Would you rather lose next 6 or win next 6?
dgrochester55 replied to Bakin's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Win 6, easy choice for me. High picks do not guarantee success in the NFL. The only exception where tanking for a pick is arguably jusitifed is when a crop of franchise QB's are out. 2019 is a not QB heavy year for the draft and Allen was drafted last year. I would rather see them go into next season with some momentum and hope that they can continue to find players with the Caliber of Tradaveous White in the later first round while getting some steals like Milano in late rounds. -
The Quarterback Position Going Forward
dgrochester55 replied to TigerJ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would keep Allen, Barkley and Anderson on the roster. Barkley has earned at least a chance to prove himself as the Bills backup after today. It would be easy to say cut Anderson based on the two games that he played this year, but I think that it would be smart to keep him too. My reasoning is that he does have good previous experience as a veteran backup and would be good for a mentoring/coaching role to Allen. He would also provide Buffalo with an option who is already on the team if Allen or Barkley are injured later in the season. No more Peterman and no more of this street free agent stuff anymore please. -
(hypothetical) Alabama vs. Bills spread
dgrochester55 replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Any NFL team will always beat any college team. The speed and caliber of training is worlds apart. Even on the best all time college team, more than half of the roster will not end up getting as much as an NFL tryout. A 28 point spread? Now that is more interesting, but I still think that Buffalo would score enough to cover that spread. Peterman may be the worst NFL qb of all time, but when I watched him in college, he was able to put a lot of points on the board in many games. Even Peterman would get a lot of points on Alabama. -
With Allen starting- Buffalo 19 Jets 14 With Anderson starting-Jets 20 Buffalo 11 With Peterman starting-Jets 31 Buffalo 5

Any positive take away at all?
dgrochester55 replied to The Process's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This game was a train wreck, but Yes there is, the defense is pretty good. You really couldn't have asked for more on them in the New England and Chicago games, especially in today's offense oriented NFL. If they can maintain that, maybe we can add actual talent on offense next year and be competitive again sooner rather than later. -
Zero points at half...AGAIN!!!

Really? Who said that, and what did they drink this afternoon? Cause I could use some. -
Someone should be fired. Simple
dgrochester55 replied to DKBills25's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This staff is not going to get fired because they made the playoffs last year and their franchise quarterback is out. There does need to be some accountability on the offensive side and the offseason game planning though. Daboll needs to go. This new offense in today's NFL is like driving a model T in an eight lane highway in a major city. Even if it is in peak condition with all of the right parts in place, it is not going to keep up and end up being a liability if you want to go anywhere. -
4 NFL teams with female coaches
dgrochester55 replied to Kevin1778's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Turns out that all four of the coaches on the teams mentioned have college degrees. Dang book learnins are fillin their head with crazy ideas and getting in the way of good old fashioned coaching. -
If I had to, I would take Anderson over Peterman but I would rather see a wildcat with a combination of Pryor and Thomas throwing. Any other year, that would sound like a terrible idea that would only have a place in someone's madden game. This year, you are talking about an offense that has scored 0 touchdowns in the past two games against two defenses that aren't anywhere near the best in the league. There is virtually nothing to lose by doing this until Allen comes back and it would at least be a little more entertaining.

Terrelle Pryor in Buffalo! Update: He's signing!
dgrochester55 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe they had limited options with no mobile QB and New England would have caught on. Adding Pryor to a wildcat would add a more mobile person who does have qb experience. Not a long term solution, but maybe gets the team by for a game or two until Allen returns. It is sad that it would come down to actually thinking that this is a good idea, but in my opinion it would have to at least be a little better than Anderson or Peterman. Those two have thrown more touchdowns to the defense than they have to the offense over the course of a year. -
Terrelle Pryor in Buffalo! Update: He's signing!
dgrochester55 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I like the signing. He's not a franchise WR by any means, but is easily the best receiver on this team. If Peterman is that bad this week, maybe Buffalo should just run some wildcat type offense with Pryor and McCoy. Anything is better than the offense that Buffalo has had this year minus the Vikings game. -
IF THE BILLS WERE TO EVER LEAVE BUFFALO
dgrochester55 replied to Irv's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am already fading on the NFL, "it has gone from Sunday is football day and i something interrupts it, it had better be an emergency" to "Lets see what is happening in the Bills game, oh no 14-0, its a nice fall day, lets go outside". If the Bills ever left, I am certain that i would stick to college football, and as far as NFL only watch the playoffs and super bowl as part of a get together where the primary goal was catching up with everyone, but the game was in the background, -
Pegulas mentioned by name in Eric Reid story
dgrochester55 replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So does this mean that we are NOT going to add Eric Reid as a free agent next year? -
March 2013 version of me would be excited about Matt Barkley in Buffalo. October 2018 version.....not so much.
-
The defense is good. Good to the point where even if the offense was mediocre, this team would be competitive. Unfortunately, the offense is historically bad. This team might find a way to eek out another win or two, but it is going to be a long year. The best hope is that when Allen comes back, he can develop into a better QB and get a little more out of the offense in some of the later games.

In all fairness, Tom Brady was once benched for Drew Henson in college. Doesn't mean that I agree with the OP, but you never know. Kidding aside, until this year Dungey was better than any Syracuse QB since McNabb including Nassib. He always reminded me of a poor man's Tim Tebow. I think Dungey gets a shot somewhere as a late round pick or UDFA. If not as a QB, then converted to another position. He is a great athlete, but a little inconsistent at QB.

Who to start against NE?

Caption This: Derek Anderson
dgrochester55 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
"Join a team that made the playoffs last year" they said. "Don't worry, you're just mentoring the rookie" they said......This is completely different from what I was told in the job interview, I am leaving a scathing review on indeed.com as soon as I get home -
I was very wrong about Tyrod & have to own it.
dgrochester55 replied to twoandfourteen's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Tyrod was a mediocre quarterback, but mediocre is better than bad or off the charts terrible. Yes, Allen was drafted, but you always need a good backup option with a rookie. Buffalo could have kept Taylor but decided to trade him out of nowhere. They at least signed McCarron which would have been a credible replacement, but traded him. They instead went into the season with a rookie who everyone universally agreed needed to be brought in slowly and a second year 5th round draft picks who's primary experience was the 5 INT debacle. They are lucky to even be 2-5 and I would be surprised to see more than 4 wins. Taylor and McCarron aren't world beaters, but I am certain with them that Buffalo wins at least the Houston game and maybe today's too. Beane and McDermott had a very successful year one, but made some God awful off season decisions. I would like to see at least this year and next year before a regime change is done, but something has to be done to change how decisions are made when acquiring players and choosing who to keep. -
Who to start against NE?
dgrochester55 replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Terrible choice, but Anderson. At least he has had some degree of success in the past and has a chance to improve a little. Anderson also has the excuse of not playing for two years and only being on the team for two weeks. Peterman may honestly be one of the worst starting qb's of all time. -
Allen is week to week, not severely injured, lets get that out of the way. The only way that drafting a QB makes sense in the next draft is if a decently rated qb falls to the 4th or 5th round and they are drafted to be groomed as a backup/failsafe option. Buffalo invested too much in Allen and people are giving up way too soon. For better or worse, Buffalo isn't drafting another QB high for at least two more years.
