  1. Here is my perspective and I think I am part of a silent minority (of white dudes)

    -Black lives do matter

    -Watching Floyd be killed by the police was horrible, and eye opening to the fact that there is injustice and rightful condemnation 

    -Protests came and I sympathized

    Then things got weird

    -Statues torn down??

    -Can't debate or disagree??

    -Looting??  Blocking highways and part of Seattle??

    -People fired for posts not completely in line with current thought??

    Would prefer a better compromise for people getting their thoughts in and having preaching jammed in my face.  I'll still watch football, but I'm not liking the one sided reports on social media and the news

  2. For Pete's sake relax.  

    1)  He got pulled over for dwi while at age 22.  Could have happened to almost anyone, except maybe some judgmental choir boys

    2)  It's Texas, not crappy New York.  Gun laws are easier, and it's common for regular people to have them on them.  Also, up to a few years ago open container beers were actually allowed while driving!  

    3)  He didn't hurt anyone, punch a woman, jump out of a hotel room screaming naked etc.  

    Just...relax

    But he's forgot more about football than most here have ever known so his opinion is still definitely respected

    This- you may not agree with his opinions, but no need to criticize the guy.

    Brandt has more information, contacts, perspective and history than most anyone

    Hopkins going to AZ and them NOT giving up their first to Houston basically takes a WR being taken in that slot completely out of the mix.  And they have been pretty consistently mocked to take Lamb.  

     

    Now, Indy trading their pick to SF also takes Indy out of the running for a WR, which they were also somewhat mocked to maybe take a WR.

     

    Its not out the question, SF could take a WR, but they also dont need to given depth at WR this draft and a nice young WR in place to go with an Elite TE.  Part of me wonders if this is part of a move to go up and get a QB.

     

    So one slot and possibly two draft slots ahead of us are no longer going to be spots for a WR.  Odds that at least one of Juedy, Lamb, Ruggs to last to 16 or later has now just gone up IMO and maybe even one will last to us at 22.  At the very least, I think it makes that one getting to Atlanta at 16 much more probable now and I think that Beane will be interested in going to get one at that point.

     

    EDIT:  As some have pointed out, 13 might be an intriguing place for us to move up to with SF as well to get Juedy/Lamb.  

    Interesting but I am firmly against trading up, particularly for a WR in a very deep draft

  5. What in the world is this thread about?  I have been coming to this board for many years to catch up on Bills news.  I live thousands of miles away and it consolidates articles, news and some opinions.  I like the updates on training camp and hearing from folks who went to the game.  This site has some whackos who create nonsense, but I ignore them.  If you are getting moderated or censored, look in the mirror.

  6. I'm thinking the Bills are done trading up.  Seems generally only a good idea to do so for a QB.  They have stated they want to build through the draft and we have very few home grown drafted players on the roster.   I have nightmares still about the Sammy Watkins deal- let's stand pat or move down

  7. I hope the league survives but my interest level is...meh...

    Tried to watch the local Arizona team on TV, but it becomes more of a go back channel thing than an interesting watch

    Team plays 15 minutes down the road, but I haven't even considered going and don't know anyone who has.  I wonder what their attendance figures are?

  8. I'll tell you what- it would be awful to have a job where you had to go on twitter and social media and actually interact with random sports fans.  The stuff people say to strangers online is unreal. And some of you actually take the time to email reporters??  For what purpose?

     

    What I got out of this article is that Rodak deliberately goads Bills fans because of their comments.  He should find a new job- just report the news as a beat writer, don't be the news
