    Von Miller’s path to Bills in first foray into free agency: ‘Buffalo just chose me’

    I can't tell you how many times someone at work has given me their notice and when I talk them into staying, they still end up leaving in less than a month.

     

    Why?

     

    Because the reason they gave their notice in the first place was because they didn't really want to be there.

     

    This article concerns the hell out of me.  My biggest takeaway is that Beane and Co., had to talk Miller into signing.  He clearly admits that Buffalo was not his first choice and that he was having serious second thoughts.

     

    I hope this ends well.

     

    I've experienced this as well and you're right, it usually does not end up well.  But I have experienced where it works out really well...  hoping that's what happens here

     

    What I think as fans, we should appreciate is that  Von Miller is just a little bit of a different cat and is giving us way more insight compared to most big name players would provide in the decision making process in free agency.  It would be actually interesting to know if Von's experience isn't much different then many other big name free agents.. but like most athletes today, they are programmed to say what people want to hear vs. the truth.

     

    Many of you may have read this article from back in 2016.. but we are not dealing with your average 'dude' here....

    A different kind of player. Once Klein found his niche in this defense his play improved dramatically and he made some big plays.  At a reduced salary, he'd be worth a roster spot.

    It's a great point.  I just remember have butterflies before the first MNF game against the Pats last year because of the weather... and then Klein is a last minute scratch because of COVID, and those butterflies changed to a pit in the bottom of my stomach.   We really did miss him that game.

    QB Coach Joe Brady; what’s his role with Josh?

    You could also argue that Daboll got lucky to have Josh as prior to coming here he was a less than spectacular OC in the NFL. Personally I don't mind Judge as hate when OC and QB coaches are one in the same. As think it's good that both positions are separate as gives a QB another person in the room. I'm really interested though more in the role that Mike Shula plays. 

    This. 

     

    Dabs had limited to no success other then coaching for the Pats (Brady) and Alabama (33rd NFL Team).  Loved Dabs.. but to underestimate what impact JA17 had on Dab's success is like denying Belichik's success because of Tom Brady.   Truth of the matter, both make each other greater.. and that JA17 campaigned for Dorsey, and, now it's 'spiced' up with Joe Brady.. who has had exposure to Joe Brr...  I tend to believe that this offense is going to a next level of efficiency.

    Yep. We've all heard the Cam comparisons for years. Cam was so good he earned the nickname: Superman

    Then injuries caught up to him.

    I think what happened to Cam should serve as a warning to us. Doesnt matter how super your QB is, u need to protect your franchise qb period.

    Either with improving the guys around him or by making sure Allen protects himself out there.

    I think we've definitely seen attention paid to both of those

     

    I agree that JA's running style is not sustainable especially if he wants to have a 10+ year career. 

    With that said, the Cam comparison to JA17 ended for me last year. 

    JA's passing game is miles ahead of where Cam was after year 4.. and I would even say JA's passing game is ahead of where Cam was at in his MVP year. (Year 5)

    The part that gets me giddy (like others) is that a lot of us believe that JA hasn't reached his ceiling.  Compare that back to 2018 and we got asked if we would be overjoyed with a 4000 yard passer, 30 TD's per year guy.. we would have all said 'WE GOOD!'... but we are now looking at JA17... and we want more.   


    More importantly JA17 is saying he WANTS MORE!

    Bills sign Jamison Crowder

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I apologize if this has already been said.. but when you compare Beasley's numbers before joining the Bills and Crowder's numbers before signing with the Bills... it's kinda scary how alike they are.. .To the point, both of their best seasons (yardage wise) before going to the BIlls was 833 yards.  Another solid pickup by BBB. The season could not start soon enough for me

    No offense.. but should we believe anything BBB says during this time of year.  Remember what BBB said after the KC loss...   

     

    “We’ll still have to make some moves but I wouldn’t see us being like big spenders or anything like that. But we’ll definitely look to fill some spots from the outside as well as retain some of our guys”

    Bills vs. Chiefs Divisional Round: Full Match Re-play

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    It's funny.. I usually do not have the testicular fortitude to watch Bills games after they lose. It usually takes weeks if not months... (I watched the low lights from the Jags game for the first time last week)

     

    But with the KC Game I actually re-watched highlights 24 hours after that game..  and re-watched the game on NFL network when the re-aired it either on the Wednesday or Thursday evening after.

