How to make baseball the most relevant sport again? Steroids
May Day 10 replied to Draconator's topic in Off the Wall
I agree. Umpires are very good, and replay is administered in a quick and painless fashion. I actually like the ABS system they have been testing where teams get one or two challenges from the batter and pitcher. It is pretty seamless. -
Those knockoffs use the old Houston Oilers blue. I can spot them a mile away.

In all the many years I spent pushing a lawnmower around my parents WNY lawn never once did I think to myself that it was really hard to grow grass in Buffalo. 😂 -
Who is on the Mt. Rushmore of Bills Special Teams
Big Turk replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
How was it not Tasker, the best special teams player in the history of the NFL? -
Yeah, so I guess that in 2022 when the Bills gave up a 4th round pick to move up two spots for Kaiir Elam, this trade too was orchestrated by Beane. After all, the fact that McDermott was a defensive back in college and a former assistant secondary coach played no part in this glorious trade, or the one which handed the Chiefs Mahomes and numerous Super Bowl wins. He was olly too willing to let Beane, a communications major in college, put his player expertise to work. Gotcha. I will however concede the fact that Beane being a communications major does help him at his job. He is able to clearly ask McDermott, "who should we draft," and clearly respond, "yes sir."

Bucket List Weekend - need NYC Reco's
Orlando Buffalo replied to BuffaloBillies's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bethpage Black is a little ways out on Long Island so if you are not staying in the City itself I definitely recommend staying on Long Island just so you don't have to traverse the city itself to get out there. Part of your consideration should be how to travel from hotel to course. -
Training camp schedule & ticket info released!
Just Jack replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not sure if it is still the rule, but that's what the Redskins did years ago under Snyder. They were charging for camp tickets, and under the rules of the NFL at the time, other teams could send their personnel to record the Redskins camp, since they had to pay to get in. -
If our elected officials really wanted to do their job…they would restructure our entire healthcare system. We pay 18 percent of gdp for hc and it doesn’t cover everybody and sends millions into financial distress. The cost of hc is what cripples our country. Other first rate countries provide hc to all for 9.8 percent gdp. So instead of doing actual work we play games with “work requirements” Our govt blows.

Remains to be seen. I am not sold yet that we are better at receiver. Maybe we are. Maybe we are worse. Maybe we are the same talent wise but different enough in style that we find more explosive pass plays. I hope you are right, because if that is true it might make for an easier Cook decision next summer (on the basis he doesn't sign a deal this summer). We did keep drives going well. But that is a hard play to live drive in and drive out for 17 games plus playoffs. And even in terms of turning what was really 4 or 5 yards into 9 or 10 Cook is among the best in the NFL over the past two years. He was also THE best in the entire league last year at yards lost in tackles for loss - he was tackled for a loss just 21 times (second fewest among qualifying backs behind Jahmyr Gibbs) and those 21 losses cost us just 37 yards - the lowest in the NFL among qualifying backs. It isn't JUST that Cook can break a big one. He is critical part of their everyone eats small ball offense too. As to the contract, I agree the Bills and Cook are obviously apart on the overall value of the package right now. We don't know that is just AAV, it might be, but my strong suspicion is it is as much about length and guarantees. There are $15m per year deals I'd do, given his value currently to this offense. But he'd have to be willing to leave some team flexibility on the table in terms of guarantees and contract length for me to get there. I'm a don't pay running backs guy. But he is clearly the second best offensive weapon on the team behind Josh Allen right now and unless this O can prove to me it is built different in 2025 then my instinct is you have to try and find a way to retain what he brings without tying yourself to an expensive running back contract for the longer term. His 4.7 average is bumped up somewhat by 5.1 ypc as a rookie when he did not, for the most part, start and we have seen sometimes being just a change of pace guy inflates those numbers. He is a plodding backup level talent. Cook is way better at making the first guy miss and way better at getting 5 or 6 yards out of 2 yard holes. Because his vision is on a different planet to Singletary's. Singletary has had three starting jobs in the NFL now. The Bills let him walk after his rookie deal and replaced him with Cook, the Texans and the Giants ended up benching him for rookies. He is who he is. A plodding backup.
