Status of AFC: Should Bills Go All In For 2019?
Mat68 replied to jwhit34's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
NE are one of the most aggressive franchises. AB, Corey Dillion, Talib, Revis, Moss, the list goes on and on. They will make a move or look to add talent at the expense of next years 1st or 2nd if they are high enough quality. It's all make believe. The Cap goes up every year, the draft is a crap shoot. Look at the future but win today. If you are a player or 2 away go find those 1 or 2 players now. Tomorrow may not come. -
Just continue to gel and gain experience together. The offense needs to take a practice this week and work on the scramble so everyone can get on the same page. Deep you comback, short look for space backside cross the formation than cut it deep. With Allen's arm they need a guy to catch a defense scrambled and go deep. Steelers with a young Big Ben had organized madness. Buffalos offense could get some cheap chunk plays if they have an understanding of what to do, and what's expected in those situations. Maybe avoid the interception that took place sunday.

I have 0 care what a player makes. Having "bargain" production doesn't matter when the Franchise is sitting on 100 mil in cap space. Sure signing a bunch of mid level players to blotted contracts doesnt work. Adding a player to the offense or defense during the bye week to make a push "This" year has more good than bad outcomes. At a time when Buffalo was on tilt, trading for Benjamin gave the team a jolt and legitimate mis match outside that propelled a playoff berth. Long term it didnt pan out. Short term? They made the playoffs, and were also terrible catch no catch call from beating NE in Ne after Halloween. The schedule this year is shaping up for the first 10 plus win team since the 90's. I feel Buffalo should make a move now. Maybe catch a team sleeping on them, and the projected pick wont be as good as they think? Best believe the teams Buffalo has to get past are looking to do the same thing.

Zay Jones traded to Raiders for 5th rounder
Mat68 replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It was posted yesterday or after the game, that Jones was going to be traded at the start of the year. I think it was a combination of not enough in return and Foster battling through injury. I expected Jones to have a big year. Didnt happen. Williams brought some extra juice to the team and offense. -
As much as I would like a move for Julio Jones or DeAndre Hopkins they are not available. Diggs, Gordon, Ramsey, Green, and who else? Gordon would cost the least annually and resources. It's not A typical in how teams are made but would play into the strengths of a top defense and strong arm Qb. Run the ball effectively + playaction = Big plays.
-
With the resources and money I hope Buffalo does something. They are 3rd in the AFC. The defense in January will keep them in any game. Imo adding some extra juice to the roster could be the difference in advancing in the playoffs. Move into the small group of teams with actual Superbowl hopes. Whether they deem that guy to be Gordon, Diggs whoever, maybe a defender, they put themselves in position make the most of it. Whoever, they bring they have the cap space and assets to please the player and team.

Article: Forbes article on Duke Williams
Mat68 replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I like Williams' edge he plays with. He brings a different element to the passing attack. I thought Jones was primed for a big year. Maybe, Williams makes the most of his playing time and produces the way I thought Jones would. Seems like Foster has battled injuries all year. Him healthy adds some extra juice to the passing attack as well. -
Imo, Allen is completely under rated. I know PFF wants to make Bill's fans seem delusional for saying this. Allen is being taught the position. They are giving him field reads, I dont see alot of scripted 1 read throws this year. Through 15 games hes got more wins then losses. 4 comeback wins, 5 game winning drives.

I disagree. Singletary showed this as well. The runs Gore gets10-15 Gordon gets you 20-30. The Oline is responsible for the rushing yards with Gore. Gore at this point will get the yards that are there, but not much more. In an attempt to compete with KC and NE, I would like to see Buffalo make a move like this. Gordon upgrades the rushing attack and underneath passing attack.

Zay Jones traded to Raiders for 5th rounder
Mat68 replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Zay is a west coast wr. Imo he will do well in Oak. Carr has one of the lowest air yards. Zay does his best work over the middle/intermediate. Regardless, no matter what happens in Oak the fit isnt there with Buffalo. When he was drafted Buffalo was running a West Coast offense so his skill set matched the offense. Having a big body wr like Williams is a nice change up. The Whaley term, when hes covered hes open. -
In my opinion they can be. The offense is moving the ball, but shooting themselves in the foot with untimely penalties and mistakes from Allen. The defense is stingy, yet not making game breaking plays yet. I think KC has peaked like every Andy Reid team. Brady is not the same guy. That oline is poor. Buffalo can find a groove offensively the second half of the year and the defense can score some points, they can beat anyone.
-
He still hasnt played a complete season yet. Taking things off his plate or going to a run heavy style cripples his development. Give him control of the offense, take some lumps and mistakes and learn from it. It's the start of October. Buffalo is 4-1 and far from reaching their potential or peaking. Get Allen reps and see if he can find a grove. He does that look out.

Zay Jones traded to Raiders for 5th rounder
Mat68 replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I like it. Imo Diggs has more left. Green is boom or bust. -
I would like to see Buffalo double down on this year. Buffalo will be in the playoffs. Can they get past NE or KC? With the defense they might. Get an impact player. Whether its offense or defense I dont care. Buffalo is a player or 2 away from being a contender.

Zay Jones traded to Raiders for 5th rounder
Mat68 replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Makes sense. Williams is a bigger body for the dirty work and contested catches. McKenzie, and Fosters speed needs to be on the field. I thought with the Wr around him, Zay would have a big year. That was not the case. -
I guess your right.

Empty yards. Those long kicks resulted in touchbacks and were fairly poor net kicks. Needs to put the ball in play more or out of bounds. His directional kicking is poor.
