section122

Sat 122 for 5+ years (see screen name) right above the tunnel and they were great. Right behind first down man if anyone is familiar. It may be blasphemy but I preferred sitting in the 300s. There are bathrooms at the top of the stadium that are clean with little to no line, view is fantastic, seats are cheaper. Short of seeing the players coming and going I look for 300s before lower bowl.

TNF on the road at NE coming off of a west coast game and NE coming off of their bye. Seriously though one of the main things I am interested in tonight is how many games do the Bills play against teams with more rest. That and when the 49ers game is as that is the one I want to attend this year.

Sometimes my wife tells me that sports are just soaps for men. I disagree with her but then people actually care about things like this.

The talent on that Auburn team was not NC level at all. Look at this roster. I count 3 players that are still in the NFL besides Newton. Cody Parkey who is a K, Dee Ford and Nick Fairley, none of which are setting the league on fire.

? Jones was drafted by the Pats*. Also I watched his Senior year specifically against a ranked WVU team with Geno as the QB and he absolutely dominated that game. Yeah I am. The Cowboys would draft Alfred Morris at 6? If they are ranking it by best player Alfred Morris doesn't belong there. If you go by the position that the Cowboys needed CB was obvious as they selected Mo Claiborne. Gilmore is a much better fit there than Alfred Morris. This was kind of a dumb do over. It alternated between the team needs at the time and team needs at the present. Pretty weak effort imo.

This is my guy! I hope the Bills land him.

Haven't heard this and quite frankly I don't agree at all. I don't think the reffing was egregious at all. There were a couple of questionable calls as there are in every game. Just going through Cuse I can think of 2 early fouls that clearly weren't (Malachi's strip that gave him foul #2) against UNC, the call on the Cooney steal against Gonzaga, and it goes on. There are calls in every basketball game on every level that could be wrong. Never once did I feel that they interjected themselves in the game. Neutral fan here and I disagree lol. Seeing a UNC fan complain about officiating is like looking at a Pats* fan complain about it. Things go in UNC's favor way more than the other way. This was a great game by both teams. It shouldn't be sullied with complaints and accusations of impropriety. UNC dominated throughout the tourney and looked excellent but they had a pretty easy road to the Championship game. They played in order a 16, 9, 6, 10 seed. Nova was by far the best team they played against. They were met with a very tough challenge for the first time in the tourney and got beat in one of the best NC games in recent history. No shame in that.

They weren't the highest bidder. Twitter's CFO used to work in the NFL executive office.

My thoughts as well. BB is famous for bringing in QBs he has no intention of drafting in order to pick their brains. Hackenburg wouldn't shock me but it would sadden me. That would be a homer pick by Terry and I want to believe Whaley gets to do his job without interference. Ezekiel Elliot would shock me as RB is one of the positions we have depth in. That said I don't think he will be there. Shocking pick to me would be any QB. With the needs on D and OL (I can't believe I am about to say this about the Bills) a qb would be a luxury pick. I don't see much difference between Lynch and the others projected to go much later.

Not at all. The Jets pick right behind us and currently only have Geno on the roster. I think the Bills pick is where people will have to go to get a qb of their choice. If Fitz doesn't come back before the draft I can see them going QB in the first. That means other teams will have to jump up over. I could see Denver making the leap and it would cost them their second round pick. I would trade 19 for 31 and 63. Then there is Cle, Dallas, SD, and SF that could potentially want to come back into the 1st. Cleveland specifically and that would cost them their 2,3, and 6. I would try to push for something that would give us their first next year though.

I really hope we see Cardale on the Bills next year. His physical skills are so intriguing. He is a guy that has the physical tools and now that we have TT he could have the time to perfect his craft. I really don't hold the down year against him as I agree that he isn't really an Urban QB.

I appreciate this post. It is very rational with none of the boohoo but we should have been good. 16 years and counting and he was here for 1 of them. Somehow this team was supposed to be amazing and was terrible. Even though it was a new coach, new system, and way more injuries. This terrible team was exactly 1 game worse than the amazing team. Another good post. I have to admit the pissing and moaning around here has really soiled what is probably the best place for Bills talk for me. The year before with "one of the best defenses you have ever seen" as you put it they finished exactly 1 game better. If the 2014 team didn't get to play the jv pats* squad they would have finished with the same record. If TT plays in London or the refs don't make one of the worst PI calls they finish with the same record. You can play this game every year. Bottom line is the team was 1 game worse. Rex didn't ruin anything he just didn't deliver on the (ridiculous) expectations everyone had this last year. For many reasons... 1. I'm a Bills fan. This is not even close to the worst product they have trotted out onto the field. 2. Rex's history of top 10 defenses makes me think he will get it corrected on the defensive end. 3. Sammy and TT. I can't wait to see if TT has improved and what that means for Sammy 4. 16 Sundays out of the year I get to watch my favorite team play my favorite sport. I am always optimistic when I wake up Sunday morning. 5. I enjoy Rex and his bluster way more than Marrone, Jauron, Gailey, Mularkey, or Williams personality. 6. The divisional record. 4-2 tells me they are likely the second best team in the division. They swept the Jets and Fins which was very enjoyable and got beat by the Pats* (what else is new) 7. The RB combo of Karlos and Shady. With the entire line being back for the first time in about 20 years I am excited to watch them pound the rock 8. Whatever rookie they pick I will enjoy watching and hoping he turns into a stud. Whaley has a pretty good track record since taking over and I can't wait to see what we end up with Last year was the first time that I stopped taking the Bills so seriously and it was fantastic. Losses didn't bother me as much and wins were great. It is a sport for entertainment purposes. As much as I hoped, nothing I do on my end effects the outcome of the game. So I enjoy getting together with my friends on Sunday and watching the game. There is much more for me to list but it really boils down to I am always optimistic because the other choice is to be one of the many people on here that piss and moan constantly. If it makes me ignorant or a homer I don't really care. Every single Sunday I wake up during football season I hope and expect a Bills win.

