Bills 6.5 win total over under
Jerry Jabber replied to papazoid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Considered the Bills have averaged 6-10 over the past 14 years, I'd say that's a safe bet. I guess we can see a parade in downtown Buffalo whenever the Bills make the playoffs again. -
Jairus Byrd [was Jarius Byrd]
Jerry Jabber replied to Iowabillsfan4life's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Just letting Byrd walk without putting the franchise tag on him again makes absolutely no sense. At least with the franchise tag, the Bills could still have more time to trade him, especially with the draft approaching in May. Letting one of your best players walk without getting anything in return is a very idiotic move. If the Bills are unable to move him, then they might as well stick it to Byrd and his agent since it's obvious Byrd doesn't want to play in Buffalo, no matter the price. -
What's the over/under on Glass Joe [Manuel] making it through the preseason without an injury to either one of his knees?

This is disheartening to hear as the culture at OBD has not changed. Then again, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised as Littmann, Overdorf, and Berchtold have been part of the problem in Buffalo for years. Russ Brandon is supposed to be the man in completely in charge at OBD, but it doesn’t appear that way as Whaley and Marrone keep running into roadblocks with the front office. I hate to say it, but I don’t think anything will change until the Bills have a new owner and the three stooges “Littmann, Overdorf, and Berchtold” are gone.

http://www.buffalorumblings.com/buffalo-bills-opinion/2014/2/24/5441756/buffalo-bills-front-office-rift-russ-brandon-doug-whaley-marrone From Tim Graham: “But team sources tell me executives such as Littmann, Overdorf and Berchtold still hold too much sway and haven't afforded Whaley or Marrone as much control as either feels he needs to correct a losing culture. These sources tell me Marrone and Whaley would like more control over personnel decisions, especially free agents.” This is disheartening to hear as the culture at OBD has not changed.

Is TJ Graham as bad as we think?

What crack are you smoking? -
Is TJ Graham as bad as we think?
Jerry Jabber replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I guess that excuse can be used as to why the Bills have royally sucked over the last 9 years (meaning no winning seasons). -
Is TJ Graham as bad as we think?
Jerry Jabber replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree with your assessment. I would rather see Goodwin get more time on the field besides being thrown an occasional deep pass. -

Jerry Jabber replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My honest observation of Graham is that if he isn't wide open (meaning no defenders on him) and if the ball doesn't him hit directly in the hands, then he has been unable to make a play. I know some WR's take some time to develop (Eric Moulds was a late bloomer), but so far I haven't been impressed with him and feel he should be way down on the depth chart until he proves otherwise. -
http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2014/2/21/5433138/should-the-bills-replace-tj-graham "T.J was targeted on 58 passing plays, which accounts for 11% of all the quarterback targets (522). T.J. was the fifth receiving option in the pass game, behind Stevie Johnson (150 targets), Robert Woods (85 targets), Scott Chandler (81 targets) and Fred Jackson (65 targets). Of the seven primary receiving targets on the Bills, Graham had the worst catch to target ratio of 39.7%" The article gives a good breakdown of the times Graham was targeted and reaffirms what we already know.

I agree Nitro. Having a terrible Offensive line for years is inexcusable. I've always believed in building from the lines out. Your QB has to have enough time in the pocket to go through his reads, as well as having the O-line to open holes in the run game. The Bills have had a tendency of letting their key valuable players walk (such as Winfield and Pat Williams).

Key words "he has a shot." I agree that the Bills need TE’s like Gronkowski (minus the injuries) and Graham. Gailey (and the other buffoons before him) wanted TE’s that were good at blocking and opening holes in the run game, but not used that often in the passing game. The Bills have been lacking a tall physical WR since Eric Moulds left that can outmuscle and outleap defenders.

http://www.realfootb...les/bills/15178 "Over the years, the Bills have mainly had below average QB’s as their starters, one solid Wide Receiver (WR), followed by below-average WR’s to round out the group, a mediocre to below average Tight End (TE), good to very good Running Back’s (RBs), followed by one or two good offensive lineman, with the rest being below average. With the Bills drafting EJ Manuel last year and giving him time to develop, they need to give him as many weapons as possible to see if he can truly be the franchise QB." With QB's like Alex Van Pelt, Todd Collins, Rob Johnson, Kelly Holcomb, JP Losman, Trent Edwards, and Ryan Fitzpatrick, it's no wonder why the Bills have been a bad team for so long. I agree with the author that no matter who the Bills QB is, they need to give him multiple weapons on offense, and not the scrubs that they have been over the years (like Josh Reed, Bobby Shaw, Donald Jones, TJ Graham, etc...)

Whether he's gay or straight, it shouldn't matter, just as long as the guy produces on the football field and stays out of trouble. Some people are acting as if he's Bruce Cuskeeoski from San Francisco University (from 3:29-3:49): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L6IeH6KeaY

Bills hire Jim Schwartz DC, Todd Downing QB coach
Jerry Jabber replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Titans D under Schwartz was in the top 10 in passing & rushing. I'm excited about the pick as he could possibly be an upgrade over Pettine.
