The internet is quite different since 1998 with digital publications in tons of cities popping up. Buffalo is not one of them. Trying hard to make that happen for people, no bad faith here by joining this. Just trying to give folks a different look at coverage in comparison to other outlets which are often complained about. This isn't said with any snark. Would love to hear back if we can make something work! Had no bad faith, didn't hide who I was at all. Trying to be honest and bring the best news possible to fans.

Fadingpain Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Wow, what a poorly written piece. Let's hope the Bengals are fired up to win one for the Gipper on Sunday. Baltimore looked lousy last week; no sure why many think a loss at home to the Bengals is impossible....Ravens are a very average team and Flacco is playing very poorly right now. 1

You see, when I said you didn't join in good faith - you just confirmed you didn't. You aren't at all interested in our long-standing rules or what the guidelines are to be a contributing member here. You have ZERO interest in us, except for producing clicks for your website. You are offended by our rules because you don't financially benefit from them... which... wait for it... Is exactly why we have them in the first place.

hemma Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 They knocked the Lions out, so let's hope they bring some intensity to Baltimore and give Marvin a proper send-off.

On the other hand, is there any process for these guys to get on the main "news" page. The Buffalo News has basically paywall blocked everyone. There is a dearth of Bills news out there now.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 The ravens are not even good. I can’t stand that team. They are the luckiest team thatas not NE in the league. Somehow the ravens will scum their way to a win despite doing nothing well as always.

Mr. WEO Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) On 12/29/2017 at 4:07 PM, BuffaloFootballBeat said: The lone Bengal: Ex-Cincy WR Brandon Tate says his former team is prepped to help Bills on Sunday The #Bills are rooting for the #Bengals harder than ever before. They need a Cincy W over the #Ravens to make the postseason. No one in BUF knows Cincy more than Brandon Tate. Tate's talked to former teammates this week and adds there's some extra reasoning for them to pull off a win because of it. Expand You really don't bring that out in the story. You quote Tate, who says he has talked to his old mates and "they're up for this game" and "any given sunday" and "we'll see what happens". He doesn't quote any Bengal as saying they are, specifically trying to get the Bills into the playoffs. Also, Tate can help the Bills by kneeling on every touchback. He's averaging only 19 yards a return--and almost all come out of the EZ. Edited December 29, 2017 by Mr. WEO
