Actually I think his point was that modern NFL broadcasts are becoming too much like that reality garbage you're referring to.
imo, he is 100% correct.
But great job missing the point and insulting a good guy for no reason.
I didn’t see an insult in there. His post came off a tad aggressive but he’s kinda right.
What are the guys options? He can either get on board and accept that things change with time, or he can find something else to do with that time.
If he wants to plop himself In front of a tv and get entertained, it’s sports (all of which have become a bit of a spectacle) or new tv shows.
I kinda think you guys are missing the point a bit. The NFL is huge, it’s only going to get bigger and more grandiose. You can either accept that and enjoy it for what it is, or just sit there hating every minute of it because it wasn’t what it once was. That’s your call, but if I felt that way I’d want to find something else to do with that time.

I hate to say it, but I don't feel that they want guys like me as consumers anymore. I don't tune in for theatrics, politics, or the type of pop music that litters this "spectacle."
And then, we finally get to the true reason that those who are their loyal, week-in and week-out customers tune in, and then they have systems in place which allow for 1 of 7 underpaid, part-time officials to ruin our primary focus. They take the game and turn it into a mockery.
All of this thrown together, and it gives me the feeling I have better ways to waste my Sunday afternoons. Goodell & the NFL are ruining something I've loved since childhood.
And I even wanted (ever so slightly) for the Chiefs to win.
I definitely don’t have all the same feels as I used to. I can still get amped for big games, though only Bills games.
Last night was “meh” for me. But mostly because I didn’t care about either team.
I feel like most of that is just getting older though. Things just kinda lose a little luster with time. Like Ally Sheedy said in the coming of age classic “when you grow up, your heart dies.”
It’s a bit on the dramatic side, but comes with some truth. With that said, there are lots of things I loved as a kid that I couldn’t care less about now. If the NFL bugs you this much, maybe it’s one of those things for you.
No shame in it. Just do something else for a while. Maybe you’ll come back to it when you can watch for the what it promises, which is entertainment. If it’s not entertaining you, find something that does.

Nah… it’s even more obvious than that.
It’s pretty simple, Von Miller was the missing piece. We needed a rush and before he was hurt we were like third in the league at qb pressures. We looked excellent. After the injury, we were in the mid 20’s and our db’s were getting picked on with the lack of rush.
When he went down so did our SB hopes. It’s as easy as that.
Now we’re going to lose a bunch of pieces and it’ll take a magical effort from Beane in the offseason to keep this train rolling.
I know that simplification lacks the drama of “softer than custard” but it’s the truth. That “don’t blink” motto he brought to the team resonated with them. Once he was off the sidelines and field to remind them, they got caught blinking.

I don’t know what everyone is expecting him to say? We all wanted him to push his chips and go all-in.
He did that, his second ace fell off the table (Von) and we lost the hand.
All he can say is we have to lie in the bed we made. We have Josh, Von comes back, we’re going to lose a few guys but we have our draft picks and we should still be able to make a few deals, though not blockbusters.
That’s where we are. It’s not like everyone didn’t know this would be the issue if we didn’t win it all. I mean, unless you’re a n00b, you saw the writing on the wall.
It’s certainly not the most enviable position, but it’s far from the worst. We have a franchise qb, and some good pieces.
He’s 100% right. With Josh we’ll never be a bottomed out, draft top five team. We’ll have to be creative. Which Beane is, so, yeah, that’s where we are.

Just happened to me in Pittsburgh last weekend.
On a side note, why do the Bills always get crapped on for their stadium? Pittsburgh’s looks Grossville.

I like Bill Burr and I liked it until he said we care about the Pats, but they dont care about us.
It reminded me how much I dislike that some of our own fans think we had a rivalry with them. We didn’t, we were never good at the same time. The only real rivalry between the two teams were in some bills fans heads. They looked down on us for 20 years, and now it’s our turn to return the favor.
Pats are yesterdays news, time to turn the page. If anything the only rivalry being renewed is with the Dolphins!

I think it’s fair. KC did what they needed to do. It’s not their fault we didn’t finish our game.
With that said, we did kinda get a bye week Bengals week(offense played one drive, defense played a drive and a half), and now it’s guaranteed we don’t have to go to arrowhead.
It’s not perfect, but there’s no guarantee we won that game against Cinci. They were playing hot, and they got the short end of the deal as well. Is what it is.

Crazy how one play can completely change a season, huh?
Last year, the QB sneak against Tennessee cost the Bills the #1 seed and now this one play could end up doing the same.
Sure, if you just look at it that way. You’d have to consider every play that we either made or didn’t make as well then.
Outside of the blowout games, every team that lost to us by one score can say the same thing. “One play.” That’s the game and why winning is hard.

