  1. Exactly. It's pretty simple. Limit the designed QB power runs and slide before contact in the open field when at all possible.
  2. Yeah, might as well start punting on 3rd and 10+ too!
  3. Yeah, nothing to see here... https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/01/technology/ai-google-chatbot-engineer-quits-hinton.html
  4. I doubt that the Marine intended to take the guy's life. He asked bystanders to call 911 almost immediately after taking the guy down. I'm sure he thought he was preventing a potentially dangerous man (which turned out to be true based on his recent prior assaults) from hurting someone. Also, we need to wait for an autopsy to determine the cause of death. If after a full and proper investigation is conducted, the police determine that this Marine was in the wrong and unlawfully killed Neely, then he should and will be brought to justice. And I agree with everyone else that it is a sad story all around. This Neely person was obviously sick and needed help. If cities were allowed to arrest the unhoused and get them the treatment and resources they needed, this vigilante wouldn't have felt the need to chokehold this sick man in the first place.
  5. To be fair, kids are generally scared of needles and need encouragement (or sometimes even need to be forcibly restrained) by parents or docs/nurses to receive treatment. I was a childhood cancer patient and wanted to avoid my chemo treatments due to fear of both the needles and the side effects even though I wanted to be cured of my cancer. So it's entirely possible that this little girl wants to be a boy, but is just freaking out in the moment.
  6. Barring an injury to Dawson Knox, I'd say there's no chance. It hasn't happened in 60 years. Also, when was the last time the Bills had a rookie 1000 yard receiver? Have we ever even had a "stud" non-QB skill position rookie under the current regime? McDermott brings these rooks along very slowly. I'm expecting a "disappointing" first 6-8 games of the Kincaid era with lots of handwringing from the fanbase, before he emerges in the second half and ends up somewhere in the 40 catch, 500 yard range.
  7. I like what Beane's done this offseason. Nothing too sexy (maybe Kincaid?), but we should be a better team for sure. Also, given how 2022 unfolded, I still can't believe that we are entering 2023 with Hyde/Poyer as our starting safeties and Hamlin poised to resume his backup role. And I mean that in a positive way.
  8. What incentive was there for Dallas to "dupe" or hoodwink the Bills? A fear that Jacksonville would take Mazi Smith? It's not as if Dallas benefits from the Bills trading Jax a 4th rounder. The whole thing makes zero sense.
  9. Nice signing. He's old, but he still looked good last year, especially down the stretch.
  10. I can already picture him bouncing off running backs 8 yards down the field.
  11. I'm a UCLA guy, but live in San Diego and catch most of the SDSU games. Love this signing. Shavers is an elite gunner ,but also flashed as a real playmaker this year in SDSU's anemic passing offense. The kid's receiving numbers are way deflated due to how bad the quarterback play and offense as a whole was.
  12. Good trash talk and celebration skills
  13. Well, that does it! Kincaid is obviously going to suck! Should have stuck to another zone CB or lunch pail DE.
  14. Sorry. Already nicknamed Gabe Davis "the Cooler" due to his penchant for drive killing drops that freeze our offense. JK
  15. I like the pick a lot, but I think we need to slow our roll in comparing Kincaid to one of the top two pass catching TE's in history.
  16. Yep. I probably caught 9-10 of our games live last year and the rest of them I avoided knowing the score and watched them later that evening with NFL+. I hate wasting a beautiful Sunday afternoon in front of the TV, when I could be at the beach with my kids or golfing with friends. I consider myself a pretty hardcore fan for a Buffalo transplant, but there were tons of games I missed during the Jauron/JP era. I didn't have DirectTV and going to a sports bar every weekend can get expensive. And again, the weather is always so nice in Southern California it would make me twice as depressed watching us lose when it was beautiful outside.
  17. I think he's a long time poster who only posts "YEAH" in all his replies. That's my memory at least.
  18. Sorry, I thought we were all familiar with the "wrong side" idiom. It means you've officially reached that age (in Hopkins' case - 30 years of age). When it comes to sports like football and basketball, players tend to decline as they age into their 30s.
  19. We don't have Zaxby's out here in California, but I've traveled in the South a handful of times the past few years and always find my way to a Zaxby's. They make a good fried chicken sandwich and the french fries were good as well. I don't eat much fast/junk food, but Zaxby's gets a thumbs up from me when I want to cheat.
  20. No thanks. Wrong side of 30. Separation skills dwindling. I'd rather take a shot on a receiver in the draft with a round 1-3 pick.
  21. Congrats on your recovery, brother! 👍
  22. This is the key point. It is a religion. There is no point in really engaging it at this point. You're no more likely to shake a Woke cult member off their beliefs than you are to convert a devout evangelical to atheism. It ain't happening. If a Wokeperson ever wakes up, they'll have to arrive at it organically through their lived experience (which is harder these days as people increasing live online or in the safe space of their "community").
  23. There's definitely some racist toxicity and indoctrination going on there with the younger edgelord types, but a lot of people I know are just frankly frustrated and exhausted by being called bigots or white supremacists for making the smallest argument that isn't in line with the current Woke dogma. If people aren't willing to engage you in an actual good faith discussion and immediately reduce any disagreement to racism, what are you to do? Some get defensive and try to prove their non-racist bonafides, while others lash out back at their accusers. An increasing number of folks just say "F it". If that (a WS) is what I am to you, then I'm just going to wear it. By labeling anyone who disagrees with you a racist (or Uncle Tom), you're devaluing the word and risk making it meaningless.
  24. For those calling the players idiots or saying they don't understand how they could do this, they must not know many problem gamblers. I have more than a few gambling addicts in my friend and family circle, and they have ZERO impulse control on how many, how much and/or what type of bets they lay down. Self destruction (and collateral damage) is their middle name.
  25. Yes, we are squarely in silly season here at TBD.
