I thought it was just me, everything I have is to large to post.

Can I still yell at the television when the Bills allow a team to pick up 3rd and 12? I won’t invoke any one specifically.

Nothing, I’m venting, this thread was open and I’d just listened to someone fawning over the Patriots.

I’m sick of the Patriots, they are not the Patriots of the Brady, Belichick era. I’m sick of hearing how they are coming after the Bills. I’m sick of hearing about Vrabel, as a coach he is barely over 500. I was sick of hearing how Jones was the next Brady, I’m sick of hearing that Maye is the next Josh Allen. I don’t just want the Bills to beat them! I want them to BEAT them!

Hailee is probably coaching him up on the Stanislavski method. If only someone could coach the DL Stanislavski’s “method of physical action”.

No they weren’t, they were talking about DeJean changing his position from quarterback, no one ever mentioned Seahorn. I used Burrow as an example, who cares what he wears and why would anyone “hate on” him?

I’m sorry, you brought up Shane Falco, a fictional character, no offense to Keanu Reeves, but he is probably a better quarterback than actor. You also brought up Ryan Leaf changing positions, which he did. He changed from quarterback to criminal. Tebow may have actually had an NFL career had he changed positions. I brought up Briscoe to see who would take the bait, the same things were said about Briscoe in the 1968, as were said in 2018, and are still being said in 2025, about Jackson. In a previous post you clearly stated that you “hated” Lamar Jackson, why is that? Is it because of off field behavior? Is there something you know that no one else knows? Do you know Jackson personally? In this thread you presented the argument that whenever a Black person is challenged or has a disagreement, they claim racism. Is it your position that racism doesn’t exist? As to Sanders’s mother’s comments. She was replying to Rex Ryan’s comments. Do you have specific knowledge as to Rex’s motives? I have no idea if Rex Ryan was racially motivated or not. As to what Sanders’s mother believes, or has knowledge of regarding Ryan, is speculation. I believe Ryan is a blow hard, that stole Terry Pegula’s money, but that’s my opinion. As to your finding me “hilarious”, I could honestly care less. Racism is real, it is as real today as it was 50 years ago. It is a cancer, that leads to events like the shooting at Tops Market. As a society we can accept that and work towards change, or we can pretend it doesn’t exist, which will keep us in an endless cycle of hatred.

Dejean was never going to be a quarterback in the NFL, a position change was his only path. “Concerns” how about attacking his mother for not hiring an agent? As recently as last week on this site one poster called Lamar stupid, another expressed his hatred for Jackson. Have you ever asked yourself why the reaction to Jackson is so virulent? He seems to be a model citizen, no sexual assaults, no domestic violence, no nothing. So what is it about him that engenders such hatred, make no mistake, it is hatred. Since you and others seem determined to make the what about the white guy argument. Why no hatred Joe Burrow? He’s a grown man that dresses up in costumes before games. I’m just using Joe as an example. I don’t know him, any more than any of the people that have vilified Jackson know him.

Leaf, Falco and Tebow were bad quarterbacks and should have changed positions. Briscoe, after his one season as a quarterback, should have been given a chance and are you really comparing Leaf, Falco and Tebow to Jackson?

“Sir this is Wendy’s, and it’s 2025.”

He can’t play quarterback in this league, doesn’t have the aptitude, he needs to change positions, become a wide receiver. Who am I talking about? Marlon Briscoe or Lamar Jackson?

And yet things never change.

You forgot the hype leading up to the draft. All that aside, why is Rex getting so much slack? He is one of the biggest blowhards ever. Speaking of overrated.

“Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it”. If you don’t think that those events are relevant today, go back and read any thread on this site pertaining to Lamar Jackson.

Not you or me, go back and read the original post I responded to.

No I’m not, I’m saying that the using the Ebonics pronunciation of racist to deny racism is at the very least ironic. To deny that racism exists is like denying any issue, for example denying a health issue, it isn’t going away. To claim racism is always the definitive argument from any black person is a generalization. History demonstrates that racism is often a valid argument when it comes to discrimination. That discrimination can then manifest itself in many different ways. Since this is Bills football site, I’d like to relate a couple of things. When I was in high school some friends and I went to a Bills game at the Rockpile., after the game we were walking to Delaware Avenue to catch a bus. A few black children were playing on the sidewalk, a car with two white couples leaving the game purposely drove a high speed into a slushy puddle and soaked the kids. They wouldn’t have done that had the children been white. Cookie Gilchrist boycotted the AFL All Star game in New Orleans in 1965 because of segregation. He was inexplicably traded that same year to Denver. why do you think that was? The Bills Drafted James Harris in 1969, he became just the second black QB to start a game in the NFL, the first being Marlon Briscoe. Briscoe was by far the best QB on Denver’s roster in 1968. When told he would no longer be the QB he forced a trade to Buffalo where he agreed to play WR. Do you think Briscoe may have had a point that he had been discriminated against?

Neither is Buscaglia, if you read the whole article, the interesting part is when the Bills go heavy they use Hawes and not a lineman. It gives the Bills options and can be a problem for opposing defenses.

Good article about Hawes I. Tha Athletic. ”This isn’t to say that Hawes will make Knox and Kincaid obsolete on offense in 2025, or maybe even 2026. The Bills will continue to use all three through a game because, to this point, it’s one of their most significant advantages over defenses in 2025. But it’s fair to wonder if Hawes, should this strong play continue, is the future of the tight end position in Buffalo past 2025. He is a potential high-percentage snap tight end within the next three years, given his effectiveness in both phases of the game and the advantage he potentially gives them. He’s already their best blocking tight end, and it isn’t close. He can go toe to toe with any positional player and win the rep, whether it’s a defensive end, linebacker or safety. He has shown he can be a plus in the passing game, converting all four targets for a reception, two of which went for over ten yards.”

Years ago, when the Bills had a lot of injuries, a Patriots fan said the same thing to me. He’s dead now.

On the 4th down hand off to Shakir, Van Demark got stepped on.

If we were to ever meet, I’m sure I’d buy a beer or two, since that isn’t likely I bought your book. I’m sure what you’ve written is what we would talk about. Looking forward to reading it.

Did you see what the Dolphins were wearing last night?

Did you really just use the Ebonic pronunciation of “racist” to deny the existence of racism?

Gardner right or wrong, doesn’t change the fact that the officiating in that game was horrible.

I’ve been to Bills games at that stadium a number of times. Even in November the visitor side can be hot. Last night that stadium was about 30% empty, if the Dolphins keep losing, and I think they will, seats will not be a problem. Look for seats in the shade. There will be a lot of Bills fans no matter where you sit. As much as I prefer Miami Beach to Ft. Lauderdale, for a Bills game I’d stay in Ft. Lauderdale near the beach. It will be all Bills fans.
