Canisius HS has the best player in New York state
machine gun kelly replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall
716, even though i grew up in Hamburg, mydad used to be as a side job the House Manager of the K of C, mygrandma lived in the front of my Uncle Opthamology office, my mom worked for my uncle, my brother lived in Lack, so i basically grew up around Lackawanna. Whenever I drove past that stadium i always thought whatan ungrateful SOB Jaworsky was for not taking the time to come back for Homecoming. I couldnt stand listening to him on ESPN before he was canned. Be proud of where you came from. Living in Philly is fine, but don’t forget you're roots. -
Does the dems “ask” still include COVID-era subsidies for families making up to 600k/yr? If so, the dems “ask” amounts to one of those handouts to the rich you normally whine about. Now, because of party politics only, that’s totally reasonable from your point of view. Nice work. V/R, AM

Guys like this set a horrible example for the kids.

Bills could easily finish 2nd is sacks despite Ed
gobills404 replied to Billsfed1's topic in The Stadium Wall
The Bills are “only” t-5th in sacks because they’ve faced the 3rd fewest pass attempts. They are 2nd in sack percentage, which is a much better indicator. Also 3rd best pressure rate despite blitzing at the 10th lowest rate. The pass rush has been elite this year. -
Huh. And here I thought Schumer was a senile old coot who thought The West Wing was a documentary.

It has nothing to do with 2 WRs. You’re still not seeing the point. Forget about strengths and weaknesses. The salary cap is a pie chart that equates to $279.2M. Every “cap hit” takes a slice of that pie. You need to fill out ALL position rooms and depth within that pie. The Bills obviously have a big slice for QB as they should. They have a big slice for DL as the should. They have a big slice for OL as they should. If they were to pay Torrence the deal that Robert Hunt got (I think he gets more) that slice will be too large. It throws the roster out of whack. The OL slice should remain one of the largest but it will because of Dawkins, Brown and likely McGovern and/or Edwards. It will already be, arguably the biggest OL slice of the cap of any team in the league BEFORE making Torrence one of the game’s highest paid OGs. The Bills should allocate more to the OL than most teams. They shouldn’t go so far as to cripple the rest of the roster. He can’t be back unless you want to part with Dawkins or Brown. You're looking at it as a wr conversation. It isn’t that. Clearly WR1 is their biggest need but that wasn’t the point. It was an example. WR1’s don’t hit FA anymore (pretty much ever) so you have to draft one or trade for 1). I gave a realistic trade using an elite trade chip from the Bills that they probably have to replace anyways. They don’t have to replace him because he’s not good. They have to replace him because he’s about to throw the salary cap pie chart out of whack. If you’d prefer to insert a defensive lineman in there or a safety or a LB or whatever, go ahead. It has ZERO to do with the players coming back and everything to do with keeping the cap balanced. The last point is Aaron Kromer has been a master at developing IOL. You have guys on your bench that would start in many places. You’re replacing a really good player that got to expensive with a good player that is inexpensive. That allows flexibility elsewhere. The drop off from Torrence to Anderson is much smaller than the drop off from Higgins (AS AN EXAMPLE) to Keon. You are just rebalancing the cap. You aren’t restructuring how you’re built. You’ll still have one of the NFL’s best and most expensive OLs. Here is an analysis of it that I don’t have the energy to read at 6 AM 🤣🤣: https://www.gaics.org/userdata/upload/file/JBSM_Volume6No1_2025Article1.pdf. I’m fairly certain it addresses this conversation and others. It’s a good way to look at how the Bills are built.

Interesting timing on the retirement announcement Stretch...

We should have sold out to get one of the big 3 (or even Thomas) because we needed a number 1. With all due respect, counting gross stats doesn’t tell me much of a story because there are so many variables that determine success. Who is your QB? What is your scheme? Who is the play caller? How many different ways can you help a team? What is asked of you? Where are you on the depth chart? Etc, etc, etc.. There is way too much information out there in 2025 to count yards/receptions/tds. That doesn’t tell you the story. That tells you how about their opportunity. We need to dig a little deeper and compare success within that opportunity. We didn’t have the luxury of taking an extremely flawed prospect and HOPING that he would defy his metrics. That was a bad plan. You needed more of a sure thing because that guy had to contribute. You couldn’t take on so much downside. Worthy would have 100% been a better pick. He wouldn’t be perfect but is a better player than Keon. I liked AD Mitchell, Legette and others above him too. He was WR 15 for me I think. I certainly liked McConkey above him because he was extremely safe. He was a guy that was going to eat targets because of his ability to get open and produce in the SEC. They vacated a zillion targets with Gabe and Diggs leaving. They didn’t replace that in FA so they didn’t have the luxury of drafting a long shot prospect with major red flags. Keon “the idea” is as bad as Keon “the player.” This isn’t hindsight. This is well documented on here leading up to the 2024 draft.

Totally fair. i probably should have been clearer and maybe not used Josh. I was trying to say he overcame his collegiate completion percentage issues in a similar manner. He did have elite tools though. Many thought he’d be the 1st overall pick. Harmon looked at the specifics of Keon’s separation metrics. Guys with those metrics succeeded at an incredibly low percentage and almost always in the slot. FWIW, I remember Amon-Ra St. Brown was a success story. Other guys were like Johnny Wilson.

"That's just a coincidence." - Finding The FBI, which failed to solve the case in nearly five years of investigation but indicated that it was closing in after Blaze News brought its investigation to intelligence sources, was feet from the Falls Church address of the pipe bomb suspect days after Jan. 6, according to the Blaze News investigation. Former FBI Special Agent Kyle Seraphin realized Friday that he was doing surveillance next door to the woman now suspected of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber. “The FBI put us one door away from the pipe bomber within days of January 6, and we were deliberately pulled away for no logical or logically investigative reason,” Seraphin told Blaze News Friday. “And everything about that tells me that they were involved in a cover-up and have been since day one. "They were f**king in on it,” Seraphin said.

Week 10, Bills v. Fish, PREDICT THE SCORE!
EssexBill replied to Freddie's Dead's topic in The Stadium Wall
31-10 bills and Josh doesn’t play a snap in the 4th quarter -
Bills could easily finish 2nd is sacks despite Ed
EssexBill replied to Billsfed1's topic in The Stadium Wall
All I care about is if they can get a sniff of Mahomes’ jockstrap come playoff time, because as we all know that’s not happened in the previous 4 games despite us having decent pressure rates in the regular season -
Would you rather playoff seeding scenario?
EssexBill replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall
The two teams that worry me are the ravens and the chiefs so I’d take the 5 seed and then give the pats a beat down in their own house in the AFCCG
