Towel officially thrown in?

Leadership is done by example. When your coach is like, “Eff it!!! I’m my OWN man.”, it can’t have a positive effect on the players or the locker room.

27 years of Martial Arts condensed : : Assume everyone has a knife at minimum and probably a Gun. Don’t start crap, don’t engage with people who do! Being alive is better than being right.

Stats are nice but a more balanced offense is preferable, along with a markedly improved Defense

I moved to Charlotte in 98. My first job was managing an IHOP in Matthews. I was on the register up front when in walks Pete Metzelaars. Unmistakable!!! He had four young boys with him who he was doing some kind of charity/ big brother sort of event with. I introduced myself and thanked him for all the great memories. He was super gracious and down to earth.

Short and Star were drafted back to back by Gettlemen. Over his career, Short was the better player. His ability to disrupt the middle of the pocket was excellent. However, a shoulder injury is a big deal at that position. I’d like to see Beane kick the tires but the Bills need to do a serious physical investigation on that shoulder before signing him. Star and Short, healthy, playing together for a SB is exactly what this D needs. We are in win now mode and they would help immensely.

Meh

We have WFT, Dallas, Panthers, One Jets fan in our station. We give each other the business pretty hard. If I had a dollar for every time I heard “ You know what Bills stands for? Boy I Like Losing Superbowls, I’d be a rich man. My biggest fear is losing the SB again. The amount of crap I would take on top of my anguish would be intolerable.

As a letter carrier in Charlotte , I’ve got Bills Mafia on my route . Last year I got a wide brimmed, desert camo Bills hat from one. I constantly talk Bills out there with a few of them. Better than that, is wearing out other fans. Tons of Steelers fans here which I constantly harangue. Some are cool with it, some not….. oh well😈

At some game in the late 80s I was one of those guys pissing in the circular “ sinks” , packed house! In walks a Burke security guard, takes a look at us, whips it out and takes a leak in the garbage can😆😆😆 True story

So, eff the rules? Because you suddenly have TB’s back because in following the rules he might get hurt? Because, suddenly rules that have been in place for decades don’t matter in this instance because??? It’s a rule. It’s been a rule. This upcoming season it will still be a rule. I didn’t make the rule. I simply pointed out that not following any rule , for whatever reason, and getting caught after the fact is Still Breaking the Rule. Actions have consequences. Brady and Tampa should suffer the consequences for breaking the rule. Players get fined for not wearing the right socks. That’s a BS rule. But it is a rule. Doesn’t effect the game or Vegas. Might have made a difference to the teams who didn’t have to play Brady if someone targeted him. Not fair? Dirty play? Or real life in the NFL?

Hyperbolic yes. Off base, no.

You don’t know that. “Gee Officer, I know I shouldn’t drink and drive but I made it home so No harm, No Foul?”

First, I picked 13-3 last year….. Thank you, Thank you very much🤓 15-2 Losses to: Tampa Bay on a walkoff 50+ yard field goal after some kind of ridiculous Screw Job by the Refs. A flukey AFC East loss to either the Dolphins or Pats with a rash of short term Bills injuries contributing.

They would have followed the rules.

Yep. And the league investigated it. Brady isn’t Hughes and JH isn’t associated with multiple cheating for competitive edge scandal.

My guess is I highly doubt that but if so, that would look even worse. Brady himself would have to face discipline.

From the league's handbook: "All players who have reportable injuries must be listed on the practice report, even if the player takes all the reps in practice, and even if the team is certain that he will play in the upcoming game. This is especially true of key players."

And, yet again Tommy Terrific flaunts the NFL injury reporting requirements for the whole season. Clearly, the Bucs should pay a stiff penalty for this but my guess is it will be a slap on the wrist. Brady got his Lombardy. The NFL got their ratings and story line. “Nothing to see here.” https://news.google.com/articles/CAIiEDnBRq5T6ttAyxmL0S7R1xUqFggEKg4IACoGCAow5tYTMODEAjCyugQ?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen

You know how we all make fun of “ too many threads” about this guy or that subject? Ertz being the latest edition. You just can’t have too many Josh Allen threads. The videos starts and I’m just mesmerized…..😵😵😵😵

Who do I want? Oliver and Knox Who do I think? Gabe Davis

When they came to Spartanburg a couple years ago it was Awesome

I want an open competition and I want one of them to be heads and above the others, playing at a Top 10 level. I don’t think that will happen but…. I am not a Knox fan. He provides value as a blocker but I don’t believe he ever becomes a consistent weapon in our passing attack. I don’t know Hollister so he’s the next man up and I can dream.

Which, while probably true, is a major indictment on our TE group.
