  1. I think the point that was being made was the act of seizing a team from a private owner is something that happens in commie land.
  2. Regarding the -ism's ... this could be Communism, or if you held to the light a certain way at noon, it could be socialism. The -ism's are as well defined as a jelly fish that way. Communism or Socialism with a few rare exceptions, end up sucking for their people. Ask Venezuela. ---------------------- Author asserts community ownership is righteous and will make everyone happier. I doubt it. Sure Green Bay is a success. But could you imagine Mayor Brown or Marc Poloncarz running the Bills better than the Pegulas? Bill DeBlasio running the Jets and Giants? Oh wait, that would be a pol from New Jersey. State of the ever falling bond rating. Because you know, government is so efficient with other peoples money. Government should do the bare minimum in people's lives. Including not running a football team.
  3. Om my gosh... corrected. I haven't had enough coffee yet.
  4. Well, that's an awfully dark sentiment. I see it differently. What is more important, pick one: very good coaching very good front office very good sync between front office and coaching (regardless of how good they are individually) I choose very good coaching as the most important factor in team success. The Bills sucked because Rex sucked. FO could have been rock stars, and it probably would have added only game to the W column. I'm cautiously optimistic because I think the Bills may have the right coach. FO is average, while that sucks, it isn't a death sentence if the coach is good or better.
  5. A constructive reply for a teachable moment. Source: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/a-versus-an Example: Correcting someone's grammar is considered a dick move, with the exception that the recipient just insulted you, called you an idiot. --------------- Mahome and Watson are not pick 10 material. pick 25+, yes. We have Taylor, so we're not in the desperate situation of drafting someone higher than they are worth.
  6. Not over paying ... that's a rarity for the Bills. Instead of hometown discount, they usually do the Stockhom-effect hometown overpay.
  7. I'm not normally a superstitious guy, but another 1st round Mike Williams?. We didn't do so well with the first Mike Williams. Maybe a pass (pun intended) is in order if this guy is still on the board when the Bills are on the clock.
  8. Did you see the movie Miracle on Ice? Rent it if you haven't. Yes. He is the Mario Williams of 2017. I snorted my Titos & Soda through my nose when I read that. I have a teen daughter who dips her pizza in ranch.. so gross. Can we at least get rid of the public sex, and the guys setting themselves afire? Yep. The players are millenials. Millenials are not fans of hard work. I hope they become Bruce Smith. He was the grand slack master his first years here. Then something snapped in him and he got in shape, and ...gasp... started studying film on his own without being told to. You know the rest of the story.
  9. It's SAT time. R. Brandon is to the Bills as G. Costanza is to the ______________
  10. Well done. Captain Sarcasm is your new Delta Tau nickname.
  11. By these threads, you mean a thread beating a dead horse... Yes. But unless there was some originality in it, it would quickly disappear off the first page of the forum. Example: A Ralph is Cheap thread, unless there was a big new example of cheapness, would quickly be lost in the froth. Sometimes a 26 page thread is 5 pages of good discussion followed by 21 pages of 2 or 3 people debating each other--usually civilly. If you visit regularly, you learn which threads not to open.
  12. I vote for closed thread. I'm not judging the OP, just saying this doesn't introduce any new information or new analyses that haven't been discussed ad nauseum in all the other threads here.
  13. George Costanza saw Watson at the combine and said: it moved.
  14. Keeping TT isn't going to make me throw the toaster in my bath water. The restructured contract is a nice good faith move on his part, probably a return of the favor when the Bills unnecessarily gave him big dollars last Fall. I bet the Bills still draft Watson if they can. The good news though: thoughts of Carsdale as No. 1 are dead. Sources tell me (I hate to say that), he was a slug in training camp who would rather sleep during off hours than work on his own to improve, and he had high school level mechanics on his footwork and throw.
  15. Yeah, I read that the draft is rich in CB talent. No need for a costly FA CB... the draft can bring someone in.
  16. If it's not announced, it isn't real. The Bills have until March 11th to take action. (I don't know why that is the date) As the time increases between the leak-->official announcement .... the probability of it being fake news increases exponentially. Real signings get reported quickly.
  17. LOL .... people on a fan board dominated these days by 378 threads on Quarterback/Tyrod are criticizing a newspaper for lack of ingenuity? Jay probably plugged his nose when he hit the go button on that article.
  18. Permanent outdoor lighting is a capital asset a landlord is normally responsible for, ie: Erie County. If the Bills are paying for this, the landlord is ripping them off.
  19. He's questionable in the character department. He's injured.. through training camp. He's a UDFA. I'll eat this thread if he's drafted. Aside Regarding Jim Kelly: The USFL made him a successful QB. Running the fast paced USFL offenses trained his mind and his reaction times, led to his success in the NFL no-huddle. This was also the case with Kurt Warner.
  20. Brady's face on my plate = me barfing. Goldman is out. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18594904/oakland-raiders-las-vegas-stadium-deal-loses-backing-goldman-sachsI'm sure to protect the relationship with one of their best customers. The technology feminuch don't relate well to US football.
  21. Thread is TL;DR... so For your theme: I love Fried Clams in a hot dog roll. Back in the day, Friendly's Restaurant had the "Clam Boat" on their menu. You could make it with frozen clams strips... no problem. Your Southern menu is well represented. You could throw down some Whoopie Pies without effort.
  22. LAMP: I was delivering the Courier Express one morning. Old school style with a paper bag over my shoulder. These stray dogs started trailing me. The pack got bigger and some started getting aggressive. I shed the bag and fled home. Turned out one of the ads in the paper had the scent of bacon for dog treats. True story.
  23. dude "hints" that Bills are "likely" A double-weasel-word does not a factual report make. I hate the off season.
  24. Are you the Ice from the 1990's TBD? Your irrationale post makes me think: Yes.
