    A kick, knee, slap in the head to you or me might not be a big deal. When a football player has a history of concussions that history can't be ignored.

    Kind of missing the point of people directly tying this last concussion to his history, as if it should have been a warning sign that he was going to get KICKED IN THE HEAD.

     

    If John Doe has a history of knee injuries, and some random mugger happens to club him in the knee during a robbery, the response isn't "well we should have known he'd get his knee injured, he does have a history after all".  That's my point.  It was a fluke.

     

    *edit*

    Unless you mean to imply that the kick to his head was of a specific intensity, one that wouldn't injure someone without previous concussions, but would injure someone with a history of them?  Cuz that's not really how concussions work.

    But, it was, right? Concussion issues were something that you had to consider when signing him.  Too, I think, it's the importance we all placed on Morse being able to help guide Allen in year two.  TE is nice. Center is more critical.

    You can't have a worrying "history" of getting kicked in the head.  That's something you have to chalk up to bad luck, the same as if someone with a history of knee injuries gets hit with an illegal chop block or someone falls sideways on their leg.  That has a high chance of injuring them regardless of their history.

    “You’re not a true fan if you criticize the Bills.”

    I belong to a Bills Facebook group where many members scolded other for posting previous comments about how bad the Bills were playing.  LOL.  To some Bills fans any criticism is off base.  I don’t agree with that 

    How about the opposite?  There was a definite gang of people going "You're an idiot if you don't agree the sky is falling and we should fire everyone" when the Giants scored that opening TD.

    Beane has said that he knowingly took a chance on some players with suspect physical pasts.  If the team were in a bad cap position I might give a *****, but, as is why should I?

     

    Who did you want him to pick up at the position?

    I get the feeling the OP would complain about only winning on 3 out of 4 lottery tickets.  As you said we had the cap space, and already revamped the rest of the offense, so gambling on Kroft was actually not a bad idea.

    No GM hits on every player.  This is a injury that has nothing to do with his past one.  I mean we are all concerned but you got to know there’s risk in every free agent.

    It's like when people were freaking out about Morse being injury prone and missing preseason after getting freaking kneed in the head.  That wasn't his "injury history".

    Budget.  We all spend money when taking in a game.  I do all my eating at the tailgate so I don't have to spend $15 on a hot dog and a soda inside.  If you know you need $20 worth of water during the game, then plan for it.  It's not like you don't know when the games are.

    Call me crazy but the words "$20 worth" and "water" should never have to be in the same sentence in the context of a single afternoon. CFL stadiums have bottle filling stations, I'm sure they can figure it out for New Era.  Just because you're fine with ridiculous policies, doesn't mean I should just have to "budget for it".  I don't care if it's a difference of pennies out of pocket, BS is BS.

    I wasn't picking you out in particular, though it may have seemed like that. And I would have GLADLY provided the link, had I found one.  Not sure how any of that can be considered "snowflake" in any way whatsoever.

     

    Just a courtesy I always try to extend, not only for the OP,  but also to us innocent bystanders who happened upon the scene. So far, many have commented this was a topic already being discussed. If there is, I haven't found it.

    Yeah I didn't see THIS topic being discussed.  Noticed there is a bit of a double standard on who gets given crap for topics that have even a tertiary relation to something else being discussed.

    Please stay hydrated out there. This is a major liability for the Bills, law suit has to be coming. 

    Yeah my dad gets faint-y when dehydrated, and I have nerve issues that can be aggravated by dehydration (I'm on crutches at games), so I get a bit irked when people on here say "boo hoo, if you can't go 4 hours on a hot day in direct sunlight without water, stay home cuz you're not man enough".  Sorry for being on a budget and not wanting to spend $4-5 on a bottle of water after having to drop $30 for handicapped parking and $10 for an "approved bag".  Gotta make do with hobbling to guest services at halftime for a Dixie cup of water to take my meds.

    Head towards Rochester and look for a Bill Gray's or Tom Wahl's. Both have many locations with versions of the plate. But you should try Nick Tauhou's someday to make your own comparison. 

    I looked up Bill Grays earlier in Google Maps, and there were two closer to me!  Just..."permanently closed".  Uhhh sure thanks Google, so helpful.

    About 60 miles east.  I always thought the garbage plates were a Rochester specialty.  WNY was known for Texas Hots (scum dogs).

    After some research it seems the closest place to me that serves something close enough to a "true" garbage plate is Greek To Me, about 55 minutes from me and the opposite direction of where I'm headed.  Found an article about Buffalo's options and most of them were basically bastardized poutines. 

     

    Guess I'll have to make the trip to Rochester some day.  I'm interested though to hear more about this supposed controversy of Nick's being the "original" but not one of the best.  Like Duffs I guess?

