Bobby Hooks

Bears just traded for Sweat, who now has all the leverage for a new contract. They will be very motivated to move this guy, though they’re going to have many suitors.

Beane better be in the secret laboratory with his sleeves rolled up and empty Mountain Dew bottles around him or I’m done with this team. My next step is a “I’m leaving the boards forever!” thread. Maybe that’ll get their attention!

I wrote to the Bills to pick him up like three times with no response. Anyone have a direct line? Can’t find anything on Google!

That and sometimes they wouldn’t listen anyway. They’re just waiting for you to stop talking so they can talk again. I used to like debating when I was younger. Now once I realize the person is incapable of listening or understanding I bow out. Not enough time on this planet for that type of shenanigans. One of the reasons I refuse to debate certain topics ie religion, politics, etc. they don’t want to hear a counter to their points. It’s rare to find someone that disagrees with you that will actually listen and discuss hot buttons.

I mean, to be fair there are probably lots of calls made and no one ever hears about them. It shouldn’t make him look anyway, because the info shouldn’t have been shared to begin with. Unless this was shared by the Bills to let the fans know they’re doing everything they can without actually having to do anything but make a phone call.

Josh was already kind of a head case. This was the last thing I wanted to read about him. The more he starts trying to fine tune his thinking the more he’ll be, well… thinking. We want Josh to think, but not be so in his head about it it starts him overthinking. Once you get caught in that cycle, things slow down, and start to take away from the things that made you special to begin with. The next cycle will be him trying to get back to not thinking so much, that will lead to mistakes and more overthinking and he’ll try to think more. Oof… this is not good. I believe he and the coaching staff need to start considering this is a bit of a lost season. Let him go out there and just doing it until he finds himself again. He needs a hard reboot.

I don’t love it. But we have to do something.

I think the issue is so beyond pointing out every single time it happens. We have an elite qb, we will live AND die with his play. Many have said he’s our Brett Favre. Simple, but very true. He’s a better Brett, don’t get me wrong. But he’s going to make mistakes and he’s going to have rotten games. Buckle up, this is our QB. Unfortunately, we had a lot of injuries, and those injuries have been to key players. Not many teams can take that kind of a lumping and keep going. For me, this season is not looking good. We lost last year when Von went out imo, and this year we lost when Tre, Milano, and Jones went out. Bums me out, but what can you do? We still have Josh in his prime. But things are only going to get more difficult as teams have definitely caught up. I also don’t feel good about Diggs going forward. I can’t see him being cool with a very bad season. Which this is a starting to look like.

None of that, eww… I made some five alarm faux beef chili!

Especially since Gabe has shown he can come up big in big spots. I don’t trust any of those guys over Gabe in the playoffs.

I completely disagree with this. I think BB lives by his own set of codes and ethics, and it’s all about what will help him win at the end of the day. He’s not above cheating or gaining any edge, which he’s proven year in and year out. If he thinks tanking to get his guy is the way to go, you’d better believe he’d do it.

Ouch. So… are we friends or what?

Yeah, but do you agree about the malcontent part?

Yeah, really. Let’s move on from the malcontent. He’s clown shoes.

I tried paintball for the first time a few years ago. My buddy and I have never played before. Before we started we both shot each other so we could get the first one out of the way, and to get an idea of what we were in store for. Not sure if that answers anything, what was the question again..?

All-star sandlot football, boys. Fastest one blue car to yellow truck in the neighborhood. My hands were known and discussed three counties over. The younger kids made football cards of me, you could trade it for a Joe Montana rookie back then. If only I could get my hands on one now. Early retirement, boys.

Old narrative? It was exactly what happened. I saw it with my own eyes. Kid looked pretty good as a rook. If you don’t agree that’s your call, but you’re not changing my opinion because you decide to post with randomly inserted capital letters. Also, you might want to look into what an excuse means. No one’s making excuses. He didn’t look good against the Jags. That’s the truth, but that doesn’t change that he was decent in his RoOkIE YeAr!

There’s a lot going on in here. He seemed pretty good as a rookie. He had some bad plays, but he also had some very good ones. I’ve liked Benford from the jump. But I didn’t see anything from Elam that made me think he couldn’t become a serviceable starter. This started when Mcd took the reins, I’m not saying Mcd is doing anything wrong, I like his D very much. But sometimes coaching styles and players don’t jive. That’s what I’m seeing here, imo. Whatever the reason Frazier had him looking like a promising rookie. Under Mcd he’s looking like the opposite. Maybe a swap of young cb’s not living up to their potential at the trade deadline? Worked with Hughes.

Like when he’s old? Why in the world would anyone put a good starting cornerback at the safety position? Not to mention, there’s more money at corner, if we tried cramming him back there when he’s proven to do the job at CB he’ll definitely take a walk when it’s time to pay him.

Nope.

Yeah, you can say what you want, and I can tell you how I feel about it. You just remind me of one of those Debbie downers that can’t be happy with anything. It’s always, “yeah, but we coulda did this too…” or “yeah, but we should’ve done this too…” it’s no way to live imo, but hey, you do you, bud. And I’ll continue to comment on it, cool bud?

Okay, so when people are talking about things they’re jazzed about (and you should be jazzed about as well) you think about missed opportunities? Still not great, bud. Do you do that in real life too, or just on message boards?

Okay, so if a post just has the word “draft” in it, positive thread or not, your thoughts go directly to the negative? That’s not great, bud.

So… this thread is pointing out how well the offensive line has been playing, and how our 2nd round pick looks like an absolute stud and you’re talking about how we missed on our third round pick? 🤦‍♂️ Remember… just a few weeks ago more people than not said our last third round pick was a giant fail. How has that worked out?

I can get down with that. But idk, if we’re going that route I think I’d make Josh Superman. He’d be a great Supes and Clark Kent.