     

    Maybe after the drought my ambitions were set a little lower.. but I think I had the stomach to re-watch this game because of two reasons

     

    1) I had watched too many playoff games during the drought where I saw Manning vs. Brady, Brady vs Roethlisberger, Rogers vs. Romo,  etc... where they put on 'shows' in the playoffs, and I was reminded really how far those Bills teams were being relevant, let alone a contender.   To see the (my) Bills be in one of those games, and be a 'cutting edge' offense, with a real superhero (not only franchise) at QB, reminded me that truly that the best things are still to come for this team. 

     

    2) Josh Allen is the real deal...  Not only is he ready for the spotlight... He is the spotlight.

    And not just in Buffalo.. but in the NFL.... 

    I felt that way right after the game.. and then all the stuff that has subtly or not so subtly happen after the game.   From the National outrage about the OT rules, to that little piece in the NFL awards, to hammerheads, like Bill Simmons saying the Bills were the best team in 2021, it just reminds me how this (Crappy, horrible ending of a) game, will be a stepping stone to multiple great playoff games, to multiple advertised 'games of the century' and god willing, multiple championships.  ..   And that's first and foremost because JA17 is our QB1

    13 Seconds - A Weekly Column for the Tortured Souls of Sports

    So I got inspired by a post on here the morning after the Chiefs loss and just started writing. I'm not even a writer, aside from some sh**t screenplays I'll never be able to afford to make. It felt good getting all those feeling onto the page and since I'm on year 2 of working from home and am completely bored outta my mind with my current job (film editor), I figured I'd give this a go.

     

    https://www.13seconds.co/columns/believe

    So the first of what will be a weekly column is up - I Believe. We'll hit on everything from film/tv to life bulls**t to lots of Bills coverage. Kind of like a Bill Simmons thing, maybe? As well as selling vintage sports goods and original goods to come. So give it a read sometime! Or destroy me here. Or follow on Instagram (13_secs) and Twitter (@13secs). The website is a work in progress, but I wanted to get the first article up ASAP. Thanks for your time. Go Bills!

    Amazing article that I believe a lot of us long time Bills fans can relate too...

     

    I particularly relate to being vanquished to the basement to watch 'My Bills' as my wife isn't huge fan as well (Flame away!).. the need for therapy (most likely.. but not just yet..), and the 2 minute refresh in the unusually warm spring of 2012 when the Bills were wooing Mario Williams... (Can't believe it will be a decade when the phrase 'Ground up in the freezer' became a regular go to phrase on this message board)

     

    Not to get too hokey but it's amazing articles like yours that remind me why "I believe"...


    Well Done Sir

    Joe Brady for QB Coach? [Now Hired]

    Given Joe Brady's connection with Burrow, I wonder if Josh already may know Brady through their mutual connection with Jordan Palmer.

    Well you maybe onto something .. As some of you may remember...  JA17 already took a bit of a shot at Joe Brr....  (Wait till the end)

    Win every game.  

     

    The loss at Jacksonville cost the team home field advantage.  This was a matter of overlooking the opposition.  After all the bizarre upsets this year (ours being the worst), the team must learn to be 100% focused on every single game, and not to have any letdowns. 

     

    That's what they can take away from this past season.  

    I would like to be more specific and say that not only this applies to the players (where there was commentary from other teams that the Bills weren't playing 'inspired' enough) but it extends to the coaches and game planning.  I felt like there were games where we lost (especially the Jags game) that we were 'holding back' some of our play calling because we didn't want to show much on film.  It feels like our Offense really wasn't allowed to really open things up until that second half of the Bucs game... when at that point.. they really didn't have much of a choice.  Unsure if this was a Daboll thing.. or all the way too McBeane....  but I think the playcalling on both sides of the field needs to be more aggressive regardless of opponent.. regardless of what it may show on film.

     

     

    A Few Thoughts about the Jets Game, in no particular order

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Great write up as usual.  And if it means anything, over the last 3 games, I  had similar thoughts about how this Bills team reminds me of the 2006/2007 Colts team that won not necessarily on Manning's arm (Ok maybe the AFC championship game again the Pats).. but did it with a Solid D, Addai and Dominic Rhodes rushing attack.  It's kinda funny (and maybe not a coincidence) because the National media was talking about how the Bills weakness was their overdependence on JA17.  Anyhow...  Love that comparison to the 2006 Colts.

     

    & 

     

    As usual.. Love the Pearl Jam.
