I'm aware. but if we're being honest, it starts from the top down, right? In every aspect of this country.
I dunno, im no cuomo fan but was impressed w how he handled this as opposed to 'the top' and now when people get on cuomo for something they dont like I just stopped to wonder if the dude is really as bad as people say or if f-cuomo is more of a catch all. This seems pretty simple. Im as big of a Bills fan as it gets but honestly Im not sure why anyone wld want to mess w this and put themselves in a potentially dangerous situation. On the flip side, i can get dangerous and break a law or two w the best of them (much to my wifes dismay) BUT, this just seems pretty justified and self explanatory...imo of course

It still could happen, the first injury where they need to make a roster move and Jake is gone. I'll rule it out on New Year Day.
the Bills made him practice the last two days without shoulder pads to make sure he'd qualify.
So from what I can figure there were just 4 guys the Bills didn't try to sign to PS:
R Foster
B Allen
T Smart
M Harrell
Haven't seen where any of those 4 were picked up by another team??
Foster Packers and we claimed their Touchdown Jesus. It was like a trade of WR6 lol
-
Funny, its like we swapped Foster for Kumerow.
Sure, why not? Lets give it a whirl!

They will have a new model soon. Right now, they only have the throwback vapor elite in size 40. For whatever reason, somehow, you just caught them in between models being offered for sale. There are generally a few on ebay. I bought a 2014 style allen last year for $100. There is a Wood on there now for $100 as well. Id guess waiting a month will have the newest kit avbl on nflshop. You used to be able to order from the Bills store. The advantage to that is they use the tv style numbers the Bills actually use on their jerseys (that are a bit thicker so they pop on tv) rather than the generic nfl store numbers. All that aside, i get why people use china... but yuck! I dont care how good someone THINKS they are - you can tell that thing is a knockoff from 50 ft away. Wrong name font, incorrect wordmark. Back Bills logo is off, 9/10 the color is off. No thanks...

Please don’t take this in a mean or snarky way, because that it not how it is intended. As to the bold, this is like saying the Dean of MIT has a firm grasp of addition and subtraction.
We have very solid safeties, and the LB corps can move. I doubt Cam can take too many more hits and still keep going. Time will tell. Never underestimate Belichick.
3/4 of the way through the year there is a glitch/skip and after not taking a hit all year we find out Cam has really been just a hologram all along!!!

Just take a min and find something on ebay thats legit and then change the name.
DHGate is full of different vendors supplying product for a generic picture.
Even the 300 jerseys can be found for a third by hunting a little.
Dont forget, these knockoffs of the 94 teams that look so terrible look different because up until 2001 Bills jerseys were screen printed, not sewn.
Knockoffs fall apart after a dry clean, and you shouldnt wash your jersey anyway so we wont even discuss how terrible they look after.
Knockoffs, while have come a long way, still stick out like sore thumbs because their numbers are poofy, letters are way too big and thick, word mark is a weird font, and the material just looks incorrect.
And thats IF you manage to get the right shade of blue, one that doesnt have black instead of navy blue, non patriots number font, and the name spelled correctly.
The gist is, you get what you pay for. If you want to wear something to the game thats almost the right colors and spill mustard on it - then i guess you at least have an argument.
Some people just dont care, and thats the best argument for knockoffs imo.
People complain about the $100 nike game jersey cut. If you go to NFL.com you can get what they call a ProLine jersey thats identical to the old reebok jersey cut and it can be customized as well. This jersey is cheaper than the nike and looks better than knockoffs.
Granted, i care way more than most BUT i dont want to walk around wearing something most people can tell I paid 40 bucks for that looks CLOSE to how it should.

Fahey is trying to build a career as an expert in the way Mel Kiper did. Just some guy who didn't know anything about football, just a fan, who studied stats and reached conclusions, started writing about his conclusions and observations. Then he got a job at a recognized outlet. The guy doesn't know the first thing about being a quarterback. Not to say he couldn't learn, but that will take decades, not years.
Kiper is completely self-taught. He doesn't understand what a team's needs are, and he doesn't understand that teams are looking for the best player without regard to need, but his mock drafts repeatedly are based on his perceptions of a team's need. It's ridiculous.
Yes, you can put together reels like this on any QB, but it's a lot tougher to do it for Brees or Rodgers than it is for Allen. For Brees, he rarely seems to be in a hurry; for Rodgers it seems he performs well when he's in a hurry. For Allen, it translates into a sub-60 completion percentage.
Which, goes right into the 2nd part of my point. If thats the cost, thats cool w me. We all want consistency but w a boom or bust player, as long as its on the boom side it is what it is

I dunno, i think theres a such this as being overly sensitive. This might be that instance. Sure, these were some terrible throws. Some might have been better off not caught. Some may have bordered on throwaway, ie, ill put it out of reach and if my guy happens to catch it hes the only one i want w a sniff at it. Others just too quick - bad throw.
That said, you can put a reel like this together from most qbs. Secondly, if we have to deal w the occasional blip to get the crazy game breaking plays... im good w that. Its only when its reverses that it becomes an issue.

