  1. Right, because the Bills are regular headliners on ABC’s World News Tonight like they are tonight.
  2. I see this as a good thing: 1) I suspect it motivates him to crush some people this year. And, 2) It also keeps him humble and hungry. But yes, it is ridiculous.
  3. So the add is somewhere between .4 and 1.1 ???
  4. He certainly is campaigning for it . . .
  5. I know this fact is inconvenient to your perspective, but to make myself feel good about trying to help make the world a better place, I’ll repost it here: “Do a Google search on the topic and, depending on how one classifies it, experts report that no more than 10%, to as low as 2%, of all rape accusations are falsified. So, even in the best of odds, 9 out of 10 accusations are proven true.”
  6. The issue is not what they did Thursday, the issue is what they didn’t do for three weeks before with admittedly having the “boulders” of the accusations. Those seem to be some pretty big boulders to ignore for three weeks. …. Reporters have the right and responsibility to ask those questions.
  7. "Everything that can be said, has been said already." And like most meeting at work, not everyone has said it yet, so the meeting, the threads, will drag on-and-on.
  8. Let's not kid ourselves, in the eyes of the national media, and the general public outside of WNY, the Bills and the Browns are now the same thing.
  9. I love the Buffalo Bills. I've been a diehard fan of them longer than most people on this broad have been alive. My loyalty to them will not change because of this situation. BUT, to say they handled this with class, I'm not there yet. What bothers me, is they at least new about this since July 29. Why was there not an urgency then? At that point, their actions indicate that football was more important than life. Do a Google search on the topic and, depending on how one classifies it, experts report that no more than 10%, to as low as 2%, of all rape accusations are falsified. So, even in the best of odds, 9 out of 10 accusations are proven true. That fact alone should have caused the Bills to move into an accelerated gear to get to the truth and put a pause on their loyalty to Araiza. I realize I do not know much about what they did or did not do at that point. But the evidence is clear it was not enough to convince them to keep from moving forward with Araiza. I think the world of Beane and McDermott, and the Pegulas, and what they have done for this team. But I can't give a shallow fan nod to them on this and say "good work, way to put this behind us, now let's get on with winning football games." Bills fans, don't think for a minute the national media and public's general response to this is going to commend the Bills for how well they handled it. In their eyes, the Bills and the Browns are now the same thing. Get use to it. The lack of urgency and movement once they knew about the charges (charges that, once reported, prove to be true over 90% of the time) will leave a stench on this team. I do believe that what happened in the organization after July 29 has to be accounted for. The actions of the team, in releasing Haack and committing to Araiza, do not scream "thorough investigation" or that they took the accusation as seriously as they should have when they first learned about it. Sorry, as much as I respect what this regime has done for us, they fumbled this one and I cannot agree with anyone on here that thinks this justifies the label of "class organization." They convincingly and by their own doing, were not in this circumstance.
  10. The Browns are the clear front runners.
  11. It’s at 3:00 PM today.
  12. Congratulations! I know your parents are very proud of you. 😁
  13. Just hoping to be the one to hit 250.
  14. I really don't get why the NFLPA is an issue, or has anything to say. By Tuesday, the Bills can cut any 27 people they want for whatever reason they want. Maybe they don't like how he drops the ball on his punts? And unless they have guaranteed money, they do not have to pay them anymore. The NFLPA can cry me a river. Just cut him, hundreds of other people will be between now and Tuesday.
  15. Nothing yet Heather Prusak @haprusak · Follow We will be live streaming the presser at http://wivb.com when it starts at 4.
  16. Don't envy Sean McDermott today. Getting this team focused and ready to play may be the biggest test of his leadership as the Bills Head Coach. The Peterman disaster is up there, but that was just football; unfortunately for everyone this is a bigger and darker cloud over the team. GO BILLS!
  17. It seems to me, this situation is exactly what the Exempt List was created for, even if the incident happened before he was officially an NFL player. This situation will not be resolved in a few days, there are too many variables that have to be sorted out. If he is guilty, he deserves whatever punishment the judicial system can give him. But, if he is innocent, this gives him appropriate time to clear his name and then return to his football career. .... The verdict is not going to come this week, it could take months. For that reason, it seems to me this is where the exempt list helps everyone--it protects the league and team from having to give a half-informed verdict, and allows the legal system to do it's job with the accused. Moreover, I think (I do not know with any certainty) that the Commissioner has authority to do this when there is just cause.
  18. I think I'm good. We're decent even without Tre, and there is solid depth.
  19. We've gone from out-of-this-world punter to this. And "this" will be just fine with me as well.
  20. Yes. He must be married at least 10 years, have at least four kids, 3 dogs, live in a nice middle-class neighborhood, and coach LL baseball in the off-season. And his wife must be wholesome and attractive, but modest, be a home room mom, bake, sew her kids school uniforms, and sell essential oils to earn money for the child from the slums of Kenya that the family sponsors through World Vision.
