Prickly Pete

What team has both an offense and a defense that is "elite"? I want to see the offense become "elite" first and foremost. I've had enough time watching crappy Bills offenses to last a lifetime.

I am feeling the cognitive dissonance in my business partner. We have argued for years now, and he is lashing out a bit because he can't cope with accepting that all the nonsense he has been spouting is wrong, and virtually all my predictions are coming true. He won't admit the source of his irritability of course.

Yeah, my bubble is Los Angeles.... I can't wait

No, everywhere.

You're going to lose.

When he came back after the injury, he had made a big leap. It was obvious. I can't wait for this season!

You left out that he is an A-hole

I don't expect him to be assassinated, at least not right away.

Interesting. Now I think I remember hearing about this actually, years ago. I know he wasn't well liked. Between that play, and the bogus facemask penalty on Bruce Smith against the Bengals the season before.... it's painful to think how far those teams could have gone.

???? That is a pretty serious accusation, what is the basis of it? It's not that I can't fathom it being true, but need some kind of evidence.

How does Tibs still get responses? I blocked him years ago.

I get zero satisfaction from that play.

Yeah, that's something to revel in. "It was a great learning moment for the kids". I always loved the Ronnie Harmon drop in the Browns playoff game, myself.

I don't believe that they would sign all these Free Agent O-linemen and then still use the 9th pick on a Guard. The question isn't really "How good is this guy?" it's "How much better is he than the guy we have, and how much more of a difference can he make?" I don't think he can make more of a difference than a top prospect D-lineman could for this team. The Bills need help there, and it's the obvious strength of the draft, it seems the most likely, by far.

Yeah, when someone references "Faith and Family" I'm immediately skeptical

It's okay, man. I'm just messing around. But it would be like me ignoring the question, popping into this thread and just dismissing any discussion with "They need to change the logo". Yeah, it's related, but not really the topic the OP started the thread to discuss. Like you said, "context".

You gotta start with the trenches.

You win in the trenches. PERIOD.

TRENCHES!

I hear injured guys sometimes never return to form.

So any time a person wants to talk about any player that isn't a linemen, someone will HAVE to pop in with "You win in the trenches". No comment on the player suggested, just a dismissal. Can't discuss say, a Wide Receiver, without having the obligatory "Trenches!" thrown into the middle of the thread, because fans must be beaten down if they think the team MIGHT be thinking about a skill position player. We NEED constant reinforcement that "You win in the trenches! Don't even discuss other positions!".

Flogging? $500 fine? What great travesty of justice has occurred? Yep. It's way worse than some petty fine. It's gonna be great! It's going to be the centerpiece of the Pats season. I expect to see a shortened stub of rubber, with a hand glued to it, thrown on the field this season.

I think he should be in prison for life, because he is the rich owner of a rival football team. When I see a wealthy guy get away with a HJ, it brings the injustices of the world into focus. You're out of your mind. Get a grip.

It's a misdemeanor. No one is in jail for this crime, unless they can't pay the fine, or have some prior record.

It's a misdemeanor. Get a grip.
