    sorry for shouting but you’re the 400th person to use this asinine argument: 

     

    DUE PROCESS AND “INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY” DO NOT APPLY TO PRIVATE EMPLOYERS. THIS IS NOT A COURT OF LAW. 

     

     


    Obviously the reference isn’t to the literal legal standard. It’s to the general theoretical approach of handling these types of matters.

     

    You might as well post an analysis of first amendment protected speech while you’re at it. For fun!

    It’s been like 36 hours and this is page 241 of this thread. Likely the longest thread in the history of this site. 
     

    The Bills are the lead story on nearly every (sports) news org in the country. 
     

    They are either thoroughly unprepared. Or they’ve botched the entire thing. Probably a little bit of both. 


    Or they’re conducting due diligence amidst changing circumstances.
     

    The fact it’s a lead story speaks more to how bizarre it is that people seem to care so much - whether their motivations are political, exploitative, self-righteous, or, far less likely, out of genuine concern.

     

    At the end of the day, this is just low brow entertainment.

     Two other teams drafted punters before the Bills took Araiza, who was clearly the highest rated punter in the draft.

    Why did they know enough not to pick him and the Bills did not?

     Did the Bills know and take a chance that it would just go away?

    Otherwise, why did the Bills think he was dropping and teams were drafting other punters?

    McD looked uncomfortable and  pissed off to be in that situation.


    If they knew anything it would’ve leaked and the “slide” narrative would’ve commenced. They passed on Araiza because he was a one-dimensional booming punter. The silly social media hype didn’t translate to actual scouting evaluations and thus other punters were rated on par with him.

    That headline seems designed to generate clicks and cast aspersions on the Bills.    Why would they ever talk to the plaintiff's lawyer?   

     

    Talk to law enforcement, talk to private investigators.   Just like in the McCoy case that's been cited a few times in this thread...

     

    He's quick to condemn to get pats on the back from his moral media brethren. You don't even need to read the article after seeing the headline. Did Mina Kimes chime in this afternoon?

    You know - it would really scare teams if we just decided to go for it on every 4th down this year.  

     

    In the end, we'd probably score more, also.  Sure, we'd come up short a few times - but more often than not, we'd probably make it.

     


    Yeah right. Like Allen slipping at the goal line in Tennessee? Bills do not execute in the clutch.

     

    But don’t get me wrong, it’d be fun.

    So coming up on 20 hours since the news broke nationally and he's still a Buffalo Bill?  Yeah, I'm going with the Bills investigating it and confident he did nothing criminal.

     

    Bottom line is he shouldn't be axed based on a civil allegation. And especially only when it becomes public. Nothing changed between Wednesday and Thursday besides injecting the self-righteousness of social media and tribal opinion.

    I agree it's unlikely they keep 4 TEs. But it sounds like they're high on both Sweeney and Morris - and the Giants would likely sign either/both if cut. I think it's more likely they're leaning toward keeping both Sweeney and Morris on the 53 and shopping Howard. 

     

    Cam Lewis is the interesting fringe player especially now that they're working him at safety.

    Some of the tough decisions have been deferred - Andre' Smith is suspended 6 games, Boettger on PUP - what happens if they're activated?

    I think they may keep Lewis and put Tre White on PUP.

     

     

    The choice is Smith/Spector when he's activiated. I don't think Boettger plays this season, perhaps injury settlements or outright release.

    They were "recently made aware" like today most likely.  Don't kid yourself

     

    Bills said they "conducted a thorough examination." It's highly likely they learned about it after the draft. But I can't imagine they "conducted a thorough examination" only after deciding to cut Haack - and make a public statement claiming such. If they cut Haack, they're comfortable with their assessment.
