A win is a win. But yes I do feel bad for This and hope Bernard is ok.

Von is back folks.

OMG that is hilarious.

Guy is coming up big time!

His analysis is really bad.

Better than good. Very good I'd say.

3 points wouldn't be a killer. Giving up a TD will sting.

I want the half to end without the dolphins scoring.

Love it. This is fun so far!!!!

I think this is the kind of offense that done guys play big and others don't depending on match ups. They aren't dependent on one or two guys. I like it.

Allen doing Allen things.

What a drive. Side note. Bass looks really good.

Bassamatic is back

Bills winning the turnover battle.

So much for a slow start.

Let's wait til after the game before we trash him.

Not going to lie, I wanted to kick the FG.

Let's take it a step further. No one goes hungry if you feed them. No one is homeless if you give them shelter. See where I'm going with this?

It can definitely mean that. It can also mean the Bills roster was rock solid the last few years. Led by Allen and Diggs. I definitely over stated my position. Overwhelming slow start was a poor choice of words. Gunner, broke down the stats very well. Refer to his detailed post.

By time they settle in they could be down 14 points. The Dolphins aren't the Cardinals. Is it me or do the Bills overwhelmingly get off to slow starts. I think it's vastly due to being out coached and out game planned. Don't you? We've defended it well in the past. I think McD knows how to contain, limit, and beat Miami. The real question is can the newer younger players step up and execute the defensive game plan. There will be some new wrinkles too. Can they adjust properly. I think the Bills will be fine on offense so long as they take care of the ball.

Really good test and measuring stick for both teams early in the season. This game can go in so many directions. I'm having a difficult time coming up with a solid game script. As a result, I'm unable to give a synopsis with confidence. The Bills have Allen and a mix match of offensive weapons who can have a big game. McD always seems to have solid game plans vs Miami. Hill and Waddle are darn right dangerous. I don't see a blowout here. Both team know each other well. Teams are pretty evenly matched, and they've played each other close in several games.

I agree but strictly from a legal standpoint the officers acted within the parameters of law. With the exception of the police officer grabbing Hill by the neck and forcing him to sit down. That was excessive use of force since he was cuffed, posed no threat, was restrained by fellow officer, and appeared to be slowly starting to comply and sit down. The neck grab was excessive. The officers arrested Hill by forceably removing him from the vehicle and hand cuffing him. Folks, that's not a detainment. It meets all the criteria for an arrest. It's pretty much a slam dunk The police had the legal right to remove Hill. They gave him a lawful order and he did not comply. Thus, the use of force was necessary. The amount of force used to subdue and cuff Hill was justified and not excessive. He could have been easily charged with obstructing justice or something similar to that charge. When cooler heads prevailed the authorities reviewed the incident and chose not to charge Hill criminally. Lots of theories as to why that happened. Who knows? No way in hell would a district attorney pursue criminal charges on Hill. They would be laughed right out of their position. This incident was a complete ***** show by all parties involved. Poor police behavior, actions, and judgement even if it falls with the law. Both can be true. Poor behavior, actions, and judgement from Hill. In the end, law enforcement officers are always held to a higher standard. Every LEO knows this and it comes with the territory. Folks, what we saw wasn't a high standard. It was borderline embarrassing. It's bad policing when a police officer allows a suspect to get them angry and that anger leads too bad decisions. I believe that's what happened here. It's bad policing when the police officers escalate rather than deescalate the situation. I believe that's what happened here. Their behavior, actions, and lack of judgement are the exact kinds of behaviors that leads to serious injuries to suspects and police officers. Thankfully, no one was hurt. It's not a good look for the Miami PD.

Not much for me to quibble about. Nice response. But you are thinking like a rational law abiding citizen. Thugs, criminals, pieces of poop, etc ...don't think like that.

I mostly agree with this. However, what I think you might be overlooking of the cops attitude and verbal interactions with Hill. If I may digress. For the most part, believe officers take charge, act assertively and or aggressively, give orders and commands,communicate in very stern tone of voice, and are dominant in nature. Most often it serves a purpose and promotes officer safety. IMHO, the opposite of the above is under taught and under trained. To be humble, to listen, to acknowledge a person's feelings, etc... Often one sees this as a sign of weakness. Nothing is further from the truth. As one of my training officers once taught me. There is always more than one way to skin a cat. That saying always resonates in my mind. Kill them with kindness sort of speak. Just doesn't happen enough in our law enforcement system. Of course, there's a time and place for everything. You're not going to tell a person pointing a gun at you to kindly put the gun on the ground. Nevertheless, you get the point i hope. Fast forward to the Hill incident. The officer approaches Hill and hits his window. Was it too hard or too many times? Who knows and who cares. What is important is the perception of the suspect who happens to be Hill. What if the officer said, I'm sorry that wasn't my intention. I can understand how you feel that way. It won't happen again? Sounds weak and corny but think about how that may have played out. Instead, the cop gets into verbal judo with Hill. Point being the officer missed the opportunity to fe escalate things immediately. Whether it would have been effective who knows. Then Hill rolled up the window after the officer received his license and registration. At that point couldn't the officer just proceed to his patrol car? I say yes yes and more yes. I hear you are running late. I'll be as quick is possible because I know your time is valuable. Instead, he chose to engage in a pissng contest over the window. Legally, the officer is correct. Walking to his patrol car would have made the rolled up window no security threat. Instead the officer engaged, demanded, ordered, and acted. All was very preventable. In short, the officers upped the tension, engaged in improper and unnecessary banter which led to an avoidable use of force situation. Does that lessen what Hill did? No. Did Hill contribute to what happened? Yes yes and more yes. Hope that helps give another perspective to others.

Sorry, I'm not wrong with my post. I don't disagree with the rest of what you said though.
