  1. Yep. He even had a slight smirk as if he knew how easy it was going to be. I learned MANY years ago that in life, you often just don't know who you are f%$#*&g around with.
  2. This is what we had to deal with but I must also say that they were good times. Our tailgate parties were great! Even through the suffering we had plenty of fun and laughs. Btw was that the year that we signed Derrick Dockery and Langston Walker? 😲😮😄
  3. I would have to say that Lonnie was even worse than Robert Royal who dropped almost everything he touched. After Pete Metzalaars, the Bills were consistently weak at the TE position. I will never forget when we were having a pregame beer at RWS. We were talking about the Bills and I mentioned that as bad as he was, Royal seemed to be good at getting open. You replied that he was in fact not good at getting open, and that his hands were just so bad that other teams stopped covering him. To be perfectly honest, I didn't believe you and thought it impossible for an NFL TE to not be covered. Yeah well then I went up to my seats. They were up high around the 40 where I could see virtually everything, and sure enough; Royal was runniung patterns all by himself lol. My crew were cracking up saying, "Badol was right!" Not only that, he seemed fast but it looked like his arms and legs were not in synch, and just flopping around. To this day I can't believe what I saw. This was an NFL player who we signed as a free agent. I think that he even played at LSU!!! Have you ever seen any other revceiver that defenses didn't even bother to cover?
  4. Morse is a good player and does not deserve to be a "whipping boy." He also has serious health issues and as you point out, a large contract. If I was the GM, I would plan on and prepare for his departure. The position is that important. Jmo.
  5. Someone found a letter you wrote me on the radio And they told the world just how you felt It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat They never said your name But I knew just who they meant Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered, too If, by chance, you heard it for yourself I never told a soul just how I've been feeling over you But they said it really loud, they said it on the air On the radio
  6. Josh is great. He is easily a top 5 QB in this league and still improving. I was thrilled the day he was drafted and have been since. I am merely saying that having a good backup is a big asset to have, and very important imo. Once again, maybe they think Fromm is the answer at #2, and he might be!
  7. Slow down Slugger!!! 😄 The suggestion was in reference to Gunner's mock draft, and Mac falling into the VERY LATE second round. The Bills have a quarterback who likes to run, and is great at doing so. Running quarterbacks are taking a very large risk, but you already knew this. Or did you? If Josh ges hurt, wouldn't you want a solid backup? I don't know, maybe the coaches think that Fromm is capable. If not then yes, the Bills need a backup qb. Now, would I take one in round 1? No I would not.
  8. Hey pretty baby, let's go for a ride, Cruisin' the freeway, sittin' side by side, I don't care; you can bring your dog too, Cruisin' down the freeway is all I wanna do. Let's go cruisin', that's all I wanna to do, Cruisin' in my automobile. Yeah, Yeah! Hey yeah. Come on, Cruise with me baby, Know that it would be such a thrill, Cruisin' in my automobile, (Crusin')
  9. My response is that your screen name is just fantastic. In fact, I am placing it in my top 10 for this site.
  10. Lay me on the ground And fly me in the sky Show me where to look Tell me what will I find? What will I find? Yeah Yeah Yeah Whoa, Heaven let your light shine down Whoa, Heaven let your light shine down Whoa, Heaven let your light shine down Whoa, Heaven let your light shine down
  11. I know that you couldn't possibly be referring to me. 😮
  12. Gunner, I do NOT agree with the following link (I am sold on Lawrence), but I think that Mac Jones will go in the first round. That said, if the draft were to go like yours, I would want the Bills to trade up and draft Mac in round 2. It would only be a few spots and would probably cost little. We will be in lots of trouble if Josh gets hurt. The value of qbs is HUGE these days and we could get a huge return for Mac if he played well in just a few games. https://jaguarswire.usatoday.com/2021/02/19/former-nfl-coach-june-jones-has-mac-jones-ranked-over-trevor-lawrence/
  13. The time that GB had to have put into a post like this is not to be underestimated. To rank 64 players you have to study at least twice that many, or so I think. I agree with him in terms of the players that I spent hours watching except for 1, but GB probably has a better chance of being correct than I do .
  14. Thanks for the effort GB. I know that something like this takes time. There is too much work involved to just put this up in a few minutes. Posts like this are what makes this board great. That said, it certainly does follow the old time, depressing Bills mode. I liken it to 2008 when the Bills, in desperate need of blockers, drafted the great, gifted CB Leodis McKelvin at 11. Ryan Clady went at 12, and Brandon Albert went at 15, two pretty awesome blockers. In this mock, we take another first round corner and Alex Leatherwood (who I think might be the most underrated player in this draft) goes on the next pick. Somewhere, Marv Levy and Dick Jauron are smiling.
  15. You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in fields of gold
  16. I read almost exclusively non-fiction. The following book is one that I learned a great deal from, and I think it would be very hard not to gain from this book in some way: Tom, *****, Mulattoes, Mammies, and Bucks (Donald Bogle) The author is a UPenn professor, who has probably watched every single movie in which there was a black actor. In this book, Bogle points out the demeaning, stereotyped roles they played. He also pointed out the ridiculous premises of certain movies, for example Rocky ll." He tells us how Sidney Portier was virtually de-sexed, and describes how in "To Sir With Love," he was harassed, tormrnted, underpaid, and assaulted, yet he ripped up a job application so he could stay there and continue to help white students! The chapter on Mulattoes was fascinating. He correctly states that there were movies about "passing for white" as if this was a normal condition that many black people faced. The movie "Pinky" was mentined in the chapter. It starred Jean Crain. The premise was just as ridiculous (if not more) as Rocky ll. Times have clearly changed, but this book serves as an eye opener and a history lesson of sorts. It is now frequently used as a textbook which is good, but drove up the cost.
  17. I play the street life Because there's no place I can go Street life It's the only life I know Street life And there's a thousand cards to play Street life Until you play your life away
  18. Am I wrong or did he have giant sized holes that one could drive a truck through? I'm NOT saying that he can't play. Not at all but in the very limited videos I have seen of him there were giant lanes for him to run through. That said, I hope that he is drafted and has success in the NFL.
  19. In 2020, in the games against Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, he recorded 10 tackles, 11 assists, and .5 sacks. His team however allowed a combined 137 points in those 3 games. I'm not sure what to make (if anything) of these stats, and if I still had the LSU/Bama game on tape I would watch it to offer an opinion.
  20. So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way
  21. I am going to add 1 more..... Miller Forristall (TE): Miller is 6'4/240. He has had several injuries at Bama but you wouldn't know by the way he plays. The kid looks more like a young Robert Redford than a football player, but he runs head on into the biggest defenders on the field. He is a great blocker and he has very good hands. Although he didn't get many chances, I can't remember ever seeing him drop a pass, but maybe I just didn't notice. The thing is, he tended to be wide open, because look at who else had to be covered. That said, he would have got more chances on a lesser team to be certain. He WAS able to find the endzone at times. This is a player that the combines will make a difference with imo. I want to see lots of reps on the bench, and a half decent 40 time. Even at that, Miller is not a huge prospect. I have seen him going in the 5th, 6th, 7th, or not drafted at all. Do I think that he might be worth a 6th or 7th round pick? Yeah, why not.
