LOL Has anyone EVER won 3 in a row? Hopefully it's in December with a lot of snow. If Rodgers is out by then hopefully can find a backup QB to at least make it competitive.

What would it (realistically) take to get Alex Smith?
reddogblitz replied to NickelCity's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sorry if I mischaracterized you. The only place I saw Hotrod mentioned in your post was that he's not as good as Smith and they both don't throw to WRs. As far as the bolded, how many teams will win 2 games in playoffs this year? Maybe 3. Jacksonville, maybe NE, and the winner of Eagles vs Vikes. That's a tall order. You say you would rather suck than go with a QB like Alex or Hotrod. How do you know before the season starts you'll win 2 or not so you know wether to try to win or suck? And really you have idea if Alex or Hotrod will be on teams that do. Did you think Jeff Hostetller or Trent Dilfer or Mark Rypien or Doug Williams or Jim McMahon could before they did? It's just a difference in philosophy between us. You and many others here think if you don't win the SB, the season was a failure. Shoulda sucked for a high pick instead. As for me, I want to see the Bills win games. Going to the Ralph or watching a win on TV is way more fun than losing for a high pick. All you got out of the Colts game was snow? Our slim playoff chances rested on the game and the guys totally came together and won as a team. After the punt, our D stopped them which they were having trouble doing. Then Joe freakin' Webb III hits that pass to Thompson followed by a Shady TD due in large part to a great block by Richie. That was the day I thought, you know what, we just might make it this year. That's what playoff teams do. Win tough games down the stretch. Teams of the past 17 yeas would have figured out a way to blow that game. Sorry you had such a boring December. After the 3 game slump, we won 4 out of 6 to secure a spot. How did we "lucked in"? Luck is part of the game. The Titans got a playoff win because in large part a good play by a defender ended up bouncing into his bread basket and he took it in for a TD. Luck? A lot of people say Minnesota lucked out too. It's a funny shaped ball. It bounces oddly. The Steelers totally lucked out on the Immaculate Reception. The Steelers lucked out to win a SB because Jackie Smith dropped a TD in the EZ. The Giants lucked out because because of Wide Right. It's part of the game. You just have to be able to capitalize on it. As far as Cincy, come on man, you're smarter than that (I hope). What if Joe Webb III misses on that pass, does Dalton's still get us in? what about if we don't come back from 7 down int he 4th quarter to beat the Bucs to defend our dirt at the Ralph? Does Andy's pass still get us in? I know to you it's not a good season unless you win the SB. My theory is if you make the playoffs it's good. And yes, after 17 years of back to back to back 6-10 seasons and 4-12 seasons and back to back to back 7-9 season, yes a playoff berth at 9-7 feels really sweet. Please don't worry about me though. I'm doing just fine Go BILLS !! -
Kiper Mock Draft: Josh Allen #1
reddogblitz replied to Jamie Muellers Ghost's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Didn't he have Jake Locker as the first pick one time? Everything I've seen and read Allen's inaccurate. 56% IN COLLEGE He looks good in shorts though I guess. Heads will explode on TBD if we pick a CB first. -

We'll see. I'm not convinced they won't. He's under contract one more year and Patrick's not going anywhere. -

So he doesn't run as much. He becomes a pocket passer more like the other other 5 or 6 year older guys I mentioned. Randall Cunningham was able to make the adjustment and he ran a LOT more in his prime. When he was a missed FG from the SB, he was purely a pocket passer. And a dang good one. I saw Alex in several games this year. Doesn't look like hes slowed down any. Besides, if he does we'll dump him when he does. Other team have gotten QBs older than him and been able to win super bowls with them. I'm thinking Kurt Warner and Peyton Manning. Alex may not be as good as them, but he's pretty doggone good IMHO. We could absolutely win and and get to playoffs with him for a few years, which is all I care about. In the meantime, we keep looking. -

So he'll be 6 years younger than Brees and 7 years younger than Tommy in other words. -
I was responding to a post that said FAs NEVER come to Buffalo. Kyle helped us get our first winning season in 10 years. While TO was here, he set the record for longest TD pass in Bills franchise history. You wand the best (Mario), you gotta pay him. How much would he have taken else where since you know we over paid him? Me neither. I wish he and Coach Moron had stayed another year. We agree! I don't want Allen either. We have enough QBs with accuracy issues on the roster already.

