How come new automatically means a downgrade?

We didn't have a great offensive coordinator, didn't have a good QB and you are using "didn't improve" in multiple spots as negatives. On top of that, Edmunds is a freak and could very well have a big impact as a rookie (that does happen).

As far as I'm concerned we slightly downgraded at QB, the effect of which can be lessened dramatically by having McCoy. Other than that we swapped some parts out, but are overall a similar team. Agree to disagree, we aren't a significantly worse team at the very least and we DID make the playoffs last year.

I actually didn't mean to say it automatically was a downgraded roster. Sorry if it came off that way. My point was more that its a very different team. Sometimes it can take a team with that much turnover more than 1 off-season to bring it together, especially when the QB and ILBs are being replaced since those positions are so important.

Are people ever going to get over Kane while simultaneously accusing people of not being over Kane?

It's the hockeybuzz paradox.

We're stuck in some sort of degenerate positive-feedback cycle.

That seems fair. Totally agree there is more doubt or more question marks on various players on the team and positions.

Last year, I thought we were a sure fire top5 pick in the draft. I berated some of my friends for being homers because they were predicting an end to the drought. I could definitely be wrong as I have in the past, but I'm not ready to throw it away IF McCoy is still here. If he's gone, I agree we're sunk. I think he's that important for us...

Does he ever land on anything other than "GO WILD"?

Apparently the cameras were removed before the " home invasion" seems fishy to me ..

What happens if she hired the guy to rough her up and just blame it on McCoy and she took out the cameras

He lands first on "GO WILD" then falls over onto "STRIKE OUT."

If nothing else, lets not get worked up over deleted Instagram posts from uninvolved third parties and, especially, stories from (frank)ing TMZ.

Wow, hot take Tuesday up in here

I already took a video of myself burning his jersey and posted in on twitter. I knew he was guilty when he played for the Eagles.

Sadly TMZ and Deadspin have broken more news than real news sources.

However it's shady that she would tag TMZ in her instagram post,

The police issued a statement saying they believe it was a targeted break in.

Again this doesn't make sense, McCoy was taking the woman to court to get her out of the house that he owned. The court date was scheduled for today. Why would anyone do this the night before the court date to settle that?

Because Gerbe wants so bad for him to be innocent, because he's, well, the running back of the Buffalo Bills.

Kind of have me cornered on this one fitz. I'll just say it was an Eagles Jersey and we can move on together.

What's the matter with that? I hope he's innocent too, not because me and Shady are bros...

Doesn't mean anyone wants him to escape justice if he did participate in any criminal act.

Not necessarily
But u also miss things live depending on what you’re focused on
At least with tv, u can rewind or do slow-mo, etc
You can easily see more than enough on tv to form educated opinions

This all depends upon 'how many rows up from the ice' you are sitting.

If you go to the games and then watch the games on DVR, is it ok to form an educated opinion? Wouldn't that give you the best of both worlds?

My point was, you can see more at the games in regards to what risto is doing to opponents. Especially other teams stars.

When you watch the games on tv, YOU SEE WHAT THE CAMERA IS SHOWING YOU.

Why does everything with you turn into some long drawn out stupid arguement? I wasn't even discussing this with you.

3ER was the only human capable of prognosticating the outcome of last year's Bills season. Just another log on the fire. Like they always say, 3ER isn't always right, but aint ever been wrong.

Matthew Fairburn posted an article on The Athletic rounding up what we know so far. ESPN has some of the same information. Here's some excerpts from Fairburn's article:

***
The Milton County Police Department released the following statement to the NFL Network. McCoy is not specifically named in the statement.

“On July 10, 2018 at approximately 3:18 A.M., Milton Police responded to a home invasion at a residence on Hickory Pass near the Cherokee County line. The preliminary investigation indicates that this residence was specifically targeted by the suspect or suspects, and not a random incident. When officers arrived they found one victim who had been physically assaulted by a lone intruder. During the altercation, the suspect demanded specific items from the victim. An adult female victim was treated and released at North Fulton Regional Hospital. A second adult female victim also sustained a minor injury during the incident.”
***
Court records in Georgia show that McCoy has been trying to evict Cordon from his home in Milton, Ga. since last July. In court papers filed in Georgia, McCoy claimed the two “were no longer in a relationship” and that McCoy had allowed Cordon to live rent-free at the premises for five months.

Jacoby Hudson, McCoy’s attorney, told The Athletic on Tuesday that McCoy was in Miami at the time of the alleged incident. Hudson also claims McCoy had security cameras at the house that Cordon removed.
***
Another alleged friend of Cordon’s posted the same split image from the original Instagram post on Facebook, claiming in her caption that people were “sent in [Cordon’s] house” to “rob [Cordon].” That Facebook post still remains up at the time of this article’s publish.

I agree with Stripes that this looks increasingly fishy as more facts come out.
