    Positive 11' Bills Discussion

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    I really think the new kickoff rule is going to help teams like Buffalo. My theory is that scoring drives will need to be longer, so overall scoring will be lower (more field goals and fewer touchdowns). If the Bills defense is really improved, then I can see us keeping games close and possibly win some of the close games that we lost last year.

    Replacements

    Am I the only one who enjoyed the replacement games in 1987? OK, the games were about as well played as high school football, but I like high school football! I still remember the Giants-Bills game in Buffalo - the game where Lawrence Taylor crossed the picket line to play. It was a fun game - was it Todd Schlopy who kicked the winning field goal for Buffalo? Or how about the Monday Night game where Bill Walsh had his replacement quarterback run the option for the 49ers, and all Bill Parcells could do was laugh. Who would have thought that 20 years later the wildcat would be so popular?

     

    I've read that during the last CBA, both sides agreed that they wouldn't use replacement players. But now that there is no union, isn't that agreement out the window?

     

    I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I'm a fan of the city, the team colors, and the logo. As long as the players wearing Buffalo's uniform get them to the playoffs, I'm OK with that...

    Ryan Fitzpatrick screwed the Bills over

    Given Fitz's numbers, I thought this year he ascended. Then again, ascending/descending, it's all relative.

    Now that's funny. I thought Fitz "ascended" against New England (the 1st game), Baltimore, and Pittsburgh, but he "descended" against New England (the 2nd game), the Jets, and Minnesota. For the other games he played, I thought he was "decent".

    Andrew Luck is too smart

    Since Jim Harbaugh and Jim Kelly had that alleged 'fisticuffs' maybe Harbaugh will persuade Luck to stay at Stanford another year? :unsure:

     

    I just finished reading the latest SI article about the Harbaugh brothers, and I was curious about the comment that said Jim H. went after Jim Kelly when Kelly supposedly insinuated that Jim H was not giving 100% effort (something like that). So does anyone know what the full story is behind this?

    Week 4 Haiku

    I took a week off from Haiku, because it's no fun when the team is lousy. But since last week's game was interesting until late in the 4th quarter, I'll give it another shot. Here goes:

     

    What's my prediction?

    The DB's will come to play

    And Rex will eat wings
