Bill from NYC

John, we have known each other for years. We can all be a bit abrasive, no? My take is that this site is great because of the differing views, not in spite of them.

OMG! I picture Allen hitting a wide open Jeudy with 50 yard strikes.

LOL it might. That said, I do repeat my suggestion that by looking over his posts, the possibility that you will learn something does exist. Be well!!!

Serious question.....are you going to provide us with some pertinent comments or are you here to critique a poster who has been here for decades, and may have forgotten more than you will ever know about football. I suggest that you read his posts, evaluate them, and perhaps learn something, or at the very least, consider a point of view that doesn't necessarily coincide with yours. If you want to read nothing but rah-rah type posts, you might consider signing onto some of these "grade school" sites about which you speak instead of coming here with the sole intent of insulting our members.

Cody Ford, by far. It has been way too long since the Bills had solid players on the right side of the OL. We desperately needed a strong, talented, nasty blocker and we will win more games if this kid is the real deal.

Would the 500K signing bonus make it tough to release Yeldon or is that too little to care about.

Yes because Jauron had him lining up so wide he was close to the sideline on some plays. He would also put him in coverage when he was virtually the only good pass rusher on the team. These were horrible days for the Bills. He produced quite a bit for us, can you imagine him with good players around him? Hansen had Bruce playing the other side. Schobel had Kelsay.

You left out that he hit as hard as a truck. Where did I say that I want him to come down? It is just my opinion that Schobel was a better defensive end. Phil was an excellent player who I appreciated watching.

Absolutely! There were times when he was the only good pass rusher on the team. He was always doubled and still made plays with his blazing speed. I can only imagine what his stats would look like on a better team with better coaching. I fully agree. Hansen was very good but he played alongside of great pass rushers such as Bruce Smith and Bryce Paup.

I'm sorry.....I thought that my post indicated as much.

I can never be resigned to the thought of trading away a Hall of Fame left tackle. Imo Jason Peters was one of the best players in Bills history and I certainly do agree that sure was a great move by the Bills to grab him from the Giants practice squad.

I don't like them at this point. Imo Maher isn't like listening to the Dead. I think that Furthur was great with John Kadlecik. He still plays with Fellowship of the Wing with Jeff Chementi. My only complaint with Furthur was that they were letting Lesh sing (he even was singing "Eyes of the World") and he was awful. The man couldn't sing live 40 years ago.

As for the bolded, how could we expect fans NOT to get mad? EJ was just lousy but a case could be made that Whitner was "good." Gilmore is considered "very good" (although I don't think he was that great in Buffalo). The thing is, how many games did these 3 combined win us. How often did any of them just take over a game and lead us to victory. Hating a player as an individual is much different than hating the second rate, losing draft strategy we had for many years. Maybe in 2019, Oliver and Ford will be productive and dominate their opponents so we can win football games. 2 and 3 are right on the money.

The NYC PBA, DEA, and all of the other unions do NOT solicit. They never have and the PBA in particular has millions of dollars in the treasury. When generous citizens call and ask to donate money, the Widows and Orphans Fund will accept it but that is it. These "charities" who call and solicit are scamming you. PS: Decades ago, Yoko Ono, during a fiscal crisis, donated money to NYC (not the police unions) to purchase bulletproof vests for police officers.

Agreed. The Dolphins otoh really should suck.

Sure but it signals to me that it is harder to get guards than many think. I mean the man is very ill and they are taking a chance on him, however small. Bill Parcells once said that it was harder to find a good guard than a wide receiver in the draft. I do not know this to be true but I heard him say it.

The 89 tour was just so freaking good. Jerry looked sober, especially in the summer shows in the east. Brent was also fantastic.

This is an interesting point of view. Imo, other than health, it boils down to Allen's head because he has unbelievable tools. Josh has a Ryan Mallet arm (quite the compliment), and he is an excellent runner. That is some combination! If he can figure the game out he is going to be tough to stop. Perhaps Oliver is in a situation that is a bit similar. He looks to have absolutely tremendous talent but who did he play against? We need to develop both players, keep them healthy, and win football games.

Not enough love for Jerry Garcia. Jerry smoked pot and cigarettes and was an alcoholic. He was diabetic and ate everything in sight. He was a heroin addict and who knows how much cocaine he snorted. He probably tripped on acid thousands of times and I think that he still lived until he was 53 or so. There will always be people playing Jerry's music. RIP.

I was also never known for my optimism lol! Wrt Daboll, I feel like we have seen what this man is capable of.....on other teams. I think that given some time we are going to really appreciate him.

I can't say that I understand why you are so rough on Daboll. Some of the best coaches in history saw fit to hire him. The Bills provided him with: 1) A rookie qb. 2) A terrible offensive line. 3) A sub-par running attack. 4) Lousy wide receivers. 5) Poor tight ends. 6) Peterman. I could go on. Despite the above, the Bills managed to win some games. I might join you after this year if Daboll doesn't improve the offense. He does seem to have much more to work with. I think that he deserves another year.

I'm sorry, I really did think that you were trolling. Tua is VERY accurate and has a very good arm. Do you like "process" guys? Nick Saban invented the term and he LOVES this kid. Tua said that chose Alabama because he would get the most exposure and he wants to build his father (a minister) a church. I have actually seen him put his arm around Saban. NOBODY does that, and Saban talks about what a great kid he is. He sees the field like nobody else in the NCAA in terms of reading defenses and is really smart. He has a strong lower body and can run. Is he clutch? You tell me. He came into a championship game in the 2nd half as a true freshman, with his team down, and getting beat. He brought them back to a tie and the Bama kicker missed a chip shot FG for the win, forcing the game into OT. Georgia scored a FG. It was looking so, SO bad. And then this:

What exactly does +500 mean?

He didn't have a good game and the team he faced was the better team that day. Are you actually dumb enough to suggest that Tua cannot produce in the clutch, or just being a troll?

He really is and 3 of them will be draft eligible and they are stars. One of the (Ruggs) is actually faster than Foster, perhaps even by quite a bit. I want nothing more than for the Bills to draft one of these 3.
