  1. In a online class.... I had one rip my writing apart. But what made it different was he got personal in the attack. Red Flags went up... luckily it was during the Drop/Add period and I dropped him like a hot rock. He sent me a scathing email after I dropped. In hindsight, his behavior was totally psychotic and I should have reported him. At a well known university... I took a graduate level class on how to conduct surveys. I had high hopes for it. All the adjunct professor talked about was LGBT. She covered very little of the material. She deliberately skipped the mandatory professor feedback survey at the end of the semester. I wrote to the Dean since she didn't do the feedback survey and gave him my opinion. The professor quietly disappeared.
  2. I see lots of memes comparing statistics of Allen and Jackson. They are off the mark. That is not the criteria of the MVP award. The criteria is what player is "most valuable" to their team. Allen took the no-name roster of the Bills to 12-3, he elevated people around him. Jackson took a stout Ravens roster to 10-5 (before yesterday's game). Tyrod Taylor would look good in Baltimore. Allen is more to Bills, than Jackson is to Ravens.
  3. I can't believe he will be an FA already, I remember the day he was drafted. They grow up so fast. I'd give him a two year contract, but he will find better on the open market. He's as good as gone.
  4. Vanilla is OK with me. Keep those cards close to the chest and not let opponents see what we'll do in the playoffs.
  5. Maye is pretty good, he has great potential. No one tell him about how Jordan Palmer transformed Josh Alllen. Shush.
  6. When Damar Hamlin is a starter, you know you're scraping the bottom of the barrel.
  7. Babich is a Grade B coordinator with a Grade B roster, and it shows. The D would probably rank #16 of the 32 teams. The smashing success of Allen obscures the fact that the Bills are rebuilding this year, rebuilding the D at least.
  8. I'm questioning my memory, did he even play last night (New England)? The box score has nothing on him, it doesn't even list him. I thought he played but I can't remember him doing anything. FWIW.. he got 3 tackles the prior week against Detroit.
  9. Nice guys. Good choices by Pegula. I expect nada impact from them football wise (as it should be), but at least Pegula didn't bring any jerks into the fold. Pegula: I try to get not too high, and not too low. Good for him. That's why McDermott hasn't been fired--Pegula doesn't succumb to lows. Pegula's office looked chintzy for a billionaire. Saving money for the important stuff--I guess that's how you get rich.
  10. It's not a bad omen, it's a good omen. It didn't hit their house
  11. Thoughtful, intelligent, and nice.... I agree. There are some posters here who downplay those qualities, they are cynical about them. They come out during the draft "Oh great, another team Captain" or "Another process pick." They are on the wrong side of history.
  12. Poor Cooper. I'd like him to produce on the field commensurate with his contract, but it is what it is. Maybe his presence allows other receivers to elevate their game. Maybe. The passing game has been lit when he plays.
  13. Dome or No Dome, it is a moot point now. People act as if a dome was a real option. It was never on the table, people weren't willing to spend the extra billion. We're lucky we got what we did.
  14. IIRC... late 1990s: 1. There was an acronym like SO (Subject Only) used in subject lines of empty posts. 2. Belinda asked what that meant, and she was kind of irritated about it 3. In response, frisky posters started using (Belinda) instead of (SO) 4. Belinda didn't like being made fun of and disappeared
  15. Queen of Buffalo is an unearned title. She seems nice and all, but she has not demonstrated a bond with WNY yet. My fingers are crossed that she becomes all in.
  16. Josh Allen... extend his contract again, now. Here's to hoping Hailee doesn't lure him out of town. That is a worry in the back of my mind. For your reference: "Josh Allen signed a $258M, six year extension with the Bills on August 6, 2021"
  17. For me it was Tremaine Edmunds and Tre'Davious White. It's the Tre in common. Both first rounders, selected in consecutive years.
  18. Troll level 8. The lack of subtlety keeps it from being a 10.
  19. Remember how doomsday some people around here were when we lost 2 in a row? They wanted to run McDermott out of town. They were mouthy then, but you don't hear much from them these days.They should come forward and own it.
  20. I'm not going to poke fun at Tyrod for bad decisions concerning women. Many of us on this board have done the same--but just not to the scale of a professional athlete. Our failings are the same nature, just less spectacular.
  21. Why would you post that? Bad juju.
  22. From Super Bowl appearance to one of the worst teams in football, in one season. That's an epic fall from grace.
  23. Because you foresee a Lions--Bills Super Bowl....?
  24. That thing is 55 years old? She looks 75.
  25. I'm so old.........How old are you? I remember Terrel Bernard as a depth player, on a good day. There was no way he could replace Tremaine Edmunds. It is nice to be wrong, very wrong.
