I’m not a Sabres fan but I’m rooting for them but everyone including me has to be expecting another epic Buffalo heartbreak at this point

This is going to happen more with NIL if players are Saavy about saving money. Obviously what they get in college isn’t enough to live the rest of their lives but it does give them a head start on not having to bash heads with other NFL guys into their mid 30s. Moss probably made decent money at A&M , realized he didn’t want to do it anymore. Hopefully he has a nice nest egg to figure out what he wants to do next in life

They need to go back to Lyon, UPL looks like he’s mentally not there. He doesn’t look settled and is uncontrollably moving just to move.

Better early to me than in the middle of the season

Was he on time today? Let’s start there

Don’t think you’ll have to make a huge jump for a top flight WR next year even at 32. Obviously Jeremiah Smith and Cam Coleman will most likely hog the spotlight but there are a bunch of other guys next year who can turn into an NFL # 1 WR. Other guys who I think have a strong chance to go round 1 are: Ryan Williams Alabama (not a huge fan but has a year to change my mind) Nick Marsh Indiana. 6’3 215. Stats won’t jump off the screen but he was at Mich State the last two years and now is at Indiana where he’ll have Josh Hoover throwing him the ball and Charlie Becker opposite him Charlie Becker Indiana 6’4 210- # 3 WR last year but with Sarratt and Cooper gone will be thrust into a huge role this year TJ Moore Clemson 6’3 200- Has all the tools to be a breakout WR this year if Clemson can get consistent QB and OC play calling. Bryant Wesco Clemson 6’2 185- See above about Clemson Ryan Wingo Texas 6’2 215- had 850 yards last season and hopefully will have a more consistent Arch this year Mike Matthews Tennessee 6’1 200- Dock two rounds for being a TN WR haha Braylon Staley Tennessee 6’1 190 - See above Then you just have some big athletic freaks Nyck Harbor South Carolina 6’5 235 Ian Strong Cal 6’3 210 KJ Duff Rutgers 6’6 225 Duce Robinson Florida State 6’6 222 Nic Anderson LSU 6’4 210 Reed Harris Arizona State 6’5 217 Isaiah Horton Texas A&M 6’4 210 Now I’m not saying that all of these guys in the first group are going to be first round but this list shows you how many body type freaks there will be in next years draft at WR. Some of these guys will go back to school and this list doesn’t even include the normal sized explosive WRs in next years draft like Mario Craver. I just wanted to highlight the potential huge WRs in next years draft that will be found throughout in all rounds

There are so few GM openings every year comparatively to HC openings. If you actually look at his resume when he interviewed for the Titans job , his resume was one of the weaker ones out of the candidates. I hope he does get the job as having an extra 3rd in next years draft would be sweet . In every scouting video him and Gray seem attached at the hip

Nope I became a Penguins fan in 1992 when I was 7. Everyone was playing a Defensive trap style of hockey at the time which lead to a lot of low scoring hockey. I was drawn to the Penguins because they played an open ice style and had top line goal scorers in Mario, Jagr etc. It’s really the same reason I became an FSU football fan. FSU around that time was one of the few programs that was running a spread no huddle system in college football with exciting players like Charlie Ward. It was more exciting for a kid than watching a team run the wishbone

Now that the Pens are out I’ll be rooting for the Sabres from here on out

I agree I’ve said many times if it was still the old music hall I’d go and sit there all 3 days. If I were to go I’d have to pay VIP because you’re not catching me a half mile away from the stage with a 15 dollar hot dog standing. I’d probably fork over the big bucks to be VIP in Buffalo though

I think if it’s held in Buffalo it won’t be at the stadium it will be downtown on canal side/outer harbor. Problem is late April might still be cold asf near the water. I’ll agree that hotels will be an issue. We have plenty downtown but not sure for a 100K plus coming to town

I do think it’s going to Buffalo one of those two years. The Bills built a new stadium, they’ll want to reward the Bills and it won’t be with a SB so this is the next best thing

I kind of thought about starting a new thread and we can debate whether you like his draft picks till the cows come home. There are 3 things that Brandon Beane does very well as a GM: 1. He always gets a bargain on players he’s re-signing that have been with the Bills in comparison to their market value 2. The man knows how to work a draft board. He has shown it multiple times in his drafts. This one was great but none greater than his manipulation up the board to get Allen at 7 from 21 without giving up a single first round pick( Thanks Cordy Glenn) 3. He knows when a run on players is coming in a draft and very rarely gets caught with his pants down. He got ahead of the DL run and the OT run in the 4th. I thought Igbinosun was a reach like a lot of others but if you look at the Cornerback picks in that area A. There weren’t many and only two had great length. Brandon Cisse went 52nd, Igbinosun went 62, Tacario Davis went 72 then the next guy was Daylan Everette at 85. It’s clear the Bills really liked Igbinosun more than the others and the CB was thin at this point so he went up and got him for a 6th

The Jets fans think they swiped Cooper from us and the Dolphins think they stole Johnson from us. Truth is if we really loved either player we would have stayed and picked at 26 or 28 in Coopers case. I was one of the few banging the CB drum in the early rounds and honestly would have loved Chris Johnson so if true that stings for me a bit for me. To me the Bills were always planning on moving down. Beane talks about having an offer to go straight from 26 to the 2nd round were made clear but he wanted to go incrementally to see what was on the board. Maybe if the Bills didn’t have a partner they would have I think it’s more likely that the Dolphins really liked Johnson and were afraid another team behind them might jump them. I think that team was Seattle. I also think the Bills jumped Seattle knowing they were going to take Igbinosun. It makes sense after seeing the Seahawks take both Neal and Fuller who were also long cornerbacks Just my two cents from my perspective

The biggest thing I took from that was they wanted an Edge Rusher and CB in with their first two picks. They had 3 players on their board at that spot obviously with Parker being the top one. I think it’s fair to assume the other two were also Edge Rushers or Cornerbacks based on his comment . So who fits there outside of Parker? They wanted a long press corner so I’m not sure Hood was on there. Maybe Brandon Cisse from South Carolina? Unlikely I’d think? I think Zion Young has to be one of the other two. Gabe Jacas makes sense but he went way later. Were they about to take a shot on R Mason Thomas or Cashius Howell? I’d say also unlikely so I’m most curious about that
