they are not winning a Super Bowl because of that Mahommes guy that we gifted them. Yea i get it he's a punter. But the one we have is mediocre at best. If watching Mahommes win every year doesn't make you sick you are not a true Bills fan. The hits just keep coming.
Martin is mediocre sure. Let’s wait and see on al least a couple of actual games that count on Araiza before we start boohoo’ing about him like you’re doing about Mahomes though, maybe?-

There are several factors that aid in the defense against that charge in CA and yeah, Araiza had them at his disposal. DAs only bring cases that can reasonably succeed and I believe that’s why the DA didn’t bring the criminal charge, ultimately. Araiza and the others had good reason to believe the woman was 18 or older.
Agreed - of course the DA looked into all possible charges including the statutory rape charge. They knew they had no shot of conviction on that either. -

That's fair. If anything, MA has a lot more evidence for a lawsuit against SDSU and the SDPD, discovery would be fascinating. A college football player having sex with a woman isn't illegal, dare i say there wouldn't be very many players in the NFL if it was. The fact that this woman absolutely tried to get rich by lying should cost her something but I guess that just not how things work.
Not to nitpick - an adult having sex with a 17 year old woman is illegal in CA (although he had defenses available to him.) -

A tiny, tiny fraction of what was said in the wake of the MA false accusation. Or are you claiming there was the same level of outrage but the Bills didnt react because of what, exactly? Too much money tied up in the player? That's not really a good look either.
It’s not a “look” good or bad. It’s a team living in the real world with real financial considerations that need to be balanced with image and PR concerns. As far as calculating the “fractions of outrage” I’ll leave that to you and this head canon you’ve concocted to fill us in on the numbers.
You were originally implying some sort of bad precedent being set with MA’s release and now were swiftly on to something else entirely after people helpfully replied how you were dead wrong. How many more times are you planning on moving the goalposts here it’s getting difficult to keep up.

My point is that it was a reaction to the mob. The mob was mysteriously muted when the accusations against Von Miller came out. The double standard is "can we score cheap points by doing something that costs us nothing?" versus "damn we might actually need that guy later, let's sweep this under the rug"
Uh, plenty of media people and regular folks were saying the Bills should try to find a way out of Von’s contract after his arrest last year. The fact that you didn’t hear about that (or chose to ignore it) doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. -

Which is why they shouldn't have just reacted to the mob demanding they cut ties. They have now created an expectation that a sufficiently serious accusation requires an immediate response that all ties with a player get cut. Hard to see how this could possibly go wrong.
No bad precedent was set. You yourself pointed out the Bills’ double standard with Von Miller’s arrest. Cameron Sutton was cut following DV charges and was unemployed a whole two months before getting a contract with the Steelers. Your slippery slope fear mongering has no basis in reality.Teams can and will examine these issues from a PR risk perspective on a case by case basis and take whatever action they deem best for the team. As they’ve been doing all along.

This is not about "Any other team". The Bills were in the driver's seat and chose to walk away. When the other teams saw this, no doubt they felt "Well, the Bills must know something we don't".
In the end, nothing kept them from bringing him back in and ultimately, signing him.
Lol. It was reported at the time that at least a few other teams DID know more than the Bills did - they took him off their draft boards because they knew he was being investigated by the campus police. So your assumption on why other teams didn’t sign him up is just false.
As far as “nothing” preventing them from bringing him back, I’d bet Araiza himself would have some say in that happening.

NO CHOICE?
Seriously?
Yes. No choice.
Again, any other team could have picked him up any time after the Bills released him. ANYTIME (since you appreciate caps lock.) None did.
It wasn’t until after both the DA investigation was completely concluded and the civil suit was completely settled in Araiza’s favor that he was brought in by KC. (Yes I’m aware the Jets brought him in briefly but nothing came of that.)
That alone should tell you that every other team in the league would have done the exact same thing the Bills did.

