SectionC3

What I have to say I find interesting is that he still hasn’t turned himself in. Maybe counsel is negotiating with the police and it’s going to be done after hours. But in this day and age it’s hard to believe Miller doesn’t know about this and it would unusual if some steps toward submitting to arrest haven’t been taken.

Sure, that’s an issue. The point I’m making though is that those who strangle are more likely to kill. It’s a gigantic, flaming warning beacon and such types of DV cases are taken very seriously.

Strangulation is a huge, huge red flag in DV cases. Increases exponentially the possibility that the Vic ultimately will become a homicide Vic.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends what other evidence (911, photos, security cams) is available. But there is a good chance that it goes away if she doesn’t cooperate.

He buys the alleged victim off, she doesn’t testify, and the prosecutor declines to prosecute.

Sadly, mine too. The consideration should be with the unborn and with the alleged victim. But, were we to view this from a football perspective, and under the belief that there is a morality clause in Miller’s contract that could be affected by this issue, I’d note that I would await further opinion until the police report is published. At this point, anything is possible. It may have merit, it may not, it may be that it’s a “woman scorned” situation and she’s looking to jam him up over nothing, or there may be some legitimacy to this. I’ll add that, knowing a little bit about how things work in New York State, the fact that there seems to be some sort of police report and sworn information supporting the issuance of an arrest warrant (and the fact that the alleged perpetrator fled the scene) suggests that this might be more than a “woman scorned” scenario. As an aside, this is why the Bills hired someone like Terry Gilbride—a seasoned pro—as general counsel to replace the neophyte who previously graduated into that role.

So, the gist of it is, BLM denies association with the purported BLM guy who likes Trump, but Trump is still honored to have BLM support. I have a hard time keeping up with the Trump web of lies and shifting positions, but at this point it still seems that Trump now believes that BLM is good. If I was MAGA, then I would try to keep this in mind at the next meeting so that, when you're done yelling about Mexicans, complaining the price of insulin and ozempic, bragging about the carrion jerky that you munched in your pickup on the way over, and denigrating the doctor who told you to lose 100 pounds and quit the high tar Senecas, you're all on the same page about BLM.

Maybe MAGA missed the update: Trump now says that BLM is good. This after years of subtle racism and demonizing people who simply think that a petty thief doesn't deserve a vigilante death penalty imposed based upon the color of his skin. And MAGA is worried about the mental acuity of a guy who helped Ukraine stay free, righted the economy, and piloted an economy that has more Americans working than at any point in the history of our great country. Maybe next MAGA will express concern about fantasies like the absence of a Colorado border wall, or windmill cancer, or run on Trump-branded Fart in a Jar at Wal Mart.

I figured I'd leave this here in case Newsmax or Red State Update or Rumble or whatever doesn't report this in advance of the next MAGA meeting. It's important that our MAGA friends know what Trump is thinking these days so that they know what to say about the issue. These things change a lot but, at this point, I think MAGA now has to say that BLM is good, that the Antifa Air Force still is a threat, that the North Korean government is good, and that windmill cancer remains a threat.

I would never, ever bother anyone for an autograph. Never. And I didn’t want/need/attempt/care to talk to him. But I have seen him around town and he strikes me as a guy who likes to be left alone, which is totally fine. (I’m the same way, for what it’s worth. I don’t want to be bothered with chit chat about my job or the nonsense of the day at my kids’ practices.)

Call Pegula and tell him that McD is done. That’s what he can do.

This is great. Rabbit ears on the d-line. There better have been a really good reason for both of those guys to engage the fan.

Seriously. He’s super intense and unapproachable in public. But that doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy at all. He probably just has everyone up his butt asking him about every blessed thing all the time and he likes to be left alone. His job performance and his humanity are two completely different things.

Probably wouldn’t work. They need a new approach. I like McD’s disciplined approach, but it hasn’t exactly worked. I’m on the Daboll train given his history here and the type of guy I think they need to change the atmosphere a little bit. I could even live with McD/new DC/appropriate OC (Joe Brady if the year ends well) if they want to wait a year on a guy who they think is right. But if they’re gonna clip McD, they better have a plan as to who comes in next before he’s terminated.

