I miss the 1:00 games. We didn't have to many of those last year.
Yeah, I think I was sleep deprived by the end of the season. (Stupid 5 hour time zone difference).

Plenty of reasons that there is a difference in reaction.
1. Familiarity. Lots of people have been to Paris, not so many to Moscow.
2. Culture. France is an enlightened democracy with plenty of shared values. Russia is a totalitarian state run by a corrupt despot.
3. Coverage. Paris, as the capital of a democratic country, has a lot of news broadcasters and the amount of footage and reporting was enormous. Moscow is a totalitarian state with few foreign news teams (and limited in what they can do or where they can go). And the state run propaganda chanels are generally crap.
4. A lot of the pro-Paris stuff was from within Europe, whose nations are VERY closely tied to one another these days. Except for Putin's Russia and its satellite states, of course.
5. Unlikely to go to war any time in the next century vs Putin says in his statements that he should be ruling at least half of Europe and have troops in Berlin.
So, yeah, there are major differences as to the reaction. With the Russian attack there is empathy for the victims but not the widespread outpouring of support as there was for Paris. It also does not help with the sympathy angele that Putin is blaming the west/Ukraine for the IS attack, which is complete bollocks.

For what it’s worth, the U.S seems to be out in front of this more than Russia.
When the US warned about the possibility of attack it was (apparently) ignored. To quote Putin the warnings 'resemble outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilise our society'
Literally three days before the attack.

The alert was two weeks ago. And the Russians did stop one attack on a synagogue with four terrorists killed last week.
The claim this is definitely a false flag operation could be correct, BUT it is more likely that it is Islamic State ####### and Putin is using it as an opportunity to 'justify' his war on Ukraine.

The idea that a bunch of terrorists would flee to Ukraine is nuts - they would have to pass through the Russian front lines, FFS. So that is prime BS. (There are far easier ways to get the hell out of Russia, such as via the Baltic States or even into Belarus and moving on from there).
Either this is the work of Islamic terrorists. Or it is a false flag operation.

Hines is going to end up coming in on a cheap deal we cut him, but I think he’s going to camp
If he's fit, he's a fit.

DL first, then WR in the second (depending on who is available) as things stand at the moment.
We have very little in the DLine at the moment with all the FAs, and unless we have an eternal sign 1 year DL deals we do need regular input of fresh blood.
WR depth is good in this year's draft, apparently, so a good WR can be had in the 2nd, DL on the other hand is much thinner.
We will have to see what gets done in Free Agency, by the time the draft arrives our needs could be very different.

My word this is stressful.
Yeah, stressful and knackered. Great combination...

so two questions:
Why didn't we keep Haack and how was that not a penalty for a late hit?
We would lose another player on call-up. Probably Isabella, leaving us short in WR.
No penalty as he was blocked into the Chiefs player.
-
Cook, the OL and Knox - run on the Chiefs.
-
This is good news, because the Bills will now be able to use their PS call ups on positions of need. So Klein and Isabella again, I reckon.
-
If the Bills want to keep Poyer, they can. There is plenty they can do around the cap to ensure there is money to resign/extend players and get new guys in. No mega deals, but plenty of scope for mid range targets. It would be a risk getting rid of both in one year.

You were told a number of times, during warmups neither kicker could make it from that distance in that direction. it was against the wind, the try at that point was a foolish wrong decision, that resulted in giving the opponent 7 pts and injuring our punter.
There was little or no wind when the kick attempt was made, though. The flags at the top of the posts weren't blowing around like they would if there had been.
Still - the Bills Special Temas. Always an adventure.

Op you forgot Spector. Not sure what his injury is.
Spector was a back injury.

The short miss was because his non-kicking foot slipped when he planted it. Why it was so horrible.

His non-kicking foot slipped when he planted it. That happens and no kicker would have gotten that.

Whatever momentum we had, it's gone.
I didn't know Benford was back in, but now he is hurt again. Nightmare.
It's Bernard

Not in this thread much... but I had to come see the Elam posts... not disappointed.

I can’t remember the last time the Bills had two different tight ends with receiving touchdowns in the same game. Anyone know?
Metlezaars and Rolle, maybe?

Ed Oliver desperately trying to reach 88 pressures to go back in time and get a better contract.
Great Scott! You might be right.

Bills had multiple options they thought were of as at the same kind of level so they were happy to trade down, twice, as they could get more draft capital later on.
