  1. its a deep draft for WR, CB and C...it would be a hoot to see more than 1 center drafted in the first round.
  2. I hope Kim Pegula isnt browsing this board (looking for lifestyle maintenance ideas amongst the cerebral giants that frequent this portal of higher thought) and makes a few calls to One Bills Drive
  3. ironic and true..his bro Gregg is the head legal at PSE and part of the exec leadership team at PSE now...you cant make this up, talk about a Buffalo kinda thing
  4. depth if Trey or Micah or Singletary sprain an ankle who can we rely on there is decent depth at several position groups but not all thats why I like a DB, edge, RB, WR, OL in that order - I would be happy with 5 picks this draft given Diggs acquisition makes 6 and trading up in the middle rounds for quality or quantity in the mid-range... if you want to draft a P in 7 round be my guest
  5. kmet is coming out - check the draft boards he is first or second rated TE - big guy his father played NFL and was drafted by our Bills in 1992 Kmet is also one heckuva baseball player and seems to be picking NFL over MLB career likely 2nd or early 3rd round pick - if we were to pick him this board would have a mushroom cloud over it for week
  6. historically the Bills have not run effective draws and screens...and I think Chan G ran the best ever schemes for us for screens more woeful history...yesterday Joe B from the Athletic had an article where he listed the stats for our TE over 60 years our top 10 for passing yards for TE were 1) the legendary Dave Costa 1967 with most yards..19 freaking effing 67 2) Charles Clay 3x and Scott Chandler x2. - name the greatest TE in Bills history and some will say Paul Seymour because of his blocking helped OJ..but pass catching TE - Pete M ? Charles Clay ? Scott Chandler ? 3) We dont have a TE with more than 725 yards passing in 60 years - we are one of three franchises to never have a TE collect 750 passing yards in a season and Jax is one of the others and they are relatively new historically speaking...so the on-going dialogue about drafting a quality TE will continue until...Dawson Knox develops or we draft one early (first round TE busts include Ruben Gant from the 70s and Tony Hunter the golden domer selected before Jim Kelly that year)
  7. 1. Bills have the least draft capital going into draft, but it all levels after the first round more or less 2. So unless they have a first round grade who slips into the 40s I dont see them moving up. 3. I dont see a RB having second round value based on other needs and depth. more of a 3 or 4th round choice where they have better chance of moving up. 4. CB or Buffalo Nickel is my hunch followed by edge or vice versa for rounds 2 and 3.
  8. not likely, check their cap numbers and they may have to move Thuney (G) to get relief existing pack of pics which exceeds current cap space brady was a mid-round pick, its the coaching ya know
  9. it was over for this dude after opening day 1977... he missed 2 kicks on that rainy day at home against the Dolphins when it was close game...during the zero for the 1970s run Shula and company laid on us; same more or less as Brady and BB did to us this past decade . He also went 3 for 15 from 50 yards plus for his career which lasted several years; hard to fathom why drafted (Bills 5th round) and why he last so long.
  10. the bloom is off the rose with the Pegulas...do they see a recession coming, did their vision change? Man years ago I thought working for a Buffalo professional sports org would have been a dream come true. They must have their reasons and they dont have to justify as plans and more importantly results change. They may have been overzealous in their vision, who knows for sure. I wouldnt want to work for PSE now and I have to wonder if other execs and even rank and file workers would have second thoughts about hiring on in the future Optics aren't good with the significance of the quantity and quality of jobs lost esp with a pandemic.