Ah yes but he has an unbreakable contract and was a good DE at one point so he can beat all the women he likes.
At this point who cares, the Bills did what they did but pretending it was some sort of high moral ground positioning rather than cynical calculus is just BS
No one is claiming the Bills cut him on moral grounds. The team itself never said it was releasing him as some sort of signal of solidarity with the alleged victim or abused women in general. You’re arguing with yourself. -

So many people are giving you crap. I’m here to say I agree with you. Your not the only one who’s lost faith in this team and the people that are responsible for running it/coaching it.
lol. And yet you’re here, everyday, posting about the new stadium and getting tickets and oh so eager to hand them more of your money. Funny how the “faithless” act.-

He’s not even punting all that well yet for KC. But I guess every single time he does have a great punt we’re going to re-litigate it here? Can’t wait to read the same 4 insufferable “experts” on criminal law.
There was no good option at the time. There was no “reserve” list to place him on. You really think the Bills would waste a roster spot on a 2nd punter who couldn’t play while his case played out? Right.

What I saw reported was they had a verbal agreement he'd play out the 2024 season under his current deal and then they'd work out a long term extension. Reddick changed his mind though apparently.
Thanks Doc. There was a bunch of stuff (most of it probably nonsense) being said around the time of the trade.-

Well if you believe the reporting from his trade to the Jets in March the understanding was an immediate extension was implied. Not sure if the Jets lowballed him or he‘s simply holding out for an unreasonable amount. The Jets are a pathetic organization so the former wouldn’t surprise me.

Every single year people here start these cringy “let’s give X a nickname and make it a thing.”
It’s never a good idea.

Yes. Can’t be afraid of injuries.
in the regular season yes. In BS preseason games no. -
Love the blatant alarmism with the “developing an ankle issue” phrasing. As if Allen is breaking down and developing some sort of chronic condition when there is absolutely zero evidence of that. He turned it and got it taped up. Hit the freaking panic button.
the trolls here used to be more subtle.

Mack Hollins hasn't really gotten a lot of buzz around here. Many have been dismissive of him, and few people posting on here have shown any level of enthusiasm for the acquisition. Personally, I thought he was a solid pickup as a situational player, and probable replacement for Siran Neal on ST. Others expressed everything from confusion, to anger over his signing. The emojis given on the first post of the thread that announced his signing back in March offer a pretty good cross-section of the attitudes surrounding him on this forum: (1)👍, (2)🤮, (2)🙄, (3)😢, (2)😝, (1)🍺
But since OTAs have started, I've been struck by how much he has been talked about-- not by Bills fans (who would much rather debate the potential of Claypool and/or MVS), but by Brandon Beane, and especially Josh Allen. Josh has brought him up at least a couple times now during a press conference, and notably in the link below on NFL's Insiders, saying that he "has been such a great addition so far to that room with his mentality, his mindset is infectious to others."
Beane has made similar comments in response to questions that were not specifically about Hollins. In a season in which Beane has felt it necessary to add leaders to the team (with the departure of so many vets), has Hollins established himself as a near lock for the 53?
I believe he’s almost certain to make the 53 for all these reasons you’ve already stated.
As far as fans not being enthused enough by his signing, did you really expect a different reaction? There’s nothing about his career up to this point that would generate any sort of excitement from the average fan.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the drafts in recent memory (since they’ve been roving) haven’t been held at the football stadiums, but in an arena or outdoors venue in a downtown area.
So… waiting for the new stadium to be completed isn’t really a requirement. But it would be completed before a possible 2027 announcement. Although it will have been in Detroit, Green Bay, & Pittsburgh by then, so unless they’re doing all of the Rust Belt in a row….
No one is saying the draft has to be held in or around the stadium - so where would you host the draft in downtown Buffalo and where would you house all those that attended?
Ticket purchasing advice ???

That’s a decent deal already but yeah if you wait you’ll get better prices.
