People need to go back and watch that game. The Bills crushed them and then crushed themselves with bad turnovers. This was two weeks removed from a teammate dying in front of them. They may have been a bit distracted
We were a zombie team at that point, and the two wins after the Cincy game really speak more to how bad the Pats and Phins were falling apart in order to lose to a team that had nothing left in the tank and didnt want to be on the field. We sleepwalked through those games before finally getting put to bed by the Bengals.

He's a system QB that severely limits the upside of that team. Evident by the Dolphins 7-14 record vs winning teams in games he starts. This is a win for the AFC east.
McDermott has struggled against QBs ranging from Mahomes and Burrow to shlubs like Mac Jones, Sklyer Thompson, Zach Wilson, and Easton friggin Stick.
The ONE QB he absolutely owns and has figured out is Tua.

Bills fans think this is a great thing for the Dolphins. I mean Tua has beaten Allen two times head to head. The heat game and the Charles Clay dropped TD game. This is great for Tua.
As pointed out, once.
And the stat lines from the heat game:
Josh 42/63 400yds 2TDs, 8 carries for 50yds rushing
Tua 13/18 186yds 1TD

Thank god we turned the page. 1 of these players will still be spoken about in 10 years, the other will barely be remembered at all. Go Bills!
Diggs was great for the Bills and played a huge role in the growth and development of Josh Allen.
I would hope that in 10 years Bills fans would be over themselves and recognize and respect Diggs for the player he was. I get wounds are fresh now (kinda), but much longer and it just looks like a petty, spiteful, ignorant fan base hating on one of their best former players.
Reed had issues with Kelly, fist fights, threatened to leave Buffalo numerous times because his wife hated it here, was (is still) a huge ahole to fans at times especially when you catch him coked out, never won us a Super Bowl and melted down in SB26. We still love him.

The Bills were lucky to have Frank Reich around if Kelly got injured.
For that to happen again, an awful lot of stars have to align.
For that to happen again, we would have to get rid of the CBA and modern NFL as we know it. We had Kelly/Reich before there was Free Agency and the Salary Cap, and before it was a passing league that prioritizes and pays QBs above all others.

Just put the headline in the thread title so we dont get 10 duplicate threads. There's no other news.

Didnt need a whole new thread for this, but saw on ESPN Get Up! this morning. Their trivia question:
Q: Who is the only active HC to have a winning record against Mike Tomlin (min. 5 games)?
A: Former college teammate, Sean McDermott. 4-1
Neat to have our guy mentioned. However, that is just the post-Ben era. Similar to our recent record against the post-Brady Pats.

Five months ago today! At this time (9AM), I was on the table in the OR. Everything is going well. Wish I knew how to change the title of this thread.
Go back to the very first post and click Edit. It will let you edit the title as well as the body of the message.

Thaks for letting me know what is in that. Another thing I can never have. If you have had a traspant of any type, you cannot have anything with grapefruits or pommrgranites ever again. Something in them interferes with the activation of anti-rejection meds in the liver.
There's a cranberry flavor! 🤷♂️

Another vote for Bo.
Even tho I was a diehard Bills fan in the 80s, I still had a Raiders hat and poster, and got the book Bo Knows Bo for my 10th bday.

I agree KOC wants to a QB who paints by numbers. That is what that Shanahan style scheme requires. It does not want Quarterbacks freelancing at all. I'd be surprised if he actually wanted to move off Kirk though. I think his ideal plan was to keep Kirk and bring in another QB to sit and learn. I think that was part of Kirk going to Atlanta he thought that would be 2-3 years as the undisputed starter..... only for the Falcons to then draft a QB as well.
Being out in an Atlanta sports bar for the draft when that pick was made is one of my all time real life sports highlights. Absolute chaos.

They didn't want to lose Kirk. Atlanta just offered more. Still think the rest of the roster is too strong to only win 3 or 4. 6 minimum IMO.
Depends on your definition of "they". Some in the FO and ownership? Most likely.
But it was pretty clear that KOC wanted someone more malleable and moldable who would do exactly what he said and only what he said, his way. Their conflicts were evident even in the kumbaya-editing of Quarterbacks on Netflix.
I'm sure KOC would only speak positively of Kirk, and I dont think there is any real animosity there. But there has definitely been frustration with KOC trying to implement his system and Kirk doing his own thing on the field. The mild success KOC was able to have with QBs like Josh Dobbs gave him enough rope to convince the FO to make these moves.
Sure, if Cousins wanted to re-sign at $20M/yr of course they wouldve done it. No brainer. But in reality, given Kirk's market and KOC wanting to establish himself, they got JJ.
I dont disagree on the 6+ wins. Just like it's tough to win games in the NFL, it's also tough to suck to the level of 4 or less wins.
-
Kevin O'Connell going to learn the "careful what you wish for" lesson of moving on from a headstrong vet QB like Cousins to a rookie who will listen to/do everything he says in JJ McCarthy.
I think Darnold starts at least 8 games, so they may end up with 3ish wins there. Then switch to JJ who might pull off 1 more win.
So yeah, 3-4 wins tops.
Will be interesting to see how long it takes for heads to roll in the FO/Coaching staff.