  11. am brushing-up on running back from Dane Brugler Beast production.... in the 4th round I like the value of a backup I like Dillon from BC as a big back, a North-South tween the tackles punisher-fullback or Kelley from UCLA for his toughness and under-rated pass- catching abiliities
  12. yeah a bunch of us are planning a road trip to Vegas upcoming season, expecting a lot of Bills fans to make the pilgrimage and check out the ice cream parlors, bingo halls and churches
  13. your point is well taken that the position has become more a punt catcher than returner
  14. warning this may induce vomiting: Walt Patulski - first pick of entire draft - at least he got traded for a #2 which turned out to be Joe Delvin who played well for us for years more 70s misses Phil Dokes - the Nebraska twins (LBs Rudd and Nelson) Tom Cousineau - never signed - went to CFL and Browns after crapping big-time on Buffalo Rueben Gant - as in can't - TE 80s whiffs Booker Moore - Guillen barre disease Tony Hunter - TE from ND taken before Jim Kelly Perry Tuttle - beware WRs from Clemson 90s super bowl misfit Darryl Williams (and his flame ######ant jersey) 20th century busts Erik Flowers - John Butler reach Aaron Maybin JP Losman - not just a number 1 but we traded more pick Leo McKelvin (first cb taken in the entire draft) Torrell Troupe (2nd rounder taken right before Gronk)
  15. high expectations qb is the highest paid position in the game so there is concern about the looming extension in 1-2 years Is Josh a later bloomer can he get better with accuracy and pocket presence and avoid stupid negative plays, picks, fumbles, etc if we dont get it right with him yeah we are kinda screwed like any other team i think he is doing his part, the OL is solidifying, we have improved the WR positions over the past two seasons, the schemes-plays-coaching is refining as well, I am sure the game is slowing down for him esp against good defenses and schemes hoping for the best, but as some point a decision will be made and expect this place to have a mushroom cloud over it
  16. yep, its the annual pre-draft ritual where I am going to fall in love with one prospect which makes watching the draft all that more interesting when its personal
  17. good point about paying 2 LBs, Edmunds is a must and ttwo LBs at 25M per season is very steep that alone makes the decision for me
  18. Diggs, Brown, Beasley maybe the best trio since the 90s ? Name a better trio between now and then ? Then give Josh some better protection and better schemes-calls (no fly patterns for fullbacks come to mind for some off reason) Add some accuracy, maturity, touch from Josh and Diggs could be our first all-pro WR since ? Moulds, Lee Evans, Price ?
  19. I think we will add a vet running back at some point as I do like Lamar Miller as he is coming off ACL tear last Aug and also D Freeman and Carlos Hyde is also out there...the price drops as the days go by I assume...
  20. its always the darkest before the dawn... my girlfriend is a dementia patient nurse with dozens of elderly who cannot care for themselves and would be prime victims of this virus if exposed and so far so good...she is so stressed at work and comes home so tired and worried about the staff and patients. doing my part; distancing, washing of the hands, donating to some charities, ..dipping into savings, being anti-social when I go out for groceries and drive-thru once a week, buying some stuff online not much but some...reading and praying and hoping, Bills news and the athletic pp help out, The Athletic now offers a 90 day free subscription is now avail , well worth it, Joe Posnanski is writing an incredible series on the top 100 players of all time and on his favotire players of all-time... Sirius radio is free for 45 days, or is 3.99 anyways well worth it anew Phish album came out this week...Sigma Oasis worth a listen if you are so inclined... HBONOW is offering free streaming service stating April 3 (Sat- tomorrow)..cant get me enough Sopranos..RIP James G... A friend...umh..says free porn at XVIDOES if you are so inclined...am not sure how to define porn but I know what it is when I see it,, hoping this all ends soon and we all come roaring back sooner rather than later and wiser best to you and yours
  21. Last month BB stood out in the rain to watch an on-campus workout at a small school in Tenn...his dad was a coach, he is coach, thats who he is and I dont think he cares much about other things other than listening to Bon Jovi while he works...looking forward to making him more miserable until he retires at age 89....
  22. its like asking a girl to dance or to go out; if she doesn't say yes and doesn't want to hurt your feelings you need to know that and move on, and I think we got the better looking one; just hope he is not high maint….☢️
  23. Oliver is ascending and so was horrible Harry last season'; Harrison Philips was getting pentetrations as well before the ACL injury early season against CIncy...the DT metrics show our new acquisition Quinton Jefferson as have the #4 DT win rate for sacks-pressures per ESPN, but that was going against single team blocking not double; but still am psyched to see all this talent and depth so should be better against the run and Addison should be better off the edge than Shaq was else they wouldn't have gone in that direction
