Because the Pegulas are going to buy a baseball team and move them on Whitehaven rd right near the only Tops on the island. It’s going to be the baseball Mecca of the area. Except it will be built with a dome. Unlike all the other Buffalo Suburb sports teams.

Will DeAndre Hopkins be available this offseason?

Well. They had us 1st last year and we got smoked by the 5th team in our own house. Making us look like we shouldn’t have even been in the playoffs. So…. -
Because it’s NYC and because he wants to play with the figure HOF QB Rodgers, and because they will immediately get the hype and the expectations of being one of the SB favorites this year if he and Rodgers both go there.

Scouting Report Daiyan Henley ILB rounds 2-3
mrags replied to PrimeTime101's topic in The Stadium Wall
When I hear things like “athletically limited” I automatically think if stout MLBs that don’t get pushed around in the run game, and LBs that attack the LOS to meet the runners before they already have a head of steam going. You know, the opposite of what Edmund’s was. And I’m 100% pleased about that. but I shouldn’t get my hopes up. Because MCD loves his small, undersized guts that are quick and agile. It’s shown apparently in our run defense the past few years. For those people that want that, don’t complain come playoff time when our DLine can’t hold up and get ran all over. -
He’s a proper crook. At least he’s not a rapist or pedophile.

I’ll take longer looks at anyone over 225lbs. Which is like 4 guys in this LB class that are worth a crap. I’d take my chances with Sewell in the 4th or later instead of some undersized guy (Bernard Jr) any earlier. -

I mean, his brother is an OL at 330lb. So I hope he’s not like his brother. from PFF: HEIGHT 6' 1" WEIGHT 246 CLASS So. AGE 20.9 Where he wins: Manhandling Like his older brother, Penei, Noah is a certified ass-kicker. To look like a man among boys at only 20 years old is not something you see every day. He’s the most powerful linebacker in the class, and it isn’t close. What’s his role: Blitz-heavy LB/edge? If you’re not blitzing Sewell five or more times a game, you’re not getting the most out of his skill set. He doesn’t have ideal length, but it’d be interesting to see what his raw power can do at edge rusher, as well. What can he Improve: Coverage awareness Sewell gets caught staring at quarterbacks a good bit. Oregon did its best to take him out of a coverage-first role, and the NFL would be wise to do the same. pretty sure that’s exactly what I want out of a MLB. Exactly everything that Edmunds wasn’t -

If there’s no reason to be down on him? Then there’s likely no reason to replace him. Pretty sure I do. He’s my number 1 LB I’d want on this team from the rookie class to replace Edmunds. He seems to be the anti-Edmunds which is why I like him so much. Please tell me why I don’t want him. -

At 225lbs for any LB in this league I’ll pass. RBs in the nfl will have field days with that -

That’s funny. That’s exactly why I’ve thought of just about every single LB in this draft not named Sewell or Campbell. -

No thank you. Same problems as Edmund’s but he’s smaller and less powerful. Noah Sewell please -
Before, during and after. He was alive for a bunch of it and it continued for years after as well. Still, even though we made the playoffs in 99’ that was kinda of a joke then too. False hope from a midget QB that couldn’t see past his centers hips.

