That's too bad, I believe he would have been a good fit for this team.

T.T had a better year than Osweiler. If T.T can steadily improve from his season we will be a playoff team.

A lot of people seem to be pretty gloomy over the Bills 2016 prospects and Rex Ryan. I mean, I get the reasons why but I see an offense essentially returning all their offensive players entering into their 2nd year of much needed continuity. Not sure how anyone could at least not recognize the possibilities of our offense breaking into the top 10 this year. The defense lost some key depth and a couple good starters, but those starters really under performed not just at the levels that we expected them to play but arguably below starting caliber NFL levels. All of a sudden Rex Ryan has been relegated from a defensive "genius" to an also-ran. Seems a bit bipolar to me. We may have a bad year, but I'm not nearly as bearish on the team as many on the board.

He's going to put up really good numbers with N.E. I always thought he was a bit underrated, Happy for him, hopefully he doesn't do well against us.

If Shady and the trainers feel he's a go, then he's a go.

Remember the "Bickering Bills"? Even though it got ugly at times, it helped hold everyone accountable.

It appears to be a little bit of a Diva attitude, but he's right! If you want something out of life, you gotta be assertive and I like that he's pushing buttons in order to make things happen. I support it!

I choose not to believe based on what I've seen that EJ is not as good as Tyrod. Having said that I hope he proves me wrong Sunday.

Predictably, it's the unwavering EJ supporters who are Tyrods biggest critics. He didn't have his best game, that's for sure. However, when the game was on the line, he literally took this offense on his back and got us the win. He led this team to victory and was the MVP. I'm beginning to believe that we may have found our franchise QB

I can only think of a handful of times.

Just give me the W's and a playoff appearance win and I'm good.

Remember how everyone use to say the same thing about Lee Evans? I just hope this isn't version 2.0

Better to sign Bradham now, if we are lucky we can get him around the $5 M per year range, if we wait and he has a pro bowl year, he'll probably be closer to $7M

This is not going to make the board happy.

You totally missed the point. Weren't we just discussing the priorities of the tea party in that their main focus use to be matters of economics and how that has changed now to matters of immigration? No, that's you.

This is a Point of View from the libertarian wing with the debacle we see today from Reason Magazine. Good Mag. As Republicans go batschit on immigration, Democrats turn into sweet angels

Its backed up by data, Azalin. I posted it in a previous thread, when asked what the most important issues are to people who now identify as Tea Partiers, it's immigration. The priorities of the Tea Party of 2010 and the Tea party of 2015 are not the same, all you have to do is look at the Tea party affiliated websites and the meme's and messages they post and they mainly deal with immigration. Look at their priorities in 2010. Far cry from today. And if you look, even in 2010 tea partiers cared more about illegal immigration than standard Republicans. Which means that the first link that was provided skews the results even more so. Plus, the supporters that love Donald are Tea partiers more so than anything else. Here is another link that again, shows that between Democrats, independents, Republicans and Tea party, they are most willing to deport all illegal immigrants, which goes back to that first link. This post wasn't so much to be a knock on the Tea Party but more so a reflection of where people's priorities are that follow Donald Trump. Which is that there are now a sizable chunk of people who refer to themselves as Tea partiers that care more about immigration than anything else. That is undeniable. C'mon now Azalin, let's not pretend that immigration isn't what got Trump's supporters all up in a frenzy which is why they have this undying devotion for him. Look at Ozy, he's not an outlier , I mean his stance on exterminating illegal immigrants is but his belief that this country is being invaded by latino leeches is a pretty prevalent sentiment within Trump's supporters and let's be real, a good chunk of those that refer themselves as TODAY'S tea partiers are in that group as well. LA Bills can tell you, I never referred to myself as a tea partier, but before you got here I created a thread on how I supported their beliefs, who they were etc etc. They were a group that cared about the Debt, taxes and government over reach. I supported their principles back then. I no longer support today's tea party.

I argued this exact same point with 3rd the other day regarding Trump and the tea party.

No, you are wrong about Russia. The U.S. and specially Europe have rolled over and have looked extremely weak vs Russia. And if you think the Sanctions have been nearly as damaging to their economy as the plummeting price of energy then I don't know what to tell you. Like I said Bernie seems like a nice guy but he's suited for Denmark not the U.S.

