    Damn, that makes us old ??? Honestly, that signing put Buffalo on the map and we really haven’t had a hard time attracting free agents since. 

     

    It really was the first time since the mid 90s that the entire NFL world was paying attention to Buffalo.

     

    Man, I didn't get a damn thing done at work those two days.

    Some of us old fogies still remember the Great TSW Mario Williams Watch of 2012. That thread is Two Bills Drive gold. More than 4600 replies, more than 3700 between just between March 14th and 15th. I wore off my fingerprints on my F5 key, posts were coming in faster than you could read them.

     

    You can still witness it in all its glory in the archive:

    I apologize but I don’t see a better place to ask this question: I know roads close on game days, so is there a GPS location I can shoot for that will then allow me to take a right into Hammers? We had a helluva time turning left into the lot. I’ll be coming from Williamsville. I had my wife jump out and she got Mead to stop traffic. Looks like I’m alone this year. I’m a big fan of keeping it simple. 

    Just search for "Hammer's Lot" in Google Maps.

    Do you think Allen feels relief after the Diggs trade?

    I think there was a general consensus that Buffalo's offense needed to evolve. It had to become more than just the Allen to Diggs show. I can only speculate, but it feels like the coaches wanted to get reps to other skill position players and Diggs wasn't on board with having a lesser role in the offense. I'm not sure that this means he was acting like a diva as some suggest, but I do think it is something that caused some friction. To me it just seems like a decision was made to move in a different direction. The offense all ready began doing that last year and we saw the number of reps for Diggs drop off significantly toward the end of the season.

     

    I think Diggs is still a very good WR and will do well in Houston. If he stayed here, his production would have stagnated. Defenses were clearly doing everything they could to slow Diggs down and Buffalo's offense was forced to find other playmakers. Fortunately, guys like Shakir, Cook and Kincaid stepped up. The offense all ready began to evolve. I can't really go so far as to say that Diggs was too much of a drama queen. He is a great WR and every great wants the ball. The organization simply needed to move in a different direction.

     

    To me, it looked like Brady was very focused on spreading the ball around when he took over. I think his approach is the right one. I'm excited to see what new wrinkles are added to make the offense even more explosive. It seems to me that the overall philosophy pointed toward having to move on from Diggs.

     

    The offense started to evolve the minute Dorsey was fired and Brady took over the OC role. The game plans were more complete and far less reliant on Allen and Diggs being heroes, resulting in a much more balanced offense and significantly better production by the team as a whole (not to mention taking pressure off of the defense by effectively running the ball). Diggs didn't like his reduced production, but the only stats that matter at the end of the day are wins and losses.

     

    Dorsey as OC - 10 games:

    Winning %: .500 (5-5)

    Points per game: 28.6 (skewed by weeks 2-4 blowouts against MIA, LV, WAS. 23.3ppg in the other 7)

    Diggs receptions/game: 7.3

    Diggs yards/game: 86.8

    Diggs TD/Game: 0.5

     

    Brady as OC - 9 games (including playoffs):

    Winning %: 0.778 (7-2)

    Points per game: 27.4

    Diggs receptions/game: 4.9

    Diggs yards/game: 43.1

    Diggs TD/Game: 0.1

    I would like to start discussing things we should do this September for the 25th Anniversary Tailgate... Current ideas:

     

    1. Shirts with a 25th logo
    2. Looking at a Dinner Cruise
    3. Golf tournament
    4. Bottle of Blanton awarded to best tailgate sandwich (inside joke)
    5. etc...

     

    Looking for a discussion on activities, venues, etc....

     

    Please take off-topic conversations elsewhere. Much appreciated.

     

    Hard to believe I've been around these parts that long, even though my account was lost in the great board crash of 2008(?) and had to be recreated. 

     

    I would definitely like a 25th anniversary TBDAHOT t-shirt to go with the one I got for the 20th. Cocktail cruise sounds pretty solid and golf sounds excellent. I'm up for all of it.

    I don’t golf. Well, I haven’t in about 15 years. And I was never good at it before. But if the golf day is a thing I may be interested. Can @Simon be my partner? 

    I suck at it, but I still do it. It's a good time.

    I know Josh played great, but Diggs was even better. I also loved what Gilliam did. Too bad the throw wasn't a bit lower! I also have to give Dawkins for the best block when he steamrolled a defender on Cook's big run.

     

    If this is referring to the deep pass down the sideline, I think if Gilliam had kept running instead of turning around for the ball, it would have dropped right over his shoulder, into his breadbasket, in stride.

    Some of it was caused by me, but I caught a failing hard disk in my errors. I'll call that a grinning win.

     

    Restoring all the data led to a couple database tables being corrupted. That has been fixed (I think). I have a few questions in, but I think we are ok. Every table checks out now.

     

    Thank you for your patience.

     

    Shades of the great board crash of 2008 that wiped out my original account. Pretty sure Gibran Hamdan was responsible for that one, maybe he's behind your failing hard drive.

    It is ironic that the F5 Multi-Cloud Security and Application Delivery system used to increase reliability is called that since F5 key is often used when failures are occurring.  On my keyboard the ink on the F5 key as worn off but not on other function keys.

     

     

    My F5 key decided it was done about a quarter of the way into the Mario Williams thread.

    Long time lurker here and 36 year Bills fanatic. I'm definitely going, where is your tailgate at? My buddy and I would love to swing by

    It's in a section of Hammer's lot (across Abbott Rd from the stadium, adjacent to the RV lot). It's at the front corner of the lot.

    I'll be making the drive out from Boston to be there. Looking forward to seeing you and everybody else.
