  1. I was just telling the wife this is like deja vu all over again.... I'm enjoying the games and hoping to see a memorable end of the season run. Keep fighting, keep winning, got to break through one these years Goallll on cue😄
  2. Goalllllll Beautiful move and shot by Girgensons
  3. I have seen a few of his games. Once again, I am not advocating for or against, I am merely pointing out that for a guy who, as you say, is a threat to score on every play......he only scored 5 tds on 75 catches last season. Stats never tell the whole story, but watching more of his tape won't change those numbers... They are in the books, people can make of it whatever they like.
  4. His speed makes him a threat on every play... but the reality is he scored only 5tds on 75 rec this past season. Franklin for example scored 14 times on 81 catches. Straight line speed doesn't necessarily convey or take the place of great route running, deceptive breaks, elusive moves in space, etc.
  5. I'm not advocating for or against, but I would think that running a 4.34 40 at 205lbs would qualify as an elite trait...
  6. Another tough game today, let's go Sabres! Win em all...one at a time The Sabres have the leagues 2nd hardest remaining schedule.
  7. Wtf Disgusted Refs giving the game to Florida with that additional bench penalty on Granato 5 on 3 What a bull#### call to make
  8. Ya The Panthers aggressive D makes it harder to get set up. I think the Sabres need to put more pucks and players to the net and not try to pass it around for the perfect shot. UPL has been great. Here we go....Let's Go Sabres! PP coming up...
  9. They may have only a slim chance at the playoffs but I'm enjoying watching them play the last few weeks. It's been a while since I've watched many games but it reminds me how much I miss it. I'll watch until they're in or eliminated. They really need a breakthrough. If they can win on the road against a really good team tonight and keep this streak going.....who knows
  10. Cmon Sabres Need to shoot more on the PP.... Not gonna pass it into the net Nice save by Luk at the horn 3rd coming up down 1
  11. I'll give you $490 for the unused ticket 🤣
  12. Doesn't seem like that would be a real possibility....but we can dream. Diggs Shakir Franklin, Thomas, and Kincaid would definitely give DCs nightmares Adding just one of them to that group would be scary enough as it is.. Let's hope they can do that at least
  13. Thomas is a great talent as well. I have heard from many that he probably won't make it to 28. I don't know enough to have an opinion on that. I guess we'll found out in a couple months. I prefer Franklin because I think he is a more complete receiver at this point (and I'm a Ducks fan), route running, deceptive breaks, etc. But I like Thomas size, speed and elusiveness as well. I'd be happy if they land either one of those 2.
  14. One thing I like about Franklin that I'd like to add; Bo Nix is a very mobile qb who likes to evade the rush and extend plays like Allen does. Franklin was great at getting open and being available for him in those situations. I met my wife at the Univ of Oregon where she ran track and we are followers of all Ducks sports. We still live near Eugene 28 years later. I have probably seen almost every one of his games on TV or in person. He is a threat to score from anywhere on the field and especially on extended plays. He is also a nuanced receiver who runs great routes with deceptive breaks and short area quickness. He's not just fast.
  15. Franklin is thin for his height and frame at 6'3" ~190, but consider that he has put on 20 lbs in the last 2-3 years (170 lbs entering college) and just turned 21 a couple weeks ago. I think he still has some filling out to do. With the proper training table diet and exercise I think he could easily put on another 10-15 lbs of muscle without slowing down. 6'3" ~205 is a good size for an outside receiver.
  16. Gus Edwards ran 4.52 at 238 lbs... that's impressive speed for a guy that size. I imagine he would not be very expensive with all those backs available. I don't know too much about him or his fit with the Bills, but if they need a big battering ram who could be a breakaway threat in the 2nd level..... He's not quite as big as Henry, ~10lbs lighter, but is a little faster and probably a lot cheaper. I don't think Henry will be nearly as cheap as some seem to think.
  17. How about the Bills get past the Divisional round before projecting what 'they' will think of McD if he loses a SB. Why are you so worried about what people think about McD anyway You're bold, Buffalo Billy. People get way too dug into their opinions? While you're telling us what people will say after McD wins his 2nd and 3rd SBs? 🤣
  18. McD taking responsibility for anything ...... ever, would be a start. Until he does that, we'll never know what 'they' would say if he did. You would rather have a coach that accepts no responsibility and blames others, while you project what 'they' would say if he ever did accept any blame? I don't think expecting an explanation after one of the worst collapses in NFL history is unreasonable. I do think that McDs pattern of avoiding it while blaming others is a terrible quality for a head coach. Then why doesn't he just have 'no comment' and keep his mouth shut instead of deflecting blame onto others?
  19. McD doesn't 'own' the past and that's the problem. He doesn't own up to anything....ever He makes mistakes that he never 'owns'....in fact he makes sure to deflect blame onto someone else. That's a terrible trait for a leader
  20. Or maybe he took over the play calls and completely ***** up that 13 seconds and just wanted to move on without talking about it. Explaining yourself after one of the all time worst meltdowns in NFL history would be 'being chatty'? Blaming others and taking no responsibility is the high road evidently.
  21. This just reinforces what I've thought all along......whatever good qualities McD may possess, he is sorely lacking accountability and intelligence. He says the only failure is quitting? News flash, you can try your hardest and fail year after year after year if you're not good enough or make enough mistakes. He seems to think you are guaranteed to win a SB if you just keep trying real hard. 👏
  22. It's pretty funny reading the first few pages of this thread..... All the comments that have aged so terribly and how those with the audacity to question Knox' talent or Beane's wisdom offering him such a ridiculous contract were vilified. How dare they question Knox or Beane... 😆
  23. It was a terrible contract then that looked even worse when they drafted Kincaid in the 1st round right after he signed it; and even worse again when Kincaid showed he was a much better te in his rookie year than Knox ever will be. Knox was never anything special and never will be. P.S. Knox was rated 55th out of 72 qualifying tes last season while being ~5th highest paid.......the $14 million dollar per year man. Ugh
  24. No way... If he wants his stuff back he can afford to pay for it....if I was the guy taking risks buying storage lockers at auction there's no way I sell it back without some profit to show for my time and risk; especially to a guy who just signed a $13 million contract. It's not like the guy stole his stuff or did anything slimy. If he was that delinquent he only has himself (and possibly the storage co. owner?) to blame.
  25. When you look at a list of the songs and albums on which he played it is just simply amazing that one guy played on so many of the greatest albums and songs with so many different bands.
