Josh Rosen, not worth a 2018 1st rounder.
KevinInThe781 replied to gr8billsfan's topic in College Football
Hey OP, barring catastrophic injury I'd bet my entire 401k that Rosen is going to be a 1st rounder... and he will be, unless Roger Goodell issues a decree that Buddy Ryan's ghost is the GM of all 32 NFL teams. -
Josh Rosen brings UCLA ALL THE WAY BACK!
KevinInThe781 replied to CanadianFan's topic in College Football
Just so I have this correct - we once drafted a kid that didn't win a single game in his senior season and that was cool, but this kid leads an epic comeback win but somehow that's not good enough? -
Josh Rosen brings UCLA ALL THE WAY BACK!
KevinInThe781 replied to CanadianFan's topic in College Football
Man I love the kid's moxy. If we are going to burn a 1st rounder on QB1 in 2018 I'd want it to be with a kid like this. For a city and a fanbase that requires resiliency he showed that in spades tonight. -
This. Anything beyond day 5 from now is a guess / coin flip, regardless of model, although personally I would put a little more stock in the ECMWF models than the GFS. It's going to crush the Bahamas but in terms of US landfall it could be a just fish storm in the Atlantic or it could be a Cat 5 hitting the coast. It is still too soon to tell. That said, even if BUF/CAR is moved due to weather, it's not going to be to Orchard Park. It would be a Monday Night game at a neutral site, i.e. Ford Field.

Does Gilmore want to be here?
KevinInThe781 replied to tedstrong's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He looked like he didn't want to be here from the moment he was selected. -
Bills Release Jeff Tuel and Claim Matt Simms
KevinInThe781 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Who could have guessed Jeff Tuel would have ended up starting for games for the Bills than Kevin Kolb and Tavaris Jackson combined. In Bills history, I'd rank Tuel above Billy Joe Hobert, but below Gale Gilbert, Travis Brown, and Brian Brohm. -
Bills Release Jeff Tuel and Claim Matt Simms
KevinInThe781 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Keep your head up Jeff - word on the street is the Pats are in need of a QB for the first few weeks of the season. Just sayin'. -
Hey, I remember when Mark Chmura pulled this move on Bill Clinton. Good times.

Crabtree wanted to come to Buffalo per John Clayton
KevinInThe781 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Just the fact that there are players such as Crabtree that are asking to come here is a refreshing sea change -
Reactions you hear at work (for those not in WNY)
KevinInThe781 replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Same reaction I've gotten from my co-workers in Boston. Sports talk radio in this town sees this as just one more example that the Bills are a laughingstock and not to be taken seriously. "Be glad you glad you aren't a fan of that team" was one of the lines used. I don't consider Pats fans to be particularly astute or nuanced, since football was invented in 2001 for almost all of them. So I'm not surprised by the reaction. -
Head Coach candidate: Greg Roman
KevinInThe781 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No one else can hold a candle to him! -
The closest example I can think of is Bill Belichick quitting as HC of NYJ on his first day on the job, then immediately becoming the head coach of the Pats. There was never any tampering charges against the Pats, and Belichick swears that he didn't already have the HC job lined up for the Pats, he just "wasn't comfortable with the situation in New York" (wink wink, nudge nudge).

Reason #147 I love Boobie Dixon
KevinInThe781 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, sorry about that... that was the immortal Bryce Brown. On the plus side, crow tastes delicious this time of night. -
Head Coach Candidate: Adam Gase
KevinInThe781 replied to Joaquin1119's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
On the plus side, "The Gase Face" would be a great fantasy football team name and ode to old-skool rap. -
Reason #147 I love Boobie Dixon
KevinInThe781 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I take it one of the other 146 reasons wasn't fumbling at the goal line against Kansas City. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Boobie D - but that cost big time this season. -
Scathing article in NY Daily News on Marrone
KevinInThe781 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good question. What head coach - in any sport - should ever take seriously what is said on sports talk radio about them? "Listen, if you start worrying about the people in the stands, before too long you're up in the stands with them." - Tommy Lasorda -
Yes, but only so Parcells can then claim that he worked for every team in the AFC East.

Has Marrone's credibility as a Head Coach taken a hit?
KevinInThe781 replied to gjv001's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bill Belichick quit on the Jets after one day. Nick Saban quit on Michigan State, then LSU, then the Dolphins. The point is, you can go back on your word, be world class dink, and still be a good coach. Marrone so far has proven to be the first two, it remains to be seen if he is the third. -

My annual, before the season starts, post....
KevinInThe781 replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I look forward to this every year. It is also a great reminder of a what a dink Rick Rilley is. -

Bills officially for sale - let the bidding begin!
KevinInThe781 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When we talk about Bon Jovi's group - I would argue that MLSE needs Jon Bon Jovi more than he needs MLSE in this process. If the Bills don't go to MLSE (hopefully likely), then he will simply move on to the next consortium in the next city looking to purchase an NFL team that is up for sale. JBJ's seemingly stated goal is to become an NFL owner, and the particular city or team invovled I believe is agnostic to that goal. I can't help but wonder if the meeting was more Goodell providing future advice in this regard to ownership - because more NFL will come up for sale - as oppossed to it being specific to the Bills. Or, it could be Bon Jovi was scribbling down song lyrics that came to his head for his next record.
