How do you all feel about Mel Kiper

Yes, he is missed.... -

How do you all feel about Mel Kiper
Spiderweb replied to PSU_Mouse's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Is it his hair or that here's a guy making one heck of a living doing what he loves that gives the naysayers that green color? Ok, let's bash his "can't miss" failures, or his underestimating of some others. Why not? After all he is the only person on the planet who's ever been wrong about a players talents and fit in the NFL. Dag, every team in the NFL, going back long before Kiper, has drafts that are litered with absolute failures, bad choices, near misses, and the occasional surprise. Ladies and gentlemen, the draft is a crap shoot. At best you roll the dice on those who you feel has the best odds. Irritating delivery and/or tone of his voice aside, he's as good as there is out there. Yet, in true Bills fan fashion, he gets more than just a mixed bag regarding giving him his due. My my, the color green suits so many here................ -
Is Cover 2 the end of Milloy?
Spiderweb replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good point (Lynch). As the Bills run defense was bad this year, Milloy was used more in run support so his cover skills usually were lost (good or bad) with him up near or at the line of scrimmage. -
I've only taken the Monday after the SB off once previously. However, I've been off from work since Dec 22 to Jan 03 on vacation, and then had rotator cuff surgery Jan 4. I haven't been to work in approx a month and a half and I'm now targeted to return Feb 20 (just saw the surgeon again today). A little pain medicine and a bunch of brewskis ought to have me going great guns by 10:00 PM Sunday night! Sadly, I wish I cared more about who wins. I guess I'd prefer Seattle over the chin if I had to pick one. It will all depend on well Seattle does aginst Pitts "D".

Except in West Virgina, Tenneessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, NC & SC. In those states, "Teeth" is both pural and singular.

Even though he has a "Heart of Gold", it seems "Southern Man" doesn't want him, and after four dead in "Ohio", he's not likely to be a hit here either. I suspect whoever drafts him, will be left "Helpless". Despite fans screaming, "Long may You Run", they'll soon realize he's no QB. That's "Rockin in the Free World" folks.

"blown anyway...." must have been a tad too subtle...

pro football weekly- MARV LOVES CUTLER
Spiderweb replied to bird's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe Marv is practicing the fine art of "smoke screening"....with the intention of trading down to gain extra picks.... -
Bates Declining Bills DC Job Offer!!
Spiderweb replied to D' men's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why are we still discussing the Haslett for HC or DC? Doesn't anyone recall his comments ('roids) in which he insinuated that two of the Bills most liked players (Hull and Hansen) were indirectly referenced as users? I would not be surprised if Ralph and now Marv do.... Haslett - crazy player who once kicked (albeit rather poorly) Terry Bradshaw in the head...........let it go............. -
Talk coordinators all you want
Spiderweb replied to Like A Mofo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sam Adams a bit too slow? For his size, his initial burst is amazingly quick. What I don't see is Sam being willing to give him self up and tie up multiple blockers, which is required by a nose tackle in a 3-4. Also, when watching Sam, as big as he is, double teams generally neutralize him fairly well. The Bills do not currently have the proper personnel (DL's) to run a decent 3-4. Every time this subject comes up, it always ends with the same conclusion. It's starting to get old. -
Democrats a big recipient of Abrahamoff money
Spiderweb replied to VABills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
In so much as I agree in return, if decorum means to replicate the manner of DeLay, Lott, etc., then we're all missing the point. If shrills were to be counted, I'd agree that the Dems have the current edge, but isn't that always the case as it applies to the minority party? History clearly states it is. The meanness and the attacks of one's personal character has never been just a single parties tendency. They both play the game and it drives good people away, both in terms of who runs for office, and with regard to voter turnout. I'll alway maintain that right or left extremes, or even heavily leaning toward one or the other, is a negative that we as a country must avoid, even if we seem incapable of doing so now. Moderate, inclusive, thoughtful, pragmatic action, and with a vision for the future would better serve this nation. We also must get by the immediate gratification syndrome. Sometimes the best solutions or agendas take time to reach fulfillment. Discussing politics, in general, usually raises my blood pressure and rarely serves any real effect or change on even individuals, let alone our greater society. Yet, I perservere. I believe strongly as long as the current state of politics in the USA remains, meaning that as long as our elected officials spend far more time on gaining and maintaining their power, rather than on the real business of America, we're going to continue our downward slide as it pertains to economics, health care, our standard of living, etc. Nothing will go unscathed. This board alone only furthers my point with the name calling, ridiculous clinging to beliefs in definace of all logic and fact, the spinning, etc. Again, neither side here escapes from this and this will continue to be the roadblock that prevents us from properly addressing the real issues of the day. -
The Assassination of the Character of Jack Murtha
Spiderweb replied to Mickey's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Was he attacked on his service (Dole)? If not, you have no point. He was a doddering old man when he was running. He also had one of the longer Political careers based on doing next to nothing. And that is different than our current President in what way? His rep as a party boy, drinker, alleged coke user, and womanizer seems to have even one-upped old slick Willie. His "military" service (Guard/Reserves) record is spotty at it's absolute best, and was little more than draft dodging itself to begin with. That's how the privileged legally escaped real military service. Oh I forgot, GW was born again.......right. -

Sadly, there exists a Howard Dean. As much as I dislike the direction we taken under the current administration, the opposition must do better than put up a shmoe like him to be their dissenting voice...... -
Back in 1983, when Fergie had probably his best day as a Bill QB and threw for 419 yards in a shoot out win against the Dolphins, the opposing QB was a kid named Marino, who threw for over 300 yards IIRC. Marino, played in 11 games as a rookie, threw for approx 2200 yards, 20-TDS and only 6 -INTS. By the way, he completed over 58% of his passes. In only his second year, he threw for over 5000 yards, and 48-TDs As much as I disliked Marino, he came ready to play from day one......

Silent Thread for Jerry Gray....
Spiderweb replied to In space no one can hear's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Adios Ryan? How a bout Adios Mr. Chris Kelsay? He did far less than Ryan Denney, with more snaps, and can't play special teams (Denney can). I'll take Denney over Kelsay any day. There, I feel better..... -
ESPN news is reporting that Jerry Gray is
Spiderweb replied to D' men's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I guess he just ran out of "Steam"...... -
So glad you do not miss Ruben Brown. Although that's more than a bit strange in that he is light years better than Villerial and Anderson, and he has been durable too. In fact, I watched Ruben a bit in Chicago's playoff game and he can still run block very well. His pass protection remains adequate too. Yeah, I don't miss Ruben either. We've got Villerial and Anderson....NOT!!!!

Count Riemersma as one of many who was VERY bitter
Spiderweb replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Actually, it was that TD wanted JR to take a cut, and JR refused. That was the end of JR in Buffalo at the end of the year. In this case, TD was correct. JR may have been a nice guy and di on occasion make some nice grabs, but he also dropped more than his fair share the last couple years in Buffalo, and did zip when he left. I don't recall Pittsburgh giving him all that much either. It certainly was not a big signing. -
Actually, Big Ted, I believe, can still give a defense some valuable snaps, if not for any other reason than he is huge and takes up tremendous space, and multiple blockers. If he could be signed reasonably cheap, and whether Oakland will be able to cut him, contract considerations and all. We'll see what happens. Nice to hear he'd like to come back though.

Actually, the board seemed more in favor for JP than Holcomb, at least that s how I saw it. Many thought Holcomb did give us a better chance to win right now, but majority of those also agreed he's not the answer for the Bills at QB. JP lost valuable playing time the last 3 games while TD & MM were frantically trying to save their "butts".

Actually, he will be 38 in April.

Ah, sound advice. Kill Marv?