Available FA's who might be a fit with the BIlls
reddogblitz replied to BmarvB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
At the time without the benefit of hindsight, felt EJ would be better than JP too. A QB drafted in round 1 being better than EJ is far from a lock. -

reddogblitz replied to NickelCity's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I stop reading when people say they would give a 3rd or 4th. might as well just say you don't want him. I'd like to buy a new Ford F 150 for $4,000. -

WOW This logic which is so prevelant on here of bypassing QBs we can win with and have exciting stretch runs in December and playoff games in January to instead lose and put all you eggs in one basket gambling on a draft pick blows my mind. Its like not investing 10% in your 401K every year because when you turn 60 you're going to start buying lottery tickets. This years stretch run culminating in PLAYOFFS was AMAZING!! Seems like a lot of y'all just wanna complain about that loss. It is possible to do both. Win with a vet and draft QBs. Build the team up around whoever you have so when we do find THE GUY, we can plug him in and kick it up a notch. But I'm a QB in hand guy. I'm digging this with winning thing. Its long overdue. Don't blow it betting on the come IMHO. -
Like who for example?

reddogblitz replied to NickelCity's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That was me. Nice that you feel that way A few of things. 1.you have not experienced the QB desert we have the last 17 years. Alex would be a huge improvement for us IMHO. We beat y'all this year, but Alex has made the big plays in the 2nd half to beat us several times. Didn't y'all win 10 in a row in 2016 with him and score 44 points in a playoff game where he had 378 yards 4 TDs and 0 ints? 2. Fans of a team usually sour on their QB after a few years seeing every mistake he makes longing for the kid that hasn't played because he hasn't made any blunders yet and has miles and miles of upside. That's you now. People here wanted to bench Kelly for Frank. 3. It's not totally up to Alex. KC can trade him wherever they want unless there's some no trade clause I'm Not aware of. 4. 17 mil is not big QB money and the franchise tag is available. 5. Glennon or McCown? Really? Why would we want one of those schmucks just to try to save a few Benjamins? We're trying to win. Glennon makes 15 mil and belongs to DA Bears. Would require some kind of a trade too. I'd give a second or the 1st if that's what it takes. We're far from the only team looking for a QB this year. Its the most important position. Supply and Demand. Don't cheap Charlie it IMHO. -
NFL Turning Point: The Minneapolis Miracle
reddogblitz replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
On twitter they had a name the play thing. My favorite was the Hail Milly named after the 100 year old Vikes fan and of course reversing the Roger Staubach to Drew Pearson Hail Mary in Minneapolis years ago. -
Do you like losing or something? Did you see those 2 play this year? Coach McDermott wants to win AND rebuild. I cant see him signing onto something like this . we're the defending 6th seed in 2018. The woe is Me we need a 3 year rebuilding plan days are over. I know it's a tough transition for some of us.

reddogblitz replied to NickelCity's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Colts game AND this one is why it's good to pull your head out of the stat sheet and watch a game sometime. Alex is a real QB. He can't do it by himself, but who can? Don't tell me Tommy, because if he wasn't blessed with good FG kickers and Walt Coleman, he'd be a few Lombardis lighter. -
Hear me out, sign Le'veon bell

Again, nice job. Making fun of special needs children going to school that need a little extra help is always appropriate and fun (I guess). Must make you feel real manly. Pathetic. -

reddogblitz replied to NickelCity's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd trade them their first back. QB is the most important position and has been holding us back for years and years and years. He would be an upgrade over Hotrod in regards to passing yards which everyone seems to want. Don't be cheap. We got the picks to trade. The days of 56 yards would be in our rear view mirror.
