How about "let it continue". The only encouraging sign right now is the success of the 2011 draft. It really looks very good. If as some say 2010 was on Modrak and his scouting dept (even if Buddy was GM at the time and previously chief scout)then perhaps we can expect another winning effort in 2012. If that happens, the team has a chance to at least turn the corner.

Who is Ralph Wilson Jr?
starrymessenger replied to BillsfaninFl's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You might forgive the man for lacking a little fire for football in his belly as he stands on the threshold of eternity. Then again, perhaps not. -
Forget about a blue chipper like Blackmon. Bills will probably look to sign Donnie Avery after the Titans release him.

This Manning Situation Will Be THE Talk
starrymessenger replied to BuffaloBaumer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Luck will not sit. He is ready to play. Manning and Luck will not be on the same roster IMO. -
They didn't know so much when they drafted Brohm in the second. He was good in college too (and he didn't hav anyone at Louisville like Michael Crabtree). Time will tell but IMO he is either their third option at QB next year, on their practice squad, or gone. They are just covering their backsides since Flynn will be leaving. What does it cost them? A few thousand dollars a week. But you know I wouldn't mind seeing him under center for the Pack. It would at least be inteesting to see so well oiled an offensive machine disintegtrate in a nanosecond. If he ever gets to play at this level he will be a turnover machine(IMO). Can't throw 25 yards downfield with a hurricane at his back.

You cannot be more correct IMO. Graham Harrell absolutely sucks as a pro QB. He couldn't even play in Canada. What this suggests to me is that having written the check the Bills intend to go with Fitz and not draft and groom a premier prospect at the position. GB is probably just leaving their options opoen. Don't be surprised if he is not on their roster next year as they find a better player to back up AR. Buddy can go get him then. Chan Gailey should get his head out of the college dust bin. He's coaching in a pro league now. Now Matt Flynn on the other hand. There a guy who looks like he might be player. No chance of our landing him I guess.

Re model citizen, a Jets former teammate says though he was respected as a player people were very wary of Suh's anger management issues and unexpected mood swings. Says this never came out in public and was never flagged at the combine. Suh is a boy in a man's body. He needs to grow up (if at all possible). Having said that, after we draft RG3 in the first, I hope we land Vontaze Burfict in the second. He's a real puppy off the field too.

They were backing up the truck foe Nnambi at the time and could not match. When Nnambi signed with Philly Brad was gone to Buff. I don't know, I guess we overpaid. But I like what I'm seeing from him as a WR. For a guy who has never played the position he looks remarkably good to me. Fast, long arm's, good ball shills and, incredibly, seems to have a sense of how to run a pass pattern. Imagine if he turned out to be the guy we needed to stretch the field all along.

Spiller's crucial flaw
starrymessenger replied to SageAgainstTheMachine's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Easy to say (I expected the comment). I saw several plays where he was behind blocks that were made. I would not go so far as to say he needs to make his own holes to run thru, however if someone said that (as they have) I think I know what they mean. He still does not hit itquick enuf. Not enuf explosion. He has improved tho and possibly the rest of this season will help him for next and beyond. -
Spiller's crucial flaw
starrymessenger replied to SageAgainstTheMachine's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As a RB, to me the main problem is that CJ stilldoes not hit the hole fast enuf. He's improving but not there yet. He is not a power back who can be expected to make his living breaking tackles. -
sorry its pretty clear he matches up well against the best cover corner in football. now if we only had a corner that can shut down Welker we'd be cookin.
-
He's better than M. Crabtree (#10 0verall pick) and better than Housh in his prime. Someone will pay him. Just pray that they are not in our Division (unless its us of course).
-
second pass was not catchable. bad throw.
-
...and you know what...I seriously dislike Burress anyway...what did he say about Blo? "Great wings"? He is a seriously disrespectful tool that himself deserves to be disrespected. He is also a moron, packin a pistol only to shoot himself. oh, and BTW, if it hasn't been previously mentioned, this is the second time SJ has owned Revis...if Fitz had been on his game in Buffalo SJ would have put up big numbers. Sign him, or franchise him (and then sign him).
-
Yeah, if the owner & the front office forget to do it, the fans take over and look after it.

