In retrospect, the trade up to get Losman that cost us a chance at Aaron Rodgers is only rivaled by passing on Brady on 2001. At the time of draft day, however, I wanted Orakpo over Maybin and Ngata over Whitner. I didn't know enough about Gronk at the time to really want him when we picked Troup (although I wasn't a fan of the Troup pick at the time either).

As much as I love his receiving abilities, I don't think he's a good fit for Buffalo. If he was a good fit, a trade like this might have some merit.

This thread reminds of that joke of a safety.

Hmm. I'm reading about it now on its Wiki page and I'm surprised to see that there is actually a lot of debate on the historical impact of the treaty. Alluding to your point, "Finally, Evans argued that it is untrue that Versailles caused the premature end of the Republic, instead contending that it was the Great Depression of the early 1930s that put an end to German democracy. He also argued that Versailles was not the "main cause" of National Socialism and the German economy was "only marginally influenced by the impact of reparations".

Tbf, the war reparations from WWI were a major strain on the German economy. Some in Britain believed that their abandonment would bring about an economic boom. The harsh terms of the Versailles Treaty practically guaranteed eventual political turmoil in Germany in the 20s and 30s.

That's what I was thinking last night.

Damn it. Another damn ring for Brady....

Idk if the Rams’ offense have what it takes.

Rams defense is the best unit on the field today.

Wade is calling a heck of a game.

Bahahaha suck it Pats

Two NE TOs in the first quarter? If they don’t get the TD here on this drive...

Helmet to helmet contact is allowed on a runner. It is not allowed on a defenseless receiver or a QB.

Half of the purpose of this thread is to poke fun at the other thread, fwiw.

Inspired by the thread, "How does a Bills loss affect your life?" Personally, I'm usually in an above-average mood the following day.

Not a fan of Little so far.

And maybe 3 wins. The other 5 are tossups that tilt away from the fish.

Jesus. That’s an awful schedule.

Notice how they show a picture of Culley during his tenure with the Chiefs (offensive powerhouse) instead of a picture with the Bills (offensive work-in-progress).

Even with the rules changes and officiating brouhaha, I still think playoff football magnifies the importance of defense. In our particular situation, I think a top defense actually helps some young quarterbacks (including Josh Allen) because the fewer the points the other team scores, the less pressure that is on your young guy to score. Mental pressure can be just as big a factor as physical, pass rushing pressure when it comes to quarterbacking in the NFL. Roethlisburger, Brady, Wilson (I'm sure I'm missing a few more that still play now) all "grew up" with exceptionally good defenses on the other side of the ball.

The ad is from 2013.

Laser Gate has a better ring to it imo.

It's still very early, but as of right now I think I would be okay with Metcalf at 9 if he is moving up the boards that much. I was kind of hoping the Bills might be able to trade back and still pick him up but it's becoming clear that that was wishful thinking.
