The Bills won, but that was a bad reversal on Evans
Albany,n.y. replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was at the game & I was listening to the Jets radio broadcast. The Jets announcers were adamant that it was a catch & the play would not be overturned. When I watched it on the scoreboard, I thought it was a very close call because the ball was still moving a bit. I told one of the Jets fans I went to the game with "At least your announcers aren't homers" -
AP incorrect: Bills not 7th winningest
Albany,n.y. replied to John Gianelli's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I figured it out, the Bills would become the 7th ORIGINAL AFL team to get 350 wins. What that means is out of the 8 original AFL teams, only the Jets have a worse record than the Bills. -
Fitz, maybe, but anyone who thinks Hamdan can start & win in the NFL is nuts. The only reason he's here is because he's buddies with Edwards & acts like another coach on the sidelines. Once Edwards goes, Hamdan is gone too.

AP incorrect: Bills not 7th winningest
Albany,n.y. replied to John Gianelli's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I looked up the Bills record in the Media Guide. On page 212 they have the all time head coaching records and they add up to 348-384-8. Now add in the 1-4 & it is now 349-388-8. From the Summary of coaching records of other teams from the NFL Record and Fact Book 2009, plus this year's records,here are AFL teams with over 350 wins, there's 7 already. Add in the old NFL teams and you have a ton more, especially considering all those pre-1960 games the NFL teams played. Broncos 408 Chiefs 389 Dolphins 402 Patriots 401 Raiders 431 Chargers 374 Titans 377 -
The Bills Plan for Remaining In Buffalo
Albany,n.y. replied to Mr. WEO's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
His daughter Christy Wilson Hofmann is inheriting the team, not Mary Wilson. It's been well known for years that Ralph has willed the team to his daughters, and with the death of Linda Bogdan, that makes Christy Wilson Hofmann the sole owner and subject to estate taxes. -
CALLING IT NOW: ANOTHER AVERAGE BILLS SEASON (EVER, WOW)
Albany,n.y. replied to murra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
2-3 wins at best. We have no NFL caliber offensive tackles on the active roster-NONE! Next year none of these bums, with the possible exception of Bell in a backup role (because the other guys are worse) will be on the Bills & I doubt they'll be in the NFL. You can't win many games with no OTs. -
I'm going on a bus trip from Albany. Will any Bills fans other than me (and I presume Pinto Ken) be there on Sunday?
-
Both Henning & Gilbride have thrived elsewhere after Buffalo. It's more related to the bad, coach killing players than the bad coaches. Until this team gets a decent offensive line, it's going to keep chewing up & spitting out QBs & OCs.

I was at that stadium for a baseball game this year & it's a dump.

I'm waiting to see the replay of the day the cops come & haul off Cable in handcuffs while he's on the sidelines coaching the Raiders.

Perry Fewell - Head Coach of the Bills???
Albany,n.y. replied to tjprime's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The biggest problem is, if they fire Jauron during the season, there is not one qualified person on the Bills staff to be named interim coach. April probably had a chance before his STs blew 2 games for us. So, either Ralph names one of the current stooges interim coach, or he just keeps the head stooge until the end of the season. At this point, the season is over, with or without Dick Jauron. Good news is after the season, they can choose from one of the richest pools of available coaches & hot coordinators that there might ever be. -
Pure dumb luck. Scouting had little or nothing to do with it. He was brought in as a TE & special teamer & was cut in preseason. He tried out elsewhere, at least the Giants, and wasn't signed. Fortunately for the Bills he didn't get picked up by someone else when he was a free agent & ended up on the practice squad. After being activated he mostly saw action on special teams and a little TE. He wasn't even tried at OT in a game his 1st year. McNally, a coach, not a scout, was the biggest reason he turned out to be a good LT.

The easiest way is to calm down. Now I know that's easier said than done, but life is a lot simpler when you're not always on edge. It may just be you need time to get older and learn from growing pains. Sometimes you can really get kicked around. When I was in my 20s I got fired, had to go home & live in my parents' basement. I was miserable for about a year until I finally sucked it up & moved on. The easiest thing to remember is that if the situation isn't life or death, the situation is going to change, hopefully for the better. Good luck, time is on your side.

