Nice! I just posted the new Xbox series X specs yesterday and said I can’t wait to see the full PS5 specs. The new Xbox features look amazing. I heard Sony has some surprises up their sleeve to announce. Definitely Excited to see what they are.

And Diggs wanted out of Minnesota + seems excited to be coming here (from his tweet to Allen anyway). Shady loved philly and wasn’t at all pleased to be moved and it worked out. I have faith in Beane, McDermott and the culture they’ve build. I feel like our locker room can handle it. I’m not at all convinced Diggs is even a problem. If that’s the case I think him and josh Allen could be a really great match. Josh is willing to do whatever it takes to win.

Yep, and maybe Brady stays if they make this trade yesterday.

I think this is what sold him on Tampa Bay... he’s got his new chauffeur ?

I think the bucs make sense, and so do the chargers. But I’m not sure Dean Spanos is committed enough to winning for Brady’s liking. Sounds like the Bucs owner is willing to go all in. Maybe Spanos is too? But t would be a 1st. They do need to establish an LA fan base though.

This is my guess. Bring him in as competition for Stidham (who they reportedly want to win the job). Brissett knows the NEvsystem already, is good enough that he can start but no so good that he will keep stidham off the field if/when he’s ready.

I am as close to 100% confident as I possibly can be that they will not tank. #1) that defense is too good to allow it #2) no freaking way Belichick wants to only win 1-2 games the season after Brady leaves, so everyone is saying “see, the dynasty WAS Brady! Told you!”. and #3) Belichick is just way too driven to win to ever tank IMO. He seems totally consumed by trying to win championships. Personally, I think he wants to prove that he doesn’t need an elite QB to win Super Bowls. I think he wants to prove that it’s his coaching/system/method. The “patriot way” that wins Super Bowls.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Hopkins ended up moving from the AFC to NFC, and Diggs from the NFC to AFC. arizona gave up pick #40. We gave up #22. Maybe he didn’t view that 18 spot difference as worth potentially having to battle against Hopkins in the playoffs for the foreseeable future. I also read that BOB actually placed value on David Johnson and thinks he’s a great candidate to have a bounce back year for Houston. Hypothetically, What if they wanted Singletary + 2nd from us? Personally, I think I’d take the Diggs trade. Yeah, we may get a better player than Singletary with that #22 pick this year, but it’s not a guarantee. And I like Motor an awful lot. Plus the Bills already spent a year developing him and had Gore mentoring him.

Person who attended Sabres game on March 5th tests positive for Coronavirus: https://wgr550.radio.com/articles/news/person-who-attended-sabres-game-tests-positive-for-covid-19 hopefully since it’s the 17th this person wasn’t sick when they went to the game.

I heard s rumor yesterday that this was New England’s plan B if Brady left. Not sure if it’s actually true though.

Called this one (as I’m sure many of us did). It seemed pretty obvious that Rhule was going to build the team from the ground up.

Are you in any of the the higher risk categories? Are any of your family members you have a lot of contact with? Personally, I’m trying to stay home as much as possible right now. It’s not just the elderly being hospitalized by this virus.

I read that one of the things they’ve learned from COVID19 in China is that if you are 40+ and smoke, it raises your chances of dying by 8-10%. I’m not sure if it’s true, but either way, use it as motivation to stay smoke free!! Thats a significantly higher risk. Say you are in the lower risk category, 2.5 - 3.5%. Being a smoker above the age of 40 would put your risk at 12.5 - 13.5%, basically moving you into the highest risk category.

Not sure how you find out exactly which stories are being unlocked, but I figured I’d share.

I keep seeing people saying the Bills got “fleeced” on Twitter (not that I care) but I don’t see it that way At All. IMO the Bills weren’t getting a receiver as talented as Diggs at #22, and to trade up into the range it would take to get one of the top receivers in this draft class (assuming they’re still on the board and a team is willing to trade down to #22), it would most likely cost more than a 5th + 6th + 4th next year. And it would probably take better/more premium picks to do it (like a 2nd/3rd, etc). This gives us a #1 WR we know is plug & play. No rookie learning curve. No wondering if he can produce in the NFL. We know Diggs is a top tier receiver in the NFL. Im thrilled.

Is that the one you don’t need to plug into a desktop PC? I thought about buying one. You’d recommend it?

I’m not nearly as knowledgeable on this stuff as others in this thread, but I certainly feel like we should have at least been able to test at the rate other countries were. Every other country has tested at higher rates for the same novel virus than we have. And I believe H1N1 swine flu was a novel virus. https://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/background.htm

Bills still have a good amount of draft picks this year. 2nd (#54j 3rd (#86) 4th (#118) 5th (not sure which 5th they kept?) 6th (not sure which 6th they traded?) 6th 7th (from Vikings)

Arizona gave up a 2020 2nd (#40 overall) and 2021 4th + a RB (who the Texans reportedly valued and think can bounce back in their system). So the pick was 18 spots later than the pick the Bills gave up. Plus we have no idea if the texans were willing to trade Hopkins within the AFC. They sent him to the NFC. For all we know the Bills made an offer. Maybe they wanted Singletary + a pick? Or maybe the Bills preferred Diggs. We will have to wait and see if more info comes out in the future, but we can’t just assume the Bills could’ve had every player that gets traded.

They announced all the specs and new features of the Xbox series X and it looks pretty amazing! https://www.xbox.com/en-US/consoles/xbox-series-x?ocid=insideseriesx_Xbox_ema_omc_xbo_Engage You can have up to 5 games running at the same time and switch between them, resuming right where you left off (like paused in the middle of a race for ex). 12 teraflops, true 4K, 8k ready, 120fps 1 TB soils state hard drive for much faster load times and you can buy 1 TB expandable drives that plug into the back of the console (that they claim will perform just like the internal SSD) - Some games, like their Microsoft flight simulator, will use accurate real time maps of the world (sounds something like google earth).

Update

Beane said he didn’t plan on going big game hunting. So I’m not really expecting them to throw around big money. I’m expecting more mid tier and depth signings. or maybe a surprise trade. I obviously want to see Bills signings like everyone else, but I doubt they are going to burn though all the cap space they just went though all that pain (in 2018) to acquire. I expect the big money to go to Tre and other players the Bills drafted. (though I wouldn’t be surprised to see them go after Clowney with the past rumored interest).

Thanks, I didn’t notice that. I just saw a whole bunch of ads + other stories after that quote I posted and figured it was the end of the story. lol I wouldn’t say that. It’s obviously more dangerous for people with preexisting conditions. But People without preexisting conditions have died too. An acquaintance of mine’s 40yr old, otherwise healthy friend is in critical condition in the hospital right now with this virus. And the U.S. has one of the highest populations in the world of obese and diabetic people, things that put you in the higher risk categories.

Wow, the colts must really like Buckner!
