Too delicious … the “book banning” accusation in a thread addressing truth, reasoning and logic. Ethos (Credibility) Labeling conservatives “book banners” equates ordinary parents and school boards with regimes that outlaw entire ideas. In reality, these citizens are participating in the long-standing democratic practice of selecting age-appropriate material for publicly funded schools. This is stewardship, not censorship. Pathos (Emotion) The phrase “book banning” summons images of locked libraries and government purges. That framing is emotionally powerful but misleading. The books in question remain available in public libraries, online, and in stores. Conservatives appeal to a different emotion—protectiveness—arguing for developmental suitability, not for erasing ideas from society. Logos (Reasoning and False Equivalency) Removing a book from a school library is not banning a book. A ban prohibits all access under penalty of law; a removal is a curation decision about one venue. Public schools must choose what they stock, and communities have a right to set standards for minors. Equating selection with censorship is a classic false equivalency—it mistakes a limited, age-based decision for universal suppression. Conclusion (Avoiding Sophistry) Using “book banning” as a blanket label substitutes rhetorical force for accurate reasoning—what Aristotle (and Plato before him) would call sophistry. It obscures the genuine question of how schools choose materials suited to children. By separating emotion from logic, we see the accusation collapses under scrutiny. The real debate should focus on age-appropriate education, not caricatures of censorship.

Need more details on this

That kicker will be cut tomorrow

The narrative is killing them now…and the baby too.

Have my tickets. Parking can be an issue. Falcons are probably 3rd behind UGA and the Braves.

This guy needs to be sent to the sun Such a bitter disgusting ex president. Whose legacy is erased. But unfortunately we have to live in and clean up the ***t hole he left us.

No one is disagreeing with that, but their execution of that plan was very bad. They fixed it a bit later in the season when Josh got hurt and they brought in some experienced backups to play and learn from, but by that point the cat was out of the bag and Josh really couldn’t keep sitting once he was healthy.

Original claims of 26 were a lie. As was the narrative around the entire protest.

For a Bills game, it will be a lot of fun. As others noted, atmosphere for Falcons is meh, but it will be likely 60-70% Bills fans. Concessions are crazy inexpensive. Concourses are wide and open so you rarely feel confined when walking around. Traffic is gonna be brutal for a 7 pm game in Midtown, so give yourself time to get there.

I guess it's good that they do other events than just the Falcons games in the stadium.

Sitting a rookie quarterback is always the right decision It will never hurt a quarterback learning the NFL game from the bench which is what the bills wanted to do .. Josh would have cleaned up some of his flaws sooner if he didn't get thrown to the fire... Getting thrown to the fire sharpened him like iron but he also didn't correct his flaws for a while.. he was Brett favre.. a play making machine with 15 turnovers a year.. that could have got coached out from the bench sooner... Go bills

My friend, Peterman was terrible and had shown it multiple times to that point in his non-preseason career. Not only did they peg him as the starter going into the season, they were so sure it would be ok that they traded away AJ McCarron before the season. They massively missed on that QB decision. Then they had to turn to Josh or risk losing the locker room. And it was the beginning of Josh covering up for flaws of this regime. I still think McDermott is a good coach, Beane an ok GM and both are good enough with Josh to win a Super Bowl. But Josh is the main reason it will happen.

I agree I agree I agree

i don't buy it sorry i don't believe it was some master plan that they had to abandon after one half of the first game of the season lol. if you do, kudos they tried their hardest to ruin allen imo

Peterman was a good practice quarterback.. everywhere he's went coaches has lauded his ability to practice very well And again the history of NFL football says grooming a quarterback from the bench is the correct way to do it.. it didn't matter if it was Nathan Peterman or gibran hamdan... McDermott was not going to trot out Josh Allen week one he was going to give the veteran every chance Josh Allen took years and years to get rid of a lot of his flaws which would be corrected from the bench easier Coaches just don't have the time to sit a quarterback on the bench for 3 years learning anymore.. but it is the correct call.. no quarterback will get hurt sitting and learning the NFL game Every single quarterback can benefit from learning the game from the bench in the NFL.. most coaches just don't have the time to do that

28 seconds is an eternity..the Bills have become really good at not doing that. Coaching and QB mistakes to not run way more clock. Teams that don’t know how to win do this.

Is there another reason why they created these?

yeah, in favor of Peterman who he not only himself drafted but watched w his own eyes play football just screams i know how to develop QBs right

Of course. We know. They encouraged the whole thing then let them in the building.

We're going into week 4 and already We're predicting the 1st 1 seed in decades? I think we're the best team in the AFC but let's be humble before we get humbled, either by injury or lousy play .. I've always been super optimistic and I continue to be but alot of yall are talking like we're just going to breeze to a 1 seed , it's September, there will be adversity.. With that said, yes sit them but we can't develop a culture where we're sitting guys til X game because we think we're that full of ourselves.. That mindset will crumble this culture and keep us with 0 SBs

I wonder what the rationale for that rule is. Is the concern that it is almost like an onsides kick?

McDermott's planned the entire time was to sit Josh Allen.. he started the preseason as the QB 3 Even if we had tyrod Taylor level play they weren't going to throw Josh in until the next year.. Peterman being historically bad made the change happen If we had even average they're not making the change that year... A bad organization names the top pick qb1 right out the gate... And throw them to the fire.. we literally gave Josh Allen development from training camp as the qb3 and were trying to hold off Ryan Fitzpatrick or tyrod Taylor would have kept him on the bench for one season and it would help

revisionist history there is zero reason to believe sitting Allen behind Peterman was some stroke of developmental genius that they immediately abandoned after 1.5 games

It's because it's hard to win a super bowl John elway didn't win a super bowl till his penultiman season.. the Buffalo Bills had Hall of Fame rosters with Jim Kelly another Hall of Fame quarterback and never won one I also already made the point that McDermott trying to sit Josh Allen shows his hands are all over it and it shows how smart he is.. because not one quarterback coach in the world would say sitting a rookie quarterback is bad for them It is always the right move and quarterbacks back in the day used to all sit even if they were first round picks.. Drew Brees Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, even Aaron Rodgers and Patrick mahomes Sitting a quarterback is never the wrong idea.. it will only fix your flaws Showing McDermott absolutely new what he was doing.. the only problem was nobody expected Nathan Peterman to be that freaking bad that we had to throw Josh to the fire .. the bills would have went through a 6 in 10 year with Peterman if he didn't throwing an interception every other pass.. even 10 touchdowns and 12 interceptions they would have lived with Sitting him 100% the correct coaching call.. that actually gave me more confidence in McDermott than anything because he does have control.. nobody wants to sit your top round quarterback but it is the right decision
