This guy would be great for our offense! I doubt Beane would do it , but a guy can dream! He makes his own holes compared to Borghi who was running thru massive holes or catching passes in the flat. Huge difference in burst and quickness between the two. Borghi will struggle imho in the NFL but may have a role as a third down back, whereas Hall has bona fide NFL speed and is a three down back. I heard some draft Guys and people on NFL network saying he would be great for the dolphins at the bottom of the first round ( Baldinger really liked him there and thought he helped himself at the combine tremendously but also had great film) . This would be a huge talent to put with Josh, and have motor as his backup and moss just for insurance. It’s been a huge missing piece , and so many great qbs have been derailed getting a Lombardi by lacking a supporting running game, as we all know the history of Elway, Marino, and Manning when they lacked run support. We don’t need to take the crucial Carrie’s from Josh or minimize our passing game , we just need an EFFECTIVE threat and this guy looks like he can pick up yards despite backfield contact and has big play speed for the short passing game. Thx for posting that ; we need offensive speed and our cb/ dl needs can be met in FA and later rounds, as can wr depth which is deep in the draft. Not too many backs with that speed and power and I wish Beane would quit trying. to just make do at the Rb position. and help protect his best investment , Josh. He has underperformed getting talent there as well as the DL so far A good back can make an o line look a lot better as well

No criminal charges for Deshaun Watson; civil deposition 3/15
DrPJax replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
And OJ was also found not guilty. Sorry but this is a narcissist with so many complaints , and I will hold off wishing to see him play again until he is cleared in all civil suits. This is not normal behavior , how many people have had this many complaints filed against them ; how many people in your life do you know with even one suit like this against them? Just because it’s a he said / she said case is no reason to excuse this pattern of behavior as ok because they dropped criminal charges. If it was a single case , I would totally be understanding. Not all those women coming forward are motivated by money and wish to put themselves thru all this scrutiny. Why does a guy have so many masseuses when most pros have their own personal team of people they surround themselves with, let alone most teams also employ people for these services yet he had to have his massages outside of team facilities? Hmmmm. Just the fact that he kept moving on to so many different women ( also why haven’t we heard of any males he hired for massage? Seems unusual again as there are many male trainers and masseuses around NFL teams) suggests something unusual was going on. Hard to believe so many women would be outright lying as opposed to just this one male; doesn’t pass the sniff test or common sense approach. Our legal system is terrible, and I have seen many unbelievable things while testifying in malpractice cases as an expert ( facts get twisted or ignored and evidence can be disallowed etc) and even in contract disputes from a business standpoint where corporations or individuals with money work the system against those who can’t afford to hire high paid representation, so all I am saying is where there is smoke etc! I a sure the high morality NFL will have a place for this guy and he will continue to be enabled because of his ability to play football. Just for a comparison , I wonder how many women Josh goes to for massage and how many suits will be filed against him for this type of behavior ? Yeah , I am betting it never happens because his pattern of behavior is the antithesis of this guy. Good luck to the franchise getting him because behavior is a hard thing to change and good luck with the chance this never happens again. Patterns mean something and that’s why history is an important learning tool in behavioral science. I am sure he will settle, of course , because he can afford to , not because he wants to prove his complete innocence, and the NFL will embrace him like he did nothing ( however they did suspend him for a year so again they must have felt some justification legally to do so ). The court of “ public” opinion may mean a lot more in civil court since it’s members will be deciding things unless all cases are settled. Hey , the NFL has creeps like Snyder as owners, so one more at QB will just continue the status quo. Behavior matters, not statements or legal loopholes. I do understand your point and this was not meant to In any way attack you ; I am just saying our legal system is a mess ( people are not being charged caught walking out of places stealing things while all was seen on camera and assaulting people without being charged etc , so not a great period for our courts ), so a millionaire getting off without criminal charges is not very surprising in todays legal climate. -
