  1. To be fair, the Thrashers were a hard team to like, unlike the Flames, which were a rowdy bunch and easy to root for.
  2. I live in Atlanta. When I wear my goathead Sabres' sweater and get odd stares, I just nod my head and say, "yes, I'm a satanist."
  3. Proofreading edit.
  4. I advocated drafting him, so I'm not really someone who was ever in the skeptical crowd. I do want to see how Allen does, along with the rest of the team, against top level teams like Pats*, Cowboys, etc.
  5. Have not seen you posting in the Josh Allen threads. Have you altered your initial views or still pessimistic?
  6. Your moniker is almost TLDR, but you're a good poster, so we'll allow it.
  7. Or maybe Allen has 350 yards, 5 TDs and we're up 42 - 10. Dream big, fella.
  8. If Allen is a franchise qb, he's got enough to end up a good to great coach, because he's got the D side covered.
  9. Time to break out the 300 plus yards, 4 or 5 TDs game Josh.
  10. Your fan card is being revoked.
  11. So does contemptible behavior.
  12. Haven't read the other thread, eh? Choir boy is definitely out.
  13. Well, either it is a passive aggressive way of being snide about Allen or, more likely, the OP was about building strength in the middle of the O and D line as the proper way to build a team. In that case, qb just doesn't factor in, even if one thinks Allen is the most important piece.
  14. Who knew borg are dim about football?
  15. The modern academy is corrupt and creates degrees that often glorify the inane, if not the perverse. That does not devalue the authentic meaning behind the liberal arts. The point of a life devoted to contemplation, to meaning beyond the merely pragmatic, is to foster in human society the understanding that limited goods are ordered towards a transcendent end that does not fit into utilitarian calculations. A society that does not know this may be technologically sophisticated, but it is nonetheless barbarism. Civilization always required the sage, the saint, the artist to constantly remind folks to look beyond the time-consuming, arduous aspects of simply making a living towards renewed wonder. It's easy to laugh at folks who are today inclined towards the liberal arts as entitled snowflakes and the like, and students today are indulged and often also at the same time victims of indoctrination and prisoners of ideology. Authentic liberal arts actually protect one from that kind of mental straightjacket. Ultimately, the liberal arts are liberating because they do not aim to solve the world's problems. They keep one open to a dimension of beauty and mystery that is elemental and often lost amidst first world noise and third world misery.
  16. Scott Law grudgingly updating his projected win total from five to six.
  17. Well, I'm not advocating for a whole wr corps of lumbering bigs, but okay, if I had to choose, I'd choose speed as well. Don't see that it has to be just that, though as others have argued, perhaps you just use a te for the role I foresee for Williams.
  18. I think I understand your point. The NFL may indeed no longer value that skill set and perhaps most teams think of that player as a dinosaur. I was told Sweeney would have been a second or third round pick a generation ago because he was a prototypical te for a bygone era. Nonetheless, he seems to carry value even today. Maybe Williams is Hunter redux. I stubbornly believe this Bills' team could use a receiver like that, even if to the rest of the league that is an anachronistic assessment.
  19. Seems to me a WR who makes contested catches, has sufficient size to be RZ threat, and is a good blocker is a reasonable skill set. Whether other teams value that or not, it's something I think the Bills could use.
  20. Depends on if Seattle makes the playoffs their inaugural season, in which case it will be a tie. Outside chance the Sabres make it this year.
  21. You are the Scott Law of Sabres' posters. The team fumbled the rebuild, but they have a fair chance to be quite good in a few years. They are certainly not the worst team in all of sports.
