What FA Signings Have Directly Lead to SB Wins?
MikePJ76 replied to st pete gogolak's topic in The Stadium Wall
Haley was a trade. Dallas had all the parts already, they had another excellent draft in 92 adding guys like Darren Woodson and Kevin Smith. -
if you want your safeties to be better, build a great defensive line that disrupts the game. This is the year for this organization to rebuild the defensive line and this time get big time production from this group, particularly in the playoffs. This team should have excellent linebackers and corners next year. If they build an equal defensive line they can get by with just good safety play from a rookie or mid level veteran. Then go after a big time safety next season. This off season to me is all about building a new defensive line much like last year was improving the offensive line safety is way down my list to worry about. Allen needs a big time weapon at wr if not two more and the defensive line has to be rebuilt and not just with average players.

What FA Signings Have Directly Lead to SB Wins?
MikePJ76 replied to st pete gogolak's topic in The Stadium Wall
Deion plus like a dozen more guys. The niners cheated the cap that year and used signing bonuses and other things no one was doing to sign all these all star players. Deion, Gary Plummer, Ken Norton Jr., Charles Mann, Tim Harris, Richard Dent, Rickey Jackson, Ed McCaffery and Bart Oates. They literally signed a pro bowl team of free agents. They could not stop Dallas offense and this was their only way to win and had Dallas not been banged up they probably lose the 94 nfc championship too. after this season they were never close to this level again in that era. -

yea in effect it was Manning and then Demarcus Ware later. Ware dominated in that championship season. He did what chris jones did this year, he impacted brady on the most important drives of the game denying them touchdowns. -
I know it can't happen but Barkley could have a historic season in this Bills offense. Barkley and Cook would be a fascinating duo. Barkley might have 15 receiving Touchdowns here. I was hoping the Giants would have made a friendly deal to trade him here two years ago but the Giants started fast and made the playoffs. Barkley would create so many mismatches for defenses here it would be fantastic to watch. I hope he stays in the NFC. It doesn't get talked about much but I believe this team needs another running back to go with cook. Not a change of pace guy or big bruiser, another legitimate full time back.

Who Would You Trade Up For, And How Far Would You Go Up To Get Them?
MikePJ76 replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall
Dane Brugler's most recent mock has Buffalo trading with Dallas. I will just say I am not of fan of UT players. They all seem like spoiled brats. 24. Buffalo Bills (from DAL)*: Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas Projected trade: Bills send No. 28 and No. 99 to the Cowboys for No. 24 and No. 213 I am not 100 percent sold on Mitchell being a culture fit for Buffalo. General manager Brandon Beane wants super competitive players, and Mitchell showed flashes of that, along with the talent to become a top-15 receiver in the NFL. Based on talent and skill level, Mitchell would be an upgrade at receiver — but how he interviews will determine everything. Beane will never be shy trading up for a player he thinks can be a difference-maker. -
I will miss him. The Old guard of the NFL is completely gone. The game has changed and the people who cover it have changed. Now we have backwards hat youtube guy who watches film and are all draft experts and scheme experts. The Peter King, Rick Gosselin, Will McDonough's etc etc...were writers who along with nfl films told stories and made the NFL more than it ever was. The players and coaches used to be characters in these stories and there was something magic about all of it. Now we have backwards hat youtube film watching draft experts arguing with players whose whole life revolves around dating instagram influencers and all that comes with that. It's all kind of boring to me and everyone in the nfl just seems really uncool....maybe that's not the best way to say it but they just seem like spoiled rich kids or something. anyway. I will miss reading peter king. I will also miss reading the funny stories about peter king. He once was invited to spend draft weekend in Dallas in the war room to write a piece. He kept falling asleep during the meetings and only was awake and talkative when the food arrived. Then he wrote this big piece on Dallas draft! Pretty funny. I remember watching him make appearances on the MSG network way back when he was a beat writer for the Giants. He was the last of his generation essentially.

Allen, the Super Bowl "window," and the KC hurdle
MikePJ76 replied to T.E.'s topic in The Stadium Wall
yes the injuries at linebacker were just incredibly poor timing. The defensive line was 100% healthy and they got pushed around at home all game. I just don't trust this front office/head coach to find DL talent in the draft. They seem to ironically have an excellent record drafting offensive players recently but the defense just has to be better. They can not continue to get pushed around at home in the playoffs. I don't know how they pull off what they need to do on defense in one offseason. It seems like a 2 to 3 year process -
Allen, the Super Bowl "window," and the KC hurdle
MikePJ76 replied to T.E.'s topic in The Stadium Wall
beating the chiefs is 100 % on the defense. Mcdermott's group comes up short every year, low scoring games, high scoring games...doesn't matter his defense comes up small. and now they are essentially starting over on the defensive line which will take up precious resources, replacing precious resources that have already been spent on the defensive line. it feels like mcdermott is in the same spot tony dungy was in when he was in tampa...he just had no answers and could not get over the hump. hopefully they have an A+ draft and find some productive players in mid level free agency. So far their answer to the defense not getting over the hump was to overpay for von miller who then was injured and is not the same player anymore and they are stuck with him. He was supposed to be their charles haley, reggie white or jevon kearse to get them over the hump and he has been an expensive dud. They have dug quite a hole with the roster defensively and with a bad contract to miller. I am not sure how you rebuild an entire defensive line in one offseason.- 63 replies

