  1. He can't play safety in this league. He's got a better chance of tending goal for the Sabres.
  2. For a multitude of reasons, the worst Bills player of all time was Drew Bledsoe.
  3. I pulled one off the shelf last night (Skinny Legs and All) because I hadn't read him in quite a while. My gawd, I had forgotten how brilliant and talented that man was. I can't think of any writer in the history of this country that has ever produced more creative and thoughtful prose. A genuine force of nature.
  4. I only watch TV about twice a year so I am utterly unqualified to declare what is "good", but being stuck on the living room floor for a couple days with a newly spayed pup had me reaching for the remote and I ended up watching a show called American Primeval. Set in the mid 1800's in the Utah territory it's a dark and violent take on the three way conflict that took place between the natives, the Mormons and the US government. While it's vicious and depressing and makes you want to punch 100 people in the face, I still thought it was a pretty damned good watch.

  6. Nekulturny Philistines!
  7. Farewell to one of America's most skilled and original writers. When you hit that dock, I hope you earned the ticket to the boat labeled "Hell" with all the rich food, music, margaritas and dancing girls. 🤙 A bevy of Robbins' quotes
  8. There is no way he has the hips or feet to play out on the corner in this league; the athletes are too good and the offenses too quick.
  9. He's not a cornerback, he's a nickelback. It's a different role; see Taron Johnson.
  10. I wasn't referring to the inside Nickel role; I meant actual corner. If Pete was passing off the nickelback as an actual corner, then he was being kinda shady to make a point, imo.
  11. #1 - There is zero chance Cooper DeJean can play CB in this league. Ze-ro. #2- Safeties are a dime a dozen in the modern NFL, WR's are not. That is the reason Coleman was taken before DeJean. #3- You have no idea whatsoever what we have in Cole Bishop yet. #4- If their situations were reversed and Dejean had suffered an injury during the Bills camp that set him back, you would currently be lamenting the fact that the Bills had taken him when they could have instead taken a WR and had Cole Bishop 20 picks later.
  12. Both Kincaid and Coleman have been legitimate contributors; just not in the way that your unrealistic expectations wanted.

  14. Congrats! But people are asking you to tell them what your name is just to check whether senility is setting in.
  15. Or maybe you should have stopped before you started. We have a nice place here; please stop dragging gutpiles and stinkbombs into it. If you hate the media/Twitter nonsense so much, then what on Earth would possess you to bring it in here just to complain about it, so that you can make everybody else have to hear about both it and your complaints as well? We can do better.
  16. How do I make my towel 10" long? Fold it in half!
  17. Is it really though? He's been in the league seven years on a top shelf team and has only gotten fatter and lazier and now somebody is going to give him even more money. How is he he going to look after hanging out in LA for a few years with 300 million dollars in his pocket?
  18. I don't watch the Jets enough to have a legitimate "Reed" on this. But the last time I saw him vs the Bills he was just gawdawful. Buffalo intentionally went after him and he was a complete pigeon out there.
  19. Immediately following the season where he showed up at camp in the best shape of his life
  20. #1 - I said "probably" #2- Watch him staring down the LBs on his drop, seeing if they chase the drag or the flag. I think he had decided presnap he wanted Shakir on the flare and when the LB's didn't bite he had to come off it. Then he realized the protection was blown and tried to bail to his right. It was only then that he finally realized the corner was coming and he had no escape route on that side and it was too late to do anything but heave a prayer to the zone the corner had vacated. By that point he'd run out of time and space and couldn't set up to get the ball where it should have gone.
  21. Late to recognize the corner blitz. Probably because he was so focused on his presnap decision to get Shakir the ball out of the orbit motion that he didn't finally realize what was happening until he had run himself into a dead end and had to chuck up a prayer.
  22. They didn't have any trouble scoring fast at the end of the first half when they went 75 yrds for a TD in 1:30. Or at the end of the first half of the Ravens game when they went 70 yrds for a TD in under 3:30. And they didn't need to score fast vs the Chiefs. There were 3:30 minutes left, the 2 minute warning and they had three TO's in their pocket. If anything they were likely going to have to burn some clock at the other end. Yet they somehow completely ignored the best weapon on their offense because they felt panicky and rushed. This is more of a coaching issue than any perceived lack of downfield threat, imo.
  23. It's even weirder that you think the only active mod on a board with thousands of posters can be here every second of every day and see every post that is made.
