J.J. Watt/terrific player and better person
Mark80 replied to JohnC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Absolutely. I love when ESPN airs their feel good stories. E:60 seems to have quite a lot of them (and is probably the best show they have going). Sportscenter seems to be playing more of them than they used to, but it is certainly still dominated by gossip and negative stories. -
Will CJ get his touches? Last year's stats say "meh"
Mark80 replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
8 thouches by our best offensive player in a game that was decided by less than one score and you're applauding his use? Not to mention the potential playoff implications of the game. Come on, man! As other repsonders have pointed out, keeping the guy "fresh" for the last 3 games that have become virtually meaningless meaningless is not good coaching or roster management at all, it's simply moronic. -
Who are the active "elite" QB's?
Mark80 replied to truth on hold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Here's my take on an elite QB...would i sacrifice something moderately important for him to join the Bills, say my pinky toe. 1. Tom Brady - Yes 2. Aaron Rodgers - Hell yes 3. Peyton - Come on now, Seriously? 4. Drew Brees - Absolutely 5. Andrew Luck - No doubt 6. RGIII - Of Course 7. Eli - Mr. Clutch? Ah, yeah! No one else is is worth my worthless toe, but Ben is close. -
I think the sad part is that it's not that much worse than the Gotye song that it's a parody of, but maybe it's just me.

I stand corrected. I know there is some sort of fallout with Salvatore's and Russell though, however, I try not to pry into my friends family matters so I'm not exactly sure what it is. I'm pretty sure it is related to the ex-Wife in some way though (possibly concerning his remarraige or girlfriend or something along those lines).
-
Not to mention that Russ has nothing to do with Salvatore's anymore and created Russell's Steaks and the Hotel out of spite for the current Salvatore's owners (which I'm pretty sure is his ex-Wife that owns it, not his son). My good friend (Russ's grandson) runs Russell's, it's awesome. He also owns the new place YOLO down the street a bit with his brother, it's also a very nice Martini bar type place.

Sorry, but any time a running game has 41 carries for 214 yards and moving the sticks at will it is never a good game for any MLB. With that many runs any good MLB would have had at least 12 tackles and certainly more than just 2 solo ones.

Poz has to be one of the most overhyped players in the league. The announcers were all about him on Sunday, but except for the pick that Fitz threw right to him, he did nothing all game, just like he did nothing for us for years. Just because the guy has a cool name, looks tough, and makes a few tackles, doesn't mean he's a great NFL linebacker. Good riddance. Byrd, on the other hand is a straight up baller who makes plays all over the field and can win games for you with crazy picks and even some hits once in a while. Get it done!

Our whole defense looked horrible for most of the games that Williams was active, not just one CB. While a move to safety may be interesting to consider, I certainly wouldn't give up on him completely at this point. CBs take time to adjust to the NFL. Just because Gilmore looks to have special potential early, let's not forget that he is the exception, not the rule. Look no further than McKelvin. Looked terrible, benched deep on the depth chart, injuries force him to play and all of the sudden he looks quite adequate at CB in his 5th season.

would you rather win out or loss out.
Mark80 replied to buffalover4life's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Win out and we will make the playoffs. Sadly, I think I'm one of the only ones on this board that thinks it will actually happy and have, accordingly, been called "delusional" on numerous occasions. Maybe, but at least I'm still excited to watch tomorrow's game while most of you will be going to Home Depot and Bed Bath and Beyond. -
If any of these analyst really knew what they heck they were talking about, they'd be a GM, Head Scout, or something along those lines, not a reporter.

Toronto Argonauts vs Buffalo Bills
Mark80 replied to marauderswr80's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Are you serious? It's a CFL team for crying out loud. -
The thing about watching footage is that it is often just highlights of the exceptional plays and doesn't give you a true picture of the player. I watch a ton of college football and watched numerous Arkansas games last year and this year. As I said, he was better last year, yes, but most of his great performances were against lackluster defenses. Also, he clearly regressed this year. Wouldn't you rather have the prospect that has shown marked improvement in his most recent season (Jones comes to mind) over a guy that played one season (with pretty good results) and then regressed a ton the following season? Couldn't the same arguement that we read all the time concerning Fitz and Gailey be used for Wilson where defenses figured out how to stop him and he couldn't adjust? That's what comes to my mind. There is no agruement on his arm strength, he's surely go that, he just doesn't have "it" to me. And besides, wasn't Jevon Snead considered a first round (top 10ish) prospect going into his senior season as well after one pretty good SEC season? He struggled mightly his Senior year, wasn't drafted and never made an NFL team.

