    Outside of Allen this is among the worst rosters in the league.

     

    Disagree with this entirely.

     

    On Paper:

     

    -Top 10 OL

    -Upper 1/3 RB room

    -Top 5 TE room

    -Bottom 1/3 WR room

     

    -Middle of the Pack DL

    -Middle of the Pack LBs

    -Top 10 CB room

    -Bottom 1/3 Safety room

     

    That's not "among the worst rosters in the league"

     

    It is, however, a team lacking star power/game changers outside of Josh Allen.  

     

    It seems to me that a lot of people who are down on this team, simply view the answers to every question we have as "no".  

     

    Will the WR room elevate with JA?  Will Shakir and Kincaid make a jump?   Will Von and/or Rousseau provide DE pass rush?  Will Milano's replacement be ok?  Will our Safeties give us adequate play?

     

    If you think the answer to all those questions is no, well then.. I guess I can see how some come to the conclusions heading into this season that they have.

    That is why 2024 is a reset year.  A playoff appearance would be a huge bonus. Expect a big bounce back in 2025. 

     

    Age 27 of the best QB we've ever had, when we haven't made a Super Bowl..

     

    This part of your post isn't acceptable, and fans shouldn't just be all "well, shucks, guess it was just a reset year".   

     

    They better figure it out and make a run to give JA a shot.  Wasting a prime year of JA would be absolute malpractice from an organization he's tried to drag to the Super Bowl year in/year out without much help when it matters.

    This defense is poo.  Not a single quality edge rusher (unless miller returns to form), LB dept is super suspect and our safeties have to be to worst pairing in the league. I’m not concerned at all about the offense, but this D looks void of talent.  


    Defense is contingent upon Rousseau making the jump and Von being the guy reporters say they saw over the summer. 
     

    “Devoid of Talent”…

     

    Ed Oliver

    Daquan Jones

    Terrel Bernard

    Christian Benford

    Rasul Douglas

    Taron Johnson 

    Greg Rousseau

     

    7/11 starters are very clearly upper level starters. 
     

    Do we have elite talent anywhere on defense?  Remains to be seen.. but this isn’t a tomato can defense.

  4. Was just at Florida/Miami in The Swamp and the crowd stood for the entire game until it became a massacre mid-3rd Q.  Same for other games I've been to there, as well as Clemson and South Carolina.  

     

    On the flip side, went to the Meadowlands for Bills/Jets and everyone sat most of the game.  Same for Bills/Jags in Jax and Bills/Rams in LA. 

     

    Buffalo Bills football is 100% more relatable to Southern college ball than it is the majority of the NFL.  

  5. Some concern. 

     

    I just don't value the position as much as other positions, so I can't be overly freaked out.  Also, I do trust McDermott/Babich to coach & scheme them up properly. 

     

    Our Defense doesn't hinge on Safety play or Matt Milano's replacement..  It hinges on the DL.  Same as always.  If Von is back to being close to pre-injury Von on pass downs and Rousseau makes the jump we've all been hoping for.. this Defense will be a Top 10 unit.

    When I read this line from your post Some women and men are just very picky with the attitude of “I’m not settling for anyone unless they meet all my requirements.” I thought of this joke.

     

     

    image.png.95b362d301736c18515801c1490ee1eb.png


    It’s even sadder when you get to your mid/late 30’s and start meeting women who divorced their husband but readily admit he was a good man and good father… they just wanted “more”.  
     

    Now they’re 35 years old with kids and think all the 35-45 year old men are going to want them…

     

    We do.. as a hook up, while we search for a younger woman who has never been married & still wants kids.  They quickly realize the men they want aren’t trying to commit to them.

     

    So they just become single moms, co-parenting kids, who get into situationships with men who see them as a recreational option until the guy ghosts them or they finally tire of being strung along and go find another guy who is going to do the same thing. 
     

    This is what nobody wants to tell them, because how dare our culture speak realities to women’s empowerment, but it’s very .. very real. 
     

    Men aren’t without fault, we own a lot of societal relationship issues as well… but with the advent and rise of online dating/apps.. the power men have has drastically lowered for 90% of the population.

    Of course, the economic growth in southern states is attracting many non-Conservative voters to those places. Ga, Tx, Nc and even SC will be in play for the Dems going forward


    GA/NC, sure.   SC, no.  South Carolina has been one of the fastest growing states in the country in recent years, with Greenville & Charleston exploding in population.  Both cities now have Republican Mayors, with Charleston ousting their incumbent Democrat Mayor. 
     

    I have a place in Georgia, as well as South Carolina.  Georgia has a heavy influx of Indian population in the suburbs who vote Dem for some reason and a lot of the transplants move for work, so it’s a mixed bag. 
     

    South Carolina is exploding in population with two cities and coastal living, but its a lot more of elective relocation than it is career driven.. as in GA/NC. 
     

    This aligns more with Florida, which has become ruby red under DeSantis, with elective relocations from NY/NJ etc 

     

    The people moving from the north to the south as an elective relocation tend to be super conservative.

