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.

I've been getting a kick out of these. If anyone's got other ones, post them here 😄

I think it will be. When Kincaid and Coleman return, he may not be called on as much as he was yesterday. But I think it was mainly an injury hampering him that seems to be doing much better as he's been showing quickness he wasn't before. I also think Josh (like most QB's) needs to develop trust and chemistry with a WR. And I think he hadn't developed that yet with Samuel. Again, that might have just had to do with the injury. But it seems in the past couple weeks, Josh has developed some of that trust and chemistry with Samuel.

How do you know that? It doesn't say everyone who looked into it. Just that he signed with the Chiefs. Thornton has free will and can sign to whichever Practice Squad he wants. Just him making the call doesn't guarantee we get him. And I can EASILY see a WR preferring to go to the 2 Time Super Bowl Defending Kansas City Chiefs, who have a pretty underwhelming WR core and as such has more of a chance to get playing time than he would than with our core.

Definitely want to extend both of them. But Cooper's a Free Agent after this season ends. We still have another year under contract with Shakir.

If Curtis was dealing with Turf Toe and/or hadn't gotten the trust or chemistry of Josh yet and both of those are settled - with Coleman coming on before the injury and the addition of Amari Cooper, to go along with Khalil Shakir continuing his success from the end of last year.... don't look now but this WR core can be DANGEROUS!

Maybe not the first person you'd think of - but Amari Cooper should get more love on here. He had two really important incredible grabs. The first one handed and the second an incredible tracking ball that I don't know if any other WR on this team would have made. All the while playing hurt and in a cast (or at least it was for the last couple weeks).

I'll hold the anger and tears to a one possession loss to the Chiefs (if it were to happen) for when it matters.

I'm happy with the outcome so long as we don't get blown out the rest of the way. Down Brown, Kincaid, and Coleman - it's still a dogfight against the undefeated 2 time defending Champs. That's a win in my book.

Curtis Samuel looks GOOD today. Maybe his foot is starting to feel better.

Cook consistently stopping forward motion on screens after the catch drives me nuts. It never works. Just push forward.

It's pretty clear the game plan is to shove Worthy down our throats

I hope I'm wrong - but I think that gets overturned. The ball didn't come and get secured until after the first plant came off the ground.

Love how the Practice Squad Kicker can hit his XP but our multi million dollar Kicker can't.

I'd doubt it. Thornton was someone who was considered an EXTREME reach when he was taken in Round 2 by New England. Even with his speed, he was considered someone who probably improved his stock at the Combine from a Late Rounder or UDFA to a possible 4th Round Pick.

Just like Yannick Ngakoue and Tyrel Dodson before him - we can't just bring him in. He's on Waivers. We'd have to claim him and hope no one else above us claimed him and we're pretty much at the bottom of the list. Both scenarios are unlikely as I don't see us sticking him on the 53 and on a Rookie contract, I imagine someone above us will take a flyer on him. If he were to clear waivers, I'd take a look for the Practice Squad. But I'd be surprised if we get that opportunity.

As I've been saying all week, a win would be nice this weekend. But not pushing guys before they're ready and not risking their health down the stretch when it matters is more important.
