I understand where you are coming from. No position except QB really makes that much of a difference. That said however, losing Edmunds and Milano at the same time will be a challenge. It immediately exposes the weakest backup situation on the team. I hope McD and Frazier scheme something to cover for the lack of ability of Klein and Dodson. However creativity is not a strong suit of either McD or Frazier. I suspect they will roll out the standard defense and simply take a next man up mentality.

Predict the Score - Bills at Dolphins
Ethan in Cleveland replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bills 31 Dolphins 27 It will be closer than people think. Both teams will have long scoring drives eating clock in a fast moving game. Bills will be up 17 to 14 at the half with each team adding a TD in the 3rd quarter. Bills then extend lead to 31 to 21 early in the fourth. Dolphins counter with two drives that end up in long FGs. Bills win game with 5 min drive kneeling in the red'zone. -
Milano and Edmunds OUT against Miami
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Can't run them out of the building if the defense can't get off the field. This will be a great test for McD and Frazier. Also will be an interesting test case for paying Milano. If the defense really struggles it will boost his stock at least in Buffalo. If the defense doesn't miss him then it will add ty o the argument to let him walk at the end of the year. -
Milano and Edmunds OUT against Miami
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well this will be a good test for Klein. Didn't like the signing then in term of the player or the money. People were fretting about backup QB but I was posting biggest risk is backup linebackers. Just signing a LB, Matekevich that is solely for special teams hurts too. I was banking on Joseph stepping up but was quite wrong. -
Current TBD Whipping Boy?

Bass until he makes a pressure kick Murphy Ford Allen only in the aspect of his ball security -
How did the right side of the OL fare Sunday?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The O'line just is not that good at blocking or the scheme does not work well. Morse is not physical in the middle. Almost every player is better at pass blocking than run blocking with the notable exception of Feliciano. I would like to see Ford at RT and Winters at RG. Give the current 5 another game to see how much of the poor performance was due to the Jets D and hope they get up early on the Dolphins. Then give Ford some snaps at RT and Winters some snaps at RG. -
Agreed. At the time no one on this board thought he was worth the money LA paid him. No need to have a revisionist view of the decision. Bills didn't overpay and LA got more of a player than we thought. I don't recall any of these complaints you are referencing. I don't recall anything on or off the field to believe he hated being in Buffalo. Now I don't dispute he may have wanted out. Some guys want big cities some don't. Nothing wrong with that.

I know it's not a popular opinion on this board but table smashing is emberassing. Just makes the western NY region look bad. National view of Buffalo is snow, table smahing, and the bad view of the Falls. But glad he is having fun and didn't get hurt. Hope his son starts to show some athletic ability.

Would You Trade For Zach Ertz?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Buffalo03's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Teams do dumb things all the time. Who is to say the Eagles won;t trade him for less than he is worth. Maybe he has pissed people off in the organization. Hopkins, Jamal Adams, and Earl Thomas are recent examples of guys that were moved for curious reasons. Would I trade Kroft and a 2nd round pick and give Ertz a decent sized contract, yes. Knox looks like he can be great but a mentor like Ertz would go a long way. Philly will play a few more games before they consider making a move -
The packers really blew it selecting Love
Ethan in Cleveland replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Mike McCarthy and Dom Capers failed Rodgers. That team has had bad luck with injuries to key guys including Rodgers. Never been able to keep everyone healthy. They had enough talent on both sides of the ball but coaches failed them along with injuries -
The packers really blew it selecting Love
Ethan in Cleveland replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
People seem to forget the Packers already have a top 10 or at worst top 15 WR in Adams. They added numerous other players to their offense in the draft just not at WR. No issue with them taking Love. If they want to keep Rodgers and Love has a strong pre-season next year then maybe he has some more trade value. Maybe he is insurance for Rodgers who has gotten injured multiple times over the last few years. -
Bills not coming out for National Anthem
Ethan in Cleveland replied to DE Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Protesting does not mean they are not patriots. You can love your country and still know that is has many faults. There are 27 amendments to a document that has existed for over 225 years ensuring that our Democracy evolves and endures. -
Is the "read option" by the Bills something you like?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to LB48's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's not a good enough passer yet. Keep running him. He is big and strong like Newton and Roethlisberger. Steve Young ran early in his career. So did Elway. I have no problem with the designed runs. They work because he is a good runner and it gives you an extra blocker. The O-line is an average run blocking unit at best. At almost every position except maybe Feliciano they are all better pass blockers than run blockers. Just hold on to the ball and slide. He slid really well last year. He didn't slide once on Sunday. He just needs to learn two more yards won't matter most of the time and fumbles cost points. -
Bills not coming out for National Anthem
Ethan in Cleveland replied to DE Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Don't care. I'm supportive of the players. No need for the national anthem to be played before the game anyways. Save it for the Olympics and maybe the SuperBowls.
