One doesn’t have to live it to observe it. Im in my 30’s, own a business and as my IRS tax bill would indicate.. do quite well for myself. I don’t know how old you are, but as a millennial, am able to see the struggle and the issues presenting the under 45 crowd. Gen Z is even worse off. Women going further left, men going further right. Not only are they not getting married or having kids, they’re barely even dating. Women blame men. Men blame women. Record levels of apathy. Generations controlled by anti-anxiety & anti-depressant manufacturers. Our cultural icons are Megan Thee Stallion and Taylor Swift. I have no issue with either, but that’s not a culture driven by strong men. Young men aren’t joining the military. And why would they.. they’re told our masculinity is a problem by everyone in our current administration. Our financial standing as a country is nowhere near as strong as you believe. Societal safety nets that we pay into won’t be there for us unless the govt goes further into debt to subsidize something like Social Security. The family unit is being intentionally destroyed through subliminal message by corporations and media. We see what’s happened in much of Europe. Where they’ve relinquished their culture to migrants. And I’m all for immigration of those who assimilate .. but that’s not happening any longer. A nation with no borders and no identity with growing stressors on the healthcare system and welfare stands zero chance in the future. Depending on how old you are, maybe you just know it won’t affect you. Depending on how much you want to live in a country that has somewhat of an identity, maybe you just don’t care.

You’re actually onto something here, although I’m sure you’ll disagree with where I’m going with it. We are currently seeing what a culture driven by liberal women (and effeminate men) looks like. Record levels of unhappiness and medicating away reality, but the political party in power is fueled by single women and the culture (Hollywood, C-Suite suits and marketing agencies) relentlessly pander and propagandize us with content best described as “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions”. Whether its immigration, crime, Palestine, trans etc., women & effeminate men gravitate to the empathetic side of that argument .. making us less safe, more confused and economically dependent upon the government given the lefts further ambitions of the deterioration of the family unit & dependence upon authority to provide/protect. Given women typically view things through a more emotional lens than men, (especially those that are single and without children) it’s all very effective. And here we are. The decline of a civilization. We all know it. We’re doing the same thing every other declining civilization has done. History always repeats itself.

I can get on board with a pass rusher, but we all recognize that they let more physicality go in the playoffs, right? That doesn’t excuse our DL for never making a play. Chris Jones won the game for KC by beating Dawkins clean when Allen needed a split second more to hit Shakir for a TD. But overall, ever since that KC/Tampa Super Bowl, nobody really touches Mahomes in the Playoffs. CIN beat him in the postseason because Anarumo went mad scientist and out-schemed KC.

This is obviously bizarre. What is even happening here? Legitimately looks like an AI filter.

I think we have a strong DT rotation, but share your concern about DE. A lot seems to hinge on Von and a 5th Round Draft Pick. That being said, the Bills signed Leonard Floyd last summer, and if they need to do something similar again.. I’m sure they will once we get past 6/1. Wouldn’t be shocked if we went into the season with this Defense plus Micah Hyde and another FA pass rusher.

I was in the camp that has been extremely frustrated with how this organization has addressed the WR position. And I think alot of the angst is cumulative & reflective of how our WR’s have been an issue late season/playoffs the past two years. Defense constantly let’s us down, but we have a D coach and invest heavily there, so I don’t know what to say anymore. But we haven’t given Josh heavy investment in that room. He almost willed us to a Divisional victory against the best defense in the league with the ghost of Diggs and Trent Sherfield as WR2. That being said… I like this WR room. It hinges on Brady/Allen clicking and Allen being able to play Point Guard better. We should have a good OL again & everyone on the field.. at all times.. is a pass catching option. We have more speed (Shakir, Samuel, MVS) and more size (Coleman/Hollins) than we’ve ever had for Allen. Look for an above average run game, Kincaid’s evolution into a 1 and everything else playing off that with WR’s taking turns having big games based on how teams play us. But Josh has to learn how to take layups and play within structure better for this to work. I think this off-season and how we’ve built the offense shows he recognizes that.

Pats should be bad to meh, at best. Dolphins are alot like us. Added some, lost some and enter the season wondering what/when they get in two of their top defensive guys (Phillips/Chubb). Jets got better. Might have the best roster on paper. But are old and beat up at some very important positions, including QB. IF the wheels don’t come off, they should be tough, but it seems like more of a when, not if, that happens.

Clay Travis is hit or miss for me, but he’s 100% correct here. I’m sure some posters here are/were or are around NFL athletes. The majority of every NFL locker room, and their coaches (including ours) agree with most/all of what Harrison Butker said. Most of them, likely on direction from the organization and representation, won’t comment publicly in agreement with Butker .. but I can guarantee you he’s gotten quite a few private messages of support from his own locker room, locker rooms around the league, and based on the mentality, coaching and team leaders of our team … quite a few messages of support from our locker room as well. And while every current player knows they’d become a media hero for any form of criticism towards Butker.. not one has done so. Meanwhile, those that cover the league, as a group (some are outliers) could not be more diametrically opposed to the players they cover. There are outliers like former player Chris Long, who is genuinely more socially progressive, but it’s rare in the league. Yet so many who cover the league, locally and nationally, are in constant tension with players values. Once some start to speak up more against these sports journalists, like in the UFC where it’s now not just acceptable but expected, it’s a wrap. I look forward to the day a Tim Graham or Sneaky Joe regularly get bodied by the athletes they cover.

Randomly caught Movin The Chains on NFL Radio while driving and they were discussing Safety rooms. Got to us and had zero chill about Hyde. Basically said it’s time for us to give him an ultimatum. I have to imagine Beane has an idea behind the scenes of where his head is at.

