Donuts and Doritos

Who?

Yeah sounds right. So they can't officially report it until after practice per Matt Parrino below:

Dissatisfied not hated. As Greg Cossell pointed out from film study, he did not scheme receivers open, no picks or rubs, it was line up 1 on 1 & beat your guy. This doesn't help Diggs get off double teams, & the other receivers couldn't consistently win. Didn't take pressure off Josh w/ easy throws it was a lot of 20 yard chucks. For example the infamous 2nd & 3 pass 30 yards deep to Davis incomplete, line up & do the exact same play with the same results & a punt. Several analysts said the schemes were elementary not very exotic & you could see it in the field. Multiple receivers in the same area happened a lot, if it was player error he didn't fix it, but the film & consistency sure made it looked like part of the plan. There also seemed to be a disconnect between weapons Beane got & Dorsey's usage of them. Hynes & Shakir barely got used, Knox resigned & his targets went down. The result was it was all on Josh. & He never adjusted. Yes there were injuries & poor performances which absolutely contributed, it's not all on Dorsey by any means, but the schemes didn't adjust to help the players with any of that to the degree that it should have. & It's showed. In the playoffs they put up 10 pts against Cincinnati, 10; & needed 2 kick returns to beat the Pats; & looked sloppy against the Phins (7 sacks, 3 ints & a fumble). Now, they looked off the season before under Daboll at points too, but Daboll adjusted & after the Tampa game figured out the fix, then the O was lights out in the playoffs against NE & KC. Hopefully it's a first year learning curve & he comes back improved & ready. & Yes the players need to improve & stay healthy too. So it's not hate, it's trying to have a realistic assessment of strengths & weaknesses.

Dorsey will be the fall guy for a failed 2023. But McD is last man standing for a failed 2024. Though the Pegulas may not see it that way & keep on going with McD even past then.

Per Mike Catalana, he spoke with Diggs' agent who said Diggs will be at work tomorrow.

Ring...Ring...Ring...RING!!!!

Maybe he overslept, Or he had the time written wrong, Or the power went out resetting his clock, Or his bathroom sprang a leak, Or his car wouldn't start, Or traffic was really bad, Or his goldfish was sick, Or his dog ate the paper he had the minicamp info on, Or GPS got him lost on his way, Or Jehovah's Witnesses came to the door as he was trying to leave. I mean any of those things could be the reason. My boss didn't buy any of them either. But there's a chance.

So much for rehabbing his image into being a culture guy. & All the Josh is "my guy... He's my dog". Just torched it. What's his end game, a trade?

In NY the police need Reasonable Suspicion that they can articulate to stop a car (ie: speeding, fail to signal, or they have a reason to believe the car has something wrong with it, among other possible reasons). Then they can speak with the occupant. They can't search the car, it's passengers or contents unless they then have developed further Probable Cause. This can come from something said by the occupants or something observed. For example if they see drugs or a gun in plain view they can search the car or if the person says they have them (yes people are dumb enough to do this) then they can search. Some states have differing rules on the scope of this, but the basic premise is the same. For example NY used to have the rule that the smell of marijuana means the police can search the car, it's contents (including bags) and it's occupants. That rule changed in the last few years & is no longer the case, unless they are conducting a DWAI Drugs investigation, then that rule applies. However other states may still have the older NY rule. For officer safety searches they have to have an articulable reason to believe there is a danger & usually they will have the person out of the car in that situation to get them away from any bags, start by talking to them & if they have a reason to believe there is a safety issue usually start with a pat down. Finally a driver could always just consent to a search. So in sum no the police can't just pull a person over and search their car, it's contents or them without probable cause, and if they do it will be suppressed in Court and the case likely dismissed. But if they get probable cause then yes they can search.

Yes definitely. Unless someone else gets it.

$5.5 million guaranteed. https://www.nfl.com/news/broncos-sign-de-frank-clark-to-one-year-deal

I have the same reaction whenever Brady graces the cover of anything. The difference is I'm right.

Ya know Beane was All In on Dalvin Cook. 😉

You're right, here's the full quote: “[Oliver] just continue to play the game as much as possible from the neck up. When you have the kind of talent Ed has, you have to understand situations that could mean the difference between separating yourself from the opponent (and saying), ‘I have to able to process very, very quickly so I can win my one-on-one so I can play ahead of the play as opposed to playing with the sequence of that particular play.’ “With Ed, from an experience standpoint, we need him to play ahead as opposed to with the tempo of the play so (understanding) situations, certain nuances with certain calls and understanding where he can take advantage based on his position (is important).” That's not a compliment or saying they're satisfied with his play. It's talking about areas he needs to improve. (Read the article the quote is from below, it's not just this board, but also members of the sports media that saw this as calling him out). Clearly they want more out of him. With the amount of pay it does appear they expect they will get it. Let's hope they do, it would be a big boost for the D this year. 🤞🙏 https://heavy.com/sports/buffalo-bills/ed-oliver-contract-eric-washington-comments/

Washington publicly saying to the press (not Oliver privately) that he needs to improve at playing from the neck up, is certainly calling him out. So was Beane saying he's "left some meat on the bone". (That's not how they typically talk about players publicly). They're clearly trying to light a fire under him.

Ya mean drive down his price? At $45 million guaranteed it didn't work.

Wow, position coach calls ya out 1 day, GM pays ya big $ the next. Guess Beane thinks everything's good "from the neck up" w/ Oliver.

Sounds like he took a wrong turn & now GPS has him on a road only God can see. Not that cryptic a tweet, GPS does it all the time.

Ok moving on to a deal with I-Hop. Yum. 😋

I blame Madden for everything this season.

No. No. No. 🫣

Looks like we're looking @ 2 WR. Marcell Ateman & Preston Williams. There goes the Hopkins 💸 JK, we've got tons of cash. 😳 https://nfltraderumors.co/bills-working-out-two-wide-receivers/

Woof. They throw like me. 😱

We're all filled up at guard.

So what if you fair catch beyond the 25, for example at the 40, does it go back to the 25?
