Can’t ask for much of a better start than that. Now we get to see if the anxiety over the defense is warranted.

Bills vs Jets AFC Championship Game this year I guess!

I sitll wish we had found a way to get Metcalf here.

Rodgers looks like poopoo.

Maybe the Colts are just really really good!!!

That was not what I anticipated.

lol of course

The Chiefs really might be cooked this year.

Sure wish there were more flags in this game.

I think we all saw this coming. Prater has a chance to take the job. Let's hope he's good enough that there's no argument about it.

Because I'm not a billionaire or a multinational corporation and apparently you missed the entire crux of my argument?

It actually is okay to steal from billionaires and it mosr definitely should be encouraged. The fact that you are saying that billionaires and working class and poverty class people should operate within the same ruleset is pretty bleak. The fact that you begrudge the people who somehow you “know” can afford things but “steals” anyway says more about you than them. At the macro level, you are wrong that shoplifting/theft impacts the price of things. It may impact the final bottom line for the retailer, but they are already charging as much as they can to give as little in return as possible. Any shoplifting impact is negligible and used as a scapegoat to increase prices because unfortunately people believe the “argument” you believe you are making. It doesnt make sense to imagine a Hershey’s theft/price inflation scenario so that’s not really worth examining. Not to mention the cocoa trade is one of the most problematic and exploitive trades on the literal planet. The assumption that billionaires and corporations are operating on the same moral and ethical plane as the rest of the world is absurd on its face. The common man should be doing everything he can to take back any shred of power and agency from these groups at every opportunity possible. So yeah. Steal that chocolate bar. Download the new Superman movie. Shoplift food and clothes for your family.

Not really sure basing an argument on how things were "back in the day" is a strong foundation on which to build. Some folks in this thread are being dense to the point where I hope they're trolling, or they're either just wildly out of touch and disconnected from the real world, or maybe the lead levels in their blood has finally reached a critical threshold. The NFL and the media giants which are attached two it are both inherently evil organizations owned and operated by some of the actual worst human beings alive on this planet. At this point in capitalism, they would not hesitate to actually kill you if it meant they could improve their bottom line, and guess what, a lot of them are indeed actually doing that to people all over the world, albeit at different rates depending on their method. Considering the fanbase of the Bills and the community from which it grew, I really expected a lot more sympathy for the struggling working class person in this thread. It must be delightful to be living such a privileged life that you can exist in a pure ethical and moral space, knowing you're always making the right and good choice. Good for you! I'm sure the powers that be will give you a nice little pat on the head and say thank you for playing along. Laughable to see people equating pirate streams with other forms of aggravated theft or stealing from your neighbor. Given the extreme economic disparity this country is currently facing and the almost endless number of reasons why we have arrived at this point, I can't say I really respect the opinion of anyone who isn't able to grasp the perspective of the little guy who is just doing what he can to survive, and you know, maybe actually have some joy in his otherwise mundane dog ***** life, even if he has to "steal" from a billion dollar mega corporation to find those few hours of escape from this garbage earth.

It is genuinely sad to see people defending corporations in the year 2025 because "stealing is bad no matter what." Get real. How do those boots taste?

Yup. Anyone who says he isn't a clear upgrade over what we have needs to immediately call their doctor and report their symptoms. I'm dead inside and don't deserve good things, but god I would love for us to pick him up.

Wow I can't believe we are going to lose to the Packers in the Super Bowl because of this trade.

I honestly think there’s a fair chance the Ravens absolutely smoke us. And even if that happens, I’m still not sure if Beane would make a trade to fix things. I really hope the defense overachieves but I’m not exactly confident at the moment.

Beyond shameful.

Time to end it all I guess.

I'm okay with that. The rules don't apply to the billionaire owners, who are in general garbage humans, so I fully support any player doing whatever he can to get his. We're all supposed to want a free market, right?

Hey pretty sure there's a movie coming out soon along the lines of this!

I mean, I'm pretty damn anti-corporate and think the NFL is a deeply problematic institution as much as I love the game. That said, it is absolutely an honor and a privilege to be able to play a child's game for millions upon millions of dollars. If a player isn't willing to go through a rudimentary interview process for the handful of teams that are actually interested in him, then what does that say about the player? What does that say about him being a real team player? What does that say about his abillity to tough out the tiny, little, annoying fragments of the grinding and brutal life of actually being an NFL player in the long run? That you, especially already one the son of a mega millionaire celebrity, have some holier than thou attitude and say that you're the exception? Obviously a team's front office won't like that, but if I was another player, I wouldn't be too thrilled with the guy either, especially since he has plenty of question marks and isn't undeniably some pre-destined Hall of Famer. Everyday Americans put in more effort to find a 9-5 job in this current market than what it sounds like what this kid did for teams leading up to the draft. He deserves no sympathy, and although I doubt the accuracy of this story, I'm glad it turned out the way it did and he wasn't rewarded for his behavior.

This, combined with all the players sending him well wishes, does not bode well in my opinion.

So who is available for a 4th and 5th rounder, maybe even a third? It's not like we're gonna draft well next year anyways so might as well go for it now!

Nothing is ever easy is it.