There are at least 4 QBs I'd want over Wilson. Smith, Barkley, Murray (if he comes out), and Jones. Bet on Smith being gone before we get a chance to take him, but the other 3 should be in play. I'd much rather have Te'o in the first and Jones in the second. If Te'o is gone, I'd be very happy with Barkley or Murray with our first pick. Wilson has not done anything in his entire career that would place him as a first round pick. 21/13 TD/INT ratio this season and very unimpressive stats against any team with any Defense whatsoever (I mean, 5 of those TDs were against Kentucky). Last year was a bit better, but most of his really good games were against non-conference "gimme" games and the weaker SEC teams. I would hate this pick as a long term solution at QB.

Bills currently drafting 8th
Mark80 replied to mitchmurraydowntown's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I really like Draft Teks mock which has us taking Te'o in the 1st and Jones in the 2nd. That would make me one happy camper. -
Some of you are, not surprisingly, confusing criticizm and frustration with the people who find it necessary to week after week proclaim their abandonment of this team on these forums over and over and over again. People who just spew out crap to get a rise out of others, and I'm tired of it. I've been a daily visitor of this site for years and have found it harder than ever to find a reason to keep visiting with all the moronic postings these days. Please do me and many others a favor, instead of coming here and making a big scene about how you're no longer going to be a Bills fan, take the high road and just leave. That's all I'm trying to say.
-
I'm just curious if anyone is taking note, or making a list of all of these fair-weather fans who are "fed up" with the Bills and just can't stand supporting them anymore. It's funny how you see the same people write the same posts over and over and over again. If you're done, then stop coming back, please. I'm so sick of it. I'm sure you'll all coming running back after we win the next 4 games and have a chance to make the playoffs by beating the Jets. Far fetched? Not as much as you may think. Take a look at our schedule compared to the reeling Steelers, the Colts, and the Bengals. Two of those teams could easily go 8-8 and 9-7 just may get it done. I just know that regardless of how it goes, I'll be watching every game cheering for MY team no matter what. Go Bills.

Heard a very bad comment about the Bills on 1070 The Fan in Indy
Mark80 replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So where's the "very bad comment" and how are the Bills a "overwhelming UNDERDOG"? Because people from ESPN picked the Colts? Don't you know that all those fools do is look at a team and pick a winner based off their record (unless you're the Eagles or Cowboys, then they pick you regardless of record). Please learn who to write a proper heading for a Topic. I swear this forum is worse and worse every single day. -
Some of you guys are crazy! Geno Smith is not falling in the draft. Just because his defense is terrible, doesn't mean his arm strength, accuracy, and speed diminished. He's still a top 5 pick. Aaron Murray is going to surprise no one. Everyone expects him to be at least a 2nd round pick, maybe even a first if he comes out this year. How is that a surprise? Landry Jones has been great this year. Buffalo Barbarian and I have been saying this every few weeks in these threads but everyone wants to remember last year instead of focusing on his tremendous arm and development this year. Barkley is a great QB. We would be lucky if his injury has him fall to us. Can't blame the man for fumbles, drops, and a terrible coach. Tyler Bray is not good, neither is Glennon. Bray will never be good, Glennon has a chance to develop but is a project. Zac Dysert lost to UB. Enough said.
-
I wonder at what point (if not already) people start discussing Bruce Arians as the hot coaching prospect. Can't argue with what he's done with the Colts as an interim head coach.

Do you not watch college football? Barkley and Smith are LEGIT franchise NFL QBs. Any draft with two franchise QBs in it is not "underwhelming." Also, Wilson, Bray, Jones, Murray. I wouldn't be surprised if one or two of them turned out to be pretty good ballers as well. I can see Chiefs for sure, Jaguars, Jets, Raiders, Eagles, Cardinals, all looking for QBs early in the draft. Hopefully Nix sticks to his word again when he said that we are now in the position to go out and get that QB and we move up to 1 or 2 and finally get this situation dealt with. If we had a QB that could throw a deep ball and a defensive co-ordinator that didn't call the same plays all game, never blitzed, and decided to cover A. Johnson with Aaron Williams, we'd be in the play off hunt for sure this year.

Bills Twitter (the deleted Tweets)

It gets harder and harder to find any reason to come visit this forum every day.
