  1. I'm not saying anything about Trump, what I'm saying is that it's a low brow tactic in a very dynamic situation that doesn't make sense. If Donald proved anything it's that Jersey real estate tactics don't apply to international political affairs. Foreign policy isn't a used car deal and the equating of the two is a poor comparison...IMO. I guess the other part that irks me in conversations on this topic is that we far outspend the world on a military that is waaaayyy larger than we would ever need to actually defend the United States against an invasion. Since that's what we do and we have this huge military and massive military industrial complex then we need to utilize it to enforce our will throughout the world in any given situation that we choose. We all benefit from that flex whether any of us wants to admit it. We live under its umbrella. If your view is that we should withdraw into our shell then your view should also be to shrink our military to a reasonable sized force necessary to adequately defend ourselves and that's it. In which case we should reduce our military expenditures and lower tax rates to match. If that's your position then the stance of "we'll take our guns and go home" makes sense and is a real threat. If it's not your stance or the government's stance (which I don't think it is or ever will be) then it's a bluff that makes us look stupid because the world knows we like our weapons and weaponry and that it's illogical to have a massive military that we're not going to deploy and use a huge persuasion throughout the world. I don't hear that from those who beat the drum of "we should withdraw from the world stage" and it doesn't make sense. If I own brewery and you own a cattle farm and we're having a party then who's brining the beer and who's bringing the steaks? If you want to bring the prime beef and I want to bring the over run lager and you think I should kick you some bucks to make it fair, let's talk about it. Don't come at me with, "well, I'll just sit at my house and eat steak then".
  2. So, you're equating the threat of the US leaving a 70 plus year old pact established after the last world war to ensure regional peace on the continent of Europe to walking out of a used car dealership?? Right, right...good tactic.
  3. Yup, but damage is done. Once a politician is given a free pass by the American people to do these things then they will always be done. We're digging our own grave. They WORK for US...it's not a common theme among the true believers from each party.
  4. I actually just looked at the forecast you posted...gusts for the last game were 20 mph above those gusts and sustained winds were 15 mph more. Not even close. This forecast is "just another November day" in Buffalo. JA won't lose sleep over that $#%*...neither should you.
  5. Unless it's a Nor'Easter it won't be anything close to the last game. The Great Lakes build their own weather. The only chance of anything close to the winds they faced in the last game is if there is a major system moving up the coast.
  6. Say it man, say it. It's the truth. One of the biggest issues with this team is discipline. Look for Belicheat's team to clean up their act against us next week. Can we do the same?? Coaching and discipline is a huge issue with this team this year. I like McD but he needs to clean up some messes that CANNOT happen if we're going to win in Foxboro next week. In other news, this is probably the biggest game we've ever played in Foxboro as far as importanc. Go Bills!
  7. Good win against a really good D and a much improved (from 2020) Cam Newton. I respect the hell out that dude after his effort today. Frazier dialed up great blitz packages today. D line played tough most of the day and made some huge plays at big moments by knocking down passes. Allen is so good that when he's not AMAZING people think he played poorly. That's a good thing. Only play I really didn't like was the sack when we were backed way up on 3rd down in the fourth quarter. Looked like old Josh, scrambling, ball switching hands...scary. I didn't even hate the INT too much. He's a gun slinger and gun slingers gonna sling. DB made a great read by breaking off his coverage. O-line got a really good push at times today, which was different. Motor played great. Brown is a rookie being asked to do a lot. 5 penalties is unacceptable. He knows that, the staff knows that, we know that. Hopefully he fixes that. Play calling was good at times and terrible at others. Loved the outside run game that was effective though. Good win...keep rolling.
  8. The real question is whether this accusation will start a cascade of "kicking allegations" by former players throughout Meyer's career? The "Shoe Too" movement if you will...
  9. This is exactly what happened. If you look at the replay from the pocket, which they showed last night, Allen throws the ball before the breaks expecting the safety to follow Beeze. He didn't and your point about the wind is also correct. Lots of failures last night. Josh Allen wasn't one of them.
  10. Right, I thought we would know by now.
  11. Oh he is...he asks very simple questions.
  12. So, is this the "court system" we trust or is this the other one?? Asking for a friend.
  13. This thread is why I come to this site...every day...every...single...day!
  14. So just some of the BS, not ALL the BS...pleeze🤪
  15. It is the NFL. You play to win and win as safely and securely as one can. We ran the ball and they couldn't stop us.
  16. And that's a bad thing?? Maybe they would just STFU and do their jobs then.
  17. Pretty great write up, as usual, but this one had some extra cheddar! I'm sooooooooo glad that you spent a bunch of time on this defense. It was SPECTACULAR last night! The look on Mahomes face was PRICELESS. Our defense held the most highly touted offense in the NFL over the last three years in check the entirety of the night. And when they moved the ball our young gun made a huge play. Super Bowl contenders don't really contend with no defense. We have one. We're contending😀
  18. Didn't read four pages so sorry if this has been posted. However, if you want to see how to honor Native American culture...look up what Florida State did in the late 70's with the Seminole Nation. It's the path to actually honor them, not some bumble farg white person attempt to connect millionaires playing a sport with a culture that has thousands of years of survival and history behind it.
  19. Mahomes was very uncomfortable with our pressure. Something I noticed on multiple pressures was the fact that our linemen were disciplined enough to stop their rush if it was going to give him a lane to roll out. He's like Josh, great when he's rolling out. We kept him hemmed into an amoeba pocket all night and he was very unsettled. It was a great game plan and showed a high level of understanding about what Mahomes doesn't do well. Our bull rushes were utilized to perfection to keep the pocket closing in and our ends were highly disciplined to keep his effective rollouts to a minimun. Also, literally can't say enough about what was happening in our secondary. Times that he did get out of the pocket he simply didn't have options down the field.
  20. It doesn't make sense to you that the DOD would mandate vaccines to keep a healthy fighting force? If troops can be back to work in three days instead of two weeks that doesn't make sense to you? Not dying from this disease is not the only reason to get vaccinated. Keeping a reliable healtchcare/work/protection/first responder force in place to do essential jobs is also part of it.
  21. Why no offshore drilling in Florida waters Gov. Desantis???
  22. yeah, teachers are power hungry traitors...that's it.
  23. His highlight reels seem to show a really good ability to pursue the QB after he steps up in the pocket. Lots of guys seem to be able to create the edge then can't get back to make the play on the QB. Looks like this kid can.
  24. Well head taxes on energy production are how they survive without state income taxes.
