Whaley was the GM when we hired McDermott. Oversaw the draft that got us Tre, Dion, and Milano as well. But I still prefer Beane, LOL

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. Without venture capital there is no Apple, Amazon, internet, etc. The best idea in the world is absolutely worthless without the capital necessary to turn the idea into reality.

I’m the biggest Bills homer of all time. Last week, playing a base nickel with the same personnel (minus Benford), we shut the run down completely. The defense wasn’t good yesterday and getting gashed like we did wasn’t part of the strategy. This doesn’t mean we stink and can’t beat a good team. It just means they had a bad defensive game but won anyway.

If Bass missed, the kick, he probably wanted to have the time out so he could run a quick play and try a field goal of his own.

this take is so odd. Are you implying he isn’t really injured? If so, why did he play so much in his first game? Why did he practice after practice so much that Josh mentioned the work he did with an assistant WR coach in his postgame presser?

You are like that little turd from A League of Their Own. “You’re gonna lose, you’re gonna lose. You stiiiiink” I have never seen you say ANYTHING positive. Ever. After our next touchdown, your comment will be a complaint that we didn’t run that play sooner. its just so unbelievably boring.

I love this thread. I’ve been on the Benford bandwagon for a year or so and he has never let me down. Great pick and even better player!

What did you see to base this comment on? With Spector playing, the D gave up three points over the rest of the game, so he can’t have been that bad.

You treat it as though it is axiomatic that his statement is ignorant. Can you quantify the extent to which it is ignorant? A Catholic man (I’m not Catholic), speaking to an audience of Catholics and speculating that many of them are looking forward to being wives and mothers more than career women. Since his statement is “quantifiably ignorant” quantify it for us. What percentage of the women in the audience disagree with his statement? Since Butker’s statement was qualified in that he clearly stater he was only talking about a subset of his audience, what is the precise degree of difference between the beliefs of his target audience and their beliefs at which Butker’s statement becomes false? Actually, I don’t think that’s necessary. You obviously disagree with Butker’s point-or a straw man you’ve made out of his actual point-and rather than say why he is incorrect you do what you did. i agree with a lot of your Bills takes, but this one is weak and disrespectful.

I’m liking Keon so far, but it’s not obvious we preferred him. We could have made the same trade with the Chiefs and they could have taken Keon instead of Worthy and we’d have been left with someone else. if Keon turns out to be better than Worthy it might just be that we got lucky.

Thurman was MVP of the league in 91

You’re right that there are other factors to consider, but when a team gives up 85 sacks you can draw a conclusion about the quality of the O-Line’s play.

You are the one who seems hung up on how much money other people have...not me. I judge things by whether the facts as I see them and not based on whether or not someone’s demographic category. You seem to have rejected the idea of blind justice (at least in this instance) which, unfortunately, a lot of other people seem to have done. I accused you of either not know what the word extortion means or (worse) knowing what it means and using it anyway to describe a situation that you know isn't extortion. Instead of defending your reasoning you chose to attack my motives...which is remarkable being that you don't know anything about me or my life.

Extortion? That is a word that has a specific meaning and involves the threat of the use of force. That has never happened. At worst, owners have threatened to move the teams they own to a place where they think they can make more money. That isn’t extortion. i get it. You don’t like the wealthy for whatever reason. That doesn’t excuse you of throwing around accusations without any evidence or redefining words so you can accuse those bad people you don’t like of something sinister sounding.

Deserve is an interesting word. Who “deserves” what and who decides? in the vast majority of cases, in a free country, people earn based on the value other people think they provide-not based on some abstract idea like what is “deserved”. Jeff Bezos gets money from me because I like the convenience his company offers me. Terry Pegula gets money from me because I love the team he owns. Etc, etc. Nobody is tricking me or forcing me to make those choices and I do have alternatives. And so doors everyone here. When I was younger, the company I worked for thought my labor was worth $4 per hour. Now my employer thinks the value I bring to the table is worth more than that. What I think I (or anyone other than my employer or I) think I “deserve” is irrelevant.