Both are pretty bad imo. Hopefully the Rams are decent. I know the word mark has gotten some hate - but imo the jerseys are what matters. These are two fails. Im not sure which i dislike more. Both are faulty bc both teams had a great oppertunity to (although both claim they did) draw from the past to come up with something both aesthetically pleasing and classic. The bucs claim they went throwback, but is going back to something that was abandoned in 2013 really throwback? Its essentially how the sabres went old school after the slug. They went to a redesigned look of the old design but with some tewaks. These tweaks are essentially the difference in Nikes ability to replicate what Adidas once designed. The silver color of the pants for example is now longer possible to make by nike, so we get a dark smoke grey rather than shiny pewter. The sabres added under arm piping to fit with the reebok edge bc the jersey fit had changed from the ccm days.
Football jerseys have changed shape as well, so this was essentially an update with the tweek of the pole on the ship being behind the sail rather than the front.
Now, the falcons?! YUCK. 1st off, with the drop shadow on the numbers?? This has been done ONCE well. Thats the 9ers 94 and now current throwbacks. Anything else looks very 90s and dated. Their previous current kit was dated in this same way. Rather than do what it seemed most people wanted and embrace their throwback w a home and away and maybe a red helmet, the continued the Nike trend of jerseys that look out of touch and date before they even hit the street. Weird numbers, ATL just thrown under the collar WAY too large, and again...the stupid drop shadow. These fall right in line w the jets and the browns (**who once again are getting a redesign this offseason**) as just generic video gamey arena league designs. Nike actually seems to do college well. Im not sure if its the nfl restrictions or what, but imo the only nike update thats worked was the very 1st, and even the Seahawks are now getting a little dated and their old throwbacks are starting to become popluar.
The Broncos are the only team that now remains from the original Arena league looking overhaul from the early 2000s. The Bills bailed in 2011 thankfully and the Falcons are finally updated although they missed the boat. Luckily, along w that the trend of totally adopting a new colorway has diminished.
Its worth mentioning, neither team planned these knowing the helmet rule was going into the trash.
Im not sure it mattered, but why the Buccs said the fans wanted this (they all wsntsd bucco bucco Bruce back) and went back to 2013 rather than an update of the 70s i dont know. Whats even weirder is they went w the right idea, but w the wrong concept. The falcons just missed the boat entirely rather than updating the red helmet Dion era.
And thats all i have to say about that;)

I rooted for him and wanted him to be Kelly’s successor, but like I said before the team didn’t have his back and they kicked him out the door too quick.
I remember when he got drafted I was like, Who the ***** is this guy LOL, until we traded up for him I had never heard of him and didn’t know about his college career. Even then it seemed like such a out of left field choice to draft him. I can’t remember but was he even being mentioned of being a first round pick? Should’ve taken Big Ben
I suppose, i guess i was referring to his long and illustrious career he had prior to his time w the bills as a backup

Trust me I like Reich as much as the next fan. But he was in no way a starting QB, both Carolina and The Jets found that out the hard way. Great teammate and probably the best back up that ever played the game, but was a horrible starter. If the NFL had a Hall Of Fame for back ups he’d probably be a first ballot lol
Todd Collins might have something to say about that...

i say no....to me barkley is a #3
i value the backup qb more than most. i think it's the 10th most important position on the team.
the way they addressing so many needs in free agency....makes me think a QB is possible in the 2nd or 3rd round.
especially if they add a RB before the draft
10th? Like you've actly made a list? Well, i guess we all have some extra time now lol

ADHD has nothing to do with writing style. Many professional writers have that issue. It does seem to make a difference in posters who write like they are doing tweets and IMs.
Iiii think you took that a little litteral.
Like, if you say something smells like crap, it may not ACTUALLY smell like crap - but it gives you the idea it smells bad...
