Bills tabbed to go 15 - 1 by blogger
GreggTX replied to stuvian's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd love to see it, but we would need MASSIVE upgrades at many positions, especially at QB, to get anywhere near there. -
Melvin Ingram III trade scenarios - Bills mentioned
GreggTX replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would think they'd be better off finding out what we have in AJ Epenesa before trading for a guy to take over his position. After all, he WAS a 2nd round pick. If he were a 25 year old all pro, than OK. -
Given what we know, Week 1, who ya got?

Spencer Long retires three days after signing with 49ers
GreggTX replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It seems pretty clear, doesn't it? He was playing very well, but suffered numerous injuries which severely reduced his effectiveness to that of a bubble player. Time for Spencer to give his aching body some rest and healing. I just hope he isn't one of the retired NFL players whose injuries seriously compromise his quality of life. Head and neck injuries are the worst though. I'm not aware of any concussions or spinal cord injuries in his past. I hope he'll be OK. -
Ouch! Stomach cancer is no joke. I knew someone that died from it. Very painful! And only 57! Sad news.

If Josh doesn't take a really big step this year, odds are he never will and he'll be the next JP Losman. I haven't heard a lot of people say that this is a make or break year for any of those guys and I doubt many are saying that about Watson. With all due respect, I think you are overly sensitive to any criticism of Allen.

Washington DC Needs a New Football Nickname: Help Them Out

Horrible Harry...the forgotten man?
GreggTX replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I disagree on both points. I don't see how, after playing so well last year, they just suddenly give up on a 3rd round pick. Also, I clearly remember reading comments by Fewell and Jauron about how Kyle stepped right in and played at a high level as a rookie. -
Newton vs Allen and Pats vs Bills
GreggTX replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If Cam is healthy, this isn't even a question. Allen is one the worst passers among starting QB's in the NFL. Cam was an MVP the last time he was healthy. No contest. -
We have no one at DT that has proven himself, but there is potential. Brandon Beane sure does like signing marginal talent though and everyone compliments him for being pennywise. That's not to say that he hasn't signed any probowl calibur talent, but we are going to be relying on a lot of unproven talent at several positions. If H Phillips isn't a solid starter, we are reduced to hoping that unproven Oliver pans out. We really don't have another DT worthy of a starting job. This, along with the missed tackles by Edmunds, could leave us very soft against the run. Oh and I believe it was an ACL tear. If Phillips gets cut, that's a big blow to the team after he was playing so well at the start of the 2019 season. I think it would be a huge mistake to give up on him so soon.

Why Not Beane as President & GM of the Bills?
GreggTX replied to LB48's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Perhaps his background and skills are a good fit for that position, but we don't know that. Besides, he still hasn't proven himself as a GM yet. Let's see how his 1st and 2nd rounders pan out first, can we? None of them have played up to their draft position yet. Good lord! Some people talk like these guys just won back to back SB's. In 2018 you all wanted the Pegulas to clean house despite the obvious fact that it was a rebuilding year and I was defending them. Can't anyone exercise sober judgement here? If they lose you want Beane and McDermott fired immediately. If they win a single game against a decent team you want them annointed as president of the team. Get a grip. We've had 2 playoff losses in 3 years. Forget the slump. The goal is the Lombardi trophy and that's the standard they will ultimately be judged by. -
Good news, but I'd wait on Beane. He's got a lot of high draft picks (Allen, Edmunds, Oliver, Ford) that still haven't played up to a level that would justify their draft position. Allen, in particular is still a long way away from where he needs to be to justify everything we gave up to acquire him. I like the move, but I can't argue with those that say we should have waited a year. If we don't take a big step up in scoring offense, some may question this move. After all, waiting a year wouldn't have hurt anything. Then again, the positive signal sent by the 1st HC contract extension in a long time might just light a fire in everyone's step. It didn't work in Jauron's case, but I already can see that McDermott is a better HC.

How messed up will the 2021 draft be?
GreggTX replied to billsfan714's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Marv always said the draft was a crap shoot. It certainly was for Marv, but 2021 will be even more so. I expect teams won't be so shy about drafting for need even though they say they don't and then go out every year and do it anyways from the 1st to the last pick. Anybody want to start those mock drafts early? -
Ed Oliver interview - NFL put him in the drug program?
GreggTX replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I figured this was going to be way overblown, but he blows 0.0 and they still take him to jail? Now that he is handling this with class I'm an even bigger fan. I was a little concerned about his slow start last year, but he finished well enough. I'll be rooting for him to have a probowl year and I hope that if he's ever pulled over again that he'll be treated with the respect he deserves. Well played Ed. -
Forget Diggs! These 4 Free Agents need to produce!
GreggTX replied to LB48's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Winters is average or maybe just a tick above, but he should be a measurable upgrade over Feliciano unless there is something wrong with him that we haven't heard yet. Williams came back from a serious knee injury and played LG last year. He played poorly. If I were him, I might consider opting out to focus on rehabbing that knee and hope for a big rebound in '21. T Murphy isn't as good as he was in Washington, but he did make it back to near his prior level. Williams was an all pro before and so was J Norman. Hopefully those 2 guys can get back to 95%. -

Addison is average. The other 3 are below average. I don't expect much from them. Trent Murphy is better than all of them despite his relative lack of pass rushing skills. -
Josh Norman Giving High Praise to the Bills
GreggTX replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think McDermott has proven himself as a coach if not a game manager. Beane is still counting on his top picks to emerge. Allen has a long way to go. Edmunds is overrated and Ford still looks lost. Much of our success as well as Beane's reputation depends on those 3 guys.
