Buffalo management has been hellbent on watering down and commercializing the fan experience since the late nineties. I have nothing but contempt for all of it. It's amazing they aren't on better terms with Goodell, because our management has seemed to be in lock-step with that weasel since he rose to power. It becomes more clear to me with every passing year that the NFL's best years are certainly behind it and they're sliding into the backside of their prime. I hope I get to see a Bills SB win before the game gets completely diluted, but it's already pretty easy to admit that it won't mean as much as it would've 20 years ago.
In with the dome, heated seats, personal tablets, valet parking, in stadium restaurants, PSL, $200 tickets, waterslides, ice rinks and basically any other attraction they can offer for people with too much money and too little sense to forget they're at a football game. -

He's not worth what he wants
He's not Zeke or Barkley or Gurley, or AP in his prime or Shady in his prime
He's a really good but not HoF back. Singletary can become as good as him
He's good but not AP in his prime good, or Zeke good or Barkley good
He obviously talented but not enough for what he wants
That's all true, but ultimately the FA market will decide what he's worth. I'm thinking he gets around $10M a year. Even though everyone has gotten used to saying RBs are a dime a dozen, it isn't really true for good backs. He may not be elite, but he's better than most of the starters int he league I'd wager.

He wants a massive contract and we just drafted a RB with promise
It makes no sense. His own team who sees him day in and out doesn't think he's worth what he wants
Chargers management has been notoriously inept throughout history though. They should probably pay him unless they're ok with closing their window right now.

He's been commenting on several players/teams. He has a lot of time to kill right now.

I think Eli is going to have to ride it out. Not sure any real suitor could absorb the cap hit this time of year.

NJ giving Miami a run for their money right now. If Darnold stays hurt, I think Fitzy gets them a W

it's a tough call, he did one of those side hits where you try to lead with your shoulder by you really lead with the side of your head, because that's how the human body works. It's bad form and I hate that style of tackle. Unfortunately, Latimer braced for the tackle by leading with the side of his head too. There didn't seem to be any malice in it, just bad technique by two players at the same time.

When he realizes he's getting pressured, he's pretty damn good. He seems to find himself in too many situations though where he loses his pocket presence.

Lol who would want him? Alabama quarterbacks aren’t exactly NFL successful. He won’t be the #1 pick
Tua probably deserves to be a 5th round pick based on how he'll do in the pros, but he'll get all the Kyler Murray hype and some team will draft him (likely Phins) at the top of the first.

Reductio ad absudum. And, to address your hypothetical, the purchase of services such as those in question from an intermediary are much more directly supporting something that has a much more direct link with human trafficking.
At bottom you and I have a difference of opinion that is grounded in our varying morals and values.
I don't doubt that we have a different set of morals and how we apply them to ethics but that's not what's at play here. The Author, the OP, and by extension you, seem to be willing to place blame for a crime on customers of a service of which it's highly likely that they have no direct knowledge of. Now if you were to tell me that they were aware of the circumstances, or even sought out such circumstances, ala Epstein, that would be a different matter entirely. I see no evidence presented in this article to even indicate that was remotely the case.
What I see is a woman with a drug problem and a pimp that enabled it and then leveraged it. Pretty classic story here. This isn't about a girl kidnapped from a small mid-west town and sold on an underground chinese black-market.
My statement about coffee and chocolate hardly seems absurd to me. If you really want to look into where the things you buy come from: clothes, electronics, textiles, etc let alone more dubious products and services like drugs and sex, you could draw a lot of lines from decent upstanding people who pay their taxes, love their family and support their community, to international crime, human trafficking and defacto or even literal slavery.-

Eli had 2 remarkable post season runs in which his team took down Brady (which IMO gets him in the HOF eventually). Other than that he career as widely been meh. You and @ScottLaw speak of him as if he is a first ballot guy. Its gonna take him many years after eligibility to get in. You'll see.
He's absolutely going to be top-bill on the first ballot.

