Keenum and Trubiski
2 wins.
Why no Thaddeus Cowan Lewis?

Like Springsteen said, "It's a town for losers. I'm pulling out of here to win."
I left 21 years ago, but the mindset stays. All those lost super bowls and Stanley cups along with a decimated local economy produces a feeling of negativity that runs deep.
Buffalo is a tough place for tough people, but it can weigh on the mind after awhile.
Just one super bowl or Stanley cup would do a ton to alleviate that feeling.

Don't lose any sleep over that.
No forward pass. That's a gimmick.
It was a cheap gimmick to attract those young Gatspy whipper snappers.

Dear NFL,
You had it right to begin with.. Stop messing with stuff.
Love,
Everyone
On June 24, 1922, the organization, now headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, changed its title a final time to the National Football League.
You're right! Way back in the roaring twenties it was perfect.

Live look at Bills Backers Bar in San Francisco when the red helmet announcement comes out (just like they did!)

Being compared to Manning is great. Can Allen end his career with 72,000 passing yards and win 2 super bowls? Or, like Matt Ryan and Phillip Rivers, end his career with 63,000 yards and zero super bowls?
Personally, I'd prefer Montana's 40,000 yards and 4 super bowls!
At this point, he could still fizzle out like Luck, Bulger, or Culpepper.

It's exactly how it works. It has gotten way too expensive to keep up with the increased costs the NFL demands to host MNF. NFL and the players are greedy as heck and will do anything for an additional dime in their pocket.
Just waiting for the day for the NFL to price themselves out of more networks and they will end up on some dumb streaming platform that will kill their audience.
NFL is playing with fire with the amount of greed they are trying to obtain. I can assure you, the NFL isn't what it is today, without MNF for all these years on ESPN or ABC. They are currently biting the hand that is feeding them. It may not seem like its an issue now because the money is flowing, but the harder it is to find the games or buy a service to watch the game, the more future fans you are throwing away.
Upside down Marxian economics.
Capitalism is the problem of capitalism.
As the de-industrialization of Buffalo shows, workers will be eliminated in favor of cheaper labor for maximum profits.

Actual N.Y. state is the root cause of the nations COVID -19 problems
Actually, the root cause is free market capitalism which allows for unregulated wet markets for the sake of profits because we can't have regulations on business, right? We can't regulate the market for health and safety? Right? Isn't it the right of Chinese business owners to be able to sell their goods without govt interference? Right? That's the root cause. But we can't expect Americans to have a sense of political, economic, environmental or historical context. That would be asking too much of Americans.

Basically, as players return to team facilities over the next couple of months, we just need to brace ourselves for the fact that likely all 32 teams will have positive COVID tests. There are 90 players on each roster. The likelihood that ZERO players test positive on any given team is extremely low. It doesn't mean everything is going to shut down or that there won't be a season, necessarily -- although it COULD mean those things. Andrew Brandt said it well on Twitter:
The primary factor in whether or not we have a 2020 NFL season will be the extent of the NFL owners' greed, and how they weigh the opportunity cost of profits vs safety of their players, coaching and support staffs, and fans. The other thing I could see playing a major role is if a player or coach ends up being hospitalized or dying from COVID. Bear in mind that many coaches are solidly in the "at risk" group, as are a fair amount of offensive linemen. There is a certain point past which even the money-obsessed owners will not be able to justify moving forward with a season.It's not greed. It has little to do with the moral character of individuals. The system is capitalism. We are all on the ride. When the system functions and commodities circulate and people work, things are relatively good (for a certain class of people in the first world). But when things go bad for capitalism, we all suffer. It's a system. It's not individuals. It's social. We are all involved. People die everyday to sustain capitalism. It just usually isn't so obvious to relatively comfortable first world people. We all need to stop moralizing all of this and aim to examine how capitalism functions. Oh wait Marx did that in 3000 pages in the late 1860s. Welcome to the latest crisis!

I hope you didn’t buy any masks bro, they don’t work!
Except Fauci admitted that was a lie to the American Public to prevent shortages.
Do you ever get tired of people lying to you because they know best?
I didn't buy any masks because I already had several bandannas, which I tied around my thigh over my jeans at both Ted Nugent and Toby Keith shows.

