Brian Flores suing NFL, NY Giants, Dolphins, Broncos.
K D replied to BillsFan4's topic in The Stadium Wall
Why hasn't any former players filed a class action suit against the NFL and NBA? These leagues need more diversity and representation among players. If I was cut by either league I would definitely sue. Once you get to a certain level of athletics it's all pretty shady how certain players make it and others don't when you are all so closely talented and a lot of times it's based on how well the scouts think you will continue to develop and not about how good you are currently. Doesn't seem fair. Clearly there is a bias towards certain demographics of players for whatever reason, one of which is perceived athleticism. -

Trying to force equitable outcomes never works. It's not the fairest or most efficient way to operate a business. There are fewer female CEOs - is that because everyone is sexist? Or because women often choose to start a family and take time away from work rather than working their way up the corporate ladder? Women are also more sympathetic by nature so they choose to be nurses or teachers, jobs that help people. Should you hire the best person for the job or just based on race/gender/etc? The latter is by definition racist/sexist. As a white CB they tried to switch me to S because I had little to no chance to make it at that position. That seems pretty racist don't you think? How many white CB's can you name besides Jason Sehorn? I think they need more white CB's in the NFL. For every black CB there should be a white one. It's only fair right? Or should they just hire the best person for the job? -
Have the last two weeks put to rest the debate about the 2017 draft?

Mahomes successful in KC, Allen successful in Buf. End of story. Mahomes can't do what Allen does and vice versa. If Allen isn't the player he is we don't have a running game at all for instance. Each situation is unique -

The Giants hired the Bills Asst GM (who has absolutely no ties to Brian Flores). And then the Bills Asst GM hires the Bills OC. Wow, shocker. I wouldn't be surprised if they were already decided on Daboll and that's why they went with Schoen. They want to be the Bills and they want Daniel Jones to be Allen, who wouldn't? Flores should have saved his race card and not used it up on this one. Just because a new GM brings in his guy doesn't mean it has anything to do with racism. It was the Bills package deal they were looking for. -
Anyone that watched our 2 playoff games and wanted a new OC after that can't be taken seriously as a human being. Literally 2 of the best offensive performances in post season history. You don't get better than that. If you think the offense will improve next year I have a bridge to sell you
-
People saying they aren't worried because who wouldn't want to work with Allen...yea but does Allen want to work with them? Learn an entire new offense, new verbage, new schemes? He was able to get better every year because they had continuity. In New England they don't change the scheme when someone leaves they just plug and play. Coaches and players, all replaceable for them. All of these other teams in turmoil replace coaches every couple of years and they start back at square one. Losing all of our offensive coaching staff is going to be an issue and I'm surprised they didn't already have a plan in place to promote within. As soon as Daboll was hired the Bills should have announced the promotion of everyone on the offensive side of the ball with Dorsey as OC
-
I'm talking more about our bigger UFA's like Mario Addison, Ike Boettger, Matt Breida, Vernon Butler, Jerry Hughes, Taiwan Jones, Efe Obada, Isaiah McKenzie, Siran Neal, Harrison Phillips, Emmanuel Sanders, Levi Wallace, Justin Zimmer. More than a couple of those guys might be on the Giants (or Dolphins if Daboll goes there) next year
-
And the poaching begins. The Bills have a long list of UFA's that will probably find their way to the Giants. We joke and say Buffalo is the only NY team but if you are a wealthy 20 something year old you want to live in NYC, LA, Miami, or Vegas. NYC will be very enticing to a lot of our guys and those that aren't getting a lot of playing time here will get on the field a lot easier there.

Ask Red Sox or Cubs fans - after you finally do win it all everything after that is not quite as fulfilling as the journey it takes to get to that point. The Bills are still a young team. Enjoy the journey. The ups and the downs. Then when we finally do win one it will be that much more special. A young Bills team lost the AFC championship game to the Bengals in 1988. As we all know now, that was just the beginning

What Would You Consider a Successful Season? - Poll
K D replied to Doc Brown's topic in The Stadium Wall
This season has been fun but it would be a disappointment if we don't beat KC on Sunday. The narrative will be that the Chiefs are our daddy and we don't have the team to beat them in the postseason and get to the Superbowl. KC is the new Pats. I think we just proved beyond any doubt that the 1 game vs the Pats in the wind was a fluke and they are not a team to be concerned with any longer. KC is the real threat and the whole offseason the question was how do the Bills beat KC and get over the hump. We will be in the same position we were last offseason if we don't get it done and take the next step. -
Right because you are there and you see how much work these guys put in. Or are you just going by what a salty fired coach said about his former team to make it seem like it wasn't his fault he's now unemployed? All of these guys work hard. Here's a vid from last off-season showing how they were all excited by how hard Tua was working. The difference is he's just not very good. If Josh Allen was as bad as Tua I think you would have a problem with how much golf he plays too. Josh was probably the 7th best QB this season by the numbers so why is he playing so much golf when 40 yr olds are playing better than he is??? No down time just football 24/7!!!!
-
I'm definitely going to buy one of the old stadium seats and put it in my living room and have my wife kick it from behind so I can simulate being at the game
-
Hate to break it to you but Josh Allen plays golf too! Flores is blaming his firing on having a bad QB plain and simple. He kept putting Fitzy in and the Dolphins had to finally get rid of Fitzy so he would play Tua. The rumors are that they are thinking if Houston hires Flores then Deshaun Watson will want to stay

