2020: Bills Cards, Hail Murray
2021: Bills Chiefs, 13 seconds
2022: Bills Vikings, JJ 4th down
2023: Bills Eagles
Bills always play in Game of the Year because they have a cyborg, Josh Allen.
They always lose because they have McDermott as head coach.
Week 5, Bills at Chiefs. Arguably biggest game of NFL regular season.
Buffalo win = 2 game lead on KC, effectively 3 w tiebreaker. Not sure Bills will lose 3 more ROS, while Chiefs still have AFC West foes.
Huge path towards 1 seed, lone AFC bye.
In a year when NFL MVP so obviously deserved to be a split vote …
Regardless of who you preferred …
this this why Lamar got 49 of 50 votes (despite obv inferior stats to many others):
* Groupthink
* Fear of being shunned by the mob
Good for you,

Stephen A. Smith calls out the one voter who didn't give Lamar Jackson a first-place MVP vote.
"That was a stupid homer vote by that individual, probably scared to go back in the locker room if he had voted against Josh Allen. That compromises everything. You have to be
NFL script revealed:
* Ravens 20-13 over injury-riddled Dolphins. Lamar meh game.
* Josh Allen 3 TDs vs Pats
* Bills vs Dolphins for AFC 2 seed in Week 18, flexed to Sun night.
* Bills get the 2, Allen wins 6th AFC OPOY award in 12 career regular season games vs Miami

We aren't seeing business owners make independent decisions, Mark.
We're seeing business owners doing what government wants (esp. now that gov't is issuing huge fines for non-compliance)
That's a dangerous slope to embark upon, and you're smart enough to see the difference.
Everyone thinks 2023 NFL MVP is over.
I don’t.
Two caveats:
1. Bills must win Sunday, get 2 seed
2. Allen must have a big game
If those 2 things happen, let’s put Josh Allen & Lamar Jackson side-by-side:
QBR
Allen: 68.2
Lamar: 65.3
PFF rating:
Allen: 90.8
Lamar:
@PFF_Sam
That's a straw man.
Nobody wants to ban the QB sneak.
We want to ban the most aesthetically displeasing play of our lifetime, when players push the QB from behind on a QB sneak.
@RotoPat
I'll play devil's advocate.
No COVID vaccine is FDA approved.
No mRNA vaccine has ever been used until now.
Moderna never brought a vaccine to public until now.
Gov't gave complete immunity to the vaccine companies.
Everything about COVID was politicized to the nth degree

@BenAxelrod
Bad take.
Auctions are much better than drafts.
Chess vs checkers.
The reason we can’t have auctions in huge tournaments is obvious. But that doesn’t mean drafts are better.
Reason I like this bet so much:
#Seahawks
D collapsing, narrow passing tree, Baldwin one of a handful of guys w/ reasonable chance of leading NFL in targets (ABrown, ODB, Julio, Hopkins, Keenan Allen, Green, Evans, MThomas, Cooper), yet all of those guys were 15:1 or worse
As Vikings continue not to sign Justin Jefferson long-term, I can’t help but notice …
Minny only has 3 draft picks in 2025.
1st, 5th, 5th.
Interesting.
In totally unrelated news, Bills have lots of 2025 cap space & following picks:
1 1st
2 2nds (Minny)
1 3rd
3 4ths

You’re using government price data to dispute what everyone is telling you about food prices?
You’re a shill.
No way you’re real.
Silver now above $28.
Get ready.
When it gets above $30, will be a face-ripping move to $50.
Mining stocks like $AG, $HL, $CDE will explode, perhaps 2-3x what silver is doing.
Remember $PSLV > $SLV

Most people believe media silence on JFK assassination tells us something about RFK …
Not realizing it actually tells us something about media itself.

