is the best, no one has shown the ability step up and own the moment. Gabe being the exception, but the coaching staff pissed that one away.

Careful, you’re making too much sense. People on this board actually think a “luxury TE” who was 24 as a rookie is some kind of up-and-comer. Meanwhile, there are usually really solid LB prospects available at the end of the first round. Dean went in the 3rd and has turned into an impact player.

"Up-and-comer"… lol. And calling another TE a one-trick pony? That’s rich. Glad you have a hunch with nothing tangible to back it up.

How old is Kincaid next year? Don’t worry, I’ll help you out: he’s the opposite of Edmunds. How much more upside does a 27-year-old have? He is what he is. No one can argue he’s not above average when available. He was a questionable first-round pick, and it looks even worse now when you see the production from younger, more talented TEs. There are players hitting free agency every year who can match his output. DK still hasn’t had a single season that tops what Gesicki has done multiple times. I’m using Gesicki as an example, not necessarily pounding the table to sign him, though I wouldn’t be against it if a player like him was available. What’s wrong with short-term deals for guys who actually produce? How can you look at the Knox contract and be ready to run that sequel again? If you’re cool paying top-five money to a tweener who struggles to stay on the field, I don’t know what to tell you. For your reference. If DK had similar production (19,20,21 & 24) we'd be thrilled. Gesicki has an AAV of 8.5 million. Goedert will be available in the off-season for likely much less than DK.

I voted to let him walk. I’ve said for years that Mike Gesicki brings essentially the same skill set for a fraction of the cost. And if you think this is a recency-bias take, go search the forum threads, I’ve been consistent on this. Why pay a premium for production you can get on the open market?