  8. For those who don’t exactly love following polling, you can also follow where campaigns are going and where they are spending.  

     

    To be noted, the Trump campaign is even/out-spending in GA/NC.. two places he really shouldn’t have to be doing that - but obviously, as of now, is.

    IF younger women are dating older men, Who are the older women dating?

     

    While older women dating younger men happens, it's still rare enough to be made into a movie.


    They’re not dating.  They’ll entertain situationships with men around their age or younger, but those men are never going to date/marry them. 
     

    It’s dark out there for women as they approach 40. 
     

    Online dating and hookup culture has destroyed millennials & gen z.  
     

    Many men have opted out.  
     

    The same 5-10% of men get swiped on by 80-90% of women. 
     

    The top 10-20% of women look for money/status, because they have an army of simps at their disposal and will look for a unicorn, when they’re ready.. until years pass and now they’re 35. 

     

    Which leaves the next 50-80% of women being in, again, situationships with the top 10% of men who are talking to them, while looking for a unicorn woman 5-10 years younger than them and/or more attractive (the top 10-20% of women). 
     

    And because that 50-80% range of women are sleeping with guys out of their league, who will never date them, those men aren’t settling down bc they keep looking for something better and those women, who should be settling down with men in their league, now have unrealistic expectations. 
     

    I probably sound like a prick saying this.. but it’s 100% what’s happening for the majority of folks in the modern dating world.

     

    This leads to men becoming lazy, unmotivated and resigned to what life has become for them because they don’t have the primal urge of pushing themselves to get a woman, keep that woman, protect & provide for that woman. 
     

    It empowers women, who have taken advantage, but only temporarily.. as they eventually reach an age where their looks fade and they start to realize the men they are attracted to, want women 10 years younger who aren’t career driven & can give them a potential child/children.

    I'd like to hear from some guys here in the prime of their dating years share some of their recent experiences with the ladies, good and bad. 

    I have my theories about things and why young men are down on dating but I suspect young women are just as unhappy.

     

     


    See my post above 

     

    I’ve been in it. Dating someone now .. but spent years of my life doing all of this. 
     

    It’s mainly empty recreational sex for those of us who can get matches .. and it’s mentally exhausting .. and truly warps one’s view of the other gender (I suspect the same occurs for women towards men).

    To add to the above 

     

    schedules are the same except: 

     

    Bills play lions , ravens , chiefs 

     

    Jets play den , Vikings , pit 

     

    mia play raider, packers , browns

     

    I also think we’re gonna be below D of last few seasons . We can be run on. And I just don’t like our pass rush and current safeties - we are going to struggle to get off field on 3rd down.

     

    so. Comes down to offense carrying team and coaches coming up big. Which I have faith in to make playoffs. But not serious contenders 


    I think our Defensive Line might be the biggest variance unit, in terms of potential, on this team. 
     

    If Von is washed and Rousseau gets another random injury that turns him into a glorified edge setter all year, then we’re wildly dependent upon Oliver/Jones to get pressure on the QB. 
     

    If Von is, as reports suggest, “back” and if Rousseau does make the jump everyone’s been waiting for, this DL has upper echelon potential.

    Wow things change. I lived in Charleston a long time ago, pretty sure I was the only Bills fan. The Panthers didn’t exist, it was all about college football.


    The Panthers still don’t exist. 
     

    I spend a good bit of time in Greenville, SC and you can’t go more than a few blocks downtown on Fall/Winter weekend without seeing Bills gear.

  12. The machine selected Kamala Harris is in line with all these people.

     

    ”it could never happen here..” - says people that lived under a form of this happening by this very administration during covid.

  13. Seeing lib propagandists label Trump’s no vote on Amendment 4 as hardcore anti-abortion reminds why I can never, ever support what the Democrat Party has become.

     

    A party rooted in aggressively evil late term abortion advocacy, mixed with censorship & pseudo open-borders.

    They’re appealing to people who think it’s their right to obtain controlled substances just because they want them. Cartoon characters are appropriate and apparently effective. 

    I don’t see any pro choice voters changing their vote to trump because of ivf


    What is a “pro-choice” voter?  You mean single issue voters?  No, they would never. 
     

    He’s not trying to get them.  He’s clearly making a play for suburban women that may like his policies but are turned off by his personality and “reproductive rights”.. he’s attempting to take the latter off the table. 
     

    Dems just put up billboards in PA today saying that Trump will ban IVF and are all over social media today messaging on abortion and IVF.   It’s the only non-character issue they have on him. 

  15. Politically speaking, as I’m pro-life and not in love with Trump’s comments yesterday.. it’s notable that D heavy hitters are out in numbers today pushing back on his newfound IVF policy and abortion comments.

     

    Looking at polling on abortion in AZ, NV, PA and MI, voters almost 3:1 want to protect abortion access, but also view Trump as better on the border & economy. 
     

    If they lose the “reproductive rights” wedge, Trump might take all of those states. 
     

    He does this by risking to alienate more socially conservative voters in NC & GA.
     

    But, while I don’t like it .. I think he’s making a political calculus that seems backed up by notable Dem messaging today.
