Sure, but the rate of holding, roughing the punter, blocks in the back, muffed punts is all much much much higher than any negative things happening after an interception.
All I know is TBD’s definitely starting acting like TO’s don’t matter when they got a QB who turns it over a ton.
I am picturing you staring at Marilyn Monroe and Cindy Crawford and mumbling … “they have moles.”
There’s not one post on TBD that says TOs don’t matter. Not one. That’s the absurd straw man to balance the absurd, and weird, development of an “arm punt excuse” thread. What, exactly, is being excused and who’s doing the excusing?
I can see the Hollywood Blog now. Some benign moles, that every human has, turn cancerous. People “excusing” Marilyn and Cindy and focusing only on their other-worldly beauty are missing the point that wise observers like me understand - despite being obvious to everyone.
I understand the contrarian dopamine LAMP rush. I understand less the desire to nit -pick the greats. It exists, certainly. My DNA leads me to wonder and marvel.
I’d recommend, when the urge to manufacture or join a criticism is too great, spend a moment considering what’s been concocted. “Arm punt excuse” is manufactured Frankenstein with Abbie Normal’s brain.
I understand you didn’t build the monster. I was inspired by your “acting like TO’s don’t matter” advancement of the argument.

LOL, “the arm punt excuse” analysis and discussion. Why not just pin a “daily nit pick about the greatest player we’ve had in generations” where the small can take shots at the large?

All right now. This goes back a long time ago. I was 9 or 10 years old and the Bills were practicing in Blasdell I believe at the Camelot motel. They had an autograph session and handed out 8x10 black and white glossies that they autographed. There was Tom Sestak, Darryl Lamonica, Pete Gogolak and Dick Hudson. I remember how massive Tom Sestak seemed to me. Just a giant of a man. I still have those autographed photos! Go Bills!🏈
I rode my banana seat bike to exit 56 and watched, as well! More than once, OJ Simpson stayed late and played keep away with a group of us. Imagine ten boys trying to encircle and catch The Juice. Years later, I met him at the sports bar in the Hyatt on Main Street. He was there with an Oakland Raider equipment guy. They were in town for a Bills Raiders playoff game where OJ was a broadcaster. THe bar was empty, before “happy hour” started. OJ waived us over and I sat down and finished a beer. I told him the twenty year old story of chasing him around a field near the motel. He laughed, of course, and asked if we’d like to try again.
What a charismatic, engaging guy. Seeing him through a different lens is still unsettling.

I’ve been several times with my wife. Three years running, now. We’ll be there in September, as well.
It is worth going. For us, it’s two different trips.
When we stay in South Beach, it’s a beach resort with fine dining and upscale cocktails with my beloved Bills smack dab in the middle. We run into Bills fans here and there.
When we stay in Lauderdale, it’s a three or four day party with some die (very) hard Bills fans who fill lobbies and take over bars. We stay at a place off the Ocean that, while it has a resort feel and great pool, doesn’t give us the beach. The beach is close, of course.
South Beach: Higher end dining and cocktails everywhere. Art, music and architecture.
Lauderdale: “Hey, ay ay AY - Let’s GO BUFFALO!” with some still nice pools and drinks.

Okay fair enough. That said . . . Michael Jordan was drafted 3rd overall. While I know next to nothing about the NBA, I'm guessing he must have shown something at the college level, to have been taken with such an early pick.
If I think of guys who were better as professionals than they'd been in college, one of the first names which comes to mind is Kurt Warner. No one drafted him. He tried out for the Green Bay Packers, but didn't make the final roster cut. Then he got a job stocking shelves for a grocery store. After he'd worked that job a bit, the St. Louis Rams called, and the rest is history.
It wasn’t my best formulation.

Honestly I respect a lot of people on this board... Bills fans know football more than most fan bases
Its like sec level knowledge
And that's why I do like posting here... But I generally don't go out of my way to spam this board with scouting reports pre draft
I'm more than happy to make a full report for people if they ask... But I'm here for the same we all are... because we all love the Buffalo Bills
But yeah I see the quarterbacks come up from a young age... That's why I'm so high on Caleb Williams
Because I saw him in high School and Oklahoma live ... I was sold at 18-19
I work in the SEC footprint. Almost all of my colleagues are SEC grads. It’s unreal.

