All_Pro_Bills

Maybe its because I live in a place surrounded by a lot of Jets fans but I always get nervous when the Bills play these guys. The games never works out the way I expect. Yesterday was obviously an example of that. This team looks like it's lost some of their swagger and energy since the win over the Chiefs. Beating the Chiefs was an obsession and everything they did in the off season was designed to beat KC. Everything early in the season was done with the objective of preparing for that game. Once that goal was accomplished the team had a collective letdown as Mission Accomplished. But that's just not the goal here, and they know it. Losing a carelessly and sloppy game against the Jets might be just the right medicine and provide the fuel for the needed attitude adjustment to re-focus on the real goal which is the Super Bowl. They need to come out guns blazin' on both sides of the ball next Sunday

McD and Frazier are going to point to "execution" issues when they speak on Monday. And in many ways, that's a valid argument. There were countless missed tackles, bad angles, and missed gap assignments from start to finish. But from a physical standpoint the base nickel can put you at a disadvantage against an offense going with a bigger personnel package. Especially when you miss so many tackles and run gap assignments. Allowing that final Jets drive to move 90 yards down the field was just unacceptable. Sure, the offense was putrid but at some time during the season and during the game your defense needs to step and take charge and they didn't do it here. The coaches better figure it out fast. With the Vikings and Browns on the schedule at home the next two weeks does anyone here expect those teams to do anything other than what the Packers and Jets have game planned against the Bills defense?

Like you I'll go about life just the same. But the entire end of democracy narrative is absurd. Citizens voting to express their displeasure with a sitting administration to elect opposition candidates is exactly what democracy is all about. This is how our system is supposed to work. What Biden with his vote for us or else fear mongering messaging and the Democrats are pissing and moaning about isn't an end of democracy but rather an end of their unchecked power derived from controlling both the executive and legislative branches of our government. That's just simply the price to pay for doing such a poor job.

Curiously the Household Survey reported a drop of 328K jobs in stark contrast to the Payroll numbers. This divergence has existed for several months. Along with a labor force participation rate of 62.2%. My guess is most of the "new" jobs are workers already employed that are taking on 2nd or 3rd part-time or "full-time" jobs because of increases in the cost of living and the impact those rising costs have on their households. Not new workers entered the labor force. Hardly a case for strength. The problem the Fed is having is they started way too late in the cycle to address rising inflation and while their aggressive hikes will eventually have an impact there is a significant time lag between the rate hikes and their impact. To say they're behind the curve is an understatement and when they realize they've gone too far it will be too late to avoid a disaster.

I'd says the debate isn't settled that its already sexualized. Not in the sense of some sexual act but by a demonstration of sexual identity. Why else are men dressing to masquerade as women unless they want to emulate or be seen as a women in that particular situation? As the opposite sex. If its not intended to demonstrate or show some sexual identity or purely for entertainment why exactly have they chosen to appear like a women rather than dress, for example, in a Chuckie-Cheese costume and get the same entertainment impact? Which is assuming the appearance of something you are not.

Can you honestly say you enjoy exhibitions of men masquerading as creepy and garish looking women?

I think the core problem with how conspiracies theories in general are started and grow wings is that certain facts or bits and pieces of information either conflict or contradict or don't fit the generally accepted or "official" version of an incident or event. And when brought up or questioned there is a refusal to address them intelligently. Rather than provide a reasonable explanation there is an effort by forces in control or dispensing the narrative to dismiss or refuse to address inconsistencies and contradictions with "the story". Along with this comes a "kill the messenger" attitude by officials and power toward anyone daring to question them or perform anything resembling a neutral investigation. Which creates an air of suspicion and a belief somebody is hiding something. In this case some wishful thinking type narrative that the attacker is a fringe right-wing MAGA nut job unknown to the victim seems like a real spin on the likely truth. But just what it all is really I have no idea, but neither does anyone else here.

The problem with your argument is, that as is typical of you, the comparison you present is not consistent with reality as you "cherry pick" examples of behavior. How about some photo ops of leftist looting stores and starting fires? Denying reality and causing chaos are the two basic pillars of your cult's ideology.

Don't you think it makes more sense for Republicans to encourage Democrats to abort all their children so over time the problems and chaos their policies are causing will be resolved through extinction?

The only thing missing from Biden's Ultra MAGA Extremist rant were the audio laugh tracks in the background. Indeed, what a mess.

I'm not seeing in the story where anyone actually signed anything. Can you please point that part out?

Nothing here such as discussing "various legal strategies" equates to criminal activity. All it does is frame the thought process of the legal team and generally you employ lawyers to interpret and navigate the legal process, not circumvent or break it. All a big nothing.

