Truth is, if you would vote for Sanders or Warren to be POTUS , you aren’t even remotely moderate. But hey, In lefty-land perception is reality. I guess its not considered much different than actually being a guy , but “ considering oneself “ to be a girl. Edit: and hey, 38 really isn’t that young.

In a superficial way there may be similarities. However, the differences couldn’t be more stark. Trump is populist , but called for “ making America great again” . Not pandering to political correctness , but getting the USA back from the loony left and 8 years of Obama. Bernie doesn’t want to make America great again, he wants to make America go away ; to change the very essence of what it means to be American. Scary that voters under say , 40 think socialism is a good idea.

So Pete Buttigieg got ( wait for it )....2% of the black vote today. Will the Dems now face the elephant in the room and admit that “ Mayor Pete” can’t win a general election ? The left is so outside the American mainstream that the gay candidate is the centrist. Bernie Sanders racing toward the nomination. Wow, not sure what else could more clearly illustrate the gap between the Dems and American ideals. I have to believe it is the young , indoctrinated millennials ( mostly) that are supporting Bernie because they have no idea why or how our country came to be. Thank goodness Trump is in office and will be re-elected to a second term; the Democratic Party clearly wants to dismantle America.

This^^. Sorry, but the country just isn’t going to vote for a President and “first dude “in the White House. Bernie is just too radical for the vast majority of voters.

Some will moan and complain, as always. Bottom line; more games, more teams in the playoffs / playoff games and people will watch. If you don’t like it, then stick to your convictions and stop watching the NFL. ( But you know you won’t ).

Blatant pandering to black voters , as Mayor Butti doesn’t poll well with them ( likely due to his sexuality). As an aside, Limbaugh’s question is a fair one. Personally, I don’t want the leader of the free world to be kissing another man in public ( which would be often). Do I think he shouldn’t be able to get married ? Of course not, but I wouldn’t vote for that individual to be POTUS.

These things get paid for in a certain way. Other NFL cities have already done this. Buffalo is not going to reinvent the wheel here when it comes to how stadiums get built.

Have you been in the city lately ? I live downtown and it’s far from impoverished here. Are there impoverished areas in the city ? Sure, but those folks probably aren’t paying property taxes. That’s what your numbers reflect. Those numbers aren’t a reflection of people living in the city that are doing well. I also don’t see many people who live in my general area of the city that have children. They’d probably move to the ‘burbs or South Buffalo if they did. You have to look at what numbers really mean.

Big stadium renos cost $500 million about a decade or so ago; including the one Erie County chose not to do in favor of the window dressing renovations last time around. You make a lot of assumptions, including that what you want in a stadium matches what the Bills feel they need to increase revenues. It’s highly unlikely these two things intersect where you’d like them to. The Bills are going to do what they feel is the best course to take, not what some fans hope they will do.

And only slightly more likeable than Brady.

Stacking Lombardi’s . That ought to do it ; sounds easy enough !

As fans, we can say whatever we want and counter these points of view, but that doesn’t matter at all. What does matter is that actual NFL players have these views and perceptions, and that’s a problem. Denying them or trying to minimize them doesn’t make them go away. Green Bay is mentioned, but it still has a certain “ championship” aura to it and they still have Rodgers. That gives the organization credibility. Yes, money matters but these players are going to get paid somewhere. That means Buffalo has to pay more, and that is a big disadvantage. Other “ cold” NFL teams are near a major city, so there isn’t a lot attractive about Buffalo to a player with options.

An awful tragedy and seems it just got worse. Very sad all the way around. Terrible look by CNN ( reportedly) mentioning his transgression. Definitely not the time and Kobe Bryant did a lot more good than bad in life. Nobody’s perfect and he was well respected . RIP

Really illustrates the fact that there are good and even great players found all over the draft. So much focus and hype around the first round, and doomsayers love to tell you why your team just screwed themselves for the next 5 years. It’s clear that these types of hot takes are nonsense. You need certain pieces on offense to be a championship caliber team, but you don’t need a team of first rounders.

Ahh, but is that a sandwich ?

I see exceptional offensive design in these Super Bowl teams, to go along with their talent. I’m not sure the Bills have an OC that can scheme at that level. I guess we’re going to find out. I can see why McD tried to land Jucszyk in FA. Too bad we had to settle for DiMarco. He’s a poor imitation.

The Bills were pretty good in scoring defense in 2019, not just yardage.

Agreed. Never liked that band or their awful, schlocky music; has nothing to do with his involvement in the Toronto group or the Bills. Hated them long before that. He and his band can’t hold a candle to my faves, as I like good music. Most Americans probably fit in that category somewhere. I don’t think many would like an Ayn Rand type vision of a country, with pay as you go roads, etc. Many are ok with a childless taxpayer chipping in for their neighbors child to attend school and so on. In a pure sense everyone should pay only for what they use, but this would be wildly impractical.

Chiefs delayed their seemingly annual home playoff sayonara until this week, but it was a temporary stay of execution. Titans head to Super Bowl LIV 30-28

Tannehill has played pretty darn well , and was a first round draft pick. They have a dominant ground game and a good defense. If they win the Super Bowl, how is anything about them false ? Your take on the “ talk” is weak sauce. I’d rather listen to measured takes from fans that realize that there is more than one way to skin a proverbial feline. You don’t need the best QB in the NFL to win the Championship. Aaron Rodgers has a single SB win with no Pats*/ Brady dominating the NFC for the better part of 20 years. The “ we need QB X , should have drafted QB Z” stuff is what gets tiresome.

With Sean I think that it is. I don’t think you need to be a Christian ( or subscribe to any religion for that matter) to be a good human though, and that was my intended point.

Yeah, I think he was there when Cassel was. Mostly remember him starting with PIT though. He was pretty darn good as a Buckeye , which is the only reason I still like him. Any non buckeye player who puts on a Pats* uniform I will immediately despise for the rest of their days.

Whaley was dismissed almost immediately after the draft. You don’t pass on drafting a franchise QB because of a salary. Any GM worth having will want a say in choosing their rookie QB, so I understand the wait. It was still a costly error by the fairly green owners, though. I don’t think being a Christian has any bearing on things. By all accounts Rivera is one of the good guys in the NFL, so that part may be replicable. Probably is by liberal media standards. NBC ( MSNBC) seems to fit that profile.

Pretty neutral on it overall ; amazing how New England making an early playoff exit will do that. As for who I think will win, I’m going to go with the Titans and the 49ers. In the AFC the Titans just look to be that team of destiny; they’re built to destroy Super Bowl dreams on the road ( and that’s just more fun to watch imo... I’d rather see a car wreck than an expected triumph). As for the NFC I think the Niners are a more complete team top to bottom. Plus Rodgers is kind of a weird curmudgeon and the Pack are kind of boring.

I agree, and the point about the TE is a very good one. The best offenses have ‘em, and Allen needs a reliable one going into season 3. That’s a huge year in his ultimate evaluation, and Knox is still a maybe. I know they’re not going to go out and get a George Kittle, but an upgrade with reliable hands is critical.
