Harrison Butker…oy vey…what a commencement “speech”
oldmanfan replied to eball's topic in Off the Wall
He actually did read the room if you hear the applause he got. A small private religious school invited a guy to give a commencement address that perfectly aligned with their Neanderthal approach. This college takes $$ from families with daughters to basically get them married off. -

He was the best guy on their board and gives them a RB with a different and complementary skill set to Cook. -

Buffalo Bills Schedule Discussion / Prediction Thread

Every year teams that are supposed to be good aren’t and vice versa. Just play the games as they come up and see what happens. Just glad there’s no overseas games. -

THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Receivers are a Dime a Dozen
oldmanfan replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
As (almost) always I agree with Shaw. The talent level across most teams is fairly equivalent. Not totally or you wouldn’t have the Panthers. But relatively so. Winning games and championships comes down to having coaches put in schemes and such that maximize their talent, and a QB that excels. I started a thread saying it’s really all about Brady this year. If he calls a good offense where he gives Josh targets and uses the run game well so Josh doesn’t have to be a hero all the time, the Bills should do well. -

Perhaps. I am of the mind to see how things work out once actual football is played. I know that may sound irresponsible. -

Not saying Kincaid is as good as Kelce. Only that he could be the #1 option for Allen -

A couple things. First the definition of a #1 WR depends on who is doing the defining. Second, any offense comes down to play design and scheme and such. Third as KC has shown your best receiver can be a TE. -

They could bring Hopkins in and you’d say he’s old and no longer whatever a WR#1or 2 is. Your shtick is old and tired. This season depends on Brady’s play design and Josh getting the ball to the right guy. One WR will not make or break this season. -
WR trade candidates, who do you want?
oldmanfan replied to Einstein's Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall
Others have pointed out to you that you can’t manipulate the cap the way you think. You stubbornly refuse to accept that. And you stubbornly refuse to believe Beane. Would I take an Adams? Sure. Can we make the deal you suggest? Probably not. I don’t worry about what it would take and so on because Beane isn’t going to do it, so I don’t waste my time worrying about it. -

oldmanfan replied to Einstein's Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall
It should surprise me that someone who has little knowledge of a player would somehow come to the conclusion that he’s the answer to a question they dream up in their mind. But I’ve been around Bills fans long enough to not be surprised by anything anymore. -

oldmanfan replied to Einstein's Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall
Well there you go. You tell us you don’t know much about a guy but he’s the answer to you. Because he ran fast on one play. So did Beebe. Was he the “#1” back in the day? Training camp can’t get here soon enough. -

oldmanfan replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
If Brady designs things well and Josh makes good reads, we should have different WRs with the most yardage game to game as we will take advantage of what a specific defense gives each week. Lot of ifs to be sure but that is the ideal. -

oldmanfan replied to Einstein's Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall
I suggest you submit your list of good ones to Beane for his consideration. And I’d suggest to quit using 1, 2,3 etc for WRs as if we’re in a kindergarten counting lesson. -

oldmanfan replied to Einstein's Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall
Ok let’s just do this. Sign 30 WRs and play like flag football. One guy snap it back to Josh, everyone take off, and Josh can throw it quick to who he wants before he gets buried. If we sign enough WRs everyone in Mafia land can get their favorite. -

YOU and several others are debating this. Others want to see how the team plays before worrying. -

I can see us drafting another WR next year, but we are not going to trade for another guy this year due to cap and such. While you can have what you describe, it is harder to do so and manage the cap. I would alter your statement to say you need a difference maker on offense in general. It can be a WR but also a TE or a RB. Or a couple in combination. The Pats when they had Gronk and of course the Chiefs with Kelce as examples. I’m hoping Kincaid is that guy. -