In lieu of $$, I once bought a man a subway sub.
He took one bite, said it tasted bad, then tried to get Subway to refund him the money.
Sad how ppl like this get in the way of those who legit need help.
@RotoPat
These aren't 80 YOs with health issues
These are pro athletes who aren't going to die from COVID (even if they contract it) ... whose livelihood depends on their bodies ... who want to know their health/bodies will be OK.
Asking questions is reasonable IMHO
2/2
@marwilliamson
If the corruption & lacks of ethics towards your campaign was that bad …
And I agree it was (just as it was to RFK, to Bernie in 2016, to Tulsi in 2020, etc) …
Then perhaps the solution is not to keep voting with those responsible?
@NateGearySports
I think Bills did not play w pace to protect the defense. “Complementary football.”
I’m sooo tired of Bills using that term.
You know what complements the defense? Scoring as many points as possible.

Matt has no angle. He’s neither a D nor an R, he’s just a proponent of truth and honest journalism. That’s why he’s one of the best we have.
You should read everything he writes, Mike.
He was one of few who honestly covered 2008 crash, conduct of courts.

@jimmy_dore
I see a threefold explanation:
1. People don’t want to admit they were wrong
2. People are afraid to acknowledge the LT effects
3. People see vaccines as partisan issue & partisanship is part of their identity. By attacking vaccines you’re hence attacking their identity.
Why is $silver in my portfolio?
1. Use case:
it’s a big part of solar, EVs, the green technology gov’t wants to implement in coming years
2. Coming off extended bear market:
silver is far under its ATH. We’re now in early innings of commodity bull market. Price will 🚀
Those feeling sorry for Denver, Bills have had Jake Fromm isolated from their other QBs all year in case this happened to them.
I have that right, don’t I,

Denver situation not totally unforeseeable.
@minakimes
Sorry, but what’s been said about Buttker is 50x worse than anything he said.
Women should be able to choose home or work. Society often pushes them to work (if only b/c it’s so hard to support a family on 1 income).
There’s nothing wrong w Buttker reminding ppl of virtues
@scottmelker
Is this true? Who knows.
But you’re dead wrong that it shouldn’t be published
We live in a world where “elites” are protected, never exposed. Epstein client list is a great example
As a society, we need more exposure, not less. Let public decide what’s true & what isn’t
@minakimes
That working is necessary to a fulfilling life.
Not necessarily so.
Alas, I stand by the point. Buttker had enormous love & respect for his wife … and is being met with complete hatred.
@PFF_Sam
You gotta see there’s a difference between a QB sneak in a normal offensive formation and what Philly does, with all 11 guys on each side in a huge pile-up.
All-purpose RBs get overlooked for HOF in favor of the ultimate dinosaur stat, career rushing yards.
Sure, let’s reward the one-trick pony who couldn’t threaten defenses in multiple ways. 🙄
Give me Tiki Barber over Jerome Bettis any day.
I’ve been pro-Edge in Canton for years & applaud the great

for making his compelling case over the years & executing in 2020.
One of the greatest all-purpose RBs of all time.

@AOC
AOC isn’t wrong
To be “wrong,” she’d have to try to be getting it right.
All she’s doing is parroting partisan talking points
I used to think she’d be different. But now she’s just like every other politician, aligning w every partisan point instead of doing what’s “right.”

@tkyles39
You aren't calling out bigotry, Mina.
You're insulting & name-calling those who don't share your views.
Diversity, inclusion, and tolerance require understanding & acceptance of dissenting views.
Like Reid & Mahomes did today.
Take a cue from them, please.
@PatrickMoranTB
Here’s what you’re missing:
Bills haven’t gotten many possessions past two games. Just 4 per half, basically.
Injury depleted D can’t get off field, so opponents are sustaining drives & bleeding clock. This is the result.
I still trust EPA numbers. Bills O would look
@SharpFootball
This is brilliantly written, Warren.
As someone who lives & dies with Bills and wrote for RotoWire for 20 years, let me assure you:
I completely agree.
@BillsChatPod
When this happened, the entire stadium was dead silent.
I screamed, at the top of my lungs, “that is the best player in the NFL.” A chiefs fan turned around and said “I agree.”

