Our coach and GM are too smart to hold opt out decisions against a draft prospect. It also is not at all a fair assumption or even fair to suspect, that the player who opted out somehow does not "love football" as much as one who played.

Got into a fist fight at a Jack Appleseeds in 1983 with a dolphins fan. Didn't help that I was flirting with his girl. And was beating him silly at backgammon. The fight had been brewing all night and finally exploded when he said he wanted to be an NFL referee and I pointed out that a referee has to have sound judgment and as a dolphins fan, he couldn't possibly qualify.

I am very upset by your hurtful comments, I think I deserve an apology.

Hmmm. I lived there about 15 years, walked by homeless people all the time, helped some here and there, and didn't find it too much of a problem. Sure a homeless problem doesn't exactly add that Disney Sheen to a city, but you know what really sucked- a bunch of overpaid digital janitors coming in and douching up a previously very vibrant and uniquely historical city. Classic architecture, bars, music venues, family restaurants, Gold Spike, Gold Dust, Slims. Caesar's gone through greed and boringness- wine bars and douchbaggery reign supreme. The city I totally loved is just frickin dead, and it had nothing to do with homelessness.

Add "writer" to his list of accomplishments, that was very well written.
Sad to see that the currency of lies that is at the heart of our modern culture has such a long history.

Many of you may have read the story in the Buffalo News by Sean Kirst relating the story of Bartolo Stancampiano, a 95 year old Bills fan. The article caught my eye because my great grandma, Giuseppa "Josephine" Stancampiano's youngest son was named Bartolo. A quick double check on ancestry.com and I was able to verify that yes, indeed, the Bart in the story is my grand uncle Barty. Josephine from the Sicilian town of S.Agata was left by her father in a Sicilian orphanage when he came to the US after his wife died. He later raised the money to come back for her and brought her to America. She married Bartolomeo Stancampiano and they went back to Sicily to see his family and by the time they came back to the US, she had had her first child, Anna Rose Stancampiano. Bartolomeo died at the age of 38 leaving Josephine with a large family to care for on her own.
Anna Rose died at the age of 40, long before I was born. She was married to Edward "Leo" Vilardo who was born Liborio Vilardo. In the Kirst article, Bart describes how his love for the Bills started. It was when my Grampa, Edward Vilardo took him to see Bison baseball games and the original Bills of the All American Football Conference.
I can't tell you how crazy it was for me to open a newspaper in 2021 and see the name of my Grampa, who died in 1971, and the name of the Gramma I never met. And for it all to be because of the Buffalo Bills family connection that I am sure we have all experienced is beyond description.

Forget counting the states for each team, imagine how lopsided it would be if we went by population with Texas, California and New York in the Bills column.

Good gawd I am so tired of non-experts and their certainty that they absolutely know better. Jeezus.

As difficult as their defense made it for us, we did put up 27 points and if not for one blown up crazy play we probably would have put up 30-34. I think we have to face the reality that we probably are not going to put up 50+ points every game.

Josh Allen didn't get us into the playoffs last year with two weeks to spare.
I think if you go back and check out the box scores, you will find there were 11 players on the field pretty much at all times. That was the Buffalo Bills who did that, and frankly the defense was a lot more responsible for their success last year than the offense. The defense was edging on elite last year while the offense was pretty average.
For the eight billion and first time, wins are not a QB stat. They are a team stat.
Yeah, totally fair comment, pretend I sad Josh was the only reason we made the playoffs and then attack what I didn't say. The obvious point was that Josh was a critical factor in our success last year and even more so this year. He did his part which is what "Josh got us to the playoffs last year" clearly means.

It annoyed me more when I heard that kind of lazy criticism here. I especially could be harsh when I heard the common complaint that "Allen has to be better" as if we would waive him if all he did was match his 2nd year performance and get us into the playoffs with two weeks to spare. Most commonly though, there were posts about how the poster really liked Josh and they were totally supporting him before going into a lengthy dissertation on the overwhelming proof that he was a terrible QB who would never improve.
Thankfully, all that is over, for now.

Will Johnson's injury scare them into pulling Josh?

11:51 2nd Q, pats run for 28 (Taylor), Milano took himself out of the play. Came back to make the tackle though. Don't see why we would let either player go.

Now I am thinking that if the camera man didn't own the team, he would have went down in a hail of snow balls as soon as he pulled out his phone.

Pittsburgh, I am burn'd up with inflaming wrath;
A rage whose heat hath this condition,
That nothing can allay, nothing but blood,
The blood, and dearest-valued blood, of Pittsburgh.
....ummmm or like, it would kinda be cool, if we beat them in a football game.

I have some inside information, don't ask how, that Josh is under serious consideration for the coveted spring cover of "Are We Really Talking About This?" magazine. 😜

Could yes. Could means possibility. An mini-asteroid COULD hit Fixborough stadium forcing P*ts to play one of their games in Buffalo.
Other than possibility it is just idle speculation.
Just another post inspired by Madden Franchise Mode.

He got hurt and was never the same, took a beating behind a terrible line.
