Who Would You Want To Play On MNF in 2019?
corta765 replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Did you read the post at all where it specifically says with no regard to it actually happening just who you would want to see? I am clearly aware that if the team gets a TNF game that would be amazing at this point for next season. -
The Bills show on WGR today had Peter King on who talked about how amazing Buffalo is for night games and that there should be a game every year in Buffalo. So if we were to have a night game in 2019 who would you want to see. (mind you this is not a poll on whether we should have a game, why the team sucks and doesn't deserve a game etc...) For my money I would love to see the Bills host Philadelphia I think that would be pretty electric. I truthfully think if we get a MNF game again it would be against Baltimore or the Jets with a resurgent Darnold led offense vs Allen and a Bills resurgent led offense.

Better then being known for snow like always lol

Agreed ,this year with Allen is all trial and error and any experience is good. Next year though he has to show true progress with hopefully improved weapons/line and the offense needs to be more in the middle.

Tank losers, that record is part of history.

How and Why The Bills Could Win Monday Night
corta765 replied to Kevin1778's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You mean like last year when they lost to the Phins on MNF after putting up 41 33 35 and 23? Not saying at all its happening my money is full NE but the past games have zero impact on present outcome nor do they guarantee what should happen. -
The 5 year (realistic) plan for this team
corta765 replied to ShipUPride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This will not happen. Whether people want to admit or not the biggest issue the Bills have had is lack of congruity. The plan in the owners eyes is at minimum 4 years if not 5. When you turnover coaching and football operations that much it wrecks everything. It will look like this: 2017 Year 1 Analysis: McBeane sees their roster both good and bad tries building culture team lucks a bit into the playoffs 9-8 2018 Year 2 Teardown: Full blown tear down while finishing the defense for what it needs to try and be somewhat competitive in games. Goal is to reset everything from cap to draft picks while adding a QB you hope to be franchise. 4-12 maybe 5-11 because they have a habit at home of winning games they shouldn't 2019 Year 3 New Base Sets: Next year they should add a lot to the offense and Allen hopefully takes a step up to be competent where he at least isn't a problem even if he isn't the full solution yet. They need to be 8 wins minimum and be at least on the door step of the playoffs if not in 2020 Year 4 Contend: At this point Brady should be gone dead or aged and the team should be curated into the group they want. Division title and 11-5 I would expect to be their bar at that point. Anything less and McD will come under fire. The earliest I think you see any chance McD is gone is the end of 2020 if they are not in the playoffs. Even then I really think the Pegula's have backed away from massive changes routinely and have moved into more of a long term patient approach. Additionally if McD has the team right on the cusp in 2020 even if he misses I still think he is safe for two more years. He does have a playoff birth under his belt regardless of how it happens and how people want to discredit him. That will matter to the ownership. -
There is no final straw I love watching regardless of product. BUT yesterday we were all cheering for Peterman to go in after Anderson's 2nd INT to see how much worse it could get and on the 3rd INT we were all pulling for the Colts to get a TD. Yea I've hit that point of just lose for draft reasons and if they win its like a nice surprise.

I was very wrong about Tyrod & have to own it.
corta765 replied to twoandfourteen's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I give you kudos for admitting it. In the time leading up to the season I predict the Bills 6-10 and said they'd miss Taylor just because he was at least safe with the ball. People ridiculed and ripped it thinking it couldn't get worse. Well it can. Remember Taylor at QB they probably beat the Texans and yesterday its more like a 20-5 loss. I had no issue with the Bills wanting to be aggressive at QB and going for Allen it was frankly refreshing. I maybe would've kept Taylor for Allen to sit behind but I understood their logic. Whats annoying is people jumping off the deep end with Beane and McD. Don't get me wrong they deserve criticism and justly for the teams performance. I have said Beane failed by not being more aggressive for a WR this offseason or bringing in a more established vet at QB. McD's love affair with Peterman has hurt them twice. But the long view is the team needed a true reset. 95% of the time reset's where you move out bad money and restock hurt like hell. The defense is a good unit and set for a good number of years. The offense is going to be a work in progress and you may not see what its suppose to truly be until 2020. They should be playoff competitive next season anything less and yea bring the torches to put the pressure on. -
Predict the score: Bills at Colts
corta765 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There is legitimate pressure on IND to win after a bunch of close loses and then the Jets loss. On the other hand the Bills are a hot mess with a great D SOO: 24-10 Colts Defense keeps it close until late Luck gets a late TD to distance IND. Offense is marginally better but not much leaving a lot of opportunities out there. Anderson: 202 yds 13-21 McCoy: 95 yds 1 TD WR: Benjamin 85 yds 6 rec -
Bills in White on White vs. the Colts
corta765 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Your stories would actually be quite fun to hear in an open setting. My uncle went to games at War as a kid and his seat was half blocked by a support beam but his dad got a good deal. He said the players knew if the game got bad the fans would throw bottles at them. Pretty funny stuff. -

We finally have a great chance at the #1 overall pick
corta765 replied to LFC24's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would love to draft Top 3, but mark my words they win somewhere between 4-6 games and force us to the fringe of top 10 or just in. -
It's not so much JAX isn't viable its that London is farrrr more $. Think St. Louis vs LA when that happened. St. Louis had agreed to a brand new beautiful waterfront stadium and the NFL/Rams still said no preferring a privately funded LA stadium because the $ implications were far greater. Market loyalty is a fallacy in the NFL it is simply about the $ and maximizing it.

