Should've stuck with our P we drafted.. Some fugazi allegations and they release him, ridiculous

Not that it didn't count, that it never existed Many jurisdictions will hold that you cannot obtain consent from an intoxicated person, similar to how a contract signed under equivalent conditions would likely be unenforceable

Some decent shows at the NYS Fair this year... nice that they are included with your entrance admission ticket. https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/rochester/news/2024/05/31/concerts-music-performances-new-york-state-fair-2024?cid=id-app15_m-share_s-web_cmp-app_launch_august2020_c-producer_posts_po-organic

BTW, you implicitly raise something that I meant to bring up. If our D had played the same way down the stretch as it did in "Dorsey's" 5 losses and without any help from STs (Miami) or D (NE), we'd have been lucky to get to 3-4 and 8-9 overall. We allowed an average of 24 PPG in those first 5 losses. Had we allowed 24 in all of our last 7 games we'd have won only 3 pending the Chargers game which would have been a tie. The Chargers with a 24th ranked D and fielding absolutely nothing of starting caliber talent on offense in that game. We'll figure it out this season. Excuses and scapegoating can only go on for so long. As to Shakir, as I posted before, I see no reason why he couldn't be a 100 catch 1,500 yard and 10 TD WR in this offense. Will it happen? And consider, if it did, if we had someone that knew how to maximize our passing game, and Shakir did hit or even get close to that, imagine what Kincaid and the others would do on coattails. The offense would be explosive as it should be. Instead we render Allen to the short-medium game, focus on running, and defense. Seems to me that if we cut loose our passing game we could go 13-4 or 14-3 perennially and have a whole lot more success in the playoffs. The D would still be good, it simply wouldn't dominate our game strategy. No need for all of these down-to-the-wire games against siht teams, we should have blown most of the teams we lost to, and some others, out. We have the talent on offense.

I never changed the topic because I never commented to you or things you said. I joined a side convo where there was discussion of real estate vs index funds on why I think people should do both. Then you decided to start commenting at me under your previous context even though none of my posts were directed at you or what you had previously proposed. But since you brought it back to your original thoughts, technically all I’m discussing is really a 3rd option where a player does both…rent and buy. Now it’s ok that you don’t agree with me on the 3rd option, but my part of this convo was never directed at you or your original comments. But given you have brought the two discussions together multiple times now, I will say it’s not only a viable 3rd option to your original 2, but also a great option to both preserve and grow newfound wealth for these rookies. For example, If Chris gamble would have done it 20 years ago as the 28th pick in the 2004 draft, his assets and portfolio would be almost double the gross value (even before agents and taxes) of his entire 5 year rookie contract today with permanent significant monthly income for life. So feel free to dismiss it or disagree with it, that’s fine, but doesn’t change the fact that a young player getting early assets as a rookie into long term holdings could literally set him up for life after football. And as an investment property, it doesn’t have to be KC, it can be anywhere they feel best about.

Nope. Not what I was saying. I was addressing the specific issue of a woman giving her consent in the moment. Then she withdraws consent after the fact and presses rape charges. Her argument is that she was drunk, and therefore her consent didn't count. If a woman doesn't give consent, and a man has sex with her anyway, then that's rape. Period. End of story.

This is the type of content I want to see!

sure, then at least the game will start earlier here. the attendees are mostly a bunch of suits anyway, so who cares where the game is?

I think you are making assumptions about the female that you have no way of knowing. What if said girl wasn't a heavy drinker and she happened to get drunk and lose inhibitions, even flirt with men having a good time. What if she WAS promiscuous, or even a Prostitute. Is your stance that even such a woman as that, a slut cannot be raped? It seems tto me hat the responsibility of who forces who to have sex is the issue. Her consent? Are you thinking she wanted it? asked for it by being drunk? OH HOW DARE SHE DRINK in front of horny men. she was asking for it. Maybe she was unable to consent being blacked out. Shouldn't;t have been drinking though. How dare her SMH ******* Lord have mercy.

yeah its all about the FG holding aspect, if Browning is a decent punter and a great holder that Bass has confidence in, he gets the job. I don't plan on punting much this season !

