Bill from NYC

Glen Falls Tavern.

Funny stuff! My advice is to let her do exactly as she pleases. If she suggests that you go to a knitting party at her mother's house on Super Bowl Sunday, go for it. With young kids, divorces cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Trust me. And while anything can still happen, at least you will have done your part to make things work for as long as possible. Besides, she also sounds like a good mom and a nice person.

I spent July 6-9 in Williamsville NY. We visited Niagara Falls. The AC was on in my room the entire time. In fact, a restaurant that we went to on Main Street was so hot we had to move to a table away from the window. Living down state, AC is an absolute must. I would be absolutely miserable without it but like I say, I would totally need it up in Buffalo as well.

So did Donte Whitner.

Even at 9-7, trading up might really not be necessary in the 2020 draft. Alabama has no less than 3 splendid receivers and from what I understand there are lots of other top notch wide receivers that will be draft eligible. This might be the best draft for wide receivers that I have ever seen, or so it would seem.

Wasn't he also 8-5 with the Bears? I do wonder how he would do today. The defenders are faster and even taller so I have my doubts.....

Not necessarily. There is always the chance of injury which of course we also don't hope for. I am hoping for lots of wins and Devonta Smith late in round 1.

If the Bills were to draft Jeudy, you would soon be one of the happiest people on the planet.

I agree and disagree. Marino threw 40 yard square outs. I saw him throw one at RWS. We can hate him all we want but the guy was incredible and an all time great.. Elway was a mega talented QB who was one of the best athletes to ever play. A few QBs who could throw 65 or 70 yard strikes got carried away and took to many risks. Elway fell into that category for a while. Imo he was a better QB when he learned to mix it up more and run the ball with Terrell Davis. He was top 10 imo.

He was as tough as nails but I am sure that he would readily admit that he should have taken better care of himself. And do let me add that I am NOT judging him. Who knows how I would have acted having been in his situation.

Nice take 33. I never thought of it in that context. Sorry, but I was never a huge fan of Levy. He was great at soothing egos and that was important, but I think he left a lot to be desired as a football strategist and I am being kind.

And in a very classy move by Coach Gibbs, the Skins downed the ball down deep in our territory at the end of that game.

I am sure that he had a role in his signing. Calvin Ridley raved about Wallace. The team knew that he could play.

I don't think so. He defended sending 360 pound Dareus into pass coverage.

Remember the poster who seemed pretty intelligent, yet he used stats to "prove" that Rex Ryan was a great coach?

When Foster was at Bama, Jalen Hurts was the QB. Jalen is a decent (not great) passer. Calvin Ridley was the primary receiver and was usually open by a mile, even against top SEC secondaries. Additionally, the Tide had very good blockers, mega talented TEs, and a stable full of running backs. Now toss in an injury or 2 and Foster wasn't going to get many snaps. Given the above, the fact that every single team passed on him was a surprise to many, but not completely shocking. When the Bills picked up Foster and Wallace, a few of us here who are Alabama Fans were posting that these were good players. Others said no which is no big deal. Time and again I have posted the names of players I was completely wrong about (Rob Johnson leading the parade). I suggest that you tape an Alabama game or 2 this season if for no other reason (and there are plenty), to watch their wide receivers. If you do, be sure to let me know what you think.

CB he wasn't useless at Bama. He was surrounded by superstars and it was hard for him to get the ball. If I recall correctly there were also some injuries and remember, until Tua came along Bama was primarily a running team (with 1 great receiver) for many years. I am all for keeping Foster unless a team was offering up a 1st round (or perhaps a 2nd) which is not going to happen, and this only because the 2020 draft is just chock full of receivers like we haven't seen in years. Imo there are 3 draft eligible wrs next year on Alabama who are better than Foster. Trust me on this one.

Actually, this is a fair question.

I still believe that the problem with that team was blocking. When teams would keep Flutie in the pocket our OL wasn't strong enough to run successfully, or to hold off the oncoming pass rush. It was as if the team out and out refused to provide blocking, opting mostly for defensive backs and running backs. Flutie was good at masking this deficiency but the better coaches were able to exploit it. I looked at pro football reference and checked out the Bills rosters from the Flutie years and the OL had holes big enough to drive a train through. I will never, ever understand how so many football professionals were just so neglectful and even stupid.

I'm sorry.....did my little dash of hyperbole make your head spin around to the point where you took it literally? OK, I'll rephrase it and make it easier to comprehend. Watkins (who once again I did not want the Bills to draft) is more talented than Zay at every phase of the wr position and it isn't close. The Bills seemed to agree at one point when it cost them 2 first round picks and a 4th to acquire his services. Watkins, injuries notwithstanding is a super talented wr. Jones is just ok imo, at least up until now. Jmo and once again I'm sorry for the confusion and the nervous frustration my post seem to cause.

I have no ax to grind wrt Sammy, other than the fact that I hated the trade to draft him. That said, Sammy is 10x more talented than Zay Jones at every aspect single aspect of the wide receiver position. I took guitar lessons yeas ago and still have a nice acoustic I play around with every now and then. Let us not compare me to Jerry Garcia.

I feel like he was referring to team management in his post.

Then when one reaches the top (GM), I always wondered how many owners demand a say in who gets drafted. I am 100% certain that when Paul Allen owned the Seahawks, he had zero input. He didn't even personally attend owners meetings. Otoh, I am sure that Mr. Wilson was way too involved with the football side. Remember when he said that he needed to become "more involved?" Oy! Fwiw if I hit the powerball a few times and purchase an NFL Team I will hire you, but I will demand some input in the draft. The people running the drafts for the Bills have left me with PTSD.

My thing is that the quality of a draft isn't only determined by who you draft, but also who you passed on. Levy admitted to numerous trade down offers and passed on HUGE talent (much of it at positions of dire need) in order to draft Whitner, an undersized safety (who btw held out and had off field issues). Whitner was weak in coverage and while he was generally OK in run support, he would also get pancaked from time to time. He went on to collect 36 million dollars from the Bills and it all counted towards the cap. Whitner was one of the dumbest picks I have ever seen but what were we to expect from the absolute worst Head Coach/GM teams that ever existed in the NFL?

My biggest meltdown was Donte Whitner. Spiller and McKelvin were close but Whitner was traumatizing.