Dementia, Alzheimer's, other neurological or mental impairment issues. But you'll never get any of the establishment boot lickers to accept that here.

I don't know. Nothing I've seen out of Chubb to this point in his career could be used to describe a guy performing at an elite level. This year he's registered 5.5 sacks with 4.5 of them going in games against Houston and Indianapolis. I think Miami acquired a good player that will help their defense but is he the missing piece that will push them to the next level past the Bills and Chiefs? I just don't see this as some deal like getting Reggie White or Bruce Smith in their primes. I think the Dolphins bigger problem is at QB. Not to say Tua isn't good, he is, and he's playing at a high level this season. But my one word to describe him is "fragile". He just doesn't seem to be a guy that can take the hits a QB is subjected to or stay healthy.

I call her "The Joker". She's always got that fake and creepy smile on her face. People that are always smiling are either phonies or nuts. She's obsessed with talking about abortion while surrounded by gunfire and crime as she's speaking in NYC. Maybe letting all socialist Democrats get abortions is a good idea? Over time, it will get rid of all of them as they stop breeding and multiplying!

There are just some idealists here that will defend every establishment figure and action to the end of time, without question, without yielding an inch of ground, no matter how absurd or disconnected from reality the narrative is that's being peddled. I'm thinking they're even more mentally impaired than Biden.

Chubb is a good player but is he "the" difference maker for the Miami defense? Is that enough to get past the Bills and the Chiefs in the playoffs? We'll see. He's got 5.5 sacks in 8 games. I saw mention of a very good pressure rate. But if you want to play the numbers game like most of the so-called experts, they could have got former Bill Jerry Hughes in free agency without surrendering any draft picks. Sure, he's older but he's got 5.0 sacks in 7 games and more TFL's than Chubb. But there's no way anybody would be talking Miami in the Super Bowl if they pulled the trade for Jerry instead of the big splash move.

This is no home run but what the Bills need is only incremental improvement. Maybe Hines gets 6 to 8 touches a game but replace those 1 yard carries with 3 or 4 yard gains and a few catches out of the backfield for a first down or two and that can be an extra 7 points on a successful drive and the difference between winning and losing against the better teams on the schedule and in the playoffs.

I agree with a lot of this but the game reminded me the New England game last year. As for a defensive game plan wouldn't it have been smarter to go 4-3-4 instead of the base nickel in order to take away the run and force Rodgers and the Packers to pass? Why allow them to control the ball and control the clock and basically execute the offensive game plan they developed for the game. Their WR group is limited in both talent and experience. Its rule number one of defensive game planning try to take away what the opponent does best? Instead they allowed the opponent to do what they do best given the circumstances the Packers faced. They won because the offense was just too much for the Packers, and likely any NFL, defense to contain. Even on what you can argue was an off night for Josh Allen. They need to be sharper and cleaner against the Jets next Sunday.

Given that you reflexively jump to the defense of any government or establishment narrative or person on every topic with a complete absence of skepticism or curiosity you're views are no less biased or fact-based than the people you criticize for be "divorced from reality". Frankly, I have no idea exactly what the truth or the situation is here but it appears from some specific facts (like snippets from the 911 call recording with Paul characterizing the attacker as "a friend", and what I understand was a 3rd person inside the home that opened the door for police, or suggestions both the victim and the attacker were in their underwear when police arrived) to be far from the standard home invasion by some right-wing nutjob story the press is trying to peddle to us all. A skeptic might be suspicious they might be running interference to avoid the truth. As truth most times is the enemy of power.

On the news this morning a reporter stated authorities are still struggling to identify the motive. As you mention, most likely to fulfill the need to associate the attacker with some fringe element or belief. When the explanation is the guy is a mentally impaired psychotic drug addict suffering from hallucinations and paranoia that heard "voices" telling him to attack the Speaker. The lesson is there are a lot of people out there that need support and assistance with mental health issues and many of them are also a danger to others. Current society prefers to ignore the problem and bend reality in order to portray their behavior and lives as "normal", while throwing them on the street and expects them to function. .

Free to be dumb and also on the government payroll. What else would anyone that depends on a government funded paycheck say? Do some digging and you'll find almost every ardent war hawk that tweets similar sentiment are either directly or indirectly compensated in one way or another by assuming these views. Its got little to do with supporting democracy and almost everything to do with making a buck.

The campaign, not the police, later released a photo of a suspect.

Why? Because as the very same people that are breaking the rules are also responsible for enforcing them, they can ignore the rules and also get away with it by blocking any investigations afterward while calling anyone that raises objections an election denier.

And I see a 3rd place spot for the Rams in the NFC West by that point in the season.
