Innocent child? Give me a ***** break. The kid's still a scumbag.
Once again proving my point that politics rules your life. He was innocent at the time and had no desire to be famous, please explain how he was a scumbag?

If there is going to be no Winston at all they will have to go full Tebow. It can be successful for the short term, long grinding drives, built to simply turn the game into as few drives as possible

"stating completely false information" is going way overboard in the opposite direction. If you read the article, there really isn't much that's "false" there. It includes statements from the parties and a reporting of events. Regardless of that they went and added further context and redactions, as they always do.
Integrity is being able to admit when you were wrong and not letting emotions get the best of you. The reason that the NYT is a gold standard of journalism is for those reason among others, including their dedication to research and evidence based approach to writing.
The difference between media that caters to the right wing and everybody else is that you'll never see them do that. You'll very rarely even see them say a negative thing about their own team. Fox is doing it lately, but like I mentioned previously, that's probably a gambit. They position themselves, and by extension the people that consume their content, as an "us against the wonder" proposition. I understand that you may feel that other media outlets are biased because of how negatively they report on Republicans. Be assured, they report negatively on Democrats and Independents as well, but I don't think you appreciate how many awful things that Trump, McConnel and the rest of the Republican party do on a regular basis. If you're deep in it, it can be hard to gain perspective, but for those of us that aren't in the MAGA cult, it's been a nonstop horrorshow. Every single day for the last 4 years has been chaos, and I'm just happy that we'll soon get back to normal.The fact you defend them slandering an innocent child is all I need to know about you as a human being. You put politics above all else including the destruction of good people. But the NYT is not the gold standard anymore to anyone outside NY, intelligent people go to multiple sources all across the spectrum because they all have there own bend.

And where did you get this characterization, other than in your own mind? As an independent, here's mine:
Kenney: deified because of the assassination; not a great president by any means, almost got us into WWIII because of his botching the Bay of Pigs
Johnson: pioneered civil rights; war on poverty which had its good and bad points; terrible job on Vietnam
Nixon: would have gotten more credit if he not been, in fact, a crook; he should have been convicted and sent to jail for what he did
Ford: a good man in a bad position, should never have pardoned Nixon nor should never have said Poland was not under Soviet influence, would have been re-elected if not for those
Carter: a good man who was totally unqualified for the job; a better post-presidential than presidential impact
Reagan: deserves a lot of credit for ending the Cold war, deserves a lot of criticism for promoting the supply side economic theory that has never worked to this day
Bush Sr: a good man, should have been re-elected; holding him accountable for raising taxes when needed was ridiculous
Clinton: pretty good on some domestic policies such as scaling back welfare, his personal habits tarnish whatever legacy he has; should have been both impeached and removed for perjury
Bush Jr: will always give him credit for holding the country together after 9/11, will always give him negative marks for falsifying reasons to go into Iraq, for the horrible response to Katrina, and for the economic implosion in 2008.
Obama: History maker, pretty good on social policy, terrible on foreign policy - never draw a red line that you then won't cross
Trump: a disaster; wanted to turn a democracy into a dictatorship; should have been impeached and removed for obstruction, violation of the emoluments clause, you name it.
I will question you on several of your statements- how was Bush responsible for the 2008 implosion? He spoke out against the mortgage policies that were the main driving force of it and simply did not fight congress. Congress is to blame.
How is Obama less a dictator than Trump? With DREAMER act he did what he had previously said could only be done through congress, not to mention that he was ruled unconstitutional more often than any other president in modern times? I am not in love with Trump but seriously how is he a dictator.https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/obama-has-lost-supreme-court-more-any-modern-president

Who's a liberal?
Did they correct the story when they got more information?
Edit: they did. There are no lies or dishonesty here. This is what a credible news source looks like. Read an article from Fox about Breonna Taylor or find me a Trump quote where he said he was wrong.
"Interviews and additional video footage have offered a fuller picture of what happened in this encounter, including the context that the Native American man approached the students amid broader tensions outside the Lincoln Memorial. Read the latest article here."
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/19/us/covington-catholic-high-school-nathan-phillips.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimesThey wrote a front page article knowing full well that there was a fuller video available, without contacting the school, and plastered a child's face all over the place stating completely false information. This is one you should let die because it is immoral and unethical to slander a child without even mentioning it not even reaching the lowest bar of journalism.

The 1619 project? Ummm...no slavery did happen.
And Trump did seek Russian help.
Tibs I can deal with the fact that you sometimes cherry pick info but to flat out lie like this about the 1619 project is pathetic. The entire structure of the 1619 project is fundamentally a lie, initially stating it was the history of the USA and finally admitting it was simply a narrative, or in a more common term, a story.

Can you make an evidence based claim that NYT has done the same?I have one more that at minimum shows they are dishonest and incompetent- Nick Sandmann was a 16 year old kid who was bothering no one when a piece of crap dude tried to provoke a response from him and his school. Sandmann in this case was the good guy for not punching out a man who put a drum in his face for no reason. The NYT headline for the event initially "Boys in ‘Make America Great Again’ Hats Mob Native Elder at Indigenous Peoples March" where the true part was what he wore. The NYT would destroy an innocent child with lies to promote a narrative. If you disagree please let me know what I missed.