Bills to add Ronald Curry as quarterbacks coach (updated)
MikePJ76 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
I will never not stop saying this but as long as Josh Allen is here Coaches will line up to coach here. If McDermott were to walk away next year The bills would have their pick of whatever coach they wanted. all the more reason to make sure the organization, the roster and the staff are fully behind him and he is given enough tools to do his job.- 93 replies

Should the Bills trade up for their own “Julio Jones”
MikePJ76 replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
They are not in a position to trade up. They need to fill the roster with players on rookie contracts to alleviate the miller and diggs contracts over the next 2 years. They should definitely draft and sign a wr for sure but they need to rebuild the defensive line and find a safety. You know because the defensive head coach and the gm who works for the defensive head coach who spend most of their resources on defense....need to find defense again. We have to hope they hit on at least 4 guys who can play right away next year and find at least 4 mid level veteran free agents who can play right away. Have to just get through this short window where diggs and miller have these high salary numbers. -
seems kind of like Carolina is that. They have the new Dan Snyder and missed big time on their qb.

I guess but the rams were awful and He can not be held responsible for that giants season. He did the interim label as a favor more than likely to gettleman. It would be interesting how he would do in washington with a rookie qb and a young OC or a proven OC to install their systems while he runs the defense. maybe he is just a coordinator but you can make the case that quinn is also just a coordinator.

Kind of amazing Steve Spagnuolo keeps winning with his defense in the playoffs and doesn't get this opportunity. I guess front offices think Patrick Mahomes is the reason for all the winning and not the defense shutting down three great offenses in the playoffs. Next year if the bills don't finish with a championship Ben Johnson should be on their radar. Seems he wants to hire his own gm though so who knows. Vrabel and Belichick sitting the year out is pretty surprising.
-
Time will tell. I liked the fact that he is not afraid to keep running the ball. That's where winning starts on offense. The Bills learned to do that this year and they have a nice group at RB, TE and O-Line. This should continue. Hopefully they add a veteran wr and draft one and maybe justin shorter can help some also and the bills have weapons that can get open and catch the ball.

Harbaugh watched a video of his star running back beating up his gf in an elevator and did nothing about it. He shouldn't be in the league. Both Harbaugh's are awful. I hope the chargers fail miserably.

In a heartbeat. I love Dan Campbell. Sean McDermott is to the Bills right now what Tony Dungy was to Tampa Bay in the late 90's early 00's. He has taken the team as far as it can go. There is no shame for McDermott in moving on and he will be a head coach somewhere else. Its a replacement business. This is the perfect offseason to hire an offensive minded head coach, you know like KC, SF, Rams, Bengals, Eagles etc....outside of New England all the other champions of the last 10 years have offensive head coaches. Andy Reid, Sean McVay, Doug Pederson, Gary Kubiak. Instead they are refusing to accept the truth staring them in the face and they are going to just let Sean McDermott take another shot at out scheming the opponent because this year might be the year he does it. IMO it is time for a change but obviously they are not going to to do that so I am not going to harp on it over and over this offseason, its a pointless exercise. They have the 2nd best qb in the game, a fantastic offensive line, a good young rb, two excellent tight ends and two good wr. An offensive minded head coach come in and pick the new WR's to finish out this group and hire a veteran defensive coordinator who can concentrate on defense only. This is the perfect time do to it. What's the worst that happens, the defense doesn't play well in the playoffs and gets them beat?

This organization definitely needs to spend time this offseason worrying about the quarterback. They should put their heads on their pillows at night happy as can be knowing that they have spent a ton of resources on Defense, have a defensive head coach, have a GM that works for the defensive head coach, have missed on big draft picks on defense and each and every year they get stuck in the same place in the playoffs because for various reasons said Defense can not make game changing plays to save their life in these playoff games. They play great in november and december and then are no shows in the most important game. So yea, lets worry about tough love for the quarterback this offseason while the organization throws I bet 80% of its available resources this offseason at the defense again while the same guy runs the defense. Should workout great. Maybe with some tough love Josh Allen will account for 65 Touchdowns next year while the defense gives up 8 yards per play at home in the playoffs again.
