So at the end of the day do you have a solution? I really appreciate you adding your view. There is so much you said that I agree with.

I indeed wasn't. But if I were, it would have nothing to do with this. I don't look forward to the stammering Biden for the next 3 years...HOWEVER...as an American citizen I'm only given two choices. As an individual, please don't group me in with a whole parties beliefs. I disagree with plenty Biden says, HOWEVER, I agree with Trump even less. So what am I supposed to do? Not vote???? Unfortunately I was forced to vote against Trump rather than for Biden. And I'm not happy about it.

Trump is a chess player. Its now clear his strategy was to tell his base to vote on election day and avoid mail in ballots, so that on the actual election day, he would run up a lead in key states, all so he could rush and claim victory before the mail in votes get counted, and make public claims that the election was would be attempted to be stolen by democrats. The same claim he already let be known he would make months ago. He knew the mail in votes would diminish the election day leads he would obviously have. How did he know? Because of the pre election polls clearly showed Biden was the favorite. He did the exact same thing in 2016 when the pre election polls predicted he would lose, he came out saying he would be cheated by fraud with zero evidence. Then he won, and all of a sudden the only fraud was with the popular vote since he lost that. When Donald Trump wins its all good, if he loses its fraud. He knows his base are sheeple and will believe whatever he says. He would rather see violence erupt in this country than bow out gracefully. The so called law & order president. How grown adult human beings can't logically see whats going and instead act like Jim Jones followers, is beyond me and quite frankly very very sad. I am disturbed because even some people I know who are leaders, not at all known to be idiots, have fallen so much that they literally agree with and defend Trumps every word and action. Defending a man who the vast majority of Americans would not want their children emulating, yet still has 47% of America's support. I beg of you Truml supporters to snap out of it. Examine yourself to find the root of why you would want this type of person to be the leader of this great country. At least 4 million Americans want Biden to be the president over Trump. I know the popular vote doesn't pick the president but can you Trump supporters at least aknowlege and admit that MORE AMERICANS DONT WANT TRUMP THEN THOSE WHO DO? Or did democrats manufacture millions of fake votes? Let's be real guys. Be your own person. Open your eyes and see reality before you. Don't be a minion that goes with whatever another man says without using your own brain and seeing things for what they really are. Trump supporters, like us all, knew that if Trump would pull this crap. He told us ahead of time. Its a damn shame the wool so many allow to be pulled over their eyes. Again...its disturbing and its very very sad. Its ok to agree with a candidate's policies, but also be able to stand up, as a sensible grown American, with some sort of damn integrity, and say hey, this man is not fit to be leader of this country. He has some good ideas but is a liar who can't accept defeat of any kind. He is willing to put the future of this country on the line just so he can claim victory. Bottom line is...he claims fraud but the only real fraud here is him. All you Trump supporters should wake up, don't be like that dude, and be able to admit you were wrong. Did I vote for Biden as much as I voted against Trump? No. I can be clear headed and admit things. Try it...it feels great. But that's the position I was forced into. I actually value THE TRUTH...and things like INTEGRITY still matter to me. That is more important than the economy or anything else! Once I see you currently have little integrity and are a liar...anything else you are talking about means much of nothing to me. I wish so many Americans weren't willing to disregard those oh so important characteristics. As a black man in America, seeing 47% of America supported this crap tells me things are even worse than what I thought. These are very sad sad days in America. You folks who claim you live this country need to wake tf up!

So is Trump a hypocrite for clearly being all for the ideology behind these bills you bring up but then passing prison bill reforms? Or do you think I should accept that Trumps mindset has changed on the issue?

You talk as if Donald Trump wasn't all for those policies and wouldn't have voted for them if he was in Congress back then. Should he get a pass cause he wasn't in position to vote for these bills even tho he clearly supported them?

He admitted he was wrong for those bills and his mindset has changed. As a Trump supporter I wouldn't expect that to mean anything to you.

As a black man I TOTALLY disagree with you saying Biden is more of a racist than Trump. I believe Biden was racist in his younger years but plenty of racists have changed an no longer have racists views. Biden is one of them.

Yep. Covid protocol violations. The Raiders are 4 time offenders and earned what the league just handed down. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-jon-gruden-fined-lose-draft-pick-for-covid-19-violations

That could be the case but not necessarily. If Lockett's match up was that much better, then it makes sense to heavily target him. Let's not forget how much a best Lockett is especially against some teams #2 CB. Metcalf is on his way to being the best WR in the league. Hands down.

Look I get Wims deserved to be suspended but that Gardner-Johnson dude shouldnt just be let off the hook. He deserves criticism for being the douche he is. His own teammate and best player on the Saints, Michael Thomas, even got suspended a game cause Gardner-Johnson pissed him off enough for him to get Thomas to swing off on him in practice. Couple that with the other GJ antics caught on film and this dude deserves a healthy dose of criticism for being such an asshat.

Yeah well Fred doesn't get too much mention on national TV these days so im sure he was tagged multiple times and took notice. Glad he was mentioned! He deserves it. And really deserves a spot on the wall if you ask me.

Still weird seeing these vets signed to practice squads. Hard to wrap my mind around...

I think we can all agree now that the 49ers game will be a win.

Why tho??? Josh would definitely be able to feed a big target like that. I don't get why people say that. Bills fans have this the worst...nobody would be as good if they came here according to too many of you...

