If you combine Buffalo and Rochester it's actually a really really really good football area Like 15 division 1 recruits a year and some high-end ones Georgia bulldogs took a kid from Buffalo area last year, and Oregon actually has a presence in Rochester lol the number one football player in Rochester this year is going to Oregon

Fans make it sound so simple and easy. I’ve never played Madden or anything, maybe that’s where that comes from. It takes two to Tango.

Thats really cool. Thanks for the actual info. I had no idea. I've never flown a plane, but I am an academic librarian so I tend to look up anything I encounter. I usually learn enough about everything to get myself in trouble. It's an occupational hazard. I have learned since I posted this that Buffalo has waypoints named WNNGS, EFFCT (I assume for lake effect) and FOTBL. LAX has one named KOBEE, and CVG (Cincinnati) has ones named NXHAL (for Joe Nuxhall) and CRSLY (for Crosley Field). I'll look up Washington later. There is a whole clever world hidden there that most of us have no idea exists but it's all on the public Internet for those curious enough to seek it out.

Do you have it in you to admit wrong when the time comes? That is an exceptionally hard thing to do for your fellow lefties here.

The Bills fans’ penchant for lamenting players we never had well after the fact will never cease to amaze me.

He caught 8 of 10 passes for for 94 yards and 2 TDs on a cold and rainy day in New England last year.

I'm just glad the drama is over. He comes across very coachable so it wouldn't surprise me to see him continuing to improve this year.

Sure, that's the classic line. But in one of those situations we traded up to get Kincaid, and in 2024 there were a ton of trades in the back half of the draft. The Jags picked BTJ at 23 after trading back with the Vikes who wanted to trade up. There were plenty of deals made. We just went the wrong way.

Words never to be spoken by Bills fans until some kind of buzzer has gone off and the clock reads 0:00. I remember warning my kids it wasn’t over in a certain Music City Fiasco, and that was a lesson learned the hard way for them. But yeah, I expected a deal after the Chargers helped clarify the market for Mr Cook and his agent…… maybe even his brother.

It’s pretty clearly the guys who are 0-3 in postseason games against Mahomes the last 2 seasons? Yeah, and Karl Malone was clearly the best basketball player in 1996-97.

No the response nor the reactions were in jest... Some here are just overtly sensitive... but nice try... 🤷‍♂️

Lol now do Napoleon’s tweet about how all is going well on the Russian front.

Someone has to want to trade you their first to make a deal. Just saying it doesn't make it happen. 31 other teams aren't doing you any favors.

In his first seven years (college and pro), Dalvin Cook had 1,693 touches. In his first seven years (college and pro), James Cook has 927 touches. [At Jimbo's rate over his first 7 seasons (927 touches divided by 7), he averaged 132 touches per year. With Dalvin's 1,693 touches at Jimbo's 132 touches per year, that would equal 5.8 more seasons of touches for Dalvin, at Cook's rate...or almost 13 years worth of touches (rather than 7) at James' touch count.] In year two and three in the pros, James Cook averaged 260 touches/season. In years three to six in the pros, Dalvin Cook was averaging 314 touches/season (Didn't include rookie years because they both started off a bit slow/not representative of the rest of their careers) Plus, with Davis and Johnson sharing the backfield, the Bills never have to overwork Jimbo. Whereas Dalvin was always the main workhorse in his backfield. And the Bills are pretty smart about taking care of their players (not overworking, especially the vets or players coming back from injuries), so there is a good chance that James won't fall off a cliff at 27 like his brother did. Very happy for this signing. Yes, his blitz pickup isn't the best/he doesn't play every down (because we have guys with better skillsets for that), but I don't think you can underestimate a guy who can hit home runs. Sure his batting average might be lower than your lead off hitter, but when he crushes that 3-run homer in the 8th inning of a playoff game, you know why you have him and why the team is paying him what they are. Go Bills!

Not sure how reliable Stat Muse is, but here are career Pass Catch %’s: Saquan Barkley 73% James Cook: 78% Christian McCafferey: 80%

Very optimistic Keon will be more valuable to US We have Shakir already, an elite slot, even if Keon doesn't become elite but at least very good, it'll mean more to this roster We have someone that can do what Ladd does, we don't have a Keon

😆😂 I love Paul Maguire! He is hysterical. I loved when he used to call the games- pure comedy!

Buffalo area. Rochester. Sorry

I've called it out elsewhere, but McConkey's hand size is an issue in buffalo. It might not be an issue in a dome, but 8 1/2 inch hands in buffalo where its wet and snowy - is a concern.

Time will tell....

I'm totally with you on points 4 and 5. It isnt for lack of trying to get Josh weapons. We just cant seem to get the right ones. My abstract point was, using hindsight, packaging our 2 1sts to trade UP for a WR would have been better than what we got. And also keeping in mind we traded UP for Kincaid. Even though it's hindsight, it still supports a lot of posters who were banging the table for a LEGIT WR like BTJ. Not a TE turned WR, and not a basketball player turned WR. No, but we cant bash Cook anymore since he re-signed, so we've moved on to the next whipping boy.

Well, I'll take the bait and explain. I was based there for years and flew widebodies from O'hare to Europe and back. O'hare arrrival corridors are corridors are set up like a lot of other large intl airports in the US. There are four "cornerposts" where the arrival approaches are funnelled. Your post is mostly correct, but the cornerposts are northeast, and the arrival over the lake, Southeast, with the arrival starting in Indiana, Southwest, a bit north of St. Louis, and west/northwest. Arrivals are sequenced over those cornerposts and the time splits coordinated so when you get turned over from the high altitude sector to O'hare approach, the sequencing is set up to make approach control's job easier. From each setup, airplanes are directed to one of two active runways. Easr arrivals use one runway and west another. Works pretty well. Actually, O'hare is the best controlled airport on earth, in my view. Did my retirement trip from there to Beijing and back, and got the water cannon salute from the O'hare fire dept at gate arrival. Regarding your comment on the waypoint names, the standard is that they are five letters, so they play with consonants to make that work. In your post, the FNT WYNDE3, would be pronounced the "Flint Windey three, addressing the windy city moniker. When updated, it would be "flint windey four", and so on. They almost always are created with a local "flavor," thus the Bears stuff. Washington has some interesting ones as well, as do most airports.

I thought Coleman was having a great camp? Has something changed?
