Patrick Duffy Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 That's great. Nice to see this. The organization has shown a lot of class with this whole situation. Awesome of Ed to do that. 1
BuffAlone Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 I heard Ed was selfish and not a team player. Is he ok in our collective books now? Seriously tho, great kid, great teammate, great young man to want to do this for Poncho. Good job Ed!

But you are right , Ed seems like a very high character guy and fits Buffalo perfectly. ...think I read where his coach bristled publicly about comments stating Oliver was not used correctly.....

Bills92 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 The pundits may dismiss it.. but this another example of the 'culture' that has been in development since McDermott stepped through the doors of One Bills Drive back in January 2017 5 2
Success Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Some guys, you basically know they’re Bills from day 1. Ed Oliver is going to be a fan favorite, and I think he’ll be here for a very long time. 2 1

I have before, did again right now at your behest, and will do so again in the future for Pancho in the hopes that he will come home. 3

msw2112 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 This draft pick seems to be a home run in every way. All of the experts (including the Bills own) agree that he has the talent level to be a great player, especially when played in the proper position (which his college team didn't do last year). On top of that he seems to love Buffalo, love the Bills organization and was clearly excited to be selected by the Bills. And going to visit Pancho, one of the greatest Bills fans, in the hospital was awesome. Many prima donna athletes wouldn't have taken the time to make this kind of gesture. I realize that I am re-stating most of what has been said in other posts, but it just feels right to comment! One thing to also keep in mind is that Oliver hasn't even signed a contract yet. 1
Misterbluesky Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 10 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: That situation was a total joke. The coach just had a power trip and tried to rip the coat off him. And obviously, the university agree with Oliver because they fired the coach. Sadly, a lot scumbags win too. We have had plenty of good guys. But we don't have scumbags...the Zay Jones situation was chalked up as a bad night...folks need to let that go. Don't expect anything less....Kyle did not sell his home...Wood has a place here.. Mark my words...this team is going to have a beaucoup in spirit locker room this year..as long as Hughes doesn't blow a fuse (Grins). This is a "family team"..passing of the flame. Kyle and Eric are as important to this year's squad as much as Oliver,Alexander and Morse are. Warriors bleed and they sacrifice.. This roster has been filled with warriors. P.S.- Wyatt Teller's job is in jeopardy....you want to tell him that to his face? 1

Maybe his coach was simply a jackass? Who knows? Oliver seems pretty damn high character to me. I read somewhere that McD met with the coach and the coach said it was more heat of the moment and Oliver hated the fact he was pulled out at that point and wanted to help his team.
gjv001 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Outstanding!!!!!!! This young man possesses great character. I would say his parents must be very proud of him and themselves. They have raised a quality individual. 1

These two young men are Texans by birth, one is a Bills fan by choice, the other a Bill by chance. They are there for each other in good times and tough times. #Pancho Power. Viva Los Bills! I can almost hear those words said with Vin Scully's voice. 1
aceman_16 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Ed heard do it for Pancho.....and mistook Pancho for a raincoat and showed up to grab it.....sorta like what he did in college.
