Yes we all know that slavery was a crock of BS that should have never happened & is still in the spot light today for many reasons a lot being because it's easier to make a excuse than it is to go out & get what you want by working for it . We can sit here all day and say it's a systemic thing but Colon Powell, Opra, Ben Carson, Denzel, Daymond John, George Foreman, Tyson, MJ, Magic & many MANY more have proven that the American dream can be had but it will take hard work any way you look at it and that is the only way !! But today it is much much easier to make a excuse or use the same one that has been used for 100's of years saying it is racism . Okay there may be those that experience that to some extent but i have friends that are older in their 60+ & say that youngsters of the black community today don't have a clue what true racism is like . They have said to me have they (young black Americans) ever had to enter a building from a different door, drink from a separate water fountain, use a different bath room, be served from the back door of a restaurant & then they had told me they had personally experienced that & much more but over came it and have everything that i do & basically worked like i did being a poor white farm boy to earn every thing i have. So although yes it does exist who are the ones keeping it alive, who are the ones that would rather use the system & the excuse to make life easier rather than work to get them selves out of their situation, then who is enabling those to use the excuse and stay in the rut by giving out entitlements that could cause them to other wise choose a different path rather than work for what they want . I know some got to selling drugs which i have seen on certain interviews on TV because the amounts of money they can make for the amount of work they have to do is a hole lot less but the are praying on weak individuals so they are a huge part of the problem of keeping certain people in poorer neighbor hoods poor . And this is a lot to do with the violence . It's not just a "My ancestors were slaves so i'm owed this or need to have special treatment" It comes down to the person & their choices plus their motivation to do something about their circumstances . By you saying it's conservative democrats that become republicans & Blacks still experience poverty at a higher level because of the past or conservatives are uneducated about race history but those statements are all part of excuses used to bolster your argument and as they say . "Excuses are like A** holes every one has one & they usually stink" !!!!!!!

I would like to here those that said it has fallen short . Sure every one here would have liked to have a SB in the bag by now so we could all say he;s fallen short of our expectations but to go from 1 play off appearance in 17 years to 5 in 6 yrs i'd say not a bad showing .

You know in some respects i really wish they would & send every one of their asses to the house with out pay & like other companies stop paying out exorbitant retirement benefits to all those that did mostly nothing while they were in office but cause more debt . That and cut down on all these BS which hunts & committees for every freakin thing from what color to use in footy pebbles to what ever else they can dream up ... Just let the states run them selves stop the spending on the BS that they do that is & has been for a long time just freakin ridiculous & should but never will be stopped because they say that they can't default on the debt . Well don't default on it here's a few things they can do to help . STOP SPENDING MORE AND MORE MONEY EVERY TIME YOU TURN AROUND . Then bring some of the troops home from places around the world that they don't need to be & build some military bases on the border to secure it so that pay is staying here . Oh and when you leave a c country rather than leaving all of the American equipment behind of the terrorists sell it to other countries like Ukraine if that's what they want to do i would rather see them use it than the Taliban . But as long as the mind set stays where it is & where it has been for ever the US will NEVER see a balanced budget because they are over qualified in incompetence & have been and will not be held accountable in any way for that because the entitlement mentality of the country & political stupidity rules every day in the US .

I'm with you the Ralph will be missed ! The new stadium will have all the creature comforts of today but none of the mystic of the Ralph I've been there a few times & the sight lines are great from most any where in the stadium the new stadium will be like most of the other new ones more bowl like . Which should be good for getting fans closer because the sides on the drawings look to be much more straight up than spread out like the current stadium . I'm grateful that the Bills are getting a new house but the old one will definitely be missed by many but there are those here that won't just because the t is the way they are . But i'm sure when it is opened there will be many including the NFL & the opposing teams because they should have a better locker room that will be happier for it .

That is very true but with that being said knowing how passionate Kim is about the team & the community and if she can still make her wishes known i would think one at there top of her list would be for Terry to keep the team & win a SB for her the city & the Fans . Especially seeing as one of her things is the One Buffalo project . GO BILLS !!!

