i just watched episode 4 and that start of episode 5...if it's not clear already, the lengthy exploration of the injustices black people in L.A. endured for decades provide critical context for the equally unjust verdict. in case you forgot, the jury ignored the evidence and freed OJ as an act of rebellion.

I train athletes for a living and I can tell you for 100% sure that when people show up hurt, they weren't doing what they were supposed to do. Either that, or they were flat-out making it up like Byrd did.

How funny is it that REX RYAN caused all this by coaxing his malcontent defense to play hard enough to turn Fitz back into Fitz for one week when the chips were down. If he pulls out one or both of those games, the Jets are in the playoffs and he has already signed for more than is on the table now.

I'm gonna do a 180 on this cat if this crap starts before we even get to camp. he has as much reason to be hurt right now as Jairus Bird did a few years ago.

the only thing i don't understand about this argument is how anyone here cares enough about it to stretch it to 43 pages???

I think that, by far, the biggest mirage about the Buffalo Bills is that we have some sort of dominant rushing attack. I'd love to know (actually, I wouldn't) what our vaunted rush attack would look like if Tyrod Taylor wasn't one of the best scrambling QBs in the league. People talk about our 2015 rushing attack like we just lined up and drove guys 4 yards back on every snap. To me it was one of the all time "smoke and mirrors" #1 rush offenses ever. I hate to be such a fence-sitter on this topic, but both sides have really good points. McCoy is by far the top talent we have at the position. He may only have 1 or 2 good years left and he may be massively overpaid, but he's still still incredibly explosive. I think a lot of the free lancing stems from (like in the video posted earlier) not knowing if his blocking will hold up. if the line plays better and more consistently, I predict a big year.

i still hate him for that one.

for some reason i can't get enough of this argument...

yeah really. and we traded him in his prime for a box of tape. is this even controversial?

how did we sweep them?

Oh, so that's what this is about.

Of course you're right.

1. 1st year, absolutely! 2nd year, less so...but occasionally. 3rd year not at all. 2. he was wrong about it in the sense that he chose not to play hard...not to sabotage the D per se, but to protect his own interests as he knew he was going to be cut loose and didn't want to be hurt. so we get it, you hate rex. but this p.o.s. prima donna really did us dirty last season. i'm thrilled he signed with Miami because i can't wait to see his overrated ass neutralized twice next year.

The thing I love about this thread is how everyone KNOWS Goodwin was injured a lot because he's also a long jumper.

This ****'s exhausting. We do not need a new stadium. WNY market is not ready for expensive PSLs and the crazy prices they pay in other cities. I have no idea if Pegula has the backbone or the capacity to stand up to them, but it's pretty obvious they're going to bang the drum till they get what they want Clearly the other owners have not moved on from their fantasy of driving the Bills out of Buffalo. I'm sure they're still trying to figure out how to drive the Bills to Toronto.

underrated: Sam Cowart overrated: London Fletcher

drank an IPA and tried again........43

i got 43, but i'm hung over

looks like my jersey curse continues...I just bough my 5 year old a 25 jersey for Christmas. now what am I going to tell him

haha...yeah i guess. i was more referring to the 100, but yeah, it's time for the guy to produce or move on, i agree with that. the fact that he can make an international team just training for football tells you all you need to know about the long jump these days. ...though having said that, it would be really cool for the entire planet to watch "Marquise Goodwin wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills of the NFL" at the next Olympics. He has a chance to medal and it would be some very cool publicity for the Bills. then he can report to camp and get cut if need be...

Biggest reason is that the best jumpers are generally the best sprinters, and few of them attempt that double any more. The training is so focused and specialized it's just really hard to do both. And of course, there is no money/glamour at all in the horizontal jumps compared to sprinting. The best kids give it up early.

It sure looks like the only chance Denver has is if Carolina becomes stupid and overconfident. I wouldn't necessarily bet on that, but i don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. I really think Newton has a screw loose, so that might give Denver a chance (?). Really, I just want to see Wade win, and that is the best I can do to make it seem plausible to myself. That was an absurd beating they put on Arizona last night.

i'm sure you know this, but he's only able to stay in track because the long jump has become such a weak event. it's a long way from the days of powell and lewis.
