I would say 26 or Kirby who I always enjoy his perspective. As for best profile picture I mean whose beating my owl?

They basically gambled they could retool, win , AND draft a franchise QB all at once. So far they have won, they've retooled and had decent returns on guy like Poyer Hyde White so far; the key is the franchise QB. Even though I am not an Allen fan, even if he is the one of four they get I think they pulled it off. I wouldn't blame them much for O-Line issues either they couldn't predict Wood or Incognito but I do agree it is another dam whole we have to attack now.

Fundamentally disagree. This group identified this as a QB class that has great upside and was worth building draft capital with the ability to grab one of them. Had the regime that drafted EJ had been as aggressive during the 2011 or 2012 draft years they may have had a better shot at a top QB. Instead they literally drafted a QB who was a 2nd-3rd caliber QB. I watch enough college football and remember the 2013 draft as a whole not being anything special to pull the trigger on and the talent wasn't close to this draft. This year in general has the potential to be one of the better QB draft classes in a long time. The only similar mistake would've been keeping a flawed QB which we had seen his ceiling so we were forced to pull the trigger 2 years too late. Your not mistaken that they could guess wrong and this may implode but you have to take your shots with the best odds you can and they have set themselves for a decent shot.

Rob Johnson is still bitter after 20 years
corta765 replied to Sky Diver's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Without commenting too much on the QB's themselves I always thought the Bills were stuck between a rock and a hard place. I think they wanted to commit to RJ completely as soon as possible to see what they had. BUT he goes down with injury, Flutie comes in and starts winning and not just winning but crazy exciting games that energize the area plus mix in his story and how do you take him out if your the Bills. Additionally from my understanding (I was 10 during this) Flutie really helped re-energize the region for them team and save the team in terms of renovations to the stadium. There was no way he wasn't starting in 1999. The rest from there seemed poetically cruel in an unjust way with Flutie leading the team to 10-5 only to see Johnson have a career day and have the team winning in the playoffs when he leaves the field. Truthfully if they really wanted to see what they had in Johnson they probably should've traded or cut Flutie after 98 but no way that would've ever happened. -
I would be very happy with this and nice job as a whole Bandit with this preview very high quality
-
Lately the night games haven't been too bad. BUT the fact its NE, mid season so the hate will be amped up given both teams records, and its right by Halloween does not inspire confidence. That said I can't wait to go it'll be a blast!

Your forgetting @Miami the NFL has scheduled teams to open and close with same opponent
-
Ive sat 100 level as high as row 34 and low as 1. 34 to row 10 has great sight lines after that you can still see in front just not as far but your also closer to players.

YESSS LETS BURN THE F-N STADIUM DOWN!

3. Two Home One Away. MNF home against JAX TNF home against MIA SNF away at IND/NE/GB Rational: I know its weird to think of Buffalo getting two home games but I think they are due a MNF game and they have an easy story like JAX or interesting big market team like CHI to host. The Bills have only hosted two TNF games since the NFL started making teams have to play on TNF and it is a competitive disadvantage to routinely be the road team something even the Bills have voiced concern over. I think they get the TNF game back at home for once. As for SNF every playoff team from 2016 played in at least one in 2017. IND has an easy story line with Frank Reich whereas the other two are big market draws.

Yay! We're not the worst! (According to Agents)
corta765 replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not surprised with Elway. Recent cuts to veteran players I don't thing have reflected well. -
Thought the same thing the NFL loves the MNF double header

If the Bills TRADE UP for Josh Allen...
corta765 replied to JaCrispy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Dissapointed the last two QBs Buffalo went for in the 1st round (JP, EJ) were both physically gifted as heck like Allen but failed greatly with accuracy and precision passing. I really want Rosen/Mayfield because they excelled with that not a guy who only completed 56% of passes. That said my negative vibes would probably thaw out by training camp. -
Project QB's who DID reach potential
corta765 replied to Zerovoltz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Carson Palmer wasn't a project but he did sit a full season which did wonders IMO for him. Good question and topic. -
What does Shady need to get on the Bills WOF?
corta765 replied to dollars 2 donuts's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If Shady has two more 1000 yd years and is here for 3 years mixed with another playoff berth then Shady goes on the WOF. People I think understate how freakin good and important Shady was last year to killing the drought and had we beat JAX his performance while injured would've been legendary. Otherwise neither should be on. -

corta765 replied to dollars 2 donuts's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But if you compare Fred to the rest of the players on the WOF his career fails in comparison even with the community aspect. I think he is romanticized because he represented the fans during the drought which is great, but the WOF is for playing excellence IMO not being a great guy. -

corta765 replied to dollars 2 donuts's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agreed. A lot of people want Fred Jackson but truthfully he isn't even in the Top 5 RB's the team has had at this point. I get he is loved community wise but doesn't his name up their discredit the accomplishments of guys like Thurman, Cookie, and yes OJ (football field accomplishments)? If Shady stays another 3 years and stays around his current pace shouldn't he be up there before Fred? In general I know the drought provided very few high points and we like to romanticize the 90s teams to an unhealthy point because of it, but I would like to see a little higher standard for excellence. The only two players I really think from the last two decades that even deserve a chance to be up would by Kyle Williams and Eric Wood because they played at a pro bowl caliber level and both are in the talks to be top 3-4 ever for their position team wise. Additionally on good teams like the 1990s Bills those guys would've received far more media attention for their excellence. BUT if you said neither I wouldn't have an issue with the standard being higher either. -

corta765 replied to dollars 2 donuts's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think he needs probably 2 more seasons of solid production and 3 here total plus another playoff berth to make it. He is a sublime talent and great player/leader just need more to get up there. -
Agreed although with both teams selecting two of the big four QBs I could see the Jets staying... again

We started doing a party in 2015 at my brother in laws with just my wife and I. It was funny because the girls were like when do we draft in the 1st round about half way through and we both looked at the same time and said "we don't we traded it last year for Sammy". Their faces were priceless. Anyway same place but more excitement and if we get Rosen/Darnold I am probably not remembering the rest of the night due to adult beverages. Oh pizza and wings is a must with bison dip and chips.

Some of you like 1pm I prefer 4 pm and a few night games. Also the more games not at 1pm means your team is probably better and winning.

I understand and its def a leap for SNF. I have heard rumors of MNF hosting Chicago which would be fun I just think Jags Bills early on would have a ton of storylines from each side..
