Bill from NYC

I know how you feel because the same thing occurred to me last week against the Jets. I felt that we always had a chance this week and last. To be honest it was a confusing (but pleasant) state of mind. This is a team with a long way to go imo but their easy schedule, the unlimited potential of Allen, and several other factors point to the real possibility of success in the playoffs.

Oh I didn't say it was a smart move.

Call me crazy but I think that a billionaire getting a "rub" in a massage parlor might be a bit more safe than sex with a heroin shooting prostitute.

Jmo but nothing to see here. The oldest current Bill is Gore, right? He is 36 with pockets full of money. How many of us believe that he would spend it on a 49 year old heroin using grand mother? Now, do ya think that young players like Josh Allen are going for it LOL? I hope that the prosecutor is successful in putting a pimp in jail, but my guess is that any Bills involvement (if it happened) was decades ago.

Not so sure of the above. Toss Davonta Smith into the mix imo.

Interesting post.

This is an amazing story because sadly, things almost never work out this way. I am really in his corner and pray that he continues on the right path.

Yeah, unless Gore gets much better I would rather see Yeldon in there. TJ can also catch the football pretty well.

Actually yes.

Care to explain?

It was only 1 game but imo, Morse looked better at center than anybody I have seen play for the Bills in many, many years.

Wow, great to see you here! I hope all is well!!! OK with me.

Hey, GREAT to hear from you Brother! Did you like Cody Ford coming out of Oklahoma? Others balked at this selection but I happened to like it (surprised?). I think that his development will mean a great deal to this team.

They will have every opportunity to build a great team but we have seen teams with a similar opportunity not do so well. Thanks for the link!

Do we know many picks do they have in 2020? I expect it to be the best draft in years.

I think that you answered your own question.

It really is painful.

True and they would be WAY better off getting rid of this person and tanking this season. They aren't going to win much under any conditions. They would be better off without him and gaining draft picks and cap space.

I have been called a lot worse and would tend to not care, but it was absolutely meant as a racial slur. Imo this is the issue, not how much it would bother me being called a name. If it can be proven (witnesses, etc.) that he did use a racial slur and threaten violence, my guess is that this has happened before in the NFL, and I can think of no reason why AB should be punished more or less than other offenders. I'm not sure how anybody could feel any different.

Davonta Smith imo, is shockingly good. He does not have blinding speed but he is consistently open and makes catches while completely horizontal. Alabama defenders who practiced against him every day were talking about his skills BEFORE the winning catch against Georgia in the 2018 title game as a freshman. Coming into that game he only had 7 receptions. He was hurt part of last season but was a major contributor when he returned. Remember who he plays for and with. It isn't easy to put up gaudy numbers when you are playing opposite, Jeudy, Ruggs, and sophomore Jaylen Waddle who is also a GREAT receiver, and; Saban makes sure his RBs get plenty of carries. He even seems to want the team to run more this year, not less. If this kid stays healthy and was drafted by the Bills I think each and every fan would be thrilled by his play week after week, but of course I am not a scout. Jmo.

The pick we used was in return for Jason Peters, the best blocker in the history of the Bills. I think that we are safe in saying that Wood for Peters was a horrible trade.

I disagree with the above. I always viewed Wood as a good but not all that great center. I also think that he was overpaid but I can't blame the Bills for doing so considering the lack of resources they dedicated to the OL. The trade that brought him here explains it all.

Oh yeah.....but Jalen Waddle is only a sophomore. If healthy, he too will be a bona fide superstar. He is actually faster than Jeudy. Henry Ruggs is faster than all of them (by a step.....he and Waddle had a race) and could possibly the fastest kid in the NCAA. Do watch Davonta Smith (#6). He will probably be the "sleeper" of the group. The kid is going to be a smashing success in the NFL imo if he can stay healthy.

Interesting idea. I wonder if this would even change the way some coaches approach the games. If Ralph was the owner, I really don't think he would risk paying out the extra money.

That would not surprise me. Others disagree but I think it was a very stupid trade under the circumstances.
