  1. im more of a game day shout box guy. i keep a level head and mock those who say "game over" because something bad happened.  i enjoy watching the games and seeing great plays from both teams, seeinh great strategies, etc. i want the Bills to win but i know every game is 50/50 so i don't get bent out of shape if they lose. i have a harder time sleeping after an awesome win.

    oh, well glad you asked.  Cause there has been 57 super bowls and not one has been won by a running quarterback.  Josh Allen running is the Bills identity because the brain trust hasnt given him a runner to compliment him. Need a big play?, Josh's legs...short yardage?  All Josh.  Best runner on the team, Josh Allen.  Maybe after the Dallas game Cook caught a little attention from opposing coordinators.  Usually he's ignored and will spurt a few before a couple negative plays that puts them behind the chains, and Josh is looked to for the bail out.  4th quarter to run the clock out? looks like Johnson won that job if the Pittsburgh game is any indicator.  Idk why they just dont give him the lions share of the carries during the game.   Bottom line a running quarterback only gets you so far as determined by the history of the NFL.

    there have been 57 super bowls and not one has been won by Buffalo. guess we should all just give up.

     

    damned statistics creating reality again!

    He's been invisible for weeks.  Today I saw him catch a ball and drop to the ground before getting touched, without effort for YAC. Unless he is secretly injured I think it's time to really evaluate his effectiveness and effort.  

     

     

     

    Sorry to say...

     

    U R dum

  4. The PI was the right play once he was beat. He prevented a TD that play. 

     

    Then he prevented the TD on that drive with the int.

     

    Both smart plays. I hope he can improve in other areas because he has a real knack for interceptions.

    100 years ago, what Araiza did wouldn't have been a crime.  Or a thousand years ago.  Or a million years ago.  History is filled with young people having sex.

     

    It also wouldn't have been a crime in most states.  From what I just found on the internet, the age of consent is 16 in 32 states.  It's 17 in 8 more.  

     

    New morality?  Sexual morality is highly variable from culture to culture.  What Araiza did wouldn't be considered immoral in many places on the earth today.  

     

    I have two daughters and I'm glad we have age-of-consent laws in the U.S.  I just think Araiza has been punished enough.

     

     

    I agree that based on the info we have, Araiza has very likely been punished enough. We will never know.

     

    But something being legal or acceptable in the past does not make it ok today. At all. Wtf kind of argument is that? Slavery (and many other terrible things) was legal 200 years ago, and is acceptable in some countries today, so it's ok?

     

    The law is the law, cross the line don't be surprised if you get burned.

     

  6. When that play happened i wasn't too worried as i saw the yellow right from the get go. Didn't see our guys jump so it must have been the Chiefs.

     

    Quite possible some players thought the same in the moment and played differently thus allowing the TD. That happens pretty often. Not that it should...play to the whistle and all...but it happens.

    You do realize this is not an argument against the law, correct? Using your logic we should let teachers show hard core porn and give kids alcohol because kids can figure out how to access it anyways. 

    sure? sometimes on internet forums you get a little off the main topic discussing side points. I was responding to BillFanNC's contention that the library "is the one place kids can't access internet porn".

     

    My logic says knowing kids have access means we should probably open some dialogue with them about what they have access to to help minimize harm.  for example it was often the kids whose parents refuse to discuss alcohol, or have any difficult conversations with their kids, who became the drunkest teenagers. besides, of course, that rare ultra permissive parent who is probably an alcoholic themselves. Uh oh, now we are discussing alcohol, i hope we didn't break any internet rules...but if we did it is your fault you brought it up.

    If you don't believe there was plenty of substance to the debate and you want to focus on a poop bag rather than all the stats he was rattling off then that means you came into with a preconceived dislike for him and no matter what he was going to say you wouldn't support.

     

    There are plenty of voters like you who don't really care about the cultural issues that helps create the rot in our societies and as a father of two girls that are in school, I care very deeply about all the things that schools and corporations are doing to inject ideologies that aren't rooted in science and that are created to help indoctrinate these minds into believing things such as Critical Race theory, faux DEI concepts, transgendered males competing against women, corporations attempting to run roughshod over politicians and a number of other things.    

     

    I'm Floridian, so I'm biased for DeSantis but I can tell you this, I was never biased for Rick Scott, Jeb Bush, Charlie Crist back when he was a Republican.  What DeSantis did during COVID and all the bold items that he promised and delivered on, I'm thankful.  I feel like what he was able to accomplish specially COVID that I am indebted to him.    

     

    He'll very likely lose and Trump will be the nominee, but I am 100% convinced he would end up being a much more disciplined, energetic, organized and effective executive than anyone else running on either side of the aisle.

     

     

    there was plenty of substance, sure. but that won't sway the Ds and Rs much if at all. it's the independents that I consider when judging the way these two present themselves. i admit i have seen DeSantis debate a couple of times recently and both times i thought he came off poorly and this reaffirmed my opinion.

     

    i do care about cultural issues, but again i'm not judging these two on issues. we know where Ds and Rs stand. 

     

    i agree with you about COVID, i don't know every detail of how Florida handled it but i know that the governments did a lot of damage in Canada in the name of "saving the healthcare system". they did the exact opposite. in Florida i know they lifted restrictions earlier which was good and DeSantis gets points for that.

     

    and you may be correct about his effectiveness when in office. my interest is political strategy. does the guy really have what it takes to win the presidency? i don't think he does, it's not his policy, it's the way he performs on a microphone. and again i'm not saying that is good for society but it is the reality.

    Poop map at a debate is a bridge too far but comics in elementary school libraries depicting giving head are fine. 
     

    Oh, Canada 🤦‍♂️🤦🤦‍♀️

     

    My criticism is not about what i personally find offensive. It is about what i think is a good or bad political move on a debate stage.

     

    There are books written for 2 year olds about poop and i bet you will find many in libraries. Which kinda highlights my point - the poop map was childish and makes DeSantis look weak at best, poopy at worst.

    Well, when you're an outsider, things like "likeability" are more important than competence.

    Unfortunately, likeability is often more important than competence to the people that matter: the voters. that's a bad thing, but as an outsider that's what i look for when trying to gauge what i think your country will do.

     

    And i am interested in what your country does because arguably your elections affect Canada more than our own elections do.
