What??? Kincaid ceiling is so far beyond Knox it is not even close. Kincaid will thrive with more targets, I think they haven't targeted him enough and hopefully that is about to change.
-
I'm not turning on him, I've always thought he has poor technique catching the ball. His new contract is 13 per for the next 4 years, laughable for his talent set. He is avg at best and benefits from Allen being his qb, same as Davis. Let's hope the Bills don't re-sign him to a ridiculous contract as well.
-
Ridiculous statement; regardless of who's paying, the team has a salary cap. Money wasted is money that could've/should've been better spent elsewhere. Maybe the oline, LB, CB, WR2 ? 13 million probably could have bought 2 good players at those positions.
-
You need an above average o line to do that, not just a couple tight ends. The Bills have never had a good oline for Josh Allen. He doesn't need one evidently. Why does he need a clean pocket when he runs around so well? Besides, the d line is so much more important and still needs work. Maybe another new RB will fix everything. P.S. I couldn't find the sarcasm font. Cook looked good yesterday, one of the few bright spots imo.

Brown has consistently been one of the worst starting rts in the league since day 1 three years ago, it's laughable that he is still starting on a team with SB aspirations. The oline should have been a top priority after drafting Allen, period.
-
Keep running him up the middle, he's a powerhouse. I had a bad feeling on the first drive when they ran Cook up the middle for little gain on 1st and 2nd down, then Spencer Brown gets knocked flying backwards into Allen. Cook is not a 3 down back, he hits the ground whenever he's touched; and once again Brown should not be a starter. Stinker all around, Allen played like ***** but the coaches and line stunk it up as well.

Ugh Beane said he drafted Basham in the 2nd rnd even though he had just taken Rousseau in the 1st, because "he just couldn't pass up his talent". Meanwhile Humphrey has been the best center since he entered the league and he went the very next pick to the arch rival Chiefs, completing their oline overhaul in a single offseason. They are still thanking Beane for the gift. Morse has been in decline since he joined the team imo, the Chiefs let him go at the perfect time and haven't missed a beat. I pounded the table for Humphrey and actually stopped watching the draft after Basham was picked. What a wasted pick and opportunity. The Bills line has basically sucked the last few years and will almost certainly be mediocre to below average again. Torrance looks like a good pick so far and should help them improve, but more talent is needed. The tackle group beyond Dawkins is one of the worst in the league, but the Bills are all good and ready to go. Luckily having a good offensive line isn't very important and the Bills have been winning SBs without one. Also luckily, this is the last time I will rehash my disgust with the Basham pick. P.S. for those saying the Bills had Morse and didn't need a center, Humphrey at 320 lbs is versatile and could play either guard position (according to his draft profile) until replacing Morse(which should have happened by now). The Bills were desperately in need at guard at the time.

Conor Orr (from Si.com) and his prediction: Bills at 9-8 🤔
Turk71 replied to Italian Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bills with at least 10 wins? I'd make that bet any day, I highly doubt Conor Orr would put his money on a 9 win season. He's just looking for attention. -
Bills @ Bears Game Day Thread?!?!?!?

Not too bad for an old guy whose legs are shot😉 -
Bills @ Bears Game Day Thread?!?!?!?
Turk71 replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall
He's a vet backup/situational back at this stage. I think he can adequately fill that role for this season and bring knowledge and experience for the young ones. I like the fact that he has fumbled 3 times in his last 1000 carries and lost none of them. Not a single lost fumble in the last 7 seasons -
Bills @ Bears Game Day Thread?!?!?!?
Turk71 replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall
Ran 4.38 40 at his pro day.. He's 33 now but big and slow is not an accurate description He had 170 carries 750 yds 4.5yds per carry and 6 tds last season with very high grades from pff (8th out of 60 backs). He looked good whenever I saw him play. -
Jones and Johnson are good restructure targets.

When I lived in the Grand Canyon in the early/mid 80s we would go to Phoenix for the weekend and tube down the Salt River with hundreds of partiers. Big rafts with kegs and boomboxes blasting music. At the end of the run hundreds of people would be partying in the river. They had a big jump built for people to do flips on their bikes into the water. It was a wild scene, I highly doubt it is allowed to happen anymore.

