Mitch Morse in concussion protocol
oldmanfan replied to *******'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Long was hurt last year though. Hard to play C effectively with a bad hand. -
Mitch Morse in concussion protocol
oldmanfan replied to *******'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
All one can do is hope he’s OK and that they can help him avoid future ones with equipment or something. The fact that he’s out on the field doing things suggests he’s fairly well along in the protocol. -

He is supposed to be the linchpin for the line so any time he loses is a bad thing. -

1-15 I’d be worried. 8-8of course not. -

For God sakes. First season = playoffs. Second season breaking in a rookie QB among other things. You’re being absolutely ridiculous. -

Extended Wood who got a career ending injury. Yep, he wasn’t Nostradamus. And you also would have continued to pay the big fat tub of goo named Dareus his 100 million dollars. -

I think you can make that statement about every team. -

Then don’t throw sexist comments out on a whim. -

It has to do with the fact that people are judged on their performance and not their looks. Maybe you should get into your WayBack machine and travel back a few decades. -

It has nothing to do with her job. That’s why you look like a moron. -

The Mahomes comment is typical Monday morning QBing. Not one team in the league thought Mahomes would be the guy he was last year. Not a single one. Because if teams thought he would be there would have been moves by multiple teams to trade up to #1. Coming out there were concerns about his footwork and him playing in an offense that did not produce NFL caliber QBs. Creating cap issues? The cap issues were big contracts on guys not earning the $$, Dareus being the prime one. They solved the cap issue, they didn’t create it. Do all teams have plans? Yes. Do all teams have plans become enormously successful in two years? No. -
Newly signed offensive lineman guard Isaac Asiata retires

Stay well my friend. As for the young man, good for him. He realized he may not have the ability to be an NFL player and will move in with his life. Best of luck to him. -

The Pegula’s hired these guys to carry out their plan. They have a plan, and it should be readily apparent by now to all but the willfully blind what that is. They want talented guys that love to play football, who prioritize football, who constantly look to improve. When they got here, they figured out who they saw as fitting their plan and those who didn’t. They cleared out guys who didn’t fit like Dareus and Sammy, cleared out guys they didn’t think could get them where they wanted like TT, some guys left as FAs like Gilmore and Woods. They knew they had some bloated contracts and ripped the bandaid off quickly vs. slowly as far as the cap. Now they have an admirable cap situation. They want to focus on the draft to build their team. They have two young guys they think are their long term leaders on both sides of the ball in Allen and Edmunds. Yes, they could have taken Watson (the guy I wanted) or Mahomes (whom no one saw having the kind of year he had last year). But they now have their guy, and an AllPro CB (what ever happened to all the clamor about having to have a shut down CB?). They continue to add talent. Obviously their future is locked into their personnel decisions. But the constant whining about it, and how they should be gone so soon if they don’t have a winner right now is just so damn tiresome. First of all, they made the playoffs year one, and spare me the crap about how that was lucky. Second, they knew they were taking a big cap hit year 2. Third, look at the most continually successful NFL organizations. They have agreement between HC and GM on philosophy (unless it’s Belichick who has total control). They have sustained growth. They can focus on drafting the guys that fit what they want, same with FAs. The Pats, Steelers, Seahawks, all have those kinds of models and they work. Do you have to make changes sometimes? Sure. I live outside Indy and the Colts knew they had to, but in Frank and Ballard they have the same type guys as McD and Beane. The Rams? They look good right now, but they have given up a lot of draft picks, and will have to make difficult contract decisions. They have a shot right now, but is that model sustainable? Doubtful; the Bills have a more long term sustained strategy. i get some don’t like their strategy. But let’s just see how it plays out instead of assuming it won’t. Why some assume it won’t is mystifying. -

It has not failed if they go 8-8. Stop with the hysteria. -

They go say 8-8 this year the fans are not going to abandon the team. And changing coaches and GMs ever 2-3 years is not a ormula for success. You need a reality check -

Their fan base not tolerating it, as a reason for them to do something different? Laughable. -
Bills & AFL Great Keith Lincoln dies

Great player and I will always remember being in the Rockpile as a kid for the Hit Heard Round the World. And yeah, probably too soon. Sympathies to his family. -
Bills 2017 Draft - It Might Be Really Good
oldmanfan replied to BillsfaninSB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You ask about other teams like the Browns and Chargers and how good their drafts were. Apparently they stunk because neither of them drafted Mahomes or Watson, and it seems that is the only criteria you use to judge that draft year. -
Bills 2017 Draft - It Might Be Really Good
oldmanfan replied to BillsfaninSB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Peterman didn’t work out. They got a an elite CB, really good OLB, starting LT, and starting WR. Or do we now only grade drafts on 5th round QBs? -

oldmanfan replied to BillsfaninSB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Peterman was a bad call and Beane admitted they should have brought in a vet when McCarron didn’t work out. Peterman has nothing to do with any point you’re trying to make. -
