I can’t comment about an ongoing investigation. Thankfully we have devoted fans to support the suspect. You should invite over to meet your family.

 

I mean, you've been commenting on a number of things that aren't based in reality already - what's stopping you now?

He’s acting as though he’s professionally involved in the investigation, or maybe he’s that little kid in the Grisham novels about the kid lawyer. 

 

Except that kid was really bright for his age. 🤣

Yeah, that made me laugh. Comes in and says they "reopened federal charges" - which is just completely false. There was an initial investigation 4 years ago and no charges were filed. That's it from the state level and there was nothing from the federal level. The accuser filed a civil suit after he got paid, but that's it. 

 

He's claiming some "burglary charge". There's nothing there. In the allegation, the accuser initially alleged he stole stuff. But, again, they didn't find evidence to charge him. And in the civil case, there's no claim of burglary. It's just an SA liability case. So, yeah, that's just wrong.

 

I guess when you're that wrong, it's better to just act like you're privy to knowledge no one else is rather than just say admit you're wrong...

Try listing who the Bills have lost and to.  A dynasty that has beaten everyone and the only afc team to beat said dynasty.  It’s not like we’re losing to anyone but the best teams and we were a play away from beating KC in the last 3. 

Listen New Era, I like your posts and agree with most of your comments, but don’t fall into the same one dimensional mindset that plagues boards like this. Don’t be satisfied with getting to the AFC Championship.We have a generational talent at QB after 21/2  decades of  mismanaged personnel decisions. Finally we’ve assembled an offensive group that is good enough to win our first championship. Sadly our management, with their constant complaints and excuses about cap limitations cannot complement the offense, instead assembling a defense that has inadequate depth and have kept players that should have been moved ( Milano, Jones, Epenesa,and Rousseau)making room for productive youth. Correct me if I’m wrong but those games against KC and Cinn were indicative of teams that couldn’t stop good offenses in big spots. We have not had D-lines that were able to rush the QB or a secondary that could cover. We can’t be happy to eschew acquiring a vertical threat at receiver in order to make 6 picks for corners and D-linemen with only 1 player getting on the field. This is 3 years that we have had zero defensive drafted players making any impact on the team. Josh and Cook with a solid O-line and decent possession receivers are good enough to win a lot of games but our defense as constructed will break our heart again. How many games like the last 3( Miami, NO, NE) against inferior teams can we watch our defense get pushed around.

thanks- same here.  
 

Hey man, if McD is fired if we don’t win this season, I get it.  I won’t be upset.  I was good with firing him this season, but I also get why he hasn’t been fired yet.  He’s gotten us to within a couple made plays, an injury and a bad ref call away from making possibly 3 super bowls.  He’s established a culture.  I think he’s a good head coach and has earned the right to coach this team this season.  

 

the way you’re talking, we have zero chance to win the Super Bowl.  You have the right to feel like that.  I think it’s sad that you’re living this great time in Bills football thinking we have zero chance to win the Super Bowl.  It can happen. 
 

We aren’t firing him mid season. When/if we do, I would hope that we bring in a different philosophy.  I’m over watching this D.  It seems like every opposing QB knows where to go with ball against us on every 3rd down.  It’s just too easy.   I’m holding out some hope that the players we’ve invested highly in, Hoecht, Maxwell and Ogunjobi can contribute and possibly turn things around and help get some 3rd down drops.  
 

More than just that, we need Benford, Taron and Bernard to start playing well.  All have been underwhelming this year (although Bernard has had some moments).  Maybe Hancock can replace Rapp at some point.  I think I might prefer washed Poyer over Rapp at this point.  

 

I’m. really hoping that we make a trade for someone that can make some clutch plays on O or D.

Basically we’re on the same page. They’ve been really close and all those untimely things happened against KC last year and in the 13 second game that could given us a SB. I think they could break through this season but unfortunately we’re probably going to have to win shootouts and that brings the refs and Sean’s game day decisions into play. You make a good point with the PED boys and improved play out of our established quality guys along with a healthy Oliver taking pressure off of the weak links in the secondary with more pressure and sacks .A trade at the deadline is also a possibility. I don’t like sounding too negative because I know what we’re capable of.

It's angering and hurtful that we're not allowed to yell at the clouds in peace. 😊

[In Summary]

Can Hairston please run 2 go routes per game just so I can be happy for two plays?

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I don’t care if the guy doesn’t even know the playbook, he needs to play and start as soon as he’s physically able. Get over yourself with holding guys back and worrying about BS spec teams guys. Put him in man coverage and let’s go. It’s not that complicated

Need him for the Chiefs game or it will be a highly embarrassing outcome.

Might be asking a lot of a rookie in likely his 1st game, if he can come back that soon.

We could be realistic and manage expectations if we had the luxury in the schedule to allow that. We don’t. We are rolling out a burnt Tre White and a Benford who has been average at best. Max needs to play, and he needs to play well.

I would know what? That every other team manages to get their first round picks on the field right away with no excuses? Yeah. No other team has these ridiculous issues where guys can’t get up to speed 6 months after they were drafted. He’s a boundary Cornerback FFS. Put him on the field and tell him to cover a guy

[YoloinOhio]

Please help us mad max

[947]

Manage Expectations my ass. The 1st round CB we just drafted absolutely needs to be in the game from the moment he's ready. He may not be a stud right away, but I don't think it's even possible that he's not instantly better than Tre. At least he can catch up after he makes a mistake.

If he can play it's time to bench Tre

Hairston with no practice and 1 bad knee is 10x better than Tre White who is absolutely horrible and washed up.