Nah.. just a guy in his 30’s, former athlete, who goes to the gym regularly, eats healthy, owns a business and has come to a point where I legitimately don’t respect people like you. I don’t hate you. I just think weak men create hard times and people like you buckled under covid, will buckle under the next emergency and can’t handle any dissenting voices when the entirety of our societal institutions (daily) inundate us with messaging to counter any person who dares step up and challenge it. Most of us men, statistically speaking - relevant polling, are growing to resent y’all. You may think you speak for women, but they don’t respect you for acquiescing on anything difficult. Many of them will thank you in public for being compliant .. and then think less of you in private. Meanwhile everything around us deteriorates because people like you are a slave to the system. A cog in the messaging.

Starting to think these angry women on Twitter, egged on by sports journos and beta podcasters aren’t actually the majority on this issue…

If Butker gave a speech encouraging women to seek career advancement above all else, celebrate their abortion and prioritize shattering the glass ceiling by relegating their spouse/children as they climb the corporate ladder, he’d be celebrated by the same people attacking him, the NFL wouldnt put out a statement and the Rich Eisen’s, Tim Graham’s and skinny-fat Bills podcaster’s of the world would have zero to comment. Sad world we live in. And while I think women can absolutely find their value and happiness is a career, the growing number of testimonies for 30/40-something single/childless women saying they’ve been lied to would indicate this isn’t just men projecting trad values onto them. Many men need to hear what Butker has to say. Some women do too. Some women don’t .. and they should just ignore him and find solace in the fact that every other societal institution in the Western world is in opposition to Harrison’s words.

Has nothing to do with him being white, despite yalls weird hyper obsession with race. Conservatives went out and supported Jonathan Isaac as well when the left went after him.

Are they? Potentially some. He has the leading women’s jersey sale in the NFL right now. I don’t remember that being a huge women’s issue in the league back then. It was more MAGA white male boomers echoing that charge. I think a lot of the support Butker is getting are from people like me. 30-something male who agrees with almost everything he said and is sick of the outrage fomented against anyone who dare speak out against the current societal orthodoxy. The fact every media outlet, corporation and marketing agency validates that worldview, yet I still need to hear outrage from Rich Eisen to Aaron Quinn. It’s all so performative and exhausting.

I didn’t really see a ton of people say they’re not watching the NFL anymore over this. I’ve seen a lot of people pointing out that most people in NFL locker rooms agree with Butker. ….and, spoiler alert, they do. NFL athletes align far closer to the UFC than they do the Lebron types of the NBA.

Now the highest selling jersey in the NFL for both men AND women. Buffalo Bills sports media and Cover 1 in shambles.

I don't hate how the schedule is laid out. It was going to be a tough schedule regardless.. could've been better, but could've been a lot worse. Overall I think it's a pretty decent lay out. Jeremy White tweeted out the difference in schedule between us and the Jets. Man.. it's drastic. KC, BAL, DET vs PIT, DEN, MIN MY biggest observation from our schedule is that Josh Allen and the Offense better find chemistry, quick.. We better get that opening week dub against Arizona and iron out any chemistry issues before Miami 4 days later and a tough 5 game stretch out the gate.

Then follows it up by “apologies” What the hell kind of city do the Chiefs play in!?

I honestly don’t hate it. If you watch our Embedded, McDermott wanted Van Pran-Granger there, who the Bills got a handful of picks later. Joe Brady seems to want the backs involved in the passing game. Ray Davis is one of the better receiving backs in this Draft, provides us between the tackle running and I don’t think age should be a concern for teams who view RB’s as four year players. The Bills RB vision is definitely prioritizing not needing to change the Offense depending on who is in the game. In fairness, the fact I love what the Bills did in RD5 certainly helps me be more ok with a RB in RD4.

We do have the most draft capital of any team in 2025. Our RD2 and a RD4 (given we should have three) is where I'd think teams would listen. Especially given the fact that most of these WR's won't actually see Free Agency next year. We go through the same song and dance and they all end up traded or re-signed.

Do I think Kincaid has Kelce potential? Yes. Do I think people need to stop using KC/Kelce as blueprint? Yes. It's like how every raw, ultra athletic, big arm QB can now be Josh Allen. Just because it worked for us, doesn't mean it's a blueprint. Josh Allen may be the most purely gifted QB the NFL has ever seen. Kelce may be the best TE in the history of the league.

If you're going to go in on a big investment at WR, either via FA or a trade next year, why wait? That's the part I don't really get. Why purposefully leave that bullet out of the chamber this year, in one of Allen's prime years, if you plan on doing it anyway next year. To what?... Save your RD2 pick and provide a slightly cleaner cap because you didn't have to make room/push money down the road by bringing said player in this year? To me that seems illogical. If you're looking to make that move next year, you should explore making it this year. If you want to see how Coleman, Shakir and Kincaid show out this year before seeing if that move is necessary, then you wait.

I look at the numbers we have competing for WR6 and just think they're planning not to. That's my thinking on why I don't expect it. Because I definitely don't take anything Beane says at face value. i.e. "no big fish", immediately signs Von Miller a day later. It does seem logical that if we are planning on bringing in a big fish next year at WR, that we should probably explore doing it this year. Giving up a pick and shifting money around is completely worthwhile if they are planning on doing it anyway. Why leave that bullet out of the chamber for one of Allen's prime years simply because it saves you a pick and provides you a slightly cleaner cap outlook?
