https://www.buffalobills.com/news/listen-learn-love-how-kim-pegula-and-the-bills-are-placing-importance-on-continu "I've always felt that I was a big supporter of social justice, racial equality, diversity and inclusion," said (KIM) Pegula. "The murder of George Floyd and the attention that it's brought to the Black community and the outcry that we've heard from around the country, made me really look at myself and stop to say, 'What have I really done?' 'How do I really feel?' 'What are some of the things I can learn?' And that is why we brought it forward to our staff in our 'Listen, Learn, Love' panel. We really want to make sure that people stop and learn and listen about the issues, the experiences and what people have to say. "We also heard from some of our players, from some of our coaches and staff that said, 'Listen, we just want to have this conversation. We just want to share; we just want people to hear what we've been through or what we've seen.' I think it was really important for us to take that approach to listen first. If we don't listen, we're not going to learn and if we're not learning, we're not empathizing. It's hard for us to push agendas forward when we haven't even stopped to listen to what the message is." To enable a productive and meaningful conversation, employees were recently given a chance to hear directly from organizational and area leaders on ways to foster a community focused on equality and love through a virtual discussion. Moderated by former Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, the "Listen, Learn, Love" panel featured defensive coordinator/assistant head coach Leslie Frazier, defensive end Jerry Hughes, director of player engagement & alumni Marlon Kerner and local pastor and advocate Ken Simmons. The group answered staff questions and shared personal stories, offering different perspectives.

You're not wrong, but that seems more feature of the NFL corner today. Lot of business decisions being made out there

Loved what I saw from Benford last night. Chance he's special. Two busted gap plays

https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2023/6/7/23751500/buffalo-bills-co-owner-terry-pegula-chokes-back-tears-remembering-jefferson-tops-shooting-victims During his speech, in which he said that he wanted to fill the new stadium with more memories and continue a legacy, Pegula took several minutes to pay homage to the victims of a racially motivated mass shooting on May 14, 2022 that took the lives of ten people at the Jefferson Avenue Tops Friendly Supermarket on Buffalo’s east side. “But we also remember other heroes in Buffalo who deserve to be mentioned,” Pegula choked out between tears. The owner of the Buffalo Bills then took time to read the names of each of the ten victims who lost their lives — those who never returned home to loved ones — among the 13 who were direct targets of gun violence last May. Celestine Chaney, 65 Roberta Drury, 32 Andre Mackneil, 53 Katherine “Kat” Massey, 72 Margus Morrison, 52 Heyward Patterson, 67 Aaron Salter Jr., 55 Geraldine Talley, 62 Ruth Whitfield, 86 Pearl Young, 77 ---- This does not sound like a racist man Thanks, I was refusing to respond to those posts

Generally when someone goes on legal record of saying something with a direct quote, it increases the odds of them saying it, or you risk perjury He's stayed quiet, which is fine with me. Racial Justice isn't a Billionaire's debate. His family life also suggests to me that this isn't straight forward, and there's a chance Trotter is straight up lying

Right, need to see what Terry says about this. Because there's no context that makes this acceptable, unless he's quoting someone else and making a point about how terrible that statement is. IT has to be a flat out denial. You can not be an owner of a team where 80% of the playing employees are African, and have those racist sentiments in your soul

This is kinda of nuts. He's a corner not a linebacker. He's gonna miss tackles against RBs. Just a fact. His coverage was really good. Took a wordlie catch from Garrett Wilson. In fact both and he and Christian Benford were good last night in coverage

Where is the data to suggest that things will change?

Yea and sometimes you just have acknowledge that a defense has your offensive personell outmatched. Outside of Allen and Diggs the jets certainly had that advantage. Thats the other thing I’m finding disagreement with - attacking Dorsey. He did exactly what you’re supposed to when the Defensive front is better than your offensive line and has a great secondary to go with it. If Allen stuck with the game plan, we’re waking up in a much better mood -

Bills had 13 points in the first half, on their way to 24+ which is fantastic against a defense this good -

https://twitter.com/ajaycybulski/status/1701410543079244116?s=46&t=b_6DEUCIOVykcHVZYqq8jg That’s how Josh started the game. I don’t know why he decided he was done taking the short stuff, maybe he just got bored grinding down the field. But if he stuck with it the Bills win by multiple scores. Abother data point; 26%. The amount of drop backs Allen was pressured on. That means 3 out of every 4 drop backs he had a clean pocket against the best front in football 5 sacks. At least 4 of those sacks Josh played himself into pressure 0 - the number of drops by WRs So those are 4 off the top of my head. -
He wasn’t

Bills loss was at least on the road
-
Where in NorCal you at? I’m in Sac What would have you have hid him do differently? The bills punted just twice I think? And Allen was responsible I think for 4 of the sacks he took
-
Was happy with Dorsey’s game calling honestly. Allen ficked this single handedly
-
It’s the national football league. Teams lose. If you told me Josh was gonna turn the ball over 4 times, I would have guessed the bills would lose by 3 scores no matter who the opposing QB was. Instead the rest of the team kept bailing out Josh. I mean they had a SINGLE 3 and out

They pretty much fixed every issue I had coming out of last season except getting faster at the back end of the D
-
He did though? He had the false start in OT, and I think gave up a pressure in the first half. Can’t recall much other than that - and against this is an ELITE DLine. what were you expecting?
