Close coworker is a 49ers fan and always follows/supports the Bills, so I guess they're my NFC team. No rivalry of any kind there, and we barely ever play them, so it all works out.

It's really ***** that after years of great info and insight from an AP reporter, some newbs/BBMBers have to come in and proactively attack John until he leaves. Congrats newbs, you have achieved your goal of being another ####### on the internet. Just a heads up, to us observers it just looks like you have such little respect in your own life you need to attack others who might actually know more. It's a shame, because unlike most of the internet, TBD isnt an anonymous hiding spot. So many posters know each other IRL and hang out for Bills games and even other personal events. Really killing the vibe that has been established over the past 20 years.

Official Apology Form. Relevant to a lot of posters in the first 30 pages or so.

Augie mentioned Whitehall so theyre already coming to our turf. We'll save you guys a spot at the front table!

Haha, man how are you for real? This has to be a schtick, right? No one is really this insecure.

"You really got up and clapped right in his face? Bruh..."

I will say this Regardless of the ridiculousness in this thread from all of us who participated in the spirited discussion, this type of offseason deliberating and squabbling is wayyyyyyyy better than the offseason bickering of the COVID years. Good to have this back! Thanks for helping kill 2 days of work, fellas!

If we had 53 players with Diggs' attitude, we'd have 2 Lombardis by now.

I hope so because that would be the least personal, and therefore easiest, to solve

All love for you, my man. IIRC, coaches/teams arent allowed to contact players through most of the offseason. So there may not have been many/any opportunities to resolve it before now.

He was asked a direct question "How concerned are you?". It's not like he chose the words, he simply responded within the context of the question. Maybe if the question was "Can you provide details on Diggs' absence?" it would have gone differently. Who knows? I do believe McD was upset yesterday and let that spill into his answer, and it wasnt a general "concern for all players". But the wording does matter. And speaking of working... using "cucked" unironically 🤮 You becoming a PPP poster? 🤣

Two self-owns in a row! You're on a roll!

If you cant take the heat... There is no point to this thread anymore anyways. Mods could and should lock it. In the meantime tho...

Yet, you took the time out of your busy President day to make this meme, and then repost it while attacking multiple posters. You're worse at this spinning and backpedaling than McD.

One poster tried making this thread all about themselves. So now that the Diggs stuff is blowing over, like most of us knew it would, it's all about them. They got what they wanted. They should enjoy the attention.

You hedged your bet after being overdramatic for most of yesterday. Congrats. A modicum of self awareness. (look it up, "einstein")

The first line of the top post on page 16 says it all. He doesnt get the joke.

Because I'm bored and this is entertaining watching you twist and spin. Doesnt change anything in the least.

Bro, check out pages 16-18.

It's a copypasta

Honestly, who cares? So what? It doesnt change my day or my life AT ALL. Nothing that happened yesterday matters to me directly. Nothing they say today affects any one of us personally. I didnt care that much yesterday through all your hysterics. I dont care today. Get on the field and play. Those of us who were Bills fans through the 80s know that all that matters is what happens on the field and this team has the talent to win.

He was totally right for being "concerned" with the absence. Plenty of us read it that way yesterday, that he would be concerned about any player missing a practice. But his failure to elaborate or clarify was a botch job. That said, the only true fallout from the "botch" was chicken little fan panic, so really no harm. And if it was enough to get Stef back in and working, good on McD. I'm just not convinced he was playing that 4D chess.

So you'd rather believe Beane, Pegula, and now McD are all liars as opposed to McD simply mishandling his answer yesterday.

McD's EQ (tested) is one of his best qualities as a coach, but sometimes I think he is too sensitive for the NFL. I think he was still a little raw from the morning discussions with Stef and let himself get a little snippy by providing a short answer instead of taking the Belichick path and simply saying "no" and shutting it down, or explaining himself better like he did today "It's a concern when any player misses practice".
