  1. This trade may have been the absolute best outcome for both teams- one of the best all time: Bills get a WR1 in his prime with big game experience to help our young QB grow, Minnesota gets an incredible talent with our pick who has a reliable veteran in Kirk Cousins to acclimate him to the NFL. I do think Jefferson would be a stud on this offense as well for sure, but Diggs was exactly what Josh needed to elevate his game and put his trust into a known talent
  2. I loved seeing him prop up the young guys. He went out there and showed them how to do it, then sat back while Greg got his in. I think Rousseau may benefit most from his time he will spend with Von.
  3. I hope the dolphins and pats tie. That way both those miserable canvases can be angry together
  4. I don’t care where we draft someone- best players play. Benford is going on o be the steal of the draft, which is saying something considering how much talent we got this year.
  5. So many to give out, but I wanted to shout out the rookie corners holding it down like they did. Lots of pressure going into the champs house on ring day and they did a good job. Excellent learning experience and I hope they continue to get comfortable back there
  6. Instead of a jersey swap, he needs to give Josh his place on the Top 100
  7. lol Josh is gonna go scorched earth this season and I personally can’t wait
  8. Bud, you’re like 10 posts deep and they’re all in this thread. I think YOU need a distraction. Let’s trust the Bills on this and wait until we actually hear from them before making them cut someone. I’m with you: if he was involved I hope he never sees a snap in the NFL, but I’m also willing to wait more than 24 hours before making that decision.
  9. Well, we already know which AFC North player was crowned “Kink of the North”
  10. Benford, Araiza, and Shakir showed up to again prove that Beane can find some real gems on day 3 of the draft. All 3 are making the team after what I’ve seen so far
  11. Hope he brings it to our next meeting so our players can sign it for him
  12. Middle-aged wife more like it
  13. Tyrod was a far better option than people gave him credit for at the time. I feel like some people are/were hard on him because we dreamed of having a QB like Josh. Now, years later, I think people could/should see that he was one of the better drought era QB’s we had. He wasn’t going to throw for 350+/4tds, but he wouldn’t make mistakes and he would let his playmakers (Shady especially) do their thing. I give Rex a lot of grief for some of his decisions, but ultimately at the time he was right when it came to QB. Tyrod was a great presence on the team and seems like a genuinely good guy. I hope he can start a few games in NY
  14. Josh Allen is like Jack Reacher- it’s seems unfair that he is somehow the biggest, baddest, and smartest man in the room/on the field, but he is and that’s the way it goes. Anything another QB can do, Josh can do better
  15. So Zack Wilson can score 6’s in the wild but can’t on the field? Weird flex but alright bud.
  16. How dare you. just kidding- thanks for keeping the lights on
  17. Poor Titans - I mean at least they have like 5 dedicated fans out there I guess lol
  18. I’m of the mindset that the NFL is listening to the other 31 owners mad about the fully guaranteed contract, thus waiting to see where the chips fall. If/when the hammer falls it’s going to swing some bargaining power back towards owners to look at a QB wanting a Waston-type contract and say “after all that crap? No way.” it’s going to be a mini-reset on the market, but only back to what it was before this idiotic contract came out. No team is going to pay their QB until this situation plays out
  19. I actually live just outside of Vestal - there’s still a rivalry. The high schools for Endicott (Union-Endicott) and Vestal are basically separated by a bridge. The entire Southern Tier / Triple Cities area is interesting in that there are just some spots that feel lost to time. Binghamton has made efforts to revitalize to varying success- we just had 2 of the nicer bars close down because the owners are being charged with sexual assault and drugging patrons (real classy). Binghamton is basically a college town but it really lacks an identity - compared to a place like Ithaca one hour west of here which has a very nice commons area and is generally more pleasant thanks to the nearby finger lake, gorges, and overall effort to modernize and rejuvenate formerly dilapidated buildings. Binghamton, while it does have a few bright spots, is a mess. Johnson city feels like it’s preserved in a perpetual time capsule. I swear I grew up in a little town by comparison to them and we had a pool facility and entire middle school and elementary school replaced (mostly due to flooding for the elementary school) and they’re still in the same buildings over there built in the early 70s. They have a dying mall, and dilapidated storefronts all over the main strip heading toward Binghamton. The previously mentioned Ny-Penn trade center is the old high school and I’ve been in the basement… the toilets are no joke frightening. Yeah the building is over 100 years old but certain parts are maintained, and others are just… yuck. Avoid the basement. Avoid the whole building honestly. In fact, only go to JC if you want to look at a dying mall or you yourself are dying because they have 2 of the biggest hospitals in the city or just beyond the town line. Good old Endicott, where you would be mistaken to think you’d be safer in than Binghamton, is just sorry. Home of IBM, who literally poisoned the city from illegal dumping of chemicals, left a crumbling building complex and toxic plume in their wake. The former glory of Endicott was Washington Ave, where in the 70s was lush with beautiful storefronts and embodies the American dream. Now it’s half empty, buildings in disrepair, and until a year ago had a motel on the corner I’d rather sleep on the streets before going into. They mercifully tore that down and there are rumblings of a revitalization attempt. Given the whole toxic plume thing, it’s lipstick on a pig. The Jones boys all went to high school here for a short while.
  20. I don’t think he deserves a spot on the wall. I do think his beard should be preserved in a glass case, however
  21. I think, all around, we are solid. Honesty I think if we somehow get Klein back we are set at MLB depth. That’s one of my bigger concerns if Edmunds misses time. Obviously we want our corners to play well and may be depending on a rookie CB to step up in a big way for a few weeks while we easy White back in. WR depth is not necessarily a co cern but who can we see taking major snaps should Gabe or Steph miss any significant time? I love Shakir and think he may turn into a Gabe Davis - level pick (sneaky good), but he may need some time to get to speed. Safety depth is my next big one. Obviously Poyer is a major part of the game, and I hope we smooth out a contract situation soon (2-3 years at most) because, while scheme plays a part, he is legit one of our stand out players on D. We need to be ready, this year or next, to address our safeties. We really have a solid roster, and we don’t have any glaring weakness in my opinion. Let’s just win this year and then figure out where to go next year once we hoist the Lombardi.
