ESPN Ends Monday Night Football Musical Half Time Show
skibum replied to Warren Zevon's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think it's also high time they got a new opening theme. They have been riding that same crappy Hank Jr. thing since the mid-'90's. They should commission Hank 3 to do a new song. -
To me, "Flaws" means tons of penalties, dropped passes, running backs who fumble, linebackers who miss tackles, etc. While some of that is certainly happening, I would not say this kind of play is a defining characteristic of the 2019-20 Bills. They are a pretty disciplined group overall, they just don't connect on flashy bomb passes or get lots of sacks. They don't have any real superstars on offense or defense. They have a conservative coaching staff. If those are flaws, I must be reading about football in Forbes freaking magazine.

Amazing how the National Press Ignores the Bills
skibum replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Also no big-name superstars making flashy plays every week. Dawson Knox's Angry Run championship was about the only memorable play so far this season, and don't nobody even know who Dawson Knox is. And that's kind of a legit reason to not get attention. I know if I'm going to give a rip about another team, it's because they're making the highlight reels. -
Postgame Thread Bills Redskins
skibum replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bills had control of the game the entire day, had no costly blunders, and didn't give up any touchdowns. NEXT. -
HM to Andre Roberts for the big return. That was a gut-punch to the 'Skins.

Postgame Thread Bills Redskins

It looked like a solid win on all fronts to me, but I missed the whole 3rd quarter. Sounds like it was ugly. -
Clear Sign Beane Doesn't Think We Are Ready
skibum replied to Ghs24mike's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
How many trades actually happened today? Five or six? How many were blockbusters? Zero? The NFL is a league where teams build through the draft and free agency. Trades are used mostly as a way to move disgruntled players and dump big salaries. Why give up assets to get an overpaid player his former team didn't want, who probably doesn't know your system, when you have a rich menu of prime players available in the off season? -
Put Bills trade talks today here.
skibum replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It is stupid. If you're not tanking, then you should do what you can to build the best team possible. Especially if there's an opportunity to trade for a good player who can still be on the roster next year and beyond. -
OK, Mahomes at #10, great list.
-
Honestly, when all this started, he had shown enough to warrant at least a training camp invitation from an NFL team. If Peterman and EJ Manuel can get a shot, he should have too. But he's been out of the game so long and the controversy around him has gotten so big now that I doubt he could ever come back.

Is Kaepernick black-balled? Isn't that kind of a personal question?
-
Thank you, Captain Hindsight. It was a good pick on draft day, and it's not a bust situation yet by any means.

Zay Jones traded to Raiders for 5th rounder
skibum replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Zay proved he can play in the NFL, just not as a #1, or even a starter on a lot of teams. He has the benefit of 2+ years experience as a pro to help him compete for a roster spot. He'll be fine if he keeps working hard. -

At the current exchange rate, he ran a 3.23 US. -
How do you tweak this roster for week 7 and beyond?
skibum replied to MtlBillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the roster is pretty solid at the moment. Today's game was a good example of that -There were multiple injuries, but it made no difference because they have good players up and down the depth chart, and good coaching. The Defense is pretty much as good as any fan could hope for, from top to bottom. WR still seems a little weak, but I think they can let it ride as long as Allen continues to improve his throwing game. That's pretty much what it comes down to now. They need to score more points, and that's more on Allen than anyone else on the current roster .
