Less. Kelly was the GM. His VP of player personnel was fired along with him. Donahue is simply being given that guys responsibilities, for now. He did not get the VP title nor is he now "running the Eagles".

Would you re-sign Harvin to $3m incentive laden contract?
FLFan replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree that they should be looking for a legit number 2, but I would take another chance on Harvin at the right price. The Bills offense was considerably more dangerous when both he and Watkins were playing. I would not bet the future on it, but he is a playmaker. -
Firing Rex could save Marcel Dareus Career
FLFan replied to NastyNateSoldiers's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What ruined fat Albert's career was his arrogance and laziness. The same thing for the same reasons may also happen to Dareus. Am I the only one that thought, given his history of spotty motivation, that a big contract could result in Dareus returning to his old days? Dareus played like someone awash in his own press clippings and unmotivated. He, like others, needs to stop bitching and play like the star he clearly thinks he is. -
You would naturally think so, self proclaimed cynic that you are.

FanDuel and DraftKings Banned in NYS
FLFan replied to CountDorkula's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It has gathered Government attention because there is big corporate money and influence behind traditional casino and hotels who want that for themselves. The brick and mortar gambling industry is right now pushing legislation in Congress to further restrict online gaming such as currently bring tried in NV, NH, and DE. Add to all that the fact that states, like NY, now depend heavily on revenues from legal gambling like lotteries, keno, state regulated casinos, and Indian casinos. New York State does not care about the abuse of reckless gambling. If it did, the state sponsored gambling they promote would not exist. They care about the market economics of their own gambling enterprises, and the political support they receive from the gaming operators. -
Jets Waive OLB Quinton Coples; Claimed by Miami
FLFan replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If that is the case, then probably no team will claim him on waivers. Once he is a FA, it's a new ball game. -
On a critical 4th and 1 yesterday, with the game still in reach, Peyton chose to run spiller up the middle. Predictable 2 yard loss.

IK Enemkpali to be team captain vs. Jets
FLFan replied to Wazzu Bill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would be surprised if a good portion of the Jets team were not happy to see Geno get punched in the mouth. Not excusing it, but that guy has always seemed to be a bit of jerk, a poor leader, and an even worse QB. -
When you've missed the playoffs for 15 years...
FLFan replied to Buffalo Beeeews's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You really have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry, but that's a fact. -
You are right, but the Bills have not gotten that call on more than one occasion this year. It was nice to watch a game without a bunch of flags on close or meaningless plays. The bills did play more disciplined I thought, but it also seemed the officials were letting them play.

Ah, yes. The "rose colored glasses comeback". It's a classic. -
I agree.

It's really too bad you missed a very good game. -
Bills v jests second half game thread
FLFan replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great win. Unbelievable. They really came through for Rex in this game. Best performance by the defense all season. Taylor made enough plays to win and McCoy showed everyone why he is one of the top RBs in the league. -

We need a defensive stop here. Mario being out is showing just how valuable he is. -
They beat the Jets on Monday night last year in Detroit. The rescheduled blizzard game

Exactly. "Just win baby"

You thought the Bills' "Color Rush" Uni's were bad?
FLFan replied to thebandit27's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I bet all 12 do. -
Perhaps they should just the determine the outcome of games each week based on stats, no? You do not have to hit Fitz to hurry his throws and force him into incompletions and turnovers - you just have to put him in position where he NEEDS to throw downfield. The Bills DBs are superior to the Jets receivers across the board, and Fitz is no Brady and will not be able to do to the bills what Brady did with the short throws. The Bills rush defense is pretty darn good itself, giving up only 3.9 yards per carry. (The Jets 3.8). The Bills do not need sacks to win this game. They need turnovers and if they stop the run, which they should, and force Fitz to throw downfield, they should have their opportunities. On offense, the bills running game is actually a great matchup against the "vaunted" Jets rush defense. The Bills have two very good running backs plus a QB who can move the chains with his feet, which is why they average over 4.8 yards per rush. The Jets have not faced any attack like this. The Bills receivers are better than the Jets DBs, straight up. I would take Taylor over Fitz any day at this point at QB. Take heart - Buffalo has the better team and should win. Now, about those penalties ......
-
Overall, tough game, close game - the Bills pull it out 27-23 Bills on Offense - Positives - Bills averaging over 4.8 yards per carry, while Jets giving up only 3.8 but The Bills have a great tandem at RB and Taylor as the wild card - will be successful enough - Outside of Revis, the Jets secondary is still problematic - the Bills WRs are better than the Jets DBs; I expect Woods to have good success; Watkins can beat Revis enough to make a difference as Revis reputation is greater than his production at this point. - Look for Clay to have a big game - the Jets LBs struggle in coverage. Get McCoy the ball in the passing game. Concerns - Can Roman game plan to effectively slow down the Jets rush and allow them to attack via the air? Using taylor's skills should make the difference. The Bills will need to have early success passing to make the run game effective. Bills on defense - Positives - The Bills DB's can handle the Jets WR's - Bills only allowing 3.9 yards per carry and Jets running game has been bad lately - The Bills are capable of covering short and keeping plays in front of them, forcing Fitz to make deeper throws, where he is prone to mistakes. Concerns - Have they got a plan to cover the screen game better than last week? Better tackling would be a good start. - Will the Bills big payday players show up and play to potential? They need Dareus to have a good game. They need to get pressure on Fitzpatrick to turn on the TO machine. - Can they play with emotion while not taking stupid penalties? General Concern - Penalties and officiating - Will the Bills eliminate the stupid stuff? - Will the officials let these teams play, or at least call it even? The Bills, perhaps deservedly so, are not getting any benefit of the doubt based on their reputation at this point. I would love to see a game where the officials do not control the outcome, any game in the NFL at this point.

IK Enemkpali to be team captain vs. Jets
FLFan replied to Wazzu Bill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybin was a captain for the Jets in their first game against the Bills after they signed him. Rex has been doing this for years, every game. This is a big deal for no one but the media. -
Is Rex stubbornly imposing his scheme on wrong players?
FLFan replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There may be some truth to this - I am not a coach nor am I any expert on schemes - but at some point the players have to held accountable. Maybe they are not as good as they think they are. These guys need to shut up about scheme and play better, particularly Dareus.
