What are your plans for watching the draft?
FLFan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am not listening, but I totally believe you and am not at all surprised. Heading out to a local bar for a draft party with the local Bills Backers. Beer, wings, and Bills talk. Should be fun. -
Ain't happening. No trade with the Jets; deep DT class; not the player they covet in any case.

Interesting thought on Hock & the Bills on Twitter
FLFan replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My hope, and my belief, is that the Bills at looking at this the same way. Not worth number 9. If they end up trading back, maybe, depending on how far. -
D&C's Roth Serves Up 9-7 Prediction With Playoffs
FLFan replied to OldTimeAFLGuy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Tyrod Taylor 2.0. Somewhat improved but with the same basic design flaws as the original. -
Rob Gronkowski Dents Lombardi Trophy with Bunt
FLFan replied to stosh64's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He always has been and always will be a moron. -
I don't. The Jets are darlings and in a big media market.

If anyone still thinks we drafted the wrong QB
FLFan replied to ProcessAccepted's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It is way too early to compare these QBs. Anything can and will still happen. I like our chances, but we still do not know. -
Bills get surprise nod in ESPN Power Ranking article
FLFan replied to The Red King's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We live in a star f...... world. In virtually any walk of life, certainly the NFL, the masses respond to star power, as do lazy writers. They got Antonio Brown, therefore, they are greatly improved. Maybe. We will see. -
Thanks for posting, Chandler! I agree with you - that was a formidable team. Great defense. I was at the game (yes I am old, but only 8 at the time). It forever solidified my love of the Bills.

Let's have a way too early Win Projection
FLFan replied to foreboding's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You are right - way too early. We do not know what any of these teams are likely to be, including the Bills. That said, I would be disappointed with less than 10 wins. 8 at the bottom, 12 at the top, depending on the breaks. -
Bills likely will still draft OL based on pre-draft work
FLFan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would be shocked if the Bills do not draft an OT in the first three rounds at least, quite possibly the second. They need long term OL solutions and the guys signed so far are short term answers, even though upgrades. Draft and develop should be, and I believe is, the long term plan. -
Yes, the drought was sole draining, but I have heard many people around here describe Bills teams during that time, including last year, in ways that would indicate some horror show. My response - not even close. The only team I have seen perform worse over the last 30 years is the Browns under Hue Jackson. Talk about sole draining. ?

Does Jake Fisher Signing mean the end of Patrick DiMarco
FLFan replied to RPbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Considering how poor the Bills ST were last year, I would not hang my hat on ST contributions. I have never found him to be a particularly useful FB and that does not seem to be an offense that Dabol wants to feature. That said, he has been valuable as a locker room guy I suppose, but I certainly hope that the Bills find a way to move on from him this year with a more productive and versatile player, Fisher or someone else. -
Does Jake Fisher Signing mean the end of Patrick DiMarco
FLFan replied to RPbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am guessing the role they have in mind for Fisher is HBack to some degree at least. Theoretically, assuming he can play, he can offer blocking on running or passing plays from the backfield, and be capable of being an outlet on the pass, even spreading out to offer a different pressure on the defense. The Bills rarely used the fullback formation last year, and DiMarco is very limited - poor runner and receiver. Who knows if he will actually win the job, but I would think it is either him or DiMarco. -
Yes, we need depth, but not in the first round. There are more impactful players available at more pressing areas of need like OL, DL, and TE.
-
There are very good reasons. The Bills have three LBs on the field a fairy small percentage of the time. Milano is a stud, and so is Edmunds. There is no reason to spend a high draft choice on another MLB. The need better depth, and an eventual replacement for Lorenzo, but not in the first round, certainly not this year. There is zero chance this coaching staff moves on from Edmunds at MLB this year. Edmunds struggles at times with reads but came on very strong in that regard later the year. He had a very good season, for any player, much less a 20 year old rookie.

Well, Allen actually had a much better rookie year than Mahomes since he did not even play until the final week. I am quite sure the red shirt year helped Mahomes who was not really NFL ready either. I am not saying Allen will make the same type of jump, but there are in fact many similarities in their game in spite of the snark employed in the articles quoted. Hopefully he can realize that potential with an upgraded supporting cast.

WR Cole Beasley (Dallas) to the Bills
FLFan replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That one gave me a chuckle as well. -
