Exactly. People getting mad with any mistakes. You hold yourselves to same standards at work?

Good for you. IDK why but my kids associate McD with turning obese. They will eat all other kind of junk food but never McD. And I do nothing to convince them otherwise ha ha.

Brees is still golden. More than a changing of the guard, is (at last) the rising of a new. Goff and Mahones are in the new breed just like Mayfield, Allen and co. 2nd year vs 1st year is huge now but in 5 years that difference will be minimal. So few stars between the big dogs and the new breed. Rivers, and then a lot of "very good but not great" guys like Dalton, Bradford, etc. My "fear" is not that Allen is a bust. I'm convinced he is THE man. The best already since Flutie/Bledsoe and hopefully since Kelly. The guy you want to lead and build the team around. I just hope he becomes elite and not "just" one of those guys that occasionally cracks the Top 10. That'd be quite the improvement of course but still, we deserve our star QB As for defenses, of course they matter. IMO there are many ways to win. A great defense would still make a team Superbowl contenders. No doubt new rule tweaks favor the offense but defenses ain't obsolete.

That must have been epic indeed to avoid this since 1967 ha ha. I mean I eat very little junk food but you take this to a whole other level As for Josh and the Bills, I do wonder what they eat on Saturdays and Sundays. Performance is affected by how we feed the body, no doubt.

Allen is a big attraction indeed to any speedy deep threat receiver. Olinemen will follow the money. The "nightlife" is overblown for most vets. Of course, some love that stuff but there's not a lot. As examples, Shady and Gronk know how to party offseason and remain focused inseason. I'd add to the list that the national media don't seem to focus much on the Bills so those craving stardom and sponsorship will hesitate. Winning would fix a lot of that of course, but small out of the way cold area = fewer journalists and coverage. Still, overall it's not as bad as most make it out to be. It comes down to a chance to shine so coaches, reputation, QB, etc. matter more than other factors. Nothing some money won't fix. As for taxes, how can some States have zero income taxes? They have higher sales taxes? I mean they have to get money to provide services!

I never did go on looking to fight a guy twice my size either. Nor argue aggressively with one either. Funny that then you would most likely feel I was the dumbass and it was justified for Big Dude to push me down and teach me some life lessons. And before you put words in my mouth, I'm NOT saying it's the same thing, a man twice the size of another man or of a woman. Yes way worse in the second case, and one should show a lot more restraint, a lot more. I'm just against the no-nuanced stance of you "never hit a woman". It takes a lot to justify doing so but yes there are cases when it is justified. It doesn't mean I approve of what Hunt did in any way, he was not. You White Knights have no common sense. Thankfully courts handle this and not you guys.

And that makes HER look much better? What's with you seeing these classless gals as beyond reproach? They can be as bad as some men can be bad.

I suppose you had missed my other post: Oh I fully agree he should NOT have done this. It doesn't mean it was a "real kick". Shove is indeed more accurate. But that doesn't mean I suddenly approve it because it's a shove, after all he did too. But degrees, are they so hard to understand? This is bad, but certainly not "Ray Rice level" kind of bad. You know, we can agree on almost everything but for me considering it a shove while for you it's vile kick. Nuances and degrees exist. And if you don't notice, she kept going after him, even after the initial shove by Hunt. Now, I'm not saying she was actually a physical threat to him at all, she could have been just a loudmouth annoyance. But when you write "If she persists, go to the police. Something. Anything. But don't touch the girl". Really? If she had kept pressing on he had to wait for the police? Her woman-status gives her endless immunity? Again we seem to agree on what we saw, Hunt was overboard. I just don't get you guys putting women on angelic pedestals. and BTW police would do nothing, unless they arrest you as she would accuse you of violence - and that is if ever they arrive in time! My view as well.

Oh I fully agree he should NOT have done this. It doesn't mean it was a "real kick". Shove is indeed more accurate. But that doesn't mean I suddenly approve it because it's a shove, after all he did too. But degrees, are they so hard to understand? This is bad, but certainly not "Ray Rice level" kind of bad.

