GMFB: Are the Bills the best team in NY?
Albany,n.y. replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If we follow your logic, the Buffalo Bills don't play in Buffalo. It's been true ever since they moved from the Rockpile to OP. The Giants & Jets stadium in closer to NYC than Orchard Park is to Buffalo. -
Jerry should fire the GM who put this team together? This just in: They're not that talented.

Who is your favorite current Buffalo Bill and why?
Albany,n.y. replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The whole point of being a fan is that you don't have to act like an adult. It's a release from the daily drudge of the real world. A fan gets to dream the dream and forget about things for 3 hours on Sundays. Throw any kids off your lawn today? -

Albany,n.y. replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Josh Allen he gets better when the game is on the line. It was said of the Super Bowl era Bills they hated to lose. I feel Josh Allen hates to lose even more than they did & won't screw around Super Bowl week when the Bills are in the game (the sooner the better) PS: Only player jersey I ever shelled out the $ to buy since I figure he'll be around a long time. -
McDermott on scouting Lamar Pre Draft
Albany,n.y. replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It couldn't have happened. Cleveland was only taking 1 QB, Barkley was going somewhere in the top five. That leaves a maximum of 3 QBs taken in the top Four. So Denver was either going to trade pick 5 to us or take Chubb. Indy was sold on Nelson, that's why they traded with the Jets and no or lower. So any way you shuffle the QBs 4 QBs taken before the Bills pick of trade up couldn't happen. What would have happened if Allen, Mayfield and Darnold went before 5 is they wouldn't have traded up. Then with either 12 or 22 they're stuck with Rudolph since Arizona makes the Rosen trade. If that had happened we would be in the market for a QB this offseason. Or they might have gone with Peterman in 2018 and had the #1 pick in 2019. -
I only had to go out once this entire year to watch the Bills-the Bengals game. I missed the Tennessee game entirely because I went to the Minnesota/Giants game in NJ & I went to the Eagles game in Buffalo, planning the game because it wasn't on TV in Albany. All other games were on TV, although I went to both games in NJ vs the Jets & Giants. For Thanksgiving I secured a spot at the table where I could see the TV. We were eating dinner around 3:30-4:00 PST, which put the game in the 2nd half.

Top 4 passing QB - No winning records
Albany,n.y. replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The difference between a really good QB & a really bad one is about 10 games. Just look at the 49ers before Garoppolo, with Garoppolo, then without him last year & now with him this year. Look at Indy with Manning, the year he was out & then Luck's rookie year. -
With the flexing of the Pittsburgh game the final tally in Albany is that we got 13 of the 16 games on TV (as long as one has NFL Network). Every game in November & December ended (or will end) up on TV at home without having to leave the house to see the Bills. Most TV games since the 1990s. We even had 2 games chosen over the Jets this year.

My Theory on why Bills have a lack of Primetime Games.
Albany,n.y. replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They got 1 game. We had Thanksgiving & week 16 national game on NFL network. The reason is we won 6 games last year & Vegas had us projected to be under .500 this year. The majority of network people looked at predictions that the Bills would be no good. In addition, a lot of our games featured lousy opponents. Nobody was about to put games like Bills/Miami or Cincinnati on in primetime. -
I wouldn't go that far. People in Baltimore & NY/NJ are saying the same thing. This is starting to look like the class of 1983 which produced 3 HOF QBs. Denver, Buffalo & Miami were all satisfied with their QBs and each fit his team the best. Right now Allen, Jackson, and Darnold are playing at a high level, getting better as the season goes on. The Ravens, Jets & Bills wouldn't trade their QB for anyone else in the class. Even Mayfield may be added to this group. The only 1st round QB looking like a bust is Rosen who Arizona dumped after 1 season and now he can't get on the field with 2 win Miami. It could also be compared with 2004 where E. Manning, Rivers & Roethlisberger were chosen & the Rosen of that class was our own JP Losman.

The Albany Empire will go down as the final Arenaball champion. I used to go to the Albany Firebirds games years ago during the Bills AFC dominance in the 1990s and joke that the last game I had been at was the Super Bowl & how much a drop-off it was going from the Super Bowl to an Arena game a few months apart. I never went to any Empire games in the 2 years they were here.

Another reason Schopp doesn't understand how valuable Josh Allen is to the team. His play on the field doesn't translate well to statistics. The best way to properly evaluate him is to watch him play & never look at his stats. That's one reason why the Bills though so highly of him over the other Josh.

Who cares about colors, I want Josh Allen & the rest of the Bills wearing the uniform of the game's winning team.

I hate to say it, but Seattle should be up there instead of the Bills. If the Bills win their next 2, then we can revisit if they're better than Seattle but as of today, they must be ranked below Seattle. Seattle already beat his #1 team and has beaten 2 of the 3 teams the Bills lost to and didn't play the 3rd.

NFL TV Schedule and Maps: Week 13, 2019
Albany,n.y. replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I love it. If I was home my 1:00 game choices would be Bengals/Jets & Packers/Giants. Instead I'm getting Browns/Steelers & 49ers/Ravens. I'll be switching back & forth between the 2 games. -
Here's an example where not all analytics are created equal. Big difference if it's 4th & inches in enemy territory between having Allen or Barkley in at QB. Allen is almost automatic, not so with a smaller QB or someone like Rob Johnson who may get the 1st down & at the same time go down with a season ending injury.

Is Jason Garrett coaching for his job Thursday?
Albany,n.y. replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd love to see the Bills destroy the Cowboys & have the camera keep focusing on Jerry getting all mad & embarrassed. Lets get up 35-0 at halftime & see if Jerry is the head coach in the 2nd half. Justice would be Bills 52 Cowboys 17. -
How is your family going to handle Thanksgiving?

What a Freudian slip! Do you know something about Jones bribing the refs? -
How is your family going to handle Thanksgiving?
Albany,n.y. replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm in California & my family rotates the houses. We usually eat around 2-3 PM. I found out yesterday that while we're going to be eating during the game, this year's house will be one that the TV is visible from the dinner table & they already know to seat me where I can watch the game during Thanksgiving dinner. -
Boycott another *pats Super Bowl
Albany,n.y. replied to Estelle Getty's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'll do my part-I've been to 6 Super Bowls, the Bills 4 XXV through XXVIII and XLVIII in NJ and 50 in SF (actually Santa Clara). I vow never to go to another Super Bowl until the Bills make it back there. So that means my boycott will end next year in Tampa.Bay, the same city I saw my 1st SB. -
Former Bills Coach Hank Bullough Passes at 85
Albany,n.y. replied to Purplebulldog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Joe DeLamiellure loved Hank. Hank was invited by Joe's to his Hall of Fame ceremony. Here's what he said about Hank at Michigan State: "A couple of coaches out here, I know Hank Bullough is here from Canton"; As a Bill: "Hank Bullough coached me. I always said that if Hank got Jim Kelly as a quarterback, he would still be coaching maybe. He was a good coach, just had some trouble at quarterback."