Khalil Mack traded to Chargers for 2nd and 6th round picks
DrPJax replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall
Really are good points , yet Beane is facing his history of bad signings with the dl like Starr, Murphy, and lack of production from guys like Epenesa and Basham , and aging guys like Addison / hughes not producing much either. I can understand if the cap hit is that big , but watching as the Chargers pair up another good edge guy with Bosa while they also have found their franchise QB , is not a good perception overall for Beane. His poor dl production from talent is catching up with him for example being stuck paying a guy like Starr 7-8 mil ( think that close ) and that is not helping his overall look , especially after he was the guy who said he failed the first year after losing to KC in the afc championship game along the d line , and then ran it back with the exact same results the following year. Big year for him to get better talent / production with that line and things like this just show other teams aren’t sitting still and while we can win in a weak afc east , getting to the super bowl is the goal and it’s time for him to improve that line or soon he will not be as safe as we all think he would continue to be. -
Khalil Mack traded to Chargers for 2nd and 6th round picks
DrPJax replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall
Plus it says it’s in 2023 , so that’s not even this years draft , if correct that almost ,lowers the values a round for the picks ! A huge need for us and we miss out on this , even if it was for 2022 picks it would have been worth it for us. Now he is teamed up with Bosa! Someone is taking the qb heavy addition of Wilson very seriously. This is one time I think it’s fair to be critical of Beane missing out on a big need while a very competitive team already with a premiere rusher knows they have to get after Mahomes and Wilson and they didn’t sit still. Mean while back at The Bills, we are working on cutting guys who could have been cut almost right as the season ended as it’s not like the guys released so far we’re tough decisions. Not a FAVORABLE look they were trying to portray with the stadium talks etc going on. So we are “busy” trying to figure out if Hughes or Addison will still be around to run it back after two years of not getting past KC. The bad FA dl signings by Beane are catching up to him , along with slow developing dl draft picks like Epenesa. This is just not a great look for Beane right at this moment in time, as we still are dealing with overpaying Star as well. Just because we have Josh doesn’t mean we can sit still with this defense that underperformed in games against good qbs , especially with that terrible performance against KC being fresh in every fans memory. Have to say missing out on a Buffalo guy like this , in an area of need , is a major disappointment in my belief overall in Beane, especially given the poor track record of success he has had in his tenure with D Line talent. He is safe for now because of Allen, but he can’t keep having things like throwing picks and bad FA d line signings while at the same time NOT getting past KC or to the Super Bowl. Critical year for him with the stadium deal etc; Pegulas will be expecting a ROI soon and another early exit this year might actually put him in jeopardy. He is not bulletproof and all the changes going on around him in the AFC are putting him under pressure for a good draft and actually IMPROVING our talent and producing better results this year. It’s early, let’s see how he can turn the “PERCEPTION” battle back in his favor. -
Really true. Indy rings a bell and if they get Jimmy G or Mitch , they will be a playoff team we may need to go thru. I like Shaq, he was a guy who played with enthusiasm and I feel with the older vets like hughes et Al , we missed some of that last year and it showed as that D played flat like against lower level teams as Jacksonville. Sometimes you live and learn the grass isn’t always greener elsewhere and I bet Shaq would bring some gratitude , experience , and wanting to be back is about the growth process Mcd is always preaching about. We could, and more importantly , HAVE done worse with some of the d line Beane has gone with ( Murphy for example) in FA and I wouldn’t mind seeing Lawson back being good against the run and he made some key sacks / PBU’s that are things we lack consistency with. I would take him over Epenesa any day because after disappearing again last year , I really have my doubts he becomes the impact guy they thought he would become when he dropped to us. He dropped for a reason , maybe other teams scouts were right about the issues they saw resulting in passing on him. Time will tell but having a vet now like Shaq is what Mcd has chosen previously over guys we would be in a position to get in this draft as there doesn’t seem to be great talent on the edge likely outside of the first round.

