Given the recent "arm arrogance" diagnosis, I have little hope.

He did.
They went from red hot to zero degrees Kelvin.

We should have a nice pass rush. Run D is definitely still a concern.
I agree.
If you look at a number of games last year, before the Bills piled up points, whether by great offense or turnovers, their defense was gouged by big running plays.
Watch the last New England game in the first half.
I'm concerned about two things from the late season games, even though we won most.
Run defense and Levi Wallace.

Wait 'till the Lions start "kicking you in the teeth," and "biting kneecaps off."
That will set the standard.

I've always thought he was a bit too amped up at the start of home games, but he has also had to deal with high wind games at OP and that influences stats as well.
Seems homes games the last two years were more windy than in the past.

I think there's a clear reason why the Bills offense looks the way it does, and features a lot of come back routes.
Josh has a reputation of being a great running threat. DB's don't want to turn their backs on him because it makes it so easy for him to take off. They keep receivers in front of them and allow the comeback routes past the sticks frequently.
Diggs had scores of these catches last year, since the easiest open zone is the area you just ran through. Simply stop and come back.
Josh has the skill to hit these routes outside the hash with relative ease.
I think being forced to keep the receiver and Josh in the field of view because of the run threat is a huge disadvantage for opposing DB's, and really quick receivers like Diggs and Beas benefit, especially in scramble drill type plays.

I have been a Bill's fan for years. If only Ted Washington,was in the middle next to Bruce in those Super Bowls we would have trashed the Giants, Red skins, and at least 1 ounce to the cowboys. 263 Pound Jeff Wright, and swizzle sticks Walt Corey, cost us but also having a stingy owner like Ralph not wanting to pay players really hurt a team that could have been a dynasty.
Strongly disagree.
The Bills were better than the Giants and should have never lost that game.
They were clearly inferior to the Redskins, who led the league in scoring, were the second fewest in points allowed, and blew through the playoffs with an average 20 point margin of victory.
The Bills were not close to that level.
Tasker himself has stated that was the best team he'd ever seen.
Cowboys were better both years as well, just not by as much, but better coached and disciplined.

I doubt there is any bad blood.
He is in camp and this is a nothing story.

You need to be above about 45,000 feet to see the curvature of the earth.
It is clearly evident at 50,000'.
Mt. Diablo at about 3800' isn't going to get that view.

The way you guys do jury selection is slightly crazy to my mind. Allowing attorneys to essentially cross examine potential jurors to select a panel that they consider favourable to their case to me is completely contrary to the purpose of juries. In the UK the jury is selected at random from the population and someone is only removed from a jury if there are truly exceptional circumstances that render them incapable of remaining unbiased.
We kind of think the same about the way you "choose" your king/queen.
JK.

It's actually Route 39, and I'm speaking specifically of the view across Lake Erie just as you come out of Forestville heading west, about a mile or so past "Sheridan HIll". It's pretty high up by Western NY standards and you can definitely see something.
Shhh.
It's Area 52.

Maybe he is thinking this team is the death of QBs and maybe I want to sit out a year and apply to draft again.
Immensely unlikely.
Same thing happened with Darnold and others.
Jets and their top picks seem to have issues with bonus payouts and other last minute minute details.
I'm sure it will get done quickly and he'll be in camp really soon.

I wasn't going to comment in here, but....Oh well.
The standard formula for line of sight, which solves at what distance one can see things at the same level and not be impeded by the earth's curvature is:
1.22 times the square route of altitude.
It's what is used in strike planning to avoid radar detection.
If comparing two items at different elevations, such as when determining if the top of two buildings can be seen by each other is:
D (distance)= (square route of 2h) + (square route of 2a). Expressed in statute miles.
h is the object which is "looking" at expressed in feet.
a is the object you are trying to look at expressed in feet.
D is expressed in statue miles, height of h and a in feet.
Earth elevation differences should be taken into account as well.
Further reduced, this formula is:
D= 1.414 x ( square route of h) + (square route of a).

Nobody said he was a servant. The Bills gave him a chance and the fans embraced him. I just feel like it was a selfish move by him. He can go play for the Chargers then.He signed with the Rams.
People have no idea of family situations or other factors that cause career decisions, but in the long term, it is in the organization's interest to accommodate a player/coach friendly posture.
Lures free agents and coaches.
No problem.
We'll find another.

Sorry, but punters shouldn’t hold that kind of leverage.He had no leverage.
It appears that he wanted to be somewhere else and it was in the Bills' interest to let that happen.
They aren't indentured servants, and it is worth getting someone out who doesn't want to be with the org.

Never understood why they got rid of Bojo.The comment made was that they only "wanted guys who wanted to be here."
I think Bojorquez wanted to get back to the west coast.
See ya.

Also space related.
If any interested in astronomy, Saturn has been really bright overnight.
I was able to see the rings using my Celestron binoculars overnight.
Tonight I'll use the telescope for a much better view.

WNY still has a total population of over 2 million people.. larger than some states
None of those states have an NFL franchise.
DC is smaller, but they are a three state franchise and a much, much bigger market than Buffalo.
Though I haven't lived there since college, I love my hometown and the passion of it's fanbase, but it can't compete with a place like Miami for free agents, not in the demographic of NFL players.
I despise Miami, but it is what it is.

At what altitude will the pressure equalize enough to open the door?
I'm guessing 10k feet. That seems to be the altitude they use the most in movies.
No.
There is a pressure differential until the weight is on the gear.
Once that happens, the airplane knows it is on the ground and opens the outflow valve, reducing the psi differential to zero.
Only then can the doors be opened.
It also pre-pressurizes to a small degree on takeoff.
A few other things as this thing winds down.
Regarding this specific event, if someone messes with a door, depending on what they do, there will be an alert message in the cockpit. A screen will pop up showing which door is not safely latched. Depending on a number of things, and how that alert is judged, could cause a number of other actions.
Second, airline crews are taught to never assume that one event in the cabin is a solo event involving one person.
One misbehaving passenger is not assumed to be the only thing going on.

Why post just to say that? It either seems personal or snarky.
It is neither.
It's just that the exact same post was quoted and responded to earlier.
Sorry you took it as a slight.
I have no personal nor snarky emotions about anything or anyone here.

Unless cabin pressure is lost.
What?
The door is opened on every single flight.
That's how the good folks get out.
Airplane pulls up to the gate.
Gate agent pulls the jet bridge up.
Flight attendants disarm the slides at each slide equipped door.
Agent bangs on the front door to indicate bridge is in place.
Flight attendant signals with thumbs up through the window.
Agent opens the door from the outside, which is way easier than doing it from the inside.
On landing, without going into boring detail, the cabin depressurizes. It actually does this gradually as part of the descent schedule so you don't blow heads off when you land.

The door won't open in flight because of the design of the door.
Pressure hull aircraft doors are designed as plug doors - the door is actually larger than the fuselage opening. So it has to swing IN first, then rotate in some dimension (sideways or up) to swing through the smaller fuselage opening.
That was completely covered in a post 10 hours ago.

Josh Allen: Contract extended through 2028
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
From a long term fan's perspective.
Josh's per annum salary is going to be roughly twice what it cost to build the stadium.
The times....they are a changin'.
