  1. All fighters rise and fall usman was a killer for a few years … he has terrible knees (needs knee replacement) but still grinds it out it’s a new era … Leon was his kryptonite
  2. Every single stadium study ever done has shown a football stadium does not do much for a local economy The study the bills did, Said the stadium will bring in as much money as a new target Would a new target in Orchard Park change the scope of Western New York? No
  3. McKenzie is extremely talented but might not fit what we are looking for now .., post WR FA signing he is very talented with the ball in his hands , a very good kick returner and a solid punt returner his route running has not developed as much which is left us needing more at the 3-4 as a receiver he’s a great team player and a great fit for Pitt
  4. The lineman pool is 40% thinner than 20 years ago the pool of nfl caliber lineman gets thinner by the year with the spread Teams need to develop more now than ever … udfa like Bates is proof athletes are there that need development
  5. I’m sensing sarcasm
  6. Notice the language they use Could have been a possibility… If a stadium deal wasn’t agreed-upon Of course we were going to leave if we didn’t get a new stadium … They’ve been saying this for 20 years the stadium was to keep the bills in Buffalo… It’s not a threat if Pegula sports state the obvious…. If we don’t get a Stadium someone else will pay for one That’s been a known fact for 20+ years… We build the stadium or lose the bills I would rather pay more in taxes and keep the bills
  7. Most politicians are corrupt I’m using that loosely .. Not the common people politicians and lobbyists They’re all trying to get in on the deal "Every resident of Erie County, and in fact, every taxpayer in New York state is an investor in the stadium so we all have a stake in this deal. It’s public money, it’s public land and we all have a right to a seat at the table," said Ó Súilleabháin. We all have a right at the table Every group and lobbyist is trying to get in at the table
  8. You Talk about all the reports about Terry threatening to leave Yet you’ve never seen the reports of all the local community groups trying to get a hold of part of that public money? "Every resident of Erie County, and in fact, every taxpayer in New York state is an investor in the stadium so we all have a stake in this deal. It’s public money, it’s public land and we all have a right to a seat at the table," said Ó Súilleabháin. Executive Director Of the partnership for public good Lots of lobbyists are trying to touch the money
  9. And if we’re just speculating Then I’m pretty sure Terry would sell to somebody who would keep them in Buffalo Seeing his legacy is tied in Buffalo And there’s a lot of corrupt lobbyists who want their piece of the pie in the stadium… That’s absolutely a fact They’re trying to drain every last penny out of the state and county for their own needs, Not related to a football stadium But since they’re getting 700 million for a football stadium they want their slice of the pie
  10. There’s been plenty of owners who threaten things without having to read between the lines If I have to read between the lines it’s not a real threat And they would never be able to keep the Sabres if they sold the bills… It would be mutiny in Buffalo And Terry’s not selling his beloved Sabres
  11. A Veiled threat It’s completely different than a real threat Hence the separate definition It’s to make the state get in gear… It’s not serious
  12. As already mentioned 1000 times Ralph Wilson did not pay for the stadium… It is owned by the county a precedent Was set Terry tied up most of his liquid assets in purchasing the bills… It was always well known that the county and state would have to pay most of the stadium Reiterating that is not a threat There is not one fortune 500 company in Buffalo… Not one fortune 500 company And Terry Pegula does not own the current stadium… Just like Ralph Doesn’t own it He showed how much he wanted the bills by paying over $1 billion for them… His commitment to Buffalo is clear with the Ownership of all three teams Telling the county and state it’s your time to show how much you want to team is not a threat… Because they had to pony up
  13. You can also read it like that which is perfectly acceptable And that makes a lot of sense The stadium downtown would’ve been close to $1 billion more after infrastructure changes…The state and city would’ve needed to foot a lot more
  14. He never threatened to move the bills At most you could call it veiled…. Which is completely different than being out right threatening to move the bills… He’s not wrong when he said the city and state need to decide how much they want the bills… That’s perfectly reasonable Because He wasn’t footing the bill…. So absolutely the state and city needed to decide how much they want the bills… They can pay and keep them…. Or someone will build them a stadium That’s just a fact it’s not a threat You can cry and think he was threatening you , it’s called a business move… leverage
  15. That’s not threatening to move the team Lol Like Ralph… He’s saying the city and state have to pay… They need to decide how much they want the bills… Pegula basically said I WANT IT in Orchard Park… Now it’s your turn to show how much you want it Where does it say I will move the team? Terry wasn’t paying for the stadium majority… Neither did Ralph…. The city and state needed to decide how much they wanted the bills If they want the bills , pay for the stadium… That is still not saying give me my stadium or I’m leaving Because he never said I will leave That’s Called playing hardball…. That is absolutely not a threat to leave because he never said the words leave he Put it on the state and city
  16. There is 1000 junk articles with no verifiable sources Give me one verifiable link from Terry Pegula where he threatened to move the bills
  17. The bills are never leaving
  18. There is literally no science to drafting a player… science could never measure a kids internal motivations …. Wants , needs …. What makes him tick its a crapshoot …. Because talent only takes you so far
  19. Stands no ground lol
  20. Nobody runs a 43 or a 34 the majority of the time anymore There’s too much speed and wide receivers on the field The NFL is all about sub packages …. Nickel and Hybrid dime defenses Even if we use more 43 looks it would never be close to 70% like base defenses 25 years ago you can run more 43 and keep Taron on the team lol
  21. He’s one of the better back end roster guys in the NFL versatile , special teams , team guy… he’s one of the better 49-53 guys in the league all those guys are depth , st guys
  22. Starling was very interested in SU coming out we were in final 3 iirc and ND made heavy push
  23. Beane didn’t draft Milano!!!!
