    I'm not a Facebook person

    OK, so I'm not a Facebook person.  I don't want people to "friend" me, know what I'm doing, where I've been, what I had for dinner etc.etc. Having said that, my wife IS, and just wanted to share this.  It's from the BILLS MAFIA page, in Facebook, courtesy of my wife, who while from Florida, is a BILLS fan.  I had to ask her what was so freakin funny, and this is what she showed me.  Enjoy!

    Damn PROUD!

    “I'm from Buffalo. We eat chicken wings, not buffalo wings, and we only eat them in Buffalo. We drink Labatt Blue and Molson Canadian. Mighty Taco, NOT Taco Bell. Pop, not soda They are sneakers, not tennis shoes. It's a sucker, not a lollipop. Bison Chip Dip, La Nova Pizzeria, Aunt Rosie's Loganberry, Chevettas Chicken, and Ted's Hot Dogs are all too familiar. Our bars don't close until 4, We have fake IDs at 15, but we don't need them at 19-Canada. Jim's Steak Out at 4am is calling it an early night... We never cuss, but we swear way too much. We know that a 65 mph speed limit really means 80. We will cut you off, swear, and give you the finger if you are not keeping up AND do it all in the snow, while expecting nothing less in return. Driving in the snow not only comes naturally, it's fun. We start the weekends off right at Thursdays We lived through Wide Right, The Forward Lateral, and No Goal. We love the Bills (no matter what) and accept that it takes 2 hours to get home from a game. Nothing closes in 3 feet of snow or -20 windchills... in fact, that's how we prefer to tailgate. We can correctly pronounce, spell, and identify Chippewa, Scajaquada, Lackawanna, Cheektowaga, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, without hesitation. We are 30 minutes from another country, one of the seven wonders of the world, and even a few beaches. It's the second largest city in New York. I AM FROM BUFFALO, a drinking town with a sports problem, and damn proud"

    This "chain letter" has been around way before Facebook blew up.  I can remember emailing this to my aunt and uncle when they moved to Las Vegas in 2003 :D

    Worth another look: All of Bruce's sacks

    Finally found the time to sit through and watch them all, man what an unbelievable talent Bruce was.  I remember some younger posters(at least I hope they were younger posters)trying to put Mario Williams on the same level as Bruce a few years back.  Not even close 

     

    I still get chills after every sack with the BRUUUCCCEEEEE chants 

    Anybody Else Find Themselves Less and Less Interested in the NFL?

    Some very interesting and good replies in this thread.  I can't pinpoint exactly when it started but my level of enthusiasm for the NFL as a whole has been declining more and more each season.  I haven't watched any preseason football outside of the Bills games this year.  The NFL as a product has just gone completely downhill.  The coverage is way too commercialized these days, the big hitting has been taken out of the game, the officiating is always terrible.  Somebody posted that video collection of all of Bruce Smith's sacks the other day and it was beautiful but oh so bittersweet at the same time because that's when the NFL was in it's prime and what made me fall in love with the sport.  The presentation was so much simpler back then and they used to let the players have fun, and the games were more intense with real rivlaries.  The game was for the blue collar demographic and nowadays the NFL markets itself to the mainstream and I think that has taken some of the special feelings I always had for the past-time away for me.  I still watch but can see the day where I walk away from it if things keep trending this way.  I stopped watching the NBA this year because of the circus that became.  

     

    This defense is overrated

    I wouldn't use overrated as how I would describe our defense but I would say it is still a work in progress...in the sense that there are still holes to be filled and they will continue to build it up over the next couple years.  I think we are on our way to having a legit top 5 defense but not expecting it this year.  

    Will McBeane be able to find a stud #1WR that fits the process(*future, not referring to this season*)?

    IMO, the days of needing a true "#1 WR" have essentially passed due to all of the NFL rule changes. I'm not saying the Bills don't need to continue to look at WR, but honestly, I'm more about the Defensive Line / DE in the upcoming Draft as all reports are that those are the positions of real value and depth for 2019. Add in Kyle's probable last year, Washington being whatever he ends up being and Hughes being 30 and Lawson being a question mark as well....I'll take a DE / DT in 1st - 2nd, and keep KB if stays healthy and produces even modest numbers depending on his contract demands, Coleman, Zay and probably either Phillips or Ray-Ray that make the squad. Plus Reilly - yeah, you can find good to decent WRs anywhere in the Draft. In fact, many of the really good ones were not 1st Round picks; i.e. Antonio Brown, Doug Baldwin, Michael Thomas, Keenan Allen, Jordy Nelson,  etc. And yes, I realize there are a great many good WRs Drafted in the 1st round, my point being you don't *have* to Draft one in the 1st. 

     

    If KB plays well, sign him and extend him for reasons related to continuity and using Draft capital in the right places. Then Coleman, we'll see, and Zay needs to be healthy but he can play....you don't set the FBS record with 399 catches and forget how to catch. We'll see if the torn labrum made him alligator arm catches and if he can rebound nicely. 

     

    Defensive Line - OLB - Offensive Line - with CB being a FA priority. TEs take several years to develop. So, if you're going to Draft one, you do so in the 3rd or 4th round - again, look at history. Tony Gonzalez was the last truly great TE Drafted in the 1st and if you Draft a player in the 1st, you're doing so with either HOF in mind or immediate contributor. Just b/c I know there will be people who ask for examples: Gates, Witten, Kelce, Jimmy Graham, and Ertz and Gronk were taken in the 2nd round....

     

    Fans in contemporary NFL tend to overvalue WRs in relation to Draft position....the NFL doesn't. QB / O & D Line / LB, and then skill positions, WR-RB-CB.

    Yeah I disagree with this, you don't go out and get yourself a guy with the arm talent Josh has and not make any effort to bring in an explosive weapon for him to be able to use.

    I'm already thinking ahead to the future and not worrying too much about what happens this season because we obviously still have some glaring holes.  Number 1 is WR and I think everybody would agree on that.  Part of me is nervous though if there will be any truly elite WR's that will also fit the personality traits McDermott and Beane stress.  I say that because WR's are the biggest divas in the entire NFL, even the majority of the greats at that position.  I know there are some exceptions but this is one position where I really hope we don't get scared off from trying to draft a highly skilled receiver if he doesn't fit the criteria 100%...with Allen's arm and a legit deep threat that could be dangerous!  Has anybody else given this any thought or familiar with what big time receiver's are coming out of the draft next year and if you think they will be an ok fit here personality wise(not a huge college football guy so I'm not familiar with any of them at the moment)
