I’ve seen TMZ. The Bills celebrate Heterosexual Pride regularly.

Cook is spectacular from time to time, and effective regularly. He is also agonizingly undependable at the worst possible moments. Acknowledgment, I am not an X and O guy. That said, Cook isn’t high on my list of reasons to be optimistic. I hope he improves. I hope the drops and fumbles disappear. Until that happens, I’m not excited by his number being called in January. I think he has a LONG way to go before we start talking about second contracts. As he is, I’m for four years and done with a third rounder coming in. All I know of Davis is his college tape .. and I am already as excited by him as I am about Cook.

I agree. The Super Bowl really struggles for ratings. That’s why you never see Kansas City, with an MSA of only 2 million, in the big game. The league has to do something to get viewers.

There’s something wrong with my feed. I can’t find any two year torch carrying or head exploding posts. I believe the volume on this site would decrease by half if creating a view expressed by no one in order to oppose and deride the view was outlawed. Matt Araiza is an intriguing talent at a position of need for the Buffalo Bills signed by our arch rival, Kansas City. He is in the unfortunate position, like every other NFL player, ever, of not having played his first NFL game before he played his first NFL game. Other players who took this path to the league include Tom Brady, Lawrence Taylor, Johnny Unitas, Otto Graham, Bronco Nagurski and Red Grange. Oh, and Erik Flowers. With that said, all you posters claiming it’s OK to bludgeon baby seals with clubs are heartless sons of guns.

We’re on page six of “our biggest rival signed an intriguing young talent vs. he’s never proved a thing by becoming a Super Bowl MVP in real games.” back and forth. There are two hundred young men annually brought into NFL camps who’ve never taken an NFL snap. I’m paying attention to the talent and the situation. For giggles, I imagine a team assembling its draft board with one person saying “he’s never taken a snap or proved a thing in this league” every time a name is mentioned. Short cut. No one here has claimed he’s proved a thing. No one has to claim he’s proved a thing to have an interesting comment. Our biggest rival signed the biggest new talent at one of our biggest positions of need going into the 2024 season.

You’re right. The ball could’ve sailed over the heads of much better football players.

Well, he did take one NFL snap ….

Thank you for this. You are a forehead. Beware the brick walls. There are many invested in the “my criticism of Allen shows how smart I am” club. “He farts more than Mahomes whether you all want to admit it or not” is coming soon.

LOL at only winning one when someone else beats New England.

Boy, what a terrible article. The guy didn’t address “the arm punt excuse” that the insightful have discovered.

“They’re doing it again! They’re doing it again!’ Van Miller

Whoooo Whhoooo

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?

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.

It wasn’t my best formulation.

I work in the SEC footprint. Almost all of my colleagues are SEC grads. It’s unreal.

Was thinking just that. 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?

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.

Michael Jordan says “Hello.”

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.

Peter Puck!

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.

308 straight games. He was .. the man.
