We can complain about the pay and benefits of politicians or some stupid obscure expense but that is not a serious solution to the problem. Solving the deficit will require years of sacrifice by some segment of society. Proposals that don’t include cutting or changing eligibility for social security/Medicare, cutting military budget or raising taxes won’t put a dent in the debt. Failure to do anything and we just pass a worse problem down to our children.

For anyone who cares about the deficit, the Congressional Budget Office recently released a report analyzing proposals to balance the budget over 10 years. See link above.
If the Trump tax cuts are allowed to expire, and no reductions are made to defense, social security, Medicare and veterans programs, then all other non-interest spending would need to be cut by 86%.
If the Trump tax cuts are extended, with no cuts to defense, veterans programs, Medicare or social security, and 100% of all other non interest spending were cut, there would still be a small deficit. -

Same yards per carry and Harris has like 3X the workload… but you think they are the same? (Face palm)
You also have to consider the offenses Singletary and Harris played in. It’s safe to say that defenses were much more concerned about the pass vs the Bills resulting in more light boxes to run against for Singletary compared to Harris.

He’s the kind of back we need for our playoff games in the snow.

I think Sherfield is going to be a sneaky good signing. Looks like he is a good blocker, has very good hands, is good catching over the middle, has the speed to take it to the house, smart, great character. He had a late start to his position as WR and may just be a late bloomer. He’ll definitely push for WR 3.

Devin could easily be #7 on the list if we used him more.

Jets and fins are looking to be aggressive to overtake the Bills. Bean better have a plan.

Does anyone know if the quantity of drugs crossing the border has increased or is it just the toxicity (as in fentanyl and whatever other crap people use) that has increased?
The cartels have been sending tons of drugs over the border for decades, regardless of the number of migrants crossing or the war on drugs. If one way is stopped, they will find another way. As long as there is a demand by stupid Americans, they will feed it. Resources would be better spent on locking up dealers, education, addiction treatment and prevention programs. As far as immigration goes, there are powerful forces on both sides of the aisle that want to keep the issue just the way it is.

I think Washington could be a great selection. Bean likes traits and is looking for a mismatch type player. He may be gone before our 1st round selection.

EJ Manuel has reappeared as a commentator on NFL Network talking the combine. Glad to see he found a career for his skill set.

The Bills need a big WR with speed.
Good, big and fast might not be available in the draft this year. Most experts say this years WR class doesn’t have that alpha type receiver we have seen in most recent drafts. That’s why I’m leaning towards a bigger physical type receiver like Mingo. No smurfs.

Tyreek had a 4.29.

Greg Cosell mentioned Ole Miss WR Jonathan Mingo as an intriguing prospect. He is a big physical style WR who we could possibly pick in 2nd or 3rd rounds. Just something to consider….

Diggs sounds like he is playing head games with his ambiguous tweets. I am left wondering who the messages are intended for. Josh? Bean? Fans? He could immediately end any speculation by saying an affirmative statement but he chooses not to.

She did nothing visibly wrong in this video. It appears that she was trying to help the guy before he tries to take her gun. He got the wrong end of what he wanted. There shouldn’t be an expectation for the woman who was assaulted to provide first aid to the male aggressor. She was likely in shock over the event and urged others to call police. Her best line was “and now I have to go to work….”.

It might feel like 20% but it’s probably closer to 1%. the margins are so thin, even between the best and worst teams, in the NFL a few “lucky” bounces can make all the difference in outcome.
had an interesting conversation during the superbowl about this topic. I’m surprised with all the metrics around that someone hasn’t quantified it. (Maybe they have, I’m too lazy to look)
Sounds like you agree it is much more than 1% of the formula for playoff teams. One of these seasons, Lady Luck will shine on the Bills. With all the adversity the team dealt with, this was definitely not the year.
-
I think luck is an important 20% of the formula. The other 80% is the decisions and actions of GM, coaches and players. It’s all needed and all important to win the last game of the season.
I always remember David Tyree’s helmet catch to help the Giants win the SB. That’s luck and skill combined.

I hate sayin this but it seems that Dorsey is the weak link in our offense. Even if we fix the O line, how long will we have to wait till Dorsey is able to bring championship caliber strategy to our offense? When does Josh ever have an open receiver to throw to? Would Dorsey ever lean into a run game if we did fix the O line? I also think Josh benefits from some tough coaching a bit and Daboll would do that.

Eagles proficiency is entirely in their o line technique. I don’t see any other team drive block so low on sneaks. It’s crazy.

Thing is… if the refs can spend 10 minutes examining 30 camera angles to determine if a catch was made in the second quarter. Why can’t they take a minute to determine if a penalty was correct in the final 2 minutes?
All us fans want is the correct call made without refs tilting the game one way or the other.

Our Budget Deficit

I think the actual number is about 60% of households pay taxes. The point is still valid though. It’s not just the bottom income brackets that aren’t paying too. I also think if you’re not paying into SS or Medicare, you shouldn’t be eligible for benefits.
