cba fan

he was hurt dim witt.

WTF is this. We all know it was AFL fault for putting wrong teams in the conferences when they did the merger.

In some peoples make believe fairytale world it is never anyone's fault. All the things I have ever done that I am not proud of are not my fault either. It was caused by aging and anxiety of being a Bills fan. Yes my post mortem will show I had BBFS. (Battered Bills Fan Syndrome)

PS: that was a 3 line stanza

Actually the experts claim any jarring hit in any way transfers g forces to brain causing it to rattle inside skull. Yes not to the degree a direct hit to helmet/skull creates but a constant effect nonetheless.(this repetitiveness exposure is the catalyst for developing CTE) The Hans device in NASCAR prevents internal decapitation and death when head whips during hard contact with wall and other cars etc etc with head at strange angles. Added benefit is it reduces but does not eliminate concussions during these violent crashes. NASCR drivers do not get CTE as they do not have constant head trauma hits like contact sports. This idea the OP proposes seems to have merit and should be studied. It sounds somewhat like the Zero1 new helmet technology without the connection to shoulder pads that NFL players are using this past year. Alex Smith wears one. I would caution though if every hit to shoulder pads results in g forces more directly going to helmet it may make things worse. The tech would need to address that but the idea sounds interesting.

"Billy Billy!" or alternately when things go bad; "Billsy Billsy!"

Aaron Rogers and Danica are made for each other. Their public persona's are very strange/weird.

and certainly not on a slow plodder. We have already seen slow possession guys like Matthews and Jones and even R Woods can/could not produce for Bills. Bills need a Sammy Watkins type.

Bills against Vegas.........how could they lose??

Late first or even early 2nd.

This looks like high school players. Poor example.

How about just putting clear shield around the outside of the face mask and attach it to helmet without a ridge. No way to grab it then unless you put hand over top of helmet and down to the bottom of shield and grab the bottom. Pretty rare angle for defender. While you are at it stiff arms to facemask and/or neck area and the new way the RB basically punches with an open palm at helmet and side of helmet like a punch should not be allowed either.

We are on to Bortles.

No one knows but to be successful do the mallet treatment I described. Oh and by the way stop eating carrots. It is proven that 33% of people who die in traffic accidents eat carrots before driving that day. And start smoking because 30% of people who smoke do not get cancer. Protect yourself. lol...thanks for the laughs. I see your tag line is "never take me seriously" you got me.....all in good fun.

Take a rubber mallet and medium forcefully hit your head repeatedly for 2 hrs a day for 20 years and you will get CTE. No one says other things don't cause CTE. Anyone with a working brain knows other sports also cause CTE.

lets brain storm. CTE is caused be repetitive and repeated hits to the head and or jarring hits to body which all cause the brain to rattle inside the skull since it floats in a sea of fluid like an unborn child. Unlike the unborn child hitting soft tissue and skin bulging out the football player or other sports players brains rattles off the hard as rock boney structure called the skull. This causes damage to the brain and is highly suspected and many experts agree causes CTE. Concussions are sudden impacts that cause the brain to rattle inside the skull hitting the inside of the skull like a super ball thrown down and under a chair rattling up and down many times in short period causing trauma to brain, black outs, loss of function, and coma like states, for varying time frames. Sometimes immediate death although rare. So yeah I am sure CTE is not at all related to concussions. Are you crazy? Have you been subject to forces that cause CTE?

The new guy has played a lot of games and gives experience from a tough tough D in Seattle. Seahawk brass thought enough of him to bring him back in a trade for a 5th round draft choice to play when Chancellor was hurt. Colt Anderson can not stay on the field with Bills so is of little use and based on McDerma philosophy that best player trait is "availability". Anderson will not be long on this Bills roster.

OK then: What about the Achilles problem most of the year?

I read the whole thing. You did not. Tomlin called him out and Villenueva then mysteriously tried to apologize for making what he said was a mistake and accidently was too far out in the tunnel after asking captain Ben if he could go out there thinking his teammates were behind him standing closer than they were. You have to ask yourself if he is telling the truth or changed his story to fit good coach/teammate relations when this blew up big time with media drooling over this. http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2017/09/26/tomlin-addressed-steelers-national-anthem-controversy/ You left that out too as maybe it does not fit your narrative. Tomlin called him out as he wanted 100% player participation in whatever they agreed on. To avoid exactly what happened. Villanueva made it look like he was only one of Steelers players respecting the flag. Which was not the case and the exact scenario Tomlin wanted to avoid by requesting 100% participation of whatever the players choose. Even though Tomlin and some coaches were on the field during the anthem and I presume stood for it as no one said anything about them. So much for 100% participation. PS: Tomlin repeated more than a few times he did not want football players playing a political game like this protest. This completely flies in the face of letting the players decide because if they all come out and take a knee it would clearly be political. You have to ask yourself if he ordered them to stay in tunnel or other. This story has way too many holes in it.

dare accepted. http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/24/steelers-coach-didnt-want-army-vet-to-stand-for-anthem-video/

I don't agree on the talent. Ben is top 5. Bell is top 2. Brown is top 1. Shazier was top 5. The rest are serviceable. Tomlin parlayed 4 studs at the most important positions, into a very avg roster and made them a very competitive team. And does it year in and year out. I would not be surprised if they make a change though. Teams that win all the time and then don't go as far as fans and part owners expect in playoffs----pull the trigger sometimes trying to prevent that boulder from falling over the edge. It usually falls anyway. Ravens and Bengals are good examples of boulder going over edge. Coaches and/or QB's should have been changed a couple years ago.

Hey you might be on to something here. We could use Bills bad luck to our advantage. Trade for him for nothing but 15 conditional first round draft picks if Alex Smith starts at least 14 regular season games and plays at least 50% of ea playoff game and 75% of Super Bowl game and leads Bills to Super Bowl win next year. With that kind of franchise killing deal. Bills would surely win it all. On the flip side we would never be subject tosome of the following almost ever again, and some for at least 15 years: hey what does Bills spell. Buffalo is for losers. wide right. Aaron Maybin Donte Whitner Leodis McKelvin Shaq Lawson Mike Willliams Perry Tuttle James Williams Erik Flowers JP Losman John McCargo EJ Manual

invulnerable maybe. impenetrable? Not likely.

Well it is obvious, since he is not talking, he has a tongue strain. He will be OK for games, he can use his hands.

I vote: Discuss.
