Everyone has bad games but I think part of what makes Purdy good is the surrounding cast. Deebo being out seems to be impacting him.

Do announcers think viewers are complete idiots? Just watched a Sehawks wide out get absolutely brained by a Bengals safety and the announcer goes out of his view to say the safety led with his shoulder. Dude it's on video.

If We Lose to Tyrod Taylor I Will ....(fill in the blank)

Mow my lawn at 11pm at night. -
I have a teenage son. I started telling him the same thing a few years back. If a woman comes into my office, I ask her if it would be ok to move the conversation to a common area or I invite another person to join the conversation. I will never go through what I went through again. My career would have been ruined.

About 10 years ago I was promoted to a job where I had 8 reports, all women. One woman in particular was very upset I was promoted, as she wanted the job. 5 months into the job my boss called me out of the blue while I was at the gym, and asked if I had ever considered promoting the woman who was upset over not getting the manager job. I told him I hadn't, she had a terrible attitude, and didn't have a college degree which was part of the job requirement to move to a Sr. Position. He said fair enough but I think she has great potential. One month after that conversation my local HR came to me to let me know I was under investigation for sexual harassment. And that corporate HR was coming to investigate me. Wanna guess who filed the complaint? Corporate HR investigated me, interviewed my other reports and came to the conclusion that they couldn't find any wrong doing with me towards my other reports, but because it was her word against mine, I wasn't going to be fired but if anyone ever made a claim against me again I'd be let go. A month later a different department, oddly enough law, offered me a position with no direct reports for a substantial raise. I took it, and 10 years later I am still with the company. My boss was fired after the corporate investigation however because come to find out he was sleeping with the woman who made the claim against me. He was in his 50s and married, she was in her twenties. She was sleeping with him and he was calling all the department heads trying to get her a promotion. Point is, I went to college and worked for a degree. Then I busted my butt to get my career to the point where I was being promoted and making good money. Make no mistake, this was a career, not just a job. And it was about to be taken away because someone made a false claim. To this day, I won't go to lunch with a female colleague. I won't be in an elevator or in an office alone with them. I don't talk to a female colleague about anything other than work. Maybe it only takes one but I am not taking the risk the one just happens to be the one I am talking to or alone with. This woman ruined my life for an entire month just because she could. Like it or not people are inherently selfish, entitled, and manipulative. It takes self control and maturity to overcome those things. There aren't many emotionally mature people walking around.

So the announcers are going to justify that? Holding maybe. Pass interference hardly. -
What was the first R Rated movie you saw?
thenorthremembers replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall
Have this awful memory of watching the movie Wired with my parents, I was 6. There is a scene where "Belushi" is dead on a gurny in it. Not sure what the hell my parents were thinking. -
You need so much help. I hope you get it.

Not at all. Its just blatant horse crap. Christianity does not equate to only white Americans. Any proliferation of the opposite by a white person is in itself racist as it discredits the faith of millions of people of color. There are studies out there that say a larger portion of the African American and Latino populations are Christian than the percentage of white Christians. I am white and I am Christian, but I am also fiercely against devisive tactics like the stuff you spew on these boards. Its just bias nonsense.
-
Right because I've never seen an African American Christian in my life. Meanwhile in China underground churches are happening. If all else fails blame whitey or call someone a racist.

I can get on board with this. Especially adding in the play design portion.

The best the Bills have ever been in YAC since Josh took over as QB is 14th. So it makes more sense to you that they consistently sign wideouts who can't separate for the last 6 years than it is to say Josh's throwing style doesn't lead to YAC yardage? They've had how many different tight ends and wideouts since 2018? I can count 10 without trying, and all of those guys can't separate? Yes, I am repeating my opinion on this redundantly, because it comes up multiple times a year.
-
People keep pounding on the YAC point, its the QB, not the wideouts. Its not something that is ever going to change with Josh as the QB. He is often throwing off platform. How many times have you seen our wideouts hit in stride allowing them YAC? Now think of how many times you've seen our wideouts catching the ball low or late or while they are already on the ground? I love Josh. Wouldnt trade him for pretty much anyone in the league, but the low YAC is a direct result of his playing style.

Could it be the Raiders jersey they are in?

Bills signing Josh Norman - yes, seriously

Doesn't matter. My 12 year old told me Josh Allen is trash today, so seasons over anyways. -
Like to see more of Harris and Murray early
thenorthremembers replied to BananaB's topic in The Stadium Wall
Could have had of choice of either Breece Hall or Kenneth Walker over Elam. Looks like a big mistake right now. -

thenorthremembers replied to BananaB's topic in The Stadium Wall
I just flat out dont think Cook is a lead back in the NFL. For all the speed I hear about he is abysmally slow to the hole. Its very hard to say that because he is still averaging over 5 yards a carry but he just doesnt have the feel of a bell cow back. Id like to see Harris get more work, but I think we know what we have with Murray at this point in his career. -
Bills injuries - Milano , Da Jones, Floyd

Tim Settle is the backup 1 tech. I think he is fine there, but they need to go outside and bring another one in. Kendel Vickers is a 290 pound DT, he isnt a 1 tech. -
Non-existent. I only noticed him on the field once. Bills have paid him 3 million dollars a sack so far. I said it when they signed him, and continue to feel the same way. It was an unusual move for Beane when he did it, and was a direct reaction for losing out on JJ Watt and Chandler Jones in consecutive years. Its also the reason Deandre Hopkins isnt in a Bills uniform.

Guy is 3 wins away from being the 2nd winningest coach in the Bills 63 year history and fans want him fired...seems right.
-
If they dont it wont be McDermott on the hot seat. Personally, I think Josh makes Dorsey look better than he actually is. The offense has no creativity to it once so ever. No window dressing. Just lines up the guys and hopes they can outdo the other guys.
-
Even if the Bills only win 5-8 games this year, the seat would only be marginally hot next year. That said, this is still a 10-12 win football team. The McDermott stuff is mindblowing to me.
-
Who are we trading for? Another press man corner when we play zone? Courtland "worse than Gabe Davis at catching" Sutton, Jerry "Never Done a Thing in the League" Jeudy? Justin Simmons is really the only guy who stands out for me and he sucks this year too. Maybe if we can get Marvin Mims for a day 3 pick? I dont know, no one really stands out to me.

They just need to play the Giants.
