  1. Right about one thing, it was a snarky post but the rest of it is ridiculous. You appear to have this agenda that the Bills have lost so many players they have little left. No the "English guy" was not drafted because they need players to "play NOW". If we drafted him to "play NOW" we would not have drafted a guy that has never played football. He doesn't count against the 53 man roster and we can carry him "risk free" for a while as he learns the game/ I thought it was an excellent risk adjusted gamble with very little downside but he is huge, fast and seems excited to play football.
  2. Well the unnamed team is a very short list if they wanted him in the later 4th of early 5th and Buffalo grabbed ahead of them..under those guidelines then it would be the Lions, Chiefs, 49ers or Ravens.
  3. Agreed but I have to temper my enthusiasm, it is about this time every year I read all the hype and think we had a killer draft until reality sets in. For example Dorian Williams and Nick Broeker along with free agent Richard Gouraige I thought were real steals in the 2023 draft and none of them really showed much although we essentially got 2 1st rounds last year so overall very good draft. And the year before of course was Kaiir Elam who has shown flashes but not enough. And I was really upset to see yet another mid-late rd RB pick but as I read and watch Davis it is hard not to get get excited. And Dewayne Carter, a three time Captaln, amazing when you think about it and not exactly a football factory at Duke. Love listening to that guy, he along with Coleman are going to be fan favorites.
  4. Controversal view here but it was the correct decision, I was in the stands with a bunch of bill fans and no one knew what was going on. It was the only game on at that time, obviously the call came from the league to declare in a touchback. Had they not, the game would have effectively been over at that point, it took a series of miracles by Deshaun Watson to come back in that game. Maybe back the then letter of the rules it would have been a TD but that was no way to clinch a playoff game.
  5. Kelce got all the attention he was craving, especially thinking his playing career is ending, he only retired twice. Attention ***** to keep relevant.
  6. Thanks for the post. Too bad it was such a dreadfully boring game, then again that was the era of Buffalo boring football.
  7. Agreed. Obviously key is to catch it early. reality is for prostate cancer an incredibly high percent of males will end up with prostate cancer and most will die of something else before the Prostate cancer gets you. In older men prostate cancer is typically a very very slow or metastasizng cancer.
  8. My God, very happy you are not a scout for the Bills. I like how you declare the other poster's opinion is "wrong". I though the McCargo refernce was off, this is even worse. Marcel the lazy great underachiever.
  9. Not even close. McCargo was borderline lazy and a follower, not very bright. Carter is the polar opposite. A leader (team captain), articulate, hard working. Carter is, imo, going to end up being a fan favorit! Great pick and give credit to Beane for trading back to pick him up.
  10. Another St Francis football alum. He joins the list of Tom Telesco, Brian Dabol, Luke Tasker I played at St Francis.
  11. Smart bank, I wouldn't trust you either.
  12. I can see the logic in all that but I still see no "evidence" that Pats wanted Coleman
  13. He will be ok, just a ju-jitsu class away from being invincible just like Tua! Please spare us the sanctimonious, self-righteous lecture.
  14. Chase Claypool is a high-profile WR most fans know, I swear he was signed for both a comp body and to placate some of these WR-crazed Bills fans.
  15. They kept saying he played two sports for several years in college, what as the other sport?
  16. He is a hybrid of Michael Jasper (massive and impressive speed) and Christian Wade (rugby). Neither one worked out so I am not expecting much. Was it a risk-adjusted good gamble, sure why not, it will be fun to watch his progress (or lack thereof).
  17. I couldn't agree more, it has been a fairly constant take here the last few years, defense doesn't matter, it is an offensive game.....the idiocy of that is amazing.
  18. Chris Jones huh, good thing you have realistic expectations.
  19. Wowzer, you have the OPPOSITE of grade inflation on all of these guys. I think ALL of the QBs you mentioned go in Rd 1. I thought you would mention Caleb Williams and his mental stability and prowess to be a leader. His crying episode with his mom is a serious red flag to me.
  20. Yes I thought it was exactly like buying a vacation home with your sister-in-law. Amazingly I figured out they would get great legal/financial advice but things change. Buying a minority interest in a private company is fraught with hidden dangers. What if the Feds/State want to start a wealth tax on unrealized capital gains, just like they have been angling for years to go after hedge Funds. The govt agency could claim the "value" went up X million in one year and demand a cash tax payment. IMO NYS and probably California are the two riskiest states for something like that. Oversimplifying it but those are just some of the risks with minority positions in a private company. Not a bad idea, how many Bill fans would buy stock in the Bills just to say they own some. That is if the NFL owners would allow it a la Green Bay but I doubt it.
  21. Buying a minority position in a private company, yeah good luck with that. Depending upon how it is structured you are totally at the whim of the Pegulas, they dont want to distribute profits/cash flow, your 25% is worthless until they decide to sell out or offer you to sell you an incremental 26% for a controlling interest.
  22. What is 5280, "Mile High", yeah, not a fan of that or the new uniform.
  23. Certainly. Yes, it is a prediction, educated guess.
  24. IS that all we need, a ticket to the playoffs, defense shows up and Josh top play like Josh. Yes it is nice to be optimistic.
