Have no fear

No one has offered a palatable solution. I thought the marketplace purchasing would work better and it did at first, but it fixed nothing long term as prices just converged. Trump I did some refs but that hasn’t done dick. I don’t believe in Medicare for all particularly. At this point the left and the right is in a battle of words to point out how wrong the other side is, but neither side can do more than make small tinkering moves for fear of making a runaway train accelerate. I don't have the answer either. I’m skeptical of anyone who thinks there’s an easy fix (buy drugs from Canada and stop high malpractice awards are not going to solve things). I would think that, like the debt and social security, fixing this will take 20 committed years. It will be a gift to the future if we take it on, but one election cycle won’t fix it. And some of the things we try may need serious adjustment if they don’t work. I just wish we had some bipartisan thinking happening to take some first steps at a long term plan. Generalizing a lot here but I think millennials care more than the boomers. The boomers were largely selfish. The millennials care about long term problems because they will live them. But it in general you’re right. No one gives a crap about the debt. Except Rand Paul.

So what the Democrat candidates apparently offer is: FEAR Fear of climate, fear of nukes, fear of coal, fear of whites, fear of men, and a whole heaping helping of fear of Trump. Looks like the official platform is really going to be Orange Man Bad, I guess.

And for our closing statement, we offer you... FEAR!

I don't know -- and anybody who proffers an easy solution is full of bull manure. I think that the best, and maybe the only solution, is the same one that Franklin Roosevelt came up with during the Great Depression: giving people some light at the end of the tunnel, ie, hope. FDR's concern was that the severity of the Great Depression would push Americans to embrace communism, and I think that he was right in his general fear if not in his specific one. Creating a permanent underclass is very dangerous to a democratic society. The rise of the right-wing extremist political parties in some European countries hint at that, and I think we see some of that, but on a much smaller scale, here in the US with the rise of fringe hate groups. People have to have hope that their hard work for not much can today somehow enable their children to have it better which means that there needs to be the ability for smart, talented young people to rise. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done.

...interesting........ Buffalo Bills offensive lineman retires over 'fear of the unknown' By Ryan Gaydos | Fox News Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Isaac Asiata announced his retirement Tuesday, citing anxiety and “fear of the unknown” in a heartfelt message posted on social media. Asiata, 26, spent two seasons with the Miami Dolphins after the team selected him in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He signed with the Bills in the offseason but made the decision to retire. “I have lived the last two years of my NFL career waging war with myself mentally,” Asiata wrote. “With constant anxiety, persistent worry and fear of the unknown and of what comes next? If I were to be done.” https://www.foxnews.com/sports/buffalo-bills-isaac-asiata-retirement-anxiety

I'm concerned. Concussions are not a good thing - for the team or the individual. And Morse was someone I was counting on to improve our OL play. I wonder how serious this concussion is. And I wonder how it might cause him to reflect about retiring. But I'm not convinced the sky is falling. A concussion is not the end of the world. In the old days, players got their 'bell rung' all the time and kept playing. We're smarter now with fears of CTE and all that. But for many players, lives and careers continue on just fine after a concussion. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The fear is palpable. Sad way to live life.

Augie is in no mood for joy riding! This sucks! My worst fear from this offseason has become a reality.....just as soon as it started......

Yikes. Weren’t the concussions the feared issue with Morse?

Gruden will be wrong and that’s fine. We have nothing to lose when the guy fails. When McDermott thought playing him was a good idea, I had an issue. It turns out, despite his qualifications, many of us were right and he was wrong. Maybe “Billsy” isn’t the perfect term for what I was getting at but we all know that insecure Buffalo mentality. We don’t see it quite as much since the Pegula’s took over but we still see it. This underlying fear that “we aren’t good enough to have what everyone else has so we cling to the next tier to justify our place.” We love a guy like Fred Jackson (and he’s one of my favorites) but let’s not kid ourselves, he’s not Zeke. We love the hard-working overachievers. We put Phil Hansen on the Wall of Fame but not Cornelius Bennett. That’s just craziness to me. The ONLY thing that I care about is “who helps the Bills the most?” It doesn’t bother me. It bothers me that people keep a soft spot for him. He’s collecting an NFL paycheck while doing the job worse than anyone ever. If he keeps getting paid good for him. It makes no difference to me. It’s the pity that he gets that rubs me the wrong way. He has made $1,046,169 to play like he has. He will make another $645,000 if he makes the team this year. There is no reason to feel sorry for him. If I could make $500,000 a year, to be worse at my job than any else ever, sign me up.