With 4 brothers and 2 sisters we got a lot of free report card tickets from Tops every year. We were all pretty smart. My mom would divvy them up evenly so nobody felt bad or fought about it. I remember the air guns. You're a pervert.😂

Haven't been to Sherkston in 40 years now. Crystal Beach was definitely a big highlight of my childhood. I wasn't a big fan of the Wild Mouse though, that ride was scary. I was terrified I would fly out of the little car 😄. The Comet was my addiction and where I used most of my fun tickets. The whole family would go through the Fun house together and ride down the carpet just before leaving. McIntosh caramel, cinnamon apples, and some kind of berry syrup drink (loganberry) come to mind as well. Good times

The Cazenovia park pool was fun as a kid but pretty crowded. We would climb the fence at night as teens to have the pool to ourselves. We also rode our bikes to the Cargill grain elevators on Tifft and Fuhrmann and would climb up the missing stairs inside (you had to use the edges because the stairs had been removed, if you fell through the middle you would go all the way to the bottom and probably die) and then dive out of the opening ~50 ft up. The water was pretty disgusting back then. The high tower at Sherkston Quarry was of similar height, maybe a little lower. A friend and I did 1 1/2 flip dives off of it. I only did it once and pulled it off. When I was in grammar school we swam at the Bethlehem Management Club on Roger's rd and Southwestern in Hamburg (Briarwood? now I believe). That place was awesome. They had a diving pool with 1 and 3 meter springboards and a 3 meter platform, also had a big waterslide and bball hoop in the water. I swam and dove for the team. I swim in Oregon lakes and rivers mostly these days, occasionally taking a quick dip in the ocean.

I am glad he is gone. I hate the soft nonaggressive defense. A good QB makes it the Death of a Thousand cuts, so frustrating to watch. I'd rather be aggressive and get beat down the field once in a while than watch that garbage. With such a potent offense the Bills focus on D should be getting off the field. Get after them, create turnovers, get off the ***** field. No more 8 minute drives while Josh is waiting on the sideline. The downside is sometimes they break a play and now the ball is back in Josh Allen's hands. I'll take that tradeoff anyday. Strictly from an entertainment perspective there is no comparison, soft d and long drives with Allen off the field is unbearable. Compare watching that to watching an aggressive defense and more Allen possessions. There is no guarantee that is what we will get but I know I have seen enough of Frazier's defense that I welcome whatever comes next.

Grew up in S Buffalo 6th out of 7 w 4 brothers My dad finished our basement in '64, put in a small bar and a big rec/tv room. My dad, my brothers and I, and various assortments of grandpas, uncles, cousins, and friends would gather on Sundays for the football on a big b/w console tv. It would get so rowdy down there, my family really likes to laugh and it would get pretty hilarious. I was the 4 year old beer runner. The grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts have all passed on, as well as 2 of my brothers. Hearing that Jim Brown passed brought me immediately back to those basement gatherings that I hadn't thought about for a long time. It feels good to remember them ❤️ RIP

RIP Jim Brown Before the merger the Browns were the favorite NFL team in my family. Jim Brown, Leroy Kelly and Paul Warfield were my favorites Had his poster on my wall Loved seeing him in the Dirty Dozen at the theater as a kid.

Quinnen Williams scrubs Jets from his Twitter page
Turk71 replied to wppete's topic in The Stadium Wall
I could be in the minority but I am not expecting Rodgers to be that great this year for the Jets. I think the honeymoon wears off quickly, starting with getting badly beaten in their season opening primetime home game vs the Bills. Their reconstructed oline will need to gel quickly. They were terrible last year and I dont expect them to be very good starting the season. -
Murray faced a higher % stacked boxes than any rb w over 150 carries in the NFL last year, and still ran for 171 carries 760 yds 6 tds 4.5yds/carry. He didnt look washed up at all. No idea how it will shake out but I thought he looked good whenever I saw him. Maybe they just stash him for insurance.

Bills sign Latavius Murray to a one-year deal
Turk71 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
I didnt realize he ran 4.38 at his pro day. I know it was years ago but that is pretty incredible for his size. His 3 cone time was amazing as well. https://nflcombineresults.com/playerpage.php?f=Latavius&l=Murray&i=28913
