The most insane case of cope I've ever seen

I mean, that would be a controversial one to talk about. Especially the video 😆

Like as in songs that would fit over the "Play of the Year"?

Fellow music nerd myself. I was actually working in a Record Store when the song came out. Funny thing is much like Warren Beatty to Carly Simon's "You're so Vain" and Dave Coulier to Alanis Morissette's "You Oughtta Know" - there is a very strong urban legend that Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds' Dr. Spencer Reid) is the guy that was hooking up with Brandon Flowers' girl lol It's probably that music "nerd" in me that won't let someone say "you're wrong, the song isn't about that and is actually about this". Got me all...

Yes - that's where the disconnect and argument is. I loved the Killers when I was younger. I own most of their albums. Again, I don't have a problem with the team and fans enjoying the song - singing and dancing to it. It doesn't have to make sense. It's catchy and pumps people up. But to say steadfast that the song *isn't* about "someone banging your chick" as OP put it and is only about "reaching your ultimate destiny" is just factually incorrect. Is there other messages in the song - such as getting past it? Yes. But the lyrical content of 75% of the song is about that and Brandon Flowers himself has said that's what it's about and getting cheated on was the sole reason he wrote the song. Even if you argue it's about "looking at the brightside" and overcoming someone "banging your chick" - it's still about someone "banging your chick". Again, go nuts. If fans and the team like it as an anthem, cool. But it is funny when you consider the lyrical content, inspiration for the song, and general interpretation of the meaning. Which is all OP and I were saying.

I'm sure if we don't make it to the Super Bowl - the board will be saying Sean McDermott should be fired. And just like every year, it's extremely unlikely Pegula would pull the trigger.

It's an awesome song. I like it and clearly the Bills and the fanbase too. But the message of the song is clearly about infidelity and paranoia. To argue that it has nothing to do with that is just factually wrong.

My dude - google the song meaning. Or look at the Wikipedia for the song itself: "Lyrically, "Mr. Brightside" depicts a true story of Flowers' jealousy and paranoia when he walked into a bar in Las Vegas and found his girlfriend cheating on him. "I was asleep and I knew something was wrong," he said. "I have these instincts. I went to the Crown and Anchor, a bar in Vegas, and my girlfriend was there with another guy."

.... what? I guess if you take one line and ignore literally everything else: "Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick And it's all in my head, but she's touching his Chest now, he takes off her Dress now, let me go And I just can't look, it's killing me They're taking control Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside I'm coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick And it's all in my head, but she's touching his Chest now, he takes off her Dress now, let me go 'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me They're taking control Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside I never... I never... I never... I never..." Look, it's a good song. It's a fun song. Sing it, have a good time. But to say it's about "destiny" would be to ignore 85% of the song.

Needs aren't just what we need to improve on what we have this year. It's also who we retain and who we don't. And who we cut for cap space. Free Agents include: CB Rasul Douglas WR Amari Cooper WR Mack Hollins S Damar Hamlin DT Austin Johnson DE Dawuane Smoot DE Casey Toohill RB Ty Johnson FB Reggie Gilliam So we're either going to need to bring back Douglas or find another Starting Caliber Outside CB. Same with Cooper. We'd need another stud to go along with Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and Curtis Samuel or we're going to be back where we were before we traded for him. I'd imagine this will be Von Miller's last year. In conjunction with Dawuane Smoot and Casey Toohill being Free Agents - we'll need to get at least a couple DE's in here to go along with Greg Rousseau, AJ Epenesa, and Javon Solomon. With Austin Johnson being a Free Agent and Daquan Jones underperforming, 1-Tech DT is also going to be a need.

It's that or it's just him talking about his dreams of it happening out of paranoia and jealousy. Either way, it's a bit of an odd song to be an anthem. But hey, if everyone's enjoying - awesome.

Yeah, they're really pumped and belting out the lyrics to a song about being a cu-k 😆

I'd set it to this:

The funniest thing to me about the "Mr. Brightside" thing is i'd bet a lot of the team, being so young, thinks of that song like an 'Oldie'.

They're all good. I'm partial to the Celine Dion one myself. Something about the Drum beat hitting just as he starts to take off and the crescendo of the song with the announcers just hits right.
