Prediction for cut down day: AJ Klein will get cut
machine gun kelly replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall
Monday through Wednesday will be eventful for sure. I expect we ***** up a couple people who are cut casualties. BesidesIm taking the over on the over/under 3 line the Giants grab 3 Bills and are now Giants. -
Who was the staring O-line group today?
machine gun kelly replied to Mooshocker12's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thanks Jkeerie as I could only watch the quarter by quarter highlights. It airs Mooshocker tomorrow at 1 pm on NFLN. If I have time, I’m going to catch it. Lastly, it makes sense with McGovern nursing that small injury. I thought McD said it wasn’t a big deal, just giving him extra rest. Ok, anyone have some feedback on Brown today? -
Silly preseason thread…nickname for the Bills’ offense?
machine gun kelly replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
You want o hear something funny Spikes. I was bouncing at this club near USF in Tampa in 91. I had just moved to Tampa from Buffalo just a few days before the Bills/Giants SB. So anyway, I’m at Club Trends as a bouncer and bartender. It was my side gig as I was a teacher and in grad school. Back then I was freakishly built as I competed as a Powerlifter on a national level. ‘We were told by our manager everyone regardless of age gets proofed. So I did just that. Suave came in without his shirt of course, just that stupid leather multi colored jacket. What a tool. Anyway, his security starts getting in my face, and I’m not letting this guy in without proof. He had to go to the car and get Rico’s passport, because he barely spoke English. I didn’t care. No ID, no entry. He was still an ars clown. Hey, Eman, I like 4D. I can run with that one. I’ll mention it on NFLR this week as when close to the season I chat once a week with pat kirwan and Jim Miller on MTC. They are the best on NFLR. -
I’ll get behind that comment. I’m leaning towards the Bills, not because I’m a homer, but I’m guessing the Jets offense won’t be humming right away, and our defense and offense comes together in this game. The Jets will make every point count. I see a low scoring game where we win 20-17. I wouldn’t be talking down the Bills after that game as the Jets have a punishing defense. Later in the year, even though it will be in OP, I can see an even tougher game at home.

ESPN.com - “Play of the preseason?”
machine gun kelly replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Don’t forget this was in the 4th quarter against Bears players who won’t even make their team. It’s why late in preseason games you see some of these dramatic plays, but it’s not against starters. -
‘I tend to agree with you. I never expected him to start the year, but he’ll most likely go on a pitch count to be safe in the Jags game. The Jags Arent a joke anymore, so we’ll need him. The weakest part of the schedule is the beginning FWIW. We should have no problems with him for the Raiders and Washington. Once he’s placed on pup, he has to miss all 4.

Elam now CB4 and playing kickoff coverage in the preseason
machine gun kelly replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was thinking the same. There will be certain teams we want more press man coverage and that is his strength. Benford was made for more zone backing u- Dane. Dane’s going to get the starting job. -
Elam now CB4 and playing kickoff coverage in the preseason
machine gun kelly replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
For me, once a guy’s drafted, it can’t be a consideration as to playing time. I watched the highlights on you tube and to their credit, each quarter was 8-10 minutes so didn’t miss much of the game. There are injuries every year and we need 4 quality CB’s. It’s just instead of #2 as projected from the draft, he’s #4. It’s certainly a disappointment for a 1st pick, but the idea was good. I think McBeane is going to keep him. On a separate note, I liked what I saw from Benford. -
This team doesn’t need more leaders, and players criticizing other players isn’t leadership. Demonstrating an introspective desire for perfection and discipline shows leadership. Letting your teammates know I won’t personally allow any sloppiness from myself. I’m going to keep working on each basic skill until I master one. That’s leadership. Not tolerating mediocrity and surrounding yourself with like minded others is infectious with groups in the team until you don’t want to not be on the bus. McD has flipped a horrible culture for 17 years of crap. It seems some here have a short memory. I’m 55 and I remember what it’s like when it really sucks. We just finished 13-3. Do you know how ridiculous this sounds to Houston fans as an example? That’s a lack of leadership. Las Vegas, AZ, and even Dallas. That’s a lack of leadership. Players want to come to Buffalo.