Anyone who has had high hopes for the Bills over the better part of two decades has been wrong more than they were right. It's called being a fan. Only the negative ninnies claim "victory" each season when things go south. Congrats on that. This is fun. It's entertainment. Your sob story of "I used to be a homer but they broke my heart so now I'm negative about everything" is boring. I'm not betting schitt with you. My Ray-Ray comment was a joke, which you are incapable of contemplating in the midst of your "fear" and "worry" about how the Bills will damage you next.

LOL... This board is hilarious. The Bills have been so bad and irrelevant for nearly two decades that no other team's board would even create a Why the Bills suck thread. It would just be a given. The Giants have as many SuperBowl wins as the Bills have playoff games in 20 years. Giants are going to be a train wreck this year. It's a must win if Bills want to make a playoff run. Giants run game and the best RB in football versus a boom or bust Bills run defense. This game will be an early predictor of how the remainder of the season will go. The defense should be able to stack the box to stop the run like teams have done to the Bills for years. They can go man to man with a single high safety all game and have little to no fear of getting beat deep. If McD can't find a way to win this game he will be on the hot seat early and probably throughout the remainder of the season.

I'll put it this way. AT HOME, I'd rather face Tannehill than even Matt Moore. He was better in Miami, but still not a QB I ever "feared." He's not a gamechanger and he definitely struggles in cold weather. Not a fan.

Try going to places yourself instead of relying on media dipictions. I love Baltimore. Lots of cool spots. Yes, there’s some rough areas you don’t want to wander. You can find those same type of areas in NYC, DC, Philly, Chicago... Stop fear mongering. You aren’t getting murdered anywhere you’d be as a tourist in Baltimore.

Dude, if anyone is annoying it’s Mr. “I’m worried about this, I fear that, and oh, my heart has been broken by the Bills too many times to have hope.” You’re like a teenage girl, for crying out loud. This is supposed to be fun, try enjoying it!

Yes, I weigh the most recent more than RT’s last “good” season 4 years ago. We’ll agree to disagree. I know what Fitz is. But his best is a lot more scary than RT’s. There were very few qbs I feared the Bills going against less than Tannehill.

So if Fitz did that with the number 2 defense we had, what’s our record last year? And before you say we don’t have the receivers TB has, he did it with some scrubs here. Fitz is the second best qb in the division right now. Yeah, I’m go with the most recent year. I fear Fitz more than I fear Tannehill. There’s a reason the Fins had to throw in a 6th round pick with him just to get a 4th. Hint, he’s meh. Hot Fitz >>>> meh Tannehill bad Fitz << Meh Tannehill You’re annoying. ?. But yup, the fans of a 6 win team shouldn’t be laughing at 7 win one. Especially when 2 of those wins came against that team and they fired everyone because of it.

There was never a time when I was nervous to face Tannehill. It’s my fear we end up with Allen being a Tannehill player. Ok enough to not want to give up on him but deep down, you know he’s not good enough. there is no question I’d rather play again Tannehill than Fitz. Fitz might throw 4 ints but he also could throw 5 tds. Tannehill is the definition of meh. The most empty 4, 000 yards ever. It’s liek when Stafford had 5,000 yard passing seasons. They were pretty much meaningless.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. He always struck me as a complimentary receiver. I guess it’s also how you view a number 1. Could I see Brown leading us in yards? Sure. But I view a number 1 is a guy the opposing DC goes all out to stop. A guy who needs to be doubled. A guy with the game on the line, you can go to. I don’t think Brown is that type of player and we lack a “true” number 1 receiver. my fear is we have a Tom Brady receiving core without Tom Brady.

More fear. Brennan is a traitor to every oath he's ever taken. He knows he's *****. Why isn't he going on TV this week talking about all the evidence he has about Trump's treasonous Russian collusion? Oh... right, the music stopped and John doesn't have a chair.

Very tough backs, absolutely. However, of the three teams, I am not overly concerned their QB will strike enough fear in our defense to not sell out to stop those guys. Used to happen to Buffalo, we used to hear we made QB "x" have to play QB, the following Monday- after watching (any)one of our former lackluster QBs be abysmal thru the air. With our secondary constructed the way it is, I think we can absolutely commit to the run, leave the secondary on an island so to speak. Make Darnold beat us, make Manning/Jones beat us, make Dalton beat us. Mind you, especially without AJ Green, none of these three teams have WR weapons that scare me.

Fear of being let down. Just relax and enjoy the ride.

This is what fear and panic sound like: Chuck knows he's in heaps of trouble.
