SoCal Deek

I worked on a weekly basis with State agencies for nearly 40 years. I routinely got frustrated that they always had their foot on the brake pedal while everyone around them had theirs’ on the gas. Until one day, an ex-State employee, then working for me, explained to me that they aren’t trying to move anything along. There’s no incentive to move things along. They’re actively trying to slow things down. It’s called job security in a governmental office. I slept much better for the years after that. Words to live by and remember!

No I will not. His comment is completely unacceptable. Unbelievable!

Ouch….you have to be kidding with the unattractive comment, right? Really Classy

Why is that old man always so damn angry? Stop yelling at the country!

I find it sad that these lists always read like a virtual graveyard of underperforming, already cut, or soon to be cut, previous top (or near top) draft picks. Edmunds Oliver Singletary Moss Ford Lawson Epenesa Zay Jones Basham We've really got to start hitting on more of these top picks.

Let me guess…all of that financial gymnastics is just to sign Zach Ertz? Seems like a ton of work. 😉

You crack me up!

Underscore MILDLY.

The stock market has been going up and down about every other day for months and months now with no significant movement in either direction.

Tibs can try and spin this any way he wants but the American people are not happy. I will definitely not be watching the spin machine try and tell me otherwise tonight.

Let me see if I understand this. Women stood up and applauded while a man, dressed as a woman, received an award that until recently would’ve been reserved for an actual woman? How is this evolutionary? It sounds more like when they used to put makeup on white actors to portray Native Americans. No?

It all depends on whether the team is still ‘exhausted’ come September.

Like most things, this too isn’t complicated. Before Brady they’re a decent but floundering franchise….nothing special or feared. Then, with Tom Brady as their quarterback they’re in, or winning, championships. And finally when Brady leaves, they’re right back to nothing special or feared…again. Period!

So you’re saying we’ll see you back here on Labor Day? Excellent! Go Bills

Is there even a debate? The Bills need to rebuild the entire interior of the offensive line…now…and through the Draft. They cannot afford ($) anything else and that one move makes both the running and passing game better.

All good out here in Southern California…we had a 4.6 about a week ago. Maybe it just made it over to WNY now.

Is that sarcasm? I sure hope so.

He went from Big Game Gabe to Big Drop Davis in one year.

We differ a bit. Josh had open options underneath, ant least against the Bengals anyway, including on the final interception of the game. He simply wasn’t taking them, or waiting too long to go to them, or in the case of the final drive of the first half, which would’ve kept us in the game, threw the ball badly over a wide open Singletary’s head thus killing the drive, and our chances. I’m not really sure why.

There’s nothing healthy about being a Bills fan at our age Augie. 😉

Really appreciate the work that goes into these mocks. This one scares me to death! Whenever I review a Mock the first thing I do is look at the players taken immediately following the Bills. In other words who did we pass up. This mock has the Bengals and Chiefs taking a TE and WR right behind us. Why do I think both of their picks will be around for years, while I’ll be reading the ‘we could’ve had…’ threads about our guy come playoff time.

I’ll have my usual tons of enthusiasm…. and literally ZERO expectations.

All very true. So the question is if we all know that, why don’t the Bills coaches? The performance against the Bengals was unworthy on all levels. When a player has a sub par game, it’s clear someone had a bad day, or is injured…it happens. When EVERYONE underperforms, I blame the coaches.

With all due respect, I believe you’re missing the point. The idea isn’t to go into the huddle with the intent of checking the ball down. The idea is for the QB to scan the field, and take the open receivers. Move the chains, and keep the drive moving. Josh failed to do that time and time again…which by the way exposes the weakness of the O Line, causing them to block longer than they have the skill set to do.

A football game is not like running a marathon. You’re not out there on the open road all alone, with just you and your distracted mind. Who the heck is supposed to talking to, or yelling at, Josh DURING the game? Someone is supposed to be telling him that guys are open EVERYWHERE underneath if he’d just take the easy completion and move the darn chains. That was clearly the case against the Bengals but either nobody was telling him, or he simply wasn’t listening. Either way…it’s not good!
