Baldy's Breakdowns from last night's demolition
ArtVandalay replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
Or elevated here. -
The obvious call is Breece Hall. Too soon to make any determination what so ever. But in a couple years could be talked about.

All this talk about Super Bowl expectations and I agree this team is built for it and that is the proper expectation at this point. HOWEVER, this team went only 11-6 last year, if not for the extra game we would have been 10-6, that's not good enough for a Super Bowl front runner. We need more consistency and focus during the season. We can't lose 9-6 against the Jaguars, we can't get our doors blown off against the Colts at home, and we can't be a no show in the first half like we did vs Tompa. We got hot at the right time down the stretch starting in the 2H of the TB game, but down the stretch we faced only 1 winning football team and that was NE. We had the focus vs Panthers, Falcons, and Jets but we should have beat those tomato cans. We had to expose Allen to running more to get there so I hope we solve those run game issues this year. All in all last year we were only 5-5 vs teams with a winning record in the regular season last year, 6-6 including playoffs, we need to do better if our expectation is Super Bowl. This falls on both coaching and players to prepare and execute. Our goal right now is #1 seed, bye, and home field advantage. With only 1 bye available with the expanded playoffs, #1 seed is even more important. And with the scheduling rules matching is up with last year's division winners, those games vs KC and Cinci are playoff games and should be approached that way. Those games will determine our seeding and home field for the playoffs. There is no just happy to be here. We need to be out for blood every game. I hope Josh Allen absolutely shreds Jalen Ramsey tonight. Stick it to every hater, everyone that ever doubted you, laughed at you, looked at you the wrong way, smirked, we obliterate them all. Starts tonight. This year I want the foot on the gas, killer instinct from this team. No letting teams like Atlanta hang around into the second half. No playing down to Jacksonville. Blitz the hell out of teams no sitting back with leads. What improvement are you looking for from this team this year?

Thanks, it really didn't take that much time.

This is a terrible contract if you look at his production: 28 rec, 388 yd, 2 td 24 rec, 288 yd, 3 td 49 rec. 587 yd, 9 td However, he is only 26 this year, signed for years 27, 28, 29, 30. TEs age longer out than other positions, we just bought his prime years as he enters. This contract is projected for future production and based on last year's step forward there's firm belief if he produced again this year he would get this deal on the market for sure. The market itself for TEs is totally screwed up after the Njoku, Jonnu, and Henry deals. I like the traits of Knox, but I don't think he'll ever be a Mark Andrew or Travis Kelce type producer, this contract says he won't. But if he can be in that next tier it's a solid deal or tier after that eh okay deal. Deals coming up for Goedert, Hockensen, and Waller about to redo his. Big money about to be spent. IMO the Bills are getting ahead of the market and have no interest spending draft capital at TE. As someone that always harps on future production and prime/ decline years. I like the deal given he takes the next step forward.

Ah good, nice to see a fellow architect here. Update: "We're very, very, very, super, duper close" to seeing a sketch of the new stadium.
-
I really don't, but hey if you value my opinion as gospel I appreciate the complement, thank you, happy to hear that's his you view it. Sure tons of people will buy them Captain Obvious, that doesn't make it right. Those are two completely different conversations. If you can't comprehend the double dip concept behind taking your tax dollars, then also taking a PSL on top of it then I don't know what else to say. Fork all your money over, lots of money to be made off people with that mind set. Brand building is a powerful thing. It is funny you are so worked up about someone being opposed to PSLs and the double dip with your tax dollars. Like it's just so odd that upsets you lol, no need to be offended by it.
-
I'm not going to. Hilarious how people defend this, especially with your tax dollars already funding the stadium.
-
You're not good at math, are you? I said about 2/3 of the league does PSL, you "corrected" me and said 20/32 LOL... 20/32=63%, close enough to 66%.
-
I'm sure the roast will be video recorded. Regardless, my interest in this is rather deflated.
-
Just because something somewhere else doesn't make it right. The Patriots are the winningest team is recent memory by far and they have not charged a PSL, so although some do it, the team with the most success in a rabid Boston market didn't. Approx 2/3 of the league does it and it is wrong. For stadiums already leveraging public funds it is ethically reprehensible. They are not popular in any other sport. Very small minority of MLB, NBA, or NHL teams have tried them. Considering the public funds for the stadium and years of support by the fan base through futility and poor venue this would be a major mis-step by ownership.

