I don't think he'll ever stop completely. It's just part of that "hero ball" mentality that will always be there. And it's either going to make him great or terrible. Let's just hope we see, at most, 1 or 2 a season.

Why didn't Wade play? We hiding him to stash him? I want to see Duke Williams remain in a Bills uniform, and I don't think he clears wavers.

The Widow on Amazon Prime is pretty good. Interesting setting in the DRC. Kate Beckinsale's still hot. I know The Boys will be good. Planning on watching that soon. Don't think my wife will like that so watching it on my own. Couple episodes into the last season of Jessica Jones. Decent. Definitely want to get into Mindhunter. Trying to get the wife to watch it with me. We both loved Criminal Minds... any similarities? I know the pacing is slower, but just curious. My father in law said he's a couple seasons into The Expanse and he really likes that. Anyone watch it?

Says the guy who probably voted for the alcoholic W.

Yeah, that 17 second YouTube video of a guy being silly and doing nothing scandalous at all is really going to hurt him...

Except he still won the popular vote.

Good is relative. Do you think Trump's economy is good? This is more that Trump has Obama to thank for an economy that had been trending in the right direction for a substantial period of time--like more than 6 years--before Trump took office and started bragging the economy has only been good for the last 2 1/2 years. What a dumbass. EDIT: I'm calling Trump a dumbass, not you... just to clarify

What the hell are you even talking about? Clinton was consistently well over 50% in his job approval ratings.

You living in 2015? "We have a moron for a President." There wasn't even the opportunity to rhetorically play around with that in the context of what I said. You're better than that. The Obama Administration literally stopped a speeding freighttrain going the wrong direction in the form of our economy thanks to previous administrations in his first term and did so in 10 months, after which point we haven't seen a single month of job losses. Here, might be easier visually for you to see that Trump is really just a continuation of Obama

Yes. Let's instead cry from the mountaintops over here that Biden doesn't stand a chance and Trump is obviously going to be reelected despite the fact that he's NEVER had the majority of the country behind him and largely has a weaker than expected democratic turnout combined with the element of the unknown to thank for his 2016 victory. Let's ignore the sideshow circus that the majority of the country sees his Administration as. Yeah, let's ignore everything. Polls don't matter. Approval ratings don't matter. Nothing matters. The only thing that matters is that "they" are wrong and "we" are right. That last thing is the one thing that Trump has amplified in this country, and unbeknownst to him--and the vast majority of you in this forum, apparently--that's what's likely going to be his downfall. Jesus, I wonder what this place will look like the day after the 2020 election with Biden winning. You guys gonna be here making excuses? You gonna be consoling yourselves? Or will it just be crickets over here?

Yes. Trump inherited a good economy and has been riding the coattails off Obama's economy. Plenty of people still have to work 2 jobs even in the Trump economy, where the wealth gap is growing. And while Obama had to stimulate our economy to pull us out of the Great Recession, Trump stimulated the economy (basically for a year) with an ill-conceived tax cut where the wealthiest reaped the rewards. And now Trump is talking about a payroll tax because the jackass cares more about being reelected than the longterm economic health of this country. The guy is such a moron. We have a moron for a President. Luckily we can/will get him out of office in a year or so.

I really wonder at what point posters like @Deranged Rhino are going to acknowledge they were wrong about Biden and that he is, in fact, the most likely Democratic candidate... (and thus, our most likely next President )

My bad. Math was never my strong suit. Once I go above 10 I'm off the map. But I can count to 5

A few long passes? Less than 5 games? Jesus. Foster played the first 4 games last season, was cut and put on the PS, then came back for the last 8. Thus, he played in 14 games. You can agree to disagree opinion-wise as to his value, but you can't make up your own facts that he played in less than 5 games. And if you wanna call the back half of his season, where he came in the last 7 games and caught 25 passes for 511 yards and a couple TDs "a few long passes," then we have very different definitions of "few."

At this point, Zay. Beane has talked up the kid so much, it would be a surprise based on that. Based on his play, not so much. Duke Williams started making his push for Zay's roster spot with last night's performance, though.

In Wade's first 2 plays in an NFL uniform he gained 113 yards and scored a Touchdown. He's making a pretty damn good case for being put on the active roster.

Accuracy Schmaccuracy...

