  1. I probably suck, but I look at friends as people who come in and out of your life at a particular place at a particular time.  Sometimes you stay friends for a long time because that thing that brought you together stays constant, sometimes you drift apart and that's ok.  It's not that I don't like you anymore it's just that the thing that bonded us in the first place is gone. You have your stuff, I have my stuff. Rather than try to force that relationship to continue it's ok to let it fade and make new connections in your current place and time.  Out of all the people I considered friends in grade school or high school I still talk to one on a semi-regular basis.  He's a great dude, love him to death, but we've lived 300+ miles apart for almost 30 years now.  We've both moved on and grown in ours lives.  We touch base every now and again and it's nice to do that and if we lived closer it would be much easier to reestablish that bond but as it is I'm good with it.  Out of all my college friends I still talk to 3 and I only see one of them regularly. Not including the one I ended up marrying. I see her every day.  The one I see regularly lives near me, the other two don't hence I don't see them often.  Friends from former jobs? Yeah, nobody.

     

    Grade school/high school people are hard. So many grew up to be so different from what you knew. I have people I used to know who are in prison for some unpleasant things and that's not the person I knew when I was a kid.  A bunch of my high school friends are dead. Several didn't make it out of their 20's. One of my college friends died before we got out of college.

     

    I also don't do the social media thing anymore which probably makes it more difficult, but to be honest I feel like all of the is totally superficial and not really relationship maintenance.  It's LAMPing 99% of the time with the other 1% being heinous crap that makes you question why you liked them in the first place. Deleting all of that was the best move I've made in the last 10 years.  You miss the dopamine hits at first, but once that stops, you don't miss it at all and you become glad you're not part of it.

    Philly made the SB last season with the least injured roster in the league.  No coincidence there.

    Exactly what injuries occurred on the offensive side of the ball that have contributed to the lack of production? Even with all of the injuries, the defense has performed admirably and has done enough for us to win games. The defense is not the problem right now. I don’t want to hear excuses.  If the defense was giving up 30 points a game, then I would say yes there is credence to your argument. 

     

    And there it is. The offense is relatively healthy. McDermott likes to talk about complementary football. Well, when your defense is banged up your offense has to pick up some slack, potentially score more and it's been the exact opposite.

    Not going to call you anything. But I will laugh that you spend your time crying here about how you don't watch. To each their own I guess..

    Not crying. Just stating it. I'm out. I might browse here for poops and grins. Whatever. I've watched enough of this sport to know a turd when I see it. If the game was 1:00 on a Sunday I'd probably watch out of habit but this night BS for a crap team against another crap team that will probably beat them? No thanks.

    I expect Buffalo to win.

    I don't. I also dont plan to watch. I get up too early in the morning to trade sleep to watch the BS they've been rolling out. Didn't watch last week and it made my whole week better. If they show me they aren't hot garbage then MAYBE I'll tune back in. Call me whatever you want, this season is over and I'm too old for this crap.

    I know we need to play better and the coaches need to get the best out of the players they have, but this is pretty telling to our struggles.
     

    Look at the difference between us, the Dolphins, the Chiefs and the Bengals.

     

    Hopefully we can stick around and get a couple/few players back and have a good shot come playoff time.

     

    Go Bills!

     

    -Current players on IR- 10

    -Current cap dollars on IR- over $45m

    -Current percentage of cap money on IR- over 20%

    -Current players on IR- 7

    -Current cap dollars on IR- over $8.7m

    Excuses are like buttholes. Everyone has one and they all stink. This team was broken BEFORE the injuries. The injuries just made it worse.

    McKitty was a 3rd Round Pick in 2021. A Florida State recruit from IMG Academy who transferred to Georgia in his final College season. Quite a bit of pedigree for a Practice Squad prospect. He was released on Halloween.

     

    Beane must have liked him in the Pre-Draft process and wants to see if there's anything there.

    Well will his mid-round drafting prowess, I know I'm excited.

    Knox we’re also stuck with. Another killer contract if they can’t get 12 personnel to work.

    Dorsey's contract is much more reasonable to get rid of. 

     

    I'm so glad they drafted a TE. They had no other needs.

    Part ways with Knox, Maybe Miller depending on what happens from now until the offseason, ride it out with Tre and see what happens

    Keep Knox and find an OC that understands how to use TEs.

    One of my regrets about the Bills of that era is that neither Stevie Johnson nor Freddie Jackson got to make the playoffs with them.  They were both good but not really quite good enough to propel them, but still they both played with heart and desire.

    If the Bills need a yard to win a Super Bowl I'd give the ball to Fred. I don't care how old he is, you'd have to kill him to stop him.

    I'm not going to give the Bills hell about the way the season ended last year. Between the absurd string of personal tragedies that started as early as training camp and the spate of devastating injuries they suffered by the end of the year, it's a miracle they made it as far as they did.

    What I will give them hell about is that they were absolutely, positively physically intimidated by that Bengals team. It's undeniable and there is just no place for that on a ballfield for any reason whatsoever.

    So what do they do the week before they play the Bengals again?

     

    Add Linval Joseph, a widely respected leader and genuine badass who has spent his career as one of the biggest, strongest, toughest players in the league.

    Add Rasul Douglas, another respected leader and oversized, physical, aggressive player who has zero fear on a football field.

    Add Leonard Fournette, a brick shlthouse of a running back who would rather run through somebody than around them.

     

    This is absolutely not a co-incidence. 

    McBeane recognized the problem and took proactive steps to address it right before it was time to knock heads with these guys again.

    So they acknowledged what many of us have been saying for awhile? That they are soft?

    Does the lack of moves at those positions mean the Bills feel confident these two could be back this season? 

    Nope. Daquan MAYBE if they made it deep into the playoffs. Milano is done and the lack of additional info about his injury SINCE his injury makes me wonder if it's worse than we've been told.
