Its a weapon. Its help. Im not going to jump out the window with glee, though.

If youre going to call me out, I would appreciate it if you would take the time to read my comments in their entirety and not misconstrue my points. I was EXPLICIT in that I acknowledge and understand that these guys are all friends and professional (i.e. paid athletes). AS STATED: I also understand that this is their job and they’re all friends with all the different players. Of course you walk over to the other team shake hands say good game and maybe talk about the family and what not. Further, I was clear that bad behaviour and poor sportsmanship is not ok. AS STATED: Again, nobody is saying to act like Mahomes did after that loss to the Bills or for him [Dawkins] to throw a table. As far as the baseball thing goes, if you have experience in youth sports like you claim, you know damned well that a player personally blowing the game and then acting like a jackass after a crucial tournament or one with a chronic attitude of being aloof, not paying attention or comporting him or herself in a proper manner before and after games, would not be tolerated for very long. OF COURSE "kids are kids" but I painted a SPECIFIC picture with my example. Ill add one more thing if it makes you feel better. ALL OF THIS is in the context of his actions and demeanor that took place minutes after HE failed the team with that terrible penalty. He had an awful game overall and that play was a killer. Then three minutes later after one of the overall worst performances by this Bills team EVER hes acting like he did...like he couldnt care less? As the kids say...FOH. Love the guy, hes been a great Bill and rep of the city. But lately I think Dion is way too "fat (literally) and happy."

NAILED IT. I’ve said a lot I think the Buffalo media, in terms of analysis is really good. However the one problem is that they are all…from Buffalo. They are all huge fanboys and some are straight up jocksniffers. I’m sorry but if you’re covering the team in a professional fashion you shouldn’t be in the parking lot tailgating before games and sitting in the stands watching like a fan, as many of them do. And because they are all fans first and media members second, NONE of them want to go hard and risk losing the “access” they have been given. As a result, this org is often not held accountable by the media that covers.

A preggo girl at the game about to give birth and then breaks her water and refuses to leave the game. Yeah…They nailed it.

They got a lot right and clearly did their homework. Enjoyed it.

Pancho Billa (book) cameo. Amazing.

This is great and terrible at the same time. If Hammer makes a cameo I’m throwing my shoe at the tv.

WGR as a whole is excellent. All the hosts and content are well thought out and they go in depth. There are no hot take merchants like there are in places like FAN in NYC. it’s not to say they can’t be annoying. That’s not the say that they’re never wrong but overall bills related content they put out is very very good.

Yeah but he sets the edge. Yeah but he blocks well. Yeah but he plays special teams. Its a theme..................

Again, nobody is saying to act like Mahomes did after that loss to the Bills or for him to throw a table. But his act last night, between him bailing on plays and then his demeanor after the game, wouldnt fly in a 13u travel baseball league. If my boy strikes out three times, then cadillacs a throw to the plate to blow the game for good and then twenty seconds after that, hes yucking it up with the opposite team while they celebrate winning the weekend tournament guess what's next? Im getting a email from the coach a week later telling me that his spot on the team next year is gone. Guy's a pro and a team leader. Act like it.

I know you could scoff at this sort of stuff, but seeing Dawkins yuck it up with members of the Houston defense literally two seconds after he gave up a penalty that basically cost any chance of winning the game was just completely galling to me. Then in the post game interview all of a sudden he gets sullen, which you could tell is a complete act, and he’s talking about it’s a “game of inches.“ Other words…completely absolving himself of any responsibility. I understand he’s a team leader and he’s been here for a long time and all that. I also understand that this is their job and they’re all friends with all the different players. Of course you walk over to the other team shake hands say good game and maybe talk about the family and what not. But to see him cracking up and telling jokes and acting the way he did was just completely out of line from somebody in his position as far as I’m concerned. But that was completely unacceptable from a team with Super Bowl aspirations and his attitude is really becoming an issue.

I DO NOT need to see Dawkins hamming it up and laughing with a Houston player 30 seconds after a penalty that blew their chance to win. So much to be angry about but this “yay, we are nice” act ain’t working.

Not to boomer-up this discussion too much, but I detest the International series. This is an American game and belongs in America, IMHO. If you want to expand it overseas, I guess I CAN get on board with that but its WAY overdone now. And I wouldnt put it past Goodell if he eventrually moved playoff games and even a Super Bowl overseas, which IMHO he should be put on trial for sedition if he did. That mofo would put a game in Pyongyang if he felt it would mean even one extra nickel to the NFL.

My son had a baseball tournament during the KC game. I brought two tablets and a portable charger to get me through it. (Un)fortunately, they were eliminated and I got to my friend's house in time for the game. Luckily with modern technology completely missing a game is really hard to do. But remember that one day your kids wont be playing sports or in theater or at recitals. But the Buffalo Bills still will be playing football. Nobody truly and deeply "regrets" missing a regular season meh football game on TV. Its not like you had choice club seats at the stadium for a playoff game youre passing up. Its flippin' Houston....on TV...in November. Meanwhile, literally every parent alive regrets having to miss even the smallest of their kid's events for one reason or another, even to attend an event for another kid of theirs. And kids remember that stuff, too. Prioritize accordingly. [/soapbox]

Beane has his faults but lets pump the brakes here. The Buffalo Bills are widely considered to have one of the best front offices in the game. They are consistently ranked in the top 10 and often top 5 in player and NFL peer rankings. A TON of that is due to Brandon Beane and what he has built.
