Rumor: Trade up discussion with Giants
MarlinTheMagician replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Just say no to Rosen. I trust them picking among the others, and even Rosen if he is their guy. I will be as big a fan as anyone if he is picked, but I think he gets broken in the NFL and has a high-risk of being a pain in the tail. And I think he would hate, hate being in Buffalo. -
Rumor: Trade up discussion with Giants

Two concussions and a rotator cuff. Shut down after six games in 2016. Shoulder surgery he characterized as "minor" - but who knows (I trust Beane to find out, hate to see a repeat of two years ago). I believe 6'4" but seriously question 225. Does not appear that thickly built. No thanks. He is a highly opinionated West Coast guy who I just can't see loving the cold, the snow, and, frankly. our town. He "treasures" playing in LA according to one interview. Read a lot about him, but who knows if accurate. Please no. -

Anybody but Rosen. Can't see him wanting to be here, can't see him fitting with this regime (doesn't "trust the process"), already said he didn't want to be in Cleveland, fragile. I don't believe we would ever take him, and I will be bitterly disappointed if we do! -
Mason & Washington
MarlinTheMagician replied to MarlinTheMagician's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I asked what people thought. I don't watch a ton of college ball. Saw Rudolph play once or twice only, same with the others. I can't tell from that. What prompted the question is I have read a lot about Washington and like him. Opinions on Rudolph vary widely. At least a couple of scouting sites have him as the top QB in the draft. Others have the view expressed above - nothing special. I was hoping for insight rather than snark. -
Was really intrigued by idea of taking Mason Rudolph and James Washington back-to-back. May not have to move at all. You have a 6'5" QB and your X, Y and a new Z receiver. You give your QB his college security blanket. Sign a Bradford/Keenum type as a bridge and away you go. What do people think?

If the 4th down had failed at the 40 he would have been crucified. That is what made the call so great - coach knew that, but did it anyhow. The safe "they did a nice job getting there with a back-up" reputation-assuring thing to do at your 40 is punt. However, that, IMHO, would have been the reckless move. I believe it would have sealed the Eagles fate. Eagles D was gassed and showed no sign of being able to slow, much less stop, Brady. It was a tremendously courageous game-winning decision that cannot be diminished. He would have been crucified if it failed, but it still would have been the right move. Tip of my cap to the man, so impressive.

Brady is by far better than Montana in my view. Different time - Montana had loaded, loaded rosters. Brady doing it in era of parity is sick. Hate him, but give the devil his due.

Congratulations Steven Means!

Nice! Congrats Mr. Means! -
Now it begins. Buffalo and Offense.
MarlinTheMagician replied to RalphWilson'sNewWar's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
McDermott and Beane took over a hot mess left by the Ryan carnival. For once, I have complete faith in the ability of the Bills organization to be on top of the trends and to have the ability to fashion a roster to win in the NFL as it exists today and is going to exist five years from now. -
I have been a strong TT supporter for a host of reasons. But I think we need a QB who can get it down the field. So while I wish TT the very, very best, I think it is time to get a QB. McDermott and Beane will know better than I by far, but based on what I know I would like: Baker.

Pick one to stay, TT or Dennison.
MarlinTheMagician replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Dennison is horrible. Keep TT and let our draft pick QB take over when ready. Stinks losing today, but in many years of fandom this is one of my all-time favorite Bills teams. We don't have all that much talent. McDermott squeezed every drop out of the team. They played like a team and they played smart. With some money and a fistful of picks better days are coming! -
Roll Call: Going to Jacksonville
MarlinTheMagician replied to billsfanmiami(oh)'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Marlin will be in the house with not less than five others. Tickets remain to be scalped and flights arranged, but we will flip at least six seats Buffalo's direction. -
“Process” Players we are acquiring
MarlinTheMagician replied to Bill_with_it's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I completely agree with the OP. KB seems like a great guy that loves the game and is committed to his profession. Can't have enough of those. Hope we sign him. -
49ers Playing Hard
MarlinTheMagician replied to MarlinTheMagician's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We just need to go beat New England. We are not going to Super Bowl this year absent a miracle. So I don't get all the hand-wringing around getting us in if we lose to NE. Not that big a deal to have a "token" playoff appearance regardless of drought length in my opinion. Just beat New England. If you don't, assume you screwed your playoff chances. This needs to be the mentality. If we don't beat them we are still alive week 17 anyhow, but there is a good chance we don't make it. So what, good for our team to be in a game against a team like Pats where they can win to control their destiny. if they don't, it is just part of team evolution. Backing in does nothing for me personally, don't care if drought is 100 years. I will take the back-in, don't get me wrong -- but front door should be the mentality. Beat the Pats. -

Good, let's beat them when they have everything to play for. Perfect way to end the drought. -

Can't sit Brady can they? If we beat them, door back open for Pitt due to Miami loss by Cheats. Then NEED to beat us - good! -
