  1. It doesn’t have to be the standard for confirmation, but it can be the public’s standard when considering the claim. Which is something the President should understand, no?
  2. I totally accept that and have read some of the inconsistencies in this thread. My point was that a lot of people would simply form an opinion based on the testimony from last week. And the display by the President last night was unacceptable, especially considering many victims may identify with Ford. He was mocking her like and playing it up for the crowd, have a look. I just don’t see how people support this man.
  3. I try to be honest in my conversations, and I try to see other’s point of views. No, I think you raise a good point, cheers.
  4. Having been a glancing spectator to this event, mostly the testimony from last week, I’d say I found Ford to be more believable. I would imagine a lot of people might have the same opinion as me, and some may be survivors of sexual assaults themselves. Which makes the mockery of Ford by Trump last night very disgusting.
  5. I saw this tweet and it kind of irked me. Because we all know the line and WRs suck and should be replaced, but Allen is supposed to be the building block and he is making high school QB mistakes.
  6. Well I obviously disagree. Having hard working, team oriented guys is important, but not as important as strategic planning. You can have all the good culture you want but if you are valuing it more than strategy, I think you are doomed. Strategy allows a business to respond to markets, or a team to respond to shifting dynamics within the league (in this case). If a business fails to strategize and respond to market changes, no amount of good culture will save it. Whereas, a business with poor culture can maintain success if they are aligned with market demands through strategic planning.
  7. Culture and strategy are not mutually exclusive, you can have both. But to say culture is more important is mind numbing, just a moronic thing to say.
  8. Which completely explains how we ended up with Allen over Rosen...this culture and process BS is wearing thin with me.
  9. I think trading for a WR is the only option that is feasible. I was listening to a segment on WGR the other day and they discussed the available free agent WRs for next year and the biggest name on the list was Kelvin Benjamin (lol). And it was also discussed that WR tends to be a position that takes a long time for the drafted player to get up to speed and be useful. If Allen is going to be successful, the Bills can't wait another 2-3 years for a decent WR corps, so trading seems to be the only option.
  10. I go to games for the tailgate experience as much as the football, and with how bad this team has been for decades I doubt I’m the only one. I would be sure this ship is turned in the right direction before embarking on a downtown stadium, I think if the product is still poor and the tailgating becomes disjointed like in other cities (bars hosting events where you can’t mingle), it may hurt attendance. I prefer renovating New Era.
  11. I’m analyzing Allen, not his opponents. My point was that he looks the same as last year, and the year before that. This game and his performance are eerily similar to a lot of tape from Wyoming. The big knocks on Allen are his accuracy and football IQ. While I credit him with showing some improved accuracy on the short stuff in Minny, I think the scheme helped him. Everything reverted back to his baseline when he was unable to read the D in Green Bay, accuracy was brutal and he looked lost/overwhelmed. That being said, I’m biased. I read a ton about him and watched as much analysis of his film as I could find and wanted nothing to do with him, had him ranked behind Jackson, lol.
  12. One thing I found funny was the guy with the horn outside the stadium. He was playing the “go pack go” song after the game but as I walked by he changed it up to the “whaaaan waaaa”. We all got a good kick out of it.
  13. What was your criteria for a blow out? Did you count the Chargers game from this year? It was an absolute blow out but the final score doesn’t reflect that.
  14. I see your point, but I also accept that others aren’t able to self regulate as easily.
  15. So you aren’t emotionally invested in the Bills whatsoever? Despite spending thousands of hours on here and BBMB...
  16. Yeah, I’m pretty cheesed about the entire situation. (Pardon the pun, it’s the only good thing I got from my trip to Green Bay)
  17. It's the narrative that a lot of fans are taking, that the poor play by Allen is entirely due to the bad line and bad WRs. But watching the all-22 you can see that Allen is just as much of a contributor to the poor showing as everybody else.
  18. If you switched the uniforms you’d swear this game film was from any year Allen played at Wyoming, it’s the same scenario; bad line, bad WRs and a bad QB. I need to stop watching and reading analysis of Allen, it’s too depressing to think about, especially when you consider McD and Beane’s future are most likely tied to this kid.
  19. I picked this team to go 2-14, as it was pretty apparent that the stripped down roster has very little talent, so I’m not shocked at the poor showing on the field. My main thought is that “the process” looks flawed and poorly planned. Why draft a raw QB and put him in a situation like this? A system that doesn’t help him, a team that doesn’t help him, and put him in there... And the focus on the defensive side of the ball is also perplexing. This is a scoring league, yet this team seems to think building a good D is more important than building a solid O. Look at the signings, money was spent on the D at the expense of helping the franchise QB. And it also doesn’t help that the signings were awful...Star doesn’t even play half the game, Murphy gets little pressure and Davis quit.
  20. We all know the issues Allen has to work through, but criticizing his inaccurate throws and inability to read a defence are fair game. What happened to the progress we were sold after his time with Palmer? Allen was missing throws by 5-10 feet early on. And being under pressure is tough, no doubt, but making the decision to throw it up on the run, across the field is laughable, it shouldn’t happen at this level. We all hope things change, but 1/4 of the season is over and Allen looks like some of the draft grades advertised, a 3rd round project. It’s not really the kids fault. Beane reached on a project and had no plan to help the young man progress.
  21. Had a great time at Lambeau, very nice stadium, fans were welcoming. As for the game, it was an embarrassment. Allen was brutal, which is where the focus is. But I also think Edmunds struggled mightily too....again.
  22. I was on that flight, tons of Bills fans.
  23. Pregame meet up sounds great, see you all there. Go Bills!
