    NFL.com: Bills #1 need in draft is OT

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    I don't believe we should be drafting a WR in the first unless a fluke gives us a top 10 pick. But when I see people listing how stacked we are at WR, it makes me cringe. We have Watkins and Woods at WR. The rest are just backup/role player warm bodies.

    Of the rest, we have Goodwin, if he plays, if he lasts more than 5 plays before another injury. He has talent, but not the durable body for it,or the passion for it. His passion is elsewhere.

    The rest, warm bodies. Where is the talent that at least has a high ceiling?

    Kujo and Henderson have had their years to show real progress. Use injuries as an excuse, but neither has shown a progression toward being adequate. This is the year for Miller to show real progression, so I give him part of a season more to start showing he gets it. If not, it is time to find someone else. This team is full of warm bodies with low ceilings.

    And the owner chose Ryan over a quality defense and shot themselves in the foot, causing that huge gap that needs to be fixed by tossing Mario. Now they need to fix the hole by using a precious high draft pick. It was not about money with Mario, remember he is playing for only 1 million more cap than what we are paying him not to play for us this year. It was all about satisfying Ryan's ego and getting rid of Mario.

    We were just a QB and a couple of players away from a decent roster before Ryan. Now we are a team in yet another 3 year rebuild mode again.

    One of the few bright spots this year is we MIGHT have a possibility of a bridge QB for the next couple of years and time to develop a QB of the future.

    Says the guy who sides with a guy who quit on his teammates and the fans. Cutting Mario had NOTHING to do with ego. Mario made sure he would be cut all by himself and Ryan left him out in the field to show it to the whole world.

     

    Not going to even comment on the rest of the drivel but sounds like we should all hide out in our bunkers like you as it will be a rough year. Yea, right....

    Think the owners stick together when you screw one of them (by exercising the santa claus) you screw them all...he'll get another chance but only after he learns his lesson..hell, he might be back in Buffalo after the Twins tank and Mario has 20 sacks for New England

    Agreed. It took Mularkey over a decade to get another HC job (the interim HC jobs aside)

    Agree, that is the biggest area he needs to improve on. Getting physically stronger wouldn't hurt either.

     

     

     

    huh? In addition to being a film room junkie, he is a workout warrior. Not sure he can put much more bulk in without it impacting 2 KEY areas that are critical: his throwing capability and his elusiveness. Unfortunately he just has a slimmer build and is not ideal height...which is probably the biggest reason he dropped to the 6th round

    Jets game plan: let Bills beat themselves

    This absolutely is a Charles Clay week. The Bills will 100% need to pass the ball to open up the running game. This game will NOT go down like the Miami week where they run a lot and eventually just get some big plays.[/quote

    I agree on Clay being a big part, as well. He was a big part of the first Miami game and you could see them focusing on him (and the run) in the 2nd which left Sammy in single coverage. Woods, Hogan and Shady on swings out of the backfield will also be big

    I'm sure they only count legal streams ;)

    My stream was always choppy during the game but the commercials were not for me as well. And the commercials looked to be in full HD resolution whereas the game never was.

    Everything was clear and in full HD with no chop for me. Much better than my local Fox channel which is heavily compressed and 720p at best

    I think it was at the this stage of camp, I am not 100% sure but I think it was at this stage of camp but I could be wrong. Looking into the stat now.

     

    EDIT: It was at the end of camp. Camp is almost over as another poster pointed out.

    Looks like 31 before the start of the 2013 season so 2 weeks still to go for this season. (yes, technically the next 2 weeks are no longer considered "camp" - so what are the next 2 weeks called? :unsure: )

    UPDATED: Khalil Mack vs Sammy Watkins

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Justify that please, because I can far more reasonably say that we'd have 3 fewer wins with Mack than Sammy. Sammy made crucial plays against Miami, Minnesota, and Detroit that delivered wins. Please show me how substituting Mack would've meant (a) also winning those games, and (b) winning two others among:

     

    SD

    Houston

    NE

    KC

    Miami

    Denver

    Ok:

     

    SD: Mack would have strip sacked Rivers for a turnover in field goal range and defended several passes to Gates preventing an SD TD (Bills win)

     

    Houston: Mack would have broken Fitzgerald's leg early in the game "crippling" the Houston offense (Bills win)

     

    NE: Mack would have shut down Gronk making the NE offense impotent (Bills win)

     

    There are 3 more wins for you. Need I go on? How could you possibly ask for a hypothetical response against actual facts...seriously??

     

    That is one of the more pompous responses I have seen here in a while. Oh, and this is coming from someone that is ok with the Watkins trade.

    Jeremy White: All-22 Review - Bills at Jets

    It's not addressing the issues and combating the criticisms when your examples support the opposition. :lol: The complainers are saying he should have passed more and should have done more of exactly the things that Jwhite was showing worked, which if they would have, would have won the game earlier and easier.

    Rarely post and read this site daily. I think your posts are normally on point (well I agree with the,m at least), but you have recently been unfairly all over the OC in my opinion. There was no need to push anything in this game. They picked their spots to push...and apparently chose well...and picked their spots to run clock and keep the Jets honest (by running up the middle)

     

    Don't forget, the Jets front 7 and Rex Ryan pressure packages are very dangerous and could easily have changed the direction of the game with a sack-turnover. With an inconsistent Oline, young/new players at the skill positions (other than Chandler), this was a sound game plan and the OC and play caller (Marrone?) deserve credit in this case.