I didn’t read the whole thread, so I dont know if it was mentioned but they tried hurtling our D twice too.
They were definitely fired up and wanted to make a point, showing Josh isn’t the only guy that can hurdle. Though theirs didn’t look as pretty as Josh’s since the D did a good job tangling them up mid jump.

Actually he joined the raiders because Rodgers told him that he might retire after this season or next season. Obviously Adams didn’t like what he was seeing from Love otherwise he probably would’ve stayed. Especially since GB was offering more guaranteed money than LV
That’s not what Adam’s said. I think I’ll take his word over a random Bills fan on a Buffalo Bills message board.

How am I wrong? Please explain, he isn't a good QB and he won't be with the team after this year. Please show me where I am wrong.
Believe in your PR bull#### all you want, money is the driving factor. Adams won't be playing with Carr so by your logic he will be leaving the Raiders to follow Carr.
I already pointed out where you were wrong. You said he didn’t join the Raiders to be on a team with Carr. He said he did, with his own mouth.
You and I both know a contracted player can’t just leave a team because he’s unhappy. So your logic about my logic is flawed.
There’s zero benefit for Adams to say he went there to work with Carr after he’s been sat, and is almost assuredly cut in the off-season other than letting the team know he’s unhappy with the choice.
Just freakin’ admit you were wrong. All it will do is build a strong trust and bond for us going forward. Don’t you want that for us?!

I was laughing at the fact you take everything seriously, just like now... on the internet. Are you Derek's parents or something you seem to care a lot about this guy.
Whatever team makes the wrong decision and picks him up will just be getting a worse draft pick the year after b/c that is all a QB like him can give you.
I take everything too seriously? Maybe you have me confused with someone else.
I have zero interest in Carr or the Raiders, I was just pointing out that Devante said the exact opposite of what you suggested.
You can just admit when you’re wrong, it’s not that big a deal.
Bwah-hahahahahahaRoflRoffelhaha!’n!!

More than saying he did it for the money. Come on man don't be gullible.
Guess you believed Tyreek Hills comments on Tua also when he went to the Dolphins. Hahahaha
Do you always laugh maniacally after finishing your thought, or is that an internet thing?
Either way it gives me a big ol’ case of the creeps.

You're right b.c it would be the first time ever a player would say something for PR purposes.
What could he possibly gain from that?

Adams left b.c of money them being college teammates was a coincidence.
He has never been that good
I mean, maybe he’s lying but he just flat out said he went to the Raiders because of Carr.
“"Obviously, I don't think anybody was excited about it in here," Adams said, via Levi Edwards of the Raiders. "Him being one of my really good friends and the reason why I came here in the first place. I mean, I wouldn't be here right now if he wasn't here. I think everybody knows how I feel about him. With that said, this is the process of how things go, and I'm not gonna sit here and go on and on, but obviously I support my guy, and we gotta finish the season out the best way we can possible with all things considered at this point."”

There’s got to be more to this story. I mean, he has his own line of bleu cheese, hot sauce, bbq sauce. There’s absolutely no way he’d just attach his name to something he didn’t have a hand in creating or at least a small interest in!

Why announce it now? Why not just play out the season then announce?He wanted to get his chance in the media. Probably knows of some other big names retiring (Brady, maybe?) and realizes his news will be dwarfed.

It’s all in fun, you need to re-lax!
Go get yourself a new years massage or something. Not a Watson massage. Just a regular old massage should do.

I’m okay with it.
I’m sure Kelly would sign off on it. Nice little tie in.

Look, I can catch a wet ball. I’ve done it many times in my sandlot career. Frozen, wet, overfilled, underfilled. But I’m not a professional athlete making millions to do just that.

Valid points. I mean Davis is squarely in the 20th-40th range in terms of most WR stats this year and is on pace for 942 yards and 8-9 TDs. Already has a career high in yards.
If there are 32 #1 WRs statistically, #2 WRs would fall between 33-64 logically. He is well within that range.
If people are disappointed in him, it largely is because they had unrealistic expectations to begin with. Only so many balls to go around.
Probably Madden related...that game has caused more ridiculous and unrealistic expectations over the last few decades than anything else.
Madden related? Get outta here.
He was primed to take that next step. It hasn’t really worked out that way, but one only has to look at our division rivals the Dolphins to see a realistic comp of what people were expecting.
Everyone was saying the same thing you are about the Bills. Only so many balls to go around, etc. Waddle certainly has the edge on Gabe, but the Bills have Josh. His ridiculous arm, and play extending legs in a pass happy offense should have been more than enough to stay on par with those two. Not unrealistic, imo.

Brick-By-Brick, the NFL Losing Me As A Fan
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
The Bills started out the season being third in qb pressures and looked excellent.
Once Von went down, we were in the mid 20’s and our dbs were getting picked on. Like you stated we then looked mediocre.
When Von went down, so did our SB bid.
