I also find it interesting that the Bucks beat the Suns. Both came into the league same year (1967). Bucks won a coin flip and got Lew Alcindor. Suns got Neal Walk (the "Human Sweater"). I think the Suns are the Sabres' doppelganger. Both teams entered their respective leagues around the same time (late '60's early '70's), had some early success (Suns lost in NBA finals to Celtics, Sabres lost NHL finals to Flyers), were generally good but not great teams for decades, had one more run at a championship (Suns with Barkley, Sabres with Hasek), both went into an ugly 10 year funk - and there the stories diverge. Suns look like they will compete for a title for at least a couple more years while the Sabres are an ongoing dumpster fire. Rochester Royals have an interesting history. Moved to Cincinnati and became Cincinnati Royals. Got hometown hero Oscar Robertson but didn't win anything. Became the Kansas City-Omaha Kings, then the Kansas City Kings, then the Sacramento Kings (with fellow California NBA team the Los Angeles Clippers, formerly San Diego Clippers, formerly your Buffalo Braves).

Pease stop with the "it's his choice" BS. We're seeing it now. If enough people don't get vaccinated, it allows the virus to mutate and spread. We live in a society. If you live in that society, you need to obey the rules of that society. I'm all for mandatory vaccination so that everyone in the society can be protected. We did mandatory vaccinations in the past for smallpox. We would have done it for polio in the 50's but I guess people weren't stupid enough back then to fail to protect their children from lifetime paralysis.

This is exactly right. The Bills didn't trade Jefferson for Diggs. Vikings got extremely lucky that Eagles passed on Jefferson. It turns out trade worked out well for both teams. If they had to do it over again, even knowing Jefferson would be there, the Bills would do this trade every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Bryce Brown fumble was the turning point to the whole GD season. Of course, no QB so they weren't going anywhere anyway.

One of my favorite all-time Bills. My brother and I had crappy end zone seats for the next to last game of the 1973 season. High school classmate was on the field clearing snow in between plays. OJ ran for over 200 yards setting up the record breaking 2003 yard season the next week against the Jets. Chandler caught two TDs right in front of us. Great game, great time!

My God, how great is it to watch McKenzie and Joe D. leading those sweeps? Just wonderful.

Bless you. This is beautiful.

"The Autumn wind blows in like a Raider" (paraphrasing maybe).

You know, it's really not that simple. If an insufficient number of individuals fail to get a vaccine, it has the potential to let COVID hang around until it mutates into a strain that is resistant to the vaccine. We're already starting to see something like this with the variants. Bottom-line, if you live in a society you follow the rules laid down by the society for the benefit of everyone in the society. I'd be ok with mandatory vaccinations with medical exceptions.

I prefer a Big Kahuna Burger.

I think we might have a trading partner here for Eichel. Maybe add Star's contract to make the numbers work.

If we're going to play the hindsight game, why not stay at #9 and pick - oh, I don't know - maybe the best defensive player of all time? We didn't of course, because we picked a fat tub of lard the year before. 1996 - amazing year for WR's. We picked what, the fifth WR in the draft and got near HOF quality.

As memorably said by Harry Dean Stanton in "Repo Man", "ordinary ******* people. I hate 'em."

I'm very happy it's the Cowboys and not the Bills. Much rather play a 44 year old QB near the end of the season rather than the beginning. It happened to Peyton Manning. It happened to Drew Brees last year. It's got to happen to Brady eventually, right?

Isn't it Carrion?

Did anyone give us an A++++ grade after the 2018 draft?

Who made this pick - Key or Peele?

My lord, his Midachlorian count is off the charts! Seriously, I like the pick but if he busts, doesn't it show that the combine is absolutely and utterly worthless, or did we already know that?

I'm guessing the original comment was made because it was a stupid pick for the Bills, not necessarily a stupid pick in a vacuum. The Bills had all sorts of needs, didn't really need an RB and made what was in essence a luxury pick that a team coming off a Super Bowl victory might make. For example, Dallas Clark was available when McGahee was picked. Not a great blocker but he would have gone down as best TE in Bills' history.

If one of the "big four" CB's are available at 30, I think that's where they will go. If one of the four is still around at 20ish, we may even move up. (I hate moving up, always in favor of moving down. Of course, if Bills thought that way, no Josh Allen, so in Beane we trust.)

This is about the one thousandth example of why the draft should be held BEFORE free agency. If the draft was held first and Jenkins was available, sure, make the pick. But you've re-signed Williams (which I thought was an absolute great move by the way) and Feliciano. It's possible we go OL in Round One but doubtful. From what we have done in free agency, if one of the "Big Four" cornerbacks are there at #30, that's the pick. I'm not a big fan of CB's in round one but that's what our moves in free agency are pointing to.

I heard that as well and would have put money on that being chosen as new name. It was perfect. Still had "red" in the name for some nostalgia for old name, plus it would honor WWII heroes the Tuskegee Airmen. That would make some amends for their racist past (original owner Preston Marshall was hard core racist and Washington was last NFL team to integrate). Still believe that will ultimately be the new name.

You know, if I'm JAX, I think I'm going to pass on this deal.

Yeah, but Ryan was a horrible hire. Absolutely horrible. If you recall, we had a very good defense at that point run by Jim Schwartz. I would have been pretty happy to see what Schwartz could have done as HC. Ryan destroyed that good defense. He stunk as a HC.

Is this Jeopardy? I’ll play. “Who are two players the Bills have zero chance of landing?”
