I agree you should never ever hit a woman. I have issues with minimum punishment most of the time. If things are black and white it makes sense, but that is not always the case.
It's not often we have a video as we do in the Ray Rice example. People make things up (on both sides) to get even. A fall or a push becomes a punch. I'm ok with guidelines for those cases where it's not cut and dry there should be some give, for the obvious over the top cases they should be able to make the punishment harsher. The Ray Rice example would be the latter.

I live in Florida but am working in Charlotte. I'm not 100% sure it was a Charlotte station I was listening to but the host was telling every caller they were dumb. He would then say it was not their fault because it was genetics from his/her dumb parents mating.
He would then get in an argument with each person hang up and question why they were all upset. It never dawned on him he just insulted people's entire family?
In the end it was worth it because I heard a commercial for Sahlen's hotdogs available at a local supermarket, stopped in and bought a few lbs to take home. Forgot about all of the local transplants here. What else can I get from WNY in the Charlotte area to take back to florida? Should have looked for Webbers mustard, damn.

I liked the guy. But if things go as planned he would not see the ball as much as he would want to or his salary would dictate. Having said that, I sure hope things go as planned.

Thanks May Day.
Figured it was something like that but no mention in the article. I know that there isn't even a link to season tickets on the Steelers site, the list must be quite long. After a while I think people just add their names as it doesn't cost anything. So who knows what the real number would be, same with GB.
Still for the Jags 45K is a large number.

I see it going much like the KC opening of a few years ago. Wish the whole season would go like that. Not sure why, but see a big win for the Bills.
I just see it as a good matchup for Buffalo. The running game dominates and it's downhill for Bears fans from there.

This shocked me, but I did not see a number. It's from July...

My wife used to watch. Now she's my ex. Got married in 95 the day we crushed the phins in the playoffs, divorced last year. She was the anchor holding this team back.
Now, it's on like a MoFo!!!!

Why else would we come here

Can Meyers take Kiko's spot sans skates and stick?
-
Can he even own BOTH the Bills AND the Sabres at the same time?
Only if he uses the same players for both teams.

This is simply an example of why a winning team is not focused on one player (be it Bradford or EJ) but instead is focused on actually building a team. I think the Bills braintrust is trying to do that (they may not make it but this is the correct approach in my mind).
The key to the Bills being good this season is NOT whether EJ is a great (or even a good QB.
He won't be. When EJ was picked it seemed pretty clear that he was not likely to be a rookie wonder. Even worse, he lost a lot of reps in his rookie year. I do not think anyone should plan on EJ being an adequate QB performer until sometime next year.
However, the Bills are correctly trying to build on their already top notch RBs (Jax and Spiller are proven productive , but the addition of Bryce Brown was essential given injury possibilities and FA issues. They also have assembled a massive OL with LT athleticism for most players. Further,,, they have a potentially great corps of 3 talents at WR.
Its not that the Bills need EJ to be good to win (this almost certainly will not happen for a year and change, what they need to make the rest of the ream perform so they can win with only merely adequate play from EJ.
But even if we assume EJ takes that massive step forward what happens if he gets hurt again? This team has NO depth at the QB position. They chose to ignore that one.
-
You know he's not in football shape from where? That's a serious question.
I don't want EJ off the team at all. I just don't understand why suddenly having him be a backup for a bit is a bad thing. Who has he had to compete with for a starting QB job since getting drafted? Nobody. Literally nobody. How is that a healthy situation?
Honestly I have no idea. But he retired and was not In anyone's camp. Dallas cut him in July because he did not show up for camp and prior OTR's. IIRC there were a couple of teams that went after him and he turned them down. Not like coming here would make him think he has a good chance at going deep into the playoffs. So I would expect he would turn down the Bills as well. I believe the Bears were at least one of the teams that spoke with him.
-
I like how most of the people that say EJ will never be a good QB and want him off of the team immediately...
(replaced by any vet currently available. Including Orton who retired and is nowhere in football shape by the way.)
... always have a disclaimer in their post to the effect of, "I'm still rooting for him"
I'm lost are we replacing him with a light pole or not?
-
Obviously Galisano wants the Bills to remain in Buffalo. Maybe he is just hanging around to ensure that happens. TPegs is the front runner and while it would be a shock it is possible he could let someone outbid him. Even though that is not expected.
It's possible that Galisano expects to let TPegs take it, but is informed enough to not allow a bidder that would move the team thus allowing him to step in at that point if needed.
Then again perhaps he is a big enough fan that he expects to outbid everyone. Hard to say because he has been very quite about his intentions and joining the party late seems a bit odd if he intended to outbid everyone.
-
It's just me I guess, but in lieu of facts, I understand people who believe everything that is reported. And I also understand people who believe nothing of what is reported. But it's the pick and choose to believe some but not others that I don't understand. Like I said, just me. I'm sure it makes sense to you.
Why do you believe that the team is even for sale then?
-
Will you ship for those that can only make it in spirit?
-
I wonder if those bids ( if accurate ) are lower simply because they were non binding? Why show your hand to the competition or drive up the price on your own
-
I think it was easy for JBJ to get led to believe things that were simply not true early in this process by the Toronto money men. Things like the Bills are moving anyway so the fans would love it if it were just to Toronto because it is so close. We will easily keep 25-30% of the current fan base.
However he should have seen quite quickly that this was not the case.
But I do wonder if the way they were treated in Buffalo "turns off" the potential of the deep pocket corporations in Toronto.

I certainly don't think it is a main reason for wanting a new stadium but expect that the League and Bills will is it to curtail some of the drinking that goes on in the parking lots.
It's a black eye to the league ( to some extent ) and a way to increase revenue by selling more food and alcohol in the stadium. Much easier to curtail the drinking in the parking lots in a new stadium than by taking things away where they already exist.

Is Lewis PS eligible? Or did he play too much last year. Keeping 2 QBs with Lewis on the PS may make more sense to hold another roster spot.
While I like the idea of picking up another QB, hasn't this staff had trouble in past years bringing QBs up to speed that were not here for the preseason? They would simply claim that they could not get him enough reps to learn the position. (Or was that the prior coaching staff?)
-
I don't blame Jim. Unfortunately this came about at the worst possible time for him.
While I do think some of the demands could be true, I would question some of the specifics. No one on this earth would put up that kind of money and then hand final say in all football decisions to someone with a 2% share. It is simply so far out there I can't even see how he could ask for it. Based on this I question some of the other things he supposedly asked for.
A small equity stake, sure. A job, why not? Complete control, I just don't see it?
-
So if the trust is doing all if this just to create competition they have that already with Trump and Galisano. Why are 't they leaking news on those two bids to help drive up the price?
-
I think if Marrone wins he is safe
I think WHEN Marrone wins and goes past the 1st round of the playoffs he will be safe.
(positive attitude!)

I think they should give teams options on where to spot the ball. But the closer you put it the farther back you move the kickoff. If you take it at the 2 u kickoff from your 20, 15 then you kick from the 35, 25 you can kick from the 45. 2 point conversions are from whatever spot you pick.
Maybe change the kickoff points from what I suggested as I haven't thought it all the way through. But I think you get the idea.