Bills @ Houston - White on Blue Jerseys
corta765 replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Too bad we don't wear all blue and they wear all red. I can guarantee neither team would have issue seeing whose on whose team. Serious question how old were you when you started watching? Typically people will hearken for what they grew up with and as a 90s kid myself I certainly liked the red helmets and look a ton its why my main jersey now is a Kelly 90s style one. That said I actually think their current look is the best and offers a lot of different combos to work with along with the throwback AFL unis. I know a lot of my older family who grew up with the standing Buffalo prefers that for instance. -
Do you want the Bills to make the playoffs this year?
corta765 replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Oh I hear you and someone mentioned the Bills will probably beat JAX or CHI if not both because they have a habit of doing so. My layout was just most logical/probable if they end up making a run. Bills schedule is rated 30th SOS wise. ESPN's power rankings broke down each teams SOS. -
Do you want the Bills to make the playoffs this year?
corta765 replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The point of this is not what I think will happen IE why I said at the top I see them winning 4-6 games. The point is what the most probable path is IF it actually happens. -
Do you want the Bills to make the playoffs this year?
corta765 replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Remember KC/LAC CIN/BAL all have to play each other and the schedule will balance out some W/Ls as we go. -
OK before you comment and tell me that there is no way they make the playoffs they suck etc... I got it. I think they win somewhere between 4-6 games so I am not saying they make it. BUT the path truthfully looks something like this if they want to have a real shot: Wk 6 Win at Texans Watson doesn't play Wk 7 Win at Colts Luck is held in by our D and still shaky Wk 10 Win at Jets Wk 13 Win at Miami Wk 14 Win vs Jets Wk 15 Win vs Detroit Wk 17 Win vs Miami This would give them a 9-7 record and 7-5 conference record. Given how bad the AFC is that would keep them in the hunt. If they somehow could get to 10 wins and pickup a win specifically against the Jags which would boost their conference record to 8-4 things would be solid. Realistically those are the games they have probably the best chance to take at this point no one is predicting wins against NE and CHI/JAX look pretty formidable at this point.

Week 6 predictions: Bills at Texans

Week 6 predictions: Bills at Texans
corta765 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Houston: 20 Buffalo: 14 Allen- 235 yds 15-28 1 TD McCoy- 110 yds 1 TD WR- Who cares at this point lol Bills play the Texans tight but Allen can't lead his second comeback and Bills lose on downs at the end. -
In general terms yes I think a lot of fans actually wouldn't disagree with you and are fine with: -Drafting a touted QB and were aggressive doing so something they really have failed at for years -Cleaning cap space for the future -Building through the draft which has shown some early dividends already in the last two years with guys like White, Milano, Edmunds, T Johnson, Dawkins, and Phillips. Allen is a project so no use grading him short term he is boom or bust like many rookies early -Culture and continuity which is something we lacked forever from the top down -The hiring of Dabol who with the All-22 tape has actually shown so really well thought out formations and schemes. Not his fault if the pieces/talent fail at point he is working with what he has. -A transition season where record wise we slip down to 4-7 wins because the team is changing for the long term So everything above most Bills fans really had no issue with this its sound in theory. The problem and outrage is in the following: -The lack of any form of a competitive offense because the GM prioritized the defense so heavily in FA and draft. There are a list of WR/OL who that 5 million for V. Davis would've been far more worth spending on instead -The utter refusal to bring in any QB worth a dime so Allen could've waited like they wanted and instead the forcing of Peterman who showed he wasn't ready. Teddy Bridgewater would've been a perfect one year option so Allen was not rushed, yet like WR/OL they did nothing -The lack of touches to the offenses best player McCoy as a whole -The fact they run the offense likes its 1990 football not 2018. You realize 300 yards is nothing these days yet for the Bills its still a major goal -The fact every WR move Beane has made has only made the WR corps worse. Dumped Sammy, Zay Jones is a bust with a ton of players at WR in that draft like Cooper Kupp available, Benjamin sucks, Boldin retired because he didn't want to be here, Kerley was signed and let go etc.. They looked at Allen and said best of luck and threw him to the wolves with nothing to go with. -The fact the opener the entire team looked so uninspired/unprepared and proceeded that by spotting LA 28 to open at home. -The additions of Davis and Muprhy have not panned out in any fashion so its wasted money that again could've and should've been used on the offense. -The fact that in a league so driven now by innovation and strategy our coach just said he picks culture over strategy. So yea in the general scope things are probably on path, but when you dive down more the honeymoon is over given there are some legitimate questions to ask now and some true skepticism that has developed. They did get delivered an awful schedule to start and I wouldn't be surprised if they are competitive for the rest of the games now and finish with even as many as 6 wins which would cool some pressure. But the organization has done themselves no favors about their decision making on quite a few areas and we have all seen that before and where it heads. Perhaps McBeane is different and patience is needed either way, but the smart moves that were panned in year 1 have transition to many questionable ones in year 2.

Bills in Blue on White on Sunday vs. the Titans
corta765 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yea I think with some small updates it actually could be a cool alternate from time to time.
