I can't endorse a player who participated in 4 - 8 plays a game. Maybe -- MAYBE -- a kicker who scored over a 1,000 points in his Bills career. But not a punter. Yes, Mooman was good. Very Good. But not wall worthy. The standard for me is production and longevity. The vast majority of the career needs to be in Buffalo. My choice goes back to my youth - Bob Chandler. Chandler played nine seasons with the Buffalo Bills (1971–1979) and three with the Oakland Raiders (1980–1982). He led the NFL in receptions from 1975–1977 (Bills years) with 176, and was named Second-Team All-Pro in 1975 and 1977 (again Bills years).

Evaluation of 5 Quarterbacks in the 2017 Draft
I_want_2_BILL_Lieve replied to GunnerBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Outstanding work. QBs are so over valued in the draft. While you list them where they SHOULD be, most assuredly, they will be picked earlier than listed. Still, this was an excellent read. -
I was a high school freshman at the time. Shortly after the worst of it, my mom made me go two houses over to an elderly lady's house to see if she needed milk, or bread or other supplies. I put on my winter coat, and boots (with the required bread bags as liners) and pulled my brothers runner sled to her house in anticipation of hauling a load. Had to shovel her steps just to get the front door. I rang the bell and she came to the door in her house coat. I asked if she needed me to go the store for her. Yes, she replied and went back in to get money and a list. There were only 2 things on the list: Genny Cream Ale and cigarettes. For the life of me I cannot remember if I actually walked the half mile to the nearest corner store. I also remember taking a city bus to school a week later. I stood at the corner of Parkside and Amherst on top of a huge snow bank waiting for my bus. It was about 7 feet off the ground, looking down on the cars and could see the top of my bus. The street sign was at my ankles. I was actually worried the sharp street sign would cut my ankles.

I admit I know very little about Lynn. What is a concern about him is his career trajectory. From running backs coach, to OC, to HC in one season. That is not his fault, but it sure is an indictor of how poorly run the Bills staff is/was. I DO like how I hear how he holds people accountable. This team needs a disciplinarian coach. I think most fans agree with that. Sammy indicated in his interview that that is what he wanted in a coach. Thats why Coughlin is appealing to so many. I think a Coughlin type is what we need. Like all Bills fans, I want stability. So I need a younger guy that will be around for the next 10 years. Is Lynn that guy? I don't know. But Whaley REALLY needs to get this right. I don't want marketing victories, I need football victories.

Common denominator on first 3 picks

Not the color of the skin, but the colors they wear. Blue, white and red, and it better have a buffalo on it. -
Super Bowl 50 game thread

Way to go Wade P. Good call on D. -
I think it was Pat Kirwan on Sirius Radio who stated that technology has made life miserable for the part time refs. We sit at home, with our high def, massive screen TVs that are able to show any given play in slow motion from several different angles. And the refs have to make a call in on the field in real time without the benefit of what we have on our couches. Meanwhile the rule book gets thicker every year, all in an effort to protect player safety. Football in general has become more difficult for me to watch. It's not because my love of the game has changed. Every game I see calls that make me think that more and more games are being decided not by players, but by overtaxed on field officials. I honestly don't think the league is doing enough to help the refs call the game correctly.

Bills vs. Jaguars 2nd Half Thread

I used to come home from church and then get grumpy. Today I get to go to church grumpy. Not much of a difference actually. -
Attn Bills FANS: Log off for the night
I_want_2_BILL_Lieve replied to ThurmasThoman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What bothers me the most is the variability of what is called and isn't by the same ref crew in the same game. In the first quarter, I think it was Robert Woods was running a go route down the left side and he was getting molested. "The refs are letting play physical today" said the announcer. Well, sometimes yes, and other times -- the foul is called but it is invisible even when rewinding the play. And it's not just a Bills problem. It's a NFL problem. And frankly, it makes every game less enjoyable when consecutive plays are flagged. -

Fast forward home opener inside the CBS booth, Solomon Wilcots: And this highly touted Bills Beels defense holds Andrew Luck three and out on their first possession Spero Dedes: So after a 36 yard punt we get to see Matt Cassell and the Bills offense Solomon Wilcots: Bills are hoping new weapons such as McCoy Harvin and Clay will add firepower to their offense Spero Dedes: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!! EJ MANUEL Trots out there !!!! Speed Dedes: Solomon?... Solomon? ... Solomon?!?!?! There, now I can believe it.

Johnny "Football" getter done Doug

Didn't his teammate Joe Thomas say he had " lost probably a lot of trust among the guys on the team last year by the way he handled himself once he became the starter." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000483552/article/joe-thomas-johnny-manziel-lost-a-lot-of-trust-in-2014 He's been in rehab, and has not been studying film, or taking any off season reps. No thanks. -
Are you in favor of changing PAT rule?
I_want_2_BILL_Lieve replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Looks like 24 blocked punts in 2014. Given the number of punts, I'd say that statically, a blocked punt is slightly more likely to happen than a missed extra point. However, the difference is that a punt is a scoring play for the receiving team. 13 punts were returned for TDs last year. -

I_want_2_BILL_Lieve replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
All of 6 misses for all of the 2014 season. Time to think about a change. Even from the 40, kickers are surprisingly accurate. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/kicking/sort/fieldGoalPct I like the idea of the defense being able to score on an XPT, like in collage.
