Rock-A-Bye Beasley

I can’t imagine caring about that taunting penalty enough to post about it

Edmunds is and has always been embarrassingly bad

I’m actually more concerned with their unwillingness to trade picks for established players now that we have the star QB in place. As many have said in this thread, the hit rate on draft picks just isn’t good so getting an established above-average player in exchange for one is good value.

Q: What’s the last resort of a McDermott defender? A: “ok well then who else would you want to be head coach!” Remember this list next time you say that or someone says it to you. 2 coaches ahead of him on this list were hired recently. That’s not including Daboll or other young coaches that are having success.

Edmunds got 18 mil per and he still sucks. Sometimes players are overvalued by other teams. Tyrod is another example and we got a 2nd for him (or was it the 1st pick in the 3rd? Can’t remember) we also got a 5th for mike gillislee and that turned into Matt Milano.

Ojomo or vorhees

Seems like not many receivers drafted overall

Another trade down?

Commanders picked the espn ranked 137th best player at 137

Take McClendon or vorhees and then trade up for one of the fast receivers. Shouldn’t cost much.

Duncan and McClendon. just remembered G Vorhees is still available too.

There are 2 OTs i think could compete for RT1. Plenty of WRs too. I like Palmer and Ford-Wheaton

I would’ve preferred Anton Harrison (a full time player) and the 4th rd pick, but I’m glad it’s a pass catcher and not DT. I hope they were trying to trade up for one of the WRs

I’m more than thrilled we have Josh. But Until he figured out the deep ball I thought passing on Mahomes was an epic blunder. It still is technically on paper but I wouldn’t swap as crazy as that sounds to some outside of bills fans im more interested in this alternate universe where Mahomes is sitting behind Tyrod in 2018. Instead of peterman coming in it’s Mahomes? Instead of Tyrod against the Jags scoring 3 points it’s Mahomes? Do they get to the Super Bowl that year considering how close the Jags got?

id do it for our past 1st 2nd and 3rd rounders. Oliver, Basham/Epenesa, and Moss, oh I mean Brown or Terrell Bernard. Should be more than enough

Trey Palmer moro Ojomo

the Bills can win a Super Bowl. The Eagles fired Andy Reid then went on to win a Super Bowl years later. They then fired the coach that was there when they won the SB, and we’re able to pretty quickly get back to the SB and lost a close game to Andy Reid. oh and Sean McDermott is no Andy Reid

With Edmunds, Oliver, Epenesa, and Basham not exactly panning out the Bills will be able to go all-in this year and next because there’s no more internal players getting big extensions until maybe Rousseau then Elam in 3-4 years. I really hope this happens

I believe you, but I’ll say Josh could have an entire bad season and I’d still feel better about him than the coach, who I’ve been saying is a liability for years already

allen is the only reason these coaches are still employed

We were heavily out-coached in both playoff games. This team has the talent that is going to have to overcome the coach to win it all

And how does winning the dolphins game by 3 effect how we view the team? if Thompson is able to get a 1st down at midfield or waddle doesn’t have 2 big drops we are talking about one of the worst losses in team history

I agree with the overall sentiment here, but a couple things: 1) The State putting $600mil toward the stadium is what I meant by investing in Buffalo. Currently it's scheduled to go to Orchard Park. Still a win for upstate, but I think a wasted opportunity. 2) I never said bars, restaurants and shopping are unique to Buffalo. Not sure if you were implying that. 3) Yes, Buffalo is never going to be a top destination city. I think you're overstating what I think a downtown stadium would do. To me it's just trying to build some semblance of a respectable city center. Not saying the stadium would have done that all by itself. 4) I left Buffalo not too long after college, came back briefly then left again, but I am 100% for a stadium downtown.

Well the study says most fans spending at these stadiums are local. If you're contending that point, fine I guess. Buffalo is more spread out than most cities. I'm saying even someone coming from as close as East Aurora might get a hotel and dinner/shopping outside the stadium. Not to mention the Canadians wanting to drink during the game and not have to cross the border immediately after. So even if the benefit is minimal it's still a unique case compared to most of the stadiums studied.

You and others keep parroting this. However, I think it’s misguided. Buffalo is a unique situation, and the comprehensive study on the impact of football stadiums on economies doesn’t directly apply. reasons they say the economic impact is negligible for the stadiums studied: ”As for the rosy economic projections conjured up to support stadium subsidies? They are doomed by design. Easy-to-observe spending on tickets, concessions, and other related consumption in and around stadiums comes largely from local residents who were already spending their income locally. A family that buys hot dogs, peanuts, and popcorn at the game would have otherwise spent that money at some other local business, perhaps going out to dinner or a movie. Stadiums don’t boost host economies, because stadium-related spending mostly isn’t new spending. It’s the same spending reallocated to a different location.” You tell me, does that sound like Buffalo? a lot of Buffalo’s problems are due to how spread out everything is. People are traveling from all over the region and Canada to the middle of nowhere for games currently. Hopefully you can agree that putting the stadium near other attractions and hotels would capture more tourist and local spending. If not, then I suspect this is a clear case of confirmation bias. You didn’t want a downtown stadium, then you heard about a study, and now you won’t stop talking about it. Also, all of the stadiums studied don’t share the state with the largest city in the country. Getting the state to invest more in Buffalo is a good thing. Otherwise that money is just going to build another courthouse in Brooklyn or something.
