    5 most underrated pizzerias in WNY

    in Off the Wall

    Posted

    Grew up on that West Seneca/Depew Santora's. To the point I will never forget 668-3355. One of the few phone numbers I have memorized in the age of cell phones.

     

    I'll also throw a vote in for Pizza Heist in Depew/Lancaster. That's my family's go-to nowadays.

    Building him up. McDermott knows what he’s doing. I’m sure Claypool is working his butt off but McDermott is trying to get the best out of him by boosting up his confidence.

     

    This is exactly how I read it and kudos to McD for adapting different leadership styles per player personality. Management through the media, and giving him praise to boost his confidence and get even more dedication and buy-in.

    Historical Fiction: How would drought coaches have fared with Josh Allen?

    Marrone and that Defense in 2014 definitely make the playoffs, maybe even the Super Bowl, with Josh.

    Yeah, gotta think the teams coached by Marrone with Allen as QB would have had the same record because he didn't want to develop a rookie QB so Orton still would have been the starter. Put 2023 Allen on that team and they win the SB with Schwartz as their DC.

     

    Marrone didnt want to develop a QB... from one of the worst QB classes of all time in 2013.

     

    I think given a talent like Josh, who was a top 10 pick in one of the more hyped classes, Doug would have coached him.

    I will give you reasons why its not dumb

     

    #1.. One more injury away

    #2 Leverage 

    #3 his value goes down do to performance.

    #4 Another QB gets signed lower than what he wanted $ wise with same talent. 

    #5 Their star WR's get injured or their line badly injured and in doing so his stats severely drop

     

    i could continue but uh... you have gotten grilled enough on your post :D

     

     

    Those are all reasons he should sign whatever deal Miami has offered him.

     

    Tua is dumb if he plays this year without a new deal. But if he sits out and Miami lets him walk, his value wont be great either.

     

    Just make a deal already.

    Tua holding out?

    Dumb for him to hold out. I'm sure Miami's FO really doesnt want to give him $50-60M/year.

     

    Maybe that's the issue. The offers from the Dolphins are lower than he expected.

     

    If I were the Dolphins, I'd let him walk. But as a Bills fan I hope he gets himself a big contract there.

    Buffalo Bills Schedule Discussion / Prediction Thread

    The NFL is weird.

     

    Random person on schedule committee: "What are we gonna do about the Bills games vs the Ravens, Chiefs, Lions, Texans. What primetime slot do we wanna give them?"

     

    Mike North: "Pssh, those games? Primetime? We're gonna do Jags vs Bills on MNF, baby. That's got primetime written all over it

     

    Random person on schedule committee: "and the overseas games? The one main game in that timeslot. What are we gonna do?"

     

    Mike North: "Giants vs Panthers, baby. Ratings blockbuster"

     

    Someone take the pipe from these guys

     

    There might be some logic behind the thinking of "No one will watch Giants/Panthers if it is up against all the other games, so we need to schedule it as the only game on at that time."

     

    Same with giving us the Jags instead of Ravens, Lions, Texans. Those games will dominate ratings even if they are up against 12 other games. No need to waste Prime Time slots on games that already get ratings.

     

    I dont know. I pulled that out of my ass. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

    What will happen with Knox?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    He willingly took a big paycut this year to get his cap hit down to $7.7M. That's just a little more than we paid Harty last year, and I expect him to produce more than Harty did.

     

    He is absolutely TE2. Or "Old School TE 1" in that, while Kincaid is listed as a TE, I expect him split out and running routes while Knox lines up with the OL.

     

    I'd bet he'd be willing to rework his entire contract, and take a cut on annual cash if we extended the years.

    Chiefs Bills Playoff Replay / Bass Kicking

    Once again, we don’t have all the information, so I’m not sure what the HC has faith in. I can’t judge the kicker or the HC based upon mere speculation. Was he dinged up? Did he develop the yips? I don’t know what the problem was. I just hope Bass comes back 100% healthy and returns to his old form. 

     

    Cant judge on mere speculation, that's for sure. And I dont know about any injury.

     

    But there were definitely some classic McD situational weird decisions in the beginning of the season that could have easily knocked the kid off track. The Denver game comes to mind, although I dont remember the exact situation. I remember being frustrated with his decisions on when to not just take the easy points, but then later on throw Bass out there on a long kick he clearly was not going to make.

     

     

    Bills Director of Player Personnel Terrance Gray Declines Interview Opportunity With the Patriots

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I'm a big proponent/supporter of the Rooney Rule, and will almost always argue that every chance to interview is worth it alone. Especially for up and coming coaches to grow their network.

     

    But this situation is unique. It's no secret who the next Pats GM will be (Wolfe), and at this point, no one wants to help the Pats organization. And if potential (non)candidates want to turn them down, so be it.
