I went to my first bills game as a kid in their first season. I went to games as a young teenager in the AFL championship years. I went to games with my wife in our early years together. Went to games with my kids in the super bowl years and the first decade of the 2000's. I now take grandchildren to occasional games. And while I will always be a Bills fan, the in-stadium experience of seeing them consistently gets worse and worse. Go Bills!

There's the expression usually referring to basketball, "you can't teach height". I have a real question, not rhetorical, can you fix stupid? I really don't know. You can teach an ignorant person, but can you change a stupid one? I'm not saying that what Oliver did was horrible, I'm saying it's stupid, given his financial situation, his very public status, his future. How hard is it to not drive with an open container? How hard is it to not have a handgun that might be illegal? Is it really that difficult for a player to not put himself in a position where he might get suspended by the league? Real question-is he stupid, and if so can that be fixed?

Home opener 1969 was against the Jets, who had won the super bowl the previous january. When the Jets were introduced prior to the kickoff, I remember them getting a standing ovation from the Bills crowd, for being the first AFL team to beat the hated NFL. That was when the 2 leagues were still separate, and only shared the draft and the super bowl. That stadium had 'character'

because he was born a long time ago

we had season tickets to the Braves in the oranges after a Braves playoff game (I believe against the celtics-pretty sure we lost) the aud let people sleep overnight in the corridors to get standing room only sabre playoff tickets for the next days game (I think against Montreal-overtime win) times have really changed in so many ways

Hi, Mr. smarty pants here- Meatloaf, this is a serious virus that will ultimately kill thousands if not millions of people. It will kill intelligent as well as ignorant people. Misinformation, ignorance and rumors will add to the death toll. Please know that chloroquine is well known to the medical community, ANY evidence of efficacy is anecdotal at best, and there are reports of chloroquine overdosing causing people to be hospitalized. The mark of an intelligent person is they try to know when they are out of their depth. The mark of unintelligent person is they think they know what they are talking about when they have no clue. The mark of an idiot is that they listen to the latter. Please, stay healthy

thanks, now could you please let the Italian government in on your info, where over 5400 people have died from the virus, out of about 59,000 cases.

I'm an old person, and would be thrilled if only old people died from this virus. Unfortunately, young healthy people have died, and are dying from this virus

Meatloaf, I'm thrilled to hear that there is a cheap generic drug that I can take so I don't have to worry about dying. What is it's name? Do you think I can order it on Amazon? Do you think cynicism and sarcasm will minimize its efficacy?

There will be no 2020 NFL season. If things go very well, in regards to vaccine development, NFL a year from now is at best, a possibility. Unfortunately, no matter how much a fan of the Bills you are, (and I have followed them since they first drafted Richie Lucas), no 2020 NFL football is the least of our problems. Stay away from others when you can, don't worry about paying rent or mortgages, (courts will not be functioning for quite sometime, whether the government puts a hold on evictions or not), hope that the government can make sure that people don't go hungry, and most of us will get through this.

If that's the case, it would seem nuts to sign a high price vet at the position, no matter how good he's been in the past. Besides the price and the culture fit, you have no idea what future production will be beyond an estimate based on past production. It would seem this is where you go to the draft to supplement Singletary.

I've seen in numerous threads that transition from college to nfl is difficult for WR. To those who have some degree of knowledge, how tough is it for running backs?

well, with Brady gone, we'll see how good Belichick is

I probably agree, but when looking at the culture McBeane is trying to build, sitting these guys out says to the rest of the team, (and especially the rest of the starters), "these guys are more important than you" They are, but do you want to announce it to the world? I realize you're talking depth, but I think the optics are bad.

Given Josh's measurables, those things that are facts, not subject to opinion 1. age 2. contract 3. size 4. speed 5. arm strength and his immeasurables, those things that everyone has opinions on 1. Intelligence 2. work ethic 3. leadership 4. potential 5. competitiveness 6. and most important-ability to be an NFL QB I was wondering how many and which nfl gms would trade their starting QB straight up for Josh today. I'm convinced that the pats would do it in a heartbeat, but only once this season was over. Thoughts?

There are a lot of people who love Josh, some who don't. He's got strengths, he's got weaknesses. But what I think is indisputable is that at WORST, Beane drafted a QB who is 1. a hard worker 2. a leader 3. strong physically and mentally 4. mobile 5. intelligent and most importantly 6. a qb we can win with I think on draft night 2 years ago, pretty much everyone would have signed on to that

I realize its a small sample size, but his 4th quarter qbr through 3 games is 125. Is this just an anomaly, or does it tell us something about JA?

in front of a speeding car-no in front of the dallas defense for a base salary of $570,000 and roster bonus of $709,898 (spotrac) , hell yeah, and I bet most posters here would also life is much easier when one is able to recognize sarcasm

I'd say it's actually good for rosen 1. He gets to play 2. 99% chance he looks bad-nobody will blame him 3. 1% chance he looks good-he's a hero 4. He gets injured-well at least he won't have to do this again for a while

Yes, along with all the other types of games

Sorry, but there's no way you can short Cookie

I find it hard to believe that in today's nfl ANY player anywhere is 'under the radar'

Wade???

If he did, "nevermind"

to all those who are shocked/surprised/disappointed- Apparently, not one of the other 31 nfl teams thought shady was worth as much as a 7th round draft choice (I assume McBeane would have taken one in a trade at the risk of "disrespecting" shady), either due to current salary, recent production, age, locker room presence, whatever. If 31 nfl gm's thought he had no value, what makes you think McBeane would or more importantly should feel otherwise?
