It’s waaaay to early to know that. Check back after say, Thanksgiving. We’ll have a better idea.

Hey, I don’t have any agenda that doesn’t include wanting Allen to be a franchise QB. Yes, even the lowly Browns have more to work with on offense than the Bills. Denying that Mayfield threw several pinpoint passes ( yes WRs caught them) serves no purpose, though. A senior Bowl is interesting, but it’s not a team where anyone has practiced together for long. I wouldn’t get too excited or concerned about a performance in that game. We have only a small sample size to go on here, but that’s how it is. I like a lot of what Allen brings to the table ( though I liked Mayfield better overall and still do) but there are concerns. The early conclusion is that in addition to reading defenses ( should improve with experience) Allen must develop touch on medium range to short passes and improve ball placement to allow YAC. If he cannot get better at this, he will fail. I’m as invested as the next Bills fan in Allen being a star. It would be crazy to say it isn’t still very much a question. The talent level on the Browns is closer to the Bills than say, what Mahomes has with KC. That joke was in very poor taste.

Wouldn’t change my outlook on the world. There is only one right way and that’s up to each individual. Are there bad people out there? Of course. Do some of them happen to be cops ? Sure, as with any profession. A few anecdotes about a bad cop don’t mean much except to confirm the obvious. Bad folks can be found anywhere. I don’t know what your social status is, but it doesn’t matter. You could be pulled over just as easily as the next person. The situation could go horribly wrong for you if you didn’t handle it properly. That has nothing to do with your race, but a lot to do with your cultural background and how you were raised. It’s just a fact. Money and social status have a lot to do with how things go for us in life. Far more than race. I don’t feel bad about it, that’s just the way of the world. It will not change. Much of what happens to us is dictated by how we interact with others. That includes law enforcement if and when we come into contact with them. More so than volunteering in the worst neighborhood ,my recommendation would be to ride along with a Cop assigned to that beat and see what they deal with every day. Put yourself in that situation, and see how you might respond if you thought someone had a weapon and simply ordered them to put their hands where you can see them. Monday morning quarterbacking that scenario is just so easy, isn’t it?

Again, what are these vile acts committed by McCoy, and how was he punished for them. Chimp memes don’t mean a thing. What happened in Philly ?

Don’t worry, I’ll wait for the reply..... ( crickets) .......

Whew. That’s a lot right there, but I contend that your notion of “ crooked cops” who investigate themselves and “ skate” is grossly exaggerated. Many of these things end up in court with a jury trial. That’s our system, and it’s still the best one in the world. You are firmly bought in to a false narrative. I certainly won’t change your mind with regards to this. It’s also a far cry to equate wanting employees to stand at attention for the playing of the anthem ( harmless) to the morally dicey business practices you cite. No one in their right mind thinks this issue would bankrupt the NFL. As for the legal stuff, next time you are pulled over because you are speeding ask why the other car didn’t get pulled over. Heck, try to sell that to a judge. I’d advise you, it isn’t a winning argument. One who looks for “ racism “ everywhere to justify their own missteps will certainly find it.

I’m not sure what you are referencing here, but it doesn’t answer my question. Just what are these acts you refer to , and what were the legal ramifications ? Was McCoy suspended by the NFL for them ? I’m not familiar with anything that may have occurred during his time in PHL. Please list them in Cliffs notes version.

Oddly enough, Bradford was the first QB the Bills called when FA “ legal tampering”began. Dropped out when the $$ got silly.

What a surprise, some media choad feels that he is “ important “ and crosses the line. Doesn’t mean squat about the Browns organization however, and the Bills are currently the biggest schittt show running.

Not surprising. I read that 16 + point dogs are something like 4-54 ATS since the ‘80s. The Bills don’t appear to be capable of beating the spread in this instance.

Don’t the Bills need CBs more than a Safety ? Anyway, I don’t think the Bills should sign Reid.

Vile and disgusting acts ? Just what are these acts you reference and where is the evidence they were committed ?

Business exists to make profit. You are making a huge assumption that Reid, Kaepernick et al are doing what is “ right”. I for one do not believe that their assertions about America and Police are anywhere near correct, much less “ right and just”. You seem to believe that because wrongs were committed in the distant past, society must make up for it today. The situations being “ protested” are statistically uncommon, to the point of being negligible. There is an existing legal procedure to deal with them and determine if any criminal act was involved. Media hyperbole doesn’t make these occurrences statistically frequent. Do you side with the law and those who enforce it ( acknowledging that errors sometimes occur) or do you side with those who do wrong and excuse their behavior due to whatever external factors life has thrown at them ? Some individuals being “ honored “ with these protests weren’t exhibiting right and just behavior ; such as reaching for a Cop’s gun. Such as promoting hatred of Police and pushing a false narrative about America in order to sell more sneakers ?

If Allen’s passes can look 75% as good as Mayfield’s, he will be a pretty good QB. Whether he can get there or not remains questionable.

This can happen even in Tinseltown ... and who’s to say the business owner isn’t right? In the end, the business will do as it sees fit. Own the business, and do as you wish. No one is owed a platform as an employee.

Yes it does. The business owner is there to make money, not to give anyone a platform to express views on something. Controversial views expressed by employees may offend some customers. This interferes with the purpose of the business. What could be more right than the business owner making such a decision ?Just who should make it for them ? What a nonsensical notion.

If the Bills couldn’t get Mayfield, he was the QB I didn’t want to see in the AFCE. There are no other positives for the Bills if Mayfield and / or other QBs are good. Allen is all that matters. If he isn’t franchise, the Bills are back to square one.

It’s probably McCoys money

And he was the first pick in the draft, soooooooo

Agreed. While Levine is probably not a RR HOF’er, he can definitely play. He’s a very clever songwriter, and that’s something often lacking in pop music these days. Even if it’s not someone’s cup of tea, talent is recognizable. I can respect his stuff for what it is. I don’t think he ever surpassed the magic on “ Jane” though. “ Sunday Morning” is a masterpiece.

The Patriots* had another appointment, and these guys weren’t invited.

Vikings 45 Bills 13

Sure, names attached to quotes is nice. That’s not going to happen in the real world, at least not until well after the key actors are gone. At that point the story becomes a lot less sexy.

It may also be so a member of the recovering team cannot have say, a toe OB and bat the ball towards his teammate before it’s recovered. Anyway, the rule has been around awhile. I recall the Bills being on the wrong end of a call like this recovering a ( Brady?) fumble vs the Pats @BUF in 2001. Anyone else remember this play? It was a close game and the overturned recovery was critical.

I agree. To me, that is the most damning( and uncorrectable) trait in an NFL QB. It comes from within, and there is no cure.
