Potential film on Bills comedy or tragedy?
Saint Doug replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't understand the attraction for making this a film. How is this going to be even remotely interesting for people outside Buffalo? Perhaps being in "Buffalo" is just a very minor part of this film. It probably would have been more realistic if it was the Lions with the first pick. Don't they know going 6/10 every year isn't going to land the top pick? -
I can guarantee at least 3-4 QBs are taken in the top 15. These guys are just ranking prospects and assigning teams to them based on draft order, not trying to predict who will actually be taken by which team in the real draft. They do not account for reaches and they assign each position an equal importance, basically best player available.

I always knew the changing of his name to Demetress would be a bad career move.

Bills can carry over $9.8 million in unused cap space
Saint Doug replied to papazoid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have not heard the "C2C" used for some time. I think they probably went over C2C last year when they signed Williams and Anderson. That said, I haven't heard them say they were abandoning C2C either. So, it probably in Ralph's back pocket because Ralph Is Cheap. -

Saint Doug replied to papazoid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And the Bangles have $63 M. It also shows that it was very rare for a team to spend right up to the cap, so I don't expect to see an all out spending frenzy come March. -

Saint Doug replied to papazoid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But, is this "carried over" unused money going to continued to be carried over or is it just for the 2013 season? If not, if we used this money, we'd be in trouble in 2014. Plus, how did the Eagles ever get do much extra cap space. Didn't they spend anything to assemble their "dream team"? That's some good cap management apparently. -
Bills contact Fitz to Restructure
Saint Doug replied to justnzane's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think after the last 2 years, Fitz knows his place on this team. He had his chance and couldn't get it done. He better accept it. He'll be a great back-up though. I would feel much dread if our starting QB went down and Fitz had to step in. -
Bernard Pollard is signed through 2015, Rice is signed through 2017, didn't check the rest.

No talk between Bills and Byrd / Levitre
Saint Doug replied to BeastMode54's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think it's just a question if they are better than their back-ups. That's too simplified. They may be looking to upgrade in other areas and money spent on them is less money spent elsewhere. Perhaps they don't need stellar play out of those positions for the schemes they are going to run. Suppose Marrone wants to run a blocking scheme that doesn't require breaking the bank on a guard. Perhaps they will be targeting other players, such as those who have played for Pettine before. -

Saint Doug replied to BeastMode54's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would think the coaches would want to study the roster and see if our current FAs fit into their plans versus another player via draft or FA. I don't think they'll want to re-sign them just because they're current Bills. They have no loyalty to them and I don't think out FO would force players on them. -
So Ray Lewis may have taken a banned substance
Saint Doug replied to The Poojer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/12/sports/cycling/how-lance-armstrong-beat-cyclings-drug-tests.html?pagewanted=all He did not fail any conventional drug test during his time as a cycler. It took extraordinary amounts of re-testing and re-analyzing to finally find some proof that he did dope. Lance has been under the biggest microscope known to organized sports, I doubt Ray has faced the same amount of scrutiny. You would also think that if a professional athlete was going to ingest some ill-defined substance (deer antlers), one of the first things on their mind would be if it contained banned substances or could cause a failed test. -

Saint Doug replied to The Poojer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Lance never tested positive for anything either. If you're going to allow IGF-1, you'll have to allow hGH too. -
Your 2013 draft strategy if you were the Bill’s GM?
Saint Doug replied to simpleman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It would be awesome if you could reverse draft players. Like returning a product to the store to get your money back. So, in effect, could return a 1st round bust and get the pick back. There would have to be rules, of course, but it would be the ultimate way of installing parity. -
I tried it on my iPhone. Nothing happened. Maybe I need to try it on a monitor.
-
I would pay him that much. Not even think twice. Come on, folks. He got his team to the Superbowl and he didn't do it riding a top-5 defense. I hope the Ravens are stupid enough to say no. In fact, Flacco may be the dumb one for not asking for more. He would easily get his asking price on the open market.

This is sad. Buffalo (Nix) became so predictably dumb as to not take a QB when they should have been.

I thought Kyle Williams was injured?
Saint Doug replied to HarkinBanks's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Then I would give $15,000 to charity and still take of my injury. That's chump change for him. -
You mean lose a LG, who is versatile enough to play multiple OL positions, from the OL that allowed the least number of sacks in the NFL last season? The one who hasn't missed a start (which is saying a lot for our line) in the last 3 years and tweeted a side boob pick? That one? Obviously replaceable.

Bill Polian Ruined my Day!
Saint Doug replied to auburnbillsbacker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I can stomach watching Fitz choke another year if I know that our franchise QB could possibly be sitting on our bench, learning. Without that, however distant, hope, I just can't go through another wasted year. If the Bills want to draft that "elite" QB prospect in the 2014 draft (do people even know what that would entail? I don't think so), then they can do that too. -

Now that's a paradox.
