Agreed, never heard of Brett Kern. His name is stricken from the record.

I figured we'd have signed Kern by now.

He will be fine, they are being careful with injuries. I wouldn't be surprised if he would have played last game had it actually been a regular season game.

Thanks for the breakdown! I think we'll see a lot more 12 and 10 personnel this year. I can also see us lining up in 21 and then sending cook out to the flat presnap. Both Cook and Shakir could really help us with some formation wrinkles that, while they may not result in stats for the rookies, could very well work to the benefit of our other weapons.

The self-righteous smugness radiating from this post is gross and predictably, poorly thought out. The ONLY information that could be released that people will accept in this case is a list of dates of who was contacted, who was hired to collect information, a release of all the notes from the investigation. You are NEVER going to get that information and it is asinine to think you are entitled to it. These smug articles out there drawing conclusions from press conference snippets are just clickbait, you're not going to find an article with a well-researched, reasoned explanation of events because that information will never be released. I would posit that when the team realized they weren't going to be able to unequivocally answer the questions raised by the allegations they admitted they didn't have the resources to do their due diligence and then took the high road by not throwing others under the bus for their own shortcomings and simply cut ties. You look at facts one way, I look at them another. I would not have criticized your opinion had you not decided to point out how special your thoughts are and how it makes you better than the "apologists" on this board. No one here wants you to feel uncomfortable, feel free to bounce. Though I think you like feeling as if you are superior to everyone here, it seems to be a constant in your posts.

I used to like Fairburn. Maybe he's been hanging out too much with Jerry Sullivan, but his coverage has been awful. Sal Maiorana and Jay Skurski have always been bottom of the barrel in terms of their takes so I don't find the fact that they continue to be terrible very surprising. Speaking "truth to power" is relevant in actual life situations, these three have been using the situation to style themselves as "serious journalists." This is sports reporting, not covering the war in Ukraine, there isn't a "deeper level" to explore. Why didn't they reach out to the accuser? Maybe because the attorney laid out his case and gave them relevant documents and the team went out to try and corroborate or disprove the facts on their own, realized they weren't capable of getting to the bottom of things when the allegations and the player's version of events were so far apart and a suit was brought and decided to cut bait.

How dare you mention Kroger in Buffalo

McAfee, whom you should trust in regards to his opinions about punters and kickers, says Kern is a no-brainer and the best punter available for the Bills and that he is very good at kicking in inclement weather.

I thought they could sign after tomorrow at 4?

13 is ridiculous.

QBs at least have the most familiarity with taking snaps from shotgun, which makes a QB kicking a little safer than someone else who hasn't kicked as they at least have part of the operation down.

This is incorrect. Every team asks if there are any pending legal cases that they might be unaware of and the player is expected to respond with facts and information.

Interesting to see the same patterns of behavior in this thread emerge every 30-40 pages. Most people aren't actually reading the information in the thread, they just come to post their "original opinion" that has already been made 80-90x by other posters who haven't read anything beyond a headline. Cycle 1 "What a scumbag, I hate him" Response "She said she consented to sex with him" "He's going to jail, it doesn't matter if she consented, she was underage" Response "It does matter if she said she was over 18" "No it doesn't, you're a horrible person" Response "it does, it's a legal defense" "I don't believe you" Response - posts something about mistake of age "I still hate him and can't believe he's still on the team" Then Cycle 2 repeats arguing about how much the Bills knew. Cycle 3 - Someone makes a comment about having to put up with this crap over a punter, then people argue about that. Then we restart the whole thing again

He's gone, after seeing McDermott's press conference. I know he says he wants to do more work, but he clearly was not given a full picture of what happened and learned new information along with the rest of us. As for @wppete's disgusting comment above. Kim is recovering from a serious health issue that had her in intensive care for quite a while. Thanks for reminding me where the ignore button is, your comments about her expose you as a troubled person, you should do some work on yourself.

The subject material notwithstanding this thread has really devolved into a mix of presenting selected facts to support different posters' personal theories and criticizing other members for their interpretation of a set of facts. 129 pages of this thread at present. If we boiled this down to posts that actually present information we'd probably have 2 pages at most. The situation is quite awful and I understand a lot of poster feel strongly one way or the other; we have been presented with conflicting accounts of the same event from each party's attorneys. Any chance you guys can agree that people are viewing the facts through the lens of their own personal experiences and beliefs and the fairest thing to do would be to reserve judgement until we actually have all the facts?

I am concerned that Tre will not actually be Tre at all this year even when he's back on the active roster. Yes, this is the one position on the team that I have reservations with.

I'm confused as to why I was quoted in this?

The statement the Bills released makes it sound like their investigation determined he is not guilty of the allegation, or else I would suspect the result of the investigation would be his release. They can't make a statement saying they believe him to be innocent because of ongoing litigation. The fact that they say they have already performed an investigation and he is still on the roster should indicate something as far as what they believe to be true.

Haack signed with the Colts yesterday

Hello all. I'd like to take my Dad, brother and nephew to a game in Buffalo this year and I'm looking for some tickets. Thought I would try asking here before checking on ticketmaster or seatgeek. Thanks!

The show kinda stinks now, the NFL killed it. Zero chemistry between the hosts and the two who were hired were hired without even consulting with Brandt and Schrager which is always a sign that things are going to fall apart. I can see Shrager moving to do more commentary and Brandt will get his own radio show and do his podcast with Omaha productions.
