J. Peterman is that you?

Your better solution not involving the use of a time machine is………….

Wow #13 is reeeeeeeeeally unlucky. Also, they really meant suffering fanbases. The top four in miserable would be Pats, Bruins, Celtics, Red Sox.

So let me see if I have this straight…..laid back surfer = can’t lead……cries to mommy when he loses = General Patton?

I don’t really disagree with much of that. I’ve generally been a proponent of both Beane and McDermott. I’ve seen this off-season as a little different because IMO we’ve lost far too many serious people/leaders. I worry that McD wants people he can control more than I’ve worried about that in the past. We’ll see but ditching Diggs, Poyer, Tre, Davis, Hyde,,,…and understanding there were reasons for all of the above…..makes me worried. They all took their craft seriously and cared primarily about winning. Our current leaders: Von Miller: A bit of a weirdo Milano: Quiet. Reclusive even Allen, Know, Dawkins: Goofballs Douglas: Another serious guy and apparently another guy having issues I’m hoping Hyde comes back. Who are the other guys you consider leaders?

Like a Powerball ticket.

Tim Graham lol. Documented rabble rousing liar.

He’s talented but despite his talent two teams have ditched him, 29 others didn’t pursue him and one, signed him for the league minimum. I’m not saying it’s impossible for him to develop a new attitude that changes those facts moving forward but it doesn’t change the facts just because of wishful thinking. The odds of him succeeding in the NFL are very low despite him perhaps having the appropriate physical skill set. If that sounds like a winner to you then cool. Will I root for a turnaround? Sure. He’s on the Bills. Do I expect it? No. Do I think it was smart to sign him? Not really. Call it low risk I suppose because financially that is true. It’s probably low locker room risk too because they can just ditch him, but it is not zero risk as there is opportunity cost to the roster spot. Not much, but some.

We can wait a few weeks until he is dumped, increase the “c” count and use some poetic license. Chase Claypool Cut; Curb Cicking Continues, Contender Cans Cantankerous Cretin Continuing Chronicled Concerns. That’s CCCCCCCCCCCCC

The Feds always have some dead giveaways. This guy supposedly: A. Finds out he is more Canadian than any other nationality AND B. Still has a will to live? Fed Fed Fed

That seems a little childish, personal, and unnecessary. The trifecta of weak posts. Run to the window and cash that ticket.

Can you give an example of why you disagree? How was he a cancer? Tweets?

Well the consensus must be right. He was a guy who produced immensely for the team and treated the fans well. He was visibly frustrated with losing. Could he have been better at hiding his emotions? Sure. Does that make him a malcontent? Hardly. Does it make his production easy to replace? Well if the consensus says so. People in here have taken Allen’s side for the “it’s one game” hearsay quote. I don’t know if any of the supposed locker room talk is even accurate so I’m not taking any sides, but if it is true, our QB is fine being unprepared for a few games every year. Dawkins too. To me, guys like that need to be pushed. If they’re being stereotypical laid back millennials, ditching guys who are willing to push is not a good management strategy IMO. And pardon me if I’m skeptical about reports of one decent practice meaning a serial loser now has Michael Jordan’s mindset. I’m old enough to remember when the board “consensus” was that Andy Isabella was the answer to all the Bills problems. He’s been kicked off two teams. Technically, not really, but realistically, yes. Loser.

Scuttlebut. Great reason to get rid of a driven top player who wants to win. We should definitely make sure everyone just wants to joke around and that nobody who gets frustrated with losing is tolerated.

It’s the naysayers that are acting weird. No real example of Diggs doing anything detrimental to the team. A ton of innuendo and supposition? Sure. Actual content? Nope. Same guy who interacted with kids in the stands before every game, right? The selfish guy. But now Chase Claypool is our savior? And people worried about Diggs being gone are the irrational ones? Geez.

Shirley you can’t be serious. He’s repeatedly proven himself to be a loser to the point where he signed for vet minimum. Technically you’re right. You’d also be right if you said it doesn’t matter that your Powerball numbers didn't hit last week; just if they hit next week. Spoiler alert: Nope.

If he’s that talented…..and he’s been kicked to the curb twice already……..no bueno. I might be remembering the wrong guy but didn’t White toss him down like he was a rag doll at the LOS?

It’s possible but premature.

He is awful and a loser. If he’s our best receiver that is B A D

This stuff about Diggs being a “cancer” is such garbage. He elevated the team when he arrived and all the “controversy” was either innuendo, made up crap, or based on Diggs wanting to win. He was serious about winning. Was he perfect in delivering his message? No. A cancer? Really? We lost Morse, Diggs, Poyer, White, and more serious leaders. It looks like we’re going to try out the goofball leadership style. Let’s hope it works.

You? Well, at least the “it’s all about me” thing tracks with membership in the spandex mafia.

Shirley you can’t be serious. Also can we just agree to get rid of the spandex mafia and see where things lead after that?

That’s second for me. First, i think…..wait……what is Skinner even doing in the defensive zone….he’s never there…..oh wait this isn’t the Sabres.

Sensors were expensive when Lou Saban was coaching the Bills.

How are they handling seasonal records like highest average? Jimmie Foxx, Joe DiMaggio, etc. lose their spot? Personally I can see a lot of ways to make stats count but far more important IMO is telling the stories of these players and have them regarded in the ways they deserve. Babe Ruth shouldn’t and doesn’t have to become supplanted for Josh Gibson to get the recognition he richly deserves. Bob Kendrick is a great ambassador and I’ve love to see him become more well known. There isn’t a lot of video of Ruth, Gehrig, Hornsby, etc and even less of Bell and Gibson. We need the stories told. Segregation is an important part of the story but not all of it. The pure baseball part is too.
