Logic

Saying "All Lives Matter" isn't necessarily racist, it's just ignorant. It would be like if a house was on fire, and when the fire department got there, you tried to direct them to spray water on every house on the block, because all houses matter. The point is that there is one specific house that is on fire, and that's the one we're trying to get help for. By the way, saying "black lives matter" is not saying "black lives matter MORE". Cool. Glad you're able to have a mature, adult discussion about this issue.

Please explain how kneeling silently during the anthem disrespects the troops. Please also suggest a different way to "make their voice heard" that you think would be effective and "acceptable".

I disagree that their opinions hold as much weight as yours or mine. MILLIONS of people are likely to hear Brees' opinion. Not so much yours. And whether he likes it or not, many young people look up to him as an example. The opinions of athletes -- and all famous public figures, really -- carry more weight than yours or mine. And I disagree with Brees. For anyone to still think kneeling wasn't justified or is just about "disrespecting the flag", well...If the events of the past week haven't opened up your eyes to the importance and necessity of Kaepernick's protest, I suggest that nothing ever will.

Right, because protesting systemic racism and police brutality and attending a football game are totally equal in terms of importance.

Brandon Beane:

Again with this already debunked nonsense?

That's true. I happen to believe that they really are done adding at Edge, though. They have three veterans in Hughes, Addison, and Murphy. They have a highly drafted youngster in Epenesa. That right there is the likely four-man rotation. Behind those four, they have two developmental prospects they like in Love and Johnson. I don't see them adding another older veteran like Griffen to the existing group. One could argue that they should cut Murphy and add Griffen instead, but I'd disagree with that notion. I'm not saying Griffen isn't a good player. I just don't think the Bills have any interest in signing him.

This. The staff also sounds as though they like Daryl Johnson and Mike Love quite a bit. I think they’re done adding at Edge.

I know this game was a loss and all, but one of my favorite sequences ever happened in this one: The goal line stand. The Browns had it from, what, the 2-yard line, with an epic amount of chances at it, and we stoned 'em. It was awesome. There's gotta be video of that sequence around somewhere.

I could not possibly have imagined how much fun it would be to watch Tom Brady play TERRIBLE golf and split his pants on national TV, but here we are.

They must have planned it with the idea that people were still mostly stuck at home.

Yep. 3pm EST.

This matchup should be...interesting? Or not. Probably not. It's sports. It's like the ONLY sports. I'm going with Phil and Brady in this one.

Which one of these is you?

There are a few variables that will affect this. Does Cody Ford improve at right tackle and make the coaching staff feel comfortable keeping him there? Does Darryl Williams re-gain his former Pro Bowl level form? Does Feliciano play at the same level, regress, or improve? Ideally, I think the coaches want the same starting five as last season. I think they want Ford at right tackle long term and believe that he will improve in his second season at that position. In reality, the above variables will decide whether that's possible, or whether its wiser to move Ford to right guard, move Feliciano to the bench, and let either Williams or Nsekhe start at RT. This is the type of thing that would normally go down to the wire in training camp, but with the current uncertainty surrounding the offseason, smart money has to be on Feliciano and Ford manning the starting spots to begin the season.

What could be a more apt sign of a return to glory for the first time since the 90s than an article from AOL?

The leaked Bills QB board picture from ‘18 shoes the rankings thus: Allen Darnold Mayfield Rudolph If I remember correctly, Jackson wasn’t even listed.

I still proudly wear my "Poncho Power" shirt on game days. The whole "filling backpacks full of school supplies for needy kids" as his dying wish shows what a class act he was. RIP Pancho.

Player gets DWI, no other news or updates about it have come out since...28 page thread. I love this forum and I love Bills fans. I would be willing to bet that Bills fans are the most active on message boards of any fans in the league. I mean...that and a nickel will get you a peppermint, but still.

One More Saturday night is happening now on YouTube. New Year’s Eve 2019 in San Fran. I was there!

Just of curiosity, so that we can gauge your level of bias and realism... You’ve stated that you see Allen having a Culpepper/Newton like career. What type of career do you see Sam Darnold having? Who would you compare HIM to? By the way, you might want to take a look at Elway’s career stats. Allen has actually completed a higher percentage of passes, thrown more TDs and less interceptions through his first two years than Elway did. Even in year 3 of Elway’s career, he threw more INTs than TDs. The point is that Hall of Fame QBs don’t just IMMEDIATELY start out their careers at a Hall of Fame level. Favre is another good illustration of this. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/E/ElwaJo00.htm

I like Josh, I'm rooting hard for Josh, and I see it as totally reasonable that he could become a top tier NFL quarterback. Nothing would make me happier. He's incredibly easy to root for and is the PERFECT guy to be the face of the franchise for the next decade+. That said, I voted for "doesn't get re-signed by the Bills" because I wanted to vote with my head, not my heart. As things stand RIGHT NOW based on Josh's play through two seasons, he's a bottom third QB in this league. I believe he CAN improve significantly, and he now has the pieces around him to do so. Until I see it happen, though, I don't feel comfortable predicting that the Bills will be comfortable handing him 30+ million a season. He has work to do. It's also not out of the realm of possibility that he gets Fromm'd. Don't @ me.

One of them was definitely Emmanuel Sanders. It's also been confirmed they tried to trade for AJ Green. Beyond that, it's anyone's guess. I echo others in saying I'm glad we got Diggs instead, based on age and overall ability.

Thanks for pointing out this podcast and for the summary! I'll give it a listen. Davis was super under the radar, in my opinion. Even though I knew the Bills would draft a WR at some point, and thus, I studied many WRs before the draft, his name somehow never came up. I wasn't familiar with him at all. He is stepping into the PERFECT situation in Buffalo, with the ability to learn from some of the best pros in the league at WR and no pressure on him to contribute immediately. Same for Isaiah Hodgins. Very excited to see the receiving corps in action.

Lol. I specifically meant catching the ball out of the air, but your response was fair. ?
