Bills vs Jets Postgame Thread
Rubes replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm just worried about the LB injuries. Any update on those? I missed almost all of them. -
Will Epenesa be inactive on Sunday? Interesting scenario
Rubes replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Disappointing, but not totally unexpected. They can bring him along slowly, and we have very good DL depth. Plus, he is not a special teams guy, unlike DJ. That's the key difference here. -
I had no idea he was still so young. HFBD Scott!

I've said it before as well. I don't know if the Fins will be able to put it together this year to win the division, but they do have a lot of new talent and an easy schedule, so anything is possible. But like you, I amd concerned about what they are putting together for next year and beyond. If Tua pans out, they will be a very tough team to deal with.
-
That's what you get when you go from an easy schedule to a playoff team schedule. Lots of tough teams instead of bottom dwellers. Many teams on the rise benefit from easy schedules only to see them get exposed by a rough schedule the following year. I don't think we're that, but there are plenty of people who do.

Thanks for all you do for us.

Jets Falling Apart Health-Wise Prior To Week 1
Rubes replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Most of those folks for the Bills are back today, including Kroft, Spain, Brown, and Jefferson. -
Ngakoue Watch is officially on!
Rubes replied to IgotBILLStopay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Other than that, he makes a good point. ? -
So actually it's a new contract, with a 4-year extension on the 2 years he still had left.
-
That's a hefty extension!

Great news!

Would you prefer to make the playoffs or get the #1 pick?
Rubes replied to JetsFan20's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Playoffs every day and twice on Sunday -
Learn that the hard way, did you?
-
Yeah, didn't work for me.

Wait, what??

Say what you will about Kim and Terry, but I really really appreciate how well run this Bills organization is, from top to bottom. Scouting, strength & conditioning, management, coaching, drafting, free agency, finances, player development, even COVID...really coming across as extremely professional across the board. Knowing where we've come from, it's sooooo nice to see.

Deion Sanders not happy with his HOF bust
Rubes replied to Teddy KGB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Honestly, I've never thought any of the HOF busts have looked much like the inductee... -
Yeah man, there's definitely a lot I can say on this topic, so much of what I read here is just really depressing. I've thought about diving in a few times to straighten out some things but it feels so futile arguing with people on an internet board who mostly don't seem interested in listening or learning. I deal with this all day long and there's so much else going on I feel like it's just not the best way to spend the free time I have. In any case...public health is probably more responsible for advances in human health and civilization than almost anything else, but public health is about the public good, not individual good. As a society we had a strong respect for public health for many years, and that paid off in major ways for everyone. But over the past few decades it's been viewed more and more as a bonus rather than an obligation, and as the direct benefits became less conspicuous over time, the public started taking it for granted. In turn, public funding has been dropping at almost every level for years. State and local health departments are woefully underfunded and unprepared to address public health emergencies such as this. And right now, when we need them the most, the public's understanding and appreciation of what public health is and does and how it can help is at its lowest. We've become an ultimately selfish, self-centered society, a largely every-man-for-himself kind of society. That is, of course, at odds with the idea of sacrificing something for the public good, which is what is needed most at times like these. This is how we—especially the most vulnerable—will pay the price for that. If we as a society could learn something from this, there might be some hope, but what I see more and more is simply a lack of interest.
