SoCal Deek

Only during Bills games but that’s been caused by repeated blunt force.

When I was kid we had mandatory drills where we went into the hallway and covered our heads with our butts in the air, preparing for a nuclear bomb to hit the playground! And as you’all know I turned out just fine.

This is nothing to celebrate on ANY level.

You ever play the game where you imagine that there’s nothing behind you but pure darkness and void? No matter how fast you turn around you still can’t see that there’s nothing there. This entire topic is very much like that. Sheer nonsense.

The very concept is ludicrous on every level. Being a man or a woman is NOT a state of mind or emotional construct. It’s a physical reality! Speaking as a man there’s literally no way for me to know what it feels like to be a woman and it’s completely asinine to assume that all women feel the same way. The same goes for how men feel. PERIOD!

2020 was completely different as Trump ran unopposed as the incumbent. I’m not sure what the game plan is with this current Hail Mary of an indictment but I guess we’ll all find out together. My problem is that seems akin to using a hand grenade to kill a housefly. The fly might be gone, but you just blew a hole through your kitchen! 😉

Clear and sunny here today. I’m guessing we’re done with the rainy season going forward. If it’s like most years it won’t rain again here in Southern California until sometime this coming October. (That’s always hard for WNYers to wrap their heads around.) But for now it looks like Ireland around here. Everything is super green. Well it didn’t work out well for the Democrats when they tried this 2016. They were all rooting for Trump in the primaries only to have him defeat The Wicked Witch of the East in the general election.

Crap! Here I had you sipping a tall one on a beach somewhere. 😎

Are these stats actually true? If so, banning these weapons is the very definition of a poster child for a political talking point.

Interesting thought but I was under the impression that if the case is successful that a convicted felon cannot run for President. No? So you’re saying Trump clearly wins the case and by doing so is catapulted into the front runner position? That’s some three dimensional chess alright.

Hey Tibs! Hope you’re doing well. Seems like you’ve been missing for a few days. Hopefully on an exotic vacation somewhere. 👍

My takeaway is completely the opposite Hawk. If anything it shows utterly stupid the labyrinth of so-called laws we’ve created for ourselves in this country. If THIS particular occurrence could get someone charged with a felony then we’ve got REAL problems. Maybe in his second term Trump can focus on cleaning up the junk drawer that we call campaign law. 😉

While I share the sentiment, I think it’s a bit too easy for all of us to simply write off that game in its entirety. I was incredibly frustrated by the offensive game plan all afternoon long. At SOME POINT you have to work through it. Change what you’re doing, move the ball, and move the chains.

While I can agree with you to a point, I have to wonder then where the Bills vaunted injury-free offense disappeared to against the Bengals.

Nobody sees how absolutely absurd this sort of prosecution is? You indict someone for making a payment of hush money of an alleged affair that pretty much NOBODY remained hush about? If anything it just shows how stupid Trump was for thinking it would be hushed. The opposition should be thanking him for wasting money that could better have been spent on a TV advertisement or campaign posters. 😂

I’m glad I’m not a college scout. I didn’t watch the entirety of either video clip but for what I saw there was a whole lot of standing around and some rather pedestrian being ‘around the ball carrier’ in a whole lot of plays.

I couldn’t agree more. The Bills defense has been built around speed at every level. Play soft and then pursue the ball. Unfortunately that strategy fails big time if tackling takes a nose dive…which for some reason (maybe injuries) it did last season. Way too many whiffs in the open field by Milano, Poyer, Edmunds and a host of cornerbacks.

Obviously: Dee Fensive Lineman C. Orner-Back Write it down!

The Colts were the best parallel I could find. I honestly can’t recall what if anything changed to get them past and over the Patriots with Brady back then…but you have to admit this looks an awful lot like the present Bills and the Chiefs with Mahomes. Maybe nothing changed. Maybe Manning just finally broke through. I hope Josh is talking with Peyton over this summer.

Let me write that one down.

We’ve turned a corner now. Unbelievable. Bring it on!

Thanks The two teams are obviously not the same but they’re eerily similar. The original OP was based on how we as fans should think of the Bills. Not being a Colts fan I’m not sure I can say how they felt when they kept getting to a point only to lose to the Patriots year after year…but they did finally get over that hurdle, and they didn’t do it by tearing the team apart and starting over. One thing the Colts had was their infamous triplets of Manning, Harrison, and James at RB. I’m praying the Bills can find a running game to pair with Allen and Diggs. Go Bills

Did you look at my historical summary of the Colts run under Manning? It’s amazingly similar to the current Bills. They swooned one time in that run (maybe two) but ‘down’ years? Not really.

By the way…in those years the Colts coach was Tony Dungy. He was widely considered to be an ‘high character’ guy. Anybody seeing the many similarities here?

Interesting comment and I’ve seen this before. What are your thoughts on the long term evolution of the Bills defensive alignment (and the NFL as a whole). Will McD stick with two LBs or start moving to the more traditional 4-3?
