I think it is great what these players did, and represented peaceful, lawful protesting for disgusting unlawful behavior that should be condemned by all. They handled well, and hope this sparks more change, but in the right way, not breaking the law hurting poor shop owners, many African- American who did not deserve to have their shops looted. Do it the right way, and most Americans I know and all I’m friends with do not condone this despicable behavior taking advantage of their position in law enforcement. Just do it right. As I’ve said before, I pray for the Floyd family. We should be past this crap.

Doug, he definitely was a Swiss Army knife. I don’t remember any NFL player that played O Line, D Line, LB, and ST. He is the definition of a Swiss Army knife. God bless him for his volunteer work with our beloved Bills.

I’m truly sorry for the 8% losing their jobs, and have been honest with all of you I’ve faced the same issue. Thankfully I’m on my way back, but as much as it stinks for the pay cuts, they still have a job, and will probably come back once they are back on track. Any valued employee will probably offered a job back when things open. It does suck and I feel for those people. Given some severance and health insurance is a good gesture from someone new to this thing. Not to get religious, but they will be in my prayers.

I heard that too Yolo. He is a spokesperson of several charities and donates a lot of time to his community. Great person like Lorax who emulates the best of the Bills along With Fredex. One thing previous administrations did is bring in high character, and high integrity guys all of us can be proud were Buffalo Bills!

MJS, I’m not saying Kyle wouldn’t come back, but he has a lot of causes and is very involved in his own community. I know the coaching staff will always welcome his help, but he is retired and deserves to have a life with his family given how much he’s given to the city and the Bills. I can see him maybe showing up a little, but how many other players from other teams keeps coming back to in essence coach new rookies. Hardly any, and he is one of my favorite Bills.

Very cool. I don’t see Kyle coming around much now given most additions were veterans and he’s done about all he can for Oliver. H. Phillips learned everything from Kyle his first year. Lorax will be a welcome addition as an advisor. What a great guy and a role model for young players on how to behave as a professional athlete. He was very respectful of the Brees thing, and spoke to peaceful, lawful demonstrations and protests. I couldn’t agree more. The next march we have here in Tampa, I’ll be at in a support role.

Street Kings, I’m sorry you were taught that and yes, I’m Caucasian. I was taught the same as well as I have a decent amount of law enforcement in my family. My uncle, a retired Detective, and my cousin, a Buffalo Captain both said I should do the same as you were taught as officers are scouting us by nature. I’m not giving anyone a reason to think I’m doing something wrong. Thankfully, I’m not pulled over almost ever because my kids say I drive like a Grandpa. The easiest way to not get pulled over is have a functional vehicle and obey the traffic laws. For work, I drive as in Medical Device Sales and when I’m called at the last minute to support a surgeon in a case, I always tell them it will take x number of minutes as I don’t want the ticket, take the class, and no way I can drink alcohol and get behind the wheel. I’m now divorced so when I go out on dates, my limit is one glass of wine. Im not blaming the persons of color whether Black, Brown, or Yellow (my daughter is adopted from China) and it’s disgusting what happened to Mr. Floyd, and anyone else mistreated by segments of law enforcement. I feel for anyone living with this prejudice. Just treat people by the content of their character, not how they look. It’s nothing more than narrow minded, ignorant thinking. Don’t tell me it’s how you’re raised as all of us have a choice how to behave and think. I don’t tolerate in my house, nor in my behavior. I had one time my oldest son when in high school was watching a college game at my home with his friends, and one person made what he thought was a funny comment. I embarrassed the hell out of my son as I told these boys they are never allowed in my house Again if I hear anything like that again. I said, there is no room for even kidding about a narrow minded view. I said, am I clear and made each one of them answer individually to me. They never did it again. That’s where you stop this stuff by not tolerating anything Like it, even benign comments. Not in my home, ever!

I think Daboll has been a panacea for all wrong with our offense, and he had to call plays based on our strengths. The line is sharp, they have the talent he needed, and it’s down to Allen playing better. Did he make dumb calls at times like running Gore vs. Singletary at times when he was wearing out? Yep, but we could do worse.

