If I was a mental health professional living in Philly I would volunteer.

Who the hell are you, and why are you on a Bills site since you clearly hate the team?

We once again missed the chance to have a real debate this election about the real question that is ignored time and time again: what is the role of the federal government? What we have in this country is the paradox of people wanting more goods and services (social programs for the left, big military spending for the right), and low taxes. That math simply does not work. Wanting more things at your home without the money to pay for it does not work at your kitchen table, unless you are stupid enough to put yourself into debt you cannot handle (which admittedly happens way too often). Why do people expect the government to be different? We as a citizenry have acted like spoiled children for far too long. we have let politicians act like spoiled children as well and not held them, and ourselves, to account. If, as a society, we feel that governmental programs are necessary, then we need to pony up the taxes to pay for them. Instead, we have politicians handing out pork with no concern other that their electoral future, and paying for it by going into what is now 23 trillion dollars debt. If as a society we feel that we shouldn't have such a vast array of federal programs, then get rid of them, and you still would have to pay higher taxes for a while to bring this absurd debt down to some manageable level. I think the federal government should be doing what it is mandated to do under the Constitution. We have far too many federal government departments and programs. Get rid of them, rely on benevolent organizations, churches etc. to help with social needs for the poor and such, and institute a flat tax where billionaires pay a ton more than their administrative assistants, and a reasonable corporate rate. We have to return to some sense of fiscal sanity.

The bad guy as you put it was a black man with a known history of bipolar disorder. The family apparently was telling the police that. Now if I'm the policeman and a guy is charging right at me with a knife I amy have no other choice. But why can't steps be taken beforehand to de-escalate things?

The Pats are having trouble stopping runs outside the tackles. I expect more yards from Motor and Moss and some designed Josh runs. We drafted Josh knowing we needed a strong armed guy when the weather gets bad. So I expect us to be OK on that side of the ball. The defense needs to continue what it did second half of last week. Play with energy and purpose. I don’t know what McD said/screamed at them at half time but sure as hell worked. Jam the box and make Newton and his weak receiving corps try to beat you on a lousy weather day.

Yes. They have to play better. They gave up 4 yards in the second half so maybe that’s a start.

He’s having a tough year. But you cannot deny his athleticism. It just seems to me he is still thinking too much vs. reacting, still learning the position. I have not been a proponent of moving him outside but that may wind up being the answer.

Because he does

I would not be surprised to see us trade for Dunlap or Atkins from the Bengals.

I would love to hear what McD said at halftime to the defense

Let’s just play touch

McD has to challenge the manhood of his defense at halftime. They have got to bring some intensity.

We simply have weak players up front. No coaching can help when you are weaker than the guy in front of you.

At some point the players have to get so embarrassed they get pissed off and actually play football.

I normally don’t get negative on the game thread. But we’re going to lose. If you can’t stop an 0-6 team on 3rd and 20 you have no business winning

Maybe we can get Wudy the Wabbit lined up at WR!

1960. First game at the Rockpile with my dad. I was 4 years old. Been a part of my life ever since.

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field!

Bingo! Wish we had Hulka at DT!

Hers’s Another movie line: lighten up Francis. The movie?

Almost all the TEs out. DBs dropping like flies. Smoke is smoked. LBs still hurt. Plenty of excuses to cave in. But did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! Darnold? He’s a dead man! Gase? Dead! Greggy and the rest of the Jets youth? Dead! This will be our finest hour!

Any team in the league who gets hit with a lot of injuries at on position has to scramble. People here are pretending there should be an unlimited pipeline of CBs. We have guys that will have to go out and do the job. Probably play a lot of zone with our extra safeties more in CB mode if needed.

Lewis starts. White I think will play. If not Neal plays and Johnson moves outside. Hyde may rotate to CB.

He’ll just be another addition to the list of all-time great Alabama QBs in the NFL. Last one was Stabler.

Because he wouldn’t want to take around a 10 million a year pay cut
