  1. Joe Marino on his latest podcast has the Bills at $2.6 million under the cap, before the signing of the draft picks. He expects a move to be made soon to clear some more space for the season (not for any impending signing).
  2. Hopefully same for Eagles and Chiefs, too.
  3. I have nothing in particular to add to this conversation other than saying "thanks" to the OP for this thread. I'm not a fan of way-too-early mock drafts, but I do appreciate an early look at and discussion of next off season's free agents. 🍺
  4. Another low-key one I loved...Bills at Benglas, December 2004...that was the game rookie Jason Peters blocked a punt and recovered it in the end zone for a TD...also, Takeo Spikes, just over from Cincy, picks off a pass and returns it for the TD...Bills win 33-17.
  5. I was at that game! It was awesome. Kyle Williams with the interception. The future looked bright with EJ Manuel.
  6. Don’t know if it’s been mentioned in the last 6 pages, but one that comes to mind is the game at home against the Packers with Rodgers at QB. Don’t remember the year, probably early-mid 2010s. Super Mario made the strip sack in the end zone to seal the game. Packers were really good that year and beating them was awesome, especially given how many Packers fans I work with.
  7. Defense wins championships.
  8. We actually have a family of Cooper’s hawks that moved into the neighborhood a couple years ago. Got a couple of awesome photos of one in my backyard, too. Hasn’t done a damn thing for the squirrels, though. Not a bad idea about the speaker…
  9. That was hilarious! And, I'm doomed.
  10. Yeah, it’s damn near impossible. The trunk splits only about 3 feet above the ground, so the sheet metal thing would be hard. I’m thinking this might just be a loss, hope for some fruit to make it through the onslaught.
  11. No other trees nearby, but the neighbor’s garage is right next to it. So they have access to it from there, and from the ground. I could probably trim it enough to make the access from the garage difficult, but I’m not 100% sure.
  12. Anybody know how to keep squirrels off of an apricot tree? Damn things are destroying all of my apricots. It’s mass apricot genocide in my yard. Everything I’ve read online is people giving up after trying various things. Anyone here have any luck?

    RIP flaz

    So strange...I've been coming to this site almost daily for the last, what, almost 30 years? Yikes. I feel like I should at least recognize most everyone here, but I honestly don't remember Flaz at all, and that makes me feel bad. Sounds like he had a rough go of it there, and it always makes me sad when a Bills fan passes before getting to see them win it all. RIP.
  14. Thanks. Not sure how much Beane would be willing to give up, but I sense he probably wants to get back into the 3rd somehow.
  15. Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but if the Bills wanted to get back into the 3rd round, while keeping their 1st and 2 2nd rounders, what would it take with their remaining draft picks to move back up into round 3?
  16. We can hope...definitely didn't look up to the task last year...
  17. * checks date * * not April 1 *
  18. I'll just say that I stayed at one of those hotels in the Northtowns and the room I got was infested with bed bugs. Didn't discover it until it was too late. That. Sucked. I'm pretty picky about where I stay now.
  19. There's a non-zero chance the Bills at Browns game is the international game...
  20. Man, I vividly remember watching this game while at college in my apartment. The guys living right below us were Jets fans, and I remember cheering so loudly in this game that it had to seriously piss them off. Good times.
  21. This is true, but it’s another example of a player traded to another team in exchange for draft picks. It wasn’t part of a package for the Cardinals to move up in the draft per se. Again, another example of a player just traded for picks, not as part of a package to move up in the draft.
  22. Good call, but the Bills basically traded for the player. I was thinking of trades that involved a player so a team could move up in the draft. I don’t think that was the case here.
  23. Another good catch. Maybe not quite as rare as it seems?
  24. Not sure. That seems to make sense, yet it has still happened a handful of times. Wonder how that works, especially if the trade goes through and a player then gets picked.
  25. Another good catch. Looks like it was on Day 2 of the draft. Accoding to ESPN, the Bills traded for Bledsoe after they missed out on drafting Patrick Ramsey. Yikes. However, this is an example of a team trading specifically for a player, not packaging a player to move up in the draft that day.