How can you say Brady who has won 6 SB’s. I didn’t say I liked him, but he was playing last year with mediocre talent at best outside of Edelman. I’d table that classification until after this year when he plays with Godwin, Evans, Brate, Howard, and Gronk 2.0. Allen has a great deal of potential, but he’s still ascending so I guess I understand. Darnold plays ona bad team with a worse coach. Rivers and Mayfield May surprise people, if the new Cleveland coach can pull this team together. Rivers was good two years ago, and played behind a crappy line for years. He now has a line, talent at the skills positions, and a solid defense. I’m not guaranteeing a good year, but Reich knows him better than anyone so if he is going to have a comeback year, it would be this year.

Good job Stu.

Sorry, I opened up before these articles came out this morning. How stupid can Fromm be with those comments.

I guess I’m uninformed, but what did Fromm say on a text? I must be the only one who doesn’t know. As far as Frasier’s reference to Gandhi, great take and love that man. For those who read books on him or even saw that movie, he was an amazing leader. He had more in common with Christ than anyone I have ever read in history. I understand different faiths, but the messaging was almost identical.

My observation on Brees’s comments is simply love one another as you’d want to be loved. Demonstrate peacefully and lawfully to bring attention to a real deep seeded problem. Someone placed in another thread how can you not kneel for the flag, but supposed to kneel for the symbol of Christ. Regardless of you’re spiritual or religious beliefs, kneeling in any of the Christian faiths or in the Muslim faith is simply a sign of reverence for you’re higher power. I understand kneeling during the flag is a peaceful way of demonstrating contempt for injustices primarily directed at the police. I personally think people of all faiths, race, ethnicity, and creed should peacefully and lawfully demonstrate as MLK did in the 60’s. He’s one of my heroes, just like what Gandhi accomplished for his country. Looting is wrong and against the law. There is no justifying it. Kneeling during the flag is disrespectful, but players have a right to do it, just like burning a flag. It shows a tremendous disrespect for people and their families who fought for their country like my dad and two uncles in Korea, my other uncle during Vietnam. Thankfully they all made it back, but some of their friends didn’t. There are a lot of ways for athletes who have a bigger pulpit and I applaud them for using their voice to bring to light injustices. I won’t bore all of you with details, but my best rep in Tallahassee was disrespected in front of me more time than I can count when in Southern GA. I felt horrible for him and not that he needed it spoke up for him with some racist doctors. I told those doctors, and my rep, that account is fired and he is not go back and endure those biggest. He’s such a good man, he said Dan, I can take it. I told I can’t and won’t. My point that I have embedded into my generation is to never participate or allow off color remarks etc. Thankfully they have and even my daughter adopted from China was brutally teased over the Pandemic. Needless to say the Principal suspended several students at a Christian school. It’s only a small example of what people of color have endured and is a sign of a lack of intelligence and a narrow minded view of life. So did Brees say anything wrong? Not in my eyes, but I respect others who feel differently. What is insane is every patrol guide across America strictly forbids Choke holds of any form and I sincerely hope that officer goes away for 25 to life for Murder 2. I truly feel terrible for the family and friends of Mr. Floyd, and want to believe if that happened here in FL in front of me I’d intervene even if it meant me getting arrested. I know he is in my prayers, and hope something good comes out of respectful demonstrations win the day. If everyone just treated others like they do at Xmas time (you know how people are just a little nicer to each other at that time) how much better would all of us be as a community. I know I am normally a very kind person to my fellow man, but will work a little harder at going the extra mile for those of all backgrounds.

Hapless and crew, funny you said that. I used to deliver pizzas as a high school and a college job along with the Buffalo News in college. My point is I used to deliver pizzas all the time to the McKinley Park Inn to the players when housed there. I swear and I was a national level power lifter (been around a lot of thick dudes), but House Ballard was one of the biggest men I’ve ever seen. I delivered a sheet pepperoni like it was yesterday. He was nice, and asked him, sir are you’re friends coming? He said no, that’s just for me. Oh and also deliver3d a bucket of wings. Of course I said yes sir, and gave me a great tip. Not there, but I bet they sequester these guys somewhere so they can contain things. It does make sense if they get something it’s controlled in camp.