I'm assuming if you voted for the current regime then you have never run a business, studied economics, or even balanced a checkbook. You can't give everyone free everything, print endless dollars, and then expect everything is going to be ok. Where do you think the money comes from to pay for this socialist stuff? Do you see rich people selling their numerous houses and cars because they can't afford them anymore due to higher taxes? In fact rich people get richer during inflation because they own assets. It's nice to want better for those who are suffering, but you have to have an actual realistic plan and throwing fake money at the problem is not the answer. You guys live in a fairy land and it's very sad to see. I'm pretty much a centralist when it comes to politics. I don't care what you do as long as it doesn't impact me. I just try to have common sense, which the current clowns in office do not seem to have. Social media makes it worse because it gives a voice to people that we don't need to hear from. Growing up we were able to just ignore the stupid people. Now they are everywhere and they are all ganging up together. It's very sad to see. If you are getting your political advice from celebrities or people on Twitter then please just keep it to yourself because you fall into the stupid category previously mentioned. I don't see how anyone could support what's currently going on or try and spin it as good. You are so against the "other guys" that you just ignore the stupid stuff your own party is doing. Please - everyone just needs to use common sense. This is getting ridiculous.

This is BAD for us. Colts lose but then beat Jax next week they are still in and playing us in round 1 instead of us playing Patriots. You really think Raiders beat Chargers last game to get in? What's more likely?

Above all else, the Bills beat themselves yesterday by taking the ball out of Josh Allen's hands. When they drafted him, the ongoing narrative was that we needed a big, strong armed QB to throw it through the wind and snow. Well yesterday we had wind and snow and we were scared to throw it until the 4th quarter when we had no other choice. We couldn't stop the run, sure, but we only gave up 14 points. That's a game you need to win. I grew up watching the teams of the 90's win by touting a "homefield advantage" when opponents had to come to Buffalo. They couldn't handle the elements and weren't as prepared for the snow as we were. "Where else would you rather be than right here right now" was the battle cry. Coming to Buffalo in December and January made it almost unfair at times. I was young but I can't remember any games where the conditions were too bad for Jim Kelly. The weather wasn't great as Frank Reich put up 35 points in the 2nd half in the greatest comeback game. I can remember Andre Reed catching a TD pass over the middle and sliding across the snow/ice. When was the last time we felt like we had an advantage when the weather turned bad? As much as I loved those games of the 90's, this seems to be a much different team. How many of us were watching the weather report and dreading this game knowing there would be snow and wind? That doesn't sound like much of a homefield advantage to me. More like a homefield DISADVANTAGE. And that leads to me to my point. The Bills just invested $258 million into Josh Allen for the next 7 years. During this time, it's expected that the Bills will be building a new stadium. All indications point to the stadium being an open-air stadium across the street from the current stadium which is smack dab in the southtowns lake effect snow belt. After what I saw yesterday, it's never been more obvious to me that the Bills need to spend more money to build a dome. Are we really going to have possibly another decade of not passing the ball because of bad weather? Are we really going to have the opponent's kicker being able to read the wind while ours can't? Or the opponent running the ball down our throats? It seems pretty obvious to me... BUILD A DOME.

We have printed tickets from Ticketmaster. Anyone know how to add these to a digital wallet? It says they have a chip in the printed tickets so they can be scanned but the Bills said no paper tickets accepted so this is confusing. From my Ticketmaster account it says these tickets can't be managed because they were printed and mailed to us so not sure how to proceed...

It was Bills 56 Steelers 44 and then it jumped to 51 Steelers 49 Bills instantly at about 7am today. Did the mail in votes get delivered overnight again? -
Call your shot: Who will the Bills pick in the 1st round?
K D replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This. If they stay at 30 and nothing weird happens with players dropping I think it is Asante Samuel Jr. McDermott was the D coordinator and secondary coach for his dad when he was making pro bowls. FSU plays zone. If McDermott has his way they will go CB and go with a familiar name he feels he can trust -
I told you guys Josh Allen wasn't any good. Let the Money Mitch era begin!!

We just had an election where almost half of the country thinks it was rigged. If you want to legitimatize the results and shut the conspiracy people up then you shouldn't have any problem with a common sense law that says you have to show ID before voting. Technology is also available for biometric, iris, facial recognition. ID would be the least invasive. You can't go to a Bills game without them scanning your ticket. It's common sense. If you want to have another election where half of the country is rioting then don't change anything.
