    The comment "Willing to die for their convictions" was not supposed to be satirical.

     

    I take them to be sincere.  They say they are on a hunger strike until their demands are met.  If the demands are not met and they stay the course, they'll starve to death.  Will take a lot of gumption to see it through either way it works out.

    I hope they die.  What a mess.

    Oh, he reads fine, while that Porn Star was dragging Trump through the mud President Joe Biden was delivering serious and weighty words in a bi-partisan affair that was roundly applauded..

     

    What a contrast!

    He blathers on about antisemitism but never says the word Hamas.  Not once.  Pandering to Dearborn Michigan.  What a mess.

    So your a doctor and have examined him. Good for you. I don’t know Biden. I do know many older people, even tho words don’t come out it doesn’t mean they lost it mentally. I do not make fun of old people. You will all get what you deserve.

    It's "you're" not "your".   You're funny.  Supporting Demented Biden.  What a mess.  

    What is better, no guns, or more guns?

    Bolded part is wrong. State and national laws and policies influence local outcomes.

     

    If violence is the fault of Dems, why are the most dangerous places in the country NOT in states run by the Dems?

    This is a lie.  Take a walk down Clinton Ave in Rochester some warm Saturday night.  You'll see plenty of violence and surely be a victim of it as well.  Six people murdered last weekend alone. Another teen killed in a stolen Kia roll-over.  What a mess.

    Buying votes in a swing state during an election year.  Gee.  Never saw that coming.  Meanwhile the rest of the country is burning down.  Demented Biden botches another thing.  What a mess.

    There were two times that Jevon Kearse rushed untouched to Rob Johnson. Untouched. I mean, I could sort of see that if Kearse was a blitzing safety or something. He wasn't. He was a defensive end. It shouldn't have been a complete shock to the OL that a DE would want to rush the passer. Or course Johnson is going to take sacks on those plays. Any QB would. Those plays generated at least one of Johnson's fumbles.

     

    During the late '90s, the Bills OL had one starter-caliber player: Ruben Brown. The other starters were at a Ryan Bates level, which is to say, quality backup. And quite frankly, I'd take Ryan Bates over Corbin Lacina or Jamie Nails. So you have an OL that's quality backup caliber, except for Ruben Brown. Then you have a sack waiting to happen type QB, in the form of Rob Johnson. But, when Johnson was given good protection, he played at a high level. That's why he was able to put up outstanding numbers for the Jacksonville Jaguars, while being protected by Hall of Fame LT Tony Boselli. When he was with the Bills, he'd often do better in the second half of games than the first half, because in the second half he'd receive some level of pass protection. During the Titans game, the Bills' offensive production came in the second half, due to the OL doing more in the second half than the absolute nothing it had done in the first.

     

    During Johnson's time with the Bills, Butler invested no significant resources into bringing in new quality OL. Like, nothing. He wildly overestimated the play of John Fina, and gave him a monster contract. One year into that new contract, the Bills' new GM Tom Donahoe cut him. Fina then signed with another team, at the vet minimum. And that was Buffalo's second-best OL, after Ruben Brown.

     

    In the late '90s, the Bills defense was by far the best I've ever seen from a Bills team. I mean, that defense was for real. It was the type of defense that wins championships, as long as your offense is at least somewhat good. Flutie was too old to be the QB of the future, and it was either in the 2000 or 2001 season that it became clear he was no longer a credible starter. Rob Johnson at least had youth on his side, but it had become clear he was not the answer either, at least not when playing behind one of the worst OLs of the league. But, maybe he could have accomplished something, had he played behind an OL that was at least somewhat credible? The only way to find out would have been to invest resources into making the OL better. Nothing could have been further from John Butler's thoughts. So now you have a situation where your QB is 100% guaranteed to fail, either due to old age (Flutie), or due to the fact that the roster construction homes in on Johnson's greatest weakness (sack propensity). And, you have this absolutely magnificent defense, which needs at least something from the offense if it's going to challenge for a championship. Sadly the greatness of that defense disappeared quickly, due to old age, injuries, and Ralph Wilson's unwise decision to fire Wade Phillips.