So we have two 7-9, and two 8-8 teams ahead of us. Ok. I like Peter King, but this is a reach. It’s basically an indictment on Allen. I wouldn’t put the Bucs that high, but they will be much better given I live here now and follow that team as well. I would have put the Bills around there at 8 or maybe a slot better, and the Bucs at 11-13. At the end of the day, who cares? The wins will decide our rankings. There is a freight train coming at the AFCW, NFCW, AFCE, and the Titans and Steelers. That train is a business decision. The name is Moss, Zack Moss. Oh, and Diggs are going to make CB’s like Gilmore and others look like fools. Can’t wait. BILLIEVE!

Chandler, thanks for sharing. Those were some real early memories for me primarily the mid to late 70’s. I do remember OJ’s 2003 season only in that my older brother and dad went nuts when the Juice hit the record. I was three, but funny that was one of my earliest memories. I remember, saying mom, why are they yelling so much. She as a mom always says, never mind Danny, eat you’re vegetables.

Well, it’s a crap shoot as Hauscka has been 78.9% for the last two years, but from 2012-2017 he floated from the low to high 80’s%. Bottom line is he has slipped a bit, but he did have an injury in 2018. It’s true Bass was 71.4%, but his average is 79.8% for the three years. 2018 was over 90.5% in college. The other thing is House $ doesn’t seem to have the leg for the kickoffs as much anymore, and Bass has a leg that boom kicks. We probably won’t know until they come out of training camp. The only last piece Beane May consider is Bass is considerably cheaper than House. House is approximately $1.75 mil. and Bass is a few hundred thousand.

Fitz will most likely win some games for them and Gailey knows Fitz strengths and challenges. He always at some point tries to push it too much to win and throws pics. The flip side is he tries so hard to win. The team is better with the free agency acquisitions and all of those draft pics, but they have like al of the AFCE a tougher schedule. I expect we see Fitz for 5-7 games and at some point they will flip to Tua. They are not making the playoffs so it will happen.

If beta tested well as you previously stated Mango, it’s not a bad idea to use pre-draft. I’m not an expert so I’ll defer to the guys who stated their experiences have been lifelike in real time.

Easy solution. Get Sirius, and listen to MTC in the afternoon, vs. those two buffoons. I haven’t listened to the WGR afternoon show in years. As far as OBD, I definitely would have preferred Sal and Brown, or alternating Sal and Tasker. I heard Tasker today, and not sexist, but just don’t get the appeal of Glab. She’s good for those fluff pieces on football trivia, but just not good as a host. Just to make a point on the feminist thing, if anyone has listened to Mary Kay Cabot who reports on Cleveland, she is excellent on interviews with NFLR. She knows, really knows what she is talking about with her team like Sal for us, or even Vic who hosts a weekend show on NFLR, and is dry, but quite good.

I like the effort on the shirt. There is someone on this board who can do a graphic design where he’s in a Bills uni, and alligator arms Gilmore is laid out on the ground. As far as the other thing, I’m a little confused about his agents comment there is wiggle room for third rounders in compensation as with the CBA, I must be wrong, but isn’t it relatively straight forward. I assumed it was offset language as there is room for negotiations on that part. I guess it doesn’t matter with the suspension of live team activities, and from what I’ve read he’s been on the zoom calls, and he was in FL with Allen. All good signs. Not worried about it, but move on. Back to the point of the thread. Loving the shirt. Someone can make some coin if cleaned up a little.

He’s averaged 5.33 sacks per year since he started in 2014. He hasn’t played all 16 games most seasons, and he’s just not worth even $13 mil.

I’m sick of Clowney. Seattle, Cleveland and rumors TN all made offers and he is way overvaluing his worth. He’d be smart to just go back to Seattle and accept he is not getting an $18 mil. offer. Even if it is a short deal so he can increase his stock for next year. The crazy thing is if he’s not going to be a stud opposite Watt, he’s not going to do it all.

BB, I like the optimism, but the Hawks always seems to put together a nice team, and if the Titans play like they did at the end of the season, that one is possible too. I think it was Marietta at the helm when they played us and they weren’t running the heck out of Henry in the early part of last year. I’m with you for sure on the Steelers and Raiders, although Big Ben is most likely back. They were a different team without him when we beat them. I still think we’ll beat them though.

Hey John, I think the only at Murphy makes the team, if there are other players on the Edge get hurt. I doubt it on Griffin. We already brought in Jefferson, Addison, Butler, H. Phillips is coming back, and I know those aren’t all Edge guys, but Jefferson can do both. This isn’t even mentioning Epenesa.