Tuesday August 29th is the NFL Cut Down Day
machine gun kelly replied to Gregg's topic in The Stadium Wall
Seven, im not banging on you, but like the guys on Movin the Chains say to callers, add this guy or this contract. Were it coming from? think about it bud. If you are critical and say we need 7, ok. Where’s it coming from and of not cost implications fine. Guys on the board provide wish lists but they don’t provide opportunity costs to put in business terms. I do the same with the draft. Just use the JJ famous draft cost board and when guys propose a draft move up or down I always ask why. As maybe you I’ve been very successful in business for a long time. we all need to think through “we need 7”. Ok, which offensive unto loses a slot. once you have time to digest what you think is the 53, what’s the exchange? What’s the cost of there is one? another example. Guys say, get Jonathan Taylor! Ok. What player or draft picks are you giving up, is it a requisite value, whee are you getting the $ to pay him, does he fit into the scheme we are trying to employ? I just wish guys would provide real cogent and complete answers that are .logical as I think a lot of the guys on the board are opening to new ideas. this reply, you never answered the questions. I know the concerns and respect that POV. I do, but answer the question. Take away an o linemen when we already basically lost one to retirement and another to a season ending injury. Do you want to go to 2 QB’s? 3RB’s given one will be Gilliam as this team values him. What about that gamble. Again who? Defense. ThTs another litany of questions. Do you see where I’m going with this train of thought. I would accept we are taking 6 and think through who you think meets all our needs. That includes backup ability and ST play. Not just WR. WR 5 and 6 almost never make the field so I’m pragmatic. Shorter can be a ST gunner. Maybe red zone later. isabella could fill in for Harty we think if we’re as he was managed on a train wreck at AZ. Nothing is in question on the front four. we’re going with Diggs, Davis, Sherfield, and Harty. If you want Shakir, even though a kid round 5th round pick has done nothing and picked almost the exact same spot as shorter, then who doesn’t get a musical chair on Offense? I swear I’m not antagonizing. Maybe you think we can just get by with DK2 at TE even though the team wants a 12 personnel do cut Morris. Ok, but unlikely. O Line. They have historically been hurt and we almost always like the league keep 9, but who and why? I hope my tone comes across the right way. It’s not to bust your chops at all. Just finish. Add something, take something away. What? -
Tuesday August 29th is the NFL Cut Down Day
machine gun kelly replied to Gregg's topic in The Stadium Wall
Where do you take it from? Add that to your comment. Tell me where you provide more scarcity at another position group on offense as you’re not going to take from the defense. Youre comment is only half the full comment. -
No, because a perfect backup is a capable guy who is polished, experienced, can give you 2 & 2 in a 4 game stretch. Your third is a later round developmental guy who needs work. That’s what he is at the end of the day. You don’t trade for a 3rd place project. You just don’t. If you see a guy in the 5th rd next year in the draft who has saw talent you can develop over 4 years, you do it. Youre second is like a Trubisky guy, or Keenum, or Bridgewater. Bridgett and so on. The 2nd string guy doesn’t have to have a style like Josh because there is only one of him. So a pocket guy is fine for a couple of games. Someone who makes good decisions. I was a little disappointed Fitzy last year didn’t want to finish with us to hang out for the year. When we are blowing out teams, he’d get a standing ovasion for mop up duty. He’s moved on and good for him as he’s done a nice job on Prime.

Josh Allen and starters will play against the Bears
machine gun kelly replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
Besides the first series I can see Briwn getting extensive line play along with Torrence, and the other three rest. I wouldn’t have Knox last more than a series, but longer for Kincaid. I think they go longer than a series for Sherfield, and Harty, and Isabella all game. Cook and Murray can go a couple of rounds, then just let the guys who will be PS for the rest. The only guys on defense who should play past the first series are all these MLB guys competing for the starting job. Just my perspective. -
First, TY Chans. This was thorough, and had a fair and measured approach. There are hits and misses in every draft. This will be 5th or more time I’ve said this point. A man I respect and most of you as well, Bill Polian. He has said multiple times on Late Hits on NFLR where he is a host on Wed nights has self proclaimed he hit on 58% of his drafts lifetime. Now he wears the gold jacket, and is in the Bills history books as an all time great. It places things in perspective for one of my heroes growing up is giving his audience realistic expectations. The 49ers and Bills have had hits and misses. If Purdy was healthy in last years playoffs, there may have been a different outcome in the NFCCG and the 49ers may have been in the SB. I like Chan that you live the Bills, can be both positive and critical of the Bills with the heart of seeing the most out of the Bilks even though it like every other team has flaws. I consider SF and Philly on the same tier for the NFC. Dallas is ina lower tier not just because I hate them. I will say because of Dabs and Schoen am quietly rooting for the Giants. I want as many of our guys who don’t make the 53 gets tagged to the Giants. Give Daboll something to work with to hold up against Dallas. They have the coaching advantage as McCarthy is an idiot.