This many options at 19 is exactly why I feel the best route is a trade down. There are so many guys right around the 19 range that could be fits for the Bills that a trade to 24 or so should still leave a desirable player.

It depends for the bolded. Would Jim Schwartz have the same amount of injuries? The knock on Rex Ryan has never been his defense. He has been a HC for 7 years and not had a top 10 defense 2 of those years. Last year with a new team and players who didn't fit his system accompanied with a rash of injuries and the other year he finished 11th. The knock has always been his offenses. Crashing and burning is hyperbole. Even with this "terrible" defense the Bills finished 8-8. With all the injuries, with the new coaches on both sides of the ball, with a qb starting for the first time, and with the highest paid player on the team giving less than max effort the Buffalo Bills finished 8-8. One game worse than the year before and their second best record in 12 years. Seriously where does the sense of entitlement come from Bills fans that because they thought the Bills should go 10-6 that 2 less wins was a disaster and the coach needs to go. One game worse than the year before and they weren't gifted the last game of the season like Marrone was. This team last year was closer to being a complete team than it has in years. Yet it was horrible and terrible and Rex is the worst coach ever. Get. A. Grip. 8-8, 9-7 the only two times the team has been over .500 since 2004.

Agreed. However Iowa State will be a tough game for UVA and the way they play they are always a candidate to be upset. Cuse has to handle their business tonight!

The MTSU game was huge for Lydon. After getting pushed around all year he really enjoyed being able to physically impose his will. I think that will be huge for this team going forward and hopefully for this tournament. I don't recognize this team and it is a good thing. As long as they maintain the aggression they have shown I think they will win today.

This is a great move for the Browns imo. There is no risk and a ton of upside. RG3 has shown glimpses of being an above average qb. If he turns out to be that the Browns are set. If he is a bust they lose a little bit of cap space. It really is that simple. QB contracts as others have pointed out are out of control. Even if the Browns use the #2 on a qb they will still be paying less for those 2 than the Fins will for Tannehill. 2 cracks at a "Franchise QB' for the price of 1.

I can't believe how many people don't know who he is. Kinda drives home my suspicion that many people here don't watch too many other games besides Bills games.

In reading through the thread on reddit there are 2 schools of thought from both eagles and titans fans. 1. This was not actually offered by the eagles. The Eagles inquired on the price, were told this would be the cost and never made an offer. 2. This is just absolutely not true.

Cooper has been a complete bust up to this point. Now maybe one of the greatest o-line coaches of all time can squeeze something out of him but even if that happens he is also a fa next year. I won't disagree that this is a pretty good deal for both sides but right now if I had to pick a winner I think it is the Cards as they got the best player in the deal. As I showed up thread the draft and specifically the second round hasn't been anything but a crap shoot for the Pats* and Cooper got benched last year for the Cards.

Almost all rankings for defense and offense are done on a ypg basis. Ranking by points is interesting though because it takes into account all offensive turnovers and special teams tds allowed. There is a flaw in any ranking system. For example NE and Indy with Peyton always were at the bottom of passing ypg against because teams threw so much against them to try and catch up. I just thought it was an interesting tidbit. Certainly points in the direction that maybe Rex's scheme isn't as outdated and terrible as some want to make it out to be.

With an all time great team. A team that was one fluke play away from going undefeated. Look at it this way, he was 7 wins worse without Brady.

I made this post for the Rex sucks thread but it got locked before I finished and this looks as good a place as any to put it.... Interesting Rex fact and his outdated scheme In 2014 his D finished 19th. Pats* and the genius 9th. In 2014 his D finished 6th. Pats* and the genius 13th. In 2013 his D finished 11th. Pats* and the genius 26th. In 2012 his D finished 8th. Pats* and the genius 25th. In 2011 his D finished 5th. Pats* and the genius 31st. In 2010 his D finished 3rd. Pats* and the genius 25th. In 2009 his D finished 1st. Pats* and the genius 11th. So his outdated scheme in the last 7 seasons has been outside the top 10 twice and been outranked by the defensive genius BB once. Perhaps some patience to let the guy run his scheme (fully pregnant if you will) we can expect some success.

Yeah I've stayed out of the Hogan thread for the most part but BB is very bad at drafting WR talent. Jeremy Gallon, Aaron Dobson, Josh Boyce, Jeremy Ebert, and Taylor Price going back to 2010. 2009 They hit on Edelman in the 7th but missed on Brandon Tate in the 3rd.

I noticed the same (unfortunate) trend.
