  1. I guess that I differ in that I want a specific skill at the position. I don’t care about “RB” per se. I care about guys that can hit a crease and go 68 yards. We don’t have that skill on our roster (with the possible exception of Wade). That skill you normally pay a premium for. I’d prefer Ruggs, for example, but don’t see him being there. The Bills don’t make nearly enough big plays.
  2. They had (and have) very little receiving talent. Again, I’m not advocating for Swift but we need to understand that he makes this team significantly better. He’s a high end playmaker.
  3. He’s an elite level receiver. The day he enters the league he’s a top 5-10 receiving back (and that’s conservative). He can be a 15 touch a game guy with Singletary in the more traditional role. Think about the success that the Saints has with Ingram and Kamara. That’s the kind of dynamic that the Bills can create (especially with Josh’s mobility). They still need other pass catching options but Swift makes this offense a lot better.
  4. I haven’t read through the thread but I’m assuming a lot of “why RB when we have a good one?” We need to stop looking at positions as much as skill sets. It’s just like in the NBA where it went from 1-5 to position-less basketball. Swift is an explosive playmaker with high end receiving skills. The Bills need explosive playmaking. It can be a combination of RB, WR and/or TE.
  5. My brother is in the Elmwood Village and his house is WAY up from when they bought it 2 or 3 years ago. He did well on his house in Kenmore too (even though it had some issues). He was under contract like 7 times before they finally closed but ended up like 20% up on it.
  6. This is an easy one for me. The price and fit should make a lot of sense. If you could hand Olsen, Kroft’s money it’s a no brainer.
  7. Rocky from Rocky 4 Drago Apollo from Rocky 1 Rocky from Rocky 2 Clubber Lang Rocky from Rocky 1 Rocky from Rocky 3 Apollo from Rocky 2 Mason Dixon Robert Saleh Rocky from Rocky Balboa Rocky from Rocky 5 Apollo from Rocky 4 Tommy Gunn
  8. I’ll take the Raiders
  9. Even still he was 23-25, 59.1% completion, 59 total TDs, 62 total turnovers, sacked 140 times, and averaged 214.3 yards a game. He was a bad player here. By comparison Tyrod (who was decent): 23-20, 62.6% completion, 65 total TDs, 21 total turnovers, sacked 124 times, 237.1 total yards a game I don’t mean dwell on it but there has always been a lot of debate on here as to who was the best QB since Kelly. Often times people mention Bledsoe. He isn’t in the conversation. They remember those first 8 games but forget how bad he really was for the majority of his time in a Bills uniform. An argument can be made for Flutie, Tyrod or Fitz but not Bledsoe (I’m not including Josh even though he may already be the answer). That’s why he’s on my least favorite list. He’s the most overrated player that the Bills have had.
  10. $25k for the final
  11. I’m with you. I had a lot of work to do this morning to get ready but I’m almost done. Once I’m done I’d just assume people come over
  12. It really was. That’s why I shake my head when people try to argue him being the best Bills QB since Kelly. He was actually TERRIBLE aside from 8 games.
  13. I agree. The crazy part is if you exclude those 1st 8 games he was no better than EJ, Losman, Edwards, et al. After those first 8 games Bledsoe’s record was 18-22. He completed 702-1,213 for a 57.9% completion percentage. He threw 39 TDs and 38 INTs. Bledsoe was sacked 110 times in 40 games!!! He also lost 19 fumbles in those same 40 games!! He had 4 rushing TDs in that window. So to recap he had 43 total TDs and 57 turnovers!!!! That is an atrocious 2.5 years!!! He was NOT even an acceptable player after the first 8 games yet some people remember him as a star.
  14. Maybe I’m a millennial but I love the relationship between Josh and Darnold. They are super close and seem like good dudes. I hope it sets up for a long term rivalry but I picture it more in the realm of LeBron vs. DWade than Yanks vs. Sox
  15. My list: coy : Harbaugh mvp: Lamar OROY : Josh Jacobs DROY: Bosa OPOY: Thomas DPOY: Chandler Jones Comeback POY: Devante Parker
  16. I’m good with everything except I though Josh Jacobs should have been the OROY.
  17. Such an interesting question. I said 4 cst but the Pelicans play at 1 and I know all of these dudes will be there then.
  18. Ha ha, I will not be. I started this thread for advice. This Super Bowl is really confusing me. So far in the playoffs SF has come out fast, and KC slow. Then KC has gone off. That’s why I’m betting it like that. I’m going to guess SF gets the lead and tries to run it. KC throws it as they are playing from behind. I might be wrong but that’s my feeling.
  19. That’s my only hope. I love the 7 but that 5 sucks. It’s only 4 payouts too so it’s not like you can get your money out on touching squares and whatever. Basically a donation
  20. I have a big square ($500) that I split with a buddy. Just got the number, SF - 7, KC - 5. Gross!!
  21. Mario Williams was a 1st team all-pro as a Bill and averaged 11 sacks a year. It’s not his fault Rex thought he should drop into coverage.
  22. I’ll probably skip Kelce and Tyreke. It was just an example. Sammy at 60:1 is too much value. If he has 7 for 125 and 2 TDs he will have a chance. Hardman is the Pro Bowl return man. If he busts one he could be the guy. At 50:1 it’s worth a few bucks as well. I don’t think either of those is likely but it’s worth a couple of $10 fliers.
