Bill from NYC

Life's too short to make a mistake Let's think of each other and hesitate Young and impatient we may be There's no need to act foolishly If we part, our hearts won't forget it Years from now we'll surely regret it Give me just a little more time And our love will surely grow Give me just a little more time And our love will surely grow

Why? Because you disagree with what he said? I'm wondering if you think that those in attendance are entitled to not agree with you, or any other specific dogma with which you concur. I personally don't care what he thinks or says. Would I want him as the speaker at my daughter's graduation? No. When my daughter graduated the speaker was Elie Wiesel. His speech was moving and wonderful. Would he be OK with you? It seems as if today, many wouldn't appreciate him. I wonder why.

Why do you even care how many agree with him? I certainly don't care. And why are you looking to start bitter arguments? Can't you do this on PPP? Maybe you should go lose another arguement with @BADOLBILZ. You are about 0 for 100. If I could get odds on these matchups I would be a multi-millionaire.

Are political posts suddenly allowed on TSW?

Two things.... 1) Now that weed is legal, I can actually smell it in my car while driving with the windows closed and the air conditioner on, this even on a parkway. This is not once in a while either. It happens all the time. 2) Bicyclists who purposely drive in the middle of busy streets. It's as if they are trying to prove some political point. They can easily ride their bikes on roads without jamming up traffic, or for that matter risking getting themselves seriously hurt or killed.

Is Santora's the place right near the entrance to SUNY Buffalo? There used to be a pub right near it that I thought was great but they closed. Either way, the pizza place I am talking about was surprisingly good.

All the times that I've cried Keeping all the things I knew inside It's hard But it's harder to ignore it If they were right, I'd agree But it's them they know, not me Now there's a way And I know that I have to go away I know, I have to go

Goff got 170 mil. in guaranteed cash over 4 years. If Josh was getting a new 4 year contract now, he would get well 200 million guaranteed. My guess would be 250 mil. or very close to it. Jmo.

Maybe he will go to a school that is hard.

Said I hope that we get the promise, ladies And make me get off Take it from girls with our imagination So we can get off Call me up at your place, I can love you crazy In the heat you will understand Danger and excitement, that's what makes a lady Find out what she wants in a man To get off, to get off, to get off, to get off To get off, to get off, to get off, to get, get off

Going to plant a weeping willow On the banks green edge it will grow, grow, grow Sing a lullaby beside the water Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll Fare you well, fare you well I love you more than words can tell Listen to the river sing sweet songs To rock my soul

Very sad news. I hope that he did not suffer. RIP Mr. Smith.

We are lucky that Whaley and Rex didn't draft him, although they did use their 2015 1st pick (2nd round #18) on an outstanding corner....Ronald Darby, who had quite the stellar career. In 2014, Whaley traded away two first round picks to move from 9th to 4th in order to draft Sammy Watkins, while the quarterbacks were Tyrod Taylor, Matt Cassell, and EJ Manuel. Oh and just to be nice, Whaley threw in a 4th rounder as well. Young Bills Fans will hopefully never have to suffer as hard and as long as we older fans did.

So true. I remember Parcells saying that the reason he drafted Kevin Mawae was Ted Washington. Ted was a flat out GREAT player.

I pulled in to Nazareth Was feeling 'bout half past dead I just need someplace Where I can lay my head "Hey, mister, can you tell me Where a man might find a bed?" He just grinned and shook my hand "No" was all he said Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And (And, and) You put the load right on me (You put the load right on me)

Matt, I do get your point. But what (at least imo) HAS to be factored in was that we needed a quarterback desperately. We had been seriously lacking at that position since Kelly retired, unless you want to count Bledsoe for one half season. You saw the list above of the QBs on our roster in 2017. We needed a QB far more than a cornerback. People can make the case that other teams passed on Mahomes and this is true. Still, it was up to a well paid McDermott to recognize Mahomes' talent. Some of the posters on this board were furious. In subsequent drafts, McDermott continued to go after defensive players with early picks, twice even trading up in round one for them, and also drafting a DT at #9. Again, I am more than happy with Josh Allen. He is one of my all time favorite players but this isn't the point that I'm tryimg to make. I am simply making the case that this was an ill advised trade.

Here is what seems to be the most accepted formula. Google it and see for yourself how often this formula comes up. https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2014/5/8/5683486/nfl-draft-trade-value-chart This chart doesn't list the value of the following year's picks but it does list the Bills #10 at 1,300 for a return of 786 (for picks 27 and 91). Even if the 2018 pick closed the gap somewhat, does the fact that the Bills were in desperate need for a quarterback escape you? The following is the 2017 Bills roster. It lists 3 QBs: 1) Tyrod Taylor 2) Nate Peterman 3) Joe Webb https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2017_roster.htm Does this appear to you to be a team that needed a cornerback more than a quarterback? If so, please help me understand your conclusion. Do ya think that KC Fans dislike ther fact that McDermott handed them a certain HOF QB, one of the best ever? Really, try to be serious. You may see those of us who think this was an almost indescribably stupid deal as being "nonsensical. Frankly I find this comment to be rude and presumptous but that's just me. Am I happy with Josh? Very happy!!!! We are extremely lucky that he fell to us, unless of course you think that McDermott planned this at the time of the trade. In any case, welcome to TSW.

Everybody's talkin' at me I don't hear a word they're sayin' Only the echoes of my mind People stoppin', starin' I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin' Through the pourin' rain Goin' where the weather suits my clothes Bankin' off of the northeast winds Sailin' on summer breeze And skippin' over the ocean like a stone

He can't. By now he is probably waving his pom poms, wearing an unusual outfit. What would the equation be on McDermott's trade of the #10 pick (Mahomes) to KC?

John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy just to leave the folk music behind Zal and Denny workin' for a penny tryin' to get a fish on the line In a coffee house Sebastian sat and after every number they passed the hat McGuinn and McGuire just are gettin' higher in L.A. you know where that's at And no one's getting fat except Mama Cass

Take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship, When my hands can't feel to grip, and my toes too numb to step, Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering. I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for today, Untill my own parade cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it.

Lilac rain, unbroken chain Song of the saw-whet owl Out on the mountain, it'll drive you insane Listening to the winds howl Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls Unbroken chain of sky and sea Unbroken chain of the western wind Unbroken chain of you and me

100% true. What should we as fans and posters on TSW do? A) Whenever the Bills do someting, strenuously agree. Here, I'll try.....Donte Whitner was a great pick because the Bills scouts know more than me. Does that work? B) Maybe we should never post at all because our opinions are invalid. Why? Because McDermott/Beane are great beyond question. I'll try again.....It was smart for McDermott to trade the Mahomes pick for a low return and draft a corner instead of one of the greatest QBs of all time. This is a message boards. Message boards are made to share opinions and interact with other fans, not to be altars of blind worship.

I don't want to straight-face you Race or chase you, track or trace you Or disgrace you or displace you Or define you or confine you All I really want to do Is, baby, be friends with you

Spiller was pure garbage. Just another ill advised draft pick. He had a few good games but he couldn't block, was not a good receiver, and he barely knew what direction to run.
