Bill from NYC

Derrick is a tremendous player and would become a fan favorite in about 15 seconds. He is also a great kid. When he was at the draft combines he took time out to visit terminally ill children in a hospital. Derrick is probably the most punishing player in football today. I watched every down of his college career and I know all about this kid. He doesn't have THE quickest start but the Bills have a strong OL. After he gets a few steps I have seen players not try all that hard to tackle him. His stiff arm is reminiscent to that of Earl Campbell or even Jim Brown. He is a perfect fit for this team. With Derrick and one of these great wide receivers coming out in the 2020 draft, the Bills would be a Super Bowl contender, if not favorite. Just my long overdue opinion.

In the 20 plus years I have been on this board, we have blamed the offensive woes (which were a virtual constant) on the "scheme." This included times when there was no blocking, and/or a terrible quarterback. At this point we have dramatically improved. Allen has all the potential in the world and the OL is good. That said, the team needs at least 1 receiver and a big power back. The Bills have every opportunity to be great and they are already very good. Brady has thrived with only decent receivers, (but probably will not for much, if any longer). Allen, at least at this stage of his career, needs better wideouts and there will be an abundance of them in the 2020 draft. Bottom line? Daboll is not the problem imo. He is a good football man.

And it just a box of rain, I don't know who put it there. Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare. And its, just a box of rain, or a ribbon for your hair. Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time, to be there.

In December, I stayed a week at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center in Denver. Is that where you will be?

Brown eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean, Sound of the thunder with the rain coming down, And it looks like the old mans, getting on.

May God grant you a full and speedy recovery.

Right outside this, lazy summer home. You ain't got time to call your, soul a critic no. Right outside the lazy gate, of winter's summer home, Wondering where the nut-thatchers winters, Wings a mile long, Will carry, the blues, away.

When you dance do your senses tingle then take a chance? In a trance, while the lonely mingle with circumstance? I got something to tell you, you made it show Let me come over, I know you know When you dance, ooh ooh, I can really love

Summertime, and the livin's easyBradley's on the microphone with Ras M.G.All people in the dance will agree That we're well-qualified to represent the L.B.C.And me and Louie, we gon' run to the partyDance to the rhythm, it gets harder(And we can do it like this, in the place to be)

I am probably the biggest fan of Tua on this board. Trent Dilfer called him the smartest QB who ever came to his camp. The kid is extremely accurate and can make every throw. I sincerely doubt that he will ever get in trouble. Just an absolute great person and player. That said, the Bills should not select him in the first round. I am still of the opinion that our receiving corps is not so threatening. I cannot say enough how many top receivers are coming out in 2020. Tall receivers, absolute speedsters, guys with great hands.....everybody. Josh Allen needs weapons and he has the arm to reach any of these kids. For the first time in more years than I can remember, I am hoping for a 1st Round wide receiver. It feels strange to even type this.

I grew up in a large neighborhood in Queens, NY. In the entire community, I only knew of 3 or 4 kids whose parents were divorced. Today, divorced parents are more common than married couples. This article seemed to reference "Donna Reed Show" or "Father Known Best (imaginary) families. In SOME cases, if parents showed more concern for their children and less self indulgence, perhaps the kids (if not the entire family) would be better off. In any case, I for one believe the old adage "you can only be as happy as your saddest child." At least it applies to me.

Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn and the morning paper flies. Dead man lying by the side of the road with the daylight in his eyes. Don't let it bring you down, It's only castles burning. Find someone who's turning, And you will come around. What a GREAT album!

Saban saved his career. He has no reason to hate him other than being an messed up individual. I don't know THAT much about Kiffin. I do know that his ex-wife was a super 10 and they had little daughters. When he got caught cheating she tossed him and took his cash. Saban likes reclamation projects like Kiffin, Sark, and others. He does well with them. Wrt Cochrane, he is a great asset to the Crimson Tide but I really do suspect that Saban has a replacement lined up because he is probably one of the most organized people on Earth. Thanks for the link.

I was searchin' (searchin") on a one way street, I was hopin' (hopin') for a chance to meet, I was waiting for the operator on the line. (She's gone so long) What can I do? (Where could she be) no no no, Don't know what I'm gonna do, I gotta get back to you!

Take a little trip, take a little trip, Take a little trip and see. Take a little trip, take a little trip, Take a little trip with me.

Lotta poor man make a five dollar bill, keep him happy all the time. Some other fellow's making nothing at all, and you can here him cry..... Can I go buddy? Can I go down, Take your shift at the mine? Gotta get down to the Cumberland mine, Gotta get down to the Cumberland mine. That's where I mainly spend my time.

I have mixed emotions on this. I mean you are probably right, but I think that we are currently in a class with any team in the league. Imo, no team completely outclasses the Buffalo Bills. Couple this with a young and improving Josh Allen, and we have a chance. That said, the 2020 draft was tailor made for the Buffalo Bills. I often wonder if Beane saw and planned for the glut of top quality receivers that will be out there in April (which I think is CLEARLY our #1 need). Sorry, but I am unaccustomed to highly skilled Bills leadership. So yes, it's a longshot, but imo the Bills still have a chance to go all the way, even this year. Next year, if they play the offseason right and stay fairly healthy, I think that they can win it all and will be one of the favorites to do so.

You are still so wrong about this 33. The Tide fell short this year and just didn't deserve a playoff spot. Next year will also be rough imo. Their schedule is insane but with Coach Saban a chance always seems to remain.

I'm sorry.....I didn't understand the joke.

Good post! I too think that 4 teams is enough, unless they cancel the conference championship games. I don't think its fair to ask the kids to play more games and risk their health/future.

At least when Coach Saban retires he will not be laying on the floor "trying to cry" like that great champion of women's safety, Weeping Urban Meyer Good luck against Clemson!

There looks to be an unheard of number of blue chip wide outs in the 2020 draft like nothing I have ever seen before. This will be the perfect situation for a team like the Bills who need at least one wide receiver. One couldn't ask for a better class.

Sark is a very skilled, smart and confident coach. He is perfect for Saban, who as we know doesn't hesitate to override decisions by assistants when he deems fit to do so. I agree with all that you say about Golding. I just feel like he will only improve as he continues to learn Saban's complicated system. The biggest issue they now face (imo of course) is at NT. The last 4 or 5 players we had at that position were great. I cannot stress enough the importance of this position in this defense. Now, Baremore looks like a budding superstar and could probably do it, but it sure is nice having him rush from more on the outside. I am 100% certain that Saban will go all out on the DL next season. He has to.

Call me crazy but I predict an upset. Georgia is tough enough to beat people up on defense. Alabama just wasn't this year, too many losses due to injury. Kirby knows what to do against LSU, no?
