    2022 NFL Draft:

    Pick 21: 1st Team All-Pro CB Trent McDuffie
    Pick 22: Respectable LB - Quay Walker
    Pick 23: Kaiir Elam
    Pick 24: 2nd Team All-Pro OT Tyler Smith
    Pick 25: Two-time Pro-Bowl C Tyler Lindenbaum

    It takes skill to screw this up so badly.

    George Karlaftis was also there, but who needs Pro Bowl blockers and fine pass rushers when you have a chance to trade UP for a corner?

    That was definitely the strangest time in history that i ever lived through........to this day, i still can't make any sense of it.

    I fully agree. I would expand on it but it would get political and I don't want to piss off @Simon, and I swore off the Politics Board some time ago. :)

    Or Bosa has 5 sacks and it becomes a dribbler back to the mound for Beane. You know a fa acquisition is bad when you hear dozens of comments like "when healthy" or "it's only a 1 yr deal".

    I'm not so sure. Times have really changed. That deal is now considered cheap. Decades ago, when we signed the great Bryce Paup, iirc he got 3 years for 7.5 million. That was considered good money in those days. 

     

    This contract could  turn out to be a bargain of sorts. Let's hope! :)

  4. If it seems your friends desert you
    There's somebody thinking of you
    I'm the one who'll never hurt you
    Maybe that's because I love you

    Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
    Maybe it's late, but you call me
    Tell me, and I'll be around

  5. Not enough emphasis on defense. We should draft defensive backs with the first four picks at the very least, and trading away picks to our rivals should not be ruled out, as long as we can get secondary help. Trading up for dbs would be a great option.

     

    Also, why waste a 6th round pick on a receiver? There is zero reason to make life easier for Josh Allen.

    Like a one-eyed cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack
    A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle
    To a double-e waterfall over my back

  7. Blue's the colour of the sky-y,
    In the morning, when we rise,
    In the morning, when we rise.
    That's the time, that's the time,
    I love the best.

    Mellow is the feeling that I get,
    When I see her, m-hmm,
    When I see her, oh yeah.
    That's the time, that's the time,
    I love the best.
     

  8. Very smart move by a very smart GM.

     

    Barkley is on a team chock full of GREAT receivers, all of whom draw defenders away for the LOS. Barkley is such a sensenational back that he draws coverage away from the receiving corps. Now, add in the fact that they have the best OL in the NFL and you have a scoring machine, this with a very good, but non-superstar quarterback. The OL is SO good that on one 'tush push" play, OG Landon Dickerson pushed three yards beyond scrimage for an easy TD against the Chiefs.

     

    The deal is only for two years and most likely won't be renewed. Normally I would not like giving this kind of contract to a running back. In this case I can't find any fault in doing so.

    A bit of advice for those who might be pondering marriage.  Make sure you do your research about your potential partner, and also do a deep dive into her family history.  
     

    Mental health, medical, generational trauma, etc.  You’ll be living with much of these factors down the line.  Also, what does your potential mother in law look like?  Genetics are powerful, and that’s probably pretty close to what you’ll be looking at every day for as long as you remain married.  Petty?  Maybe so, but true.  😂 

    Wonderful advice. Sadly, most people do not know these truths.

  12. I don't mind when the time, sets the sun to the moon
    I just don't want to be lonely
    Let the stairs find you there, at the end of the room
    I just don't want to be lonely

     

    I'd rather be loved and needed
    Depended on to give a love I can't give
    When you're gone, when you're gone
    I just don't want to be lonely
    I'd just rather be loved

    As I remember, Dockery and Walker weren't even bad players, just nothing special. 

    Langston Walker was a bad RT. Dockery was flat out terrible. I remember once the Bills were playing in the mud. The players were filthy except Walker. His uniform looked like it was dry cleaned. Walker even had some sort of weird TV video he would do. 

     

    Dockery was much like Melvin Fowler. The both came in to a horrid Bills OL as free agents, and both looked  as if they could play, but they stunk up the field.

    Dawkins and brown are literally top five tackles lol

     

    There's not 6 left tackles with Dion Dawkins resume over the last 7 years

     

    And Spencer Brown is absolutely one of the best five great tackles in the world and only getting better 

     

    28 out of 32 teams would take our pair of tackles

    That is an extremely high ranking. i'm not going to argue the point but what I will say is that if depth is not added, the whole thing can rapidly fall apart. The Bills have to protect Josh at all costs.

     

    I never want to see the Bills return to the very long period of time where their OL just flat out sucked. Not ever.

  15. Come on everybody
    I say now let's play a game
    I betcha I can make a rhyme
    Out of anybody's name
    The first letter of the name
    I treat it like it wasn't there
    But a "B" or an "F"
    Or an "M" will appear

    So far, the only justification I see for calling it a UFO is "It's round."

     

     

    Hell, I've seen lots of possible UFO's, then. I've got four on my car...

    Wow, hello DCT!!! I hope that all is well!!!!! :)👍:)

  17. I think it is better to stay single than it is to get married and then get divorced. The problem with this is that there is a 50% chance that you will in fact get divorced. The odds on a divorce from your second marriage then skyrocket well beyond that 50%. What surprises many people is that most divorcees do NOT trade up. 

     

    I also think that being in a marriage that is honest and 100% equal is better than being single for you entire life. Don't get me wrong. I got married at 28 and had some unforgettable, excellent nights when I was single. Still, great relationships are a wonderful thing.

     

    This is a good thread but I think that a divorce thread would be even more interesting, and of good use to those contemplating marriage. They might learn behaviors to both look for in a possible spouse and personal behavior to avoid. They would also undoubtably read a horror story or two, or dozens of them.

    Blame him? I am not sure I'd blame anyone. 

     

    Do I think it is a quitter's mentality? Yes. 

    I disagree. If for instance his wife is making his life miserable, this means more than playing football 3,000 milies from home (if there is an option). Should he put his foot down if she makes it an issue and demand a divorce?

    And again,, we are talking about six years down the road.