I experienced this exact thing YEARS ago . My ex wife at the time was working a full time job but it wasn't enough to make her bills & instead of taking in a second job because she wanted the time with our daughter she decided to go ask for "ASSISTANCE" to make her bills because even with my child support she couldn't make them . She was told that she made to much money to get the help she needed but then was told in the same sentence that if she quit her job or took a different job to where she made much less money that they would be able to help her with rent, food stamps, health care, electric bills & that right there is what is wrong with us today . Rather than keeping someone in a job which they will be paying taxes into the system & being a productive piece of society & given "Assistance" to those that are willing to work they would rather have those that are "Dependent" on the gov't & there are those here such as Billsy & Tibs that believe that this is the American way . Just plain asinine !!

You are such a idiot like anyone with any common sense (which excludes you) would allow a child to work in a cole mine you know why because the likes of your DA has had them all shut down & put those people out of work instead of finding the technology to clean up the exhaust from the burning of it . Don't get me wrong there are those ass holes out there that would try to do this but i would hope that parents & others would not allow this to happen . Although in some cases as it use to be some young people did it because of their situation & they had to do menial labor to help the family survive in certain instances but now the gov't just gives them everything they need & teaches them there is no need to actually work for a living or be responsible by paying for the things you say you will like college tuitions . Besides you don't have to worry about children working in these factories anyway because the libs are teaching them that in order to be a American it is better to receive entitlements by getting your college, health care, & what ever else they can think of paid for by the gov't . If you add that up with the lax laws that this administration has for the southern border & the some 4+ million per year since taking office of illegal crossings from Mexico your guy has got this covered & you can turn this into a positive as only you can by saying this is the exact reason why Joe is so lenient on border security to keep our children safe from having to do child labor . See there i'm helping you out Billsy now run with it ...

That is a great thing to compete intellectually but America use to be able compete in manufacturing too & we are now almost totally dependent on China among others for the goods we consume not to mention skilled trades are all but gone in the US . So if the young people of today are hitting the books all of the time that leaves very little time to learn other life type skills & from anything i have experienced there are many book smart people that with little hands on experience don't do well in the real world . Then there are the "Very Intelligent" such as politicians that have what seems to be no common sense at all IMHO !! I would love to see what use to be on many products that we consume here in the US a sign that says MADE IN AMERICA which i look for every time i buy goods & you just don't see it & with out something other than book skills that will never come back to the US . And todays work ethic is in the toilet when it comes to most young Americans .

OMG you must have been just traumatized as a young person did you have to seek concealing for this type of child abuse as a young person & i would imagine that it has changed your entire adult life to be filled with terrible visions of those that took advantage of you as a young person to advance them selves by using you for child labor . I'm so sorry but don't worry Billsy will come to your rescue 🙄 All kidding aside some of my fondest memories growing up was my summer jobs being able to make money independently of my parents & buying what i wanted to but there are those that have only been spoiled rotten little ***** heads growing up that will only ever understand what entitlements are . No not if it is forced not at all but i use to work of my own free will as a young person fro the same amount because i wanted things & realized that the only way i was going to get them was to work for it . Those that think anything in life today especially is free are terribly mislead because there is nothing in life that is free there will always be a price of some kind . Besides where did it say anything about this being about China ?? Bait & switch is what it sounds like to me ... Speaking of which i have to go to work have a nice day !!

I use to go to work on farms when i was a kid to make money picking fruit, bailing hay, pitching horse *****, or what ever because i wanted to make money & my parents instilled a strong work ethic in me . But all these snow flakes & their sensitive lazy ass ways that feel they should be entitled rather than teach their kids to go out & work for what they want see this as some kind of child abuse then we wonder why this country has out sourced so much manufacturing jobs to China . I don't agree with young people being aloud to serve alcohol or do any kind of labor that can hurt them physically but learning that you need to work to get what you want in life doesn't bother me in the least matter of fact it does much more good than harm unless of course you feel that you are a American dammit & i am entitled to all the free bees the gov't can give me . Then the country will continue to speed up circling the drain as to go straight down the tubes to the shitter as it has been for quite a while now & there are those that won't even recognize it as such . Oh and might i say those 2 that wouldn't answer the questions are as big of a POS as those that lie about their intentions in gov't .

