    Who is the best #14 in Bills history?

    Again, you dont know! The 1989 comeback against the Rams on MNF then winning several more while Kelly was hurt. 1990 beating Miami in a crucial game allowing the Bills to clinch the AFC East and home field advantage, He did it with class, character, and humility, not traits admired by the fast food/win at any cost and we will take anybody generation in 2024. Seriously, focus in the twenty first century, you don't know, and yes you guys love the negative. It's a lifetime Bills Fan thing, you'll never understand.

    Another thing I think people forget with Reich is how much of a positive impact he had on Kelly.  Frank might not have had the same athletic ability Jim had but he was smart and would help go over things with him on the sidelines. Kelly has said many times having Frank out there was like having an extra coach for him on the sidelines.

    One of last seasons night games I had listed did not even sell, even though I kept dropping the price till it was just under my cost on game day.  

    I think the general consensus amongst ticket holders is they are getting sick of the amount of night games we keep getting.  It's just hard to do for people that work morning jobs.  I usually don't get home until 2:30-3:00am from the night games.  It's hard for those of us that are past our prime partying days to to get 2-3 hours of sleep and go into work hungover the next day and it's also hard to use up so much PTO time for the night games as you not only would have to use a day off the following day but your looking at using at least a half day the day of the game to get down to the stadium for tailgating.  Me and my buddy both had a lot of stuff going on last year so neither one of us had extra PTO time to use so we had to sell all 3 Night games.  It was easy selling the Giants game which was the first but it was a real struggle selling the next 2 night games.

    Who will be the head scratcher pick(s) in the first round?

    Completely agree that this is a 2 off-season retooling.  From that perspective, I wouldn’t force WR in round 1 if there are better options at other important positions T, DT, DE, CB.

    I'm on the WR train for this year but I agree that they shouldn't force anything and they need to look at this as they have two years to address these key positions so don't reach for any of them in this draft.

    I am not pounding the table to draft Robinson, I just think he has a lot of upside - which you correctly point out that he might not reach.  
     

    Again, I’m not advocating to take him, but I would argue that no player that they could take there is completely free of potential to be a JAG or complete bust.  I know some were against taking Elam in the first, but I don’t think that many thought that he would never see the field and would only be hanging on to a roster spot by a thread because he is a former 1st round pick.

     

    The draft is much more inexact than people want to believe and picking as late as the Bills are makes it that much more difficult.

    Yeah I didn't take your original post as you pounding the table for the guy but I was just making a general statement on my thoughts on that situation.  I mean I would love to have a monster DE but this guy just makes me nervous and it's just a position we really can't afford to take a risk on.  My opinion has been we are really looking at the next two draft classes to totally restock the cupboards and at this point I would prefer for them to wait until next year to go after DE

    There really is no comparison.  Go watch some of Robinson play.  He is fast, quick and strong.  He is disruptive, but still needs a to develop more pass rush moves.  Will he be great?  I don’t know that, but he won’t be a flat bust like Maybin.  

    The thing that makes me nervous with this guy even if he doesn't turn out to be a complete bust like Maybin but a JAG...we just cannot afford to whiff on another high draft pick DE prospect.  If we rolled the dice on him we would need him to pan out as a legitimate NFL level DE and it just makes me really nervous.

    Diggs helped Allen grow

     

    Frank had the comeback

     

    But nothing will ever top that feeling when Fitz went toe to toe with Brady and won. Stadium was out of control that day. 

    That really was an incredible atmosphere at the stadium for that one.  It was just as crazy if not crazier than any game during the Allen era

    It was the first that I heard it also. It has the Kleinhans shape and “look” from the outside. I didn’t see as much of the Aud. They just mentioned it as we were going through. I forgot about the Rockpile influence as well. You see that in the entrances. It looks a lot like the Rockpile. 

    That sounds pretty awesome.  I'm surprised this isn't being marketed more.

    Frank Reich is the most iconic because of the comeback game and just for the fact he played a pretty significant role on the Super Bowl teams even though he was a backup.  Diggs is the better player hands down no matter what biases Bills fans might have against him at this point.  Fitz might have claim to the most lovable although that might be a tossup between him and Frank.  Watkins isn't even in the ballpark for this one

    It’s like the initiation fee at a country club. You still have to pay your monthly dues, any assessments that come around and fees for different services. All that the initiation fee does is give you the right to pay those other fees.

    It looked awesome. They walk you through how it is built a certain way to redirect wind. They talk about how the appearance is inspired by Kleinhans and the Aud. I thought that was all pretty sweet. The attention to detail was so far beyond what we currently have. I guess that isn’t a surprise with a 52 year old stadium. It looks like it will be one of the nicer stadiums in the league. 

    That's the first time I've heard anything like that about the new stadium.  Sounds cool.  Can you elaborate on that at all?

    Has the final four replaced the SB as your most enjoyable sporting event!?

    The Super Bowl was always the biggest sporting event of the year for me.  Probably still is...but I dunno over the more recent years it's starting to lose some of it's luster in my opinion. It feels like the entertainment aspect is becoming bigger and bigger and it's starting to feel over the top. There's something that feels more pure about the Stanley Cup Playoffs and Master's weekend for me.  Obviously if the Bills ever made it back to the Super Bowl that would be the Number 1 sporting event hands down.

    Where will you watch the eclipse?

    I went over to my parents neighborhood in the Wheatfield area of Niagara County to watch it.  It was pretty cool, it was the neighborhood I grew up in and I still know alot of the neighbors that live there and a lot of people were out in their yards and driveways hanging out to see it.  No elaborate neighborhood party or anything but just enough excitement to make it something of an event and it cost me $0.  Drove by Gratwick Park in North Tonawanda earlier and it was jumping with a huge crowd and food trucks, DJ's etc...even saw a little petting Zoo with Horses for the kiddos.  I wasn't that hyped for this thing going into it but I can see why it was such a big deal and I'm glad I at least went somewhere to take it in even if it was very lowkey.  

    Are we really going to miss any of the departed players?

    In the long run we are going to be fine.

     

    Are we going to experience some growing pains without all of these guys this upcoming season?  In my opinion, Yes.  We have no idea what to expect out of McGovern as a starting C for the first time in his career.  I expect there to be some communication issues amongst the new safeties as they take over the reigns.  I trust Beane to hit on some draft picks this year but there's always that rookie learning curve where you have to keep your expectations reasonable what those guys are going to come in here and do right away.  I think there's alot of fans that lean on the highly optimistic point of view thinking we are going to be this highly upgraded team this year where I see it as more of a growing pains kind of year although I do expect us to be pretty competitive.  We have too much talent to be a bad team.

    Buffalo Media's Credibility

    Buffalo is a small city in a large market game. I think the media in this town feel a need to play nice to retain access to the team. The media in larger markets have always been more harsh, and not afraid to ruffle feathers. Buffalo media has been an extension of OBD for decades by default. A good deal of the fanbase was brainwashed into thinking the drought years weren’t so bad. 

    Who thought that!? LOL

    Buffalo Destroyers Arena League.  Cheap and a lot of fun.

    As someone who is more than likely giving up my Bills tickets once the new stadium opens up I am toying around with the idea of picking up Bandits season tickets for this reason but I've never really followed them so I'm on the fence.  To be determined...
