This all began from TwoBillsDrive member ChevyVanMiller reading this article by the Buffalo News and started a Go Fund me Campaign.

In a little more than two days, the Buffalo Bills' faithful raised more than $100,000 for former linebacker Darryl Talley.

The money was raised by more that 2,200 donors in a crowd funding campaign posted by a Bills fan named Frank Croisdale.

    did you even read the story?

I don't care if it is the Dolphins that do this, this is a good story. The guy has huge medical debts and what's wrong with charity? Jeesh.

 

Save up money, buy health insurance, etc.

 

 

Talley gets $39,000 annually from the NFL's total permanent disability policy,

 

That's more than many here earn a year.

 

If there were any real journalists in this country someone would dig up his career salaries and calculate how much money this guy blew.

 

Americans love a sob story though. Americans hate personal responsibility. Next they'll be donating to fat Olineman while they take interviews sipping a Mickey d's sweet tea.

I don't disagree with your point, which is why I did not contribute.

 

However, it's still a feel good story and the story I appreciate of it is that people are willing to donate to this cause.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
