Any musicians out there that order stuff online, I highly recommend Sweetwater so far. I just bought some picks for under $20, free shipping. I got the e-mail confirmation at 6:05 and a phone call from them, a real, live person at 6:06 just to say they got the order and that he was upgrading the shipping so I get it faster, not really sure how, because the shipping is 1-3 day first class mail anyway, but whatever.

Maybe it's because it's the first time I ordered from them, but a phone call from a real person literally within a minute of ordering on a $20 order is a nice touch. I could understand if I just bought a $4500 PRS or something. Prices are pretty much the same as anywhere else. And on guitars they do a free setup/intonation.

There are 7 centers on this team. 8 if you count Reinhart. Weird

- jcragcrumple


And that is a problem, too many “set-up” guys, not enough finishers/snipers.
Maybe, just maybe Nylander is finally doing something to instill a modicum of excitement about developing into one...we desperately need for him to find his game and start banking some G’s ... he has 1 G in last 12 games, 4 in last 32.
Jesus Christ, bury som3 would ya.

Certainly not me, but I wouldn't pick a QB with accuracy issues first overall.

We watched the Bills try to fix that with EJ while he threw screen passes to Fred into the dirt 3 feet behind him

- jcragcrumple


Genius, seriously I do mean it.
People get all wide-eyed at size and forget about accuracy.
Dumb.
Need a QB who can throw guys open, instead of trying to get them killed over the middle.

I generally agree with all of this. I will be disappointed, but I fully understand the repercussions of paying too much to move up.
- TheSabresTaco


The repercussions of not moving up when they have amassed that much draft capital to get their guy for the next 12-15 years, is they will be locked out for another 12-15 years.
Gerbe is absolutely right on this, and I have been saying the same thing.

Bills lucked into p,scoffs on a miracle play, then proceed to the playoffs and hang 3 on the board, after poop anning their QB and watching the replacement throw 5 interceptions in 1 half.

Get used to it, it will be your life if they don’t move up and grab their guy.

And if their guy isn’t the most accurate, talented, smartest and most fierce competitor then they will have failed. PERIOD.

I wasnt high on mayfield a month ago, i thought he was gonna be another johnny manziel. After watching a lot of tape since then, i really think he is the guy now. Dude is a gamer. Shows up to play and win every game. Seems to be the most accurate guy in this draft. The knock on him lately has been his "escapability." Honestly im more concerned in getting a guy who can anticipate and throw recievers open, like you just said. If he cant run away from trouble but he can stand in the pocket and deliver the ball im ok with it.
Mayfield is the pick imo. Make it happen, please make it happen.

You do. Reinhart is not a center in the nhl and erod never was a center. He should be playing lw where he belongs.

Sweetwater is great. I also like Austin Bazaar

Didn't know you played, got any stuff online? We can exchange our jams to each other.

They had the opportunity to draft the best QB in college and passed. Now they are scrambling to move up and get one.
- MCGUIZZY


While Watson was great, to be fair, he did tear his ACL on a non contact play in practice, which is a very 'Bills' thing to happen, as some put it.

Why not? They're the exact team I'd think would, get a bunch of high picks and make one last push with Eli.
- Wetbandit1


There's a lot of chatter in the NYC area that they are taking a QB as this chance won't present itself again for a long time, and they don't think Eli has more than a year or two left.

KHL defenseman from CSKA Bogdan Kiselevich played 5 playoff games vs Jokerit. Wasn't on the ice for any of the goals in the series while playing 165.46 minutes. Average 28 minutes per game. SHOULD FIT INTO THE LINEUP ON MANY @NHL TEAMS.

we were rumoured to be in on him at back in november/december.

He can sit in the press box with Antipin and they can swap jokes in Russian.

You da man!
The Bills have been very quiet on him, no one really linking them to him...yet.
They gotta get in front of Bronco’s ... maybe the Jets. So that is 1 or 2.
I am hoping Denver mortgages the future on OBJ and gives the store to the Giants, would make it easier to pry the 2nd out of them.

i feel like his defensive style and age would earn him more minutes. shame the antipin experiment never really worked out.

Wow, for 20 bucks I bet you got a lot of picks. I just destroy picks playing bass and it takes prolly 15 years to use up 20 bucks in picks.

Sticking to guitar I can make a pick last forever, and when in need I go to the Billy Gibbons trick and use a worn-down nickel (he uses a peso).

Wha wha pedals and me do not get along. Been through 4 so far and I rarely use them. Loved the Vox wah....built like a tank but I still managed to break it.

You get people saying "you can't teach size." Well Brees, Rodgers and Wilson beg to differ. Id rather take a shot on that than accuracy problems. I get that people want a tall and powerful QB, but that's not the most important part

There was some talk that the language barrier was a big part of the issue. No idea how true that is or is not.