Good stuff. I disagree on your Singletary assessment, though. His numbers weren't great, but I thought it was pretty clear the kid has fantastic vision (I think Tasker mentioned Beane, in scouting him in college, said he had "elite vision") that resulted in extra yards where none should have come. Yeah, when you look at our RBs, it's Wade's numbers that pop out after game 1, but Singletary was the RB who impressed me most. Side note about Wade. There was nothing great in his TD run, though he showed he has speed, but I want to watch Wade get more carries in the upcoming preseason games to see how he runs in traffic. Agree about McKenzie. I think Ray Ray is the odd man out.

Foster is clearly on the team...

Yep. Feels like the team is lighting a fire under his butt again this offseason. Hope he doesn't need too much of it.

Did you read the whole article? I just posted snippets. Can't post the whole article per CoC, otherwise I would.

https://theathletic.com/1125198/2019/08/08/how-the-bills-rallied-behind-robert-foster-when-he-nearly-threw-it-all-away/ It was supposed to be an unremarkable game, a joust between the 2-7 Bills and the 3-6 Jets in Week 10. The teams were on a combined seven-game losing streak and both starting backup quarterbacks. MetLife Stadium had no way of knowing how vital one play — the first play — would be to one young player. Bills rookie wide receiver Robert Foster lined up two yards behind the line of scrimmage, at the 23-yard line opposite Jets cornerback Trumaine Johnson. It was the Bills’ first offensive play of the game and Foster’s first in nearly a month. Hidden in Foster’s stance was nearly a month-and-a-half of frustration mixed with three weeks worth of unbridled motivation. His already lightning-fast speed was super-charged by raw emotion. Johnson didn’t stand a chance. ... “He got the message,” said head coach Sean McDermott. “Not early enough, but he got it eventually which, basically, saved his first year.” ... “(He was) a little bit comfortable because he had Daboll at ‘Bama, so they had the relationship. He thought he knew the offense,” fullback Patrick DiMarco said. “Sometimes young guys now think they have it figured out until they get here.” ... The Texans game was also significant because Josh Allen went down with an elbow injury that would keep him out for a month. The next week of practice was all-hands-on-deck to get Derek Anderson, who had been with the team for all of eight days, up to speed to start on Sunday. After practice that Wednesday, the entire offense worked together to run through the playbook on the field. Every player, from running back LeSean McCoy on down, stayed and worked. They all came together in a huddle at the end of the exercise. Well, most of them. Foster removed himself from the field several minutes before they were done and adjourned to the locker room. He’s known around the organization as a humble person and is liked by his teammates. Something was amiss with the young receiver. A day later, the Bills released Foster and called up wide receiver Cam Phillips from the practice squad. ... It was around that time that Bills players attempted to get through to him. “Shady (McCoy) pulled me aside. Dion Dawkins pulled me aside. Star (Lotulelei),” Foster recalled. “A lot of them was just talking to me, man. Basically, they told me I didn’t do anything, you know what I mean, for me to contribute to the team and to make the best of the opportunities.”

Not if you're referring to my posts. Maybe someone else did, though.

Wow. I really am amazed how entrenched some of you are in this. You say this violent philosophy is not common in Caucasian cultures. What about the KKK? Or Nazi Germany? Or are you only talking modern times and in America? How many subcultures do you think might exist on the Internet? How many forums exist out there where people can bounce ideas--even violent ones--off of others. I don't think it's a coincidence that these mass killings have coincided over the last few decades with the rise of the Internet and Social Media, which can itself be it's own culture. This forum, for example, clearly has it's own culture. And notice that even this forum is largely a sounding board of generally like-minded individuals, politically speaking. Sure, when you get a guy like The_Dude who takes things too far, he gets ousted. But there is something culturally even on this forum--angst, bitterness, derision--that made that poster (Who I've seen posting on regular Bills forums for YEARS and was never ever remotely close to that inflammatory) feel it was acceptable for him to say that. No individual on this forum is responsible for his words. But there's a culture here that rewards those characteristics I mentioned before. I come back because there are definitely those posters here like DerangedRhino, BuffaloGal and others who generally, if not completely avoid falling into that trap. And no, I really don't give a crap if I get called names or get trolled on here. It's an Internet forum and I have a life. However, there are those in our country who view social media and Internet forums as very very important aspects of their lives. And the reasons for that are not as simple as "they're mentally ill." I do. I also acknowledge the small chance I could be wrong in terms of his intentions.
