    Yes. That is how police encounters work. Under any circumstance, you have to comply. If you do not, the police will use the appropriate amount of force to achieve compliance. Once force is introduced, the situation becomes unpredictable and you risk serious injury and/or death.  That is true regardless of race, and the suggestion that it is "odd" that failure to comply could result in serious injury is absurd. Does anyone really believe they can say "no" to the police? 

    This is pretty much the way I understand things to be too. Apparently the problems begin when some think that noncompliance is optional!!

    Look you can’t tell everything from a video either. I watched the available videos of Big Ed’s episode. He seemed to be very respectful on the outside and the police also showed nothing out of the ordinary. But we can’t tell what’s being said by either party! We can’t get all the details from just a video! The same as Floyd’s murder! We can see that from the video and the autopsy report that his life was ended by that cop! Intentionally is the issue. We have no way of knowing what that cop was thinking or even every absolute bit of evidence that a jury will be going through later! To do so is only speculation!!!

     

    Ed needs to be careful here as far as what he says. He certainly can have his own opinion but is it fact? If there are no real reasons for that cop to think that he was drunk than he certainly should have been released immediately!! And if there is real evidence to show that he was detained without reason than by all means make a stink about it!! Make sure that it’s real and not partly hype! I have heard of and experienced being pulled over for no reason. I think all of my black friends have told of it happening to them!! I can speculate that maybe some of them are not being totally upfront but certainly not most that I know. See the danger of speculation in that statement??!

  2. I think he should have just split the 15 million up and given it to the underprivileged! How dare he make this capitalist move by buying something at rock bottom value and attempting to increase it thru intelligence, creativity and hard work!!!? 

    Obviously sarcasm here. I hope it works out for him!!

    I pledge allegiance to the flag

    Of the United States of America

    And to the REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS

     

    The flag stands for the republic, not necessarily what folks who are against kneeling suggest.  

     

    One nation, under God, indivisible

    WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL

     

    So is there liberty and justice for all?  That’s the issue being protested.

    You are right. There should be justice for all! It’s worth fighting for. And our brothers no matter there ethnicity need help at times. Things need to change  in some areas such as  with police brutality and racial profiling. Unlike what the media tends to portray there are many good cops but/this stuff happens way to much. We as a country can do better! Not perfect but better! 

    It’s not against the law to kneel during the national anthem and many folks tend to look past it. Myself included. I actually admire Kaepernick’s courage but not his choices at times. His cause is just but his methods not so much IMO.He and others insist that there is no disrespect meant toward military. I believe that. This country is a republic and that means that the public or the people own and govern!! . Not a King or dictator who owns everything and rules over everyone. Our obligation as citizens is to each other not to a king!! We also have an obligation to fight injustice!! Kneeling during the anthem was a great way to get attention to his cause but making it a every game, during the anthem protest, was not probably a wise choice. If he didn’t want it to be disrespectful of our union as a country then perhaps kneel at other times as some here have suggested. Or maybe refusing to play the first series for example. Kap took it upon himself with help and has definitely paid a price for his actions. He shouldn’t expect to voice his opinion and not take the heat and consequences. Taking legal actions to regain what he felt was lost income made it seem to be about him and not the cause. And little things like his disrespectful socks at a team practice wasn’t helpful either. But what he is fighting for is worth attaining. Do we have to kill and destroy to accomplish that?! Do we have to destroy the things that are meant to bind us together(anthem)in order to cast out the parts that should never have been to begin with(racism)!!?

     Some of my family members have shared their own experiences with racism. The root cause is simple. Sin!! That applies to us all!!

  4. If these players/ political activists really want to show how “dedicated” they are to the cause. Then take a knee for the first series. Oh wait that would really make a statement!! They might even get fined and get even more attention! But no! We are just going to protest during the anthem.

    So as a white person Drew Brees now has no right voicing his opinion, one that I agree with. Racism goes both ways, it just isn't covered so thoroughly by the media when it is the other way around. This is a complete S&it S%how in my opinion. What exactly did he say that was wrong, the National Anthem IMO is never a place to protest?

    I’ve voiced that same opinion of Kap and the anthem protests on here also. Not saying that there isn’t unjust things that happen to blacks and others in this country. I have family members who have told me what it’s like to be other than whIte. Targeted by police at times etc.... it shouldn’t be that way!!! Kap wasn’t wrong IMO. Neither is Brees. Our country isn’t perfect and there certainly is disunity amongst us but the anthem is a moment when we should lay our differences aside!

