    The best part was when they brought in Cameron Maybin to help out and he went something like 0-30....which was only marginally worse than how our $35 million player was performing.

    Linder? Hopefully he will get it going! Maybin is a joke!

    I love the cold, I love winter. 😁

     

    Anyways, I think Rousseau will be good, but I think Basham will be the better player both short term and long term. I’m glad the value worked out the way it did though. Boogie at 61 was a miracle. 

     

     

    Whether he becomes elite or not, Basham seems to be a disruptive and havoc type player. He is going to do well.

    Athletic article by Joe B:

    Strengths:

     

    Joe points out a couple plays where he excelled as a 3TDT and speculates that may be his future in the NFL.  Says he also creates opportunities for teammates on stunts:

     

     

     

    Joe B says his strength, balance and power also make him a strong factor in run D

     

    Weaknesses:

     

     

    Joe B thinks Basham has a stronger chance to become a Year 1 contributor than Rousseau because he is older with more experience, and Joe believes he can play either side at end as well as 3TDT or a hybrid role (what the Bills likely hoped Q would contribute)

     

     

    Excellent Post! Basham may be John Randle like!

    ya think? anyone who spends 5 min on this board could have told JA that.

     

    Beane pretty much said it after the KC playoff  game that no team needed a game plan to stop Bills' tight ends. And Hollister doesnt really move the needle as of now.

     

    With Kyle Pitts joining the Falcons, I think Hayden Hurst, more than Zach Ertz, might be in play for the Bills.

    Hurst would be fantastic!

    First time in buffalo

    I grew up in the Buffalo suburbs but haven't lived there since I was maybe 20.  But I do visit from time to time.  So here are some thoughts from someone who is kind of a local and kind of an outsider:

     

    Don't be afraid to drive.  Buffalo is a small city as American metro areas go and the traffic congestion is nothing like LA.  There's no burb of Buffalo that's out of reach no matter where you stay.

     

    Wings.  This didn't use to be true but you can now get good wings in lots of cities.  So I would go to the Anchor Bar, despite it not being the best wing joint in Buffalo, just to see the birthplace of the wing.  I do agree that Duff's and some other places are better than the Anchor Bar.  But they're not necessarily better than the best wing spots in other metro areas.    

     

    Pizza.  I read an article by a pizza connoisseur who raved about Buffalo pizza.  It is indeed very good and for a very good reason.  Buffalo has far, far more pizzerias per capita than Chicago or NYC.  In fact, depending what list you look at, either Buffalo or Orlando (?!?!) have the most pizzerias per capita in America.  And interestingly, most pizza places in Buffalo are mom-and-pop places - the national chains don't tend to fare very well because their product doesn't meet Buffalo's high standards.  The pie competition in Buffalo is fierce and brings out the best in the local pizza chefs.  

     

    Beef on Weck.  Charlie the Butcher is my go-to spot.  NYC celebrity chef, Geoffrey Zakarian, loves the place.  So do I.  

     

    Sponge Candy.  I visit Parkside Candy's Main Street location nearly every time I'm in Buffalo.  The chocolates and sponge candy are good and the store is housed in a dilapidated architectural treasure.  

     

    Niagara Falls.  Visit both the American and Canadian sides.  On the American side, you can walk out onto Goat Island, Luna Island, and the Three Sisters and get up close to the rapids and falls.  On the Canadian side, you get a better panoramic view of the three falls that make up Niagara: Horseshow, American and Bridal Veil.  The Maid of the Mist boat ride is worth the price and will take you to the middle of the Horseshow Falls.  

     

    Btw, I have to disagree about Mighty Taco.  Mighty Taco used to serve awesome tacos and burritos in filthy little holes in the wall.  Then they went all Taco Bell and starting building typical fast food style restaurants with cheaper, crappier versions of the delicious stuff they used to sell.  I'm so disappointed in what Mighty has become that I will never visit them again.   

     

    Also worth knowing, there's a Bills souvenir store in front of the stadium.  Sometimes I find things there I don't see online and didn't know I needed until I saw them there.  

     

    Enjoy your visit.  Hope the Bills give you a victory to celebrate!

    Marino vs Kelly

    Marino was maybe a better passer, but he sure as hell wasn’t a better QB.

    And how many times did Kelly out class him in head to head matchups! Boom!

    It triggers a memory of the Bills 49’s game in 1992! Kelly on all cylinders!
