Bobby Hooks

it actually will. but that's fine, you can have your opinion. for the record, i have zero issues with him. i think the moment he took a stance he became a political figure and in many ways (commercials, etc), has become bigger than football. so i don't see how he goes back to being a regular sunday joe. once you reach a certain level of celebrity you can't go back. if the talk isn't about him kneeling, it'll be about why is isn't starting, is the team handling him correctly, etc. you disagree but it's exactly what will happen, he'll be the story every week, even when he's not. with people looking to fill 24 hours on espn nfl network, and in articles etc. it's just the way things are now. and for the record x2, it's kind of odd to see a dude living in Orlando "the city beautiful" sniping the city of good neighbors.

i don't have to tell you one broadcast. Kaep wasn't playing in those games. we're not discussing if it's fair or how it relates to other situations. we're discussing this one situation that quite frankly has no peers. again, fair or not. to ignore that this wouldn't be the biggest media circus is just being dishonest to the discussion at hand. it will simply overpower everything the team that signs him does on and off the field. it's too much for a guy who most likely wont touch a football in any meaningful snaps for a long time if ever again.

so again, someone refuses to answer the question. because they know the answer. the only question of that week, wont be will the (insert team name here) beat the (insert team name here), it will be, did Kaep kneel?! regardless of what side you're on, it has nothing to do with the game, and is 100% a distraction. fair or not, it's the way of things. because the media WILL find a way to get us this completely important (sarcasm) information. who would willingly put their team through that? "listen guys, from this moment no one will care what you do, even if you win the super bowl. the only question s or comments week in or week out will surround our backup qb whom may or may not be able to even play anymore. cool?"

that's not a Buffalo problem that's a humanity problem. if you really want to debate the topic at hand please answer my one question. the only question that matters. if a team takes a chance on Kaep can you guarantee that the national anthem isn't appointed 'must see tv'? I guarantee it will be the biggest NFL moment all month. that's not good for anyone. it's a reality tv circus, and no team needs that. least of all the Bills.

that's completely silly. becoming the national spotlight for all the wrong reasons is the exact opposite thing the Bills would do. Pats on the other hand. they should be gifted the statue of liberty. ""Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore."

well, if you're looking for a dance partner... i have only one question and it's the only one that matters. if a team takes a chance on Kaep can you guarantee that the national anthem isn't appointed 'must see tv'? I guarantee it will be the biggest NFL moment all month. that's not good for anyone. it's a reality tv circus, and we don't need it.

It's comments like these that keep the ridiculous debate raging. It's not what he did and it's the only thing that will be taken from your post making it impossible to have a decent discussion. Thanks for all you do! case in point... and the dance continues. silly. gobbled up the bait like a good little bunny.

Did you even read the post? He said the media shoved it down our throats, which is 100% true. The opening of the game became bigger than the games he was in. Is it fair, not really, but it's an unfortunate side effect of having Kaep anywhere near your team. To ignore the circus is not being honest in the argument.

Kelly, my darlin', you are my sunshine. When we're together, I feel fine. Your smile is so lovely, your hair is so clean. You make me feel the whole world is mine. Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, K-E-L-L-Y. Why? Because you're Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly of mine. Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine.

So... you got the joke? Or...erm... thank you? Do i get a plaque or badge or anything? You may be completely shocked to hear that people that opened this thread had no idea you posted in it before entering. It's probably fair to say your list didn't draw anyone seeing as how you would have already clicked and started reading to know you posted. I'm just saying i've noticed a trend in your posting and there are a lot of "my", "I", etc... Not too big a deal, just saying you might want to keep an eye out for it in the future. Human growth, etc, etc... Conversations can sometimes just happen organically and not center around one person.

it's noting if it isn't completely accurate. i feel equal parts delighted and curmugeoned right now.

Better question is who are you. District of Columbia Tom, Data Courier Tom, Detective comics Tom?

Yes, but that was his attempt at getting some face time years after it was already established. Kind of like how JK Rowling instantly decides something new and fun about her Harry Potter characters to feel relevant again. No amount of a creators friday funzies whims will ever make me call it jif.

I like how after Gore failed to make 1 yard on those three plays he rewarded him with two 4th and goals he then failed on as well. Daboll's ahead of his time alright. No, Daboll's holding this team back. He's no good. In games he keeps doing what doesn't work and refuses to continue doing what does. He just moves on to something else and does his best to avoid hot players. I've never seen anything like it.

I might be in the minority but i don't see this game being on Allen at all. The only time we did anything on offense is when he ran out of his head trying not to be killed. I'll be the first to blame the QB when he is at fault but this one was on the o-line, and the run D. I honestly believe Allen's struggle are stemming from misuse. I think we need to accept who he is and let him play. He's at his best when the offense is moving fast, he's in the zone (out of his head), and he can be creative. Daboll's overthinking it. Dial up some pass plays and if it's not open let Allen do Allen things. He's 10x better when he's running off his competitiveness and fire. Will it come with some hiccups? Of course. Will he turn the ball over, of course. But i think it'll come with loads of fun and td's too. You picked him, now let him do his thing.

We can't have both? I'd like a new monster in the middle of the line that will make those 5-10 tackles. What we have right now wont cut it.

I think people get too hung up on this stat for DTs. He has a ton of pressures which in many ways is just as good as a sack. Especially if you get a trigger happy qb. I’d rather have a pressure forced int than a sack for two yards. Sacks are nice and look good on a stat sheet. But keeping a qb uncomfortable for an entire game is much more valuable than two flashy highlight plays a game. The problem is is we don’t have a truly elite DE to capitalize. Hughes is good but we need a true sack artist. Probably going to be our biggest concern in the offseason if we don’t pull off a trade by deadline. I’d be a big fan of trying to pull this off, no matter the cost (draft pick wise) we have a team and schedule poised to make big noise in the AFC this year.

Incontrovertibly, unequivocally, not-not this. Am i playing right?

How fun would it be if everyone all made a short non-frills professional response to everything? No personality allowed? I think you read my words in an unintended tone. If you were next to me and I said it there’s no way you’d take it as personally as you seem to be. Is the comment about his avatar okay? Just making sure, don’t want to cross the line. He didn’t specifically ask about the avatar so o may have been out of bounds.

He asked for fans opinions. Oh, i get it, you want to make this another PB related post about you. Weird. Not "this", he asked for fans opinions.

What's next a reality show? Just not into this superfan celebrity movement. Your avatar on the other hand...

What about consistency? Who else would you bring in (right now) that could step in right away in an emergency situation that already knows the playbook? Can we upgrade next year? Of course, but until then, why not? The questions shouldn't be "can we do better?" the question should be "can we do better right now?" The realistic answer outside of some crazy trade scenario is no. So, again, why is this even a thing? Cheap. Knows the playbook. No brainer. EDIT: (after reading your edit) oops. sorry, misread your post. point still works, just not for you. i agree with your post.

Meh, he knows the offense and is a cheap emergency option. Don't really get the problem. Not sure why it's even a thing.

tl;dr

Will people stop quoting that line from Stripes, please?! I know it's easier than thinking up thinks on your own, but that movie is not that good and needs to stop. Also, wow, you went on a bit of a name-calling tirade there, huh? I can also call names but being that i'm an adult with reasonable intelligence i'll refrain. I may not have made the thread and predicted this Browns self destruction as you seem to think, but i did predict you would find any and all ways to save yourself the mature response of taking accountability. But really it doesn't matter, you're just doing what most humans would do, read, take words personally, and attack. Personally, i don't like being put into boxes and being so predictable but you seem to thrive there. Congrats?
