One of the funniest typos I’ve seen.

You are a sad little dude.

Nah, it was a dig. We can agree to disagree, and I don't scour the internet looking for reasons to be outraged. I think Rosenthal pretty clearly doesn't like Allen.

How is this relevant to whether or not Ass Chin deserves all the power he has accumulated? Most of those Bills teams were awful. Are you one of the "we have no right to criticize others if we suck" fans?

He stated his opinion. The "facts" are that he is a part-time player on an "ok" defense, yet he said the Bills didn't give him a chance to play (inferring he would have justified his draft selection). I will politely disagree with your assessment.

@Lurker and @DrDawkinstein you guys clearly didn't understand the context of my post (or follow up). It would be nice if folks could actually read. I didn't "hate" on Ragland and I didn't say he trashed the Bills -- I simply find it interesting how pro athletes' perception of what happened often doesn't match reality.

You sound a bit sensitive. Reggie Ragland, on a good day, plays roughly 1/3 of the snaps for a mediocre defense. He's not what he was purported to be yet talked about how Buffalo didn't "give him a chance" to play. He didn't bash the organization but his perspective on who he is doesn't seem to match reality. That's the amusing part to me.

Holy overreaction, Batman!

Until they're not. I think that's the whole point. What other breed presents as many challenges?

Terrible column. Rosenthal takes two not-so-veiled shots at Allen while supposedly writing about how the Bills can win a Super Bowl. Calls him a "poor man's Cam Newton" and makes some other comment that gives insight into his opinion that Allen isn't any good. I wish I hadn't clicked because I feel dumber for having done so.

Countdown until Vic Carucci joins The Athletic...10, 9, 8....

Who's sensitive? I find it interesting to hear what players say when they leave an organization. It gives insight into the athlete's mind. Very often it doesn't truly match reality. I think this is a little bit of over-moderation, to be frank. It's Super Bowl week, Ragland is on the Chiefs, and it's not as if people are confused as to what the topic is. But whatever.

...on his time in Buffalo and the circumstances of his trade to KC in this article. Anyone else find it amusing that he bemoans not being given a chance to show he can play in Buffalo and now he is a backup for for Chefs?

I'd say the fact that he has a top 10 QB, top 5 WR, and top 5 DE but can't get past the divisional round of the playoffs speaks to Ass Chin's fitness as Mr. Everything. Compare, for example, what McDermott has done in three years with far less talent.

O’Brien and Marrone must get together in the off-season in some secret locale and just giggle like schoolgirls at how they have fleeced these teams.

I don't think he did. He just said it was about money and a bit of a surprise. Neither remark is particularly enlightening, and is pretty much what I'd expect an aging superstar who was cut to say.

You're a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, aren't you...I can tell.

Yes, I understand the difference between 2018 and 2019 but the Bills' reassurances in 2018 led him to believe he would be a part of the 2019 squad, thus the cut was a surprise.

Let's go get two of 'em. I don't really care which ones.

Wouldn't expect him to do anything different. He has an interesting spin on his departure from Buffalo, though...said he was "better than the guys they had there" and the cut was a surprise because there were trade offers that the Bills "shot down." Probably just a bit of an ego hit for the guy. No harm no foul. Singletary was much better than Shady would have been in our backfield last year.

Yeah I wasn’t getting that one at all but I suppose your explanation makes sense.

I don’t know, a good pair of form-fitting leggings can send the message that you’re ready to hit the ground running.

If you haven’t been banned at least once on this forum you’re not doing it right.

I had it on for schitts and grins, saw one play in which Tre had absolutely perfect coverage on Michael Thomas but Thomas out-muscled him for the ball. Great coverage, great pass, great play by the receiver. Tre came down with a look of "how did that happen?" Thomas is unreal.
