I Am Not Optimistic Going Into This Season
Nihilarian replied to longtimebillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Let's all face it...that Bengals game and recently that Steelers game let us Bills fans wondering what is going on? First off, the window won't close until Josh Allen retires as he is the heart and soul of the team. So many are making conjectures about why the Bills are not the talk of this offseason. (Which in my opinion is a good thing as the Bills do better as underdogs.) There are reasons for both those games and my take is the players were mentally spent with Hamlin almost dying on the field right in front of them. With the Steelers, Buffalo Beat them 38-3 last season in Buffalo... which was an embarrassment and I'd say they game-planned a bit for revenge. Anyway, the Buffalo offense was as good as, if not better than when Daboll was calling plays and KD was a rookie play caller. The offense got a whole lot better with the addition of rookie TE Dalton Kincade as Buffalo ran with 2 TEs very little last year and this year it looks to be their mainstay. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1624948-breaking-down-why-the-two-tight-end-offense-is-the-best-in-the-nfl The guy they brought in last season to be the slot WR was injured right away and lil dirty turned out to be no so good... a big failure in that spot. The WR room improved a bunch and with a healthy Davis, it should be so much better. The Buffalo offensive line improved a whole lot over last season and RB James Cook is that breakaway back the Bills have been looking for. The Buffalo defense isn't currently crippled in the secondary like it was at the end of last season. The defense should be improved this season. Will will see which way it goes against the Jets on MNF vs. the Buffalo Bills who have been replaced by some as the SB favorites. I'm highly optimistic about this season. -
Brandon Beane admitting fault & not learning from his mistakes.
Nihilarian replied to Rebel101's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree. The GM is really only as good as the scouts that are giving him info on players. Plus, I'll bet that McD has some input into those defensive picks. *cough cough* Boogie. Seriously, some picks simply don't work out and fans just need to let it go. So he couldn't find a WR in the draft and traded for Diggs, couldn't find that premier pass rusher, and signed Von Miller. This stuff tells me his scouts aren't all that great. Buffalo is a great team and it's mostly because of Beane. -
Hey, they were gonna cut him as they were overloaded. At least they got something for him.

Josh Allen is the best weapon in the NFL and he’s not protected.
Nihilarian replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sadly, this might be the year the Bills do take a step backward. The offensive line is a concern...all those penalties in the first half...meaning that the first string was being dominated. The defense looked old and slow and if they can't stop the run or pass in the middle... I can recall the year the NY Giants won the SB. That they went up to Seattle and were manhandled as their QB was sacked 7x and had 4 turnovers in a loss. Stuff happens. The Steelers were looking at a well-known playoff team coming into their stadium and normally teams don't prepare much for opponents in the pre-season. They might have been extra hyped up playing Buffalo in knowing that their starters will play. OTOH, didn't the Bills beat Pittsburgh in Buffalo last season 38-3? We will see. -
I stand corrected! Dunno why I first thought it was Klecko. Can't refute an actual video. Ole Ben did get it wrong stating it was #99. If he is in, why not Gastineau? NY sack exchange. Anyway, still don't believe a guy like him is now in the HoF when Bills fans have an innovative player who literally changed the game and is not in the hall. The Man was also MVP of the pro bowl and still gets overlooked.
-
Oops, well just looked it up and we were both wrong as it was #99, Mark Gastineau. Who remembers Ben Dreith's "Giving him the business" call (narkive.com)
-
I don't get how this player made it into the HoF over Steve Tasker. Although a 4-time Pro Bowl, 2 of those seasons were all pro, and an 11-year career. 78 sacks If I recall correctly the only notable thing I remember about the guy was ref Ben Dreith throwing a flag for a personal foul on Klecko for "giving him the business down there" after he tackled Kelly. The Jets lost a lot of games to the Buffalo Bills during his time in the NFL and I get why he wanted to take it out on a QB that was always beating up his team.

Crazy good stuff!

Josh Allen goes #1 overall to the Browns in a 2018 Redraft
Nihilarian replied to StHustle's topic in The Stadium Wall
I also think that Allen would have made any team competitive as the kid has a work ethic like no other. I would have cried hard had the Browns drafted him... and someone would have had to coax me off the ledge had the stinky Jets grabbed him. -
Josh Allen goes #1 overall to the Browns in a 2018 Redraft
Nihilarian replied to StHustle's topic in The Stadium Wall
Dunno if anyone else recalls but there was talk of the Browns drafting Allen with that #1 just before the draft. At some point, someone *cough-cough* released some offensive tweets by Josh Allen hours before the draft..and he fell to the #7 spot! Those tweets were before he enrolled at Wyoming, so he was very young. Thank the good lord that the Browns are the Browns and the Jets are the Jets...Mayfield, Darnold. Where are they now? BTW, good thing Beane traded up to #7 because Arizona was working to draft Allen too. -
He wasn't wrong! Hacker took a pro-bowl-SB QB and made him look like a bum. Hope he does the same thing for Aaron Rodgers...although he said Rodgers will call his own plays. Hacker didn't call plays in GB... he is just a nice guy and what happens to those? Clearly brought in to lure Rodgers to the NY Jests. EDIT: Oh, BTW, let's not forget that the man who hired him in the first place to be an NFL OC ended up firing him in Jacksonville. Saint Doug canned him. He stunk it up in developing Blake Bortles. They made the playoffs one year because of a stout run game and #2 overall defense.

Awesome stuff, great to hear!

