About freaking time! PVR locked and loaded!

I'd often be referred to as a bleeding heart liberal, though that would not be 100% accurate. However, I cannot see any logic to the concern in this matter. This is just ridiculous. McNair used improper wording, but his intent was surely not racist. Just a simple common phrase. Yes, it was ill-timed, but blown so far out of proportion.

Much ado about nothing. Fins still Fins.

Prejudice? No. The question I posed was in relation to those that cannot see the inequality and injustice that he is protesting against. I happen to fall into the white, heterosexual male category but I see the issue clearly. I travel with a good friend who is African-American. It's a running joke that he's going to get "randomly selected " for a search at the airport. 100% of the time he does. Not a word of a lie. He has been ticketed twice for jay walking. Jay walking!! He was pulled out of his car and cuffed last year when he was caught going 12 mph over the limit. The guy owns his own business, is s model citizen, is as friendly a himan as you will ever know and is completely treated this way because of the color of his skin. I believe protesting that snd drawing attention to that is very important.So if someone disagrees with Kaepernick you are assuming they are heterosexual white male...the hypocrisy in this comment is stunning, no prejudice with you at all is there.

Thoughts and prayers to the Thomas family. May God grant them the strength to see the light through this dark time.

Page 1 and the thread should have ended here. For those thinking he "disrespected the anthem and the flag", do you value a song more than the people it represents? This is my major issue with the "anti-Kaepernick" and anti-anthem kneeling crowd. What do the song and the nation for which it was written really mean if the people are subjected to the discrimination that they are subjected to in this nation every day? I've got to assume you are a white heterosexual male if you don't see it.If they act like adults, the first question from the NFL is, "What can we do, together and collectively and appropriately, do to support the cause of civil rights, social equity, and social equality that does not include kneeling during the anthem."
And Kaep should say "Open you wallets, start investing more in the cities you extract profit from. When you've taken billions in direct tax dollars to build stadiums and then used those stadiums to further extract profit from the region, you should think about using a small amount of that to support the people who root for us and support this league."
Sensible people from this starting point can work toward a mutually agreeable solution that a) avoids turning what is not an "anthem protest" (no one is protesting the anthem, stop it) into a continual hot button issue that sadly continually included the doophus at 1200 Pennsylvania Ave and b) gets the NFL and its players a place and platform to actually develop programs and contribute, and c) gets Kaep a place to air his point, make amends with the league, and get a job back.

Well played good sir, well played. 🍺That must have included ATM transactions.

Believe it or not, people on the BBMB were ready to set OBD on fire for not hiring Hue Jackson.
I tell you a surprise firing. Tennessee canning Mularkey for not making playoffs and hiring McDaniels. Jon Robinson is the GM of the Titans and him and McD are close.
Talk about the perfect marriage? McD+Mariota=scary.
Not that big of a surprise there. Tennessee looked to be on the fast track to success....then the injury bug hit and they started to look straight out-coached in every game. Mularkey is a perfect fall guy.
As for McDaniels, Tenn would seemingly be the type of opportunity he has been holding out for. The talent is there and they should have good draft position to improve upon it further. Good connection of the dots.

Someone needs to find him. He was a fantastic troll. Troll Hall of Famer really.Shades of crayonz

I was at the Game in Seattle last year and it was so nice to see a good, standard rowdy crew of drunk Bills fans/tailgaters that weren't body slamming or trashing tables or jumping through fire. It's ridiculous! My friends who aren't Bills fans just laugh at me. More than one have asked "how are those your people?" They aren't! They happen to cheer for the team I do, but they make a mockery out of us all.
It needs to end. People are getting hurt and it's just getting worse.

I too am tired of winning! Now I sleep well on Sunday nights and enjoy time with my family all week long! My friends and colleagues actually want to talk about the Bills! I save money on Sunday night Rum and Cokes formerly purchased to drown my sorrows! I want the solitary, miserly me back!

9 years on the board as VanCity. My log-in stopped working one day. Couldn't ever receive the e-mail to have it updated. Had to press reset. Sad day, but I kinda like my new screen name better. Cheers!Rather mature sage move for someone at your age.
Kudos and thank you for the gentle redirect

I get it, but take it to PPP. Let's just leave the discussion to actual football here.Good, one less a-hole to kneel during the anthem.

DT was a relative revelation in the passing game yesterday and made Clay so expendable. This regime loves to tinker and, based on the results, their tinkering is a very, very good thing for us fans. The weeks up to the trade deadline are going to be interesting in these parts.

6:42am in Sydney, Australia and I woke up early to watch this?!!!

I generally like the 25 yards, but sometimes you need a spark. I'll accept the 24.

Just plain bad. Second half d needs to wake up! DL is horrific

Whole lotta ugh

Bend, don't break?

Same story every game this year. Rico is cluelessNeed to develop a semblance of a vertical game. Too short and medium focused

Well, that "drive " sucked.

I'm with Alphadawg. I love the city of Buffalo, and it is where my greatest football memories lie, but I'm not from Buffalo. I go to Buffalo for the games and the tailgating. I would be immensely disappointed if the team moved, as I feel as though we are as good a fanbase as exists in pro sports, but I know that I would follow them and wear my JK, Biscuit or Bruce jersey to wherever they played. Let us all hope this never occurs!
Dareus traded to Jacksonville!

Sitting poolside in our rented villa in Ubud, Bali. Yes, I am rubbing it in. Saw the news early this morning our time. Wanted to enjoy the tranquility of this place for a while longer before I read this thread.
After reading your opinions and arriving at my own, I'm with those that believe that MD was an even bigger locker room issue than we were led to think. You don't just salary dump as space-eating, run-stuffing DT who was picked 4th overall for a 6th rounder without valid justification. I think he was a princess and wouldn't buy into the last two systems and that showed each time he stepped on the field. I expect him to play his hardest in Jax though, so others will undoubtedly throw that at the "good riddance" crowd. Problem is that he hasn't done it in 4 seasons in Buffalo.
Never react to a poster with"69" in his screen name and that guy has two of them.
