    If the subject is what we don't care about........fill in the blanks about how much I care about your very existence. The subject is the sustainability of football in Buffalo...........and make no mistake it is going to be about maximizing revenue..........which is why so many of those new stadiums are domes. Do I expect the Bills to f*ck it up and build another venue that contributes to them continuing to be a historically bottom third winning % franchise? Yep.
  2. BADOLBILZ
    5 of the last 7 new stadiums built have been domes. The biggest game of the year is more often than not going to be played in a dome from here on out. It was an outdoor sport 20 years ago, but not anymore. The future of NFL football is indoors or in good weather.

    I am a fan of letting stupid teams draft RB's high and then stealing them for cheap...........like the Seahawks did with the Bills to get the young, healthy and cheap Marshawn Lynch. But trading for and paying an injury ravaged Saquon Barkley a robust $7.2M next year isn't that. Only way you are getting that figure down if you trade for him is to extend his contract...........which would be batsh*t crazy at this point. Not a fit until or if the Giants release him and he becomes a free agent..........where his market will be much more modest. Gotta' do it more like Tampa did with Fournette..........they've paid Fournette $2.6M per over the two seasons he's been there.

    Very different situation/stakes. Bills were a SB favorite this summer when these choices were being made.............they made their choice.........and ended up missing the most important/pivotal game of the regular season. The Falcons have a 2% chance of making the playoffs right now. Not surprising if their players are being careless.

    Mostly forgotten......because he didn't win anything and his prime was short........but not underrated in his time. He was the #1 pick in the 1975 draft so always anticipated to be a stud QB..........and was considered a superstar QB in the early 80's............but RB's were equally as important back then and his RB William Andrews was arguably the best offensive player in the NFL from 1979-1983 so he wasn't even the best player on his team. As was often the case back then.........by the time he was becoming a smart and more efficient QB his body was already failing from the beating he had taken.

    Nobody values their spite more than you.

    A reprieve from a sport played once per week? As soon as football ends.....in addition to following the draft/FA..........I start following NCAA hoops, NBA and NHL a little closer and a couple weeks later I am watching MLB spring training games. I know there are people on here who just follow the NFL because of the Bills..........we have a contingent of that at our tailgate and that's always going to be a % of NFL fans...........but there is no need for reprieve from sports for real fans of it.

    He's reminded me a lot of Brad Kaaya but with better wheels. Can't see how that's first round with all the QB talent in the NFL now.........but Kaaya was grossly overrated by draftniks as well.

    I don't have 10 off hand..... but these come to mind: Ghost The Mummies Warlock Pinchers Bloodhound Gang (early to mid 90's new wave/hip hop mix)
  10. BADOLBILZ
    Oh no.........you aren't getting out of praying for the Texans over Tennessee in week 18 that easy.
  11. BADOLBILZ
    I would. But the majority of the most active people on this forum are from far out of town who don't attend Bills games in Buffalo let alone come here for a minor league football product.
  12. BADOLBILZ
    Yeah I think he definitely wants to keep playing but not sure there is a desire anywhere for what he brings to the table at this point.
  13. BADOLBILZ
    Totally agree on the highlighted. The issue is that they drafted for "beating people up or splash plays" and haven't gotten THAT exactly.......so they have some very pricey 5th year options and potential second deals to mull on defense............while at the same time lacking some talent up front and playmaking ability on offense because of those investments..........and that's putting some hard miles on their QB.
  14. BADOLBILZ
    White was on his way toward that too. Might have been having his best season.

    While I get what you are saying........I think growing up in a small rural farming community is a much different experience than growing up a couple short bus rides from a city.......which is what a SUBurb is.

     

    Firebaugh is rural.  

     

    The population is well over 90% hispanic.  The school is almost entirely hispanic.  

     

    The point being........Josh didn't need pop culture or anything external to learn how to relate/communicate with people from different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds........he was different every time he left the house.

     

    AND his father employed a lot of the kids and the family members of the kids that he went to school with so he had to be kind and gracious and a lot of other things the average BMOC high school kid does not have to be.

     

    That's likely why he's such an emotionally intelligent guy who always seems to say the right thing.

    Good blitzers and good LOS pass rushers aren't the same. A lot of the best blitzers are small and excel by getting under or being out of the reach of OL. LOS pass rushers win in entirely different ways. Edmunds has shown flashes of play making ability when aligned outside at the LOS........SF game last year was an example.........but he's rarely used that way. Edmunds is doing a better job blitzing this year but he's not very good at it. Last year he was putrid........like 74 blitzes and wasn't credited with even 1 pressure.

    Firebaugh

    8% white non-hispanic.

    3% students white non-hispanic.

    You are trying too hard here. Statistically.........if you are a first round pick you are about 3x more likely to make a Pro Bowl in your career than if you were a second round pick.
  19. BADOLBILZ
    I think you are being tongue in cheek here.........but Firebaugh isn't a suburb and the school district is only 3% white.

    McKenzie will be a free agent again. I'm not sure how he'd hold up as a regular slot receiver. He got hurt about 5 different times in the NE game. He's fast but small and kinda' clumsy. Receiver is a real need for 2022.
  21. BADOLBILZ
    If Zimmer hadn't gotten injured their DT rotation could spare Star........but when Butler and Ankou have to come in together.........it's a passers paradise in the pocket........no push whatsoever.
  22. BADOLBILZ
    Should have done this to start with. Changing position groups entirely going into his $12M walk season is much too late. Would like to see him as an OLB with the Bills playing more 4-3 base next year though but that won't happen unless he gets hurt and someone steps in and plays more instinctively. He's just proved so far to be too slow of a blinker to play up to his physical potential in the middle..........needs to be where he can play fast.

    Black coffee is the way for me as well. I like sweet food and drink but can't drink sweetened coffee.

    Well your eyes are deceiving you then. Consider this: His receptions per game are about the same(5.5 in 2020 vs 5.4 in 2021). But he has produced a staggering 21 less first downs in just 1 less game played.........53 in 2020 vs 32 in 2021. Last year he was diving between tacklers for extra yards.........this year he's turtled up short numerous times leaving the Bills with a yard or two to convert. Especially since he injured his ribs. And he's down 3.4 yards per reception this year from a decent 11.8 to an anemic, RB-like 8.4 this season. That's woeful. Hopefully the week off has him feeling spry going into the playoffs because as McKenzie proved this week they should be getting more from that position.

    It gets colder at night........but in general, the wind decreases significantly in the evening in WNY and that's the only concern. There are certain jobs that cannot be done in high wind so companies typically schedule those for evenings or very early mornings in this area of the country. The Pats MNF game and the Ravens playoff game last year were weather/wind events that would have been bad at any time of the day.