Every time a relevant veteran player misses OTA's because they stay in shape all off season & it is voluntary then for other reason fans like us seem to speculate that there is something a miss . I'm sure that when Diggs shows up he will be in shape ready to go & will be the guy we've seen playing his guts out every play . And if not in some situations given the ball pissed off because he feels he is the best chance for them to make the play that breaks the game open .

The NFL has become a product which i feel in the long run like Nascar it will hurt the NFL . Everything with the NFL you have to buy & i could see that in the future the only way anyone that wants to watch it is either go to the games or buy some kind of plan to watch it . Lately i have went to NFL.com & in more cases than ever before the only way you can even read about certain articles is if you buy a yearly subscription to read those posted on the site when you use to be able to just go read them . Eventually they will push away the casual fan from watching the game all in the name of the mighty dollar like they don't make enough as it is already . It wouldn't even surprise me if each individual team were made to because being under the shield of the NFL that any thing all encompassing will need to be paid for if you want any access to the NFL & your team . I will always route for the Bills & buy merch & go to games when i can but if it comes to that i will need to find something else to do with my free time during football season .

You should set up a meeting with Roger i bet that would sell a bunch of tickets say a flag football over 40 league you could be a millionaire & not even know it ...

Well it's happening again Remember when Mayorcas & those that put him in place that support him said there was no border control problem even though the last year that the previous administration was in office in 2020 there were only 458,000 crossings . Then the following year in 2021 the new administration had 2.3 million and Mayorcas says it is because of the great amount of new employment & the lack of that in Mexico & other countries south of our border was the primary reason for the increase in crossings not the change in policy . Which he says here . But i heard on the news today that Mayorcas is asking for enough funding in the new budget for a additional 1400 border agents for the SW border & another 350 on top of those to help out the agents that are there & stretched thin because of so many crossing the border still . But none of the proponents here will reply as they didn't when i first posted the original post because they have no relevant argument to the ignorants of how the liberals are changing their tune weather it be in San Fransisco where they are now asking for more funds to add police when they were all about defunding the police before . Or if they are now asking for more funding to fix a border crisis that never was but we are the crazy ones & those that believe in this crap will continue to eat what ever BS sorry explanation that Mayorcas & others feed them when the truth is they don't have the balls to admit they were wrong . Keep listening to them even though they are changing the wording of their narrative to make it look as if they have been saying the same thing all along but i've been told my entire life you can't Bull ***** a bull shitter Mr. Mayorcas & we see right through the BS you are trying to peddle . Just grow a set of balls & admit you & your boss were WRONG and now your trying to fix it because your closer to a new election & want us to think that you care and you want us tot think that it looks like you fixed something that you in fact screwed up royally & blame it on the previous administration because that's the way you do things ...

AJ has been a excellent depth player for the Bills & good against the run i'm glad they brought him back not sure if he will be here after OTA's especially if they draft Sanders or Campbell but he will be a good mentor & if they don't draft either of them he knows the D good get . Beane is being Beane as far as the O line goes & we have the draft to go he may still bring in a top flight O linemen from the draft besides in comparison yes $258 Million or what ever it was that Josh got may be a lot better that some but that makes me feel even better that he is in a Bills uni . Florio is just trying to stir the pot . Seeing as Hurts got them to the SB that may justify the contract if Josh goes you can bet his next contract could be even larger but for now i'd say he's not hurting !

Well you still did't answer the question posed to you about landed males . Are you talking about those that are citizens or does landed mean any male, female black or white that is standing on the land that is the US that should be able to vote with out citizenship ?? As far as the inconvenience there wasn't any i have found in the past you are usually very quick at the come back especially if someone disagrees with you . I usually only spend time here in the morning but today is my day off so yes i am here more at this time .

