BuffaloBill

Thx for posting - I really miss Bruce smith from those days. He was always special to watch as he played at his craft.

Seems like crazy numbers that will likely haunt the team. It’s tough to say as letting talent like that walk is also tough.

You should be banned for making the rest of us want to poke our eyes out…..

Other than his high draft round what makes him trade worthy? It takes two teams to make a trade and i just don’t see a good market for him.

May he R.I.P. awesome memories

I like that he is a bigger back that may get yards after initial contact.

Did you wake up and cry?

To me the real issue is how much can he “hide” until it is playoff time? It seems to me the Bills have had limited success in the playoffs because other teams - mainly the Chiefs, had them figured out. The Bills have hardly been a consistent juggernaut in the post season in any phase of the game. Both last season’s and the 13 seconds losses show the Bills need to be just a little better and a lot less predictable to get over the hump.

Thank you.

How can you just not love this?

I know this will generate hate around here but I do not find the “top” Buffalo Pizza places to be that good. Too much cheese and soggy crust in my opinion. It may simply be the case of resting on laurels. Wings, fish fry and beef on weck in the homeland are awesome, some of the big named pizza not so much.

If….if….If… this guy plays to his potential think what the Bills WR corps will look like. A big If……

It is unreal how history has a way of repeating itself. AB is a unique character but the age old story of quick big money paid to an athlete or celebrity going down the toilet is old and tired. Hope the guy can find his way through the demons of his life.

Yep, and I would add my mother (now passed) to the list of those who insisted on this. He meant 1.3.

I am 1/4 German and it was not uncommon to see as a kid the “little” kids getting a wee taste of beer. I am not a proponent of the practice but I also recognize that probably nobody was really harmed.

I grew up more rural than you did. We had a party line into the early 70’s. It’s wild to think how the technology has changed. You can pretty much direct dial anyone on the planet 24 hours per day from nearly anywhere. It’s such a simple concept and so easily thought of as nothing to think about.

You negotiate all of the above with SDS - he’s notoriously tight.

It is not a different type of thread. The subject depends on the person who is initiating the thread. There is no value in duplicating what is already out on the board. Therefore, by definition it needs to be something new. No intent to stop, slow down or otherwise impede any other normal board activity. This idea will only ensure there is at least one new thread per day. Just creates a new thread daily, that allows for normal board exchange within it. This is the only benefit.

To the TBD community - For periods of the offseason new threads can be limited in number. To supplement new threads, I want to propose an idea if seven+ of you are interested. The idea is simple: Early AM of your assigned day you will create a thread - the question or topic of the day Identify the thread by staring it with “QOD -“ (for Question of the Day) You may volunteer to take one weekday. You become responsible for that weekday. So, if you are unavailable (vacation or whatnot) an alternate for the day will be identified. The two of you will need to coordinate to make sure your topic is ready If you want out, period, after being assigned a day, PM me and a replacement will be identified A mod will pin the thread People will respond in the thread as normal the next day the pin will be unpinned (replaced) - posters may continue to respond as normal here. To make the selection process as fair as possible, the most senior board participants will be given first dibs. Additionally, it will be my discretion to eliminate you from selection if your warning history is indicative of potential problems. We will try this until the start of camp to see how it works If popular enough maybe we continue it beyond then If this process becomes in any way problematic for the community, the mods, or SDS it will be eliminated as a board practice If there is not enough interest to get seven days of coverage the idea will die a natural death PM me if you are interested. If you have preference for a particular day (i.e. you want Tuesday only) please note this in the message. Also, if you have an alternate that you prefer to work with please let me know. Thanks.

As the mayor….

The Bills are really picking through the NFL thrift shop cupboards to fill out the roster.

Claypool clocked in with a 4.42 40-yard dash time after measuring in at 6-foot-4 and 238 pounds the day before. According to the NFL, only two players at the combine have ever eclipsed a 4.45 40-yard dash time while measuring in at least 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds. Claypool is one. Calvin Johnson is the other. Care about what? He’s big too.

I wanted so badly not to laugh but that is sneaky funny!

I like the idea that the Bills are getting “heavier.” The trend is for defenses to get lighter so There is a zig and zag league aspect to this. Josh can throw the ball all day long but the Bills will be much better with a dependable run game. I do not see the Bills going heavy run, maybe its 60 / 40 pass. The issue is whether that 40 consistently gets meaningful yards.

What you say here is why I go Meh over the chiefs taking Worthy at 28. He’s fast but will he be durable over an 17 game season? I think the Bills have done a sneaky good job of building a WR room with multiple styles, sizes and talents. Everybody here wants the splash name. However, the splash for the Bills this year is likely to be Kincaid.
