48 hours to the trade deadline.
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to Another Point of View's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Proof of the stupidity of your post. You couldn't even get to 10 with sarcasm, though you said there were at least 50. -
MY NFL 2011 draft
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to DIE HARD 1967's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Here's the whole problem. The Bills are void of talent. And when you're not as talented as the other team it's hard to act like your a tough guy. Take Whitner for instance. He wants so badly to be a trash talking, hard hitting safety, that opponents fear. The problem is that he has just average skills. It's hard to enact toughness, when you don't have the skill set to back it up. Every player evolves, at every point in their career. Like Stevie Johnson. If you watch film on him he was a vocal leader, a half time speech kind of guy. Well how the heck is he going to be that for the Bills? His play isn't good enough for anyone to listen. He would look ridiculous. High end talent is our issue. -
48 hours to the trade deadline.
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to Another Point of View's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ok, name just 10 of the 50 you think we should go after, and what we would have to give to get them. -
I'll start by saying I've been a Maybin defender up until a couple of weeks ago. I actually thought he was looking better. But I'm now almost convinced he's never going to put together an NFL career. The notion of "draft a project", doesn't even exist anymore, so I don't quite understand that argument. Maybin was a miss on a long list.

Buffalo Has No Luck

I know you and Die Hard are tight, but it hasn't happened yet. -
Bills will TRADE top pick next year
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to Chris in Syracuse's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't get this. Bell has been at the very least adequate. I think your still stuck on how the o line looked with Trent at the helm. This o line is playing decent. I'm now pleasantly saying their biggest issue is penalties. -

You've really made a great argument, I now see that it's obvious too. -
Is Poz a cornerstone?
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to Buffalonian-at-Heart's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Do you think he should be? -
Will we make a play for Shawne Merriman?
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Since this list includes our starters it is awful, but could you imagine adding two real good LB's to this list, how incredible it would look. In my opinion there's some great depth there. It's just not a great starting grid, and void of high end talent. I know I'm stating the obvious, but if we make a couple moves this off season, this could quickly become a position of great strength. -
I have mixed feelings about Poz. He's one of our cornerstone players (hold on poz haters). But the question is what does that mean, and is that saying much? Does that mean he's the best on a team totally lacking high end talent, but in comparison to other cornerstone LB's, really not very good? Or is he individually more talented than he's able to showcase because of those around him? And therefor just simply needs upgrades around him for his potential to materialize? I'll submit when Poz is out, this team is noticeably worse and misses him sorely on the field. But again I ask, does this mean he's missed because of how good he is, or because the rest of the team is just that bad? These are the million dollar questions, and the heart of the debate. My personal feelings are; My heart tells me Poz can be an impact player if the supporting cast was better. But my brain tells me he just isn't a great talent. If you're great you're great, no matter who's around you. In fact your greatness elevates those around you, and they are the one's that look better because of you. If you can't inspire greatness out of others, how can you yourself be great? So in conclusion, I think Poz is a decent player. He's a good tackler and has a nose for the ball. He lacks the overall speed and strength needed to maximize his instincts. He's a hard working smart football player, that just doesn't have the god given skill set to be an impact Linebacker.

Shawn Merriman at rock bottom
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What evidence do you have that would pronounce the Bills as "the NFL's land of misfit toys"? -

That's sort of my take. -

Florio - Non truth teller
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to Buffalonian-at-Heart's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Slow down little boy. The point of the post is not to argue whether its Favre or not. It's you don't know, so the only thing you can do is say I think it is. You need to wake up and learn how to read. How you got Favre's an icon and I'm trying to protect him out of what I wrote, can only be explained by your extreme stupidity. You're stupidity in this whole post is the only thing not an opinion. "He is not as bad as Rapist Ben, who should be in jail and out of football forever, but he is not very far behind." This sentence is proof positive of your denseness. -
Chan thinking of going to 4-3 defense?
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to Cereal's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
M L, I read a lot of your comments and respect your opinions. But I've got to totally disagree with you in this one. How you line up is crucial and there are vast differences between the defenses. Not only from how you line up, but from a responsibilities and player skill set perspective. If I were to name our defense it would be a 4-3, we are definitely NOT a 3-4 defense. Yes, I notice we are in a 5-2 setup which is increasingly further away from the 3-4. This is when we start bringing the safety down to have some of the LB responsibilities (Scott). The huge difference beyond philosophy is the type of player needed for the OLB. Could you imagine Bruce Smith trying to play OLB in a 3-4 which entails having the coverage responsibilities? If the skill sets Bruce had were leaned upon to cover the TE etc., it would be easier to compare Tennis and Rugby. -
Who wouldnt you cut?
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to billsfan_34's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is preposterous. There's way more guys that you keep. Doesn't mean they are great players, but there's way more you don't put on a list of potential guys you move on without. How about: Carrington, Wang, Hangartner, Easley, Poz, Davis, Stupar, Stevie Johnson, Howard, Batten, Mcintyre, Urbik, Bell, Torbor, Ellison, and several others. You don't get rid of certain veteren's, your best special teams players, your developing players, and your depth. I can't believe you think every other player that's not on your little list is expendable. -
Mike Florio comes on the morning sports talk show in Charlotte NC every Wednesday. Guys like Florio take assumptions and try to say they're truths. He was asked to talk about a couple of topics. The first was the Favre situation. He interrupted the hosts and said "Lets not pretend that's not his voice on the voice mail, that's him. We've all heard him talk, that's his voice." It might be him, but lets not pretend that someone can't mimic his voice and potentially conspire Favre. What happened to letting the facts come out first? The second was the Moss situation, specifically with Brady. They were talking about Brady's involvement in Moss getting traded. The hosts were quoting Brady as he told some radio stations that he wasn't a part of Moss getting traded. Florio said "I don't believe that."He went on to say "There's no way a franchise QB, Super Bowl winning QB, isn't consulted in that decision. He was heavily involved in that decision, and there's no way they trade Moss without Brady's approval." Again, this may be true. But Brady said it isn't. So Florio just disregards what Brady says and concludes he's lying and it is true. Then starts writing articles saying it's fact, instead of that it's his opinion that Brady was consulted.

For God's sake we don't run the 3-4 predominantly. Why is everyone stuck on this switching thing? Geesh, watch the games. -
Where do Good QBs Come From?
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to NaPolian8693's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Perfectly said Ramius. No questions asked, if you get the opportunity to pick from any QB in the draft, and you've convinced yourself as an organization he's a franchise QB, you do it. -
Perry Fewell please come back!!!!!
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to The Natural's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Fewell is a talented coach, but I don't think it's fair to associate him with Jauron beyond that they coached in Buffalo together. In other words Jauron was horrible. -
Wilson speaks
Buffalonian-at-Heart replied to Delete This Account's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's a control freak. He has to have his hand in on every little decision. He works around the clock because he can't trust those around him to do their jobs. He's not just worried about being the owner, he's trying to be the GM and Head Coach on the football side of the business, and he's trying to be the CEO to control every single penny spent. He's also telling the scouting department he's not dolling out the cash for a QB, so pick another position for the first round to evaluate. WOW! I think you give a 92 year old man, not even living in the State a little too much credit. -
Lee Evans to St. Louis?

You have one example and that proves how he is going to handle every personnel decision?

I apologize again!

Yes, if we only had Schobel you wouldn't have to do all this apologizing.
