Well, HFBD , junior. j/k sorry to hear about your surgery. Hope we all grow old together and reminisce about the multiple superbowl victories this team will bring us. Didn't the dates get reset when this board was upgraded by SDS? I think I joined around the beginning in 1998.

Why New England Sucks -latest episode.😉
Fan in Chicago replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
I know that's not the topic of this post but that Hyde interception still amazes me even though I have seen it like 10 times. One of the best defensive plays of the past season -
Dwayne Haskins killed [Edit: struck by vehicle]
Fan in Chicago replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was with a colleague few years back in NOLA. He had been working for this customer for 3 days before I joined him for the next 2. Car ran out of gas on the highway. I asked him to put it in neutral as there was an exit close by. I kid you not, we got to the exit, rolled down the exit , made a right turn and into a gas station before it stopped. I asked him the same question - did you not see the warning light and alarm. His answer was "I did, thought I would take care of it later and forgot about it". So while I don't know how Haskins handled it, there are people who can tune out alarms even if they are literally flashing in front of them -
Gunner's 2022 Draft Quarterback Evaluations
Fan in Chicago replied to GunnerBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Stellar work as always. You do not have a single QB with a 1st round grade but in another thread you noted that QBs do get over-drafted (not your words) and that is okay. Given your analysis can you make a prediction on the order of where they will be picked and will they all be picked in the 1st round? -
Tre should absolutely not be rushed back, I am sure the staff won't. With the very good DL as it stands now, the pressure on the defensive backfield should be less than for teams with weak front 4s. Also, the O can be expected to score lot of points. Finally, Dane Jackson seems to have held his own last season. So, we don't have to panic if Tre is not ready for game 1. Depending on how the draft falls, a vet can be added post-draft and we should be fine. The only question will be which of the vets we will add (and that depends on the skill set and readiness level of the rookie)

Spending a lower round pick to lock up one position group for a long time, is worth it imo. While the Bills don't and shouldn't intend to punt a lot or have to depend on a good punt, I worry about a killer mistake in a critical game. I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling when Haack punts. Good use of a 5th or lower

I might be an outlier here...... Draft needs
Fan in Chicago replied to Yantha's topic in The Stadium Wall
Just because people, including me, are disagreeing with you doesn't mean we are not being nice. Imo, you are off on your take except for beefing up the OL early in the draft. As an example, Speed at WR is a very clear need -
Bills have almost $10 million in cap space available
Fan in Chicago replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall
Imo, with Rousseau, Miller, Basham and Lawson around, AJE is the odd one out. If any team is willing to pay something for him, it is a chip Beane can use to move up in one of the draft rounds. If this happens and the staff is not sold on Basham, then Hughes can be offered a cheap deal to ensure there is competition in TC. AJE should be on the bubble -
What would this message achieve between now and the draft? By the time TC starts, the RB room will be set. The message will be sent post-draft if an RB is actually selected in the early rounds.

Are boneless wings with ranch the best game day dish?
Fan in Chicago replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall
Here is my own recipe for your chips: 8 oz of cream cheese 1 jar of hot salsa 4-6 tsp chopped cilantro 1 cup finely chopped scallions (Optional) 1 large medium heat jalapeno Mix well -
Am I the only one who hasn't completely given up on Zack Moss?
Fan in Chicago replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall
IMO, this is his make-or-break year. In a slight parallel, I had given up on Knox at this time last year but he did have a very good 2021. Similarly, I am hoping Moss also plays better. Two things though - the OL still needs upgrade and I am hoping Beane is not done yet. Saffold is better at run blocking but we need an upgrade at RT. Secondly, Moss doesnt look like he can be the feature back in case of a Singletary injury. So we still need a Plan B for the overall RB room. -

Fan in Chicago replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
So..... We have room to make a vet move or two ahead of the draft. Cool! -

Similar to losing your virginity, the first goal is to get past it any which way you can 😁 -
Diggs Extended 4 more years breaking news per WGR 550
Fan in Chicago replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree with most of this but I doubt the number of targets will go up due to the addition of Howard, Allen starting to throw to Singletary, (hopefully) emergence of Davis and (presumably) the addition of a fast rookie. We should be comfortable with the fact that we won't ever have a "top 5" TE as defined by yards and TDs. And in a balanced offense with gobs of receiving talent, that is perfectly fine. -

Fantastic news. Imho, this doesn't change our draft strategy. To echo many others in this thread - where the heck is this money appearing from? (not that I care, just being curious) -
Whaley interviewing for Steelers GM
Fan in Chicago replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Welcome back. You were missed. Truth be told, you were called for earlier but the phone was off the hook -
That has less credence than a rumor - it's just a "proposal" . Anyone can create one and it means nothing until there is at least some basis to it.
