Would you want Tebow here as a Tight End?
Just in Atlanta replied to Nanker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
How about linebacker? -
Trevor Pryce on Rex Ryan in the NYT (good piece)
Just in Atlanta replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Think a half way point would be preferable. At some point, everyone--even coaches--need to be human. And let's remember Bilichick lost the last Superbowl, and Ryan made it to two AFC championships. Used socks? Do I even want to know what you're implying? -

Just in Atlanta replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Fabulous read. Thanks for sharing. I've always liked Rex Ryan, and don't understand why so many people don't. He's honest. And funny. Seems like he is the anti Bilichick, a guy who cut a player the day before the Superbowl last year. -
Chan is a great coach...if he gets a great QB

As a UGA grad, every school, Tech included, has classes for jocks. What did Calvin Johnson major in? -
Chan is a great coach...if he gets a great QB
Just in Atlanta replied to BisonMan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
True, we'd probably love him if Fitz were playing as well as I thought he would this year and if we were in the playoff hunt like I also thought we would be. And Chan's schemes are solid. What he does with screens and the spread offense blows my mind. He's also shown some flashes of brilliance. Plus, he's likable--I wanted him to succeed. I still do. But he's also shown some flashes of ineptitude. Lately, his playcalling has been wretched. Time management, worse. We all know he's not using our most powerful weapon, Spiller, nearly enough. And the record--seriously...it's pathetic. He can't beat our biggest rivals here, or at Georgia Tech. Three wins against the AFCE. And not once did he beat my alma matter, UGA, in the five or so years he coached there. He's had his shot. If he wasn't able to get us in the playoff hunt with this talent, it's time to move on. Thirteen years, no playoffs. Three years under Gailey, we still have a losing record. Will he do better with a better QB? Probably. But I fear it's not enough. -

We're serfs. !@#$ing ridiculous the IRS would waste their time with this. -
If Gailey is retained how bout Alex Smith?
Just in Atlanta replied to 26TrapDraw's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Fitzmoney. That's funny. His contract is quite average, as his abilities. Signing Alex Smith is ridiculous. His skills are only slightly better than Fitz. Smith thrived because of defense. He was unseated midseason. Tired of this constant drumbeat of picking up other teams' throwaways. Let's draft a young QB, and have him learn behind Fitz. -
Everybody Hates the Bills (song)
Just in Atlanta replied to Heitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Solo D has a point. Even I hate the Bills. And I love the Bills. -
If Fitz sees his passes intercepted before he throws it, that may help. Nevermind. If Fitz can see his future INTs, then defenders can too, which means they'll see his next move too.

You mean like Nicolas Cage in Next? Sweet. They already had a good owner, a great coach, a franchise QB. Now they can see in the freakin future.

Are we really not talking about the Jets game?
Just in Atlanta replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Holy shiite. What a circus side show. -
Will CJ get his touches? Last year's stats say "meh"
Just in Atlanta replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We have a Ferrari and we use it to get groceries only. -
NFL Playoff expansion????
Just in Atlanta replied to KellyToTasker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why don't we just make it like Pee Wee football, where everyone gets a trophy even if they sucked? -
We are better than the Cards. 58-0, holy crap...But 3x0 is still zero. Have lost complete faith in this team. Rams did me in. And I was a Chan fan/apologist.
-
Seriously? Vick is on the downside of his career. He is only a slight improvement. Further, this offense is a quick strike offense. I don't think that is Vick's style. He'd have to learn a new one, or our already decent offense would have to adjust to his style. We need to draft someone, period. Enough already with this "I heard of him so let's sign him" mentality.

Four QB's and two kickers...
Just in Atlanta replied to Dragonborn10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have no problems with nicknames like Capt. Checkdown. Edwards aptly deserved it. But can we please stop calling people we don't know names like "Pigpen"? No reason for that. He's a backup--I've never even see him play in a regular season game in a Bills uni--and he's never done anything to you that I know of. And no, everybody doesn't know if TJ can start this week. Unless you have a hidden camera at practice, you don't either. -
All Bills pass plays vs Jaguars all drawn up
Just in Atlanta replied to jonramz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, thanks. This is great. -
Unfortunately, yes. When we lost to the Colts, I thought it was over. Now... Sick, huh? It's like that dork who always hits on the hottest women, thinking it'll happen someday.
-
I wish I never clicked this thread. Now, I'm actually thinking playoffs, which is an unhealthy pastime given the previous 12 years.

would you rather win out or loss out.
Just in Atlanta replied to buffalover4life's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The assumption is because we get a top 10, we'll magically get a great pick. That hasn't been the case with us in 12 years. The Pats, and Steelers, however, which pick in the bottom 10, probably pick better than we do. Heavily prefer us winning out and heading into next season with momentum, and respect. Matter of fact, if we don't beat the Jags, I probably won't watch another game this season. I prefer to watch my team win, not lose. No contest for me unless it's a No. 1 pick. -
My take on Chan: Many of us, myself included, were enchanted with his ability to conjure up an offense to maximize strengths and minimize weaknesses. Our offense during the first half of last year was a thing of beauty to me. Fun to watch, and effective. But many of us, myself included, got it wrong. We thought Chan designed the offense to maximize Fitz' strength--quick decision making--and to minimize the offensive line's weakness--inability to hold a pass rush. That is totally backwards. Rather, the line, it turns out, even without Cordy Glenn, is above average. And it's painfully clear that Fitz will never be able to throw it deep. Hence, a magic grab bag of well-designed, but now expected, screen passes. Only now, we have a brilliant weapon in CJ Spiller, and we're using him considerably less than we should because Chan prefers to conjure up his plays based on what the defenses are throwing us. I have no problem with this--if we had a QB who could chuck it accurately more than eight yards. But that's not the case. Will it change next year?--I don't know.
