  1. The officials were way too involved in the game. If the Bills weren't the team playing I would have turned to a different game because the constant flags are unwatchable. There were a lot of tacky-tack calls against both teams. It's a football game. People will get touched. That said, the Bills let an easily winnable game slip through their fingers because of a lame offensive output. They lacked energy and execution. That's not on Dorsey. That's on players on the field.
  2. There were times he was in the receivers pocket too, and Jackson was the one getting cooked. He actually did a lot of good things last season. He was definitely uneven today. We'll see if next week brings more consistency. He has to play in order to find out. One game samples mean nothing, whether he played good, bad or meh. Re-visit what Elam is or isn't in a few weeks. Emotional posts after a loss like that isn't doing anyone any justice.
  3. We haven’t used that logo in several years. Bucknell might still be using it.
  4. Different monetary values from 2016 to 2023. Building in Minnesota isn’t building in New York. It’s a different design. It’s a beautiful building. Better is yet to be determined.
  5. Keep them available in the store. Folks will still buy them because some folks will buy anything different or new. But the team doesn’t have to wear them for sales to keep going. The red combo needs to be put away, especially if they are blocking better uni combinations. I actually dig their current unis but the throwbacks look better. Often less is more. Those unis pop.
  6. The Bills drafted him, he has starting experience and he’s a young player who can still improve. If he’s able to mentally continue getting past what happened I don’t see him getting beat out by by players who couldn’t beat him out before. He’s not physically unhealthy.
  7. Elam did some good things when he played last season. I think they have two good, young CB’s. Benford playing safety in college definitely shows up in how he attacks the run.
  8. We’ll see which one of us is right soon enough. 🤷🏾‍♂️
  9. Alabama was a while ago. He overcame that adversity, kept working and did well at Oklahoma. He’s better now than when he came into the league. I don’t dock players fr having talent around them. Allen has Diggs and he’s better after having Diggs than he was before Diggs. Mahomes and Burrow have as much talent playing with them. We’ll see if Hurts continues to improve and stay consistent but he passes the eye test.
  10. If relatively healthy, The Bills will be in the playoffs and making a run for the Lombardi. Their roster is no less talented than it’s been the past few seasons. They might not win the same number of regular season games but they will be good and it will be obvious.
  11. Fair enough. But does your profession come with the same physical risks? I agree he’s not likely to get what his talent level and impact deserves. Realistically, Barkley is already a rich young man so this comes down to principle. How far is he willing to go for principle? Me? I don’t show up until November. I’m not letting the Giants use me up and underpay me. I’d accrue my season in the final six weeks and then maneuver my way out of there. If II have to be underpaid it won’t be from that organization.
  12. His profession is full of it then. But that’s not a surprise coming from that league. BS is often their operating procedure.
  13. Jalen Hurts is the goods. He’s a dawg and impacts games with his arms, legs and leadership. I’m not surprised either. He has the attitude and work ethic of a winner, even in college when he worked his way through adversity.
  14. A bit less wear and tear on his body for an organization that doesn’t value him is worth holding out for. He should only come in for the last 6 games and get his accrued season. I wouldn’t even communicate with them until the week before I come in. I would make nothing easy for that organization going forward.
  15. His profession and your profession are not the same. Stop comparing yourself. He is getting a raw deal in his profession. If you have his skill level go try out if you can get one.
  16. I don’t mind pathos in a film. He created a vivid world, had an interesting visual style, etc.. I thought Gallo did a good job with the film. The Brown Bunny on the other hand...
  17. I hear you - it does seem like a tough schedule. However, the Bills have won 37 games the past 3 seasons, only second to the Chiefs. The current roster, on paper, is better than those teams. They have a top 5 QB in the league. If they finish below 11 wins they had long term injuries at the wrong positions or inexplicably lacked focus and urgency. Tough competition doesn’t mean better competition. The Bills are better than most of the teams they will play outside of KC, Cincinnati and Philly; and I believe they are even with the regular season version of KC. The Bengals, at this point, are better. A healthy Tre, Hyde, Miller and Jones could easily change that equation though. That Philly game will be a mosh pit, but the Bills talent is equal to Philly if the additions on both lines show up. I’m so glad they play the Jets week one on national TV. A point needs to be made. That last payoff game left a bad taste in everybody’s mouth, but don’t overreact. The Bills are a serious threat for the Lombardi schedule be damned.
  18. He was suspended for 4 weeks because of it.
  19. He and his family might have requested that no info is shared.
