I love when three geeks get together and like each others comments. I bet it makes them feel really cool and popular for a hot minute.
ZOMG! I’m being so funny, I’m posting something similar to that other guys post so I must be right!
I used to like Gronk. Now he’s garbage. It’s not worth my time to delve any deeper than that.
Ill go with my gut in this one, feel free to play comment soggy bread all over my post. You guys seem to really enjoy that.
Oh and btw, Gronk would bully you and call you names behind your back. Guaranteed.
Stop and get a life, I think you are very bored!
Really, is NFL football the only thing many of you have going!

Not being the worst at something doesn't indicate you're goods at something...
What does anything on this forum matter to anyone's life? Why do people post here at all?!
Josh Allen being a success? What does it matter to your life?
Gronk donating money? Why bother posting about it. It doesn't matter to your life!
I ask that question daily; get a life dude! I have been an avid Bills fan since 1964 , my family held seasons tickets since 1960; get a life!

This..fallacy again. It's not fiscal discipline. He's made a gargantuan amount of money from endorsement deals. That's like saying you go and work a day delivering pizza and never touch that $10 for the next ten years that you have exercised financial discipline.
Who cares! Does the money Gronkowski makes impact your life at all? Get over it!

I used to like Gronk. Ive even defended him to people at the bar, etc.
He pulled a garbage move that changed the way I see him. Now he’s a garbage person imo. Fair? I don’t know, more so I don’t care.
I’m sure he doesn’t care how I feel about him so why should I spend any amount of time thinking about how I feel about him?
But you had to post and get it out?

Props to Gronk, who I’ve been loving on for a few years now over how frequently he praises WNY.
Leave it to miserable people to find something wrong with a 50k donation to a charitable cause.
Welcome to TBD!

I saw what happened and what didn't happen. They didn't do crap.
I am certainly not denying that it was a dirty hit. It was horrible. Among the worst I've seen.
But it was one hit. Out of an otherwise clean career. He made a mistake. He lost his cool. Luckily, White is okay.
But it does not make Gronk a dirty player; nor does it make him a bad person. It makes him an excellent player and a great guy who made a terrible error in judgment.
Too much logic and maturity, stop! Your rattling brains here!

I don't think I'm alone in feeling the way I do. I think many of you feel the same way. It's hard to trust this team. It's hard to trust the QB position. 20 years of psychological warfare, unmet expectations, disappointment. This is one of the most emotionally invested fan bases in the NFL. We have been burned so repetitively we have become split between two groups of people. Ones that can let go of the past be optimistic and move forward, then another group that is just as passionate and loyal but defends themselves emotionally by lowering expectations. I'm part of the latter but always fighting myself to push closer towards the former.
I saw things in Allen's statistical profile last year that concerned me a great deal. How often he was running. Accuracy issues. Topics discussed many times on this forum as indicators to be cautious. I spent a lot time watching film on Josh this weekend. From the eyes of an emotionally defeated, lowered expectation, pessimist, this is what I saw.
A kid in the shape of a giant outrunning defenders not because he couldn't read progressions or step up in the pocket, but because he was either forced to roll out or more often because the defensive line completely over pursued. He took advantage of mistakes defenses made and put DC's on notice this year. If you want to play pin the ears back and undisciplined in your pass rush he will make you pay.
I saw this man child hit the deep middle 20 yard throw like no QB we have had since Bledsoe (who for all his shortcomings delivered that as well as anybody). I saw him often not stepping up in the pocket and delivering the ball awkwardly, but it was not because he was afraid it was because the DL was under his chin. Shockingly, he still delivered ropes all over the field from this position.
I saw a player that can make every conceivable throw a QB can make in this league and many the majority of QB's could not. A player that when in cadence and rhythm was decisive and accurate. Somebody fully capable of turning absolutely nothing into not only positive yardage but sometimes a lot more. Oh by the way, a natural leader that inspired his teammates.
You would have to have beaten Bills syndrome to the fullest level to not see the same things. Allen is a special player. He carried this offense as rookie void of any talent around him on his back last year. This year he has some weapons. So why not Buffalo, lets do this one more time. I'm on board and will put the past behind me. I think we make the playoffs this season. Then I think we challenge for what we really want in the years to come.
Talk to me in December! Maybe yes Maybe no!

I think a few on TBD would probably prefer to wish me a "Happy Mothers Day" instead, but to all the rest of you have a great day - training camp coming soon!

