“But he's running too much. It can't be stated more simply than that. The Bills can have a long run with JA at QB, but only if he's on the field. He's such a good passer - I was really hoping the new OC would change our usage of Allen somewhat, and cut down on designed runs and putting him in the thick of things up the middle.” THIS…^^^^ Surely, we all do! Those of us who’ve been around can remember that First Round Draft Pick Qb clown cutdown on the sideline- instead of stepping out. He was never again better, although some would say, he was never any good- anyway. Allen is not him! He is one of the few faces of the NFL! He has creepy weird ALL TIME STATS for both Passing & Running in the Regular Season AND Playoffs. After this great year, he will be close to the Top 100 All Time in Passing Yards & TDs! When the Bills win the SB, he should be in the Top 25 ALL TIME TD Passes & Yards! Rushing? NO QB will be higher. But, these multiple designed Runs will not allow it- notwithstanding that he believes he’s a LB! He’s going to get knee tagged by multiple players. To get max use out of that generation alarm, 5 runs max per game. And NEVER, EVER in 31-10 lockdown, clock run out time. That was foolish, beyond belief.

This will be the most wild, raucous game EVER @ O.P.! And I’ve been to many 30 years ago! We want to make that place soooo difficult for a visiting team to play in, that it’s 8-0 there this year! And the first 4 Home Games are when it is absolutely required!

In the bar, with my buddies, when the Int happened at 24-10, I yelled out: ”This one is OVER!” (All the nervous nellies, reflecting on all the disasters of this millennium said- “don’t say that!” As Josh hit Diggs to make it 31-10! 😂👍 (Btw, one of my buddies cashed a 3 way Parlay with that Catch- Bills Win, Miller Sack, Diggs TD Catch! ✔️

“We’re on to Buffalo”

Let’s face it. It was an ass kicking of the defending SB Champion! And # 13 ranked player for # 17? 🤪😂🙄

Like to see that pic of Josh holding it over the line!

Is anyone covering Kupp? Anyone? Bueller?

IDIOT Kicker!

ALL on the idiot kicker!

As several have stated, the differences between the 2 Niagara Falls are simply staggering. The American one has a good downtown hunk that resembles Kiyv today, while the Ontario side is quite pretty and quirky. One wonders when you cross into N.Y.- where are all the people? It’s deserted, unlike N.F. Ontario, which is booming. Better hotels, finer and more restaurants and tourist attractions, plus the road Winston Churchill called one of “the most beautiful drives in the world”- the Niagara Falls Parkway… from Niagara on the Lake to Buffalo. Speaking of NOTL, it is simply beautiful (think Williamsburg, VA or Saratoga, N.Y.) and you can pull into numerous vineyards to sample and buy. But, bring $… lots! 😂 Beauty doesn’t come cheap.

That house would fetch $5M where I live.

I think the Bills did OK with this situation. But even Beane said yesterday they could have done better. Thorough implies a rigorous examination and it seems they fell a little short. The above take is very close to my own. NO- the Buffalo Bills are not, absolutely not- the Cleveland Clowns! But, they could have done better. An NFL sports franchise is not the Mom n Pop variety down the street, nor your local watering hole. The Dallas Cowboys made $1B in Revenue in 2021! ONE BILLION! That’s NOT what the franchise is worth-that would be $8B. And EVERY franchise is surely by now worth in the Billion$. We are waaaay down the road therefore, of every one of these franchises having in depth analysis and prevention and corrective systems regarding their assets. What does this mean in practice? Specifically? Highly trained specialists in personal crisis management of players, coaches and their families need to be part of every management team. These people would tackle incidents where the employees are going off the rails and/or threatening personal harm or death. Some franchises already do. PRE selection of employees, you can’t have old Goober there, who selects Coaches or GMs based on decades old relationships- as the Bills did in the dark years. Rather, in depth interviews of a potential player/ coaches NON athletic life needs to take place. Going forward, for Draft Day selections, if there is not a series of questions about hidden life pitfalls, then the franchise is a loser. i.e. Based on Araiza, is there anything in your past, that would cause you and this franchise problems in the future, should you be selected? Specifically, anything of a potential serious and/or criminal nature, we should know about? Because, we will be looking for it and if you don’t advise us here, your future contract might be rendered void.

Uhhhh… no… not disappointed in the questioning at all! The real answer is found in the Athletic this morning: “On Friday, coach Sean McDermott said the Bills had learned new information about the case with the filing of the lawsuit. They did know about the allegations, at least, before cutting incumbent punter Matt Haack on Monday. “That’s a tough one. You can second-guess whether that was the right move,” Beane said about the decision to hold onto Araiza.”

That is a BIG question! But, to be fair, double digit teams have said that they knew nothing!

Only a complete fool, disconnected with reality, couldn’t see this coming- TODAY! This is a SB bound franchise! They are not gonna be distracted, let alone field enquires, about the idiot, gang rape punter! NEVER! On to LA!

Was I off by 10 HOURS? 🙄 Only a buffoon couldn’t see that happening today!

🙄Of course it is- today! IT’S DE FACTO STATUTORY RAPE! Would you say the same if it were your Sister?

Hmmm. Mostly agree with your take. However, I think it is incumbent upon a significant mgt. rep of the Bills to sketch out the pre Draft knowledge with now- especially as Araiza was a very known commodity and a very hot topic of Draft conversation on this very board! That would be Beane Boy! And like TODAY… before sunset!

Araiza… by 9:00a.m.

There is one more terrible scenario out there. The Bills knew and still drafted him! THAT would be horrible and disgusting and defeat EVERY word out of McD’s mouth about character and culture. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED! But, I certainly want McD and the GM to say that they were misled and the info never, ever came up! And pronto!

Yep. A SB favourite’s HC is not going to go through the entire Season dodging shaded questions and takes about the “idiot punter’s” involvement in a gang rape! He 100% finds it a useless and unnecessary distraction for the weekly prep time and it’s highly negative effect on the team. Araiza is GONZO!

Uhhhh… clearly this was a completely HIDDEN omission pre Draft! That’s the difference. Araiza would never have been selected by ANY team, let alone the Bills if this disgusting incident was known!

Pretty sure the Bills feel they were lied to- either directly or through omission. VERY certain Araiza’s career with the Bills is FINITO! He’ll be canned by Monday.

When you move to a major News story, from a backgrounder Sports story, you are COOKED! And of course, if this story was known PRE DRAFT, Araiza would NEVER have been drafted by the Bills! Or any other NFL team, not named the Cleveland Clowns!
