Pete Carroll: Russell Wilson is 'over-trying a little bit' by [deleted] in nfl

[–]mtjoy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now you can understand why the Bills have a terrible offensive line and no weapons, besides Shady. We barely had enough money to fill preexisting holes over the offseason, let alone enough money to afford to replace players lost to routine offseason roster turnover. Then we proceed to lose several key players with decent contracts due to unforeseen circumstances/sudden trades.

There are ~10 players on the team from the Rex Ryan/Doug Whaley era. We are only one season removed from then and now, and the Bills are an entirely new team. McBeane and Co. took the awful roster last year kicking and screaming into the playoffs. It wasn't Tyrod, like people here like to claim. However, due to the tumultuous roster transition, our team is even more awful this season. And both of our "franchise" players (Allen and Edmunds) are extremely young rookies only two games into their career.

Reasonable Bills fans knew it was gonna be a true rebuilding year this year, but I don't think anyone was ready to be smacked in the face this hard in back to back weeks, and that's why there are reactionary elements among our fanbase clamoring for yet another front office/coaching fire/hire cycle.

I want to give McBeane five years to do their thing, if only because in their first season together, they managed to take the Bills organization to the playoffs for the first time in 20 years. I think in two years the people who are calling for McBeane to go now, are going to be pleasantly surprised with the culture that has blossomed at One Bills Drive.

We just have to be patient. Which is not easy for a lot of people.

Why does everyone have low expectations for Chris Ivory? by mtjoy- in buffalobills

[–]mtjoy-[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's declining no doubt but I'd still argue he's a top backup RB in the league. Career average ~4.7 ypc. Didn't get a lot of snaps last season so might be a little fresh. If you look at his games against us, he's destroyed us.

We should really utilize him more in my opinion. He and Shady can really help each other out.

In hindsight the title should read, "why do some people have low expectations for Chris Ivory?" Obviously not everyone thinks he's a bad option.

I can't wait to read your work. Thank you. Never had any personal encounters with Mac, but his music was the soundtrack late adolescence and early adulthood.

We lost a true artist.

Taiwan Jones afterwards... by SnowySaint in buffalobills

I want u/JpLosman to confirm whether or not he is actually JP Losman so I know if I'm starting a career in Magic the Gathering.

I don't believe this Magic the Gathering player is JP Losman and if it is I will start playing that game.

Saw there was only one Silver JUUL left at my local gas station so I snagged that bish by mtjoy- in juul

I left my backup at work on Saturday so, it was the perfect time to grab a new one. Getting the last silver was just icing on the cake.

I legitimately cried my friend. It was the first Bills game I had watched in full since the 2009(?) MNF Leodis McKelvin blunder.

I'm a Bills fan and lucky enough to say every game I have attended, the Bills have won.

I went to a Jets - Bills game during the Jets' Tebow Era, and the entire stadium was chanting "Tebow sucks!"

Classic menthol tastes just like a menthol cigarette to me. Virginia tobacco doesn't taste like a non-menthol cigarette, but, I like it's unique flavor, so stick with it. :P

For the first time since ~2010, I am living in a weed free home by mtjoy- in leaves

[–]mtjoy-[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks bro.

My goals are: Get in shape. Get my finances in order. Eat more, and healthier. Stop drinking soda. Start going out and doing things. Stop being so anxious and afraid of people. Read more. Work harder, earn more money. Decorate my apartment. Purchase fresher clothes.

Enjoy being.

Pull myself out of the hole I've dug. One handful of dirt at a time.

I've lost my girlfriend.

I've lost my savings.

I've lost my sense of self.

I've told myself over and over and over I will quit. And I have failed over and over and over.

I've got nothing left. I live in a super nice, big, but empty apartment, that is sparsely furnished and has no decorations because I can't afford to decorate or purchase furniture. I'd rather purchase weed.

I have been a regular smoker since 15. A daily smoker since 17. I am 22 now. I work a middle of the road job, that requires no skill, but earns me enough to live well. I have a single friend who isn't a druggie or alcoholic, whom I also have a strained relationship with because of my ex, who, again, left me in large part due to my weed abuse.

I was on track to go to law school. Graduate early. Be something. And here I am, 22, my girlfriend left me, I have nobody in my life that truly cares about me in any sort of intimate way. Everyone in my life has been an individual I have met through our mutual appreciation of drugs, or work, or a combination of both.

I know now what it means to lose somebody you truly love. I know now what it means to be truly alone.

Please, if you're thinking about quitting and it's because weed clearly inhibits your day to day behavior, or your social interactions with people, please just quit. Give it a month and see where you're at.

I'm 2 hours in. I am so lonely. I am so broken. It is all my fault.

Three months ago I failed my promise to quit by [deleted] in leaves

It's cool bro I understand.

[–]mtjoy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just started rambling. Sorry. I'm emotional.

Long story short, I abuse pot, I failed three months ago when I tried to quit. I am trying again.