I think this too. Just days after Frank was o. With Brown & Tasker and said how ,unchanged he believed in wentz! So even our righteous great guy Frank lied to his old teammate Tasker at the combine , again proving you can’t trust anyone in the NFL this time of year! Lol ! I think you put Mitch under Frank after a year of good coaching w Daboll etc, add Taylor’s run game , all that cap space , and this team ( the only team to eat us by double digits and thoroughly dominate us) is now a huge threat . Add Wilson now with Denver , the Bengals improving , and we are not sure of making it past the divisional or afc championship game esp given all our coming changes. Even Mcd said it’s much different being a coordinator ( compared to qb coach) in his own experience , and cautioned growing pains for our O as “ nothing beats experience “ for Dorsey. It just keeps going back to that blown chance last year. All I hear on podcasts, YouTube etc from our own die hard fans is how we are “ guaranteed to win a SB in the next three years “ , yet the competition is very high in the Afc and we still have not gotten past KC after two consecutive years trying. There are 16 qbs who got to the SB ONCE , Lost , and never made it back to the SB again ( and could be 17 if Burrow doesn’t make it back ) , just reinforcing how difficult it is to get there. This is making this next couple of months extremely important in assessing how Beane can keep this roster improving because other teams are already making big moves; I mean Brady , Stafford, Manning all won Sb’s after switching teams so Wilson in the AFC just made things more challenging. We have a few significant holes to fill , hopefully Beane isn’t forced because of the cap to repeat the mistake of last year by running it back without fixing our d line and CB issues that cost us against KC for the second straight year. FA and the draft are huge to get right this year , and I think we are in for a challenging year based on our roster and coaching changes and a much tougher schedule than last year. If Mitch ends up with Frank , that just makes it even more challenging because I think Frank is an excellent coach and his team physically pounded us ; adding a mobile QB coukd make Indy a terible matchup for us.

ESPN just reported the titans signed him. So he is off the market. Was just a quick notification I saw without. Hiking the details yet. I assume that’s all on espn. Busy day today. BTW, thx Klein for at least a few very good performances when asked and it’s a shame you didn’t get a title last year. Good guy, never complained but just performed pretty welll in very limited opportunities.

True buddy, but what has that mvp got them as well? He is always complaining how the team doesn’t support him with talent at Wr or whatever position he is currently complaining about, and so how does he look to help the TEAM , by demanding to be paid more than any other qb in the league probably. He proves there is no team in Aaron Rodgers. He is a headache diva, just last year holding out etc., and still is acting like things are up in the air. He just thrives on attention and that’s what I can’t stand about the guy. Despite his mvp regular season he was terrible in the playoff loss as well, and it was a home game loss in addition. He will prob get that as the gm sounds like he is happy with their “ new relationship “ ; I would love to see how that relationship is if Rodgers doesn’t just get whatever he demands he is worth right away. Wins matter in the postseason , and this guy does not have all that great of a post season record ( he has been responsible for other playoff losses with bad picks ), so those mvp awards and 5$ will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks and that’s about all its worth in my eyes. Stafford has as many Lombardi trophy’s as Rodgers , so it’s about the team and Rodgers always acts entitled because he thinks he’s unique just because he “ reads books”:! Lol ! How bout reading that headline Aaron, one title with all your great regular seasons; bet on your arrogant self with 40 mil and incentives IF YOU MAKE IT OUT IF THE FIRST ROUND !? It’s about next year , not what you did , so prove you can still perform with pressure of the playoffs.

What is the BEST pick you would trade for Saquon Barkley?
