Bills' 2018 Training Camp Day 3 - First Day in Pads
Mat68 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Only a matter of time. At this rate Allen gets the first go in preseason 1 and it is a wrap. -
Josh Allen “not looking to beat anyone out”
Mat68 replied to JaCrispy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He has the most talent and the team invested the most in him. If he can do some of the other things they expect out of McCarron or Peterman he wins. -
[Vague Title] It continues... Josh Allen...
Mat68 replied to Scorp83's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Until he proves it on field he will always have detractors. Time will tell. Basically, you have the analytic marvel with Mayfiled and the prototype Qb prospect in Allen. We shall she how this plays out. Right now he has said and done all the right things in Buffalo. Personally, I think and hope Allen becomes the starter in camp and he never looks back. -
Todd Gurley resets the RB market with Rams extension
Mat68 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I disagree. Bell in FA gets 3 years 50 all guaranteed. Zeke will get more than Gurley. RBs will be the first position at the top to take 1 or 2 years less for more guaranteed money. Gurley's deal is pretty much 3 years 45 mil. -
Imo Allen is the starter week 1 or becomes it before the end of week 2. Allen is doing all the small stuff while also having the most talent. When he is out working the other guys what's the point of not playing the more talented guy? Run game, defense, 2 or 3 big pass plays a game is a decent formula to win.

Bills sign LB Keenan Robinson, roster at 90
Mat68 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Has good size and speed. I think at best he starts at Sam and is the other nickel linebacker. At worst he is the 4th linebaker and spells for all three starters. Overall good pick up. Alexander at this point needs to be a situational player and this allows that. -
Adrian Petersen or DeMarco Murray (if Shady story has legs)
Mat68 replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They are dead legged. Murray was ran into the ground and one of the reasons Murlarkley was not retained. I would trade for a teams second back. David Johnson Cle, Tevin Coleman Atl. Would take a mid rd pick but worth it to me. -
To be worst I feel high expectations needed to be had. Todd Collins was god awful and suppose replacement for Kelly. Troup because only the 2000's Bill's could pass on drafting local boy Rob Gronkoski. He played like a rookie 7th rd pick. When late rd picks play as rookies they are what they are IMO.

Seems like they broke up he wants her out of his house. Got lawyers involved and a day before a court hearing this surfaced ?. With what happened in Philly a few years back McCoy will get a game or 2. Regaurdless of facts. I would talk to Cleveland about Duke Johnson or look into finding an all purpose back as insurance. I don't really believe the allegations because of the circumstances but in today's NFL guilty until proven more guilty.

The fallacy of Allen being the bigger "risk" than Rosen
Mat68 replied to Magox's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Rosen vs Allen. Do you want ceiling of Farve or ceiling of Ryan. Ones a hall of fame super MVP the other remains to be seen. Give me Farve all day every day. Good defense and a few big plays wins games and early. -
He is incredibly talented. Comes down to what kind of kid he is. Poor academics are one thing. Is there any other off the field things? Can learn an NFL defensive scheme? For a 3rd with Buffalo holding 2 4ths I think it's a reasonable gamble. I expect multiple teams put in picks for him, comes down to rd and positioning.

Is your Dad the reason you’re a Bills fan?
Mat68 replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes. Ironically, he is a browns fan. Most of my family are Bill's fan. The first game I went to was Buffalo vs Denver. Elway vs Kelly. -
A tie goes to Allen. He routinely puts balls, and makes throws the other QBs on the roster can't. I don't see where his negatives out way his positives. Unlike Mike with Edmund's, Allen has to work for the job, show he is one of the guys, and become the unquestioned leader. After TC comes to a close everyone will agree Allen gives the 2018 Buffalo Bill's the best shot at winning games. He doesnt need to be Aaron Rodgers. Young Big Ben with this running game and D Buffalo could surprise a lot of people.

McCarron or Peterman needed Allen to shrink under the pressure of playing with the first team. From everything being reported that has not happened. A tie goes to Allen. So far McCarron or Peterman have not run away with it. Some mock my prediction of Allen being named before game 2 of the preseason. So far nothing has shown me that wont happen.

Tremaine Edmunds vs. Roquan Smith: Direct Comparison
Mat68 replied to IgotBILLStopay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They don't make them like Edmund's. 6-5 250 Mikes that run like dear are unicorns. He could become a generational player. You go with the freaky athlete and teach him how to be great. -
All NFL Contracts Should Be Performance Based ...
Mat68 replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They pretty much are. The rare occurrence of mid 20 something former first or second rd pick or top 20 QB on the open market, they set the market for their position. Mario was never the best DE in football. Even with the Texans. Early on they could see Jj Watt was a better player. Now for what Buffalo was getting they got top 10 De numbers. Expecting more than that, you were setting unrealistic expectations. I would argue Fitz was given an appropriate contract. If he was retained he takes one of those Marrone or Rex teams to the playoffs. Besides being a first rounder or earning a second contract the other contracts are performance based. Not sure what the OP is referring to? -
I think Buffalo adds another WR before camp. With that said I think Allen starts week 1 or takes over by week 3. I think Buffalo could really do a what Pittsburgh did with big Ben as a rookie. Defense, running game, Allen make 2 plays a game.

"Josh Allen is blowing people away" - Chris Simms
Mat68 replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If he was throwing picks and looking bad it would be all over the place. If Allen had a day similar to Mahomes, the media that thought Allen was a reach would crucify him. Lets just face facts. We are all homers here. We are talking Buffalo Bills football to strangers on the internet 730 in the am 100 days before the season. -
"Josh Allen is blowing people away" - Chris Simms
Mat68 replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sims was in NE when Dabol. I enjoy the Simms and Lefkoe podcast. Simms pulls some very good info from time to time. Simms liked Allen alot. He thought he was the most pro ready and would start way sooner then the media was projecting. The part that makes me believe its more than just a big arm in shorts thing, was him saying its very similar to Wentz in Philly. Its everything hes doing, not just on the field. Coaches, players everyone is buzzing. -
Josh Allen already impressing in Buffalo
Mat68 replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The open practices are going to be the most clear. I would say easily half of the media members that follow the Bills were against his selection. They want to prove their own intellegence. So far no peep. Even some forced praise. Allens strengths are apparent and easy to see. His accuracy knock are not as severe as they were protrayed to be. I think Allen starts week 1. And preseason game 1 he is announced as the starter.