Tuesday August 29th is the NFL Cut Down Day
machine gun kelly replied to Gregg's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m sure Beane is shopping Basham or Epenesa, Cam Lewis, maybe even Shakir. If he can get value, we have the depth. My thoughts are we may go with 4 DE’s and 5 DT’s. I like Ford, and the others are valuable especially we have the time to allow Phillips to get to 100%. On the other hand we can live with 4 on the end if we have Von on PUP for 4 weeks. Then when Von is cleared we’ll probably shed Shaq. At the end of the day we only need only 1 either Boogie or Epenesa. Not both. Beane May as well get something in draft compensation. They were both 2nd rd picks. Were too deep at WR so if he stuck with history, we’ll probably end up with Diggs, Davis, Sherfield, and Harty. Isabella can back up Harty, and Shorter as the 6th as he’ll end up on ST, and maybe if he’s lucky at the end of the year be in a couple of red zone plays for the back shoulder pass with his size. My point. Shakir is expendable. I won’t keep going on Cam, but you guys get my logic and the OP is right. Beane loves August surprise trades as well as August extensions. We already have I think with the comp pick I think 10 picks. Add to that and maybe we get a couple more. Knowing Beane’s history, that gives him a lot of latitude to bundle picks next year to get higher quality players. Beane wasn’t GM of the year two years ago by accident. This is why I tune out to all the chicken crying the sky is falling on Beane sucks crap. His peers consider him one of the best, yet a small minority of TBDers think they are smarter and more accomplished than the experts who wield the wand. There’s only 32 of them and ours has built a team with talent that drew 10-6 (because we didn’t care about the Jets finale), 13-3, 11-6, and 13-3. Yeah he’s horrible. The negativity has gone to new heights on the team that has one of the best records for the last 4 years. That makes us 2nd overall. KC 52-14 Bills 47-18 GB 47-19 Bal 43-22 SF 42-24 Im not Pollyanna on this team as it needs to improve in some areas, but I’m not taking a doom and gloom approach either after we had one embarrassing loss in a meaningless game. Just a measured approach in looking at this team. I love my Bills, and I also see some her warts. After all it’s not Madden. I think Monday will be more interesting than Saturdays game as that will be about getting 43-69 lined up with the last 10 of the 53 and the PS. Monday on the other hand May end up inventful of the past is a prelude to the future as it pertains to Beane’s track record. -
Barley, Agreed, but they had to bolster other aspects of the roster. I look at Dorian as a red shirt year backup to Milano, while being groomed for the mic in 24. I can see as we have more pics next year and with the comp an extra 3rd, taking a Tackle high unless Brown somehow puts it together. This is a familiar scene with Dawkins thinking he’s in the 70’s he goes to camp to get in shape vs being in shape. He will put it together. He’s cheap for a LT on a 2nd contract. Its too early, but we’ll need a Safety as well as Hyde’s contract will be up and we’ll have one more year with Poyer. Take the safety a year early so they can groom him for the Hyde or Poyer role and Rapp swing in 24 for the starting job vs. big nickel this year and backing up our 30 something guys. Lastly, we’ll probably take a WR high as they are cheaper than free agents.

Colts grant Jonathan Taylor’s request to seek trade
machine gun kelly replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
That’s why i wrote earlier Carolina would be an excellent landing spot from Indy’s standpoint. A weak team wit a rookie QB needing help and in the opposite conference. Indy wouldn’t want to trade with a contender in the AFC. There are three competing players. Indy, Walker, but also the buying team. Sure Miami may want him, but that doesn’t mean if the same offer is given between Miami and Carolina, where is Indy siding on that fence. -
Colts grant Jonathan Taylor’s request to seek trade
machine gun kelly replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
So where do the Bills leverage their future by extending who to free up another $12 mil/yr. Also, how high of a draft pick do we give up as Indy says he’s worth a 1st. according to Indy. -
Has anyone checked on Louis Riddick? (Trey Lance news...)
machine gun kelly replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
Shocker! An ESPN analyst who is so far out there it’s laughable. Not directed towards you eman as you’re a friend. My sarcasm is towards that ars clown of a network. They replaced years ago analysis with click bait hot takes. -
Lime, that and we’ll most likely see more Rapp inserted vs. heavy run and TE set teams as he would compliment Taron. Keep Taron out there for obvious passing downs.

Colts grant Jonathan Taylor’s request to seek trade
machine gun kelly replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
The article yesterday based on a pod cast with Donte Whitney espousing how we are in the hunt or have an interest in Tayler is just a guy out of the spotlight, trying to get back into it. We have no $, and we already have 3 RB’s who can get the job done. I can see Murray as the compliment to Cook in the beginning while Harris heals up with his leg issue. Then insert Harris for the bulk of the season allowing Murray to rest as we’ll need him for December and the playoffs. We already pass 67% of the time, and the league avg us around 60%. We may want to float down to the low 60’s to ease Allen from feeling we have to pass on every play. -
When did Steve Tasker become such a homer?
machine gun kelly replied to Mister Defense's topic in The Stadium Wall
Defense, I work I. Rare disease orphan drug sales and our corporate decisions are very easy to see the ramifications of choices, but I am very careful as to what I say and even more what I write about my company. It’s the way of the world. It’s why you get some criticism from the WGR analysts, but not OBL. They work for the Pegulas.