DrPJax replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don’t care what dr examines him, there is not one infallible orthopedist in the world who can predict the future , the affect on the other knee, and can guarantee it won’t tear again or that he regains his power, speed , confidence. See OBJ ! It’s a gamble n a guy who has a rough health history in the NFL. Willis mcgahee was another wasted pride pick by Donahue in addition. Get a back from a PS , free agents , street FA try outs , and see what happens in Zacs 3 rd year where there is precedent ( see motor) for it finally clicking. It’s like taking on mccaffery , he can’t finish 16 , let alone 17 games plus playoffs , so why take on someone’s JJ WATT? Guys with injury histories are huge risks. Rb is a young man’s position , shore up that o line , quit running blocking schemes we are poor at , keep bringing in young talent. If we can do that on DL and not hesitate because we missed , rb is no different and just as valuable. We need talent at bargain base prices now , not throw millions and have a guy play 8 or less games. Scouts need to look for durability and some minor upgrade in speed and a guy who can get yac with screens. -
I really want Fitzy to come back for this season
DrPJax replied to bubba2018's topic in The Stadium Wall
It’s not about money , it’s about a capable , available backup with similar skills for the scheme/ playbook. Stop the romanticism, he was a GOOD , not much above avg qb who threw picks at terrible times and now he can’t run as well at age 40 post hip injury. He won one memorable comeback game here; he lost more by very bad picks and that happened at other stops as well. Great fan, great guy , leave it at that. Groom a young guy with a later pick, or let’s see who becomes available. Mitch Is still possible. The Amish rifle is shot , mind willing , body has not held up well All our picks won’t make it on this squad , take a flyer in a rookie, trade , check the cfl or the new league after the season is over. Can’t beat Father Time, or poor decision making in crunch time; he can’t even add to the qb room as Josh is on a way diff level than fitz ever obtained and we have a new qb coach as well. Let them do their job and scout the leagues for a backup hopefully we never use more than a series or two. -
Great choice of words , DIVA, and others that come to mind like immaturity, narcissism,antithesis of leadership, naïveté, and don’t pee on me saying it’s raining! What a self serving piece of total BS, as if he is really worried about his teammates getting what they deserve! It’s laughable and I bet his teammates havea hard time not laughing behind his back! It’s like a classic LAMP, “ the record is so much better because “I AM YOUR QUARTERBACK” , with no comparable mention to the new coaching staff and multiple other changes they made. If you don’t give me the contract I have written for me ( I bet the team is going thru that manifesto with a black marker redacting and rolling on the floor) , you as a Team obviously are not serious about pursuing a championship! This is laughing stock type behavior and it’s hard to believe a sane adult didn’t step in and save this clown from himself. Talk about being surrounded by YES men ! Josh did this in the exact opposite, very professional way. As a result he cane across as a true professional, true leader , and it shows money is important , but not above what he loves most , his career of playing football. It’s a bit cliche , but Josh is happy to be out there and it comes across as if he would play for free if he had to; you know what I mean, playing football is first and the rest will work out. Not in Kyles world , where if you pay me what I think I DESERVE, then I’ll take my commitment seriously and only then can you hope to win with my vision of the team. What is with these qbs anymore? Why do they think they deserve such input that they are acting like it’s impossible to go on without them? Hell , even Brady didn’t have that type of influence as the GOAT, yet the Pats still won. This type of stuff fractures team unity , and this is just like giving in to a kidnapper, the demands will never stop. This is how Antonio Brown antics keep occurring ! Lol ! If I’m an owner , I would have a nice lunch in private, and remind this KID, what reality is, how fortunate he is to be where he is , and he has a contract to live up to. Do something besides some individual rewards and then we’ll revisit how valuable you are. Last thing I remember is how bad you got your A kicked in the playoff loss. He may not like hearing thst , but sometimes these guys need to hear the truth and not sugar coated ego boosting crap. He might even be a better man later growing from being fed some reality. Seeing this type of drivel really keeps adding to the joy of having Josh Allen as the face of the Bills organization. He is a humble superstar who plays with the joy of someone playing a game he loves, and it’s very refreshing from a fan’s perspective.

Kareem Hunt: Cut candidate. Possible 2022 Bill?
