Over the last 3 years SF and Buffalo have averaged between 61-62 offensive plays per game. (https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/plays-per-game/) assuming Greg Roman is going to be pretty conservative with his play calling lets guess 60 plays and run heavy 55% runs leaving him with 27 pass plays if Tyrod plays 65% completion rate that gives him 17 or 18 completions... who gets the targets and catches? 10 targets/6 receptions for Sammy 5 targets/3 receptions for Woods 3 targets/2 receptions for Harvin 3 targets/2 receptions for Clay 6 targets/5 receptions for RBS this would make me happy

anyone know of any pay for private parking lots so we can avoid the buses and satellite lots?

man wouldn't it be great if there was some sort of comparison to the greg roman power sweep or crash sweep in this video so we could see what the difference is between his brand of power running and say doug marrone's or chan's? is a sweep a sweep or is one different than another? "zone" blocking seems like such a vanilla term these days like saying Rex runs a 3-4.

what are you looking at DWAN!

TJ SIGNS

after reading this article about Oline age and experience I went through to see how the Bills line measures up. My link assuming glenn pans out at LT (which is a big if) we have a combined age of 130 (and if Pears the oldest on the line at 30 eventually gets replaced by Hariston or Sanders the line gets 7-8 years younger) according to the article if the average number of of starts together gets above 50 for any given Oline they are almost always an elite line. this year they will have an average starts (with the bills) of :22 that means that in only two years with a total age of 140 the bills line (if still together) will have an average of 50 starts and be 10 years younger than the point at which an oline declines because of age. if you think about the DLine in two years still averaging under 30 yrs old and over 32 games experience shared and the secondary in two years way under 30 yrs old and way over 32 games experience shared Buddy has done his job for sure He has built a team that can plug in draft talent at any position and have a veteran core that can support that raw talent and be competitive (talent wise) for years to come

Good looking draft/53 can't be unhappy about the draft with these picks, the only thing that would be better is if there are some shenanigans in the top 9 and a true blue chipper drops to us 10 is a rough slot, it looks like the value of players available does not match the value of the 10th pick. but that leads to a more important issue that the bills have not faced in a long long time... the bills have obvious holes that need to be addressed in this draft, AND they have obvious depth that needs to be trimmed to get down to 53 when was the last time that the bills had such obvious depth along the DL and in the offensive backfield, while having solid starters across the board in every other starting position. in reality, to field a team that is better on paper than last years starting 53 (before injuries) we really only need a LT that is as good as D. Bell. After that I would say a #2 WR would be nice, an OLB would be nice and after that the bills are drafting for depth and ST. After reading more and more of these posts I think that the consensus is that Nix and Buddy have done a great job in the 2 years they have had. They have built a team that can compete on a yearly basis that has manageable turnover and a core of players that can be retained for years to come. Now if they could just win a few games and make it to the playoffs....

since 2004 4 of the bills draft picks are totally out of football (this includes kevin everett), 3 are currently free agents (were on an active roster last year) and 8 play for other teams, of all of these players JP Losman was the only one that was picked before the 4th round (excluding everett who was lost for obvious reasons) So out of 38 players that were drafted in the last 5 years 23 of those players still play for the Bills that is about a 60% retention for the last 5 years. to put this in context, NE has less than 50% retention, SD has the same as us, Pittsburgh has 51%, NYG have 71% MIA has 46%, KC has 46% now don't get me wrong, we have fielded some pretty crappy teams in the last 5 years but to say that it is because we have bad drafts or bad retention of players would be a mistake.

after reading some of these sky are falling threads from the last two days I just cant believe that no one has mentioned that the HOF game looked just like a scrimmage and NOT like a regular season game at all. It looked to me as if the coaching staff was calling plays that would put the team into situations that they had worked on in practice. for example: 4th and short near the goal line short range field goal medium range field goal long range field goal new rules on kickoffs 4 min defense 2 min offense "strike zone" offense (run heavy) "strike zone" offense (pass heavy) alright I agree strike zone is the lamest term ever BUT they obviously were not playing to win they were working on stuff that they had been practicing all week. does this mean the team has no balls? or does it mean that they have a lot of young/new players that need some time and practice learning a new system? or maybe I'm wrong 8-8

nice contribution

If the pick has been bracketed by two signed picks, really what is the issue? does Byrd have anything to gain by holding out for an extra 10 grand in signing bonus? there is so little wiggle room when the pick ahead and behind have signed, what is the deal? I cannot believe that the FO takes Sundays off, I'm sure even god had a couple little things to take care of on his 7th day

http://www.macsfootballblog.com/2009/04/20...ing-status.html so picks 41 and 43 have signed.... where is Byrd? what could take so long after the surrounding picks have signed? picks 52 and 53 have signed and we NEED our two O Line picks in camp real bad... how hard is it to get Levitre signed? is the FO taking the weekend off? maybe they called in sick? these guys should be in camp today.... someones being lazy

It turns out he had a fund raiser in NYC last night... when are the pick gonna start getting signed?
