This one game does not supersede risking our franchise quarterback's long term health. What the incident with Josh hitting his head on the turf this past Sunday tells me is that the concussion protocol is a joke. Another thing that I've noticed lately is that the refs are allowing some hits on Josh that would be a penalty if they happened to Mahomes and other quarterbacks. Are they protecting quarterbacks or not? Is josh being held to a lower standard because he can run?

That is true, but are You telling me that nobody upstairs saw what I saw? Are you saying they withheld that information from the head coach?

I hate to say this, but I see McDermott all over this "new" offense. Why is it so conservative? What would Andy Reid be doing with this quarterback?

Are we going to start talking about Cam Newton? I sure hope not.

Hey, stop talking about Mat Araiza. He's innocent, just ask him.

Good luck with that This brings up another question. Does Beane have the authority to fire the guy who hired him? Pegula is clueless when it comes to running sports franchises, so I doubt if he could answer this question. He seems to have a man crush on McDermott, so he's good with wasting a talent like Josh Allen with this offensive challenged head coach. After 13 seconds , maybe he deserved to get fired. After Cincinnati, he had to go. Look at the team now.

You're right, he seemed to be out cold for a couple seconds. He never should have finished that game, and shame on McDermott for letting him go back in. McDermott was negligent, and should be disciplined by the league. He messed with out franchise by putting Josh back in.

Yeah, the first 3 games gave us false hope. What really gets me is that KC is never in this type of situation. Why not? They draft far better than the Bills do. They won last year because of the defensive side draft picks. We draft Elam. KC is where they are because of great drafting. I just wish we could compete with that.

Totally agree with this post. Why were they not prepared, since the Ravens were so successful with these blitz packages? I dread what the Jets D will do to this coaching staff.

Since you mentioned hockey, how bout them Sabres? 🤢

One could argue that Josh should have understood that he was throwing to a practice squad receiver and should have just made it easy to catch , even if he might be tackled before reaching the end zone. Honestly though, Josh has never been the best deep ball passer.

Hey, at least McDermott admitted he made a mistake, right? 😂🤣😂🤣 I totally agree with this

I'm not sure if this was just meant to be funny, but let's get real here. McDermott has taken this team as far as he can. What the Bills need is an offensive mind since we have the quarterback. Just hire a D Coordinator. Hopefully a great one. The Bills are literally wasting Allen with this regime.

Thank You for this!!! I absolutely agree!!

So what does the private equity firm get out of this deal? -GPs(general partners) typically receive 20% of the profit after the hurdle rate is reached. Carried interest is taxed at a lower rate than regular income. -they measure their performance by how much cash they put into a deal and how much cash they get out. They prefer to use debt rather than cash, and like to put as little cash in as possible -they are organized as private partnerships, so they don't pay corporate tax on capital gains from selling businesses. -Dividend recaps : a type of leveraged recapitalization that involves the issuing of new debt by a private company, that is later used to pay a special dividend to shareholders Moreover, private equity firms can take out additional loans through their leveraged companies to pay dividends to themselves and their investors, and the companies are on the hook for those loans too. The share of profits private equity managers earn, carried interest, gets special tax treatment, and is taxed at a lower rate than regular income. The controversy surrounding private equity is that whatever happens to the company acquired, private equity makes money anyway. Firms generally have a 2-20 fee structure, which means they get a 2 percent management fee from their investors and then a 20 percent performance fee on the money they make from their deals.Basically, if an investment goes well, they get 20 percent of that. But regardless of what happens, they get 2 percent of the money they’re managing altogether, which is a lot. According to data from consultancy firm McKinsey, the global private equity industry’s asset value has grown to nearly $6 trillion.