DrPJax replied to filthymcnasty08's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes but you have to have common sense. If you bring someone with a repetitive history of violence on your team , you , by proxy, are condoning that as having been ok. What are you going to do , not cheer if he scores a td? This enables these deniers who blame others for their behavior , and they look at cheers as approval or validation. They are ill, any fan praise turns into justification in their minds. The only way to do this is if they agree to therapy , signed off on by the therapist with no excuses for missed sessions. Some people do change but in my experience , most revert unless they see the need and desire change. I believe in second chances but with aftercare and monitored help. Do you believe that’s the way the NFL would Handle things : this is a league that notifys players in advance for drug testing ! Also football is a violent sport , it’s based on physicality , not emotional well being. Most businesses and professions hold their employees to high standards. I’ll give you one example in my profession. If a dr in Florida gets a dui, or uses drugs ( anesthesiologists have been caught taking drugs off the cart meant for use for a patient! ) , they are immediately suspended. After months of therapy , they enter a 5 year program of aftercare where they are called randomly ( holidays, beimg out of town are no excuses) and they must drop a urine within 24 hours. If they don’t, it’s considered a failure and they are again suspended and may permanently lose their license ( which is a privilege to serve and care for patients). They also are required to attend at least once a week support group meetings. No excuses! So for their FIRST INCIdent , they are committed to a 5 year intensely monitored program! Any relapse starts the 5 years all over. Pretty intense , right? But it’s to help that PERSON ( not the “ dr” or “ player” ) have a healthy life. Do yo t(ink the nfl , by giving a million dollar contract to a guy who attacked a woman , has a history of cutting ties at the drop of a hat if you’re not performing, cares about that PLAYER AS A HUMAN BEING AFTER THEY CANT PLAY? That’s why I applaud teams with moral lines. Kc will take anyone , but look at what that blanket acceptance has resulted in with Reid’s own family. I want the Bills to win a SB , but why can’t they do it with decent people we can care about and cheer for ? There are so many guys who can play ; why not go the route of choosing character guys like Allen ? That turned out pretty well, as he is also a positive for the community. Not many will donate to a hospital wing in the name of a guy like Hunt. I like the current culture the Bills espouse, winning yet encouraging players to be the best versions of themselves as players and men. -

Walter Football Mock with the Hot Take on our MLB
DrPJax replied to Richard Noggin's topic in The Stadium Wall
So using your terms , instincts below average, hasn’t been a difference maker , slightly above average, wouldn’t argue if someone called him average , his mental acuity and processing do him no favors. , I don’t think he’ll ever be a defensive playmaker, not a guy opposing teams have to account for. Those are YOUR words ! Take away the name and by any other means ,a 1 st round 16 th pick whi was traded up for and now entering his 5 th year and the club has yet to exercise a new contract or options , and to me that’s about as close to the definition of a bust as one can come. Plus he is stiff and not all that athletic compared to other LBs who are difference makers and what’s the argument that all thise deficiencies make him GOod? Haha, you have just pointed out what a bust is , and while maybe not as bad as ford as a bust , his play is not impactful and we get torched in the middle all the time. Many sites have him ranked 32 nd amine inside LBs. For a first round draft pick who we spent two picks to acquire, usuing your own words, this guy is a bust as he is used. If all you expect is below average play from your first round picks In their 5 th year , then the bar you set is lower than any other club I have read about. He comes up small in big games. Look up how many ints, how many career PBUs he has as such a fast athletic body supposedly and he is a consummate underperformer. Call me the next time he makes a game winning play. Nice guy, no instincts, plays soft 95% of the time. Why people keep apologizing for this guy amazes me. He’s young but is a vet of the nfl. By now he is what he is. There may be worse LBs , but no one can argue in good faith this is all you expected drafting him that high. We can’t do worse drafting and allowing someone to compete with him. It’s delusional to think he is a. Impact Lb. Read your own words and let them sink in and be honest , you actually believe no one could do better if drafted and given 4 years to develop? I would try as it’s hard to believe we coukd do any worse. He is , as you state , below average and feared by no one ! Facts are facts. -
