His premises are incorrect. When you realize his premises are incorrect, it is easy to dismantle his argument. He states that a step back is, "inevitable." This is not a factual statement, and therefore the rest of his argument is false. This is basic logic.

Colton Schmidt is the player of the week! https://thespringleague.com/?p=6137

I'm a manager at my day job. I take leadership very seriously, and it is very difficult to do well. I look to McDermott as someone who does it right. He leads from the front. He's there for his people both personally and professionally. His message is consistent. He treats everyone the same. He preaches love of your fellow teammate. You have no idea how hard all that stuff is to do, but I guarantee you've all had bad managers who either couldn't pull it off, or didn't even try. Cheers to McD.

Want instant publicity? Say something negative about Buffalo or the Bills. Ignore him, and all the other troll bastards.

Maybe none of the 5th round choices are any better than any of the the 6th round choices. You get to the lower half of the 5th through the 7th and they are all pretty much the same, right?

Made the AFC Championship game last year. Found our franchise QB. Hit on a number of other important picks, FA pickups, and trades. Has shown they know when to let someone walk - Lawson, etc. Yeah, it would be silly to bet against them.

That's a lot of picks (I know equivalent to a 2nd) for a tackle who will want an expensive contract. Not having all those picks is going to come back to bite them, as those are valuable, low-dollar draft picks who help build a franchise. Brown is cheap now, but with all their other high-dollar players, how are they going to pay him? What if he walks next year? That's a ton for a guy they might not have under contract but for one year.

Maybe a good incentive would be that you don't need to wear masks on the sideline if you are vaccinated. It is outside, although you are within 6 feet of people. And selfishly, it drives me crazy seeing people who can't properly wear a mask. I know it is the OCD in me, so forgive me!

A strong 1 tech that commands double teams is key to a good pass rush. We don’t really have that other than Star. We have plenty of 3 tech, but we aren’t good enough at 1. We need to get one, somehow.

After Star, we're extremely weak at a 1 technique DT. I'm hoping we can find one. The way we rotate, there needs to be good depth behind Star. We saw what happened last year when he wasn't there. The D wasn't as good, and we had trouble getting to the QB. So that's what I'm hoping for somewhere in the remaining offseason.

Well that’s a really good point. Beane is a straight shooter.

could be, but I think Beane sees the value in spreading the cap hit out. Allows him to get paid, but also allows flexibility for the future. We’ve seen so many teams hamstrung from competing by the QB’s contract. One of the reasons the Cheatriots were able to compete for so long is because Brady kept his hit low.

Pretty clear to me this is for Josh Allen.

The NFL is very careful to audit the solvency of ownership frequently. I can’t imagine they have no money. Something is fishy.

Proud of him. It takes balls and humility to admit that.

Pump the brakes there, cowboy. Look, I LOVE Coach McDermott. I love his leadership style. I love how he cares for his team. I love the way he does things. Don't get me wrong. But Marv got the team to 4 straight bowls, 3 after losing the previous. It's really quite amazing when you think about it. McD has a ways to go before he's at that level. That's an historic level. McD has been to one AFC Championship game. If McD wins ONE SB, he will be royalty in Buffalo, and he'd deserve it. He will have taken a perennial loser and in a few years won a SB. Let's wait to see. I'm very hopeful, but let's pump the brakes.

Morons. I hope they never get to go to a Bills game again. Idiots.

You love that some drunk fans threw beer on a kid? I think that sucks. That’s classless and shouldn’t happen. This guy is right. That’s disgusting and ignorant. That’s not my experience with our fan base, but it should never happen.

I have no idea why people care about these people and their opinions. They are nothing, along with that Jones guy. Enjoy the winning. Ignore the loudmouths. It makes life better.

I think it is the sign of a healthy organization that owners / management champion for their people. Put yourself in an organization like that. How awesome would it be if someone took that level of interest you as a person, not just as a cog in increasing the bottom line? It's amazing, and I'm proud to be a Bills fan.

Looks like the easiest thing would be to have it be a Bills home game. Stadium isn't being used, and it is NFL-ready.