And in the off-season I basically mercenary scouting reports for draft eligible players but I was a regional scout years ago
So I have a lot of friends who are regional scouts and they need eyes on the road which I am... And I go to college spring games.. about 3-4 a year.. and a good handful of college games
I am not a scouting college kids full-time anymore I do high school kids but I make scouting reports for draft eligible players
I have put an asterisk next to your name to look for when I wade through 45,386 opinions on college talent.
Edit to add:
1) Outside of the top three, who was your best WR prospect, period.
2) Outside of the top three, who was your best WR prospect for Buffalo?

Let's wait until Coleman plays at least one NFL snap, before comparing him to Michael Jordan.
Not sure I was doing that. There of hundreds of goods to greats without college domination. That, I believe, was the post I replied to.

If he's such a "stone-cold killer on the football field," then why the lack of high-end production.
Talk is cheap this time of year. Let's hope it translates to the field. A lot of people have their doubts.

The article gives the OP zero reason to "speculate with confidence" that "Sure Miami fans are pissed at Poyer"
It gives me no reason to speculate with confidence that the sun will rise tomorrow. It doesn’t have to. The word speculation acknowledges, requires, demonstrates the topic is unaddressed in the article.
If we can’t speculate, eliminate 98.4% of our threads.

from the daze of my misspent youth...Sundays...1970s football...men like Otto layed the foundation for this game...
1 PM games: watching Joe Namath play in crappy Shea Stdium which looked like a high school field; bad Bills teams with OJ loose over and over....or you could watch the NFC games which in Buffalo featured the Wash Redskins and NYG games before Dallas became "Americas Team"
4 PM: teams like like the Chiefs, Chargers with that passing game, the thug Raiders playing close games over and over with George Blanda kicking game-winning field goals while playing QB at age 40+...games called by grizzled vets like Curt Gowdy and Charlie Jones and the smooth Dick Enbeg (remember Sport Challenge ?) and color analysts no one ever heard of before...
Then on to the Wonderful World of Disney amd Mutual of Omaha's Wlld Kingdo...then Sunday nite Sabre home games with Gil and the French Connection...over and over...year after year...

but hey, LAMP.
The OP doesn’t need my help, but nowhere in his post does he claim the article “even hints at that.”
“Speculating with confidence” is a reasonable reading of “Sure.”
Respectfully, all.

I have stumbled upon the most ridiculous commentary delivered with the most stout conviction. I’m not talking about Mr. Butker.
For all of you “I know what’s best for you to believe” types, please send me private messages. There are times when I see different people having different beliefs and taking different paths than I do. Unlike you, I’m inclined to find them interesting and respect their views. I need a boost of your “I know the way God or Darwin intended us to live and it applies to 8 billion human beings” confidence.

I don’t know if the NFL did or didn’t. Regardless, what do you find unbelievable and disturbing?

Buffalo @ Miami ... Sunday 1:00 PM.
Prime time
Buf @ Det

Buf @ Hou
Buf vs KC
Buf vs SF
Will the Bills have to give away another home game vs Jax in London again ?
Oh, man … NO Miami in September, please. There should be a permanent agreement that game one is north and game two is south.
3 hours ago, Monty98 said:Still losing your best defensive player on a weird rest week with the worst travel schedule possible because the league used your game as an experiment based on the advantages of travel to London on a short week, will derail part of your season anyways
I agree with everything, except for the “because” part.

Birthday parties can be cancelled. They haven’t happened, yet. Debt can’t be cancelled. You can only change who repays. More honest than “I’m canceling debt” is “I’m shifting the loan payments to working families who pay taxes.”
If it’s a good idea, why not cancel credit card debt, auto debt and mortgage debt? The answer, of course, is that pandering at that scale would reveal the transparently absurd that goes unrecognized at a smaller scale.