My dad moved from Buffalo to NE Ohio and married my mom. When the Bills started to get good in the late 1980s and be on TV he started watching them regularly. I really fell in love with the team and all the personalities leading up to that first Super Bowl. That was the first of four January nights that I snuck off to the bathroom as a kid when the clock hit zeros to cover my face with a hand towel and shed some bitter tears. The Bills used to hold joint scrimmage with the Pittsburgh Steelers towards the end of training camp. We went a few times and I got to meet all the greats (Levy, Kelly, Thomas, Reed, BRUUUCE!!! etc) The last time we went was after the 4th Super Bowl loss. We went on the field afterwards and my dad went up to Ralph Wilson and said, “Hey Mr. Wilson, we gonna win a Super Bowl this year?” In Ralph’s perfect whiny old man voice he started to lecture my dad: “Do you have any idea what the odds are of going to a Super Bowl once? How about two, three, and four times?!” Haha… My dad was embarrassed and pissed but now it’s just funny to think about: my father got scolded by Ralph Wilson for wanting a Super Bowl win! Let that sink in!

They last 4 SB’s have featured Kelce, Hill, Evans, Godwin, AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, Jamar Chase, Tee Higgins, Cooper Kupp, OBJ, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk. Bills fans - “we just need 3 Curtis Samuel’s!”

Did she pay out of the Clinton Foundation and then falsify the Foundation’s business records to cover it up? As I’ve said all along, if Trump had just paid out of the campaign funds, he would have been fine.

You can't even get to the Super Bowl these days without an elite pass catcher. We keep going round and round on this but the data is the data. Look at the recent history of Super Bowl participants going back at least five seasons. They all had a top tier pass catcher, and their #2 pass catcher was pretty damn good too at the very least. That is the formula. Like I've said elsewhere it is possible the Bills end up having that formula this year. Kincaid could take a big step and become an elite pass catcher. Coleman could end up hitting his potential sooner than expected. Maybe Shakir proves me wrong and can take on a much larger target share without a big drop off in his efficiency. Or the giant dark horse would be Claypool suddenly turning his career around and living up to his elite physical potential. We need two of those outcomes to happen. So yes I recognize that the Super Bowl formula remains a possibility for this group of pass catchers, but I also recognize that that formula is in fact pretty much mandatory these days. If you want to say that you're optimistic the current group of pass catchers will produce an elite player and a very good #2, cool I can respect that. It's part of being a fan. If you want to say having top tier pass catching talent is optional, I'm sorry but that statement is flat out wrong.

They didn’t have those same receivers in 21. Beasley got old. Brown had one foot out of the league and was cut. See, I don’t don’t believe you. I can’t believe that you think having prime Diggs, Davis, Beasley and half a season of prime John Brown wasn’t a big reason why Josh was so incredible in 2020. Just like why Mahomes was incredible when he had Hill, Kelce, Watkins etc etc. And yes, Mahomes counting stats particularly dropped when they traded Hill. But you know what they did? They signed JuJu. They traded for Toney. They drafted Moore, they drafted Rice, they drafted Worthy, they signed Hollywood Brown. They signed MVS when he was still young. This is so obvious. The team that won the SB twice with a much weaker receiving group after trading Hill have tried DESPERATELY to get their group to back that level. They haven’t had the success they were probably hoping for, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. And of course, retaining Kelce helps A LOT. The Bills saw that 2020 group get worse and worse and worse and did very little, with hilariously failed experiments like bringing back the corpses of retired Brown and Beasley, bringing in JAGs like Harty and Sherfield and culminating with the last of that 2020 group leaving, where our two early FA WR targets were Samuel and Hollins lol. This is all obvious. It was obvious then, which I was I have consistently hammered this point for the last 3 years. It’s even more obvious now.