You have to excuse him, he's a partisan liberal.

We are knee deep in it, we have interests all over the middle east and I'm not just talking about oil. We have strategic allies in place and the middle east is on the verge of having a nuclear race. Many of these countries are run by religious fanatics and the idea that if we just turn are backs, scale down on our military and for the most part just focus on Domestic issues which is what I wholeheartedly and with good reason believe in. I'm not advocating for the Cheney foreign policy approach but definitely more muscular than Obama's. He's telegraphed his intentions on a number of issues, and our enemies know that he will avoid confrontation at all cost. That sounds nice, but it's not fitting for a country like the U.S The credible threat of retaliation against countries that want to advance terror and regional dominance is critical. It's like playing poker with someone, if you know they aren't holding anything, then you will call them every time. Putin, Syria and ISIS all have been pushing themselves to the limit. Obama established a "red line", Syria knew he was bullshittin, and they crossed it. Now look at that **** hole. Putin knows that he is surrounded by a bunch of pacifistic pussies in Europe and he knows that we were naive enough to not assist Poland and Ukraine and he's continuously pushing everyone as far as he can. And we all know that Bernie is even a much bigger non interventionist than Obama, he'd get pushed around even more. Listen, I think he's an honest guy who has convictions. I like that. But he's not made to be president of this country for matters of both the economy and foreign policy.

Oh no. You said xenophobic. You must be a liberal. I've said this before, if by chance Trump were to win, not only would I not vote for Trump or merely vote for Hillary, but I'd round up my entire family and push for Hillary to everyone I know that has an interest in politics. Not out of spite, because I don't roll like that, but because I'd like to try to do as much as I could possibly do from my part to keeping the GOP a relevant party not some nationalistic far right party like we see out in Hungary.

If she was just anyone other than who she is, she would probably be facing some sort of charges.

If you notice, once Hillary was caught telling a lie regarding not handling classified information on her private server and then had to change it to that I didn't send or receive any classified information that was marked as such. It's a totally bogus switch of stories, that's not the standard. The standard is not whether or not you knew if it was marked as classified but if you mishandled classified information, period.

I don't believe that. Based on his voting history and I've looked through it up and down, because that's what kinda dude I am and based on his history, his rhetoric and general philosophy I see him as being an isolationist. Obama's naivete on the world stage and his willingness to appease to avoid conflict has shown himself to be weak and some bad characters have seized upon that. I kinda don't blame him in the sense that one of the mandates of his election was he was going to be the anti G.W Bush. Well, like anything, pendulums swing and he swung too much in the non interventionist side. Sure, we can say that he escalated the Afghanistan war and that he took out Khadafi in Libya. Or that he increased the drone activities and is now running air missions vs. ISIS. We are in a period of tremendous instability in the middle east and for that matter an antagonistic Russia who is pushing the boundaries to see how far they can go without being brushed back. Make no mistake, ISIS wouldn't be what it is today if Obama hadn't of pulled out of Iraq with the expiration of the status of forces agreement. And before you even attempt to pull out some link that says the agreement was going to expire and that it wasn't his fault bla bla bla bla. Don't. Because I can show you even more compelling proof that came directly from his own mouth and the Secretary of Defense under his administration that states otherwise. His desperation to strike any deal with Iran is showing that he is a horrible deal maker. I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that a better deal could have been struck if Iran actually believed that the U.S could have walked away from the table. His unwillingness to stand by the side of the Polish people by providing missile defense systems in the face of the Russians aggression or not wanting to help arm the Ukranians....Or when he dithered early on in Syria. The point is that Bernie would make Obama look like Cheney. I believe that if Bernie had his way, he'd make cuts in Defense like we'd never seen and I know it sounds cliche but I absolutely believe in it, that there is a such thing as peace through strength. If bad characters out there know they can push through certain areas without being stopped, they will do it. If they know there will be resistance, then the likelyhood of that happening is much less. I know you and others like Bernie, he's there for the little guy etc etc. But he isn't fit to be president of this country. His mindset is for Scandinavia, not here.