100% in this and anyone that thinks otherwise is fooling themselves. in 1960 Buffalo had a population that was over 500k. It was the 20th largest city in the US. That’s ahead of places like: Atlanta Miami San Jose Oakland Phoenix Tampa Indianapolis Denver Kansas City Minneapolis Austin Nashville now…. Buffalo ranks 78th in the list with a population of 278k. Behind places like: Anchorage Tulsa Wichita Lincoln Durham Plano Chandler Chula Vista As a city we’ve done nothing but dwindle away. the exports from Buffalo have long been gone. We are now a city of customer service and hospitality. Serving those few people that do actually have decent jobs. “Buffalo and the surrounding area were long involved in railroad commerce, steel manufacture, automobile production, aircraft/aerospace design and production, Great Lakes shipping and grain storage. Most of these industries have left the city through the years. Major steel production no longer exists in the area, although several smaller steel mills remains in operation. As of the 1950 United States Census, Buffalo was the 15th largest city in the country, the nation's largest inland port (12th overall), second biggest rail center, sixth largest steel producer, and eighth largest manufacturer.” “The loss of traditional jobs in manufacturing, rapid suburbanization and high costs of labor have led to economic decline, making Buffalo one of the poorest among U.S. cities with populations of more than 250,000 people. An estimated 28.7–29.9% of Buffalo residents live below the poverty line, behind either only Detroit,[29] or only Detroit and Cleveland.[30][31]Buffalo's median household income of $27,850 is third-lowest among large cities, behind only Miami and Cleveland; however the median household income for the metropolitan area is $57,000.” “Buffalo faces issues with vacant and abandoned houses, as the city ranks second to St. Louis on the list of American cities with the most vacant properties per capita.” “A major culprit in Buffalo’s collapse was a shift in transportation technology, reducing the importance of the Erie Canal and of the cities that arose to take advantage of it. In the 1830s, you would have been mad to set up a manufacturing firm in New York State that didn’t have access to the canal or some other waterway. Starting in the 1910s, though, trucks made it easy to deliver products and get deliveries—all you needed was a nearby highway. Rail became more efficient: the real cost of transporting a ton one mile by rail has fallen 90 percent since 1900. Then the Saint Lawrence Seaway opened in 1957, connecting the Great Lakes to the Atlantic and allowing grain shipments to bypass Buffalo altogether. These shocks didn’t just hit the New York canal cities; every city on the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, its water-based advantages eroded, lost industries to areas with cheaper labor costs. Other trends compounded Buffalo’s woes. Improvements in electricity transmission made companies’ proximity to Niagara Falls increasingly irrelevant. Mechanization meant that the industry that did remain in the city needed fewer bodies. The appeal of the automobile induced many to leave the older center cities for the suburbs, where property was plentiful and cheaper, or to abandon the area altogether for cities like Los Angeles, built around the car. And Buffalo’s dismal weather didn’t help. January temperatures are one of the best predictors of urban success over the last half-century, with colder climes losing out—and Buffalo isn’t just cold during the winter: blizzards regularly shut the city down completely. The invention of air conditioners and certain public health advances made warmer states even more alluring“ “Buffalo wasn’t a particularly skilled city in 1970, and it isn’t one now. Fewer than 19 percent of the city’s adults boast a college degree; the number in Manhattan is 57.5 percent. Whereas New York always had some industries, such as finance, that required brainpower, Buffalo’s industries were invariably brawn-based. Buffalo wasn’t a university town like Boston, and it didn’t have Minneapolis’s Scandinavian passion for good lower education. It had the right skill mix for making steel or flour, not for flourishing in the information age.” https://www.city-journal.org/html/can-buffalo-ever-come-back-13050.html

We’re waiting for gummies to be introduced to the new stadium menu. -
Yeah. The “clauses” are Meaningless to the people that would be buying the team. The chances are the next NFL team sells for at least 3B if not more. So I’d imagine in 5 years time, 10 years time, whatever it is, it won’t matter. The super ultra rich are the people buying teams now. You’re Jeff Bezos’ of the world. They would easily fork out 5B for a team and throw in an other 1-2B on top of it if needed to move them. And chances are they wouldn’t have to spend any money on a new stadium but cause somewhere like Austin or somewhere else would gladly pony up for a new NFL stadium/team. We don’t belong in the conversation. The rest of the league owners probably hate that Buffalo is in the league. They are likely pissed at themselves for not finding someone sooner to buy the team and move then when we hadn’t won anything in 15+ years after Ralph died.

Aren’t all the cures now medical marijuana? Pretty sure they just give that to everyone and it’s been working. Or at least people have been happy enough all the time to not care about their over exaggerated medical conditions. -

I’d much rather take Miller in the 4th or Rochon Johnson in the 5th+ or even Keaton Mitchell in the 6th.

I think it’s ok but not that much detail about how it’s gone on so far. -
Agree with all of this but think he goes somewhere in the 40s. Every mock I’ve done he generally gets picked up by 45ish.
