    I mean, yes, the Dems are proposing it, but what's the downside? This likely doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of becoming law, so probably just political theater..

    I think everyone with a brain would agree with this, unfortunately some other dumb crap will be included in the bill that the right won’t want to support so it will never get passed.

     

    I’d imagine it will end up being the “Insider Trading and Green New Deal” bill.

    Sullivan has made a career out of being a pessimist. He calls himself skeptical, but I don’t think he ever believed in the Bills. It wasn’t exactly going out on a limb being pessimistic about the Bills and Sabres over the last few decades. I prefer to be optimistic probably to a faulty. I find it too exhausting to be pessimistic. Being skeptical is at times prudent and not as exhausting. In this article Sullivan has six points only two have some validity, “Is the defense as good as its record?” and “Is Sean McDermott a Super Bowl head coach?”. The defense was good when playing with a lead, the run defense was at times terrible. The interior of that line needs to be better, hopefully the new additions will help that. McDermott has to own that “13 seconds”, that was bad coaching. We can try and place blame elsewhere, but that’s obfuscation. I like McDermott, but he has to win the big one. 

    Fans can be optimistic. Sully and the gang are supposed to try to be objective. And the Bills were objectively terrible for years. 

     

    Also, who reads Sullivan anymore? Or ever did? With the total availability of different media these days, why would anyone bother?

    I think they are a good team, but really question their passing game and OL and think they got a bit lucky last year. 

    I feel like every year the Titans get lucky. Hard to bet against them

    Allens feet slipping getting blamed for Dawkins getting steamrolled and landing on the back of his legs, causing him to slip + Feliciano doing his best matador impression simultaneously is even funnier.  He could’ve slipped and still gotten the first of his OL didn’t get dominated

    No no Daboll is the reason his foot slipped bro. Just ask around.

     

    Now we have an OC who, uh, I guess doesn't control Josh's feet.

    As usual Chans with you’re inflammatory persona, I said it was a bonehead move and Daboll tried to get too cute on THAT PLAY.  I did not indicate Daboll was not an excellent OC and was deserving of his HC position at the Giants.

     

    This is you blowing a comment on ONE PLAY, and extrapolating to stating Daboll is a joke.  I’m also confident Dorsey will have his bumps in his first OC job, but happy it’s him where Allen feels comfortable with him.  I’m sure it’s all going to work out, and no I don’t freak out when a run play goes for five yards.  I’m not a reactionist.

    I am what I is.

    Alpha, you and I are like the Borg

    with a hive mind on this thread.  The reason why slow as heck Brady is so darn good at the sneak as he’d tell the OC to go to hell and wouldn’t do some Tom foolery tactic, but knows how to get small and low.  Morse if he knows what’s coming needs along with the Guards to bow up the defenders and like a wrestling move where you shoot on the legs get looowwwww.

     

    Allen has demonstrated this tactic on more than one occasion so don’t mess

    with what works.  So I guess on that one play Allen needs to grow in telling Daboll to pound salt and he’s going for it quick.  I think what we saw in Allen in the last quarter of the year and what reports have come out is he will in the future.

     

    The bottom line for me is keep the run,  it just be smart about it.  If Devin can’t handle the load up the middle with maybe a sprinkle of 3rd and 1 with Moss as a bowling ball, and Cook to the outside then get more guys, but Allen is not the solution.

     

    To ignore Allen as a scrambler, and some creative runs along with him running when the play breaks down is not going to change.  Like I said, around 400-450 per season or maybe a little more is doable.

    Lmao yes Daboll was such a bad OC that he was basically the hottest HC candidate the last two years.

     

    you will be calling Dorsey a moron when a run play doesn’t go for 5 yards in about 6 months. See you then

    They need to remove all Josh runs designed for RB's essentially up the middle.  Far too often Daboll STUPIDLY called Allens number for power inside runs or draws up the middle off the snap, and not like 3rd and 1 type things, talking first down 2nd and long stuff.  

     

    Josh is MOST effective running when taking off after nothing opens up down field or on some of the blocked sweeps outside.  His shortest YPC and where he takes the most damage are these stupid runs up the middle like he is a FB or something.  I mean its right into the beef of the defense and no one is cleared out even because its right off the snap.  

     

    When Allen breaks big runs up the middle, its after he has dropped back to pass and saw an opening to take off where the middle is wide open and can get free then get down to avoid contact.  When its right off the snap, there is no avoiding contact and puts Josh at risk for injury or even a fumble.  

