  1. No. Harmon dropped it because he dropped it. Then he refused to be accountable. He was a moody guy. Even though he had good years after Buffalo we were better of with Thurman and Kenny Davis.
  2. Chris Burkett and Ronnie Harmon did not fit into the the family atmosphere that was developing. They were moody and brooding types. Harmon refuse to be accountable for his drop. Burkett and Kelly had issues. Neither was a traitor but they did not fit the culture that was developing. Not every player that leaves is a traitor, football is a business. Thurman,Bruce, Biscuit, are not traders .... these comments are ridiculous.
  3. Smerlas is at the top of any list. Mostly for his actions and comments after he left. I wish he was not on the wall and I disagree with the revisionist history on him ... Jeff wright was the better player when Fred was let go. The problem he had was no one else in he rotation to spell him. Marrone, Cousineau, and Gary Anderson are also top tier traitors.
  4. While I agree with the OL being a huge question our trio of McCoy, Benjamin, and Clay is decent if healthy. Depth is an issue at all positions. The biggest question mark is QB. With Taylor gone the whole offense is an unknown. Because of of all of these issues it may take several weeks of real games to get the offense going. My expectations for the first 5 weeks are not high.
  5. My bad, Castillo is still the OL coach. I meant to say new Offensive Coordinator who is bring in a new system. This could help John Miller re-gain a spot over Ducasse.
  6. You play your best lineup. If Groy wins the job he starts, no matter if he is a the more versatile backup. Bodine was brought it to push Groy, and maybe Bodine starts and Groy gets a Guard spot? Last year was a bit curious as most fans thought Vlad DuCasse was bad but Groy never got a shot at replacing him. With a new OL coach and new scheme maybe John Miller can reclaim the RG spot and get his career going again. The LG spot is a bigger worry. RI will be tough to replace. No matter how I look at this the interior 3 is unproven and with questionable talent.
  7. Fun video. Chefs is always a great experience and the food is consistently very good. I
  8. I wonder what Bob McAdoo thinks?
  9. This is a really dumb post. I’m betting you never spent time in a Scandinavian country because that wold kill your cold weather and fit women theory. I lived in Baltimore and I spend a lot of time in DC. Neither has more “hot chicks” per capita than anywhere else I’ve been. I will give you one point, some warm climates in the USA have more fit people than cold ones. This applies to both men and women and has more to due with lifestyle and an obiesity problem in the USA.
  10. Bennett is worthy of HOF discussion. Had the Bills won a few SB’s and he made a few big plays in those games his stats would be good enough. They didn’t and he didn’t. Bennett had HOF talent but will end up in the Hall of Very Good. Should make Bill’s Wall someday.
  11. 6-3 home loss to Cleveland by far. My kid took two days off from school and we flew to Buffalo for a long weekend to watch that mess. I felt ripped off, cheated, and wanted my money back. No entertainment value at all.
  12. This kid gets it. Beane said Allen “is Buffalo”, I think he is quite perceptive. I am really pulling for Allen to develop into our next great QB.
  13. Byrd is not even on the Wall of Fame and he makes this list? I love Byrd but Billy Shaw is a must. There are lots of players equal to Stratton and Smerlas.
  14. Anytime you lose two players like Eric and Ritchie you are going to step back a bit, for awhile. The question is for how how long? Can Groy eventually play at Woods level? How is much can we get out of Miller and Vlad until we can draft a solid starter? Can Dawkins have another solid year at LT? Is there emerging talent at OT and OG already on the roster? Lots of questions. Makes me think McBeane will need another off season to really bolster the OL.
  15. I think the defense will be better this year but lets not forget that really good defense requires good offense too. It is hard to play great defense if you are on the field all the time and in bad field position. We need the offense to generate first downs, control the cloak, and score some points.
  16. I think Schwartz would have done better than Rex but I am happy we ended up with McDermott/Beane.
  17. ^ Unfortunately this is true. Our revamped OL and an unproven QB will be tested. We need big years from Clay and Benjamin and whoever else we have at WR, they need to get open and hold on to the ball.
  18. Seems odd to not show up for a crowning achievement such as this but not surprising given his outspoken nature. His numbers definitely back his entry into the HOF but WR numbers are escalating as the game continues to evolve into a passing game. There are players with less stats that I liked better. I understand why he was not a first ballot entry. If Thurman Thomas was not a first year entry then no way is Owens.
  19. Bills fans really did a great thing. https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/01/11/buffalo-bills-fans-andy-dalton-foundation-donations
  20. I picked up a hat (not a fedora) in Niagara last summer. Getting pretty thin up top and it looks cool ?. Me. I have four in my rotation. Better than pulling the phone out all the time. Unless your already doing that.
  21. According to the way back machine 47 year and 9 months ago puts me in Oct of 1970. It puts me in 7th grade in those nutty junior high years. Seventh grade at Herbert Hoover Jr High in Town of Tonawanda. Could have been watching the first year of the Sabres in the Aud? Could have been watching the Buffalo Braves first NBA season? Could have been watching another hopeless Bills team?
  22. Mike Stratton - “The Hit” - 1964 AFL Championship Game. After that play we literally beat the living crap out of the Chargers.
  23. Ah yes, plugs, points, rotor, distributor cap and wires. The reliability and performance of today’s cars are fantastic but they looked cool in the 60s. Yes to both. Who are you?
  24. Hey don’t forget we had it harder AND the world was better too. My 3 millennial kids like that part of the story. Gotto go now and change the spark plugs in my Chevy, mow the lawn in a new direction, put a washer in my faucet, listen to some records, and catch the Gillian’s Island reruns.
