    It's hilarious when I hear people say I wish a radio broadcaster would stop talking when all you have to do is hit a button to another channel or listen to a sports podcast for free.

     

    Outrage culture.  Everyone want's their wining to be heard! "Look at me, look at how angry I can get, I want satisfaction!"

    Why does every difference of opinion have to be tribalist in nature? And I would argue that fandom is the LAST F-ing thing society should or needs to be tribal about. If you’ve boiled every aspect of discourse down to tribalism, then yeah, you’ve missed the point. Entirely.  

     

    And while I don’t agree that anyone reporting on the NFL is incapable of truth, many of them do work for outlets that depend on ad clicks to drive revenues. But that’s on us to recognize the difference. Caveat emptor. 

    We live in an era of extreme stances with no middle ground and every single fan can have a voice and get the attention of even the players themselves via social media.

     

    As someone said before, we had this same infighting even in the 90's. I had an Aunt who absolutely despised Jim Kelly and was all too happy to point out that all the SB losses were because Jim Kelly sucked.

     

    We are just repeating history in a diffetent era with different tools at our disposal.

    Glad that gives you a chuckle. Tribalism misses the point entirely, as well. 

    You're the one missing the point of fandom tbh. Anyone reporting on the NFL is looking for clicks not the truth.

    I find schoop and bulldog so hysterical. For the last year. Maybe more. They have joked about. Laughed at. Hung up on people that call in talking about RB. The position in the nfl doesn’t matter anymore according to them. ALL DAY LONG, yesterday, all they talked about is Wade and that he needs a shot against better competition. He should be played like all game this week against Detroit. All that. Nothing but WAde talk all day from them. So comical.

    Schopp finds things he knows the Bills would not be on board with and harps on those topics to make himself look right. If the Bills continue to lose this shock jock method will continue to get ratings. If the Bills ever do start winning, it will be interesting to see what their show will become because the constsnt negativity will no longer work.

    i think this concept of “sides” misses the issue completely as it relates to competitive team sports. 

     

    lol, welcome to tribal human nature. Most fans are not going to do any type of logical analysis. We don't do that in relationships, we don't do that in politics, and we definitely don't do that with sports.

    Criticism isn’t the issue. It’s the level of analysis that precedes it. The stance that Schopp and others take are often myopic at best. 

    We all use whatever we have to support our agendas. Allen superfans do the same...

     

    Just have to see how the season goes. My take is that neither side will get a clearcut victory. Allen will likely be a middle of the road QB this season.

    His coaches and teammates have a part in it, too. 

     

    Yes, but there will always be valid criticisms of the Allen pick unless he makes it impossible to question the selection.  Not saying it is fair, but that's where it stands. There's tons of people who take the stance Schopp takes, and there is only one way they will ever shut up.

  8. So, instead of whining, why don't you just wait until Allen is awesome in the regular season when it counts?  Then Schopp won't have a leg to stand on. There is only one person that can stop the Josh Allen bashing and that is Josh Allen, it's all up to him.

    So expect less sports talk, like Schopp, who can't shut up about talking about his kids.

     

    That said, best wishes and good health to his wife and kids. 

     

     

    He also changed his tune on black athletes after he adopted black children. I recall him blasting D'Bick's parents for incorrectly spelling and pronouncing the name they chose for their kid, it was an obvious dig at the unintelligent low IQ stereotype. Now he's all about the NFL being against guys like Tyrod and Lamar, while hating on the big white guys like Allen. So transparent.

    Lol, 28 is definitely NOT old. I consider that still young and in prime.

     

    He's had a full rugby career, all the associated wear and tear etc. 28 isn't old, but for an NFL RB it is.  Yes, there are exceptions, but I'd rather just keep drafting early 20 year old's and recycling them every 3 -4 years never having to pay them big money. 

     

    Wade is a cool story, but I doubt he makes the 53, they already have too many RB's.

    I see a lot of Aaron Rodgers in him.  Quick release,  huge arm and accurate.  Just need the Oline to step up and keep Allen on his feet and we may, just may, have something special.

    Wow, not sure I'd be comparing Allen to Rodgers and Brady like some of you are just yet.
