Bills aPHILLYate

I assume that this friend has no ties historically to anything that would relate it to being offensive but it would be disingenuous to think that someone who is attached to it wouldn't view it that way. Washington eventually caved in and changed their team name years and years after refuting numerous attempts from the demographic that expressed how it was insulting. Even Cleveland changed to the Guardians... Just because a majority can overlook it and classify it to their liking doesn't mean that it isn't in poor taste.

I mean Brady literally was the epitome of a player to be despised and hated to a much higher degree by Bills fans for almost 2 decades and I don't recall him being depicted that way. Also there was a racially motivated mass shooting in the city not too long ago. Subtlety definitely plays a role in how it is perceived...however, those whom that imagery/optic never had an impact on and can easily place it into a less harmful context will think that it's no big deal.

If we are walking into that game at basically full strength I'm very confident we take the W. This is presuming we have an intact WR stable, Carter and Milano back, and no new significant injuries. We may very well have a more effective defensive unit than we've been able to deploy over the last 2 years at that point and an offense that is humming. 38-24 Bills

I know this isn't a what is the Bills first drive gonna be thread; but I got us first play goin play action with a scramble from Josh for about 12yds That sets the tone for our march down the field ending in a Cook reception td

Definitely difficult to comprehend because the OP seems to be stated in response to a sentiment that someone expressed otherwise. If that were the case you could've directly responded to the post that expressed that. Instead you made an entire thread to express an accusatory thought based off of a fictional sentiment that nobody expressed. What exactly are we to do with this thread?

I agree with quite a few of your points but the question still poses some complexity... For instance, the Browns could be the easier fix in some regards because they're gonna be buried in that division for the foreseeable future which is somewhat of a positive. This affords them more of a chance to blow it up and attempt a rebuild and establish some sort of foundation during the remaining years of Watsons contract. There are no quick fix options available and this is known. This almost assures them 2-3 drafts alone to find a top notch qb prospect which they should be in prime position each year to have the picks of the litter with no true expectations. They need to be sellers in almost every facet to start righting the ship. They could move Garrett for a kings ransom for starters. The Saints have notoriously kicked the can down the road but are mired in purgatory. They never know if they're buyers or sellers. The issue there is they keep thinking they're a piece away from competing in or overtaking a less solid division and keep repeating the cycle. There are way more expectations in NO in my opinion due to their division but they are perpetually torn between taking their medicine or patching things up. They are convinced there is a quick fix... That presents a way longer road to recovery until they make a solid decision on how to approach their future while that same decision is somewhat dictated and attached to the successes (or lack thereof) of their divisional opponents. I quick voted the Browns but I'm not as certain and that's primarily due to the looming expectations associated with each franchise.

I quoted this just to say I think that's one of the best usernames for any platform

45-13 Bills Josh will have a 5td game

I've had less anxiety about Bass lately but another miss could derail him completely and we won't know what the circumstances will be when he misses his next important kick. I personally have been intrigued by the Rodrigo Blankenship campaign that he has put together on social media. I would hope that we bring him in for a tryout if Bass gets the yips again. I'm also not opposed to signing him to the PS now just for a contingency plan.

It's wild because Josh as his comparison point is the exact reason he is having the career he's having so far. Not every qb with comparable measurables is just gonna come into the league and replicate what Allen has done. Fortunately we struck gold because a lot of teams are using our success story as a baseline metric for hope with some of their qb picks

I for one hope we are able to retain him for the foreseeable future. Him and Davis sorta remind me of the Chris Johnson and LenDale White combo. He takes a lot of pressure off of having to rely solely on a passing game and balances the offense.

I've reserved this comparison because I didn't want to do too much but Keon is an Anquan Boldin type receiver to me. He legitimately has a chance to be the best WR selected in his draft

I was honestly shocked when I saw so many folks who opposed the red helmets. I would love to see them again.

Those are the reasons for those specific cases but it isn't for the 2nd trade during his prime (Dal to Cle). Dallas wasn't in the dumps when they traded him away. That was purely a misjudgment of the value of the contract goin forward. That's why I offered the other perspective that provides more of a baseline answer regardless of the variables effecting the teams trading him away.

Why he was traded probably has more variables... But if you frame your question from the perspective of "Why did 2 teams trade for Amari Cooper in his prime?", it probably yields more of a consistent answer. Even if you incorporate the Bills for the 3rd trade; it's because he is a #1WR, has consistently been productive and improves the pass catching stable pretty much everywhere he goes
