  1. I like that we drafted Kaiir Elam. He has the potential to be a perineal all pro DB. But I think Beene was fibbing a little last night. I believe there were at least two players on the Bills board rated higher than Elan, Johnson and Wyatt. I think Elan was the highest rated DB on the Bills Board when they picked.  GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Hochul did the right thing. In my opinion, WNY losing the Bills would have been devastating. The only thing I would have done differently, in an effort to give Buffalo an economic shot in the arm,  is locate the stadium in  downtown Buffalo and add a retractable dome. I would have investigated to see if federal infrastructure dollars could be used for to created a winter sports park featuring Slalom Runs, Speed Skating Area, outdoor hockey arena, etc. The hope would have been to stimulate redevelopment and new private development.

    Now Polly, you dropped Nick Bosa.  He was voted to the Pro Bowl his rookie season.  Also Young and both Bosas were named DROY.  Got some DPOY winners too in the Watt bros (4 times) too.  Why do you even bring up players who were NOT voted to the Pro Bowl as rookies anyway?  Rousseau wasn’t either, but it’s not like that is a good thing.  Lotta bad, average and slightly above average players don’t get voted to the Pro Bowl.  

     

    As for reps, those tend to be earned.  Oliver earned more reps this season and he got them.  Now Rousseau did play solidly this season and he may very well improve.  But he didn’t really distinguish himself on a DL with many solid players, much less in a league with some pretty great ones.  And he didn’t earn more reps.  So you’re still thinking All Pro, huh?  You see a top 2 DE (or 4 if you include second team) in the NFL?  Cool.

    Sorry Downer if I struck a nerve. Relax. As I said , time will tell.

    So blind faith then.  I think he can be a solid DE, but All-Pro is an incredibly high bar.  Tremendously high actually.  There are only two first team and two second team All Pro DEs selected each season.  You’re going to have to do a lot better than he’s a “youngster who shows good speed and strength”.  What do you see that ranks him up with the Bosas, Watts, Garrett, Young, Quinn, Crosby and others who are already legitimately in the conversation?

    Really Downer, I have to do better, I don't think so. Time will tell. However, just for the sake of argument, J Bosa, M Garrett, tj Watt, jj Watt, Quinn, and Crosby were not Pro-Bowlers in their rookie year. Nor do any of them play in a limited rep rotation that would impact their stats. As I said, time will tell.

    Sarcasm, blind faith or do you have some rationale?

    Sure do Debby Downer. I Watched this 6' 7" 270lb  athletic youngster play his ROOKIE season, where he showed good strength and speed. If he works to develop his body into NFL  DE shape, and continues to get reps, I believe he can be an All-Pro.
