  1. Scoring is statistically down in the NHL compared to Wayne Gretzky's era When Wayne played there was guys going for 140 150 170 points a year... Like 100 is considered absolutely phenomenal now.. McDavid had a crazy 150-point season last year that doesn't really happen anymore Last season there were 11 players over 100 points.. in 1993 there was 20 Last year the top three point scorers.. 153, 128, 113... In 1993 , 160, 148, 143 was top 3 There was 13 guys with over 110 points.. last season in the NHL only 5
  2. The NFL is a business at the end of the day... Jamarcus Ingram is playing on a $7,500 guaranteed contract Elam has over 13million in guarantees They're not giving him 13 million without trying him 10,000 times
  3. I think you have it flip floped He has insane tangibles.. his metrics are off the chart If you watch him play in 15 college games the intangibles are kind of missing.. his downfield vision and timing has been off since Michigan He doesn't have the best eyes and stairs down receivers, struggles anticipating between zone coverage He looks the part and has a super live arm and athleticism but those are tangibles
  4. What are you interested in? Casual pizza and wings? Possibly fresh fish from lake Erie? Good Italian? Good Mexican or there's even some good authentic barbecue I could give you a list of all but let me know what you like
  5. Elite vision and very good speed Chris Johnson has elite speed... There's a difference His brother was bigger and couldn't even play well past 27 That's why the bills are being careful
  6. The fact you could probably get a better quarterback in the fourth round this year lol I would rather take my chances on Kyle McCord of Syracuse in the fourth round then him I'm not knocking his physical gifts.. I'm knocking his 6 years in college and not able to knock off any quarterbacks .. he's the type of guy that will wow anybody in a showcase setting His week 18 matchup versus the bills with backups literally means nothing at the end of the day.. Patriots gave him up for nothing so that shows they thought he is a backup There have been plenty of toolsy quarterbacks over the last 20 years who amount to zilch
  7. Are you into museums? The Buffalo region has a host of museums... Including the Buffalo museum of science... Buffalo transportation Pierce arrow museum cool... Buffalo naval Park, Frank Lloyd wright Martin's House museum, Buffalo Albright Knox art gallery The botanical gardens I think there's an underground railroad trail if you're into history... God there is so much good food in Buffalo I can probably give you a whole another list just for that so if you want some good food places let me know
  8. The area would really embrace a winning UB football team too lol As a UB football donor I certainly don't want to lose the football program... Basketball program has had good players and some nice runs but it's not a mid major basketball powerhouse that's been good at basketball for 25 years straight The basketball program also doesn't make the school any money
  9. I think he's way overblown.. besides his actual measurements and physical prowess... There's a lot to be desired with his actual quarterbacking He was on college campus for 6 years at two different schools everybody knows his physical talent Cardale Jones had that too.. there's a reason why he went where he did and why he just got traded for what he got traded for A second round pick when he just went in the 6th.. And he had one good game in a meaningless game versus the bills with backups would never happen lol He was on college campus for 6 years evaluators basically know what he is.. which is why he just went for what he did and why he went where he did in the draft He's not a Tom Brady story.. he's like closer to cardale Jones.. insane physical talent but he's never going to be a long-term starter if I had to bet
  10. I believe he actually logged more snaps at corner last season... Started multiple games when Johnson went down Logged a lot of snaps at corner versus Detroit iirc
  11. I mean you're in a no win situation basically.. I'm not hitching my wagon to Sanders that early And I know XYZ can say ABC about him.. the best training, groomed by Brady, accurate athletic etc I don't doubt his physical talent I'm not sure what his will to win is... I might be in the slight minority.. but I'm not the only scout who thinks he's been protecting his stats the last two seasons His talent is for the modern NFL and a good blend of traits... I just think he'd rather throw it for four yards on third and nine instead of pushing it past the sticks too much... I've seen him run out of bounds on third down behind the line of scrimmage To me that screams protecting stats because he knows he's going to go in the top 10
  12. Well I'm German not British 🤣
  13. Don't rain on his parade According to the House of Lords There have been five years since 1900 when there was no King's/Queen's Speech. These were 1915, 1925, 1949, 2011 and 2018
  14. That's absolutely viable and something that can and should happen There's been plenty of people who are upset that they didn't build a dome and that orchard Park is not getting transformed lol There is a happy medium... What the town can handle outside of the bills being there while making a visit special I'm not on the orchard Park board but they definitely have some plans for around the stadium... I believe they have changed zoning codes in four different areas so they can build some structures for what they call a Buffalo Bills entertainment zone
  15. Your love life must be something special Virgil 🤣 ::: I kid :::
  16. What's your thought about Kingz? Dude is played at about every single level of college basketball LOL
  17. Nate kingz has committed He has had a weird basketball journey
  18. A tiny tiny version and that's what I've been saying.. orchard Park has approved and entertainment district... In four zones surrounding the stadium You're probably going to get a bills Hall of Fame type exhibition... Maybe a little fan interaction stuff... A hotel and probably two or three restaurants Orchard Park zoning literally doesn't even allow for buildings over two and a half stories... The Buffalo Bills got them to change that and now they're allowed four story in the zones around the stadium.. so I can see a nice hotel , a couple of restaurants... And if a millionaire really wants to get his hands dirty maybe a brewery / restaurant
  19. Are they really going to get rid of ECC South? Where's their campus going to go I think there's already 10 plus hotels in orchard Park for a town of 30,000.. I think they can do one more around the stadium and a couple of restaurants maybe one with a music venue, yes that's totally doable But orchard Park certainly cannot handle 12 new restaurants 365 days a year.. when the town only blows up 10 days a year... There's not enough of a consistent customer base They could handle two restaurants for sure
  20. Well that's my point.. you don't need to develop all of orchard Park to have a nice experience The Buffalo Bills and I'm sure they know what they're doing... Have already got a couple of zones okayed for a Bills entertainment zone in the vicinity of the stadium I was more talking about the people who always cry about Western New York being stuck in the past and we can't have nice things and orchard Park is a ghost town.. yet the stadium is going to be one of the best in the world, it's going to be gorgeous and I'm sure it's going to be a great experience around the stadium They are going to have a Bills entertainment district in the vicinity... But my point is people are still going to complain because it won't be good enough for them... They're always going to find something to complain about .. and most of them don't live in Western New York I on the other hand I am ecstatic about the new stadium... and everything that will come with it
  21. Well it's one thing if they put it on the Buffalo Bills grounds or in the immediate vicinity of the stadium It's a completely different thing to build up orchard Park... Which is what many people have expressed their desires to do in all the new stadium threads... With cries of woe is me and why can't we have good stuff and this is why Wny is stuck in the past Also every single new development in orchard Park has to get voted on... Which they are very very conservative... They already approved a bills zone in 4 districts surrounding the stadium That's the spots that they will build up and people will still cry
  22. Dude first of all Green Bay is 3 or 4 times larger than orchard Park lol Second of all orchard Park doesn't want any of this.. that's the thing everybody's missing They don't want to get built up , they don't want to get turned into cheektowaga They literally like being a small town that turns into a small city nine times a year They don't 15 more restaurants or 15 more hotels or the town expanded.. people move to orchard Park because they like it how it is