Please do me a favor go back to the original post & re read the very first paragraph every thing after that point is hypothetical not me wishing for that or regretting the moves made by McD & Beane !! There have been many many posts such as this people doing a redraft scenario in fantasy - it was all meant in creating conversation which it has done it's just that some are taking it as me thinking the Bills made the wrong move which is not in any way what i was implying . As i said in the opening sentences in general terms Josh is a beast & i'm very glad to have him on this team & he is the epitome of what a Bills player should be ! I am not living my life looking backwards, I like the decision McD & Beane made & will stick with it and agree that we have 2 very good players possibly HOF players and am waiting for & will be cheering the day Josh & company kicks the Chiefs ass in the play offs to go to the SB . GO BILLS !!

Still waiting ...

I take it by your statement of "A country where non landed males" (& lumping women & blacks in that statement too) means those that are not citizens of this country correct or am i reading that statement wrong ?

Thanks for reminding us . But don't forget about all the tax payer money spent on those bogus committees chasing made up story lines all while bringing out other truths that get swept under the rug just to make a bogus point for the agenda . Yep entitlement has definitely became the way of the future & the younger generation has bought into it hook line and sinker they would rather put their hand out & be given things rather than have the feeling of accomplishment for working for it ! If i were to treat my debt by signing my name saying in faith i would repay that debt then renege on it like the gov't does with this forgiving of school debt instead of working to pay it off i could be part of that mind set too . Or by making it easier to be totally dependent on welfare instead of working while putting into the system and only giving those in need a smaller amount to make ends meet sends a great message that being lazy pays more than the accomplishment of working toward your goals . It's the new American Dream ...

Beans may be able to include one of them in a trade scenario to move up for a bit less draft capital if needed not exactly sure how all that works or another team that is in need of a younger edge rusher like Houston might be willing to trade say a pick next year for one of them if Beane doesn't see the improvement he wants in them . Then he may be able to bring in another FA & with 1 of them gone it could off set the cap space needed to do so but i ain't no GM so i'll leave it up to Beane to do his thing & trust what ever he does to get the Bills where they need to be .

I think if given the chance he might & i said MIGHT do as good as Ed because he for sure hasn't lived up to his draft status .

Even with all that surrounded him i always was hoping that a team would give him another shot & i loved it when he was with the Bills ! The NFL has this thing about possibly putting some out to pasture before their time or even if teams bring them in they don't use them as much but it looks as if TO could still contribute even today . I know in my last what if post i caught a lot of crap but i wouldn't mind to see him line up on a team today just to see if he still had some of what he had when he was playing & am glad to see that he is still in top shape for what some would call his advanced age .

I like others never liked the fact that Whaley moved up so far to grab Watkins but i think one big downfall of his was catering to much to the coach that was in place rather than tending to the team & the future direction of it which Beane seems to be more in tune with . Rex was another huge part of Whaley's demise with the Bills i think he had made some good choices in the draft's he was in & proved he was a wheeler dealer & could move around in the draft . I could be way off & some here will tell me so with their puke emogies but i think there have been a lot worse GM's than Whaley . Him with the guidance of others around him made him i feel look worse than what he was but that's just me i guess & McD was right to get rid of him & bring his guy in because these 2 are locked in given their vision of where this team is heading & what they want to do as far as players & such !! GO BILLS !!!

Dam ya'll are pretty harsh ! I started the post with I'm ecstatic that we have Josh but i guess y'all either forgot to read that part or something It was just one of those I WONDER type of posts & y'all act like the entire post was like i was slamming Josh saying he was a POS type of QB or something like he's no better than Peterman was . Some people got it one said that if Josh was with the staff that the chiefs have they'd be even better than they are now especially with Andy Reid leading the way then there are those that think i am cusifying Josh I think y'all are a bit sensitive or something dam ...
