Do you approve of the job Brandon Beane is doing?
first_and_ten replied to KentuckyBillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
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. -
Mini rebuild. Why is anyone that surprised?
first_and_ten replied to Blackbeard's topic in The Stadium Wall
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. -
Josh Allen Performance Yesterday..a Redux
first_and_ten replied to Rich Stadium Original's topic in The Stadium Wall
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. -
25 % of the way through, what does success look like for 2024?
first_and_ten replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
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.

Worst (regular season) coached game in the entire McD era
first_and_ten replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hey, at least McDermott admitted he made a mistake, right? 😂🤣😂🤣 I totally agree with this -

first_and_ten replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
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. -
The Athletic Survey: Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson?

Thank You for this!!! I absolutely agree!! -
NFL feeding itself to the sharks (Private Equity)
first_and_ten replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
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. -
At what point will he get pressure because of playoff failures?

I love the Lewis Cine signing!! This one could really pay off!! I agree with you that McD can coach up safeties!!

We can agree to disagree😋

Week 1 - Cardinals at Bills - Game Week Thread
first_and_ten replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Can't they start slow and still win?🤔 -
A fifth round pick from Boston College is a long ways from an undrafted rookie from Buffalo.

Week 1 - Cardinals at Bills - Game Week Thread
first_and_ten replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Under McD, we always seem to start slow. If we lose this game, look out, it could be a horrible year. -
Did you get the Sunday Ticket this year?
first_and_ten replied to Steptide's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was always able to finagle DirecTV to give it to me for free. To be honest, I hated trying to watch too many games. This year will be a much calmer season for me☺️ -
I just love this. Of course they said he was the most overrated. It's how he makes them feel when he runs them over and trash talks at them.🤣😂 They got their feelings hurt, so since they can't stop him on the football field, they go after him with this silly survey. Please give Josh some more motivation😇 Great post!!

Russ Wilson named starter in Pittsburgh
first_and_ten replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes, it's only a matter of time before Fields is the starter, then Mike Tomlin's great run in Pittsburgh will be over. It had to happen, and I believe this will be the end for him. -
I wasn't surprised that he was cut, but I was very surprised he wasn't brought back to the practice squad. Was he that bad in camp?
-
I feel like I'm waiting for the bubble to burst. Can he really be another Milano? I doubt it.

I totally agree. He's better than Trubisky Trubisky wasn't really injured. It's all a ruse to get White to tell the Bills all he knows. Beane is playing Chess and all the others are playing checkers. 😃
