  1. He would be stupid not to. He will forever be at risk of head injury due to his history now, most of the time the cap thing won't really bother him as a QB, and they do help (a little) at energy reduction in a hit/collision. At first it might a taboo thing around the league but you watch....in time tons of guys (the smart ones) will be wearing these things, unless they really bother the players when playing, which is something I know nothing about.
  2. We will host the draft the year after we host the Super Bowl. Just ain't gonna happen. Move on.
  3. I'm watching and reading a ton on this guy, and I love what I see. He might be the gem of the entire draft for us. I think he'll be loved in Buffalo sooner than later. Like the warpaint too. Not too different from what Poyer did. Shows attitude and aggression.
  4. This is the crap that will get McD fired at the end of this upcoming season....I hope. Maybe Beane will go with him; this strikes me as a horrible draft so far.
  5. Probably could have gotten the guy even lower...if this is your guy, trade down again and get him there.
  6. 4.61 40 time? This ain't college ball. Looks big and slow; good hands. Meh.
  7. I"m really curious to know who the Bills think will replace Stefon F-ing Diggs this year, b/c we have nothing CLOSE ON THE ROSTER right now. We are running out of opportunities here.
  8. I love that Worthy isn't good enough for us, but KC trades up to grab him. He'll probably be the next Tyreek Hill. Bills will be looking for new HC next year.
  9. Should we try to trade up and get in front of Arizona? They are the only one left in front of us who will take a WR for sure. Why give them the benefit of picking? Would Tampa or GB swap with us?
  10. Pittsburgh might take that best C in the draft next. Or LT.
  11. It's pretty much always like this; I'm keeping most of my attention on the Panthers/Lightning game, but it's easier to read a list of picks tomorrow with your breakfast. The draft always promises way more interest that it actually provides.
  12. No one here has a clue what he'll turn into. Gotta wait and see as with all these guys.
  13. Comfort show for me is Northern Exposure. I have all seasons on DVD and have seen them all 1,000 times.
  14. Will never forget the ridiculous enthusiasm here for the guy the day it was announced he was a Bill. People are delusional.
  15. I'm unhappy with the hire, but Lindy can be serviceable for a couple of years. There's no long game here and we will need to move on from him sooner than later; as long as we do that, I'm OK with it. I knew they would do this when they retained some of the assistant coaches. Adams claims he looked at "double digits" of candidates; I find that hard to believe. This is who he wanted all along.
  16. Too many for me to list. Near the top would be, as demonstrated daily at TSW, a complete inability for many to understand the differences between "THEIR", "THERE", and "THEY'RE". It's really not that hard guys. Another that is used so universally incorrectly now it might have gone from "wrong" to "correct": "HONE" vs. "HOME". "I am going to "hone" in on something." Correct usage is "HOME" as in radar homing, as in a term developed in WWII with the advent of radar. You look at a broad expanse of sky, sea, or space, and try to narrow down or, narrow in, or radar home-in on your target. I.E., go from broad to narrow. Go from vague to specific. People say "HONE" as though they are somehow talking about a blacksmith sharpening something. I don't get it. Using "HONE" in this context makes no sense; you don't "hone in" on a blade. Next time, use "HOME" and correct others who do this; you'll be 1 in 1,000.
  17. Who else is looking forward to Boston vs. TO later today? Will be cheering hard for the Bruins. My prediction: Bruins in 6. Probably the 1st round series I want to see the most. Who the hell doesn't know about the KC Scouts? Wonder if he remembers the Atlanta Flames or Colorado Rockies. Or California Golden Seals!
  18. You have to define what "being in contention" means to you. That is going to mean different things to different people. Did you think, for example, that we were in contention to win the SB last year? I did not. "In contention" to me means one of a handful of teams being discussed to win a SB and expectations to do so, with some luck, being realistic. We MIGHT be in contention next year; next year's team doesn't exist yet so it 's hard to comment on that. I am predicting playoffs and an exit from them right around where we always do, and the post-season discussion being about "heat on McDermott" more than ever, if he isn't fired outright at season's end. I would gladly trade me being totally wrong for a SB victory.
  19. It's entirely possible he has rethought his position with owning the Bills and Sabres due to his wife's health. I still think this is a weird move; wanting to transition to a different stage of life without the burden of these teams is one thing, but why sell 25% of it? Is he hurting for cash and needs some liquidity? Why? The funny thing is that for the last several years, their actions with regard to the Sabres could be viewed as preparatory steps to selling the franchise. They had things stripped pretty clean at one point.
  20. This is GREAT that the players themselves are talking about this, and Adams himself mentioned it a lot in his PC. It's a glaring problem with this team and it needs to get fixed. Wouldn't be surprised to see Skinner as a buyout. IF not now, soon.
  21. I'm all in favor of college athletes getting paid and skipping the whole "education" part, which 99% of them are doing already. Huge money being made off their hard work. It's a flaw in how football works in this country. For some reason, minor league football has evolved to be "college football". I'm in favor of the whole thing being radically re-worked.