     

    To be clear, I am not suggesting removing QB Sneaks, his conversion percentage makes this an almost guarantee when he runs it.  I mean I can only recall a couple times where he didn't convert and the only meaningful one being the Titans game where stupid Daboll tried to be tricky having Josh start in shotgun and move to the line where he didn't get his feet set and slipped.  

     

    But  I PRAY these inside power runs off the snap and other dumb run calls left with Daboll.  For as good as Daboll could be at times, he could also be unbelievably stupid with things like this.  

    Daboll getting blamed for Allen’s feet slipping is laugh out loud funny.

    Not sure if you are being sarcastic, Kirby. But it takes more than boinking your mom's friend to be an alpha. With the O resources added to the Jets we will see if he takes command of their offense in the way an aggressive leader would. 

    You can't even fathom how much of an alpha move this was.

     

    That locker room is going crazy for Wilson right now bro.

    I have a new level of respect for Zach Wilson. He does have a little dawg in him. I want my QB to be an alpha. Wilson is out here making alpha moves. 

    How mad is Josh Rosen for not going for big air instead of that hot tub in the dorm stuff?

     

    Probably would have taken the Cardinals to the NFCCG by now.

    Disgusting. He needs to set an example for kids. Josh Allen dating his high school sweetheart and not running around chasing skirts. 

    There are some stories out of Laramie that would blow your hair back.

    I think that it’s tough to inspire a fan base with the hiring of a 63 year-old DC. I hate to say it like that because Frazier has earned the opportunity. Typically bad teams are looking for “who’s next.” They want the next McVay. They continue to hire, young, creative, offensive minds. The market is narrow for Leslie Frazier. He needs a situation like Jacksonville that was a total disaster and needs an adult in the room to stabilize. I suppose if the Browns blow up this year he might be an option?  I guess that Lovie Smith was an exception to this but those situations are few and far between. I just don’t see, for example, the Jets turning that group over to LF if things don’t work out here. It will be “the next young offensive mind.”

    It’s very funny how much this changed over the last decade. Feel like pre McVay and Shanny, it was a never ending slew of old,

    former HC DC’s just running through jobs.

    I agree with all of that.......except he is not mediocre.........he's a top 12-15 type starting MLB/ILB in the league.

     

    He's just very underachieving.

     

    He's a country mile from being the best player on the Bills defense...........just in the back 7 he's obviously lesser than Tre White and also guys like Milano and Hyde who were drafted on day 3.........and Poyer who was an UDFA.   

     

    Whitner was also underachieving...........though at his position he was hamstrung by the Bills lack of talent in front of him.   Which of course was the big complaint with his selection(instead of Haloti Ngata in particular) in the first place.  You don't build a defense from the outside inward.    Some times the organization CREATES a whipping boy.  

     

    If Edmunds went in round 3......like Brandon Smith, the Penn State LB from this past draft with a lot of impressive physical traits.........we'd all be like "well, they knew there was something that made him lesser than the sum of his parts".  

    We heard this for years about guys like Edmunds too.

     

    We heard, "wait til Star's back," "Milano missed the gap" etc etc etc etc.

     

    I think when it is all said and done, Edmunds will basically be viewed as Whitner.  Solid player, but not worth all the hemming and hawing, and definitely not worth overpaying for.

    make it stop...

     

     

    if it takes this many years and this many threads to decide whether a guy is worth pay...he probably isn't

    This is correct.

     

    The players that ALWAYS have topics about them on TBD are pretty much not good.


    Trent

    Maybin

    Losman

    Whitner

    McKelvin

    EJ

    Brandon Reilly

    Edmunds

     

    Millions of topics. Not good players.

     

    When was the last “Tre White” topic? Probably 2 years ago. Because he’s a good player and it’s obvious to everyone.

     

    When was the last “Milano” topic? Again, probably 2 years ago, because he’s good and we all know this.

     

    Edmunds is mediocre. Time to accept it.

    Not sure but about 75% of those who didn't graduate with loans attended private universities that are obviously way more expensive than state schools and now are way in debt because of it.  By forgiving student loans we're basically bailing a lot of people out who made the bad choice to attend a private school and were too lazy and/or competent to graduate.  Got to love America.

    More importantly, doing nothing to stop the absolute disgusting racket of college tuition. 

  13. 7 hours ago, Doc Brown said:

    About 37% of student loan debt is amongst those who didn't graduate from four year schools so are they considered non-college educated?

    I don’t know, but 63% of them are.

     

    Don’t they usually put them in the “some college” category?
