  1. I think I understand your point. The NFL may indeed no longer value that skill set and perhaps most teams think of that player as a dinosaur. I was told Sweeney would have been a second or third round pick a generation ago because he was a prototypical te for a bygone era. Nonetheless, he seems to carry value even today. Maybe Williams is Hunter redux. I stubbornly believe this Bills' team could use a receiver like that, even if to the rest of the league that is an anachronistic assessment.
  2. Seems to me a WR who makes contested catches, has sufficient size to be RZ threat, and is a good blocker is a reasonable skill set. Whether other teams value that or not, it's something I think the Bills could use.
  3. Depends on if Seattle makes the playoffs their inaugural season, in which case it will be a tie. Outside chance the Sabres make it this year.
  4. You are the Scott Law of Sabres' posters. The team fumbled the rebuild, but they have a fair chance to be quite good in a few years. They are certainly not the worst team in all of sports.
  5. Well, they have Cole Beasley and Daboll is recreating the Pats* offense. I understand you probably shouldn't run the old Raider's style vertical passing game. I'm not against moving the chains and creating matchup problems. But the long ball has to be a key part of your game when you have a fella that can throw it eighty yards and speedy wrs that can go get it. Run game and underneath routes benefit as well. I think they know that, so I'm not too concerned they are going to ask Allen to simply take the easy short stuff. They'll be easy short routes because the D has to fear the chunk plays.
  6. Draft a qb with Allen's arm and then go dink and dunk. It's like drafting OJ and using him as a decoy. I suppose the young'uns won't get this reference. Including Brandon Reilly in the list was the joke.
  7. Just don't like the monochrome color look for anybody. Don't like color rush much, but better than blue on blue. Believe this further confirms that I am old. I like the throwbacks. I like the white-on-white. Blue on white is best look. Wish they'd do the throwback blues. Think our current unis are among the best in the league, though I like the standing buffalo better.
  8. It was as much the shock of the announcement as anything. If there had been recent hints Luck's injuries were such that he might be considering retirement, folks would have been prepared. As it was, twitter releases the bad news while the player is actually on the field and fans are watching him in the stadium. Easy to paint fans as dim Neanderthals, but context matters.
  9. I actually advocated for both. Allen is bigger, stronger, and a more effective runner. We'll see if both work out or not.
  10. Element 115 is Moscovium, so you are definitely a Russian bot. It quickly decays into Nihonium. After that it decays into Whocaresium.
  11. He's not expecting a top-15 pick, but the rest is plausible.
  12. Doesn't mean anything about the upcoming year. We'll see how golden boy does. Still think last super bowl should have been Saints KC.
  13. You should PM Stallions and see if the two of you can get together for a beer or something.
  14. I think Scallions will be disappointed that most fans are going to be rational on this topic.
  15. No one is allowed to be happy. If you are happy, you are a cultist, a hyped-up sunshine bunny dope. Are you happy now?
  16. Wasn't aware of that. I suppose it is timing and context. The dropped TD sticks in the mind. Anyway, I am rooting for him and don't think he's a bust as some here apparently do.
  17. So, certain kinds of religious bigotry and cynicism is frowned upon, but this kind is the sort that is applauded and declared to be a rational assertion, often by the same crowd that is offended if it goes against a protected class. The inconsistency and inopportune stone hands is still an issue, but I think he does enough for the jack-of-all trades role you are suggesting. He really needs to improve the drops though.
  18. I like this one, but I'm biased because I wrote it. Give it a look on Amazon. Sci-fi fantasy retelling of the Noah story.
  19. Well, I think that's right. So Cutler with great character and a natural leader is a pretty good recipe, no? Not proof it will work out, but I like my chances if that's what I got.
  20. Oh, I hope you're not too uncomfortable. Have you had anything to eat? Once you eat the food, you'll start thinking correctly. Then, of course, you'll have to stop hanging out with your friends and family. We only start by asking for 25% of your salary.
  21. I don't think they want to play Jauron Ball long term, do you? You do that with a limited roster and not very good qb play. Daboll is much more imaginative and Allen at least has potential to be a franchise qb. In any event, Astro seemed very high on the current group in his last notes for camp, which is what I was referring to. He appears sold on them in the same way Shaw66 is and you are one of the dark cloud skeptics by my reading. So sorry if I have mischaracterized your position. No kidding. I was indicating who I thought a better polar opposite. I didn't say you said that.