Interesting , but not sure it relates to retirement. Couldn’t all the same sentiments apply if he is leaving GB and plans playing elsewhere next year? Maybe he has to let GB know by March 1 st for roster bonus purposes etc, and is doing this early to start the process of seeing who will be interested in signing him and let the bidding wars start. He doesn’t sound like he has anything but joy playing football reading that , but probably is fed up with the GB process or supporting cast / lack thereof ( don’t they have a huge amount of unsoent cap space ? Makes you wonder how good they can ever be if they are never willing to spend close to the cap,). I have a hard time thinking he wants to end his career going out with an early exit from the playoffs with his sub par performance being a big reason for that. Plus he saw Brady win the first year after leaving the Pats and throw in the same for Stafford , and why wouldn’t he think he could do the same thing with another club? The only thing I don’t get is everyone speculating he will be with an AFC club like Denver / Tennessee etc, when that conference is loaded with QB talent and I think is much harder to reach the SB from because of that ( unless GB has some say in who he will be allowed to sign with and won’t allow him to move within the NFC?). Given his self worth tho , he might be confident that he has superior talent to all those younger AFC qbs and is confident if surrounded by good talent which he lacked in GB he will have a great shot at making another SB. Will be interesting to see what happens Wednesday with the Gm press conference, but again, I don’t read anything specific in that statement that makes his retirement a sure thing. I hope he does stay out of the AFC because the competition for the Bills is already high given all the uncertainty with coaching and player changes and he would be another huge obstacle for the Bills SB ambitions.
-
Have seen a few drafts with him taken several picks before the Bills in the first round and I know one did project him to the Bills. So he is not under the radar by any means and a good possibility he is off the board when we pick , leading to the auburn cb mcreary (?) going to us. Majority of drafts so far I have seen have us taking CB. Lots of first round cb talent.

Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley Break Up, Call Off Engagement
DrPJax replied to Sargent Hulka's topic in Off the Wall
His window for actually closing one if this deals is closing quickly ! Soon will be out of the NFL premiere wedding position of QB; thinks he is immune to being waived both on and off the “ playing” field! What’s left when you aren’t being adored by packer fans , getting all those benefits like being in demand for appearances and holding a team hostage because “ they need you so much “ , going to all those wonderul award shows that mean you are such a valuable person!? I’ve watched this guy on macafee and he’s insufferable as they all slobber on him just because he graces them with his “ great intellect “ and has to “ impress “ Pat etc with his book of the week. Full of himself and full of s***! This guys greasy ponytail crap is lathered in smugness; all because he won ONE SB and the most avaialable individual award he so arrogantly had the nerve to call a reporter a bum over just because the guy had his own opinion about mvp. Pretty entitled guy , whose video I love watching as he squirmed in the green room on draft day ! Man I bet he and Farve in the same room was a hard squeeze thru the door! He doesn’t need a wife anyhow as I’m sure all his exes have figured out, not as long as he has him and MVP VOTES! ( sorry , just find the guy hard to like or see do well as he seems so narcissistic) 🤮 can’t wait to see that day when GB finally moves on! ( just hope he doesn’t land in Pittsburgh, Tennessee cuz he could interfere with one more year of Josh getting home field advantage , esp with Henry ) They should do it now, why make him the highest paid qb at 50 mil a year when they just lost with him playing poorly in the playoffs? Hey , if there is life after Brady and 7 SB titles , GB can do okay without this guy dictating to them every year and keeping the club in Limbo. 50 mil can bring in a lot of talent for years to come , and they are in very good hands with that young HC. They survived Farve being shown the door, learn from that ( how many more SB titles did Farve win after leaving?) before he figures out he’s becoming an old maid and tries hitting you up for alimony as a common law wifey ! 😊😉 -
