It says "updated" on the evening of day 1 of the draft. When did it originally post? what time on draft day? Either way, what's the real issue here? Guy said Allen was a reach, given his college output, yet everyone knew he would go in the 1st. The Bills have indeed outsmarted a lot of people. Looks all good to me.

You want Josh to bounce around the league hunting titles with other teams while he takes 1/4 of the games off and messes with the FO like Rodgers? No thanks. Give me the insanely focused competitor who trash talks all game as he dominates the NFL. You can keep the guy who whines for a call every trip down the floor.

Jordan won 6 rings in 6 consecutive seasons that he played. He played baseball for a year and just came back and tore up the league again. He elevated the teammates he was given (Pippen would be the only "superstar" he played with --and created). Lebron had a decent run in Cleveland 1.0, elevating a mediocre roster to the Finals once. After that he was a mercenary who hijacked front offices and demanded to be surrounded by All Stars brought in to help him win more rings. See Cleveland 2.0, Miami, LA..... Jordan played 80+ games 11 times in his career (8 of them full 82, plus playoffs). Lebron has 3 80+ seasons and 1 82 game...in 22 years. Jordam's prime was played when the game was far more physical than it is now--teams played defense. Playing in conference vs Detroit, Indy, NY and Boston guaranteed you were going to hurting the next day. Now guys take so much time off that the league had to institute rules for sitting stars. So I would rather have the who shoed up every day, played better than everyone else in the league, made everyone around him a champion and won 6 titles for the same team without screwing up the front office. Someone with a killer instinct, not a whiner, who pushes his teammates hard enough to win it all. That was easy.

I don't see how they are vastly different. Most knew he would go in the first round (needed no post draft editing for that) and the crux of the article is that he didn't have a great college career (not really an argument against that)....and therefore, it was widely felt (here as well) that he was very raw and there was not a small risk in taking him high in the first. The original title obviously implies the Bills were taking him in the 1st--or there would be no article to write. No take. "Because his college career wasn't great, so when the Bills take him in the top 10, and he succeeds, they will have outsmarted basically all regular humans and the entirety of math itself" Maybe that would be a better headline? It captures the opinion of the guy well.

I'm really starting to love this WR room. We quietly got better
Mr. WEO replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's not significantly different. -
only if it's hosted by Shaq lol. Why not refer to Josh as the GOAT, like Jordan? I mean....

Bills were 5th in rushing attempts (7th in yards) last season. This year they are 10th in attempt's and 7th in yards. -

Mr. WEO replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Why would that be true? He has 40 catches all year--12 games--481 yards....fewer in Buffalo than when he was Cleveland (where he was in on 89% of the snaps). The Browns passing game took a large bump since he left--an anemic 142 ypg to 273 ypg. It's hyperbole to say his 47% snaps and rare targets transformed the Offense. Also, him being mainly a decoy would not put the Bills in the #1 seed were he here all season. -
Rather he said Jordan....

Near shooting at last Bills-Lions 1972 game at War Memorial Stadium
Mr. WEO replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
maybe it wasn't a gun, he was just happy to be there... -
True. Will wait for @blancolirio or @pilotdebrief for the straight dope on this one
-
Yet the Giants are a much worse team. Mara must be sending Woody a huge Holiday gift basket for absorbing all of the stupid NFL owner heat for him and Tisch.

Is that still a company? Did Josh lift that off some kid in the Sahara?

Von Miller proves the doubters wrong
Mr. WEO replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was referring to that guy in his basement in the OP's link. Highlights Miller getting pancaked by a double team and says "but look at the pressure!" -
replacing vacuum gauges with glass (or at least a few G5's and a nice GPS) is a common upgrade for an older single--increases useful load and the value of the plane. The hardest part is paying for the upgrade and getting it done within 6 months given how busy these shops are. True some will keep a single vacuum gauge like the AI or a separate G5 on a separate battery for backup. I wasn't speculating on the electrical failure--it was mentioned in the first report I looked up immediately after (WIVB). Who knows if it's accurate--if his radios were working, probably not electrical. A cell phone can act as a GPS and can be used to call the tower phone.

sounds like he was close to KBUF so probably in contact with approach or even tower. I don’t know what the ceilings were but sounds like he wax close to the field. Seems like if they cleared his m for KBUF they felt he would see and make the runway with current ceilings. They would have directed him to alternate with higher ceilings. The plane is still flying without electric power. Radios would be out as well as GPS if he had one. Flaps might not work but can land without. Maybe he had glass panels without vacuum backup instructions
-
it was online WIVB.com now saying "mechanical issues" and pilot declared emergency. An electrical failure won't typically bring a plane like that down.

Mr. WEO replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
25 min to show a handful of plays—a few of which actually show him getting swallowed up in a double team or getting on the pile. high impact players don’t require Zapruder film level analysis I doubt they holding him back…. it wasn’t that long ago where many were parsing every play of teen sensation Tremaine Edmunds to convince everyone else how good he is (we just don’t know what we are looking at, etc). -

Mr. WEO replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
when was the last time Miller was seen alive? -
"The same source said that it is possible that an electrical issue caused the crash." strange...

Jeudy wouldn't have changed the outcome (see: Browns). Rodgers was washed 2 years ago. Woody was right.

Where would Jim Kelly in his prime rank amongst todays QBs?
Mr. WEO replied to Victory Formation's topic in The Stadium Wall
No, actually I'm not. Not sure how that is your conclusion of from what I have been posting. But anyway, the topic is whether Kelly is a top 5 if he was playing today. The three other guys I mentioned could be--based on their stats while they were contemporaries with Kelly, who's team did not run as much of the Offense through him. It is yes. And yes the rules favor the passing game more now for sure. But even in his prime, there were much better passers in the league than Kelly> I've mentioned them as the only likely guys from that era that would be top 5 today. What is Kelly better at than Burrow? We hear over and over how much tougher QBs had it back then---yet every season we see starters getting lit up and knocked out of games, missing games, IR, countless backups getting starts. Because of so many more dropbacks they take compared to 30 years ago, QBs today take a lot more hits. I didn't miss those at all--in fact, it makes my point. Kelly was surrounded by HOFers. So they won a ton of games with modest passing numbers. Imagine those Bills with that Defense, Thurman....and Marino behind Center. At least 1 Lombardy would be in the Bills trophy cabinet. -

Mr. WEO replied to Victory Formation's topic in The Stadium Wall
I understand the hagiography around Kelly, but there's just no way he's a top 5 QB, in his prime, today. He led the league 2 times in his career in passing yards (3844, 3593 yards). He wasn't a prolific passer (even by his era's standards) and his run game was modest. Compared to his contemporaries: Marino led the league 6 times (5084, 4706, 4434, 4137, 3997, 3563). Moon did it 4 times (4690, 4689, 3631, 3489). Fouts 5 times (4802, 4715, 4082, 3740, 3638). Marino led the league in TDs 2 times (48 and 44). Kelly had 1 season over 25 (33). He had Jim Everett career numbers-plus a few more TDs per season. These 3 guys, far more than Kelly,likely could have been top 10 in their prime today. Other QBs in that era were lighting it up---with the different rules, with the different schemes. -

Mr. WEO replied to Victory Formation's topic in The Stadium Wall
He had 2 seasons of 3500+ yards. He was top 10 in yardage 6 times in 11 seasons (3 times top 5). He was top 10 in pick 6 six times (#1 in 3 different seasons). 7 seasons under 60% completed. He passed for more than 25 TDs once. today, he would be 20+ in a list of QBs. there are few QBs back then who would be close to top 5 today. Obviously Marino, Fouts. Maybe Moon.