     

     I would like to encourage others to respectfully listen to experiences that others have growing up and living as a minority. It helped me to see a little more clearly things that I have never experienced first hand or at least not often. 

    I also would add that there are those amongst us that want to see this country brought down. Not referring to Kap here. But they do exist and it’s important to have something to bring us together even if it’s for just a couple of minutes. The anthem is one but so is our shared love of football. Specifically the Bills. Some things are worth preserving!!

    You're right, and I'll go beyond that.   Josh Allen is going to eliminate his weaknesses.   

     

    Listening to this coach, listening to McBeane talk about why they drafted him, it's clear to me that Allen is a learning machine.   He wants to keep learning how to win.   That's the point the coach makes about Josh learning to dial back his desired to do everything himself.   He's learning that's not the way to win.   He's learning how far to dial it back, and when to turn it up a notch.  

     

    This notion that he's a learning machine is what makes me expect him eventually to play with great discipline, like Brady.    Josh is learning, game after game, what things maximize the chances of winning, and he's incorporating those things into his game.   In another couple of years we're going to be looking at a guy with one of the great arms in the history of game who has learned to eliminate his mistakes.   INTs will be low, fumbles will be low, completion percentage will be high, and he will be one of the most dangerous weapons in the NFL.  

     

    Believe it.   It's coming.   That's who Allen is.   He's over the hump already, and he isn't close to being finished learning.  

    I have had that same belief in Josh since early on. Probably the Vikings game of his rookie season. He just does some things that other Qbs can’t. Throws, hurdling linebackers, diving for what seemed like 5 yards to reach the goal line!! Yet not many ints. I just haven’t had the guts to predict it happening. Wait and see approach. He is going to take this team somewhere special!!

    Wow. Way to suck all the enthusiasm out of this thread. And literally for no reason at all. Guess you’re “that guy”...

    Yeah it probably comes with age. Too many clips of past players working out in the offseason together and then dashed expectations or hopes at least! I shouldn’t probably be so hard on those that dare to believe! It might  surprise you that I have a lot of belief in Josh. I think he could be special, eventually!! And someone here commented about how good it is just for these guys to get together and see what makes each other tick. To bond. 

    One of these pictures did give me a little less concern for Josh’s accuracy. Brown and Beasley aren’t that big. Josh hooked up well with both!!

    Cool!   BRING IT Bring It. Take your phone & go record a video of yourself throwing a 30 yard corner route to someone. Could be a friend or family member, maybe a neighbor, whatever it takes. Show the forum what you can do!

    Obviously this is just the 1st clip of Josh throwing to Diggs. It doesnt prove theyre gonna have a Hall of Fame career together, it doesn't prove anything. Its just a hype video for some & a behind the scenes look at our guys practicing together for everyone else. Don't make it out to be anything more than it is. We saw a few passes in a minute long clip. Most realize its gonna take many days worth of practices to get them both acclimated to each other.

    Pretty sure most all of us could make that pass. The OP stated a “strong connection “. I’m not going to make it more than it is! Great they are getting to know each other, glad to see it. But does that really translate to the field like live reps with defenders? They all know that it doesn’t , but apparently some here don’t.

    This is a make it or break it year for Josh. If he cant start putting points on the board with the surrounding cast he has, they have to start considering bringing in competition, You really think their mind is made up? Sure they believe in him and are confident...but Mcbeane are not some homers who wear rose colored glasses...they know the jury is still out.

    Count me as a big fan of Josh Allen ,but yeah if he can’t produce with a much more loaded offense and the same system for 3 years then it won’t be long before the grumbling begins. Mcbeane are committed to building a perennial winner and I love that!!! 

  10. I’ve been trying to be cautiously optimistic about the acquisition of Diggs. But, I gotta say it’s not like drafting a “Watkins” and rolling the dice with what kind of professional you will get! Maybe it will work out, maybe not. Diggs is a known commodity! Tremendous will to compete and wants to win badly!! It sounds like that is what led to his problems in Minnesota. He knows he can be used more and he wasn’t. Of course things like injuries could keep him sidelined but if he is on the field he will be a difference maker. He will open this offense up! Josh will have to spread the ball around to keep defenses guessing but there is no question who is the primary target now!!!

    I'm just happy that this front office gets 'it' when it comes to drafting talent.  Some of those drafts from years ago were either us trying to put lipstick on a pig or making a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

    You said it! There’s the difference. Moss is a proven, mature, hard working young prospect. He should do well at the next level. Maybe not dominate as much as in college but it’s good to draft players that did dominate there! Especially with the kind of person he has shown to be so far. Kudos Beane!!
