    I wouldn't say no but would signing him make the Bills look desperate? And think of the fan reaction of the Bills signing a RB before addressing the defensive line (not that you can do too much right now anyways) Stay the course boys, we still have 11 games to go and plenty more chances to improve our playoff odds.

     

    Bell is a FA and a decent back.

     

    Name a decent FA Lineman.

  2. Honestly I approve. It won’t inconvenience them too much and I’d rather the players take precautions so they can keep playing.

     

    side note: hapless, sorry to hear about what you’re going through...stay safe! Also stay sane! Reading through this thread has been like trying to read the Bible and the Koran at the same time....with the random Cthulhu worshippers who don’t understand why masks are required and just want the world to burn under an octopus faced tentacle monster

    LOL, it would be really really sad if in fact, a few fans "need" football players.

     

    No sorry, the players earn a living with football, the reality is if anyone 'NEEDS' anyone, it is the players that need the fans.

     

     

     

    lol the percentage of "fans" who get riled up by these things isn't that high. I'd actually wager that the more fanatical "fans" on this site fall into that category. Therefore, the "need" to watch football. 

     

    Additionally the players earn their money from the owners/league. The league earns the vast percentage of their revenue from TV deals. While I agree that tickets/merchandise is the other percentage; again....people will still watch and buy merch. Those "Fans" will not stop that from happening.

    This will be the end of the NFL. Sad. Politics and Football don’t mix. Ego will ruined the league. 

     

    lol, didnt you, or others with this same mindset, say the same thing about kneeling, allowing shoes to be designed by players, letting players voice their social justice concerns, and any other multitude of things that mean players have a brain and can think for themselves?

     

    The league will be fine, but by all means boycott the league.... you need them far more then they need you.

    He’s not dead and when people say shockingly stupid stuff like this you’re basically saying cops shouldn’t use lethal force ever. 


    sure they should, when necessary. Was it necessary for one cop to shoot him 7 or 9 (can’t remember) times in the back? I doubt it.

    I am not on Facebook. Thank you for proving my point by trying to attack me. The employees of the NFL have a choice if they don’t think it’s safe, quit . Find someplace else to work

     

    Your point isn't proven because he called you out, in fact if anything it was an affront on your disregard of information because you don't like the source. Like someone else said go watch something "reputable" like Tucker Carlson....

     

    America gets dumber by the day.

     

    Edit: Oh and before you say something along the lines of "Well you just called out Fox News so you disregard them too...." I'm able to discern ignorance from biased reporting. Fox News is both.

    It should be "a witch hunt".   Wearing a mask and social distancing whenever possible have proven throughout the world as well as in some states in the US like New York to be effective in stopping the spread of Covid 19.   Not wearing a mask and/or gathering in large groups is selfish because it endangers others, especially from asymptomatic spreaders.  It is everybody's responsibility to our fellow Americans because the coronavirus doesn't discriminate; anybody -- and there everybody -- can be infected by it.   You can't spin selfish behavior as anything but what it is.. 

     

    Agreed. Some of you may be all for playing the law of averages with your life and those around you, but I'm not.

    People have been dying from viruses for thousands of years.  Even though we now know more about viruses and how they make people sick, some people will continue to die from them.  People who die from viruses have not been killed by others’ stupidity, but from their own misfortune.  It sucks, but stopping life as we know it won’t change any of that.  

     

    There is a massive difference....people who have been "dying for thousands of years" were either A: part of a previous pandemic that was not addressed due to ignorance (see the bubonic plague) or B: the viruses are taking lives at a much lower infective rate then we're seeing today.

     

    But people who have parties to see who can contract the virus first, and then die from it as an unintended result, are a problem. So are people who think that; "Oh well it's a virus, nothing I can do but hope I don't get it....now open my bars!"  Because again, even though you may not suffer from it, someone you know could unintentionally..... I have a newborn and a mother with a hit list of the virus's greatest targets......and it's people like you who only see the tree, and not the forest, who both terrify and piss me off.

    LOL.  What on earth do you think that proves?  

     

    That your me-first worldview on this disease is misguided? Everything you've said statistically is wrong:

     

    1 in 5 people require hospitalization. Older and preexisting are included. This does not impact the data as healthy, asymptomatic carriers have a greater chance to spread.

     

    Focusing on only the younger people, (18 and under, or athletes included) is an extremely short and near-sighted view and basically says that those outside this metric can just eff off and deal with it....

     

    Focusing on a small % of deaths out of the total is extremely narrowminded, as pointed out above the percentage of people who are *permanently* damaged physically from this disease is way too high to be ignored.

     

    I've seen far too many people who are anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, people having CoVid parties; who then go on to infect their immediate family/friends and the result is in more then a few cases serious injuries or death. People think about themselves far too much. It's not just you in this situation.....it's everyone. That's why this country as a whole is doing so much worse then basically the rest of the planet.

     

    Edit: Oh and one more thing you sure as heck would sing a completely different tone if you were impacted by it. It's easy to be "that guy" who wants to put on rainbow sunglasses and ignore everything about the reality of this disease..... but I assure you, you'd think much differently if it hit your family or friends. Oh and before you say, "well it hasn't hit us at all...." it's people with that mindset that cause everyone to suffer when they all of a sudden find themselves in a situation they scoffed at.