6 Receptions 102 Yards 2 TDs IN THE FIRST HALF!

TO on roids

Thanks man....I'm actually gonna put $1000 on Brady. I think adding AB gives him a legit shot. Alot of value in that one. I'll probably do a few parlays with him included as well.

Anyone know of any sites that are taking futures bets on MVP?

Hard to argue he wasn't trying to hit the QB on the ground when he dived toward the ground to make the hit on a QB who started going down a full second before. You HAVE to eject players for stuff like that. QBs are too important to this game. If that happened to Josh by Suh would you be against the ejection??

Did you read my OP? I already stated what the win means. I know its important for us to win. My whole point is that many fans are putting an extra importance on this game that they shouldn't. And I thoroughly explained why. You say MOVE ON which is the exact same thing I'm saying. Move on and see the Patriots for what they are in this post Brady era. Just another divisional foe. Not some giant we need to slay.

Geez my point is simply that beating today's Pats means ZIP, ZERO, ZILCH towards rectifying anything. We are now the favorites. Its not the same Bills vs Pats matchup that we would pray to win for the last two decades. Yet I see most fans viewing this game as they have in the past. Is my point so hard to understand? Once we win you'll see what I mean. A lot of over celebrating like we slayed the dragon. NO. The dragon has already died of old age. Its a new era in which I think the Dolphins will be our toughest division foe for years to come.

Im talking specifically sweeping them or winning the division. We had almost 20 seasons to do it and couldnt get it done. Not once. OUCH Maybe you didnt read the OP cause it was too long but you and many others are missing my point. The 2020 Pats might as well be a whole nother team. Beating them has nothing to do with our failure against the Brady/Bill combo. It doesnt make it better. Some people will celebrate it as if we cleared some hurdle. Part of moving forward is letting go of the Pats obsession. I think we are both saying the same thing.

So Brady finishing his career with the Pats having won the division EVERY freaking year he played there (IR year not counting) isnt much worse than if we at least won once??? I disagree. Getting shut out is way freaking worse. Its like saying losing 24 - 0 is the same as losing 20 - 0. That goose egg is much worse imo than at least winning once. Going 0-4 in the superbowl is much worse than if we went 1-4. So no, taking the division from Brady only once doesn't wipe away years of dominance. If you read my OP you'd know I agree with that. HOWEVER, beating him at least once is better than letting this man ride off into the sunset having pitched a career shutout against us.

You must be on one

Why shouldn't this game be considered bigger than if we were facing any other 2-4 division opponent? BECAUSE BRADY IS GONE!! DUH!!!! It was a miserable day for me when he officially left the Pats. I sat back shaking my head watching other fans celebrate his departure. Celebrate? Celebrate what? I felt like a loser. I knew it was over. Our chances had dried up. We failed. We let Brady go almost two whole decades owning us. And even when he got into his 40's he still owned us. They swept us countless seasons with him at the helm. I remember thinking last preseason that he would regress a little and maybe we would FINALLY sweep them. Then later thinking how it still would suck because it took for Brady to be 42 for us to finally pull it off. Sweeping him that year wouldn't fix shish. Then the season plays out and what happens? With one last shot at preventing the long ash career sweep shutout, we allow Brady to land a final KO punch, and HE SWEEPS US!! What an ending. We failed guys. Let's face it, lick our wounds and reset. Oh, and don't try to make this about Belichick. Beating the Pats with Cam at QB is NOWHERE NEAR THE SAME THING AS BEATING THEM WITH BRADY. To me there's an exponential difference if its not The Pair. Many of you seem to be approaching this game with that exact same frame of mind as years past. That baffles me. That slay the dragon mentality, when in reality, there is no longer a dragon around to slay. Our chances to do that have come and gone. All that's left is a permanent stain on our record that will inevitably be mentioned time and time again in the future, because Brady, being the GOAT, will be talked about forever. His dominance on his division will be talked about forever. Not as much, BUT, his dominance against one team in particular will be talked about forever. WHY? Because he has the most wins of any QB against one team in NFL history. Just a random notch on Tom Brady's belt. It's universally agreed (which is not an easy feat in the sports world) that Tom is the best QB of all time, and Bill is the best head coach of all time. So our only consolation prize is that we can feel a little less bad about it all since it was the GOATs who handed us the most embarrassing 20 year record between division "rivals" in league history. They weren't some random HC-QB pair who shined for an era. NOPE! ALL TIME GOATS! Unfortunately they landed in the AFC East and we took the brunt of it. They would have done this same thing to some other team if they landed in a different division as a pair (we'd like to think anyway). It damn near makes me physically sick typing this post right now. I never expressed my feelings on this matter neither verbally nor through writing. The feeling is terrible but is mitigated by my belief in the not so distant future for this team. So like I said, let's reset and realize this is nothing more than a home division game that we should win. I think most the players know this and don't have that imaginary psychological hurdle to get over. And lastly, YES! When we win, it WILL feel better than beating the Jets or the Phins. Just seeing the final scoreboard with a larger number next to the Bills logo than what's next to the Pats logo, HELL YEAH! That's just a natural human reaction for people who spent the number of years we have dominated by one team. Wins against them will fill better than other division wins for years to come. Im sure some players will feel that way for at least the next few matches, as will some coaches. Especially McD, who has never beat either of the GOATs. But at the end of the day, when your over the top emotions wear off, just understand a win over the Pats Sunday means nothing more than keeping them in 3rd place and taking a step toward winning a tiebreaker if it comes to that. It wouldn't be some legendary victory or signature win like many are painting it to be. That era is over.