Disagree on the horse collar. It was there. So was the hit to the head on Kincaid and the DPI on Sherfield. Frankly, and objectively, I thought the Brown play was a fumble. It was bang-bang, but he had his steps and pulled the ball toward his chest. Fumble all day long. It’s been a crappy year for officiating. Picking up the ineligible man flag against NE might keep us out of the playoffs, as might the very odd Sutton call against Denver. Then again, had we actually made a couple of plays in either of those games, or simply counted properly against Denver, we might not be in this mess.

Me. We were dominating that game. I still can’t believe we lost. I saw the writing on the wall with the FG at the end of regulation (every Bills fan knew that he was going to hit that kick) and then a gassed defense in OT. It was sadly reminiscent of 13 second. Allen was dealing and playing out of his mind, and the D gave it away.

This gets us back to offense v defense friction after 13 seconds. It’s going go be a problem until the D starts to close tight games or until McD leaves.

Allen did not choke last night. Not at all. He was phenomenal. The idea that he is somehow responsible for this after putting up 400+ yards plus four touchdowns on the road in driving, cold rain against the reigning NFC champs and the current market leader in the NFL with an OC who is in his second week on the job after a mid-season change is patently absurd. And this was, what, the third time this year he walked off the field ahead and the defense blew the game (NE, Denver, Philly). Win two of those games and we’re sitting at 8-4 and absolutely in the mix. This year is squarely on McD. He bit off more than he could chew and here we are. Both things can be true. Frazier was a problem, and now McD is a problem. McD simply failed to solve said problem.

I learned from last night's loss. McD overextended himself by being the DC this year. He did a great job here. But it may be time for a change. Lesson learned.

The Emmanuel Sanders signing in 2021 makes more and more sense as time passes. The O-line was tremendous. We're staged for a quick turnaround next year. That group (probably minus a Morse/Bates switch) is back, and with the QB, WR1, RB1, and TE1 we can keep it going on that side of the ball. Agreed on McD. Everyone else has taken a fall. I don't think he's a great end-of-game coach, and that problem has been exacerbated by his wearing of the DC "hat" this year as well. He overextended himself and hurt himself in both areas. But for the 13 seconds disaster I'd think he'd be safe. Now, however, there's nobody left to blame for the end-of-game failures, and what I see as a significant credibility problem should he return. Farwell and Frazier left. Dorsey was fired. Sean's the last man standing (for now). *Perhaps the one thing that might save him is if he turns the offense over to the new coordinator, hires a DC, and brings in a bunch of younger personnel on the defensive side of the ball who haven't been around to listen to his schtick for seven years. Maybe the youth and willingness to prove in those younger players makes it work next year. Maybe. But I really think we need an offensive guy who knows our personnel, knows the routine around here (that shouldn't be destroyed), has the respect of the locker room, is someone with whom franchise QB1 wants to work, and isn't learning on the job. It's almost like we had a guy like that around here before who left for the Giants after the aforementioned disaster.

Unless the Delorean gets struck by lightning it isn’t happening. He’s washed.

Me. Replace Reich with Brian Daboll and I’m game.

Said this in another thread. I don’t get it. He had a front row seat to how it can be done. And if we’re saying it, you can bet it’s a topic of conversation in the locker room.

This post is kind of why I’m ag peace with this year. Mid-year, I thought Allen was broken. He’s not. He’s back and, with the right parts around him, we can contend every year. I think today might have been the beginning of the end for McD, though. Maybe he runs the table. It’s plausible. But we can’t waste another year of Allen in a guy who, time and time again, does not get it done.

I’m with you. I get the idea of letting the ball sit there and get wet. But two timeouts and the ball at the 25 with roughly 20 seconds left can definitely get you into FG range. Might even work with less than 20 seconds. Like, say, 13 seconds.