New nickname for our guy Matt Araiza
ArtVandalay replied to NeverOutNick's topic in The Stadium Wall
Punters don't deserve nicknames. Hopefully our offense produces well enough he's just known as Benchwarmer. -
(Rumor) Drew Brees hinting at a comeback
ArtVandalay replied to BuffaloBills1998's topic in The Stadium Wall
His arm strength is so weak at this point his hat landed short when he just tried to throw it in the ring. -
PSLs are the biggest slap in the face to fans ever. It's a way for owners to pass on construction costs to fans after the fans own tax dollars already financed a major portion of the stadium. Now if the PSL allowed you to design your seat, select cushion, fabric, and accessories then we might be talking. I think many would be okay with a PSL if they could have a crushed velvet zubaz heated seat with a built in pez dispenser.
-
Is very likely the Bills offense hits a lul either too start the year, or after the first few games when teams see their alterations from the past couple years. Be patient if it happens, but they need to be full swing come the 2nd half leading to the playoffs.

OT Deshaun getting ready for a sit down with NFL
ArtVandalay replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
Trevor Bauer got 2 years, give Watson the same or more. Heck a fan running on the field gets you banned for life. -
He's failed miserably in the playoffs for 3 straight years with the Texans and last year being just brutally abysmal all time great coaching collapses. 75% say nothing? Looks like we have a lot of fans putting the coach above the team not holding him to the same standard, or just happy to "not suck" and make the playoffs. He has beenthe biggest flaw of the team for 2 years now.

I think Greg Rousseau becomes an elite pass rusher in 2022
ArtVandalay replied to streetkings01's topic in The Stadium Wall
LOVE Rousseau, kid is going to be a stud. Miller is a very very different type of player from him but will help greatly in his approach to the game and overall game understanding as a pass rusher, but what Miller does rushing and Rousseau two very different things... which is also why I'm excited you have two great talents with very different pass rush abilities. -
Rd 3, Pick 89 (25): LB Terrell Bernard, Baylor
ArtVandalay replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
So what you are trying to say to boost your cause is that Saffold played just as well with 1 arm vs a perfectly healthy player? 🤣 Good job. Williams stinks dude, Saffold is a much better guard, he gets far more push so much better on the run game and a far far better track record and played through nerve issue in his shoulder last year. Also no where have I seen a single report that he has a "chronic" should injury, it was a nagging injury that occurred in preseason, but in no way is it a chronic issue, stop making stuff up. Not only did we dump Williams as he deserved, NO ONE has any interest in signing him. Zero, zip, nada. -
Rd 3, Pick 89 (25): LB Terrell Bernard, Baylor
ArtVandalay replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Darryl Williams was absolute trash this past year. The guy didn't even know the snap count with the game on the line vs the Jags and never got out of his stance. Not enough push and just a disaster. Saffold is far stronger way more push and just so much better than Williams was this past year is not funny. Don't try to say it's debatable if he's an upgrade come on get real. Darryl Williams should have been doing glad bag commercial last year. -
Rd 6, Pick 180 (1): Punter Matt Araiza, San Diego State
ArtVandalay replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
If this dude gets cut before the start of the year I can't wait to see this place lol... I thought people suggesting a mid round pick for a punter on a team like this were just silly. But end of draft, 6th round, sign me up. Excellent pick. -
Not really. He's just not good. It's why he's been on 5 teams in 7 years signing short term cheap contracts. He can't hold a candle to Wallace lol he can run in a straight line faster, that's not more talented.
-
Wouldn't expect people to. He was a 4th round pick that was cut after one season, the one year he played you were enamored with the play of Kyle Orton. Everyone was just a mere ant in the shadow of Kyle Orton.
-
I agree with you that trading a low 4th isn't very damaging, especially if it is a draft the team doesn't like. However, as much as I agree I absolutely hate the notion that front office and coaches are infallible, don't make poor moves, or make poor judgements -- that fans can't criticize actions or roster moves. That's crap. The best defense is pointing out this isn't a very good draft to begin with and pointing out what 4th round picks usually look like. We didn't even like other first rounders so would you rather have 1 thing you love or 1 that's okay and another so so?