Suh is a dope, and he is in denial. In football, as in many other sports, violent aggression is a virtue - Boxing, that octagon stuff, hockey, baseball (yes baseball- remember Bob Gibson? - he was a nasty bad man). But all these sports have and indeed need rules to prevent them from degenerating into meaningless free for alls. And knowing how to play within the rules, while at the same time being a complete badass, is what separates the great ones from the flash in the pans. That is why Vontaze Burfict may never be another Dick Butkus, even though he is a better athlete than Mr Butkus ever was and has as much aggression in him. Suh seems inclined to follow the path of Albert Haynesworth instead of another guy we love to hate - Vince Wilfork - or yet another pretty "dirty" tackle - Warren Sapp, who, like them or not, are/were great players. Its a shame to see all that talent go to waste, but that is exactly what will happen unless the light goes on in Suh's head, and soon. He is a marked man and the refs watch his every move as under a micoscope. And he won't be getting the benefit of any doubts. He doesn't like them, but they don't like him either (whether they admit it or not). It gets nasty in the trenches. That Packer lineman horse collared Suh to the ground and held him down but did not draw a flag. And you know, Suh's stomp was not a big deal (unlike Haynesworth's 30 stitch number)- it was just a nuisance kick. If Suh really wanted to stomp the guy and inflict real damage, he could have, but did not do that. What he did was mostly dumb, because it blew him up and his team's chances in that important game (and maybe for the year). What the great one's do is manage and control their violently aggressive tendencies with game awareness. They understand that the real objective is to beat, not kill the opponent. That is a pretty tall order and thats why while many may be called, few are chosen. Looking like the great N. Suh will not make that roster.
-
Exactly. That guy's arm just happened to be where Suh was stomping. As Suh himself will tell you (over and over again) he's misunderstood. And he did apologize, let me see if I can get this straight, "for putting the refs in a position to hurt the team". This guy is very immature or very stupid or both.

Fitz is the only qb I want in Buffalo-lamp
starrymessenger replied to Clippers of Nfl's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The gig is up. Chan put Fitz in a position to succeed, but now the opposition has made the necessary adjustments. Chan, and Fitz, cannot counter with a different scheme because Fitz lacks the required physical skill set to make the necessary throws. "Smoke and mirrors" as Chan himself has said, meaning not enuf substance. Bills will draft a QB in round one if someone they like is there when they pick. -
Super dumb move. Hurt his team today bigtime. Makes me think again about Vontaze Burfict. Love the aggression/violence. Hate the lack of discipline.

Stevie Johnson Stock Dropping.....

Lol. Love it. -
Stevie Johnson Stock Dropping.....
starrymessenger replied to BuffaloWest's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If you are Buddy Nix (or the Buffalo Bills) and you do not sign Steve Johnson to a multi-year deal, you are an idiot. Johnson is better than Michael Crabtree (remember him/2009 draft) and one of the top #2 receivers in the NFL. Pair him with a legitimate # 1 (and a good passer) and you probably get a hybrid # 1-2 in terms of performance. Plus you need to send a message to the guys on your roster and to FAs. He's a Bill. He needs to stay a Bill. He needs to get paid. -
Is there any doubt we need a FRANCHISE QB ?
starrymessenger replied to Reed'scatch83's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Give him another O-Line and some different wideouts and he will fail. Why? Cause he just can't make the throws. Its that simple. He's not a good passer. -

starrymessenger replied to Reed'scatch83's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
ok, I sort of buy into this. Gailey developed a scheme to suit what Fitz (and our WRs and our O-Line) could do. Slants, screens etc...timing patterns. But what happens when the opposition figures it out? Logically you would counter their adjustments but Ah - there's the rub. Fitz does not have the ability to stretch the field, even if he had receivers who could separate from press coverage. So where do you go from here? You go find yourself a QB who can make all the throws (or at least most of them). With things being what they are, there is a chance we have not seen the worst yet. BTW he does not throw a particularly good slant either. Off target frequently, no touch. He is not a good passer.
