I don't know how any young QB is supposed to step in and look even remotely decent in their first real NFL games. Even the elite draft picks usually look like bums for a while. So I don't know how you determine a guy like Fromm actually stinks until there's a larger sample size.

Levi Wallace gone to the Steelers on 2-year deal
skibum replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
He's not the best CB in the business, but he stepped up when Tre got hurt, and for the most part, he was a solid to good contributor on a top defense. I hope the Bills brass was prepared for this, because on the surface it doesn't look like a good scenario - and this is not a team that likes to draft for needs. They must like Dane Jackson a lot! -
Bummer, he was a real BMF at one point. I wish him all the best.

Good move for Seattle, Wilson is a great QB but they weren't going anywhere without a little rebuild action. Why keep an asset of that magnitude on your team if you aren't winning with him anyway? AFC is beyond loaded with QBs now!

Per Andrew Marchand (New York Post) Troy Aikman is ESPN bound for MNF
skibum replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall
What a shame - Aikman and Buck are terminally boring. I stopped watching the World Series years ago because Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are so lame. I can't understand why MNF, or the NFL for that matter, would want these two stiffs to anchor their flagship program. I don't love Chris Collinsworth's personality, but at least he has one. -
Decent game, but it really made me think these two teams were lucky to be there. Lots of mistakes and mediocre play on both sides. Mostly bad throws and drops, plus superstars like Ramsey not playing well at all. Very frustrating to watch; couldn't stop thinking the Bills (or Chiefs or Bucs or Packers) would have won that game by 20. Oh well, they all had their shot and didn't make it. Hats off to Stafford and the Rams, and I'm glad the Bills still have a chance to win a SB before the Bengals.

Could Bills Trade Up To #1 For Pass Rusher? Picks and Rousseau For #1?
skibum replied to jwhit34's topic in The Stadium Wall
There is a valid argument that without a consensus QB at #1, it won't cost as much to trade up to the first pick. BUT, why you would trade Rousseau plus very valuable assets for someone who MIGHT, at best, be 10% better than Rousseau, is beyond me. -
Quinton Spain comments on release from the Bills
skibum replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
Dude's not Jason Peters, he has to compete for a starting job like everyone else. -
Davis Webb on FA visit with NYG (update - signed)

Christian Wade to the Giants, book it. -
Thurman Thomas was far faster than I thought he was...
skibum replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
That was Jim Brown's move - He acted like he might have been hurt after every play, that way if he was actually hurt, nobody would know the difference. -
Josh Allen should change his jersey number
skibum replied to BringBackFergy's topic in The Stadium Wall
Funny, I never thought of it but not a lot of well-regarded QBs have worn 17. Philip Rivers may be the best, then there's Dave Krieg, Jake Delhomme, Don Meredith, Doug Williams, Steve DeBerg, and Billy Kilmer. Other notables in sport: Wendel Clark, Jari Kurri, Rick Fox (barf), Ilya Kovachuk, Felipe Alou, Chris Mullen, Keith Hernandez, Hondo. But yeah, not a lot of all-time greats in the mix. Hondo and Kurri, then maybe Kovalchuk, Rivers, Alou, Clark, and Mullen if we're ranking. Great opportunity for JA to become the greatest to ever wear the 17! I love obscure jersey numbers. -
Athletic article forecasting our cap casualties
skibum replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Beasley has been great at times, but there are probably some very good FA receivers out there who would play with Josh Allen for free. And likewise, there will be many desperate teams looking for a Beasley-type safety valve for their barely adequate QB. On the other hand, if Sanders is also gone, Davis can't replace both vets. I don't envy NFL GMs (except for their salaries, of course). It's a complex matrix, and you can only control so much of it anyway. -

skibum replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thurman was uncatchable in Madden '92. -
Webb is not our QB coach. Speculation was wrong
skibum replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall
Maybe he's not ready to give up on the chance of signing somewhere for a roster player's salary. Even league minimum would be nice. Looking unlikely, but maybe worth a shot. I just can't believe the Bills would walk away from him, knowing how important he has been to Josh Allen's prep. But that's just what I read somewhere, I don't actually know anything. -
And I thought it said Tom Brady! And I'm like, my God, what is wrong with people??? Anyway, it seems like a great hire.

Cincy has the hot hand right now. I think they win by two touchdowns, 31-17.
-
I am happy for the long-suffering fans of Cincy if they finally win one, but at the same time, the thought of Burrow and the Bungles winning a SB before Allen and the Bills makes me depressed. It just seems wrong.
-
Yeah, it really sucks having a top 3 Defense in the league. Time to get rid of that bum.

Do you want KC to cruise to the Super Bowl title?
skibum replied to Charles Romes's topic in The Stadium Wall
As I think we can all relate to the Bengals fan experience through the years, it would be nice to see them finally win something; except that it would further isolate the Bills on the list of teams that haven't won the big game. But I would not say I am invested in any particular outcome at this point. -
There's no way he would have overshot it that much if he was trying to kick it short of the goal line. Bass is an ace at those kicks. And it really doesn't matter if he did one or the other kick. Squib kick is risky with the returners KC has, also because it's a finesse kick that could go wrong. Kick out of the EZ is a guaranteed outcome. Neither is the perfect play. Bottom line - to my eyes, the 13 Seconds debacle is on Frazier for calling Prevent defense. I thought that was malpractice.
-
Everyone is acting like this will be a layup for the Chiefs, but you never know. Cincy is red hot right now, anything can happen.
-
Recruiting. Bills are going to lose some good players and staff this off-season, no doubt. Josh is the team's biggest draw for free agents, coordinators, etc. I hope he is able to participate in that process.
-
10/11 playoff coin-toss winners have gone on to win the game since the new rules came into effect. So I can't see why an onside kick wouldn't be worth a try. Defense is always going to be more gassed than Offense at the end of regulation. I think that's why you rarely see even a top-tier defense get the big stop in OT.
-
It just seemed like the Chiefs were willing to give Davis the opportunities, not so much Diggs and Knox. It doesn't matter to me as long as Allen's throws connect to someone in a Bills uniform.