Why do you think this? Because they're white? Because they've changed their minds about the topic?
It seems to me that there's been a sudden sea change in how people look at the issues of systemic racism and excessive use of force by law enforcement because of the George Floyd murder. Many white people who never really thought about racism or police brutality have jolted to awareness -- and many to action -- by watching that video.
That's good.
But this expands beyond race and into economics. Which expands into capitalism and things like private property ownership. One of the main points of having the police and military is protect the interests of capital, both domestically and internationally (see Iraq War).
Furthermore, since most working class folks don't own anything and must sell their labor or make other plans, black markets emerge and must be disproportionately policed. Hence, police brutality against black folks and the working poor.
Thus, in order to combat racism, major changes to the economic structure must happen.
I don't see Watt in favor of defunding our domestic and international police and redistributing that trillion dollars to education, for example.
I don't see Watt and the like supporting those objective economic changes.
Make sense?

Is it still a protest if everybody kneels?
It seems that if real American hero Watt kneels, it kind of deflates the whole thing.
Because, while categorically Watt and the like may be against police brutality, I don't think they're for any real systemic change.

I will be at all three of those games too.
I got my tickets for Arizona at $40 per ticket. A member of the San Diego Bills Backers got group tickets from the Cardinals box office.
I don't know if he has anymore, but I can ask him if you like.
Is that Utica Club? I've been to PB for a few games. I need four tickets. If none are left, no big deal. I've been to PHX for games and usually get the tickets real cheap. Right now they're going for over $70 for nose bleeds.
But if he has four I'll buy them.

I think it's unlikely that Raiders ticket prices will go down ever. Luckily I have season tickets. I plan to sell my Chiefs, Broncos, and Dolphins tickets. My tickets for the Chiefs game are getting 1500-2000 per ticket right now. My friend sold his 4 seats for the Chiefs game for 15000.

This schedule is awesome for me, I live out west and planning on the LV, Ari, and Den games.
I plan on going to LV, Ari, and San Fran. Can't wait! I already have the ticket for LV and San Fran. The AZ tickets seem overpriced right now (AZ games are usually really cheap). What prices have you seen for AZ?

His comments should upset working class people, regardless of race. Speaking of guns, police shoot white working class rural folks at almost the same rate as black urban folks. So his statement is classist, as well.

It is part of a thread, and Fromm allegedly says that guns are good (not a problem), that he should be allowed to get suppressors (silencers), and that they should make suppressors expensive enough so that only elite white people could get them. The response is basically "Wtf, you think you're elite? Look at your profile picture."
If legit - and I am not saying it is - it's super-problematic for the obvious reasons, but also because Fromm has painted himself as Bible-quoting devout Christian whose hobby is praying. (I'm not making the last part up). https://sportsspectrum.com/sport/football/2019/08/30/georgia-qb-jake-fromm-follows-god-embraces-pressure-as-he-chases-elusive-title/

Because he is charging too much for what is essentially Vitamin C and he is claiming it will help you fight off viruses (like COVID-19).
It's snake oil.
It's right up the alley of all his other TB12 products that have no scientific backing and plenty of criticisms from healthcare professionals and nutritionists.
But you have to understand that people have different moral and ethical standards. They range from hyperindividualistic and hypercapitalistic to hypercollective and hypersocialistic with everything in between. We can see this spectrum right here in this thread. The main point is don't argue. It's pointless.

I don't doubt you've been studying it, so you probably know that the current estimate is 78% of those infected are asymptomatic. And I'm sure you know that the vast majority of those tested thus far in the US are tested because they are showing symptoms. So if we take the US confirmed cases (591,181) and factor in the asymptomatic carriers, that puts us around 2.69M infected. This essentially quarters the mortality rate you are trying to cite, and it's why others are pushing back on using it compared to an established rate from a past event. The raw numbers certainly look scary and are changing by the day, but as of right now we're looking at a mortality rate of ~0.91% which applies to ~0.81% of our country's population. I'm not trying to downplay it or anything, just taking a rational approach to the data.
Good luck out there and stay safe!
You're arguing against an estimate with another estimate. Although, I think your estimate is closer than his estimate.

I mean it’s way too early to evaluating schedules. But you’re right. We are playing teams that can put points on the board. We need to have a more consistent offense.
but at this point, it is a much harder schedule than last year. It is also the road trip Bills schedule possibly ever. That Vegas game will be absolutely insane.I can't wait!! I was at the Knights game Friday and the atmosphere is electric. But this time Buffalo will win and it will be sweet to talk trash to my Vegas family. Already have my ticket for this one. Hopefully there will be a road crew meet up for Bills fans and some tailgating.

NFL Had To Change A Rule All Thanks To Former Star WR Antonio Brown

Choir boy = all American hero JJ Watt
Typical NFL prospect = not JJ Watt.
