Please take hands of Clay off the list. One of the things the list shows is that when people were saying no free agents want to play in Buffalo during the drought the reality was that no free agents wanted to play for a losing team in Buffalo. Before & after the drought players wanted to come to Buffalo to chase a Super Bowl ring. Nothing attracts free agents more than a franchise QB like Kelly, Allen & to a lesser extent Bledsoe. Remember, at the time they signed Hyde & Poyer were very much under the radar.

I've been watching the LAC closely this season. They have 2 major weaknesses: 1) Their run D is below average. You can run on them all day long. 2) Their kicker doesn't belong in the NFL. The guy has missed 4 extra points & can't be relied on. As a result their coach, Staley, is going for it on 4th down instead of kicking any FGs that are not chip shots. So far Herbert has been bailing him out, but that can't continue the whole season. Eventually his kicker is going to cost him a game or 2. Their only loss, by 3 points to the Cowboys, Vizcaino missed a 44 yard field goal at the end of the 1st half.

I'm rooting for the Chargers every game until they get their 11th win & I get to cash my futures bets on them to go over 10.5 wins. After that if they're close to the Bills for home field I'll root against them every game.

So who is it going to be this week? Jerry Hughes wants to show these youngsters he's still got it.

Are Passer Rating and QBR Obsolete?

Any rating that says Rob Johnson was a better Bills QB than Jim Kelly was always worthless. -

I'm always against QB stats. Here's another one you can toss-Completion %. It's one of the things the clowns who claim Josh was bad his 1st 2 years cling to. Well look at this week's games. Josh completed 57.7% of his passes this week in spite of the fact that he played at an MVP level. Josh ranked 26th out of 30 QB in completion percentage, behind even Zach Wilson who stunk up London. Another MVP level performance, that by Justin Herbert ranked 21st this week at 60.47. Meanwhile, Jacoby Brissett, whose Dolphins got smoked in Tampa Bay was 12th at 69.23% while getting intercepted once & sacked 3 times and Mike Glennon, whose Giants got trampled on in Dallas ranked 16th at 64% while throwing 2 picks. -
3 Yr Anniversary of “The Leap” 9/23/18
Albany,n.y. replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in The Stadium Wall
Well, there he goes again! -
It's offensive to the teams the Bills are whupping because when they play the Bills in Buffalo, they keep getting reminded that they're getting a beatdown every time the song is played after the Bills score. Let's keep offending the opponents all the way through the Super Bowl.

Whatever Schneider did or didn't do has nothing to do with the fact that the team was named by a white supremacist whose intentions can only be viewed as sinister based on his racist life. Knowing the founder's history of hatred, Schneider should have folded earlier. Since the team was named by a bigot who in today's world would be driven out of ther league just like Sterling was forced to leave the NBA, the original intent has to be questioned. A general rule is err on the side of caution. That's what was done in the case of removing a name created by a known racist.
-
Dan Schneider didn't come up with the name & the facts are he is the owner who REMOVED the name from the team. So your assertion that someone is blaming the guy for the name who removed the team name, as well as removing the original owner from the Ring of Fame and website, is totally illogical.

Considering that the original owner & founder of the team was a flaming racist, I doubt he named them to honor anyone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Preston_Marshall As a result of a "gentlemen's agreement" promoted by Marshall, NFL teams did not sign black players until 1946, when two teams broke the agreement. Marshall refused to do so, claiming that integrating the team would cause the team to lose fans in the Southern United States and his team was at the time the southernmost team in the NFL.[15][16] He said that "We'll start signing Negroes when the Harlem Globetrotters start signing whites."[5] His refusal to integrate was routinely mocked by Shirley Povich, a columnist for The Washington Post, who called him "one of pro football’s greatest innovators, and its leading bigot."[17] Marshall unsuccessfully sued Povich for $200,000 after a critical article.[18] Marshall downplayed the issue of integration, saying "I am surprised that with the world on the brink of another war they are worried about whether or not a ***** is going to play for the Redskins" and doubted that "the government had the right to tell the showman how to cast the play." Marshall had a long-running feud with Redskins shareholder Harry Wismer, who favored integration.[5] In 1962, United States Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall and Attorney General of the United States Robert F. Kennedy issued an ultimatum: unless Marshall signed a black player, the government would revoke the Redskins' 30-year lease on D.C. Stadium (later known as RFK Memorial Stadium), which had been paid for by government money and was owned by the city government. [19] Marshall selected Ernie Davis, Syracuse University's All-American running back, as his top draft choice in the 1962 NFL Draft. However, Davis refused to play for the team, and was traded to the Cleveland Browns for All-Pro Bobby Mitchell, who became the first African American to play a game for the Redskins.[20] Marshall became an enthusiastic supporter of Mitchell.[3] The Redskins only had three winning seasons in the 23 years between the 1946 integration of the NFL and Marshall's death in 1969.[18][5] On a television show, Oscar Levant asked Marshall if he was anti-Semitic, to which he responded: "Oh no, I love Jews, especially when they're customers."[5] In June 2020, a statue of Marshall was removed from the grounds of RFK Stadium after it was defaced and vandalized following the George Floyd protests.[21] The same month, Marshall's name was also removed from the team's Ring of Fame at FedExField, [13] with the team also deleting all references to him on their website and removing his name from the history wall at the team’s training facility in Ashburn, Virginia.

The list is all top 25 rookies rated by the writer, it is not odds of being named Defensive Rookie of the Year as the top rated player is a Center.

A few Thoughts about the Chiefs Game, in no particular order
Albany,n.y. replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
That seems to be a common take from people who only look at his stats his 1st 2 seasons & weren't watching him play. Cowherd has said the same nonsense in the past. They think they're praising his improvement but i reality, they're showing their own ignorance. Yesterday someone posted a SI column by a guy who said Josh was approaching being a bust after 2 seasons. I went nuts on the thread because there was nothing after season 2 to think Josh was a bust. -

Clowns like this Nick & the other one will probably look at Josh's sub 60% completion rate today & say he's no good. What Josh did tonight was the equivalent of an NBA player shooting 3 pointers the whole game. The yards per catch was phenominal. -

What a hack this so called columnist is. He relies on stupid stats and I'd bet he never saw Josh play his 2nd season because it was pretty obvious to those of us who watch him every week Josh was entrenched as the Bills QB. -
Staley believes that in most games he has the best player on the field in Justin Herbert & he's going to put the ball in his hands & take his chances, because he believes with Herbert his chances are pretty, pretty, good.

What they thought in 2017 of McD hire
Albany,n.y. replied to Ed_Formerly_of_Roch's topic in The Stadium Wall
At the time my thoughts were anyone but Anthony Lynn. The last thing I wanted was a branch off the Rex Ryan coaching tree.
