Seems like this thread is a perfect launching pad for all of us to tone down the vitriol that has permeated the site over the last few years. We're all Bills fans fans, each entitled to our own opinion, and healthy discourse is the lifeblood of a robust and active fanbase. To that end, I'm removing my signature that called out another poster and embarking on a campaign of presenting my own opinion while respecting differing opinions with both ears (and mind) open. Go Bills!

I do believe there were phones and credit cards in 1993, right? Or was the only way to secure a ticket for that game to physically drive to OBD?

Backing off

Don't you think that pre-draft analysis was super lazy though? "Marrone coached him at 'Cuse so he's going to take him?" Seemed like people put no thought into it and then were upset when the Bills didn't follow the lazy script that these folks had laid out in their minds. No one knew Nasaib better than Marrone and Hackett at draft time. That they didn't take him speaks volumes about how they felt about him contributing at the NFL level.

It's never that black and white though, is it? Seems like if a poster has a positive take on any specific thing OBD does they are labeled an "apologist" and if a poster bashes OBD for a specific move they are labeled a "hater". The concept a single poster being able to objectively applaud one move while criticizing another has been lost. It's a shame.

Hogboy!

Eye opening stuff Dibs, nice work.

What in the heck? How is this even a thread? Nassib? Seriously?

That's how I interpreted it as well.

Pettine should be embarrassed. His boys just got humiliated.

This team sucks against the run.

They should be arrogant. Why wouldn't they be?

IMO "not remotely ready" sez he didn't see all of Buffalo's games. That said, Manuel has a TON to prove and IMprove on in 2014. How hard is he going to work in the os? Is he going to go the early career Brady route and earn the parking spot awarded to the player that puts in the most work in the offseason? Is he going to shore up the accuracy issues that plagued him in his rookie year? Is he going to grab the team by the balls and lead it? Crap, is he going to stay on the field enough in 2014 to answer those questions? We'll see.

Kyle.

They must have stayed at the Holiday Inn on Delaware!

What kind of career?

It's lemon squeezy man, he refuted his own points.

Look dude, you made a claim that was proven to be incorrect. Just move on. You are embarrassing yourself with all this rationalization.

Just blame, baby!

Dude you posted the same stuff over and over for months about the Bills' FO being incapable of fooling anyone vis a vis the draft. Glass houses, man.

I'm more excited to see what he can do in 2014 if he can stay on the field. The dude has talent when healthy.

I've heard him mention a few times now after a win him hoping to "get on a roll" and "winning a few in row". I get it, but i wish he wouldn't talk in those terms, and I'm afraid he's communicating that to the team. Getting on a roll comes from taking it one week/game/half/quarter/drive/play at a time and chunking out the work. I'm hoping he's not losing focus on the small stuff that invariably takes care of the big stuff.

This could be an Epsteinesque circa 2003 (Billy Mueller, Cabin Mirror, Big Papi) type move. Hopefully the player can stay healthy.

He's not a guard. Success will sell out the stadium! Er, ah, maybe not. You just disproved your own point.

I think its about 55%-45% for me. He has shown some solid stuff, but also some tentative stuff. This latest injury is not helping.
