    They also make a fortune on their ATM's conveniently located inside the restaurant!!!

     

    I am a Weichecs guy..used to be my main hangout ( before going to Allentown etc) in the 80's. Actually watched the 2nd half of 49's-Giants there to see who we were going to destroy in the Super Bowl after 51-3. 

     

    My main haunt, R&L Lounge on Mills Street, is closed on Sunday (they're old) so I usually have to go to Arty's for the games, at least when I'm not at home.

    This is true. As I young boy,I remember walking down Clinton with my two young sisters (70's). Spending a few quarters on bubble gum,sports cards,candy courtesy of our uncle's deep pockets..those days are long gone.On a positive note,Wiechec's still rocks for fish fry's and beef on weck.

     

    Agreed, a little pricy, but their food is worth it.

    Running NEs offense... yes we will have slot guys, mostly. aka quick, route runners...

     

    "But Allen can throw the ball 80 yards!" 

     

    Just because Allen can throw the ball 80 yards doesn't mean you design an offense around that... Expect 10-15 play drives, hopefully that put up points.

     

    I understand that the EP offense is like that, but I still would feel better having a speedy guy to trick some safeties.

    What part of the city has declined?  Please don't bring up the LoveJoy District or BlackRock....since they have always been poverty stricken.Have you looked at the prices of homes in Allentown and the Elmwood Village lately?

     

    I suppose parts of Buffalo that are more or less forgotten have declined, like Kaisertown and places towards Lackawanna.

    And the inspectors will be leaving and the mullahs will get their uranium back to begin the process of building a bomb. Obama made it so Iran couldn't make a bomb anytime soon, Trump just changed all that! 

     

    The Persian Bomb could soon be a reality! Thanks Trump! You POS! 

     

    You seriously think that Iran followed the deal?

    While we're at it maybe we can dig up Allen's childhood dog, Patches.  He really loved that dog.  They went everywhere together until that freak accident with the wood chipper.

     

    Put him in the pet semetary!

    I agree. Both have rocket arms and have some good mobility. If you look at Stafford's NFL career, he was mostly a 60% passer during his first 5 years. The past 3 years he has been a 65% passer. For those who believe completion percentage equals accuracy, then his career shows that accuracy can be improved. 

     

    He deosnt have to force it to Johnson anymore, so he has learned to open the field up.

    The interesting nugget for me is what the decision making logic was driving the new regime (Beane and McDermott) to spend #12, #53, #56 and Cordy Glenn on Josh Allen while trading away a similar developmental guy in Cardale Jones? 

     

    Beane wasn’t here when McDermott passed on Mahomes and Watson, but if they wanted the big arm, why didn’t they draft Mahomes last season? How do you watch Watson’s career and conclude he’s not worth one first round pick, but Allen is worth trading up for? 

     

    What reason(s) past he’s tall and has a big arm are there? Because through two interviews they sound like Whaley speaking about Manuel. Presence and really tall, nothing about accurate passing and scoring points. 

     

    Because Cardale started what, one season? He was benched for Christsake. Spread offense, no reads, tons of talent on the OSU team. Allen has made some damn nice throws that Cardale could never.

    Totally agree.

     

    Mahomes was the same type of prospect as Allen only he was actually a pretty good college player.

     

    Not liking Mahomes and then trading up for Allen makes zero sense whatsoever. 

     

    Allen's game type, like EJ Manuel before him, suggested he should be a mid round draft pick.

     

    If he were 6'1, 215 like Baker Mayfield, he wouldn't have been drafted. 

     

    Allen was in a pro style offense. Mahomes was air raid and EJ was a spread. They are not clones.