Just think, it could have been that kid with the Chargers. The Miami owner is also a fault. Anyway, this AFC East is going to be a much much tougher division to win. The Jets are now loaded and if they sign Dalvin Cook along with RB Breece Hall, good lord. The Dolphins are better as they hired a new DC. This new guy might not run that same lame defensive scheme with the wrong players. Miami has some scary speed. The Patriots now have their old OC, you know the one that was a HC and who isn't a DC. This guy knows how to run an NFL offense. Buffalo has their work cut out for them and in particular should these teams decide that since their QBs are not "elite", they should run the ball more, a lot more. The Buffalo defense is more built for stopping the pass. They have shown a weakness in stopping the run and if you look back to that Cincy playoff game...my take is teams will look at that game and attempt to copy what Cincinnati did to beat the Bills on both offense and defense. Here is hoping that the Bills keep stomping their AFC rivals!
-
This kinda scares me as my take it was mostly Kim who wanted to buy the Buffalo Bills. I also think she was the one who helped forge the FO and Coaching staff. Regardless, we all see what Terry has done with the Sabres so far...So yea, hands off pls.

Hopkins released by Arizona (7/16: signed by Titans)
Nihilarian replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
No question in my view. Jim Kelly and Co have 4 AFC Championship rings...alas no SB ring. It's what some NFL players all play for...I'd bet Josh Allen would play for free -

When you look at the KC Chiefs vs Buffalo they have a super top OC / HC that is at a genius level. Their offensive line didn't allow a single sack against that Eagle defense. Does anyone else recall what they did to the Buffalo O line when they last met? That Eagle defense was way better this season. I don't see the KC WR corps as better than the Buffalo Bills at all. It's that damned TE Travis Kelce that makes that offense so potent. So, QB vs QB..even OC vs OC Chiefs by 1000 miles. Chiefs O line vs O line, perhaps the Bill caught up a bit this offseason...maybe. Chiefs WR Corps vs WR corps... Buffalo can ya DIGGS it! Bills TE vs TE...Chiefs...for now. Dalton Kincade? Chiefs. Still, Buffalo has beaten the Chiefs in the past two regular seasons during the season. We will very soon see what the Buffalo offense will look like in 2023. -

Sometimes things happen for a reason... This reminds me of Antonio Brown or JJ Watt. He chose money over a real shot at a ring. We will see. -

Good points! Not only all that.,..this franchise hasn't had a QB like Josh Allen in forever. I suspect this season's offense will be even better than past offenses. -

Blockbuster Bills Trade Proposal Ships Aging All-Pro WR to Buffalo Story by Nathan Dougherty • 3h ago MSN story, no link -

Nihilarian replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
Cooper Kupp Suggested As Major Bills’ Trade Target (msn.com) As much as I like Stephon Diggs in what he has done as a Buffalo Bill. I can't get over the fact that he has a tantrum on the sidelines yelling at his QB during a big game. The guy had more targets than any other receiver (10 catches, 4 receptions for 35 yards) which is pretty pathetic. Allen was under heavy pressure all game and the only receiver who looked to do anything with the ball was Dawson Knox (7 targets, 5 receptions for 65 yards) Nobody played well that game. Yea, I get that the guy is competitive and wants to win...as does every player on that team! No need for all this high drama at all. I also get that Diggs is a special receiver. But then, the league has a bunch of players as good who don't let their emotions get the better of them. The Rams might want to unload Cooper Kupp, as others have mentioned Mike Evans, D Hop. I'm still hoping that D-Hop gives in to his desire to win an SB and signs with Buffalo. Anyway, these other young, new players deserve a chance to show what they can do with a QB like Josh Allen throwing to them. I have faith that the Buffalo offense will be fine with the passing offense this season. -

D-Hop wants what OBJ got in 15 mill per. Doubt that will happen with Buffalo...as much as I'd like to see it. This thing with Diggs still kinda bugs me as he saw the most passes against the Bengals and didn't do all that much with them. Then went off on JA. The guy isn't smart enough to get that Allen is doing his best. Mike Evans, Cooper Kupp...find a way -
HC for 6 seasons and 5 of those 6 in the playoffs with the last 3 as AFC East division winners. Arguably the best HC, GM tandem in the history of the Buffalo Bills After that Bengals playoff loss, so many Buffalo fans posting here are like little children that want their Maypo NOW...NOW, GDI NOW! Look at the very best head coach in the league right now is Kansas City Chiefs Andy Reid. For 14 years he was the Eagles HC and only went to the SB once and didn't win it in all that time. He did get the Eagles there in his sixth season. Reid has been the HC of the Chiefs for 10 years and he has yet to have a losing season. His team has been in the SB 3 of the last 4 years and won 2 of them. Amazing! This is the team that Buffalo must contend with to get to a super bowl. The Bills have beaten the Chiefs 2x now in the regular season so they have proven that they have what it takes. Just a matter of time. Good deal that Beane and McDermott were shown by the owners that they are not going anywhere! Makes me happy!

The Bills fans bleating became almost biblical after that Cincy loss... Fire EVERYONE! Fire Beane, Fire McD, Fire Frazier, Fire Dorsey! Buffalo fans believed all the pre-season hype about the Bills winning the SB. Guess what! Cincinnati and 14 other AFC teams didn't make it either. It was a truly crap way to end the season with a loss at home in the snow...alas, everything just caught up with the team on the wrong day. Get over it... and start thinking about the 2023 season. Lots of good changes and hope the injury bug hits other teams like it has in previous seasons. Do you happen to drive a BMW?
