No. The majority of the fanbase is weak-kneed, knee jerk, NPC who bought this hook like and sinker.

 

They drank the WGR Kool aid and everyone else's fantasies of this.

 

It just proves people are stupid af.

People are indeed "stupid af".

 

Araiza seems like a really high-character individual, and he clearly has an NFL leg.  Why hasn't any other team signed him to their PS or active roster?

The civil trial.

But I've read in this thread that he didn't do anything wrong.

the nfl is full of scumbags and most of the stories never make it beyond the local precinct where it's essentially swept under the rug.

 

in this case he cannot outrun the story.

 

he won't get signed because he's still too close and the bull#### of "believe all women [but not that woman]" is too damn strong.

It’s still a distraction for him.

I still think he’ll get signed. Maybe not this season though.

I don't.  It's terrible what happened to him and I hope he gets another chance but not at the expense of the Bills.  I think that seeing him succeed will be bad enough for those fans.

Those fans will never admit they are wrong, it's not their fault. It's how they've been programmed, their strength is always finding themselves as the victim and some sort of moral high ground

Either that or they were sold a story and first impressions are hard to shake.  Like in this case, all some seem to care about it "she was 17!  She was an innocent child!  String him up."

the incels that are screaming about that will never listen and likely spend their days writing letters to companies, calling into radio stations, and mouth breathing.

Regardless, unless the Bills field a ST unit of eleven 17-year old girls, Araiza isn't scoring.

 

Might be an improvement over the ST units we've seen of late, considering the debacle on Monday night, and the long return allowed in the Miami WC game.

You do realize that 16 is legal in many states?

I was thinking of this a few weeks ago.

 

Martin is hot and cold like a motel shower. 

 

[GunnerBill]

Martin was good for ua last yeae but when a punter's leg dies it dies... and his looks dead.

[Dr.Sack]

Only bad teams punt. 

[BillsFanForever19]

Here we go again with this. There was a MASSIVE thread about it when this news dropped months ago.

About the same net yard average of his career and I doubt he loses much power at 33 (usually after age 35).  He did have a long of 70 this year.  Maybe just a bad week after a really impressive week against the Bucs.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Bring back zero punts.

[davefan66]

Ok, dude would kill the ball from the 10 yard line and net over 50.  Fine.

 

Just wait until he is asked for a shorter coffin corner punt and he fails.  Will there be “bring back Martin threads”?

The kid was screwed by this organization.  They should have put him on non injury leave and paid him until this played out.
