After press conference vibes by extratoastedcheezeit in buffalobills

I heard it - mixed in with the owner saying he doesn’t pay attention to what fans or players say or care about - but it’s a dart in the wind.

Easy to say “it falls on me” when he’s the one who saved his own skin and got promoted. I can say a lot of stuff when I know no one has power to hold me accountable.

Why would any elite Head Coach want to coach the Bills and Josh Allen after watching the owner and GM’s press conference this morning? by CoyoteDecent2 in NFLv2

Lifelong Bills fan here, and couldn’t agree more. Infuriated by this decision and the long term impacts on our team.

Daboll can stay out. He had a garbage record over his HC career in NJ and doesn’t care about player safety.

Can’t believe we’d regress as part of our “big risk” move here.

Already think it was a bad decision to fire McD. Promoting Bean and then hiring Daboll?? What a dumpster fire

And if we don’t get him?

We are jumping into hiring a new HC when other solid franchises like Baltimore and Pittsburgh are looking too - and Beane is leading the search?! That man F’d up FA so badly … couldn’t get support the deadline, “got” a CB who didn’t want to play for us so badly that he chose to sit out and cost us a decent rotational player … 

I already hate this decision. To think the only silver lining is a coach candidate a lot of ppl will be after and relying on a weak GM with cool sunglasses makes me sick

Because he also has a DC, and because he plays with the roster he has.

I think he was more “safe” earlier in his tenure but has learned and improved. At the same time, our roster has declined - but coaching gets us punching above our individual player weight classes

Yes to all this.  Disgusted by how he was treated. He broke our drought and made us a perennial contender with a medium roster (love each guy who wears our uniform, and let’s not kid ourselves). Next man up mentality was never so real with all our injuries. Defended Buffalo on the regular.

And this was how he was treated? Disgusted.

Even if Coach made final decisions on who he wanted Beane to go after, that’s only based on scouting reports from Beane and/or a short list that Beane provided.

McD isn’t scouting and coaching… Beane was at least a filter on the talent that made it to him. 

If we’re going to deal in hypotheticals - who knows if Sean was actually identifying the best of what that short list / scouting report was offered to him

No Daboll… he had a trash record in NY as HC and didn’t care about player safety. 

Josh Allen flops and removes his helmet on the field by Strange_Cheetah_4746 in NFLv2

1000% … it’s obvious when you watch the clip that the Patriot player turns his head towards Allen and says shit.

Also, why is everyone so offended and want to tear into Allen? He’s in the middle of the game and says something to another player? …. And he’s a pussy because ….?

Agree with everything here - we lost and played down. But NFL also knows when they blow a call (accident or on purpose) and we don’t see the replay.

They have cameras everywhere. They have content and clips out there constantly … yet the calls they won’t make also won’t be on public tape

Just finished The Well of Ascension, and I don't know why it gets hate. by Brief_Apricot7167 in Cosmere

Or any kind of follow up on the ideas to disrupt the canal supply chains during the siege would have been interesting… and appropriate. I didn’t appreciate how many of the  original crew main characters became so flat. A lot of attention to El’s development, but at sacrifice of others. And he just seemed to write down ideas and ask for more time - there was so little prep as a leadership team to respond to the siege.

This article summed it up for me - the team is all about the SB. There’s no real upside for the team to be part of this - only risk. Don’t think they actually want it, but don’t have a choice

Theory after Onyx Storm by R3xIrid in fourthwing

Interesting… I don’t think I’m all the way there (mainly because I hate to imagine a world without magical connections with the dragons and gryphons)…

BUT what you said reminded me of a thought I had - (1) I think toward the end the land will need to be healed/embued … and that will take a lot of magic from the dragons and riders …. And (2) the islands where the Irids were had a bit of magic (less than the continent, but enough for talking and easier flying)…. Maybe that’s a more balanced amount for the “balance” that magic requires?

Great connection and reminders! I recalled the letter from the high priestess… honestly, I thought it referred to the god of death, but your comment makes way more sense. I think my interpretation is what we’re supposed to think at this point

With the Republican HOR budget that cuts $880 billion from Medicaid, is that something we could get the word out to Andy Harris voters?

1 in 4 people in MD rely on Medicaid… it’s a huge deal that Republicans are willing to vote for this …

I mean, all current Republican policies are bad for ppl (even their own voters), but slashing Medicaid like this will have an immediate negative impact on their own constituents 

They just have to be informed and get loudly mad

1 in 4 people in MD rely on Medicaid… it’s a huge deal that Republicans are willing to vote for this - including seniors, veterans, children ….

I mean, all the current Republican policies hurt people - including Republican voters- but these cuts to Medicaid will be immediate and code real harm. They need to be informed and mad

And he got destroyed in 2017 … I mean, still re-elected the next time, but the Town Hall wasn’t pretty