Hulu! OK, will look there. I think I miss-spoke, I meant that NFL thing you pay for to watch coach's film. Hard Knocks was on there.
Checked while I was in the app and it looks like you still need the HBO add-on in Hulu to get it. So for now, just HBO/Max.

Week 7/8 missing Williams and Deebo in 2023. So that’s not really fair (although it makes Deebo look worth a Hall of Fame LT AND a good WR).
Regardless, Deebo has major injury concerns at this point, has a high contract, and will be 29 this season. Even if he’s that important, will he be in 2 years?
Fair on the injury concerns. Anyone playing that position that physically wont last long in the league. But it's what their team is all about, at least for now.

Nope not sure at all what you mean. Who exactly are you railing against here?93% of taxes are paid by businesses and of the remaining 7%, 76% is paid by the top 10%.
That last 1.6% is spread over the remaining 30% outside the top 10% who pay taxes. So who are the bad guys here?
Or are you one of those flat tax people saying everyone should pay the same? Or maybe that everyone should contribute (even the poor), so everyone has skin in the game?
Not getting it man.
Source?
And Don was obviously talking about rich people who dont pay their fair share of taxes. Which is a LOT of them.

I assume that like most people who come into wealth suddenly, Williams probably hired a financial advisor. Not to do so would be foolish. That would mean any strategy to structure his contract for tax advantages would have been run through the advisor, who would presumably have some tax expertise. I don't blame him for trying. I'm guessing nobody here voluntarily pays more taxes than he/she has to. If anything, I'm guessing he just got some bad advice.
A competent, non fraudulent CPA would not have suggested these ideas because they are settled issues. This absolutely reeks of Tik Tok tax advice. Or his dad regularly practices tax fraud and figured he could do similar things with his son.

Agreed, he's just so "extra". Like St. Brown alot though. Closet Lions fan here.
Yeah I thought that at times too, but he mostly seems to be extra only with himself/his family. I thought he did a good job supporting Purdy and keeping him going.

Yes, and the middle class continues to be the primary targets of the IRS. The federal government significantly increased IRS funding and are hiring thousands of more employees to squeeze every cent out of us they can. Hurray for us!
That's not true. They've successfully gone after the people we are talking about in this thread that we all agree should start paying their fair share.

IRS collected $1 billion in back taxes from millionaires in less than a year

I’m surprised cut/trade Deebo and pay Aiyuk isn’t gaining traction in SF.
They showed the numbers with and without Deebo, and without Deebo SF is pretty average at best. Whatever it is that he brings and makes the defenses do obviously helps the entire team. Aiyuk is a very good WR, but doesnt bring anything extra or special beyond what any other good WR would do.

I never said they should. The comment said anyone not paying taxes shouldn't get to use any kind of infrastructure or anything funded by taxes. Well, that's about half the population. More, actually.
It is 45% of households. We're not talking about children. Also, it would be household income of about $65k and less.
Fair point, although I hope thats not what @Don Otreply meant.

Uh, like 40 to 45% of people don't pay income taxes. And it isn't the rich. It is the poor. They get so much back in returns that it is as if they paid no taxes. Surely, you know this. It is common knowledge.
As it should be, and exactly why millionaires should pay their taxes. Otherwise, those millionaires are putting the entire burden on us, the middle class.

As they should. Not trying to create LLCs and shirk the rules just because they can pay lawyers.

The Allen-Diggs Relationship in Decline?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Eh, TO never made the playoffs. Diggs was imperative in the creation of Josh Allen. You cant tell the main story of Josh without him.
If TO was ever on a team that had success and was as beloved as the current crew, he'd be a bigger fan favorite.
It's the winning that is the difference, and Diggs was here for winning.
Agreed he wont be a Reed. Until we win a SB, none of the players will be as beloved as the 90s teams.
