Oh yeah that is a badass name! Not tracking the happenings on the NBA side, but that would be a cool name no matter the sport.

Hey man I can 100% understand your position and why you hold it. I feel like I understand you POV and respect it. It absolutely has merit. We just value things differently 🤷‍♂️ We’d be on the same side (and I’m 100% positive there wouldn’t have been an issue such as this one) if they had at least stuck with an Indian theme in the final name. Nothing NA about Commanders. I think that’s why they sued. They’d rather a derogatory reference than being erased. Some didn't mind (your reference). Some did (OP link). Maybe this lawsuit will allow a “compromise” where they both settle on a more appropriate name that acknowledges the NA community. Good PR and “Commanders” doesn’t really blow me away as a great team name.

It’s not like the N word because it’s a different word in a different set of circumstances. Not everything is “just like the n-word”. This movement is deleting a people from our culture and history. So this isn’t framed by how its similar in circumstances it is to the N word, but by its shared culture with Braves, Blackhawks and Seminoles. You see a bad word being purged, I see a culture being purged. If they re-named their team after the predominant NA culture of the area, I’d be right there next to you. But that’s the thing. There isn’t a single reference to NA culture that isn’t considered “offensive” by some. So while this particular name is likely the most offensive of the bunch, it’s also just another assault on NA’s by a gang of litigious white knights.

I can see how you see the difference and I don’t think you’re a bad person . I want to make sure that’s clear brother. My question is, who are you to decide if it’s offensive enough to eliminate all NA’s completely from the team? If that specific word was the issue than why not change it to a less supposedly offensive Indian name? But the thing is, there is no “non-offensive” NA name, as challenges to the Braves, Seminoles and Blackhawk can attest. It’s because they are NA that they are attacked and that’s the problem.

You can try to justify whitewashing NA’s out of existence all you want, doesn’t make it right. Looks like we have a new squeaky wheel now don’t we. Will you support this whee like the last or are you afraid of what other non-NA’s would think of you?

Like I’ve consistently said from the beginning on this topic. Deleting these proud societies that’ve earned the respect of their adversaries from our collective consciousness does not help them. non-NA’s trying to impress other non-NA’s about how good they are, patting each other on the back, mindless of the destruction they leave in their wake.

I’m thinking standing with one leg on each side of the seat, then a jet ski smashed into the side of his knee, much like a hard lower body tackle, but with more speed, mass and power. *shiver*

Man that’s terrible news!!! His two returns against the Pats is a family legend. The 1st return was obviously for Damar, but that second one, at least for us, was for my sister who passed the day before (42 y/o) and was a HUGE Bills backer. Surprisingly emotional typing that. Damn smoke must’ve gotten into my eyes. I’m hoping for a speedy recovery brother!!

I’ve been a fan of this guy since his time in Clemson. He’s built like a grocery isle stock boy but for some reason the dude makes / made elite athletes look silly. Like he sold his soul to be good at football, so never bothered to get a football body. Not sure what his physical state is now, but if he’s in decent enough shape, I’d love him on the Bills.

🤣🤣🤣 I don’t mean to virtue signal but…

The scary thing is you as a citizen have immense power at the State/Local levels. You have nearly zero power at the Federal/National level, so why is it, do you think, that we have wall to wall National coverage where all you can do is get mad and post stuff, and almost no coverage at the State/Local level where you actually have wieldable power? Bread and circuses.

I like the additions we made along the line, but I still would like a beast on the edge. One that can't be held and taken out of the game when the refs decide to keep the flags in their pockets. Hopefully Rousseau continues to develop, but even Von relies on speed, and speed can be cancelled by a hold. Concerning our CBs they just seem to be out physical'd at the point of the catch. It's like our CBs play fair and theirs play hard. It's likely a function on Man vs Zone, so scheme does play a role, but I want playoff CBs and to me, that's jamming on the LOS and tight "hansy" Man. That's a great way to put it Shaw thank you. Playing the averages works for the Regular season, but in the playoffs, each game is a stand-alone, do or die, win or go home situation. I agree, in those games, you can't play the averages, you have to play like there is no tomorrow. Meaning bend but don't break, just won't cut it. There's a difference in intensity that these recent Bills squads just don't seem to be able to match. I'm very much hoping that with McD calling the plays, we'll be a much more aggressive team.

It’s one of my beefs with the Bills. We’re built to win the Reg season, but come playoff time, we struggle. It’s all over our roster. Our CBs are too small and get manhandled in the playoffs. Our WRs are small and require agility to get open. Come playoffs, the opposing CBs are much more physical/grabby, and we get thrown off our game. Our D-Line is the same way. Small agile guys who can win in the Reg season but come playoffs, get held a ton and can’t break through. We need playoff type players that can power through the jam at the LOS or push through holds on the line. Dominant physical players that can impose their will. Josh is dominant like that, but not many other Bills players are. Fingers crossed for Kincaid. If we’re relying on the Refs to call a game like they do in the Reg season, we may see more games like the last one against the Bengals.

Actually I’m pretty sure ascertainment bias is the new scientific standard.

New grade school curriculum

Really would rather an Assistant Head Coach on the O side of the ball personally...

You never want to be trying/doing something for the 1st time in an emergency. This is such a cool story, thx for sharing.

To be a top 5 coach, he needs an innovative mind to run the O. That’s it. I think the D will be better w/McD calling the plays so all he needs is someone to engineer a dynamic O for him to succeed. That’s the issue with hiring a D HC IMO. When your O does well, the staff will get poached and you have to start over. Less likely to lose your D staff when the team is successful. I like thinking in racing terms, so the coordinators are like the car engineers. They design a world class vehicle for their QB to drive. The more time they work together, the more the Racecar/O is tweaked to fit the driver/QBs preferences and strengths. Sort of felt like last year, they tried to hire the Engineer’s assistant to run the same car/O and discovered there were some nuances to making it run right that the assistant had to figure out. The only real way to avoid this issue over and over IMO is to hire a Co-HC for the O? Is that even a thing?

Just keeping him off the Pats/Jets/Fish is a win as far as I’m concerned. The dude just abused us every time he played against us. He can ride the pine all year and I won’t GAF as long as I don’t see him running over our D play after play.

Just like the Seminole and Braves, it wasn’t the majority of Native Americans (NA) that were offended. It was white people who were offended that NAs weren’t offended enough that made the big stink. Just don’t understand how erasing NA from our culture is somehow a good thing for them. My wife is NA and we talk about this from time to time when she hears about another team deleting NAs. You name teams tough names to intimidate your opponents (obviously not really going to intimidate anyone playing modern sports). Using these names is an homage to NA ferocity and prowess on the battlefield. It’s out of respect of your former opponent. You wouldn’t name your team after someone soft/weak that you don’t respect or a people you despise.

They should just go back to Redskins.

Has anyone checked his Instagram??

100% entertaining read 👍👍 🤣🤣🤣

Last straw 🤣 Dude was thisclose to dropping DW for those 23 accusations, but was willing to weather the storm of massage and her ass mint jokes. But speeding jokes too???? Nope. Out!
