  1. Another racist dictator helped by Bernie's recent endorsement.
  2. She'd better hurry up and start her campaign to get the most mileage out being a victim of political targeting.
  3. Keith will outlive the cockroaches.
  4. Perez swinging that sledge hammer.
  5. It makes a boat load of sense. Bills can swallow Foles contract this year, and it will be worth it if Yannick comes with it. Next year, Foles will be prime trade bait. Nobody wants to touch him with his contract this year. It's a different story after '20 season.
  6. This is ridiculous. The defense took a major step back when Milano was hurt. Whether he is worth $13 million is a different question than his current role and ability on this team.
  7. If you ever saw the Candidate, that would give you a hint. Perez basically told him that if he stayed in, his future in the next Dem campaigns would be toast.
  8. Hold on, I thought it was the UK that was supposed to be in trouble after exiting?
  9. I guess you couldn't find a t-shirt that fit over that head? BTW - good bye Mayor Pete
  10. There have been multiple hints that the trade was oh so close.
  11. Which always begs the question, with a resume like that why were you a bartender?
  12. Now that the mock season is in full swing, I'm trying to figure out how Bills will approach the WR position based on what they've done in last 3 years and also guessing on what type of WR is preferred by the offensive design and most importantly the comfort level of the QB. I don't think you can separate the last two from the decision making, and that can make a huge difference in the draft selection, even though one player may have better measurables. It's almost like deciding on a quality 4-3 DE to play in a 3-4 alignment. -- In the first year, the regime prioritized size over speed in filling out the WR roster, starting with the ill-fated Boldin signing, adding Holmes & Tate, drafting Zay and trading for Matthews. The midseason trade for Benjamin and the Logan Thomas experiment solidified the emphasis on size. Of course by then, everyone realized that lack of speed was killing the offense, and thus the late season pick up of Deontae Thompson. Part of the offensive mismatch was due to the ill fit between Dennison and the rest of the offense, but the personnel were ill-suited to execute the game plan, whatever it was. Next offseason with a new OC and a raw QB, Bills tried to upgrade the WR speed, but couldn't land anyone notable in FA because of the uncertain QB situation. The additions of Foster & McKenzie helped stretch the field, but they were still average playmakers. It's also a tough year to analyze given the revolving door at QB, yet Zay & Benjamin had the most targets on the team. In 2019, speed and elusiveness was prioritized with Beasley and Brown additions, and the offense picked up a step, with those two picking up far more receiving targets than what Bills QB threw to a pair of WRs in prior 2 seasons. Yet the O was still ranked near the bottom. So a quick glance at the above would suggest that Bills would continue to prioritize speed in FA and draft. But maybe not. If we take a look at rumors around 2019 trade deadline, Bills appeared to be in the market for Green, but no so much for Sanders. Then came the Olsen courting last week. Another hint was provided by the number of targets Duke received in the handful games he played. He didn't see a lot of snaps vs Titans, but received nearly as much looks as Brown & Beasley. In the last two games however, he was by far and away the leading target from the QB. The Jets game was probably an anomaly because Brown & Beasley sat, but it could have been a precursor for the playoffs in getting a bigger receiver more involved. Long story short, my hunch is that the Bills FO is still looking to prioritize size over pure speed, because they think it's a better fit for the QB and the offense.
  13. Cardinals just announced they are hosting a home game in Mexico city in 2020, opponent to be announced in April. That means London hosts to be announced soon.
  14. Palmer was far more direct about Josh's weaknesses than you think. He acknowledged his weaknesses with the long ball and footwork this year, and their plans to fix it in the offseason. As others said, he feels that Allen has the right mental and physical make up to overcome the deficiencies. Also notable is that Palmer admitted that Allen is further along in his development than Palmer thought he'd be at this point. He said that in college, Allen never really showed the capacity to take over games like he has in some of his NFL outings. That was surprising to Palmer and he hopes to build on that for the next season. Regarding the coaching staff, he made interesting admission that he has a good relationship with McD's staff and his offseason program is somewhat tailored to what the Bills want to fix and implement. He doesn't have the attitude of "I'm the offseason coach, and this is what I'm going to do with Josh, come hell or high water."
  15. Tell that to Walter White
  16. Meanwhile back to today's news, he wasn't cut https://twitter.com/FieldYates/status/1100738615863332864?s=20
  17. At least Bloomberg took the symbolic subway rides on his commute to work
  18. Countered by concerns about route running, technique, catching the ball and picking up an NFL offense.
  19. Isn't it the other way around? Analytics would rank DK at the top of the draft, but he failed the eye test for all the GMs to take him at the top of the draft.
  20. Minor correction, the pipeline doesn't actually "cross" the Trail. It goes well underneath it.
  21. How about running the text of the FJA email that's widely available, that disputes the USA Today narrative? If USA Today felt it was important to interpret Rufe's words, it wsa equally important to relay the formal FJA response.