By all means - go on…

The Bills have invested so much in receivers in the last 2 years out of necessity. They’ve got big goose eggs for Harty and Sherfield. Gabe Davis never materialized how they hoped. Diggs became a cancer and they didn’t help that situation at all. Then they had to replace out of necessity again after all those goose eggs left. They replaced them with a guy that drops more balls than Davis, a guy that has never proven to be anything special, another guy that is a bigger cancer and headcase than Diggs. And a completely unknown rookie. Yeah, I’d say they have this WR all locked. Got it. he’s not, but he’s not a guarantee he won’t be a complete bust, and again, let’s look at all the candidates we have to replace what we’ve lost. smh I get the hope that everything works out. If it does it’s great. But more often than not it doesn’t work out. We can’t expect all of these questions at the position will be the answers. At least not moving forward. Hell, MVS and Claypool are on 1 year deals. Even IF Coleman is a stud, we’ll still be right back where we’re, next year, looking to replace a real 2nd target.

It’s a mentality. Do you eat healthy? Do you push your body to build it up? Do you care about your fitness level and being able to grow old with your wife and kids, while able to active in their lives (to the extent you can as life events do happen). Do you protect those around you? How did you react during covid? Did you acquiesce to everything you were told? Did you stand up for people who were being pressured by the biggest societal propaganda campaign in our lives? Do you care about preserving our culture to the extent that those coming here that have zero intention of assimilating are recognized as a threat to our way of life? Or are you just a weak man?… Physically and ideologically. Many times the two are intertwined. If you don’t care enough about being strong and protecting others against cultural pressure, why would you care about your own body … and vice versa. Weak men create hard times .. and at least men who work out and care about their body have shown some level of hard work and discipline in a world that asks you to exist as doughy pin cushion for your masters.

I'm with you, I'd much rather be looking at what Franklin could be than giving chances to the retreads of Claypool or MVS (and lets face it Hollins was never supposed to be a starting outside WR). For me, if they bring in a top tier WR via trade it all makes sense. Then you don't take two in that instance because it would conflict with the path/increased role for Shakir. The backup for K Coleman would be the versatile C Samuel - while not the same type of player you can adjust the offense until he develops. If they don't add a top tier WR, I am baffled and disappointed at the new direction.

I can’t believe Chaya missed another

This season will tell us more, much more IMO. You also pointed out that we were 5-5 under Dorsey while 6-1 under Brady. My perspective has not changed one iota. Sometimes when I refer to things I'm referring to the going narrative(s), not necessarily what you stated. I also forgot to point out that it's interesting that of those 6 wins "under Brady" (i.e. why never "under McD"), our defense allowed 6, 10, 17, and 22 points. Had our D allowed 6 or 10 in Dorsey's games we'd have won all 5. If the D had allowed 17 we'd have won 4 of the 5. We wouldn't even be having this discussion. In short, our having gone 6-1 the last bunch of games had almost nothing to do with Brady. And my main point is that we haven't had an OC yet that has been able to work with Allen at 100% of his capabilities, particularly in the passing game. Poor defense is what led to a 5-5 record more than any other aspect of our play. It was absolutely an "upper management decision" pushed on Brady. No competent and sensible OC structures structures an offense like we have with Allen back there without being forced to. That's the entire point. McDefense is deliberately not hiring anyone competent to not be outshone or potentially lose his job to that person, which it seems would be incredibly likely given how our D folds and we make biggest coaching blunders in team history in the playoffs while continually playing not-to-lose. But that's not the narrative, far from it in fact.

that’s not what I’ve been saying. I’ve been firm in two things. bills have invested more in receivers (WRand TE) these last two years than some folks believe. winning a Super Bowl can be done with or without elite WR’s. Luckily he is not the only receiver on our team.
