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. -
Wouldn't this be nice.....GBN 2013 Draft projection
Mark80 replied to Buffalo Mike1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Uhhh, this is almost 2 months old. I mean, the guy has Logan Thomas going in the first round but no Geno Smith even listed at that point. Worthless post. -
I'm not saying Marcell is a bust but...
Mark80 replied to jamestown-cuse's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Don't you know that you must have at least 500 posts in order for your opinion to count for anything on these boards? Duh. -
Yes, I am. Have you watched him this year? He's looked fantastic. Back to the highly touted form of two years ago. I was skeptical at first too, until I watched him, he's back and looking great. Wilson has taken a hit based on team performance. Could climb back in though, no doubt.

Seriously, are we done with this non-sense yet? Not a single quality game vs a good opponent in the last two seasons: 2012: Alabama 13/27 184, 0 TDs 2 Int Miss St 13/24 148 2 TDs 1 Int Georgia 24/45 281 2 Tds 3 Int Florida 22/44 257 2 Tds 2 Int 2011 Kentucky 15/38 215 1 TD 2 Int Vandy 16/33 189 2 TD 2 Int Georgia 18/33 251 0 TD 0 Int Florida 26/48 288 3 TD 2 Int Please, let's keep the first round pick discussion to Barkley, Jones, and Smith (who may be playing himself out of the first round the last two weeks as well) only and get rid of this Bray crap once and for all. Thanks.

Bills Sabres Athletics I can barely remember the A's win over the Giants in the battle of the bay, but would hardly call myself a hardcore fan at that point. So, in short, no for hardcore teams I love. Teams I like though, Ohio State, UNC, Bulls, all yes but not as satisifying as it would be for the other 3.

Who will be the Bills QB next year
Mark80 replied to THE GASH STATION's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't know how much work he really needs. He's looked fantastic this season and looks like he put in a ton of work in the off season. He's back to the form that made him a highly touted prospect a couple seasons ago. I see him, Geno, and Barkley all going top 10 and we need to get one of them. -
Careful, there are plenty of Benz's and Jaguars out there that have less quality than some Acura's (and even some Toyotas). Don't just get caught up in the name (i.e. Vick, ROMO, etc.). However, get a Bentley and you're set. Get a Bugatti, Koenigsegg, McLaren and you're winning Superbowls.

NFL's Players Poll: Most Underrated
Mark80 replied to FitzShowUsYourTitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What a lame list. Maurice Jones-Drew, Andre Johnson, Eli Manning, Matt Forte, Wes Welker, Justin Smith, Haloti Ngata? All these players are considered superstars, how are they possibly underrated? Should they be considered super-duper-pooper stars?
