I think you seriously misunderstand what Diggs cares about

This was fun!

Well you’re right… this is a very unpopular thread, at least as far as I’m concerned… more like Debbie Downer . I think I’ll go somewhere else that’s more encouraging.

Calm down Francis

Thank you for that. I understand where you're coming from better now. I too am self employed and I think you'd agree that to be successful in whatever you or I do doesn't mean you must be THE best at what you do? Often times if you GIVE your best, are honest and treat people as you'd want to be treated, you'll be successful and you can sleep at night. But that's not so in Pro Sports, is it? The patience wears thin pretty fast. Should Philly have kept Reid? Would they now be basking in 2 more Trophies if they did? Did they succeed by cutting their losses when they did? Or was it a failure because they let him go? Was Reid a failure all the years he ran Philadelphia's operation? Beane's done an exceptional job, he's made football fun again in Buffalo, the Bills are relevant, but he's not perfect, and yet, perfection is expected.

I appreciate that Eastport. You got me on the sarcasm, and I apologize, that’s not very kind. But you ask for credible support of Beane’s performance? 🤔, well, I guess I would say, let’s start by examining what you do for a living, or what I do. If we were under the microscope evaluating our performances, like we do in professional sports how well would we do? Would we have a job next year? Or would we be on the hot seat? Would that be fair? I’m not sure how long you’ve been a Bills fan, but there were 17 years of a quagmire. What Mr Beane has done in the few years here’s been here is build this team into a perennial Super Bowl contender while he fights a tight salary cap, injuries, weather, owner and player health catastrophes etc, etc.. you know all the stuff you and I deal with with our jobs. I don’t know, do I wish they won the Super Bowl? Of course! Am I frustrated they haven’t, absolutely. Has Beane “been bad”? He has a fine line of filling spots while staying fiscally responsible. If you’ve ever been to an estate sale, the savvy buyers know to wait it out to get the bargains. The sale ain’t over yet and you have June 1st. cuts., the draft (with no idea who will fall to them). It’s just getting good. 7 Mary 3!

So you go in and fire him for us … thank you

You’re on a roll Crispy 😂

Dig if you will a picture … of expensive football stars and unicorns all in Bills uniforms …. Can you my darling, can you picture this?

What does that have to do with the DC? Are you suggesting McD becomes the DC and one of these guys takes over as HC?

This was the first game my dad took me to. I was 11 and we sat behind the end zone that saw the winning field goal, by Nick Mike-Mayer in Oooooooverrrrrtiiiiime! (Ooops Wrong sport) Up to that point, I was watching Roger Staubach and Danny White lead the Cowboys on CBS in our basement every Sunday … I got rid of my Cowboys helmet after that. Ever since, I couldn’t help but love the Bills even through those 2-14 seasons. Bills Shade Rams, 10-7, In Overtime - The Washington Post.pdf

Well obviously … The patriots, silly

But is it truly the NFL’s call? … All teams have the option to forfeit. It would show enormous solidarity around the League and make everyone look like their priorities were in the proper order. The NFL would come out shining like a rose, and all revenue lost from this would quickly be recouped. it would also allow the Bills and Bengals the time to heal and regroup while they await Hamlin’s health status. It would be a humane thing to do.

What would be amazing to see… the Bengals forfeit this game to the Bills … in turn, the Chiefs forfeit their game to the Raiders, the Ravens forfeit their game to the Bengals and the Bills, in turn, forfeit their game to the Patriots this Sunday, all at great expense to some teams, but an unbelievable act of sportsmanship and human decency, all to help level the playing field and get the NFL out of a serious bind. It basically locks in the teams that were in the playoffs before the injury occurred and in the seeding that they were in. …. At least I think I did it right 🤔

Are talking about your English or the Italian 😂?

You are so ignorant

Little premature aren’t we?

I actually played “touch” football recently, and the FIRST play, I caught (yay me!) like a 3 yd pass and proceeded to feel my calf go ‘pop’… I was one and done. My new post pandemic body.. big hot mess.

After you just caught a 44 yd pass, I think you’d be a bit winded too

Clip Smith and Wegmans … can’t connect that… I feel Wegmans wasn’t in Buffalo yet while Clippy was around … I must be wrong on that

You choose wisely! “Clipley’s Believe it or not!” … only a face a mother could love… Irv is the man!

You now not only know it… you’ve lived it!

this reminds me of this picture from "The Match".... Notice how Josh has both his arms around Rodgers and Mahomes. He seems genuinely happy and comfortable to be there with these guys, like ... 'I like you guys, this is a lot of fun'. He's the youngest and least accomplished of the whole group. He could be intimidated, but instead he takes the lead in drawing these guys together as friends. Mahomes and Rodgers seem happy as well but not as comfortable, and then there's Mr Brady...cool and stoic. Allen is not afraid to care. I truly love that about him as Motor does. That's one really big reason why this is.... the best Bills team I have witnessed since I started caring in 1980.

the year was 1980 ... I was 11 had my aviators and riding the wild streets of Orchard Park on my Huffy Thunder Road with my pard'ner Jon, protecting our neighbors ("you're welcome Mrs. Weidemer!" 😉) from hooligans, exploding cars, and the occasional overturned tanker truck that would spill enormous amounts of liquid glue that could cause all kinds of mayhem throughout the community. Go Bills!

Were you born on a Monday?
