Can one be TOO INTO Buffalo?
First Round Bust replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
her eyebrows are the scariest -
they have an excellent roster and coaching staff and Wentz had his best years with Reich as OC in Philly then they drafted two EDGE rushers 1 and 2; all this after almost beating us on the road and likely would have if their kicker did not have the worst game of his career...sometimes better to be lucky than good...

smart move - they went EDGE like the Bills did in 1st and 2nd round knowing they had Fisher on the hook to plug LT spot with a vet..risk is will he hold up

How did Jaret Patterson go undrafted??
First Round Bust replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
dane brugler whose work I respect from the Athletic ranks him prospect #195 overall and the 18th best UDFA competetive, balanced, vision, quick feet and energy are a plus feasted on poor run fronts and tackling in the MAC lack of explosion and contact power does not project well to the next level - as well as below avg size and speed signed with the WFT...good luck to him -
Falcons declining fifth-year option on TE Hayden Hurst
First Round Bust replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
would be his 3rd team since 2018 - a first round bust given the Falcs passing O and the Ravens heavy TE-centric approach...doesnt excite me as stats are mediocre at best...would just muddy the waters I think -
rumors about the enemy's plans
First Round Bust replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
and here is one about the North Korean Hacking Army...climbing the rankings over the past 2 years... https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/04/26/the-incredible-rise-of-north-koreas-hacking-army -
PFF rating has him ranked 36 out 80 for Gs....Browns have # 1 C (Trotter) and former Bill...# 2 G (Teller) who is #1 run blocker...safe to say I wouldnt mind an IOL taken with the second rounder this year...7M in savings to cut Morse to pay Josh and possibly upgrade the position with run blocking improvement instead of wasting on a RB with pick 1.

Who's your pick for this years Madden cover?

josh, diggs, or baker mayfield -
Bills players you disliked
First Round Bust replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
going with James D Williams - #31 - he was the other corner to Nate Odomes (sp) during the Bills super bowl run - was a number one pick and got burned way too much...needed a flame-######ant jersey to remain on the field -
Dean Marlowe visiting Lions (update - signed)
First Round Bust replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
maybe this is the year - as part of the process rookies dont start or play much here - maybe its the cap crunch or maybe Johnson is the reason -
State of the Bills Roster 3 weeks into FA
First Round Bust replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
1. signing your own FAs is not only smart but super-smart when they take home-town discounts...expecting Josh to get his extension just before the season starts. 2. I really like the collection of FA vet depth at the bottom of the roster - depth, competition and value rather than relying on last year PS guys which exposed some roster weakness now addressed 3. so now the draft is about BPA - other than CB, edge, TE, where we need a push - but none of these positions have to be starters at least not right away. Vets are in place this season to mentor the picks as well (Addison, Wallace, OL) other than TE I feel good, as I dont see good options beyond Knox should he get hurt and or a mid-round draft pick helping this season. -
Bills sign OL Jamil Douglas
First Round Bust replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
we are winning the off-season - each bottom of our bottom-of-the roster is better than the other guys - depth baby -
Christian Wade granted a third exemption year
First Round Bust replied to IgotBILLStopay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
this is a week old, so far he had made over 900K for practicing and the annual 20+ carries fodder during the last preseason game...flashes of brilliance versus other 3rd-4th stringers in preseason game..so he will gross approx $1.5-2M in development before we make a GO-NO GO decision on him likely at end of training camp 2022 unless they cut him earlier as he likely looses the roster exemption status around this time next year....interesting human interest story but can he play special teams (not likely) or be a backup running back on a contender remains a work-in-progress -
Number of Bills under contract as of today
First Round Bust replied to LabattBlue's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
91 is Bills max number - due to a +1 for another year of the international development program- in our case RB Christian Wade - who will surpass $1M in career earnings for practicing and carrying the load to eat the clock during the last pre-season game every year https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/christian-wade-28987/stats-valuation/ -
hard to believe that the 16 game season has been around since 1978 - a good run for 40+ years and we are all need to re-calibrate our stats and records accordingly its certainly a one-off, the owners pushed for 18 and the NFLPA pushed back and ratified the CBA by only 60 player votes with game 17 being the biggest issue Rotating the game thru conference ping-pong is the best they can do ? I thought neutral site games would be a great idea; Toronto, London, Berlin, Vancouver, Montreal, Hawaii, college stadiums like Penn State, Ann Arbor, Clemson, etc would be cool and grow the game in areas that dont ordinarily experience NFL games with the tailgaiting and all. I hope the additional wildcard game added last season is now annual keeper as well...more GOOD football is a great thing.

Virtual off season = trade pick 30?
First Round Bust replied to rayray808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I like the idea as well, I dont think an edge player taken at 30 is going to be there with an organic pass-rushing skill that is a difference maker, so next I look at corner and is the guy at 30 the same guy we can take at 40-45 or not ? Could pick-up another 3 or 4th rounder (which we dont have) and given Bean's mid-round draft skills I like the idea of giving him extra assets for picks to not only make (quantity) but to move up down (quality). -
I read over the weekend an article in the Athletic by M Lombardi on Belicheck's (BB) FA shopping spree...re-loading...pointed-out that BB does this from time-to-time (Randy Moss, Wes Welker etc) esp when you look at how many FAs NE has lost...anyways...the key to his strategy has been consistent...focus on attacking and dominating the middle on both O and D and setting the edge D..so it makes me think that the Bills are not that...Morse is not a run-driving C, our run-game is more of an after-thought, our backs are not thrown to out of the backfield much...and our D issues are even bigger concerning the middle...stopping the run and esp middle pass coverages where the TEs seem to kill us repeatedly plus our edge is..well...old and not pass-rush effective...so with another off-season in the works...have we improved this strategy internally and more importantly given that Flores is a disciple of BB, and Miami drafts Pitts with the 6th pick, which makes sense given Tua's passing strengths (short-middle) and weaknesses (long) have we really addressed stopping it within the division ?

luv the guy and what he has done for our teams but do hope he gets Sabres a team president to run the hockey GM and operations like professional organization other than the soccer mom approach of relying on Kim's opinions in between picking out capri pants and maicure/pedicure appointments.

no way...Cam Newton may not be all that but NE is going to be better..it took hisfumble while they were deep in our territory to beat them at home last season... and no matter how bad the Jets are or who plays qb they always play us tough...I look for 6 tough AFC East games and Miami likely the next best team. Away games against some really good teams: New Orleans Saints · Tampa Bay Buccaneers · Tennessee Titans · Kansas City Look at the playoff win versus the Colts...they missed a TD catch by inches and missed 2 very makeable FGs which could have won the game for them. Saints, Titans will be tough games