If you consider that a "real kick" I wonder how you feel when Hauska boots his 50 yarders ha ha. BTW I wonder how painful must be to get kicked in the butt by a NFL kicker! Ouch

I fully agree but try explaining that to the White Knights on here. According to them you sir are OK with beating up women, you POS! (Nuance ain't exactly their strong point)

You are so brave. So enlightened. So manly. I will engrave all my TBD posts on my tombstone. It'll be a long one. Like if you listed all your virtues. I and other posters bring up nuanced points. You pinpoint only what you want to make yourself feel good. Bravo. Now reply all you want.

Did you watch the video? Hunt did act like a POS, but he didn't strike her(unless you count that weak kick) though the HARD push from behind against the guy that also took the woman down was overboard. So, according to you, it would have been OK if only the guy had fallen? This "poor woman" that obviously is causing trouble and supposedly attacked another woman is immune because she has got a *****? I am FOR him being suspended, that was over the line, no doubt, if by the duration alone and him continuing on. But stop with the "women are precious little angels" crap! She wasn't exactly acting like a lady here! No it does NOT justify Hunt's overreaction. I'm just sick of this lack of common sense and "you never ever push or hit a woman" crap. And what Ray Rice did was waaaaayyy worse and truly "hitting a woman".

The "kick" is so mild it doesn't deserve a special mention, no need to be ridiculous! What he did put together certainly does though. And some of your seriously equate this with Ray Rice KOing his GF with a powerful left hook and dragging her unconscious body? Really? He'll get 6 games or the like though I wish the courts would hand down the sentences, not the NFL. He sure can forget about sponsorship money too. And why does this comes out now?

I loved that they beat the Jags, even though the Jets lost so pick ahead of us. But hell yeah, have Allen help the team beat the Cheatriots in Foxboro would be awesome for team morale. It would carry on all off season too. Good showing by Allen and the Offense would help draw a good WR free agent too. It's not all about draft picks! And after the 2nd round, that a team picks 4th or 20th is a lot less relevant.

The point of this thread is a legitimate question, and to me it's absurd that it is so. NFL should have a lottery system just like the NHL for the teams that don't make the playoffs.

I have too changed my stance with him. I still think he really lacks some things, but he does adjust to his players, which is a GOOD trait for coaches. Not a "system" coach that forces his players into it.

Josh's attitude since the very first seconds of getting picked in the draft has been awesome. It really has. He has never wavered, is always upbeat enthusiastic, etc. A leader. I still love him circling "ready" in the newspaper a fan had brought for him to sign that had his picture with the title "ready or not?"

Saquon is the exception. I loooooovveee Shady, but overall I think OLinemen are more important to the run game. Just look at the Steelers this year or even McCoy without Incognito... But Saquon is a superstar, no doubt. So is McCaffrey but very different players. I thought the Giants were dumb to pick him with the 2nd overall pick but he is that good. Add the signing of Solder, one would have thought the Giants really improved this year! Goes to show even seemingly good plans don't always produce...

I just wish the BILLS would use SHADY the same way! And put Ivory in there at the same time once in a while. Keep these D guessing! And as for McCaffery, he's been good since Day One, so not sure I get the timing of this thread!

Time to pay the Bills? Actually IDK ha ha. But I like it. Every time he and Shady do these, you can sense the chemistry.

Well thanks the no spoiler title and even some of the early comments, I didn't think he'd won when I watched it. I think the last play deserved it yet I was so thrilled. First thing I watched this morning and I was PUMPED. It's clear I have a serious mancrush LOL

You'll know if he starts practicing golf swings on the sideline during games

in an ideal world, this. If they want to play and accept a low base salary plus incentives, keep'em for sure. It would be awesome for them to experience the turn around of the team. It depends as much on them as the team. As backups they would still be good and bring their immense knowledge and leadership. Some vets like this to continue on playing, some prefer to retire.

Greatest thing of all yesterday, was that the way Allen - and our rookies - played, we got HOPE back. After the losses, man did it suck or what! Who wants to only think of the 2019 season by mid October???? But now that we've settled in, with the cap space money in the next two years, the picks, and most of the current pieces remaining, the future looks VERY promising. Along with Josh's progress, the 2019 and 2020 drafts will determines the Bills next 5-10 years. The team could FINALLY be back to NFL domination. I hope Brady and Bellichik are still there to get pounded. No guarantees but at least real hope is back. Not a just making the playoffs but of getting back to domination mode.
