Redskins' OL Trent Williams will not play vs. Bills
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Have they commented on who will be playing QB on Sunday for them? Last I read their starter was still in concussion protocol. Will it be Haskins? -

Clear Sign Beane Doesn't Think We Are Ready

I do agree about the moron part, but it's you that is the moron, or a troll take your pick! But it's one or the other. -
Clear Sign Beane Doesn't Think We Are Ready
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Ghs24mike's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes but that doesn't mean the OP's point is incorrect at all. Beane may have been all in for Sanu as long as Atlanta took a 5th rounder for him. Once the price got too high he was not longer in. Personally I was all in for the Bills trading for Green, Williams, Beasley and Miller as long as after all the trades were done the Bills still had their 1st thru 3rd round picks and at least one of their 4ths. Probably would want a DT thrown in their too. As far as NE having a tougher schedule, only two games differ, admittedly, they are quite a bit tougher than ours. But overall do agree we are still a year away. -
Jets looking to deal L Bell

Can't blame him much on this one as recall reading Gase never wanted him. -
Drew Bledsoe debate topic
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Always wondering when he came to Buffalo, there were two teams interested in him Buffalo and the Bengals. But recall him telling Cinncy he wasn't interested, so he ended up here. His first season here he started out great until around mid season when they played NE. BB made him look terrible. After that seemed like other teams took note of what BB did and tried some of that, (at that point BB wasn't yet labeled a genius) but seemed weren't 100% convinced that was the key to stopping Bledsoe. NE played Buffalo again around week 16 or so, BB did the same and again stopped him cold. After that other teams copied the blueprint and Bledsoe was done. But what if he had instead gone to the Bengals. The AFC east had just played the crossover games against the AFC north the year prior so would have been at least two year before he faced BB and would have only been one game and was late in the season they played. Would he have instead looked much better as he had in the first few games he played in Buffalo and maybe had three more decent years? -
Actually forgot it has been 3 years for McD. Last year they had 10 picks. Many here felt there would be trades as there really wasn't ten roster spots for rookies to take. years prior, don't recall exactly how many picks they did or didn't have. 61 other teams also didn't pick Ju Ju, there's always going to be someone you wish you had picked instead.
-
How many holes are there really? WR, RT or guard (depending on where Ford ultimately ends up) and DE are to me the three main areas where likely use your first three picks. After that maybe backup LB though the guy on IR this year may fill that role, another RB bruising kind of guy, then in FA pick up another DE, then either resign Phillips or pick up someone in FA for DT. And maybe in the fifth or sixth round or so a punter.
-
And then who's playing RT and DT for you? You can't fill all the holes in one or even two drafts. But yes I do think they will go for mote offensive players, in particular a WR and a tackle. Doubt they will resign Spain so Ford moves inside next year, and draft or sign a FA RT. Also could use another RB too But they also do need a pass rushing end and depth at LB though the rookie on IR may solve some of that.

Bills vs Eagles Pregame thread
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Is it unusual for teams to only dress 7 Offensive lineman? That seems very low. My observation without looking up stats is most teams have 9 on the 53 man roster and dress 8 each week?? Seems they've done that other weeks too. Appears they going light there to keep more DB and D lineman active. -
Good teams/Bad teams and Points
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree that the Bills are team T and they ate team T whether they are playing a good or bad team. The problem is the Bills have only played one real good team, one team that was supposed to be good, but maybe is so-so, and four real bad teams that have three wins between them. I'll also agree that they are continuously shooting themselves in the foot to stop scoring drives with penalties and turnovers. If they stopped doing that, they likely would be averaging 10 more points a game. But they're not and what's to say that will change? If they go out today and score 35 on Philly that would be a real good sign that maybe they can clean it up. But until that happens I just don't see them continuing to win against the better teams in the league averaging 20 points a game. Maybe they are one of these teams that just plays to the level of the competition and keep games close but usually that will eventually catch up with you. Today will be a good indicator as they are playing a good team that hasn't lived up to their billing so far. Is 5 more points a game a big difference no. To be honest initially I was going to pick a number like around 75 or 80 point differential . If they were up there, I'd feel it's much more sustainable. But then looked at your list and 80 points would place them up around #3 in the league and just don't see them being that good of a team, maybe next season? The 5 point per game differential isn't what worries me, it's the 20 points per game scoring average that is going to lead to loses against better teams. -
Good teams/Bad teams and Points
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Better maybe was a bad choice of words. I'll try to make it clearer. If they had a differential of around 60, there's a much better chance they will continue to win games. What's ridiculous to me is if you think the Bills can continue winning say go 11-5 for the seaosn averaging 20 points a game. I also think it's kind of ridiculous for someone to actually post something as stupid as " What makes you or anyone else "feel better" is all psychological and has nothing to do with whether or not the Bills are a good team." I really think most people do understand that their personal feeling won't influence whether the Bills win or not! -
Good teams/Bad teams and Points
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But the counter to this is the Bills (and NE) have both played a very easy schedule so should be scoring more points and maybe even a larger differential than they are in these games. When playing better teams they will need to score more points to win. If they had a differential of around 60, I'd feel much better. Not saying the team is terrible, but do agree with some of the headlines that state the Bills are the worst 5-1 team. -
No certainly not, but why take any job if you don't think it's a good fit. And if you didn't believe in Darnold, then regardless of anything else, it's not a good fit. If he bombs with the Jets, that's two black marks on his resume, and pretty bad ones too. The likelihood of him getting a third chance is much less. He could have instead sat out this year, and maybe would have got a better offer next year or the year after.

Tim Graham interview with Brandon Beane
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agree with the first two as doesn't really weaken the Bills much. Trading Wallace would make the team much weaker now, who and how do you replace him for the remainder of the year. Certainly if they picked up a top CB to replace him, great but otherwise would not let him go. Agree with Foster and Kroft though. You could also add Yeldon to that list too. -
I agree no one knows, fans, coaches, players, everyone, has all been BB or Brady. Leaving would end that speculation, but can't see him going to a place that doesn't give him a high shot at winning right away. Actually one article I read suggested Buffalo as a landing spot for that reason, could win right away and best chance to stick it to BB. Really doubt that would ever happen though. The one thing I'd be very surprised to see him do is go someplace because they offered the most money, I think he more cares about winning. If he needs more money he can always just ask Giesle to increase his allowance.
