  1. You must be fun at parties!! It started organically as a group of people that banded together and wouldn’t be disrespected. It was immediately adopted by the players that represented the Bills (ie Nick Barnett). It turned into charitable endeavors from the most organized fan base in the United States and the envy of all other fan bases. It’s about unity and family. We can criticize and talk bad about our family but those on the outside best not say a word. It has become a powerful recruiting tool for a team and region that, at one time, had a hard time recruiting. The players love it, the fans embrace it and the opponents dread it (but respect it). When we go on the road we don’t go like other traveling fan bases do; we go to takeover. We party together. We tailgate together. We chant together and march into the stadium together. It’s a movement that all Bills fans should embrace because every other fan base wishes that they had what we do.
  2. Beasley instantly became one of my favorite non-Bills when I heard the first track. Every athlete is a “rapper” and every rapper is an “athlete.” I have a ton of respect for those that can actually cross-over. Beasley, 2 Chainz, Quavo, Marvin Bagley, Game, J Cole and Wale have all had success. The unquestioned GOAT though is Dame D.O.L.L.A.
  3. ...and on that note I’d argue Moss and Edelman we’re both legit 1’s although Edelman isn’t prototypical.
  4. Am I a horrible person because I want to take guesses?
  5. Totally agree!! In this era of “player safety” how do you allow a guy in the league that is on tape saying “kill the head and the body will die?” There is no place for him.
  6. As someone that firmly believes it’s our #1 need you need someone that can be open, and make plays, regardless of the matchup. The Bills have a bunch of skills that mesh. They don’t have someone that just wins because he’s better than the guy across from him. Additionally, a #1 bumps everyone else down a slot and creates easier matchups across the board. I don’t think that the Bills need another guy (like a Zay or even Brown) they need a guy that can take over games when needed. They need a guy that team’s scheme for and roll coverage too. If you put Julio Jones or Davante Adams or Michael Thomas (who we should have drafted) or OBJ or Nuke onto this team they are instantly a Super Bowl contender.
  7. It’s funny I was actually thinking this morning, “i wonder if the Giants would ever trade Evan Engram?” He is such a PERFECT fit for this Bills team.
  8. I hated Gregg-O from the day he was hired until ... He is a horrible person and an arrogant POS. There’s no place in the game for that scumbag and his antics.
  9. They are a total nuisance in LA. I shot one and I don’t even hunt.
  10. That’s kind of my thought. If you are rebuilding you build around your best young players (Tunsil, Howard, Fitzpatrick, etc...). Apparently Miami has no interest in keeping their young talented players. Of course this makes no sense but they did get a haul for Tunsil. I guess that they will try again.
  11. Anyone paying attention knows that this is Singletary’s job. They might ease him into it but it’s very, very, very, very obvious that, from draft day, their plan was to hand him the keys. Gore will rotate in and probably even start but this isn’t going to be a 50/50 split.
  12. I liked Oliver and Singletary.
  13. It’s so obvious who watched the game and who read the box score.
  14. We are in agreement. It hasn’t been months but it’s been a little while. My buddy at the Steelers works for a guy that was at the Pats forever and he texted him, “if you don’t think that this has been going on for a little while you are an idiot.”
  15. I don’t suspect that it will go anywhere but that’s what I’ve heard from a few people. NO ONE is happy about this around the league.
  16. We are all in agreement that this was CLEARLY in the works for a while right? I haven’t read through the thread but we aren’t all naive enough to think that this Pats deal came together in 30 minutes right? FWIW, I have a good friend that works in the Falcons front office and they want it investigated. The Steelers are in the same boat.
  17. This is EXACTLY why people should never worry about the Bills “cap troubles.” There is no such thing as cap trouble in the NFL. Sometimes you have to get a little creative but every team can get every guy that they want. The Saints mastered this concept years ago...
  18. Don’t shoot the messenger...
  19. CTE He was trying so hard to tell us when he decided he wanted to look like Hulk Hogan.
  20. No doubt that he intended it to be hurtful. That’s ind of my original point though, it’s not hurtful. It would have cut much deeper if he said something like, “so that’s why your wife called me last night.” Not saying that’s happening, just that there are WAY better ways to hurt a white person than by calling them a cracker.
  21. That would certainly be the case (although Riley Cooper got by) and it’s a double standard. The reality is the history and context that created that is so much more vile than the history and context of cracker. Racist/homophobic/anti-semetic slurs do not carry equal weight (or even close). The background defines their ugliness.
  22. That’s kind of what I’m getting at. If you called me fat, bald, ugly, dumb, etc... it would hurt a lot more. I’m much, much, much more sensitive about that kind of stuff than I would be “cracker.”
