SectionC3

As far as I recall Funchess inflicted much of the abuse in Darby that day. But Benjamin might have joined the funny beating Gilmore, too.

Have you watched him play in person? Great assessment that you will only feel stronger about watching his act in pregame. Totally casual approach.

This is exactly right. Why cut any of those three? Benjamin is better than anybody we would find in the third round this year. Sometimes you have to give something to get something.

Love this move. We have the chance to end the drought, and the shows the team the Fanbase we are going for it. I'll get a little bit ahead of myself here. I came of age with the Super Bowl Bills, and I'll just point out that we now have an opportunistic defense, a huge Halloween trade that nobody saw coming, and a linebacker who made a play against the Raiders eerily similar to that of Spiderman against the same team and basically the same spot of the field in the 1990 AFC championship game.

This.

The draft pick has next to nothing to do with the trade. The transaction was about excising a headache from the locker room, mitigating the risk dareus suffers a catastrophic injury this year that would prevent him from being cut in a timely fashion next year, and freeing even a minimal amount of cap space. Mission accomplished. With a lottery ticket to boot.

No one $10m, and a couple of guys who want to be here the balance. It's a win.

This. Addition by subtraction. Hard to promote a culture of accountability when your highest-paid player is a morose, indifferent slob. Imagine a "normal" workplace in which the highest-paid worker earns a salary 30x that of the average worker and also is one of the least productive and most ineffective employees at that business. Good luck with morale in that scenario. I wish dareus the person luck and happiness as he moves forward, but I am beyond thrilled that dareus the football player is a former bill.

Joe Montana was a pro bowler one, too, and he has no place in the roster. Dareus is a slob and we are better for his departure. Imagine if, at your job, the least productive worker made a yearly salary close to 30x what many of the good workers earn. After awhile it gets harder and harder to motivate the good employees when the overpaid, morale-killing sloth is around. This trade is quintessential addition by subtraction.

That's the one I'm talking about. Great point. You'd think I'd remember th name given that I drive by it four times a week. But the perf ft spot to stop on the way from the airport to the stadium. Also, I believe nino's (a minute or two away from the OPH) opens at nine on game days. If pizza for breakfast is your thing, stop there.

Spot coffee in orchard park (on 20A). Or the pancake place on union in op just south of Michael rd. I saw a reference to wegmans earlier in the thread. Great idea, but consider the west Seneca wegmans rather than Hamburg. The west Seneca wegmans is more direct from the airport, and is much less of a circus than the Hamburg wegs.

I think at one point he had six in a row. He's hurting the team.

Agreed.

I thought the same thing while watching the game. Not sure why that building was necessary. It seems so wasteful.

Seconded.

Well said!

Well done, This or led zep would be great. Bruno mars killed it a few years ago. Would love to see that again.

Definitely not by design. The play was for Matthews coming across the formation behind the line. They used to run something similar for woods and hogan a few years ago, and I think Holmes might have scored on the same play in the opener.

And at least two were into the wind. Not sure if this is seen on tv, but the guy is methodical. He practices where to put his feet (followed by a practice "swing") like nobody I've ever seen.

Everyone has a right to an opinion. Mine is that yours is either willfully or blissfully ignorant. We agree to disagree.

It's interesting that you refer to sports as a safe place. I am a lawyer, and there were times in my career I would sit at an NFL game and be thrilled with the fact that for three hours nobody could bother me. So I get that side of things. I also see, however, how sports may be for change. Jackie Robinson, Mexico City Olympics, and Billie Jean King. I'm with you to the extent that you wish that we can just talk about football watch football on Sunday and not think about anything else. I guess maybe this is another one of those sports/culture convergences. And I also guess it's what I signed up for when I start living and dying with sports. Somewhere, sometime, I was going to have my Jackie Robinson, Mexico City moment etc.

You and I went round and round on the "knee" topic awhile back and we have wildly contrasting views on the issue. But I strongly agree with your point about the real world being in places that people in NYC and la refer to as flyover country. This trump conversation occurs in significant part because he recognized that when nobody else did (and won an election because of it). Maybe we can agree that everyone should be heard -- people in middle America who feel that their struggle is ignored, people of color who have a different but equally trying struggle, etc. Bottom line, empathy is a good thing .... except for the broncos tomorrow. Go bills.

Most parts of yesterday feel different to me. Except for the passing game. The ball doesn't come out on time, there is absolutely no rhythm, and most of the good results come from ad hockery - scramble, broken play, etc. It is not a sustainable way to run an offense. Tyrod seems to be a hard worker and a really good guy, but I can't help but wonder if peterman is a better fit even as of today.

That was a scouting trip. Weeks had proposed a significant baseball card trade, and some of the subjects of that trade were playing in that game. Seriously ... Rex became a caricature. He once was a good football coach. But his ego, lack of preparation, and uncontrollable mouth destroyed all of that. I'm thrilled that he no longer is on our sideline.

Outstanding. That is gold. I laughed so loudly me secretary came into the office.
