    Drew Brees getting backfire from fellow athletes over flag and kneeling remarks

    I disagree that their opinions hold as much weight as yours or mine.

    MILLIONS of people are likely to hear Brees' opinion. Not so much yours. And whether he likes it or not, many young people look up to him as an example. The opinions of athletes -- and all famous public figures, really -- carry more weight than yours or mine. 

    And I disagree with Brees. For anyone to still think kneeling wasn't justified or is just about "disrespecting the flag", well...If the events of the past week haven't opened up your eyes to the importance and necessity of Kaepernick's protest, I suggest that nothing ever will.

    To many men and women of all races have died for our freedoms. We have too many men and women still on foreign soil to this day keeping us safe. Find another way to make your voice heard than to disrespect what they died for and what those Stars and Stripes represent. I am right there with anyone else who wants to bring change and shine a light on racism and inequality but I absolutely disagree with kneeling for the national anthem and the presentation of our stars and strips. Let me ask you this what else has Colin done to bring awareness to his cause other than kneeling ? Nothing he does nothing on his own time he doesn’t organize anything he hasn’t made his way to Washington to speak to our leaders on either side of the isle to demand change. All he has done was kneel for the national anthem. His opinion about the flag and the national anthem may be viewed as right to some but to others like me it is criticized. And so is Brees opinion I agree with him and others may disagree and that’s fine it doesn’t mean either man has to change their opinion but they have to live with the consequences of their choices. But do you know why they are free to voice that opinion...? Because of the thousands of men and women who died to give them that freedom and ensure their life and liberty to do so. Find another way to make your point than on the lives of others.

    Get more Veterans. This year will be a weird year trying to get impacts from Rookies with Virtual Off-seasons

    I’ve been thinking the same thing this is the year to go after vets. Who won’t have setbacks from the lack of direct contact and training from our staff. 

    First Half wasn't as awful as everyone is saying

    In review of yesterday's game, I keep reading how terrible and ineffective the Bills offense was until the 4th Quarter.  I completely disagree.

    Were they mistake prone and sloppy at times?  Absolutely.

    But when you really break it down, the offense was consistently putting together strong drives for a good chunk of the day.

     

    On the day, the Bills had the ball a total of 12 times. 

    - One possession was the kneel down at the half. 

    - One possession was running out the clock at the end of the game.

    - Then you have the Cole Beasley bounce (pretty much a fluke), which was returned for a touchdown.  This drive was one play.

    - Then you have the safety (bad call by the refs), which also lasted one play.

     

    That leaves 8 true possessions for the Bills offense.

    1.  Drive #1 (7 plays, 37 yards):  They easily marched down the field to the Jets 26 yard line.  Then Dion Dawkins missed a block, resulting in the sack/strip.

    2.  Drive #3 (9 plays, 35 yards):  Another drive into scoring position, until the Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty on Jon Feliciano.

    3.  Drive #4 (3 plays, 7 yards):  This was a really bad series, which also included the INT that was overturned by penalty.

    4.  Drive #5 (9 plays, 58 yards):  Yet another very strong drive, ended by the botched snap on the QB sneak.

    5.  Drive #6 (5 plays, 30 yards):  The offense was starting to move again.  Then we have the tipped pass, which was also intercepted.

    6.  Drive #9 (9 plays, 50 yards):  Ended in our first 3 points of the day.

    7.  Drive #10 (8 plays, 85 yards):  Touchdown

    8.  Drive #11 (8 plays, 80 yards):  Touchdown

     

     

    Bottom line... On a snap-by-snap basis, I felt like the Bills controlled the game on both sides.  Defense was outstanding all day.  The offense had some really bad bounces and bad luck.  They had some really bad mistakes at the wrong time.  The narrative is that something "woke the offense up" during the 4th quarter.  In reality, I think we just figured out how to finish our drives.

     

    Been saying the same thing, We moved the ball very well on all of our drives against a very good defense. Looking forward to this week.
