  1. Well they said a deal may be contingent on Murray being first pick so......
  2. They did, but it seemed like it was the lying to the GM/ HC and not the video that got him cut fwiw. Hill already had issues so it will be interesting
  3. Lol... can’t stand that choad
  4. Watch draft, eat, get my hopes up, get let down, get upset, talk myself into optimism, then go to bed.
  5. Darned right it is. We as fans have our convictions on players too. The board would be a very dull place if all we did is agree and applaud the picks as they came in. Why bother !
  6. Agreed. They seem to have addressed the other spots. I hope we get Harry, but I think it will take some moving around by Beane to land him. Loved his production even in a less than perfect circumstance. I’ll definitely look more into Butler , as I’m not that familiar. This will go a long way toward seeing if Allen has what it takes or not.
  7. Good list. My favorite player on it is Harry. My interest is more recent, but I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t end up in a Bills uni, perhaps more than any other player in this draft. A perfect fit imo , and just what Allen needs.
  8. One is an exact science , and one is not. Many in high places get their jobs partly through connections; it’s how the world works. While some regular fans could certainly do well as a GM ( and some regular fans might be heart surgeons) no GM will ever be perfect. Even if you yourself were making the picks- you’d have your hits and your misses. While I often disagree with the picks my teams GM makes , and often have my doubts, my enjoyment isn’t decreased if the players eventually succeed. Nor does it make me glad to be able to say “ I told you so “ if they fail. In the end, I don’t care if I’m right. I only care if the Bills FO ends up being right.
  9. Multiple picks for proven NFL talent vs a prospect.
  10. Yeah, the Bills liked Thomas in that draft. Good point on Beane but it bears watching imo. Opens up the possibility of another position at 9. Hmmm
  11. Yep, and it’s the chance they take going to various locations in the late spring. To be safe they could stay further south or in Cali. Otherwise, the chances of it raining on the parade are higher.
  12. Fwiw, this Bills FO and HC have shown a willingness to move around the board for specific players, rather than let the draft come to them. I’d expect to see more of the same in today’s draft.
  13. Ummm, no. Seattle Seahawks wall, probably.
  14. Hmmm, I would hate it. Hope this scenario doesn’t play out as you described. If Oliver is there, I hope they take him. 9 is too early for Williams. My ideal scenario is some combination of Oliver, Hockenson , Fant and Nkeal Harry as the first two selections. Fant is a possible move down scenario. I think a move up from the Bills round 2 selection will be necessary to select Harry. The Bills need pass catchers to fix the offense and this would get it done imo. I think they e done enough in the offseason to bring the O line back to a respectable level. Hock/ Fant and Harry would set Allen up for the foreseeable future.
  15. Goes to show that there is a learning curve at WR in the NFL. Of course, Todd Collins at QB in year two didn’t help matters.
  16. Yes, end of rookie season I believe.
  17. As per the report, there isn’t enough evidence to support criminal charges. I’m not sure what “ this” you are referring to as being a part of our republic. The current election system is fine, if that’s what you mean. Perhaps you could name ( if it’s not Facebook ads) just what things in this concerted effort you think influenced the election and why. Be specific , too many generalizations on your end.
  18. The Bills wanted Marvin Harrison in that draft, but weren’t in position to get him. However, I do think Moulds could have ended up a HOFer if he had been with the Colts and Peyton Manning his whole career. He got all of one season with a declining Kelly at QB and didn’t play much. Moulds was the last great WR the Bills had. I hope they can land the next one soon.
  19. But whatever he “ did” does not disqualify him for the office. I do not share your opinion that this “ sustained and widespread effort” made any significant difference. Just what difference did it make, then? Did it mobilize voters that supported Trump? Russians didn’t cast any votes. I doubt they changed anyone’s mind. A few memes on Facebook doesn’t change anyone’s mind. Well, perhaps a few feeble ones. Candidates state their positions and voters vote based on that. You seem to think winning an election happens through manipulation, sorcery and magic. I don’t.
  20. Russia has been involved in attempting to influence elections and political opinion before. No crime was committed by Trump or his campaign. It didn’t rise to that level. Oh well. I simply don’t believe that Russia had any effect here, and you do. Fine. The demographics needed to win certain states is information widely available. Trump clearly understood the electoral college and where he needed to win to take the election. It’s no secret, everyone knows that that are just a few key swing states that decide the election as all the others are firmly entrenched. No mystery here, if you aren’t too busy to pay attention.
  21. They certainly can do it. Just more expensive, and more expensive to maintain. As an aside, I believe most of the complaints about the field are about footing, slipping on the turf. Maybe it’s a drainage issue? Has the product been updated or improved in any way ? I’m not sure on either of those things.
  22. Okay, now it’s about obstruction of justice. Did that help win the election ? Nope. It was already over. You are the one being silly, as per usual. As I stated, many secrets about the Donald came out . Even in the critical period just before the general election. You are mad that Hillary lost, and are more focused on the fact that some emails were stolen than you are about the content of those emails. No fair! you say. Sorry but the vast majority of Trump voters weren’t converted Hillary supporters. The emails only cemented their choice, it didn’t change anything. Say what you want to about obstruction, but the election was already lost.
