  1. You don’t want Terry Pegula running this. Look at the Sabres and be happy that Beane is here.
  2. Do you think OJ will be excluded from the wall of fame in the new stadium? I do.
  3. I would think not. It is just too awkward.
  4. How? She didn’t lose her job despite her screw up by saying that on a hot mike.
  5. Yes. Those memories are fresh. I’ll take Allen over Diggs any day. Losing Diggs is addition by subtraction.
  6. You keep repeating this terrible take. Diggs is not, and never was ,the heart and soul of anything. He wanted out. He is a selfish problem child. McDermott is worth far more to the Bills and has done more to establish the Bills as a legitimate powerhouse than Diggs has. I wish we got more in return. It says a lot about how Diggs is perceived in the NFL. He is not a deep threat and he disappeared last season.
  7. We should bring their punter in for a look. He was great in the playoffs and SB.
  8. I wish him well, just nit against Buffalo. Pretty sharp guy, young, and still learning.
  9. Very negative comments on Poyer/Hyde, two great players. Sure, their time is coming to an end but you can’t just dismiss them as old and slow. It will not to be easy for younger and faster players to replace everything they bring.
  10. We really need speed at WR. I think a prime pick has to go WR to complement Diggs, especially with Davis likely gone. Once Diggs goes this pick could hopefully fill the void.
  11. Booth Lustig, a kicker from the 60’s, got his ass kicked after a game, outside the rock pile, by Bills fans when he missed a big kick. Paul McGuire tells the story.
  12. They must hold a legitimate competition and bring a serious kicking prospect into camp to push Bass. He might be shot. Mentally shot. Push him to be better.
  13. The Bills avenged the 1966 AFL championship by beating KC 30-13 in the AFC championship game on 1/23/1994. This would avenge the 2021 AFC Championship game loss in KC, and the loss in KC the following season (13 seconds) .. This is not the last hurdle. There are two more rivers to cross after this one.
  14. The Marv/Kelly era Bills did this at home several times in bad weather with good results.
  15. Long season, rookies often have trouble playing this many games. He also faced some real good competition to. Stick with him at this point.
  16. Yes. He is very close to #10. The stats I provided in another post show that he is. If we only go by yards/stats then in 20 more years the top 10 will all be players that played from 2005 and on. Is that really the top 10? Stevie has more 1000 yards seasons than Paul Warfield (he only had 1), while Stevie had 3 in a row with Fitz. Who was the better player? Is it even a conversation? That is why I look beyond the stats. It is getting impossible to compare WRs from other eras. The game is different now.
  17. What you first wrote to me was actually devoid of any facts or data. I responded with data to back up my opinion and I actually provided more support for your assertion than you did. First you come up with "best route runner in the NFL", and now you say to forget that. I don't have to forget it, because it is not true, and it was never true, even if one guy said it one time. You found an article that says he is better than most people think. I agree with that, he is better than most people think. Because most people outside of Buffalo don't think much of him. But in his era he was an average WR. He was also inconsistent and he dropped passes, some at very critical times. You said he played with awful QBs. Not quite true. Stevie played with a a pretty good passing QB in Fitz. Fitz is the Bills 5th all time passer, and 3rd best in passing yards per game. He went on to play many years in the NFL, long after Stevie faded away. Like it or not, after Allen, Kelly, Ferguson and Kemp, Fitz is the best of the remaining lot that includes Flutie, Bledsoe, and Taylor. So your QB argument is invalid. Lots of Bills WRs played with bad QBs at certain points in their careers. You have to look at the data and the era. That is how I drop Stevie to 12-15. He was good, but more like a good #2. So yes, he is 9th in catches, 10th in yards, 8th in TDs and he played from 2008 to 2013 (when teams threw much more than any prior area) - statistically he cracks the top ten. Then you look at players below him and you factor in the era, their time as a Bill, the number of seasons, and their impacts to the team at that time. I see better players with lesser stats. Factoring in everything, in my opinion he is at best 12. If you don't agree that is fine. I realize that maybe you, and a lot of fans here, never saw some of these other Bills players. Again, I am giving you my opinion and I used the data and facts available while assessing players within their era to get to this opinion. Perhaps in the future you can disagree without the wise cracks, patronizing comments, and insults.