Beasley was right about Covid. No question. Especially the mandates.
It’s a shame more wouldn’t stand up the way he did.
That said, it did become a distraction, and unless you’re a star player, teams don’t like that.
Both of these can be true.

By contrast, almost everyone else in MSM who covers the Russia angle is a hardcore D or R.

I’m nowhere near Oprah net worth, obv. But I’ve donated $500k as an adult.
I see what Oprah is doing as a scam.
Why? Her own words make clear that she didn’t donate money. She spent $10M on “infrastructure”. Basically, she created a fund.

It blows my mind how the left claims to promote tolerance & inclusion ...
Yet cannot stop calling Butker names ...
Instead of saying what Reid & Mahomes did today
Tolerance
Inclusion
Diversity
Take a cue from what Mahomes & Reid said today.
@AlZeidenfeld
Three points:
1. Once gov’t begins taxing unrealized gains, it’s only a matter of time before it expands the scope of ppl to whom this tax applies.
2. This will drive capital out of USA & push successful ppl to create businesses in other countries.
3. We must stop giving
I’ll say it again:
With his current stats, Josh Allen would be unanimous 2023 NFL MVP if Bills weren’t historically bad at coughing up late leads.
It’s insane how media/people can’t see this. See my pinned tweet.
More research on the Bills' defense in the 2 minute drill in 1 score games ahead of the

Film Room tonight. And this one does not look good for Sean McDermott.
In 2023, the Bills have been the worst defense in the NFL in series conversion rate allowed.

I liked Diggs a lot … on and off field …
Until he started doing this weird shit.
Josh always supported Diggs publicly. Never anything negative.
I’m sure the team got tired of that sentiment not being reciprocated.
@RSherman_25
Your opponents in these debates can’t support their arguments w stats, so they:
* Walk off the set
* Make up the stats
My respect for you has risen a lot, Sherm. I doubt I’m alone there.
Keep crushing.

Pfft. If that were true then the Browns and Jets - the QBs of the teams you mentioned - wouldn’t have struggled at the position for so long.

We should all want independent studies that seek truth on two questions:
1. Are clotting/heart issues higher than normal?
2. If so, why?
Pointing to one example of a heart issue from 30 years ago does nothing except show you have a preconceived notion of what those studies

Feminism is a clever way to disguise how the economy is rigged …
Such that families can’t make it on one income …
to force women to work
I’m amazed how many buy the narrative hook line and sinker.

Covid was biggest event of our lifetime.
Economic response to Covid changed the world.
Why does wanting to discuss/debate this make Rodgers a loser?

Niners also gave decent money to Jennings, known as a great blocker.
Barring injury or trade, hard to see how Pearsall sees the field.
I think Niners planning on being w/o Aiyuk or Deebo next year & this is redshirt year for Pearsall.
@YardsPerPass
Golden State Warriors had some awful coaches for a long time …
Then they got Steph Curry.
Even w Curry, Mark Jackson was not the coach they needed to lead them to a title.
Needed to get Steve Kerr.
Is McDermott Mark Jackson?
Do Bills need Steve Kerr?
@Pat_Thorman
That's a great way to illustrate the absurdity of taxpayer spending for NFL stadiums.
I'd combine that with how values of NFL franchises have increased in recent decades. Look at Snyder profits on Commanders sale.
Insane world.
@AllbrightNFL
A reaction this extreme is more of a red flag than the people who are asking the question.
If the vaccine had nothing to do with it, then it shouldn't be that hard to show ... and asking the question shouldn't create that level of animosity.
We all want what's best.
@KevinCole___
Last night was first ever game where a QB three for 350, ran for 65, and completed 75% of passes.
It’s going to take Allen winning a Super Bowl for general public to realize his good far outweighs his bad
I like this team’s chances.
They’re gonna be favorite at least twice,
