To those wondering where else you should spend the money instead: Trenches. Beef the trenches. Invest in the trenches until you find a QB. The cost of two high-end skill position players is enough to put together an entire top-tier O-line. When you do finally land a QB, you put them into a position with good protection and a strong run game to lean on while they get their feet wet in the NFL.

I mean Most couples are having sex, and despite the jokes to the contrary, married couples on average have sex more often than unmarried folks So you can probably assume by default they're being pounded out, and that what they're actually telling you is unrelated to the amount of sex they're having

I just want to say that I definitely experienced the squickiness of the language pertaining to his actions. That said... I think it's an unpleasant but genuine reality. Statistically, a huge chunk of men commit at least one sexual assault in their lives and will admit to behaviors that qualify as sexual assault as long as you don't refer to it as sexual assault. The statistical range is roughly 1/5 to 1/3 of college males. Paradoxically, young men that have lots of consensual sex are actually more likely to commit sexual assault because they are more likely to find themselves in scenarios where they expect/anticipate sex based on prior experiences, which leads to them either not noticing or ignoring cues of uncertainty or non-consent from someone they want to have sex with. It's very likely that a large number of current Bills have committed acts that could be accurately described as sexual assault from the perspective of the other party, and most of those dudes are likely not even aware of it. While it's at lower rates than men, women do it, too. I am far from god's gift to sex appeal, and I had two different situations in college where women tried to take advantage of the fact that I was inebriated. They didn't mean harm, they were just trying to get laid, but if I were not a 6' dude that felt comfortable just waiting for a moment to physically get away it could have been a very unpleasant situation. At least two of my male friends that I know of also had close calls, including one where a girl was very clearly deliberately taking advantage of his inebriation and inexperience to try to keep him from leaving, and he ultimately had to be bailed out by friends who realized something was wrong. At least one male friend that I know of was successfully assaulted by a woman in college. It's an unfortunate element of human behavior that is very prevalent. We have a daughter, a son, and another daughter on the way. They're young, and we're doing our best to help them understand consent and boundaries both for themselves and others from the get-go. Honestly, it's rough going, and we're going to have to work our butts off to get it to stick. Not everybody innately understands the potential harm in what they want, even when it's harmful, which is why it's so important to consistently hammer this stuff home. Things that seem like they should be obvious aren't always obvious to otherwise decent, well-intentioned people, and sometimes otherwise decent, well-intentioned people commit sexual assault to get their perceived needs met. It's why it's such a tough problem to solve, and why people struggle with it so much. We want to believe that only monstrous people are capable of committing sexual assault, but sometimes it's normal, everyday folks, including the sweet, empathetic elementary education grad student that has always wanted to work with kids, posted a ton about her own genuine experiences during the height of #metoo... and also tried to prevent a drunk dude with a girlfriend from leaving her hotel room at the end of a group get-together when she was feeling lonely and horny as a college undergrad.

Right after the alleged assault she called the police to report it. Beane was aware of it and addressed it after we drafted him. Yikes.

Come forward? Bruh. Not just my opinion, also the stance of NYS law, which provides up to 12 weeks and thankfully provides protections against employers who think as you do. Having the opinion that any state in this country provides too much parental leave is certainly one of the opinions of all time, and is of course your right as an American to have, as we celebrate the birth of our nation.

Oh, spending time caring for and bonding with your newborn and easing the load on the mother physically recovering from birth is just "milking things" now? I took 6 weeks and then 8 weeks of PFL for my first two kids. Working is easier. Way easier. Being down a person or two for injury, illness, unfilled position etc. is pretty commonplace, you adjust. Heaven forbid a new dad opt not to shove all newborn parenting duties onto the mom, though.

I miss Mack. Not looking forward to a season with him on the Patriots. Current roster, probably Spencer Brown. Nothing quite likr a terrifying giant cruising down the field with a full head of steam to ruin someone's day.

The actual forgotten outcome of that thread is the Bills were, again, offensive juggernauts that did not, in fact, struggle to win more than six games, and that Amari Cooper was a meaningful contributor for exactly two games last season. MVS had an objectively better season for New Orleans in the same role that Cooper did, and it is hard to argue that Cooper offered something MVS did not. Cooper did not save our offense any more than keeping MVS would have. Obviously we all had high hopes for Cooper, but what he actually delivered wasn't particularly impactful.

We took a ton of athletic, high-ceiling players, though?

No-- it upscales to "old men yell at clouds".

This... feels like an excessive amount of animosity for a player that is by all accounts professional and provides a high floor of QB play.

I think this game is demonstrating just how much the talent matters. Eagles are doing absolutely nothing special schematically, but are destroying the Chiefs anyway.

They did, though. That's what makes it the stripes' fault. They got the foot. Refs said "nah". Kincaid also had the first down, which they spotted short to make that screw job possible in the first place. I'm generally pretty level-headed when it comes to ref calls, that was an absolutely atrocious sequence, though.

The Josh Allen Experience, baby! Live by the Josh, die by the Josh-- I'll take the occasional insanity if it means we get the rest of the package.

Re-sign this absolute maniac ASAP.

That... wasn't Goff, fam.

Literally only certain segments of our own "fans" think we are a team of losers. There are few teams whose fans would not envy our sustained run if success.

Yes, but have you considered the following unassailable argument? "McBeane Bad" Checkmate

Please tell me this is facetious

IDK, I have it on good authority that Cooper is the savior of the Bills' offense and the only reason our WRs are able to get any production.

I really, really want Hollins back next season. Dude is an absolutely perfect WR4. Could not ask for a better fit for that role. Blocking, trashtalking madman that scores TDs in the redzone and is a menace on special teams.

We just dominated a team whole not doing anything resembling "bend but don't break nonsense" on defense and you legit can't even be happy for a moment

Bro, get therapy What is wrong with some of you folks

The average poster here is very attached to an era of football that no longer exists.

I am thrilled we added Cooper to the team. The price was cheap for a player of his caliber, and the more weapons, the better. Still not the savior of the offense. He fills the role that one of MVS/Claypool were unsuccessfully brought in to fill. It's an important role, and it's worth noting that MVS has had some high-production games for New Orleans, so it isn't as though it was a particularly bad bet, just didn't work out. Cooper has not been a #1 WR for the Bills, and that's okay. Still a good addition to the squad.