Huh???? I am not in agreement with that assessment.....at all.
You might be standing alone there. Eli is as good as most of the QBs in the hall and is a 2 time SB MVP and Champion. He's playing at an fortunate time where we've probably watched the #1,#2,#3 QBs of all time play in the league simultaneously

See the prior post. Those who paid for her services supported human trafficking.
And so do people who drink coffee or eat chocolate. This is nonsense.
There's no reason to exaggerate the point here. Bills players involved in prostitution, ok sure. Bills players involved in human trafficking, yea not unless OJ found a new hobby.-

He went from getting 3rd string reps in preseason....to starting the second half of Game 1 last year. For someone who was clueless about alot of things early on, he looked pretty decent because he is very instinctive. To me, Josh is boom or bust. I don't see him being a middle of the pack type QB.
See I see that as his most likely destination. Bust QBs tend to not play games like he did last week. I don't think he has the tools to be a top guy, but if he keeps getting better he can be the kind of guy that you can win with. He'll win games for you like he did last week and he'll lose games for you too, but I don't see him ever doing the kinds of things Brady, Brees, Mahomes or even Watson (in a valiant losing effort) did last week. He might be able to be the version of Rivers that actually gets it done though.

I think Manning makes it twice, once as a colt and once as a bronco.I think he had two hall of fame careers and no one even noticed.

Human trafficking is a big deal. The pegulas will not tolerate this nonsense, and I deeply respect them for it. Whoever is involved in this is gone. As they well should be.
This isn't human trafficking. It's prostitution.
2 minutes ago, matter2003 said:Why is the title of this thread as if its been proven there were Sabres and Bills players involved in this? No offense, but with no evidence other than the word of an admitted crackhead thats almost worse than having no evidence...
I'd take this with the largest grain of salt ever made
Saying they were "involved" seems to imply they were involved in keeping her a prostitute, but what she claims is that they were clients. Big big difference there which makes for a misleading article and post by the OP

He's never been very good to begin with. 3 winning seasons in 8 years and this one looks like another stinker too. He's always been capable of huge games, but he's often had suspect decision making and an unreal ability to throw a terrible ball at the worst possible times.

Shouldn't week 1 count as time served?

Ruled him out 5 days before the game? I'm not a doctor, can Mono be that bad?
I had mono as a teenager, and it essentially made me sleep 16 hours a day.

I stumbled upon 538's bizarre quarterback graph. They think Allen is the 2nd best QB in the division being slightly below average. There are some other, interesting tidbits in there.
You have to look into their methodology to see where/why this happens. This is all data driven:
Performance is measured according to “VALUE,” a regression between ESPN’s Total QBR yards above replacement and basic box score numbers (including rushing stats) from a given game, adjusted for the quality of opposing defenses.- The formula for VALUE is: -2.2 * Pass Attempts + 3.7 * Completions + (Passing Yards / 5) + 11.3 * Passing TDs – 14.1 * Interceptions – 8 * Times Sacked – 1.1 * Rush Attempts + 0.6 * Rushing Yards + 15.9 * Rushing TDs.3

Yea, I dunno. I mean I hate the pats, but I do spend an awful lot of time wishing I was born in Boston, so I could be one of those obnoxious fans with every world championship.

Buffalo Bills to fans on game day: Behave or be gone
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
The NFL has ruined the sport so much by the need to make it appealing to casual fans who used to just watch the Super Bowl. It's like the late 90's where MLB started juicing the ball so that every child and adult in America and maybe even abroad knew who McGuire, Sosa, and Bonds are. Mediocre QBs are laying down 4k yard campaigns and 5k yardsa re being hit with ease by multiple players a year.
Having a slot receiver with the grit to go over the middle and catch a ball in traffic is no longer a valued skill. Having a hard hitting safety who can jar balls or take said receivers out of the game is no longer a valued skill, there are no longer pass rushers who strike fear into QBs, because the QBs have nothing to fear. By turning the game into FlagFootball+, adding insane things to the review process, and making the game about everything besides the game they've watered down the accomplishments in my opinion. I just don't think it's as impressive to win a SB today as it used to be, and generally i don't think fans care as much either. By the time March rolls around everyone has already forgotten.
I'd definitely be excited for a win, don't get me wrong. It just wouldn't be as important to me as it was, and that's all on the NFL.
