This needs to be turned into a “caption this” thread

It was never my intention to compare the lifetimes of the franchises—I was merely pointing out that in the moment of the draft 3 years ago wherein you painted the Bills as singularly awful in passing the pick to the Chiefs, the Bears under your logic committed an even more grievous offense, in that they had an uncontested shot at grabbing Mahomes and instead flopped with Trubisky (even trading up to get him!), together with the next group of teams leading to #10 pick. To imply the Bills were on some kind of island in terms of their ‘mistake,’ is again, unfair. In any other year, the Bills arguably won that year’s draft with the sheer number of quality starters gained from same.

The Chicago Bears just chimed in, they would like to make clear that they call dibs on the gold medal in this category. Totally unfair to paint the Bills with this brush when they didn’t even have the first, or 9th, crack at this nut that year, imho.

Opposing QB’s in 2020 should be seriously concerned about that possibility. He was lights out enough even before this perceived slight!

Rivers always seemed like a good dude on and off the field, it would be nice for him to have one last hurrah somewhere (but not at the expense of the Bills) on his own terms. Carolina would be intriguing fit short term.

No worries, totally got where you were coming from. And couldn’t agree more. Sounds like a horrible situation for all involved if true, and I feel for the family especially her kids.

The topic is being discussed on OBL today by the B-team fill-ins, and I couldn’t agree more that it’s been played out since at least this time last year. Trying to make a quantifiable argument that the Bills fumbled the draft 3 yrs ago when you are dealing with an inexact science to begin with, is Exhibit A for pointless exercise. Your data variables will never be the same draft over draft, as the players always turnover at a 100% clip, so what lessons could we possibly draw from one to the next? And the players They did take largely have hit. What I will say is that from a mindset standpoint, the Bills as an organization so rarely have drafted QB’s in the 1st round, and that I think has been an error during all the years we’ve tried to fix the position since Kelly retired.

Bump. I miss snow.

A lot of years during the drought I never seemed to have much trouble switching from Bills to following/rooting for another team in the playoffs, mainly because the Bills rightfully would never be even in the football conversation during those times...but times, they are a-changin’, and frankly, this year more so than in forever, I just can’t muster up the mental gymnastics to start rooting for any other team, since I can’t get past the nagging thought that it should be us playing today!! Imho.

So happy I was not running the draft board for the Bills , I would have passed on quite a talent there. GO BILLS!!!!!!!

Check out the comments for a detailed write-up of what "PC Load Letter" really means, lol

James Brolin?

Humbleness = Refreshing.

You are correct sir!

No, more on the entertainment side—mostly big screen

Maybe, maybe not. But sure wasn’t the missing piece on O for the Brown this year either?

Addition by subtraction for the Bills as far as not landing either AB or OBJ this past offseason.

The ignominy of having the only QB to lose an NFL game in 3 different countries/continents?

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a clinic on how to right properly one-up a fellow poster!

How about the reg season records without cheating since 1988 through 1994, and the chicken becomes a turkey leg? 1988: 12-4 1989: 9-7 1990: 13-3 1991: 13-3 1992: 11-5 1993: 12-4 1994: 7-9 bonus round: 1995: were we 11-5?? 1996: 10-6??

With all due respect, this is something much different. When I pledged my frat in the mid to late 90’s, we were sleep deprived and had to do calisthenics at odd hours, recite chapter history and eat crappy food. I promise you anything close to what is alleged here would still have been criminal back then. Knowing my pledge brothers at the time, we would have gone to war to blow up the place figuratively speaking had something like that happened to any of us. My point is, no matter the generation, there are certain lines that have never been considered cool/harmless to cross.

Just flat out sick if true, and shows that more rot needs to be excised from that program—this is the exact opposite of ‘team building’ or high character development to point out the obvious. Responsibility for program oversight all flows from the top, imho, and that’s where ultimately this should end, with the HC being shown the door and whatever admin hack(s) enabled turning a blind eye to red flags along the way.

Heartbreaking. RIP little buddy!

Can I just briefly go off topic here and say that our boards here are a whole lot easier on the eyes and contain a whole lot less annoying ad pop ups along the way! It’s like every post there is followed by another ad and really messes with the readability, overall flow. But hey, that’s a Pats board, so to the admins over there, forget I said anything!