The last time a Democrat “won” the presidency while his party sustained a double-digit loss in the House was in 1960, during an election tainted by probable vote fraud in Illinois and Texas. Still, we’re expected to believe that Joe Biden achieved the same feat in 2020 with no skulduggery? Moreover, as Juan Williams admits in the Hill, “President Trump set a record last week by attracting the highest percentage of the non-white vote of any Republican presidential candidate in the last 60 years.” Yet we are expected to believe that, despite the worst showing among minorities of any Democratic nominee since JFK, Biden surpassed Barack Obama’s record-breaking turnout by 10 million votes? Biden’s “victory” seems even more implausible after an audit of his performance in remarkably predictive bellwethers. The Wall Street Journal reports that Biden had a nearly perfect record of losses in counties whose election results have presaged presidential winners for decades: “From 1980 through 2016, 19 of the nation’s more than 3,000 counties voted for the eventual president in every election. Only one … backed President-elect Joe Biden last week.” So, a candidate who campaigned from his basement lost 95 percent of these counties yet won the election? What of the fabled bellwether Ohio? Last month, the New York Times advised that if Trump didn’t win there it was over: Well, not so much. President Trump trounced Biden in Ohio, winning the state by 8.2 percent. Suddenly, AP demoted the state to a bit player in presidential politics: What we are expected to believe here is that the bellwether counties discussed by the Wall Street Journal and the Buckeye State have been left behind by the rest of the nation in the long march toward the mandatory lockdowns and mask mandates that Biden wants to impose on the electorate. In reality, Trump won Ohio and the vast majority of these counties because absentee ballots were managed transparently according to long-standing and coherent guidelines in place long before the election. The only bellwether county out of the 19 that Biden won is located in Washington state, which long ago went to all mail-in ballots and one-party rule. We are expected to believe that this is a coincidence. This brings us to ground zero for election fraud — Pennsylvania. The Commonwealth illegally changed its election rules before and during the voting process. Essentially, the Commonwealth Court and the Secretary of the Commonwealth ignored the General Assembly and the U.S. Constitution to rig the election on behalf of Joe Biden. The American Spectator’s Paul Kengor and Jeffrey Lord have covered this chicanery here, here, here, and here. We are expected to believe that such stories are conspiracy theories, despite videos showing Democrat election officials evicting Republican election observers from vote-counting locations and erecting physical barriers to prevent them from watching. Finally, we come to the Smartmatic/Dominion software that was used to tabulate votes in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. As this Fox interview with Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani reveals, this software was developed in Venezuela and banned from the U.S. a decade ago. It’s now been brought back into the country under the aegis of a subcontractor. Its major design feature is that it allows the vote counters to calculate how many votes they need to win. Jeffrey Lord has more here. The Democrats want you to believe this is a conspiracy theory. It isn’t. The Democrats knew they couldn’t beat Trump honestly, so they’re stealing the election. In the end, to accept Joe Biden as our legitimate Chief Executive, we must believe the voters hammered the Democrats in congressional, state, and local elections, yet decided to elect the “leader” of their party president. We must believe that he dramatically underperformed among minority voters, yet received 10 million more votes than Barack Obama. We must believe that virtually all of the reliable election bellwethers were wrong. We must believe that all of the elections in the swing states were conducted honestly and that the Venezuelan software used to tabulate the votes was secure. All of this beggars belief. Joe Biden may be inaugurated in January, but he certainly wasn’t elected president. I never come her and this is why. What a load of *****.

Nope. Pats lost, and would have won if Belecheck would have made different decisions. He was clearly outcoached by McD. Scoreboard? Yeah, scoreboard.

Bill Belicheck was out coached, pure and simple. The onsides kick was a bad coaching decision, as we were clearly talented enough on ST to recover it. He also put the ball in Cam's hands during a critical drive. Bad decision. He didn't respect our running game. Bad coaching decision. He kicked a FG on 3rd down to close the half. Bad coaching decision. He was outcoached. Period. Bills won, in part because they were better coached for this game. This will hurt some people with an agenda, but suck it up and listen to the truth.

umm, Morse went down on the 3 rd plat. Hyde was out. Edmunds is still hurt, but playing. Milano is still on a pitch count. Norman is out. Knox is out. Ford is out. That’s significant.