Can you make an evidence based claim that NYT has done the same?I can't do the research right now but since the NYT printed literally thousands of stories about the Russian collusion and probably another thousand that were 100% wrong about spying on Trump, not to mention the 1619 project until they admitted it was a narrative not history I am quite certain I could come up with 20k worth of dishonesty if I tried. I will finally state on multiple of Trump's lies are simply disagreement of opinion. The greatest economy ever is an opinion, the best testing record is opinion, and least racist person is opinion. But the "best testing record" is of interest to me Bill- which country has a better testing record than us? Only two countries have test more people per capita and both of them are much smaller. So please understand when I don't care what your opinion is because it clearly is formed from ignorance.

I expect 5-1 but 6-0 to me is more likely than 3-3. Really I think we wrap up division in NE and might rest all to get ready for playoffs

The NYTimes has credibility, imo, Trump has none.
So you have decided you have received enough bad information from Trump that whatever he says not worth even checking. I feel the same way about the NYT, facts are not as important to them as narrative.

If it was not clear I was pointing out that the OP is ignorant of those 4 things. You supported me well, but not sure if you thought I was arguing opposite

There are several basic premises of this thread is that are hilariously ignorant: 1) good businesses do not make mistakes, as can be proven by the Edsall, the Apple Newton, and Kodak dominating the camera digital camera industry
2) that the people in media feel that their first job is to be honest and factual, not to tell a story
3) that getting clicks on a story is not more important than facts
4) that 90% of the MSM is not extremely liberal and therefore no one is there to check their bias.

I have thought too much about why I was not bothered by that game and have several reasons: 1) we rarely play well on the west coast 2) Cardinals were the much more desperate team 3) the Cardinals are a really good team 4) we did not play well for long periods of time 5) Josh still made the plays to win it in the final minutes 6) most importantly, Hopkins made the kind of play that happens a few times a year that is more luck than anything. For all these reasons I do not believe this game will cost us the division.

They should beat the Chargers to go 8-3. You can also say they should beat Denver as well. The rest of the schedule will be tough. Road games at NE and SF are challenging. Pitt is obviously a tough game. Miami could be for the division. I see 4-2 or 3-3 as a worse case scenario. I have them at 10 or 11 wins. I think they beat LAC, DEN, split the NE and SF games, lose to Pitt, beat the fish.
You and me are not far off of each other, I think we are clearly better than NE and SF is so beat up we win there also. If SF had Kittle and whole team it would be different.
-
Basically we want to root for Raiders and Colts to win their divisions because we have tie breaker on Raiders and Colts because we could have the tiebreaker over them depending on rest of season. Right now a ton of moving pieces but we know a few teams we have tiebreaker on and a few we dont- Chiefs and Titans.
-
As you have pointed at we are 7-3 having already played the toughest part of our schedule. It is almost like the reverse of last year when I told my wife I expect 7-3 to become 10-6. I expect 7-3 to be 12-4.

With him cost is the bigger issue than play, he is at the age where he will not be able to be relied on to be good every play. I don't know what he is worth but he still makes plays.

If Brian was on our team now he would be far from our best player. I think this is kind of a silly argument. We don't want to get a better punter cuz he might be our best player so we'll stick with a mediocre one instead.
I kinda figured if 2 guys stopped and waited for the football 🏈to land at the 10 that that was the plan and Bojo kicked it further. I suppose that could not be the case but it has happened more than once.
They stopped because the returner was there, they were unaware of where was the ball was, also if he can drop at an exact point then they would aim for the around the 5 not the 10 or 12. Also my comment about Moorman is more along the lines of who remembers great punts 10 years later?

I'm gonna have to disagree on this. I saw a punt I think was in Seahawks game where the 2 coverage guys came down and stopped at the 12 yard line expecting it to land there but the football 🏈 landed on the 3 and bounced into the EZ. That's Bojo out kicking his coverage. Happens frequently. He doesn't seem to have much control over how far it goes or where it lands.
And as far as all punters shanking some, I don't recall any Brian Moorman shanks.
Do you think we should just settle for mediocrity now that Moorman is retired?
I am not sure if you understand the term out kicking your coverage- if they stop at the 12 but could have been at the 3 then he did not out kick it but the coverage guys stopped early. Out kicking your coverage means a punt where the return man has an opportunity to return it without pressure. As for Moorman I don't remember any of his punts, good or bad, because I don't want to return to days of our punter being our MVP.

The best moment was when my brother in law texted me how bad the calls were, he is not a Bills fan but thought the refs were worse than normal.

If it continues we can cut him but it was one bad punt on the year. Also several people have blamed him putting in the end zone but our punt coverage people are not getting down there to down it, he had at least one land at the 5 and then bounce in.

How can anyone not be optimistic? Our first two losses were to really good teams with more rest than us and this loss was to a really good team that needed a hail mary to beat us, while we had our 4 and 5 string CB on the field most of the day. We have 6 weeks to work out the kinks but in the Playoffs we have a good chance against everyone
How many players would you trade Josh Allen for straight up?

All things considered no one but if contract was not an issue Mahomes and Wilson. Though Josh might make me reconsider even those two someday.
