Bill from NYC

I don't know, is he? Since 2014 he reached the 1,000 yard plateau all of once (with 1,003). His other totals were 696, 517, 299, and 715. These totals don't meet my definition of an "absolute stud." I like him, don't get me wrong but I don't think of him as a true #1. After what seems like a million years, the Bills used their best resources on a quarterback. We need to give him better tools to work with. If you think Brown is great, imagine him as a #2.

Yeah....I'll take it a step further and say that we also need to draft a running back.

We have a young quarterback who has an absolute cannon. We drafted him at #7. He has a group of receivers that are mediocre at best. I'm sorry, I can't wrap myself around how improving the receiving corps is not our top need. For years and years I have been on this board screaming and begging for blockers. Not any longer whereas talented receivers is a dire, make or break need for this team. Jmo.

The Harris Teeter in NC did remind me a bit of Wegmans in that both are clearly superior to downstate supermarkets. This summer I was in the Wegmans in Williamsville and actually found a 4 pack of 16 ounce Collective Arts Life in the Clouds IPA. I think it cost me 13 or 14 dollars too but who cares? THAT is what I call a super market!!!

If all you got to live for, Is what you left behind, Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine. Lost my boots in transit babe, A pile of smoking leather. Nailed a retread to my feet, and prayed for better weather.

How do you like Harris Teeter? There is one near my daughter in VA that I would consider good, and one in a NC suburb of Charlotte that I have been to many times and am more impressed with.

Oh, I hear ya. We all do have a right to be impatient too after all of these years. I think that with a few smart moves, 2020 can be a HUGE year for us. I am NOT giving up on this season but I do wonder if Josh has the right tools.

Sorry BB but imo there is no DT who is worth a 1st and a 4th, and if there was one he would not be 31 years old. We desperately need quality receivers, and I am not sold on Green at too high a price either. In the 2020 draft, high quality WRs will be falling from the sky. We need a running back too. We should absolutely stock our QB with quality weapons and see how good he is, and we can do this. It is fun blaming Daboll for all of our ills but the truth is that we have a young, inexperienced QB who lacks the proper supporting cast. Jmo.

Your point is taken but do you put Josh in a class with Manuel? I'm not sure that EJ would have played well if he had Randy Moss and Jerry Rice on his team.

Where are you getting this? They are 2-2 in their last 4 meetings.

I can't say it enough.....the 2020 class at WR will be the best in many years, if not the best I have ever seen. I don't even think that it will be possible to ignore the WR position. This group is SO good that if Levy/Jauron were running the team, they might even draft one instead of an undersized defensive back.

Tua, hands down and he has a title to prove it.

1) Oklahoma: Exposed. 48 points given up to a so-so team? This conference is a joke. Oklahoma doesn't play anybody good and this includes Texas, an inferior team to Texas A&M. If Ohio State didn't make the playoffs after giving up huge points to a nobody, why should Oklahoma get in? Hurts is a good kid and he went through hell getting benched but Saban chose the right quarterback. Jalen looks great on the Sooners but the team is an imposter. Again, they don't play any top teams. 2) Penn State: They look strong and balanced. They have more to prove but I am not seeing anything that I don't like. I am going to pay more attention to them. 3) Notre Dame: Not enough info. I don't think that they belong in the playoffs under any conditions, but they lost to a good Georgia team and an ugly road game in horrible conditions. They don't seem to be elite just yet. 4) Alabama: Good looking team with many questions. Best receivers I have ever in my life seen on a college team. Their biggest challenges were South Carolina and Texas A&M on the road and they played well. Too many freshmen on defense. Schedule from here on is brutal. The score last night didn't totally reflect the game. Arkansas made many mental errors and Bama capitalized on them. That is what Saban does but will the good teams coming up make mistakes? The Tide can win but it will be a long, grueling road and is FAR from certain. 5) Ohio State At this point, I think that Ohio State deserves to be#1. I don't watch them all that much but I don't see and weak spots. I would like to see more of their quarterback but again, this appears to be a extremely talented and well balanced team. 6) Wisconsin: Exposed. They had a nice run but failed to show up for 2 straight weeks. The team is good, but not elite. I love their style of football too but they were just overmatched vs. Ohio State. 7) LSU: They look tough. The QB is better than I thought. He took some very hard hits last night and got right up. Delpit looks like a great player at safety, probably the best db in the country and their DL line is big and strong. If they can beat Alabama on the road they deserve the #1 spot imo. 8 Clemson: They look like solved some problems but they just don't play anybody. That is great in terms of decreasing the chance of injuries. Dabo admits to playing almost his entire team every week. The thing is, he can because of his weak opponents. It isn't fair but that's the way it is. They are very well situated to go far in the weeks ahead imo. Note: As always, the above are just my thoughts, opinions, and comments. They are not intended to be taken as all knowing proclamations.

OK, what would your top offer be in a year with a draft that is chock full of wide receivers?

Very good point. There could also be some middle ground with him playing his best for just a few games. I think that man is great. My issue is how much to give up.

I've been gambling hereabouts, For ten good solid years. If I told you all that went down, It would burn off both your ears. Goes to show, you don't ever know. Watch each card you play, and play it slow. Wait until your deal come round, And don't you let that deal go down, no.

I must respectfully and strenuously disagree. The 2020 draft is just too plentiful at talented WRs to give up picks like that imo.

Green is a great receiver. My one and only worry with him is how much he would care about this season when he stands to make untold guaranteed millions as a ufa. I think that whether or not he would go all out is a tossup. Next year might be the deepest wide receiver draft I have ever seen. We might be able to pick up 2 very good wrs. if we keep our picks. Indeed, a tough call for Beane.

All through this long and sleepless night I hear my neighbors talking (She don't love him) Saying that out of my life Into another's arms you'll soon be walking Somebody shake me, wake me when it's over Somebody tell me that I'm dreamin' And wake me when its over

In your scenario, would signing him to an extension be a prerequisite?

How many years are left on his contract? How is his health? If he IS healthy it might be a disadvantage for the Bengals to play him and risk him getting hurt. I know that sounds odd, but it makes sense. The Bengals are going nowhere with or without him. If they put him in, they might even win a game or 2. Is that even a good thing in terms of the draft? Lots of questions.

Gideon came in with his eyes on the floor, Says "y'ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door. Moses stood up a full six feet ten, Says "you can't close the door when the wall's caved in."

Would they get a 3rd if he leaves in free agency?

Sometimes I think that Flutie should have started the Throwback Game. Other times it seems OK that they went with RJ but I think that Ralph made the call.