Back in 1960's Buffalo, long before cable you received three channels from Canada: 6, 9, and 11 and getting Montreal Expos Baseball and the CFL was a big deal!!! CFL just prepped you for the opening of training camp coming in late July at Blasdell or Niagara University!

Thats right. It was old school like...I couldn't wait until 1:00 PM on Sunday. I remember Chuck Knox always saying: "Lets play Buffalo Bills football!" ha! I got it...his own brand!
Ground Chuck!

I remember Hooks and of course Brown well. Brown was like(now that you reminded me) Roger Craig in an unassuming way. Hooks was good every time he touched the ball. Both excellent and unsung players.
I really miss those kind of players and of course, the Chuck Knox era. Thank you Rocket94 for remembering!

They played key roles and I met Roland Hooks back in the 1970's - a class act!

It's been so many years, I don't remember much of that game - except for those last two remarkable plays. Those were unforgettable. Hooks, already one of my favorite Bills, was a hero that day.
Roland Hooks and Curtis Brown were awesome; both played for many years in the unsung hero role; both class and character acts - team players!

I called Ferguson Super Joe because of the plays and his occasional flash of heroics.
Wow...Noriega! What a remember when!
Sure was, I met Noriega face to face when he was a Major the previous year; slime!

After discussing Jerry Butler, I suppose it triggered another "moment" from the Bills past. The 1981 game against New England where Joe Ferguson and Roland Hooks "Hooked" up and beat the Pats. I remember that the Bills were down...I remember turning off the TV thinking the Bills would come back If I did. Sure enoigh they did! Does anyone have the video? Please post it!
I listened to this game on a transistor radio while pulling guard duty for an ammo bunker in the jungles of Panama; I remember it well!

I was there when he had the four td day versus the jets at rich.
I was too, what a day, Smerlas as a rookie had a TD fumble recovery; you knew we were coming back!
4 hours ago, The Poojer said:I'm confused. In the article it said he called his mother-in-law right after the draft, but then the article said he met his wife a couple of weeks into his Buffalo stay.
I'm confused why you care!
3 hours ago, Limeaid said:She was not mother-in-law at time. He knew her and was introduced to daughter afterwards. Article should have stated future mother-in-law.
Again, who cares!

Remember when Gronk cheap shotted White? I don't think there's a fan in Buffalo that would not have cheered if Gronk was injured on the next play.
So yes!
No! Gronk was not only wrong, he was lacking in ethics and professionalism. Just because someone is lacking don't make it right!

I would never cheer that an opposition player was injured. That would include Brady. That's just not the kind of person I am. I would applaud -- and maybe stand if it was an opposition team's star player -- as the player was taken from the field in the cart just like I would a Bills player.
Thank you, great post that I hope speaks for the majority of fans!

I would not and trust me, I am not lying!

Thank you for keeping us grounded in reality. I was expecting Chief Wiggum to start singing ‘Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows’ any second now.
I prefer "Jammin!" Wiggum can belt them out!

Excellent post. I didn’t mean to infer millennials don’t care or haven’t represented us very well in our Armed Services. The poll I referenced means they likely weren’t taught about or wasn't required to do in depth study of that era of US history in schools. It shows my age that the 1st half of the 20th century was required learning through multiple grades of my school years. Then again, we also had shop, arts & music study, which youngins don’t know about either..
Given the GI’s approximate age then, they’re all well into their 90’s now and very soon will all be gone. I was barely born when the last US Civil War soldiers died in the late ‘50s. It seemed so ancient then, though it was ‘only’ 80ish years prior.
Btw, in depth Civil War history was also required learning through multiple years of my schooling..
I remember with great reverence all America’s Greatest Generation, from combat soldiers to the sacrifices and 7 day work weeks on the home front.
Not on you Chandler#81, I sometimes get down hard on millennials so it was my "mea culpa." But hell yes, history is not taught in schools today in many ways leading to the repeat of past mistakes!

I have angered many through the years with my rants about millennials and probably will do so again and get kicked off TBD for a week or two, now let me say many millennials have served and fought hard honorably, many suffering physical and mental wounds they are still trying to recover from years after the fact. I too remain in awe of the "Greatest Generation" and the sacrifices made for all of us and they indeed need to be honored and never forgotten. But millennials too have sacrificed over the last 19 years; to all those who served thanks for being there for the last 250 years! Never forget!
