Rob's house. Absolutely love your 8:21 pm comment. Concur 100%. Read Greg Gutfeld's "The Joy of Hate" People who don't agree with the social change fanatics need to be careful because if you cross them they will come after you with an asymmetric response. You say a word someone doesn't think is nice and they want your job, your future earnings, your reputation etc. Not a good justice system!!!!

Same here Buftex. I could not disagree more either, e.g. your inference that if someone doesn't proclaim their innocence, one would assume they are guilty? just a plain asinine argument. But I didn't rip on you. Whatever. I don't care what Bob Costas thinks about gun control either because I'm pretty sure if I met the guy I wouldn't agree with him about much of anything. The media grabs onto something they think they can utilize to affect social change and they will not let it go. The issue here is this **** isn't even real news. ISIS, West Bank, Crimea, Afghanistan. And we're listening to talking heads with room temperature IQs talk 24-7 about football violence. get a real problem. my issue isn't specifically what happened to any one player it is the endemic use of media power try to manipulate what happens to people and force us to agree with them on certain issues.

Thanks for the highlights. Nowhere in my post did I mention Rice, Hardy, or Peterson. My point is if the precedent, to allow the media or Coca Cola or a local Nike atore owner to dictate "punishment", this is a slippery slope. Pay does not equal "allowed to play." Nice ad hominem attack BTW.

So a player gets arrested, the legal system deals with the arrest. This player enters a pre-trial diversion program or agrees to a plea bargain (either or). The play complies with the deal he made with the state. The league makes a decision after the adjudication and legal process is done. NOW, PETA, some other libtard group is up in arms because they think it was too lenient (the way the league dealt with this) so they apply pressure using their influence and resources to make the player and the league look bad. The media jumps on board because they can look more progressive, enlightened etc if they agree. If they don't jump on board they appear tone deaf, or out of touch or ignorant. Hello!!! this isn't how our country was founded. we shouldn't take someone's livelihood away because they are unpopular in the media. Let the legal system run its course BEFORE we rush to judgment. Otherwise Dareus should be sitting, suspended etc. Felony arrest then arrest in Hamburg for what four misdemeanors? Sorry for typos...IPAD spellcheck etc.

The niners gotir right. The Vikings got it wrong. Innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof is not on the accused it's on the accuser. Presumption of innocence not guilt. PC gone awry. Those with political agendas use th media to further their cause. they want to make it untenable for teams to play the naughty boys...once an arrest occurs they play it up and teams know sponsorship $$$ is in jeopardy so they cow tow to the political pressure instead of doing the right thing (letting due process run its course first...getting all the facts first) and then making a decision. Remember Duke lacrosse. Pencil neck, no spine people caving to media, corrupt DA, incompetent cops and political pressure befor the truth is known.

Golic is smart and I respect his opinion. Greenberg sucks...panty waste school of faggotry headmaster. screw him!

Herb Brooks. They responded. Doug Marrone. Will they respond? Elite athletes are a pain in the ass to coach. Time will tell.

CJ seems like a great guy. He's got a ton of highlight reel explosive plays. He's one of the fastest backs in the league. But, there are huge red flags. Chan clearly has issues with CJ's stamina. Marrone seems luke-warm on CJ. I think if they can get something for him they deal him. CJ certainly hasn't panned out the way Buddy envisioned. I don't think it is a "system" thing and figuring out how to work him in. It's more a "consistency" issue with CJ--coaches are wondering at the start of the play who which CJ will show up--good CJ or bad CJ?

To me the something overlooked by fans more than coaches is the ability of an RB to be an effective blocker. This just isn't a stat like YAC or YPK. But coaches review every play and know the details of blown assignments or poor blocks. CJ has improved here but perhaps this is a skillset where CJ has been weaker than some of the other guys. There is no doubt he's an explosive rare thoroughbred when it comes to busting it up field. But with questions at QB/OL you really want a stud blocking back to help and maybe Doug doesn't trust him 100% to get that done. CJ seems earnest enough but maybe he struggles with the Xs and Os of his assignments more than Fred and others?

This analysis is dead nuts on. Especially agree with the not enough "screw you.". Maybe EJ is just too tender hearted or something. Thin skinned with coaching criticism instead of getting pissed and getting better. Takes it personal. Good chance Thad will be the starter by end of year. Injuries aside. More instinctual and wants to be a football player. No he isn't an NFL starter but that's why we are a perennial dog team.

The coaches will take the guy with the attributes complimentary to the rest of the team. It's probably a tough decision every year to sort out those last few spots. I think Marrone is high on 7-11 though.

most the great quarterbacks are exemplary in some way and you could almost characterize them with a word or two. Montana--cool under pressure. Young--accurate. Marino--quick release. Brady--rare mistakes. Manning--prep and smarts. Rogers--all round great. Kelly--tough. how would you characterize EJ? I don't think he has the attitude to be great. I think he wants to be great but he doesn't realize how much it takes...the effort and time...the extreme amount of dedication and tenacity the never-give-up-ness. I wish he was a little more chippy. not cocky but more like Brady...pissed off. A little mean streak. A little more bad boy. he seems too milquetoast to be great. Wish otherwise but I don't see it. He's like the guy who is a decent golfer...he can sometimes rip it 300 down the fairway and sometimes he sinks a long putt or makes a nice chip or sand save but he's prone to the too often snap hook or the occasional blockng it OB right. maybe he can become a "game manager" and that would be great if he could limit mistakes and we could win with tough d and run game. I don't see us winning games because EJ plays great though.

Of ALL the Bills this year. CJ has been the one who I would most want on my team. Dis if you want but seriously? Come On! The guy is an awesome player.

12th man will be huge. Would love to hear some nasty taunting of Grabbing Bill the Cheater. get inside his head and make his anger froth. His press conference after last year when he made a questionable decision re. time out was classic. Belichick --- Dick. Belichick --- Dick. Bill -- grab this. Bill -- grab this. Bella --cheat. Bella -- cheat. Etc. Cox sux was a great one...we need to come up with a new one for the dick in the hood.

It is all about the draft. But even more so in a small market that does't have appeall for many players. And the game is all about who controls the line of scrimmage. Passing game or running game it still is all about the line of scrimmage. we need big men who can do this. Dareus. Yes. Lynch and McGahee and Spiller not so much. Pick up someone on waivers who can run. We need more Wood and Dareus. The draft is a double whammy to Buffalo because the draft is imperative. It's much harder to attract key players to fill in holes to Buffalo because it is a nondesirable destination for most free agents.