    Or they just know what they are getting with him already and are looking to hide their interest hoping he falls to us. 

     

    I'm not worried about the injuries too much as we have one of the top if not best medical and weight room combos in the league which should help lessen those injury issues. 

     

    As for being a locker room guy. I'm not sure that should matter. We already have leaders set up in the room on o and d. I think we'd be fine. 

     

    It's not really about leaders being present or being able to handle tough locker room guys, its about drafting guys who do not have that problem so they will in turn keep the other guys honest on their own. If you can draft  a guy without the mental warts, you do it. Especially for the city we're in. As for the discussion on Mental Warts Vs Physical Talent....at the end of the day you have to decide whether or not 1 makes up for the other... especially with the Divas in this league lately.

    Just quit doing it. Thanks. There is some great discussion in the Black Monday thread.

     

    I'm going to purposefully keep posting in this thread for multiple reasons:

     

    1. Yours is a general discussion, and while it may be "convenient" to include all news in that thread; it is not a requirement.

    2. This would be considered bigger news then a "General Discussion."

    3. Your uppity attitude makes me want to annoy you further.

    4. I'll keep doing it.

    5. Theres some great discussion in the "Cowboys entire staff fired" thread.

    6. Thanks

  12. *insert old man yells at cloud Gif*

     

    The day the bills throw for 300 is the day we got into a shootout. The gripe will then become we didn't throw it to the right people or the defense shoulda done more. This board is a psychology students wet dream.

     

    Come one! Come all! We've got all your personality disorders covered! Need a paper?

     

    Depression! - "We're 6-2 but we actually suck."

    Manic Depression "we're 6-2 but the Bills are gonna blow it and miss the playoffs"

    Panic Disorder - "We JUST. CAN'T. HIT. 300 YARDS!!! 

    Schizophrenia - "Josh Allen is a god! Wait no.... no... put in Matt Barkley JA sucks"

    Self-Deprecation "The bills are total losers, we did this to ourselves and it's our own fault for not trading our entire draft stock next year to get Aj Green"

    Narcissistic tendencies - "Sure John Brown is catching balls, but what about Cole Beasley!? He's been targetted like 3 times less. Unless he's involved our wins don't matter. I don't care what you people say!"

    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - "The Bills need to score 30+ points and allow fewer then 10 for me to be happy. But it has to be with Josh Allen throwing for 300+ yards, our Rbs being over 100 yards rushing and with each WR, TE, RB catching at least 5 targets OR THIS GAME IS WORTHLESS TO ME AND THEY NEED TO DO IT RIGHT OR I'M GOING TO BE TRIGGERED FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK!"

     

    I mean. Free inspiration? Amirite?

  13. Darnit you are right!  We should target Beasley more often! The dude just gets open on the short routes! .... Wait....whats that? Brown was open on an intermediate route that JA has been mostly money on..... Well eff that....target beasley. He's gotta be used properly!!!

     

    Oh! and another thing! Give the ball to Singletary, Brown, the TEs, and beasley more! I'm tired of all of them not getting the ball! It's like they think there's only one ball or something, haven't they ever heard of Multi-ball? It works wonders in Pinball...JA should try it! You know if he could complete that 1 pass he missed out of his last 6 or so! That one pass could have WON THE ENTIRE GAME!. 

     

    I'm so tired of these same old Bills who can't get the ball to everyone on the field at once. It's just so poorly executed and it's going to lead to us getting trounced in the playoffs! IF we even MAKE the playoffs....we're only 6-2...thats such a crappy record with such a difficult schedule left. AND we only beat crap teams which totally means that we have no chance whatsoever against good teams so why even try?! Whats the point?! Life is a dreary dark hole of emptiness and we should just forfeit the next 8 games and find something else for our players to do....maybe landscaping?

     

    Honestly you people just need to chill the hell out. SIX AND TWO. Does the team have deficiencies? Sure they do....all teams do.... Everyone basically though the Patriots Defense was the king among squads until the Ravens demolished them last night...the same Ravens who got demolished 40-25 by the BROWNS. The same BROWNS that are currently 2-6. So please go ahead and tell me that the Ravens suck because they lost to a poor team...

    So you do not think Republicans use sports for their anti-liberal and pro-conservative talking points?  

     

    They do. People just like to ignore that part on this site.

    I have to think he’s just trolling.....right? 

     

    No, he isn't. There's a certain class of human being who believe children need to be disciplined and "taught life lessons" through negative repercussions. However, they do not realize that this is not the only true way to parent a child; they were just treated neglectfully themselves and then try to forward the "lessons."

     

    Long story short: Someone wasn't hugged enough as a kid.

    Maybe be more respectful to adults if you don't want to be spat upon?

     

    Maybe act like an adult and consider a 13 year old kid; a kid. Oh, and maybe don't act like an uppity bastard who thinks kids need to be respectful and not respected. Of course, you're welcome to spit in my general direction. I too, think you are irrelevant....or rather just relevant enough to call out for being a prick.