    It's my understanding that bottled water IS actually allowed, but I believe one per person and the bottle MUST be sealed..

     

    That's how it was in Carolina, and as far as I know, these rules are uniform at all NFL stadiums.

     

    If not, so what.. you throw away a 10 cent bottle of water if they don't let it in. The biggest thing is make sure her bag is allowed. It's stupid what they won't allow anymore. The absolute worst thing is to get all the way to the front to find out she can't bring her bag in. They're pretty strict on it too.

    I'm guessing you haven't been to a Bills game lately.  They absolutely still took our bottles on hot days, with the exception of that one exceptionally hot day I think last year where they suspended the rule for the day to avoid lawsuits.  

     

    You may also notice that Carolina is a lot further south and warmer than Buffalo.

     

    *edit*

    Oh and they allow purses but not fanny packs.  Because the functional difference is...?  I nagged them to let me in on that point because I was on crutches with my meds in the pack, and wasn't going to stand in line for an hour at the shop to spend $10 for a bag I'd have to carry while I'm on crutches.  Next game I go to I'm literally going to borrow a purse from my sister and dare them to not let me bring it in.  Don't care if I look dumb it'll be a fun talking point about their ridiculous policies.

    Well I hope you ignored it.  There is nothing racial about that word at all.  Antonio Brown is a thug, just like Jimmy Spagnola is a thug.

    That's exactly what I said and doubled down, even quoted the dictionary definition of thug to them.  The original implication of being racist was someone posting some SJW article to me about "historical racist implications of the word" or something to that effect.

    There is 9 mill that they owe him and they can challenge that, but it will be decided by a neutral arbritrator. Look, they were complete morons to sign him to guaranteed money in the 1st place. 

    They knew who AB was when they signed him, and gambled that things would stay under wraps.  They lost the gamble and should have to live with the consequences and cap hit.

     

    The casino doesn't give you a refund if your bet doesn't pay out.

    I don't see what NE has to lose by cutting ties with this thug.  Actually, I can only see it as a positive for them.  This dude is the scum of the earth.  And I don't want to hear any CTE bull####, either.  He's just a scummy, criminal thug.

    Whoa be careful, I already got called racist for calling AB "The T Word".

    Report: Antonio Brown harasses latest accuser via text message

     

    https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/09/20/report-antonio-brown-harasses-latest-accuser-via-text-message/

     

     

    "Antonio Brown may have crossed the line, as far as the NFL and the Patriots are concerned.

    Robert Klemko of SI.com reports that Brown has sent harassing text messages to the unnamed accuser who shared allegations with Klemko regarding Brown’s behavior after Brown hired her to paint a mural at his house."

    Yeah I was waiting for someone to post this.  "It's ok, I won't get caught cuz I won't use my current phone number.  They won't have a clue it's me.  It's a genius plan, I'm a genius."

    Hot damn... this is a gift.. truly.

     

    did you guys see Darnolds fever going up each and every post from that SAR guy? Also, did you know Darnold would have beaten us easily if he hadn’t been playing with a 660kelvin fever. 

    I literally created an account on their forum just to point that out.  He also added the enlarged spleen part after the game time fever retroactively raised from 102 to 104 degrees.  That is amazing for him to play through that, since that is considered a "high grade fever" that normally requires hospitalization.  I guess their team doctors need to have their licenses revoked for letting him play with a debilitating illness.

  15. I love how that SAR idiot responds to every valid anti-Jets or pro-Bills point with...

    A.  Irrelevant nonsense about the Yankees winning the division, because Bills fans can't like the Yanks apparently.  Geographic proximity to a good team in a different sport grants the Jets greatness by association. 

    B.  Irrelevant nonsense about him being allegedly rich and Bills fans being poor.

    C.  Baseless blanket statements about Allen being a bust and Darnold being great.

    D.  Excuses about Mosley being injured, as if the Jets are the only team in the league with an injured player.

    E.  Childish insults and avoiding the point.

     

    Then there's his crony piping up to praise him for being "the voice of reason, as always" and saying he's been right about everything, ever.

     

    At least there's the odd Jets fan on there calling him out for being a delusional homer.

  16. Cindy only has the #2 passing O by virtue of being #2 in passing attempts, and at the expense of having the #32 rushing O.  Their passing totals and mediocre 7.8 per attempt are also inflated by a 66 yard TD, which I don't think they will make a habit of against us.  They also have one of the lowest 1st down rates on passes for any of the teams with 400 total passing yards.  Also a lot of sacks allowed.

     

    TL;DR Their O ain't that hot. 

     

    We're overall better on both offense and defense.  I can see why 90% would pick us to win.