It's not the coaching that kills QBs it's the scouting. The Bills scouts can't find offensive linemen, pro or college & the same thing can be said about their choices at QB. Put mediocre talent at QB behind bad offensive linemen & you will get a parade of failures at 5-6 positions. If you start with a piece of clay you can mold it and turn it into something nice, but if you start with a piece of excrement you won't be able to do that. Our scouts aren't getting us any clay.

I really hope you're joking. If not, you need some serious help getting over your love for JP. He's not a decent QB unless you send him to the minors and even then he's mediocre at best. Just look at what Bollinger is doing in that league & he's hardly a guy who will thrive if he makes it back to the NFL. There is one way JP will thrive in the NFL-get a backup job for one of the Mannings-then you never have to play in a meaningful spot because the Mannings take all the meaningful snaps.

What's wrong with the good coaching tonight. Fassel & JP better get handcuffed together through the halftime, because he's going to need a lot of "good coaching" in the 2nd half after that donut he put up in the 1st half. 3 sacks because he held the ball too long, gets a free play & uses it to throw a free pick 6 that gets called back. Meanwhile, instead of that good coaching from Fassel, JP should go over to the other side & get some of that Florida good coaching because Brooks Bollinger looks likes the 2nd coming of Joe Montana, while JP looks like the second coming of... JP PS: It was a lot easier last week when JP was starting just about every drive on the 40 yard line or better. Put him in his own red zone & JP reverts to his uncoachable self. Good coaching-HA!

If Rush was buying our Bills instead of the Rams...
Albany,n.y. replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Rush would replace Scott Norwood in many peoples' minds when they hear the phrase "Wide Right" -
Gossip, being bored & roomate problems so he transfers to another college & is even more miserable with his roomates? Sorry, but HR sounds like a big baby. HR, next time transfer to a place where you can live at home & mommy & daddy can change your diaper. You're encountering your 1st look at the real world & you're having survival problems, deal with it. Do you know what happens in the office everyday-gossip & boring assignments. Also it sounds like you're the type of kid, that's right kid, who just doesn't know how to get along with people. The situation you describe reminds me a lot of my 1st semester in Fredonia. I had 3 other guys in the room with me. One was a guy from Amsterdam NY who was graduating at the end of the semester-he was the normal one. The next guy was an exchange student from Denmark who partied all the time & never went to class. The 3rd guy was from Ghana, listened to WBLK until 3 or 4 in the morning & kept everyone awake with his radio. He was also PO'd about the USA being a "white man's world". I got through the semester because I didn't become a paranoid crybaby like HR, who deep down just wants to go home to mommy. The next semester, the 1st guy graduated, the 2nd guy flunked out & was sent back to Denmark & the 3rd guy moved out to a place of his own where he could happily listen to WBLK as much as he wanted to. I ended up with one roomate in a huge room & we're still friends today, 37 years later.

Just a hunch-Turner Gill new head coach-well within Ralph's price range.
-
If we draft a QB in the 1st round, Trent, whose contract has a year to go, will be off the team. Fitzpatrick will either be 1 or 2 & the rookie will be 1 or 2. The Bills will ship Trent out for a pick, but it might not happen until September. His best friend Hamdan will compete with a scrap heap guy & probably get cut in preseason.

Coin Flip- How do the Bills NOT get the wind
Albany,n.y. replied to zow2's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We won the toss. That's about the only thing we'll be winning the rest of this season. -
Same here about the NE game, I went the last 2 years & I just couldn't go for another loss at NE. So guess what I did instead-I booked a ticket on a bus trip to the Meadowlands next week for Bills @ Jets-going with 2 Jets' fans

Since there is not one coach on this staff who is head coaching material, a coaching change now would just be an irrelevant event. These assistants are as much to blame as Jauron. Now, if this was 1986 & there was no Rooney rule, we could be calling for a Shanahan, Gruden , Cowher etc, but reality is with the Rooney rule, unless you have a Singletary on your staff you're pretty screwed if you haven't made a change by February.
-
We also lost a time out at the end of the 3rd quarter. How stupid can a coach be to bring his team to the sidelines with the clock running and the other team on the field. If Mandummy wasn't as bad as Jauron, Cleveland would have been smart enough to line up, snap the ball & run for a long TD before the Bills could have called time out.