Rams Team Building Strategy Will It Be Duplicated or a Rareity
DrPJax replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall
Worked ONCE, by 3 points , taking the lead with less than two min left. Pretty hard to reproduce that building process. More luck. Brady was out , lacking weapons, Rodgers played poorly and was eliminated. Then they got lucky not playing the Bills if Chiefs, but got a Hc first time in the playoff run and against a sophomore Qb in his first huge game. That’s not some grand reproducible blueprint but more likely once in a lifetime everything breaking your way type of luck. Not saying it didn’t work this once , but let’s see how anyone reproduces that scenario. Bills have tried FA additions, but they just didn’t work well in the current coaching schemes. It’s just one title which will be forgotten quickly as Rams fans will not be happy not getting back to the game next year. I think they have a Good shot of even not making the playoffs next year. They are no dynasty ! -
Good for her , couldn’t care less about Beyoncé or people in her world or culture. Still refers to a woman ( or I guess her finger as an isolated thing )as it , Which is probably great in hip hop culture. Just saying if someone , like myself, has no knowledge or place in my life by choice for Beyoncé and doesn’t know or care about her lyrics , just reading the sentence can be misinterpreted. I don’t care how someone refers to their fiancé , they know what’s best and I stated I was JK about it, relating to how I have to be careful regarding my dearest Finnish friend , who can be a little sensitive! Lol. I only mentioned it cuz I’m a boomer and date boomers mostly who would not know hip hop references anymore than I do. Rock yes, hip hop not so much! Honestly , they don’t follow rap / hip hop / or people like Beyoncé or cardi B for cultural trends or as “ influencers”. Just relating an anecdote about my Finnish friend who has a phd in pharmacy and ran the online pharmacy for a national chain getting her pharm license in every state ( pretty amazing feat! ) and also got her realtor license as a side hobby , is from a very different and refined culture and just knowing her , saying put a ring on it would be foreign to her as she doesn’t follow Beyoncé or that culture in the 20 years I have known her. If I said that or wrote that about her and she read it on a site like this , , she wouldn’t get it either and me quoting Beyoncé lyrics wouldn’t cut it as an appropriate thing in her eyes as she requires a high level of respect! Haha, it is what it is and in my experience , the highly independent and very educated women I have met are usually not well versed in hip hop culture. Just my experience , so that’s my life and all I am commenting on! 😇 BTW why are you that knowledgeable about Beyoncé enough to quote that stuff anyhow ? Lol ! Guess you are much younger cuz I grew up on classic rock , and Beyoncé / hip hop just never cut it for me , just like the guy who quoted Keith Richards take on it , not really all that musical to my ears! Lol ! . Thx but no thx for any link to her or the ridiculous behavior they tout as being something for women to emulate or her being some example of being a strong or feminine woman. They don’t really act that way and She is not much better than cardi b talking about wap! Haha! I prefer someone with class in black culture like Candace owens who is a leader , thinker , and has great family values which are lacking in hip hop culture. Also prefer a black leader like Brandon Tatum , previous police officer who despises how current hip hop culture promotes being a victim, anti police rhetoric, women being baby mamas without fathers being in their childrens lives etc. Sorry , that’s another story , just saying any link to Beyoncé as education is wasted on me as we share different values and she lives in a world of wealth and a culture I just can’t Relate too. Thx tho cuz I know your intentions were good and just for fun! 😊. If you ever date a Finnish woman tho , be careful !! All that cold there must make for them having a more serious sense of humor! 😀

