Was this the best Bills QB stat game ever?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You are correct. What I read was: Steve Young – who is playing in place of the injured Montana – and the rest of his still very potent 49er teammates responded with an incredible 598 yards. And read that as that was Young's passing yards, missed the word "teammates". Further down just saw it states Young through for 449 -

OK the article I found with stats was a bit vague and didn't list INT's at all. Based on that, agree Allen's game was better, though considering the era back then with less passing than today does get Kelly bonus points. -

The No punt game against San Fran by Kelly 403 yards and 3 TD's was a pretty good one. But Young threw for 598 -
Typically if you live in the home market of either of the teams playing they will stick with the game. Considering the only locations carrying the game are south Florida and Western NY, it basically will mean everyone will continue with the Bills game. But if the game were shown someplace else, say NE, they may switch to the 4:25 game.

Week 2 Bills @ Dolphins PreGame Thread
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Admittedly my post wasn't very clear, I wasn't trying to imply he may not become a great player. I was more addressing a number of posts that have implied the fact that he wasn't active last week were questioning, does that mean he's a bust. My point was with as deep of a line they have, they don't need him this year. Most players drafted in the 1st round are expected to start or at least play a major role as a rookie. EJ may need some development time, so he dropped, but the bills being as deep as they are on the D line are likely one of the few teams who can wait for him to development and not be losing much. -
So interesting I just got an email today from CBS advertising their All Access. It listed all the games CBS is broadcasting implying anyone who has All Access can watch all these games, was expecting to see some fine print at the bottom specifying not for out of market games, but nothing. It may be deemed legal in that they can't come and arrest you for subscribing, but I'm about 99% certain it's not legal for whomever is broadcasting the actual NFL games. The only possible work around, not sure how legal VPN spoofing is, though even there it may be legal to VPN spoof, but not legal to watch the content? And certainly not legal to re-broadcast the game as a result of spoofing.

Week 2 Bills @ Dolphins PreGame Thread
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Who cares? Bottom line is the Bills have an extremely deep D line so they don't need him this year. He'll likely by Murphy's replacement next season. 19 teams passed on him twice, the 12 one time, likely for a reason. Considering back in January, there was talk of the Bills picking him at #20, but at that time the odds were against him still being available that low. -
I think the NFL like many businesses in the country have done a very good job of having practices that keep people isolated as much as possible, for the NFL, having players eating lunch outside and in larger more spread out areas, larger meeting rooms, etc. Where most of the cases are coming from these days are there days are people living in rather unavoidable tight quarters, nursing homes, jails, etc. The other big area today are from people ignoring rules and not worrying at all about catching it so going to mass gatherings, mostly college kids and people under 35.

Happy Burrow not in AFC East
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to gmanbfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Awful, OK fine, but maybe your memory is a little bad. The Bills WRs in 2018 were K Benjamin, Z Jones, Holmes, McCloud, and their star by seasons end was likely Foster with a TE of Clay and Croom who again by seasons end was the better of the two. So if the Bengal's cast was awful, what would you call the Bills? -
Milano and Edmunds OUT against Miami
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wouldn't help you this week as believe anyone needs to quarantine 48 hours before brought into the building. If he made the trade right now, add flight time, etc, he'd be lucky to make it to Buffalo by tend of day Friday. -

Well that kind of sucks. -
Happy Burrow not in AFC East
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to gmanbfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He also has a much better cast around him than Allen had as a rookie with a legit #1 receiver. The only somewhat of a star Allen had as a rookie was McCoy. -
OK LOL Over the weekend saw and ad for the Masters and at the time was thinking, how are they going to broadcast the Masters and football but never connected the two when looking a 506. So apparently they are going to have a much earlier start and finish than normal for the Masters as in April it doesn't end till around 7:00. Then again by Nov 15th sunset is around 5:30 in Georgia anyway so guess a 7:00 finish wouldn't work too well anyway. Coincidentally the Bills do have one of the few late games on CBS that day. I'd imagine they are planning for maybe a 3:15 to 3:30 finish for the Masters as don't want to conflict with football afterwards I'm sure so will want to be certain it's complete by 4:00

I'm an out of town fan so looking to see which games I can just flip on the TV and watch and which ones I'll need to be more creative for so was looking at the entire season page. I wonder why on November 15th, there are no early CBS games at all? May be a mistake as there are six early games listed on Fox and three of them are with road AFC teams which traditionally would be a CBS game. If the Bills game against Denver gets moved to Saturday, the Bills will be on national TV the entire month of December.

Current TBD Whipping Boy?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to buffaloboyinATL's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wow surprised out of close to 50 votes, I was the first person to select Knox. I don't in any way think he deserves it, but seeing how many threads there are here about replacing him, can't believe I was the first to pick him. While Ford is the runaway winner here, don't really think he deserves it either as was a rookie last season and did play very well in run blocking. Will be interesting to see if the move to guard becomes permanent. It's almost hard to find a whipping boy on this team. -
I think he has the footwork down, what he doesn't have is having the footwork down consistently every play. The times he'd forget get less and less , but still maybe panics on occasion and forgets everything he's been taught and reverts back to bad habits. The more you practice it the more it becomes 2nd nature, but likely still not 100% there yet, getting closer though.
