  1. I literally forgot Dareus existed today until about two hours after the game and heard him mentioned on WGR. MD has stolen millions from this franchise.
  2. Watkins was traded because GM Beane felt that a 2018 2nd round pick > keeping a wide receiver for one more year (a wide receiver that has never proven he can be counted on to play an entire NFL season healthy).
  3. It's the same unit that led the best rushing attack in the league last year and was #2 in 2015. But now they're "not good period"?
  4. I've watched the first two episodes and have the other three on DVR and the next five scheduled. Knew little about Vietnam aside from the 60's protests and it was a mistake and movies and stuff. So I've been looking forward to this since I heard about it in the spring. I'm loving it. Not quite to the level of the Civil War, at least from a emotional standpoint. But it's important to realize that it really began in 1858 when France invaded Vietnam and decided "the white men from Europe are in charge now." Nearly a century later the Vietnamese were still under French rule and were barely recognized by the USA until World War II when Japan invaded and the United States and Ho Chi Minh became allies. Minh praised the US as a champion of democracy who would surely help them end colonial rule. Fast-forward 10-15 years and one could say the Americans betrayed Ho Chi Minh. I'm not saying he was an angel and his political preferences were out of whack but the guy just wanted his Vietnamese people to be free of European colonization. Perhaps most interesting is that it was JFK who first knew that we needed to get out of Vietnam...and yet refused for political reasons.
  5. It can be both. Yes, Tyrod's mobility contributes to the time. But Tyrod also holds the ball way too long because he's slow to read the field, slow to react, and hesitant to pull the trigger.
  6. Because he held the ball for so long. This is true.
  7. Very misleading title. The OLine is allowing Tyrod the second-most time in the NFL to throw the ball. This isn't at all surprising. It's been going on for 2+ years now.
  8. Unproven is unproven. Good young players but people here act like they're sure-fire future Hall of Famers.
  9. I'll take this as a "No, I don't know what a salary cap is."
  10. We're talking about injuries. Why does there need to be a connection to his fracture?
  11. He had to leave the game for the locker room yesterday after his touchdown.
  12. Dareus is 10% of our cap hit at $16.4 million. Are you saying we couldn't spend that $16.4 elsewhere? I honestly have no idea where you're coming from here. Do you not understand what a salary cap is? How did Darby do in 2016? Sammy hasn't proven that he has the durability necessary to play a 16-game NFL season. He missed half of the 2016 season. Hence, unproven.
  13. So trading two unproven young players, one of which was on the final year of his contract = "dumping our young talent" to you?
  14. The current make up of the roster is irrelevant. If you're using cap space on players who aren't playing up to that level then you're wasting cap money and in turn hurting the team. See: Dareus
  15. That's why he hires people to make football decisions for him. This isn't rocket science.
  16. I take it you were a huge fan of the "we're so close let's sacrifice the future for the present" mentality we've been seeing running the Bills for the last five years?
  17. Are you saying Beane is rooting for the team to lose?
  18. If Marrone really felt like he was capable of taking that roster to the playoffs then he would have stayed.
  19. It means potential but it never made sense in this context because it insinuates that Lawson lacks natural skills and athleticism which we know for a fact isn't true.
  20. Just wait until they look at OJ Simpson's brain.
  21. The thought is that Cheerios cereal is more healthy for you than most of the sugary alternatives. Hence, better for your heart. I think.
  22. So you're saying they should've promoted Anthony Lynn as head coach? Because that's the only way they could have kept every offensive coach they could.
  23. Let's do it. Administrative assistant jobs don't count.
  24. Thanks bandit. There's was another one later in the 3rd quarter that was more legit than the second and third links there. I don't have All-22 or else I'd find it.
  25. I thought it was referring to Maggie Gylenhaal's character in HBO's new series The Deuce.