I am old school, it wouldn’t feel as satisfying winning one like that after all they did was rent a bunch of talent for one year. Those guys have no ties to the fans, community , or have any sense of culture or loyalty to each other or the organization. It just doesn’t feel like a part of the way the Bills mafia has been there , suffered with the team and stuck with them thru thick and much thin. It’s a Hollywood type of team and all those guys will go their separate ways, having used the team as a way to just say hey I got my ring. The Bills are more than just one SB title to me, they are part of my life for a long time and I like it meaning something to the players who understand what the Bills mean to a small community and also embracing the Bills past and their past players. Just throwing in guys like Miller or obj as quick mercenaries doesn’t appeal to me. I like having Allen being a risk , one doubted by everyone outside if Buffalo , who has grown into a superstar but still is important to the community and now even his family is involved with Buffalo as his grandmother has a hospital wing named in her honor. The core of the team has been draft picks and free agents who weren’t fitting in or weren’t appreciated until they fit in together in the culture they have all now helped establish under Mcd. I don’t mind adding free agents who are going to stay for some time and add to the culture and community. I don’t get that sense from that Rams team and there is nothing special to remember about that team. Really , who will think much of that group as time passes? Winning a SB will be great , but it will be much more meaningful having gone thru things like 13 seconds together and then finally overcoming all of the Allen doubters and all the bad breaks to finally win one for the Bills mafia! I know it’s sentimental stuff but I’ve put a lot of years into following the team and even people on here , and I hope we win it the old fashioned way ; building it from nothing and finally guys like Hyde and poyer , Josh , Gabe, Tre, Diggs , guys who want to be a part of that Bills culture, finally get rewarded. It will mean something more than just “ let’s buy a title “: ; that just doesn’t feel like a blue collar , hard work ethic type of team building and it just wouldn’t feel like it was anything more than just a gimmicky one trick year. I have been waiting a long time for a SB win , and I want it to feel worth that wait when it happens. Yesterday it just felt like it was about a bunch of individuals who care about themselves and that doesn’t seem Billsy to me ! -
That’s fantastic ! Happy for you ! Might want to watch the use of the pronoun “ it” tho ! Haha! Jk tho ! I am totally gun shy after my close “ friend” saw her pic on my phone screen and got upset cuz there were groups of icons / apps on the screen “ covering her up” ! I thought I was doing great just having her pic on there as the first thing that comes up as the Home Screen saver / pic , whatever ! Haha , if she saw me call her it , as in put a ring on it , I think she might tell me where to put “ it” ! 😬😀She’s from Finland tho and tends to be a little serious compared to other cultures I have dated women from ! Great gift tho and best wishes ; nothing better than a partner who can understand the place the Bills manage to wiggle into your life and create that little niche that nothing else can replace! Hope you two have many happy years together and that you get to celebrate knox lifting the Lombardi or even an mvp trophy after they finally win the whole thing. After watching yesterdays SB , I am convinced the Bills are in a place to finally win one because there was nothing special those teams did that the Bills can’t do.

The guy is intense and I can see how he could be a good coordinator. However, he committed career suicide regarding the NFL ( you’re not in good company when Hugh Jackson is trying to jump in a class action suit with you. That guy is the best example of a clueless idiot I can think of ) and getting another HC shot. The level of naïveté to think you could benefit going to court just based on your opinion against bottomless tanks of money available to those named franchises is a sign of terrible judgement and shows he has no idea how the real world functions and always will continue doing so as far as the monolithic NFL. He sees everything in absolutes , right or wrongs , and real life doesn’t work like that; certainly the judicial system doesn’t because money is power in that realm. Going to be a rough , expensive life lesson and it’s a little insight how he is not equipped to handle all the nuances of being the lead man of a large company like an NFL club. He could not see the big picture regarding his suit , and that was his downfall an HC as well.

Great point. I do think tho the refs suddenly changed on that last drive and they threw flags on almost every Kupp play making actually taking him away almost impossible. We never quite seem to get favorable calls like those that saved that Rams drive from the 10 yard line in. Watching Eli Apple get burned was not a surprise but it brought flashbacks of Milano turning and chasing Kelce on that walk off td. I don’t get knowing they were going to Kupp almost exclusively and yet not having someone facing forward playing for a fade while Apple trailed. Again tho, might not have mattered cuz as soon as Kupp was touched the flags suddenly flew. Had been a relatively good called game until those last three min.
