     but there are witnesses she was telling people she was going to college....  so how is a person supposed to know... nobody asks for ID here.

    If he knew and committed the offense then yes he is guilty, but if he going by info she fed him then...

     

    if he unwittingly commited statutory rape based upon info known at the time , then I'm not going to hold that against Matt. If he knew then yes he deserves what he gets

    She wrote in her journal the day after the incident that she told him she went to high school.

    Rape is obviously a very serious charge.

    If guilty, Matt Araiza should spend the rest of his life behind bars. 

     

    With that said, I find it very disturbing how quickly some of you would cut a 22-year-old kid and end his career.

     

    It's not disrespectful to women to wait for the facts.  We should also reject the idea that it's somehow more righteous to automatically believe every claimed victim, and impulsively throw the accused to the wolves.  That's not justice either.

     

    Personally, I'm glad the Bills officials are willing to let the situation play-out before making a decision on Araiza.  Any player in that locker room could be falsely accused of something criminal.  If it happened to Josh Allen, I have a feeling the opinions amongst Bills Mafia would be a little more reserved.  There would likely be a little more patience in waiting for the truth.  Since we are just talking about the punter, fans think it's OK to just toss him under the bus.  The Bills often claim a "family-like" atmosphere amongst the team, and that kind of attitude could be just as damaging to player morale.  

     

    I'm confident that if Araiza's guilt becomes more clear and apparent, the Bills will make the right decision.

     

     

    Well she was 17. It’s already statutory rape…

    Let’s slow down.  This kid has been upstanding through out his career and comes from a very good family.  He is innocent until some civil or criminal conviction happens.  His attorney stated they have multiple witnesses she was saying she was 18 and was not showing signs of intoxication. This could have been a consensual act with someone posing to be 18 or nothing at all could have happened.  If she went to a hospital , a rape work up with dna / rape,kit / specimens should  have been obtained with records and she would have been treated with meds for exposure to stds and hiv prophylaxsis and plan b etc.   Hard to fathom how this just shows up coincidentally now with no prior red flags or smoke signals.  Hospitals would  surely have security videos to review as well as possible other video cameras in the area. 
     

    I find it unlikely  this could have been hidden from the Bills as they supposedly are very thorough in pre draft investigations.  Using common sense , hard to believe with someone of his stature and fame there were no Prior warnings and no trace of abnormal behaviors until now. Just watching his biography on you tube a couple of weeks ago , he just seems to have always been a very driven , family and goal oriented young man. 

     

     Could he have made an error or mistake as a young man , sure it’s possible, but he is innocent for now. He is not on the level of Watson with serial offenses as the worst case scenario.  His attorney seems very certain of his client so I am willing to hold off any judgement, esp since saying they have witnesses testimony saying she was aware and not intoxicated.   If some hard evidence like video or positive dna / etc shows up , the it’s a different story.  This is one solitary case , so it should be easy to eventually be proven one way or the other. Also with other co defendants , someone will talk for a deal if it did occur to save themselves.  Again , not a solo spree like Watson and three guys being involved should make it easier to find inconsistent facts or stories if this actusllly happened.
     

    For now, let’s let the process work out and he doesn’t deserve judgement at this point.  If Watson deserves a second chance , certainly a young man like this also deserves to accept responsibility and a chance for redemption if this is proven. The truth will eventually come out , so currently he deserves his presumption of innocence as you would demand if he was your own son or family.  If there was very solid , proven documentation , it s hard to believe nothing was filed until now. Remember how the Duke Guys lives were ruined and later vindicated when it looked so obvious they were guilty?  His attorney said she was not alone and It seems illogical she was there without friends.  So personally I am willing to let it play out as we let the civil process move forward.   Stop the hate speech about how “ we don’t tolerate this in Buffalo unlike Cleveland “. Many on here have supported MARSHAWN to this day and he has been proven to commit actions placing lives at risk in more than one situation!  This is an initial episode , and it’s still very cloudy and he deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point. People on here still talk about wanting to bring in the sociopath Antonio Brown , so let’s temper the pitch fork mentality for the time being. 

    There are many examples  of people using the legal system as their lottery as we were inundated daily with attorney advertisements encouraging suing for almost anything. Time to trust our good Gm Beane and staff to solve this within the appropriate legal channels and all we ever hear on here is how much people “ TRUST IN Beane” regarding the type of players he brings in and culture he has established.  I believe Beane / Mcd evaluate character heavily and I trust their process as it’s proven reliable so far.  This is the American system of justice and he deserves his side to be heard and then let the burden of proof fall as it may. Amber Heard is just one example of the me too movement being placed above actual reality and being misused , and so I chose to support him until proven otherwise, especially since he has been an upstanding young man with a supportive family his entire life.  If he somehow faltered , he is so young he deserves help and a shot at redemption if he accepts responsibility ( unlike Watson who still says he did no wrong and continues to lack personal insight , yet he will be playing I the NFL later this year ! )  Prayers  for both the young woman and for our punter that they both move on in life and I hope heal with time, and the legal system resolves this fairly resulting in both learning, surviving , and going on to lead productive lives.

    Man, the Colts keep trying the Elway theory and blowing it.   You can’t get guys that have never been greats and expect greatness when they are 40 years old. 
     

    If they give up any real assets for him, their GM should be fired.  I could see a flier on Mayfield, giving Mariota another shot, Minshew, whatever, but Matty’s Corpse is on Ice at this point.   Just a bad move.  Love to see it from a team that’s built to contend.

    He has been to the super bowl. If he has a solid run game and a good team around him, I think he can be effective.

    Better Win AFC East

    The AFC is alarmingly good right now. I’m definitely not optimistic on the #1 seed just being handed to us. 
     

    So it’s: bills, chiefs, raiders, broncos, chargers, browns, bengals, ravens, titans, Indy, pats(?), steelers(?) 

     

    it’s crazy.
