The Buffalo Bills - a stable and well-run organization?
Albany,n.y. replied to WideNine's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The guy was a one man wrecking crew to the special teams, bad punts & bad holds on kicks. The good news is Cory & Corey will be the 2 punters in camp next summer and Darr will be able to crawl back under the rock he came from. -
Who Are You Rooting for the Rest of the Way?

Colts, because I want Frank Reich to win one before the Bills take over the AFC. -
Why take a knee with over a minute left?
Albany,n.y. replied to Rebel101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If Josh Allen was a 5 year vet, he would have been out of the game by the middle of the 4th quarter. When Hoyer replaced Brady last week did that mean Belichick lost his killer instinct? -
Yeah the SF 49ers have had a real tough time finding coaches. In 2015 Jim Tomsula was 1 & done as was his successor in 2016 Chip Kelly. Kyle Shanahan went there without fear. This isn't the 1st time the 49ers had multiple coaching changes in back to back years. From 1976-1978 they went through 4 coaches. Monte Clark went 1 & done in 1976, Ken Meyer went 1 & done in 1977, then in 1978 they outdid themselves, firing 1st year head coach Pete McCulley after 9 games, then firing his successor Fred O'Connor after the season where he coached the last 7 games. Fortunately, Bill Walsh was not afraid to coach the 49ers in 1979 , lasting 10 seasons and finally providing some stability. The graveyard of coaches, Cleveland hasn't had a coach make it through 3 straight seasons in a decade, including one & done Rob Chudzinski in 2013, yet they still get coaches who want to coach there and with QB Baker Mayfield, have one of the most coveted of the coaching openings this year.

Quenton Nelson - Indy OG ...#6 overall was worth it
Albany,n.y. replied to LabattBlue's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not only did Indy get the player they wanted, but they got 3 extra 2nd rounders from the Jets. They got picks 37 & 49 in 2018 & the Jets #2 this year which will be in the mid 30s of the entire draft to move down 3 slots. Anyone criticizing the Bills for trading up to pick 7 (and getting pick 255 which didn't work out) by moving from 21 giving up Cordy Glenn to get to 12 & then trading picks 12, 53 and 56 should realize that the Bills made a pretty good deal. Looking at the trade up from 12, the Bills moved 5 spots & gave up 2 lower 2nd round picks. The Jets gave up a lot more for Darnold than the Bills gave up for Allen & at this point the 2 are pretty equal. -
Jets O-Line remove the wheels to Darnolds car

Bills will be giving most of our O-line 1 way tickets out of Buffalo. -
Tonight is the Raiders last game in Oakland
Albany,n.y. replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Parking in Downtown Berkeley sucks. Otherwise, it makes a lot of sense. They get out of Oakland but give the fans one more year. -

I feel a little sad since I visit there every year & will never see a Raiders game in Oakland again. Too bad they ran the team into the ground their last season there. The worst part is nobody knows where they'll play next year. It will either be a year in San Antonio or they'll play in the 40,000 seat Sam Boyd stadium in Las Vegas for a year.

They most likely won't have a home playoff game if they lose the division. The NFL's worst nightmare is the Chargers getting home field throughout the playoffs with the prospect of the conference championship game played with 28,000 fans in the stands.

The 2015 Bills would have broke the drought if...
Albany,n.y. replied to BringBackOrton's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bills finished 8-8. There were 2 teams with 10 wins and 1 team with 11 that vied for the 2 wild card spots. EJ started the Bengals & Jags games, both losses. Josh Johnson signed the week of the Bengals game and would have had only a few days with team. No coach would have started Johnson over EJ the 1st week Johnson arrived. The OP's logic indicates he doesn't know how the 2015 season progressed. I didn't go through the 2015 tie breakers but even if the Bills won both of EJs starts, my guess is they wouldn't have made the playoffs anyway. -

Tyrod was the QB in 2015. What are you trying to say? Do you think Johnson holds a clipboard better than EJ? -
John Harbaugh Staying With the Ravens
Albany,n.y. replied to Rico's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If they release him they don't pay his salary since none of it is guaranteed. Released after the season results in the $16 million left of the amortized signing bonus-that $16 million is the dead cap hit. -
John Harbaugh Staying With the Ravens
Albany,n.y. replied to Rico's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's "only" a $16 million cap hit if he's released. They would save $10.5 million by releasing him. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/joe-flacco-4000/ -
John Harbaugh Staying With the Ravens
Albany,n.y. replied to Rico's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Continuity for a young QB. Nothing messes with a young QB's development more than changing coaches and systems. That's the main reason that Cleveland will probably keep Gregg or at least his OC. Who knows what the Jets are thinking, but they would have been better off firing Bowles before they drafted Darnold. The people who wanted McDermott and/or Daboll gone are just nuts. -
I think Jacksonville should be able to get their pick of the best veteran QBs available from Flacco, Foles, Tyrod etc or they might swing a trade for Carr, since the Raiders are intent on setting the record for most 1st round picks in 1 draft. Also the Jags could sign one of the vets as a bridge & draft a QB. Jacksonville is hardly a hot mess at QB that will last for years. The leader of that pack is the NYG who will keep Manning another year unless he decides to hang them up and will try to find their next QB from a mid round pick. They might go the next decade or more trying to replace Manning since they chose Barkley over any of last year's QBs except Mayfield. Other teams that could be in for a long wait for their next decent QB include our 2 archenemies Miami & NE as well as years of mediocrity in Cincinnati, Denver, Washington, and Tampa Bay.

Where does everyone stand on this lost season?
Albany,n.y. replied to Dadonkadonk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is the opposite of a lost season, it's a found season. We found our future for the 1st time since Jim Kelly came here in 1986. We have what will probably turn into the greatest rookie class in team history. Not only did we have a great draft but we were able to find starters among the undrafted free agents. Take a look at what other teams have spent to get their QB. We managed to move up from 21 to 7 to draft Josh Allen and didn't have to give up another #1 or a future pick in another draft. The final price was pick 21, Glenn-an overpriced injury prone T, and 2 2nds in the 2nd half of the 2nd round, one of them we stole from the Rams for 1 year of Watkins. When you look at what other teams gave up to move up to get their QBs, Beane got away cheap: Look up what the Jets gave to move up from 6 to 3, what Chi gave to move up from 3 to 2 , What KC gave us to move from 27 to 10 for Mahomes, what Houston gave up to go from 25 to 12, what LAR gave up to go from 15 to 1 and Philadelphia from 13 to 2. All gave up picks in future years. I trust McBeane to win us a future Super Bowl because they have the foresight not to keep spinning their wheels by doing things like paying $16 million for a season of the ultimate wheel spinner, Tyrod Taylor. Sure they could have continued having a final playoff qualifier that would be 1 and done in the playoffs, but they envision bigger things. That is shown by the 2018 season-THE FOUND SEASON. -

2018 QB Class Future Projections
Albany,n.y. replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The we there I was referring to was the team, not we the fans. I think any guy team management didn't want we as fans will hope our guy is better than & are rooting for management's decision to have been the right one. -
2018 QB Class Future Projections

I wouldn't be so quick to write off Rosen. Let's see him next season before reaching any conclusions. I think it's natural for Bills fans to want to see the guy we didn't want fail, but at this point rumors of his career death are greatly exaggerated. -

Peterman may get another shot at beating out A.J. McCarron. I still think the criticism of the Bills for sending AJ to the Raiders after he played himself off the team in preseason was always unjustified. The fact that Beane got a 5th rounder for a guy who was worse than Peterman was pretty impressive.
