Bill from NYC

Richie is doing well. He goes up for games and will be at the opener.

It just sucks to lose one of the old crew. We were a much smaller group so things were more intimate. Posters really did share good times and bad together. The thing is, it is such a good site that it kept growing and growing. One lesson the years have taught me is that sometimes we don't realize what good times we are having. May God rest her soul and comfort her friends and loved ones during these times of sorrow.

Wonderful.

I agree with this post except the bolded. I would prefer a RT to be a bit more of a bruiser but that is jmo. What I will day is that if you are correct about Jonah playing at the level of a Matthews (or better), Oliver will have to be an excellent player (he very well might be) for this to have been a smart pick for the Bills. It will be interesting to watch this play out. How do you want him to feel?

It is very interesting. They must really like Jonah Williams.

This is another player who squandered his God given talent. Imo if this kid had his head on straight he would have been the absolute best ILB in the NFL.

Are you trying to deny that the coaches ruined poor EJ?

I remember hearing something about this.

That is almost how I feel. I think that he does (or did) have NFL talent but he may have already squandered it. In the thread about EJ, I made the point about how I still think that RJ was a mega talent who just could not produce at the NFL level and he really tried. With Kelly, my bet is that his opportunity came and went.

Agreed, and I am not saying this with malice. Some very good college QBs are just not good enough to make it in the NFL. Hey, Rob Johnson had a much better arm than Tom Brady and he could run but he was a horrible QB. I am the first to admit that for years, I thought that Johnson would figure things out and make use of all of his talent but it was never going to happen, and he was WAY more talented than EJ.

Do you think that one yolk would have less cholesterol than the other?

Indeed.

Oh it really is Doc. There will be wide receivers all over rounds 1 & 2.

I thought that Artie was 10x funnier than Jackie. Jmo. The best part of the show were people like Crazy Alice and Elegant Elliot Offen. The best interview I ever heard was the nut who kept saying, "Oprah Winfrey, ***** woman of the south." The show was the greatest show ever in those days. Now, the show consists of Robin whining about President Trump and mostly boring guests. That said, the phone calls are still great.

Jonas Jennings and Jason Taylor. Walker took about a week to get out of his stance. He was awful.

https://thebronxbrewery.com/ I have tried a couple of their beers and they were both very good. I do prefer the Coney Island Merman but I am sure you will be happy.

You are correct, but one exception is when Anheuser Busch bought a Long Island Brewery called "Blue Point." They maintained the quality and make a beer called "Toasted Lager." While not spectacular, it is certainly far superior to any of the mainstream beers. A nice beer to try is made by the Coney Island Brewery called "Merman." It is a very smooth IPA and is only 5.8% so you can drink 2 or 3without getting plastered. Believe it or not, NYC has excellent water because it comes from upstate reservoirs. There are several good micro breweries in places such as Brooklyn and the Bronx.

Great post! The fascinating part imo is how we Bills Fans employ different coping mechanisms. I tend to keep my expectations low and rejoice when they don't draft first round defensive backs or running backs. The last 2 drafts may or may not work out, but at least they put us on a path where it will be possible to win games. Keeping my expectations low helps to prevent me getting as angry as I used to.

No prob. And thanks oh so much to the great state of Michigan for giving their electoral votes to President Donald J. Trump in 2016, despite the democrat votes of dead people, etc.

You make a great deal of sense. Obama had it right. Give the worst offenders (India and China) 20 or 30 years to voluntarily make changes, and punish US companies and consumers a few billion so thieves like Gore and the Clintons can get rich. This, as the world is cooling off. I am stunned that there is 1 person who doesn't parrot your sensible, patriotic position on this issue. Thanks for enlightening us.

I believe what you are saying but I don't get the reasoning. Wouldn't the NFL being a passing league seem to dictate more importance to a Right Tackle? D Linemen stunt all the time looking for a mismatch. Additionally, with the LBs and perhaps even the safeties getting smaller, wouldn't a big, stud RT also be more effective in the running game? I never thought Mills was that good but Ford looks to me like a very good player. Even if his floor is to be an excellent RG I am fine with this. Jmo.

I would pass on him in a split second. Everything that this team needs is in the 2020 draft. There are probably at least 5 receivers who are better than any who came out in 2019. We have a QB who can throw the ball 5 miles through a brick wall. Let's get him some receivers! I wish that we had even more picks in 2020. Jmo.

I would be 100% against a trade like this and probably wouldn't even part with a 2nd. The 2020 draft is just that good.
