Correct, which is why I'm dumbfounded at the outrage directed at this particular possible act by the KSA, as opposed to anything they've done over the last 40 years

So which faction killed Khashoggi?

Again, that's a totally separate issue. Peterman outplayed McCarron. That is not the same thing as what they should have done to start the season.

Don't change the subject. Your point was that the only reason that Bills kept Peterman over McCarron was McD's infatuation with Peterman. That wasn't the only reason. Peterman actually looked better than McCarron in camp Flip the argument. Is it ok for an NFL vet to look mediocre against half speed defenses?

There's definitely something behind the scenes with Matthews. Falling out with his OC last year Falling out with his OC this year Team grants his release (and it costs them a W) Remains unsigned, despite deep WR need by many teams (the guy who replaced him and dropped the TD was signed)

I guess you're forgetting how McCarron got hurt in the first place

A bunch schmucks who were funded by an element of the royal family, would be the same thing

It wasn't just to the coach but anyone with a pair of eyes. No matter how bad Peterman is, he was far better than McCarron in preseason games.

As the saying goes, the Bills picked the wrong time to quit sniffing glue. A lot of the issues are due to the overlap of a new coach and a lame duck GM. We have no idea in how Beane would have approached FA and the draft if he were in the seat in January 2017. But overall, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until at least next year to fix the offense. They clearly have been able to plug the self made defensive holes much more efficiently than they have on offense. Again, none of the offensive woes would matter if they got competent QB play.

That is obvious, but I doubt Pegula will afford him that luxury past this season.

Is there even a question in whether they bring in more QBs next year?

And still won 2 more games than the all-star cast. Are you a FFL fan or a Bills' fan?

Dareus was a net negative for the run game, but probably a net positive for the "process" For all the crap that McDermott gets for hap clappy talk, he did get the team to buy in and turn a winning record with a subpar cast. I don't know if they offered Goodwin a contract, but they definitely made a strong push to bring Woods back. In the end, they totally underestimated his market value.

I'm not disputing any of that, but pointing out that Snead also gutted his roster of overpriced underperforming veterans. Yet his roster churn wouldn't nearly be successful if Goff didn't turn things around in his second year, or if a fluke injury forced Sean Mannion into the starting line up.

I still don't understand why suddenly there's an outcry over KSA's killing of one person, when people closed their eyes when a half dozen Saudi citizens flew missiles into the Pentagon and wired up WTC with explosives. Or was it because it was really Mossad, so the links got buried?

Those issues are more important for next season. There is the proper focus on Peterman this year, because the important people in the Bills front office thought it was prudent to go into the season with him as a starter, and then a primary backup.

This is it in a nutshell. Would be interesting to see how people will rationalize that Les Snead is suddenly a genius as soon as Goff started playing better, and ignore the roster & coaching churn between 2016 & 2017

What a difference a few weeks makes

The difference is the word marriage, which is historically associated with a religious procedure. Call it whatever you want, but not marriage. And BTW, you wouldn't be able to get a legal civil union contract in a church either, that would come from the City Hall along with the civil union license, which you still need to obtain. So if you want to be married in the eyes of your Lord, go to the house of worship. If you want it legally binding, get a civil union. On the other point, others handled it fairly well. You cannot deny services that you offer to the general public, on the other hand you cannot compel someone to do perform a special service that's against your beliefs. Do you have the right to walk into a Kosher Restaurant and demand that they serve you a bacon cheeseburger? It's a restaurant that serves food to the public.

You won't be able to talk him out of anything.

Pasta salad was another in a long line of mistakes.

The veterans here have been down this road for a long time when the discussion was just hypotheticals 2 decades ago (geez I'm old). There were many supporters of gay marriage calling everyone else silly that allowing gay marriage in a secular legal environment would in no way shape or form would impinge on the religious beliefs or rights of others. How has that worked out? Sometimes you have to look at today's opposing views not as bigoted towards the discriminated, but as a forward view of what will inevitably come from the party that never settles for a win. In the debates of long ago, it was also argued that marriage isn't truly a secular institution and was coopted from religion. Very few people who opposed gay marriage opposed legal civil unions sanctioned by the state with the same rights and responsibilities that are given upon what are now called marriages.

Here you go, Sue.

When you play like you practice .... Infuriating
