  1. Harris also said things that were not accurate. I am not saying that they should not have corrected Trump, but that they should have also fact checked her and asked her tough questions. If you do not like Trump like many don't, fine. I do not care for him either. What I do not get is why people would not want to see equal treatment and an even playing field on the debate. Regardless of how it is spun or justified, that did not happen.
  2. I am independent and was going to likely vote Kennedy before he dropped out. Trump had a bad night and the mods showed bias. Both happened, One did not cause the other and it is not an either/or. The mods on ABC news were problematic. Why was Harris not asked the same type of tough questions or corrected when she said something inaccurate? This is not just a few MAGAs whining, the bias of ABC news seemed to be noticed across the board. Harris shows a history that is far to the left but suddenly seems to be running on a more moderate platform. People have a right to naturally question why there was a sudden change in her views and the mods did a disservice by not pressing this. We already know what Trump is like for better or worse. A lot of Americans do not know much about Harris and had questions about her that were not answered. A good debate moderator gives equal and consistent treatment to each participant and that did not happen last night.
  3. I don't have a problem with the moderators pressing and fact checking Trump, but Harris was not asked one challenging question. We still do not know a lot about her. It was a disservice to the people to not make her explain her sudden movement to the center or why they were not doing what she was promising now. Trump was off tonight, but his only saving grace might be people seeing the bias of ABC and asking for another debate.
  4. Don't get me wrong, I lean conservative but am also independent. I will not vote for Harris no matter what. I just think that Trump has done nothing to sway the middle and independent voters.
  5. This was the Republican's race to win two years ago and I am convinced that any other candidate would have won easily. Now things are looking doubtful. This administration is a disaster, but when the opposing party handles their entire campaign like McDermott handles two minute drills, that likely means a Harris win.
  6. Things were looking bleak but they turned things around right after I made an rage post on Facebook about how the Bills weren't even trying.
  7. At first, I thought that we were going to see the Eagles game all over again, but the officiating crew was bad across the board. Both teams got wrong calls against them. They were flag happy for most of the game while strangely at the same time missing legitimate calls. The refs were flag happy everywhere. I watched the Thursday night game and the Bills game in full. I also watched Red Zone in the later games and during commercials in the Bills game. I noticed an excessive amount of false start and illegal formation penalties across the board. Hopefully that is just teams not being in sync yet. The problem with the rules in the league is there are so many subjective ones that any official that wants to make their presence known can singlehandedly slow down a game or make it unwatchable. Even if they are not favoring teams as some perceive, that is still problematic.
  8. Great turnaround, but I think that this team will have some early season growing pains. I will take every win that we can get with this tough early schedule, one week at a time. The Dolphins game could be tough, but I am counting on the fact that we have recently owned them to somehow carry us through.
  9. I am not too concerned about the offense because i expected some hiccups with the new receivers. The defense may be a problem. It looks more like a team lacking in talent than underachieving so far.
  10. The trades were as follows. Buffalo trades Picks 28, 133 and 248 to the Chiefs for picks 32, 95 and 221. Subsequently, the Bills traded the 32nd and 200th pick to the panthers for the 33rd and 141st. The players involved are BIlls-Keon Coleman-WR, DeWayne Carter DT, Sedrick Van Pan Granger C and Travis Clayton OT Chiefs-Xavier Worthy-WR, Jaden Hicks S, and CJ Hanson G Panthers-Xavier Legette-WR and Jaden Crumedy-DT Carter, Van Pan Granger and Hicks are likely backups for their respective team this year who may contribute more in the future, but this is really about Coleman, Worthy and Legette. I also do not like the concept of trading to a rival and giving them who they want, but if Coleman becomes a star, it is a good decision. Only time will tell.
  11. The running play was well executed by the Chiefs and any running back or receiver in the league could have scored on that. The catch was more impressive, but even that was blown coverage on the Ravens part. Still a great start by Worthy, but people need to relax. Not only is it just week 1, but Coleman hasn't even played his game yet. What if he gets 7 catch 100+ yard and two touchdowns? You never know. Lets give it at least a full season before we analyze whether or not it was a good move.
  12. It's an overly dramatic way of describing the simple act of cheering against the other team that any fan of any sport has done at some point in time.
  13. Chiefs 29 Ravens 27 The chiefs are down and driving with less than one minute left. The Ravens stop Kelce short on 4th down. One minute later as the Ravens offense is getting ready to go on the field......flag.......we see our first hip drop tackle penalty of the season against the defense and a 15 second shot of Taylor Swift celebrating in the booth instead of the replay. One chip shot field goal(with an offside penalty called if the Chiefs miss), later Chiefs win.
  14. In all fairness, the Chiefs other choice at the time was Ken Dorsey.
  15. So....Two Bills Drive..... What do you want to talk about?
  16. Let me go a level deeper. Ted DiBiase and Virgil were said in various shoot interviews to be a spoof on Ted Turner and Dusty Rhodes so the names were likely more than coincidental.
  17. According to Wiki, Sean Hochuli was an avid Eagles fan for about 20 minutes when I made an edit after the Bills/Eagles game.
  18. Toney cut?! Lets get it done Buffalo!..... Okay, I can't say that with a straight face, I am kidding. We aren't that desperate.
  19. Fast Freddie Smith is gone too. I heard the Patriots signed him to get some intel.
  20. My leagues have a lot of Bills fans, so most Bills players go about two or three rounds earlier than they should. For example, if Shakir is projected to go in round 12, someone will pick him in round six or seven. If Shakir fell to the right spot, I would definitely grab him though.
  21. I now see Milano as a wash for the year. As Tre' White in 2022 and Von Miller last year have shown, rushing back too soon does not always mean that you are going to get the fully healed and ready version back. Getting any type of production is not likely even if he returns in December. The amount of injuries every year is no longer bad luck or anecdotal. Something needs to be done to find out where the staff is falling short in keeping the players healthy.
  22. I am confident that the number three and four options this year will do much better than Sherfeld and Harty. Thrown in an improving Kincaid and Cook and there is no doubt that the ball can be spread around more. As all of us are aware, the biggest factor is what can the top two options offer. Shakir, Coleman, Samuel, MVS and Claypool do not have consistent experience as #1 or #2 targets and all have a large gap between their ceiling and floor. If they play to their potential, we could have an deep group. If they all disappoint, we could have 2018 all over again. There are a lot of variables and ways that this could go.
  23. Project 2025 is not a Trump thing, it is from a far right group. Trump has stated that he does not endorse project 2025 (which we can both agree is a God awful idea) and is in fact against much of it. I'm voting third party no matter what so don't pass me as a MAGA, but keeping the misinformation of Trump endorsing project 2025 is the last leg that the democrats have to stand on. I understand, because the democrats certainly can't point to anything positive over the past four years, but it is still dishonest. Right now the Dems entire platform is "we suck, but the other guy is worse."
  24. Shouldn't the ones with the second highest delegates win the bid? If so, that would be Jason Palmer who had 3 delegates after winning the primary in American Samoa. Are democrats ready to acknowledge Palmer as their commander-in-chief?
