  1. I can't stand Booger, especially when he first started. Recently he been better obviously putting in work on his TV craft. 

     

    Last night he won me over completely.  No fake tears, no making it any himself or his feelings. Just straight up truth and empathy.

    Yet both teams and particularly the Bills are given a competitive disadvantage by not even being allowed the opportunity to have home field advantage throughout the playoffs barring a KC loss to the Raiders 

    We had all year, all we needed to do was not fumble a snap for a TD.

     

    This is a tragic event, nothing is fair in life or this situation. As long as Hamlin lives that's all that matters.

    The Cheatriots; from 7-6 to 8-8. A fly in the ointment.

     

    HOWEVER, they can still be a MAJOR pain in our asses... If they beat us next week they secure a wild card spot so they're guaranteed to be super motivated against us. On top of that if they make the playoffs they'll be sure to want to make their season by beating us in the playoffs.

     

    If we beat Cinci tomorrow night, we'll have to decide how to approach week 18 vs NE based on the aforementioned situation

    .

     

     

    No matter what happens this week we need a win for seeding unless both kc and cinci play before us and we know the layout

    Yeah... But who would you rather see in a possible playoff game:

     

    The Cheats or the Dolfelons...

     

    Which one is easier?

     

     

    Both are inferior to a true SB contender. 

     

    It doesn't matter, they should roll both.

    He was not just some "high motor" guy, he was graded an an elite athlete, twitchy and explosive.  I agree he is undersized.  I am not going to pretend to be a draft expert but I will look at the totality of work Beane and McDermott have and I conclude they have one of the best rosters in the NFL.  My point about hindsight is more that any fan of any team can go back and find players they should have drafted instead of a guy they do have.  You win some you lose some, the Oliver pick was not some reach, he was graded out about where he was picked.  Like all picks it came with upside and risk.   Someone could show an assembly line of prototype size/productivity guys at the college level that did not work out.

     

    Is Ed Oliver some kind of bust?  I will say we can expect more production by year 4 than he has produced given his draft position.  The lack of production is party due to a slow NFL start and injuries.  He makes impact plays at times.  No one will mistake him for Donald but he is a good player, one that can help this team win the SB this year.

    Right, Oliver did test exceptionally, even though he was undersized, and he was drafted on par with expectations, i don't dispute that.... but this team has an obsession with undersized guys to a fault.  It's part of the reason i was so excited they drafted a guy like Rousseau to begin with.

     

    The latest extreme example being Terell Bernard, just good lord, what are they even thinking. He doesn't even have the athletic profile nevermind size. Or for years you look at our WR corp and everyone was under 6 foot and didn't have big time athletics to compensate, then they got Diggs via trade but still, no investment in a WR with big wingspan, closest we have is 6'2" Gabe Davis and his 58th percentile arm length. 

     

    I just think it's exciting to see them take the guy with the measurables and he work out and be a difference maker. His length creates so many issues for teams.

    That would've been fun.

    Philosophical question: you're a life-long (in my case, 50 years) Bills fan. Would it bring you more happiness to watch your team go all-in for a 1-2 year time frame and win a Super Bowl (think Rams), and then return to mediocrity and rebuilding for another half dozen years? Or would you prefer to have a team that's in the SB hunt year after year thanks to a great QB and consistent replenishment of the talent base (think Roethlisberger's Steelers), even if you may never be a SB favorite in any given year?

    Honestly, I don't know my own mind here. I kind of like following a really good team these last few years, so I'm not (yet) to the point where I want to mortgage the future. But still ...

    What makes you think giving up a couple draft picks for a pro bowl offensive player shortens your window? SF gave up a 2nd, 3rd, 4th in the up coming draft,  in 2020 we used those picks to draft AJ Epenesa, Zack Moss, and Gabe Davis -- if we had CMC instead we would be better off.  We traded a 1st for Diggs and it propelled us to new heights.

    I know Super Bowl ticket prices are absurd (like about 6000$ including fees, etc... for the absolute worst seats.)  Add in flights and hotel and you're probably looking at at least $20000 for 2 people to go together.  I'm looking at my finances, and although I could make it work, it just seems outrageous to spend that much money on a 2-3 day trip.  On the other hand, it could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.  So - if the Bills are in the Super Bowl, are you likely to be there?

    Josh Allen is our quarterback, it would not be once in a life time. 

  7. And you know why he's becoming elite? Because they actually drafted a guy with elite measurables. He's got elite size and great athleticism. 

     

    They invest too many draft picks into undersized lunch pail high motor guys, especially at a position as physical as defensive line. You can't do that with first rounders.

     

    I've loved the Rousseau pick from day 1, i just wish they would make more of those.

    Hands down would be the best uni in pro football.

     

    I know I'm in the minority, but I would also love a modern redesign of the logo.

    I'm all aboard for a logo redesign.

     

    But those 90s unis, puke, just a blue penny with a white and red colar, the cheapest looking jersey you've ever seen post-1990. No character. People like these because of the teams that wore them not the style itself.

    Yes too early to tell but I think Mick White is the real deal.  They way he played with cracked ribs, the guy is a gamer and people will follow him, actually they  already do.

    LOL PLEASE...  Mike White is 27 years old, been terrible his entire career.  He had 1 good game against the dumpster fire Chicago Bears this year and been horrible outside of that and people are anointing this guy. 

     

    This is the classic example of over reacting to a change of scenery QB who follows that of terrible QB play (Wilson). 

     

    Mike White stinks. Stop blindly following the media and coach hype.

    I also wish Beane would pull the trigger on trades more. Wish we got Von in the trade that LA pulled off last year. I think we have a trophy if he did that.

    Could you imagine if we had CMC? Good lord.  But instead we get to pick another Boogie Basham next year.

    If we can live in hindsight we would have HOF level players at every position.  You make the decision with the information you have at the time.

    And at the time Oliver was an undersized "high motor" guy, the exact opposite of what you are looking for at the top of the draft when you have an assembly line of protptype size and physical ability to pick from.

    Whaley/Nix picked Manuel over Geno when everyone and their mother said Geno was the #1 QB in the class and Manuel was a 3rd round project. 10 years later Geno is in the pro bowl and Manuel is a college football analyst

    And for the 9 years leading up both were absolutely irrelevant and terrible.

     

    Geno is on his 4th team, he's 32.

     

    Both were terrible picks.
