  1. Waste of talent? LOL! The guy just came off a Pro Bowl season, albeit as an alternate.

    He is not a waste of talent, but I can understand d_wag's frustration.

     

    I was thrilled when the Bills picked Dareus. The guy is a monster of a D-Lineman, and he has great versatility. To see things like this come up about him gets tiring.

     

    I want to see him out there getting ready for the season and not have anymore stupid drama.

  2. Mrs. Cletus said that you guys aren't being very helpful... Guess we are going to have to check it out... Hopefully this flick gives her inspiration to come home and git er done...

    My apologies to Mrs. Cletus. All I can tell you is that I have no desire to see "Sex Tape", it's Rotten Tomatoes score is 20%, but movies like these aren't made to impress critics.

     

    I suggest that Mrs. Cletus watch the trailer, which I've provided on the first post of this thread and then decide if she really wants to see it.

  3. If we could get any game management from EJ at all we will be on solid ground. I hate using the term game manager after we had to deal with Ryan Fitzpatrick, but in Fitz's best year, with this team and what we have he would get us to the playoffs in 2014. Of course, he is a shell of what he was and his flash in the pan success didn't last.

     

    EJ Manuel is a QB that will either boom or bust. I hate saying it, I have almost no grounds to say it other then just my gut. He will either be a Pro Bowl QB in 2015 / 2016 or he will be gone. I don't see much in between for his career in Buffalo, we simply want too much. I could see him taking a Chad Pennington or Daunte Culpepper type of career path.

    That's not an unreasonable stance to have. I don't know how Manuel will do this year.

     

    I hope he can get to that next level, but it's unclear if he will. He does not have to play at an All-Pro level to get the Bills to the playoffs. An above average year from him will do that, and I'd be satisfied with that type of performance.

     

    I think Manuel has potential to be good-to-great, we'll just have to wait and see.

  4. I like apes. I thought the first one was better but this one was still good. At first, the cgi apes seemed a bit too fake to me (or maybe it was that bear), but it was amazing how a good movie made me completely forget about that after a few scenes.

    Exactly. That whole opening segment when we see how the apes live and communicate with each other is great. The subtitles add a certain depth to everything, as if we're watching a silent film.

     

    I also got a chilling feeling from the scene when the apes go into San Francisco, and Caesar tells the humans that they don't want a war. That scene is brilliantly setup.
