Sunday's Prediction
atlbillsfan1975 replied to It's in My Blood's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bills are what they are. The record shows it. An average/decent team. Tenn is not very good. So Bills will keep up the trend of beating not very good teams. Could be close or could be a game the Bills get on a roll. I am going to go with a roll and say 38-21, with Tenn scoring 2 touchdowns in the fourth to make it that close. Wishful thinking maybe, but we are due a 'good feeling' game. One where the D gets some more confidence and CJ and Freddie each go for over 100 yds. -
Brooks coming back to practice this week!
atlbillsfan1975 replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have no doubt Brooks is going to be a solid player. But let us all remember he is a rookie who has missed 6 weeks of practice. I think he will see some time, but expecting him to come in and immediately replace Williams is a stretch. Like to see him split some time with Williams. I also would like to see him used some in Blitzing packages. His most immediate impact will probably be made on special teams, kid is a heck of a gunner from what i have seen. -
You mean when the commish stepped in and told him to go to a team with a real HC? Sorry, but at this point i am not so sure i want Vick. Having watched his career in Atl closely i think what he does best is over. Vick has lost that elite speed due to hits and age. This was the biggest thing he brought to the table. Defense constantly had to keep one eye on him running. Now not so much. I echo the sentiments of many around here, no thanks on an over 30 guy that has issues/question marks. I would be all for trading as many picks necessary to get one of the two best qb's coming out of this draft. So what if you give up a 1# from your 2014 draft the Bills have a 15 year history to show what not having a franchise QB does for you.

Fitz numbers from Sunday per PFF
atlbillsfan1975 replied to cmjoyce113's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Now that is awesome. Fitz is not a legit NFL STARTING QB, and Chan finally gets it. i sent the text to my fellow Bills fan cuz saying this very thing about mid way thru the second quarter. Fitz shold not attempt more then 20-25 passes at most. CJ, Freedie and the D playing tough ar ethe only way the Bills win! Fitz will have a nice drive or even a nice game every now and then, but he is way to inconsistant. Chan must ask himself to start each game 'ok do i have the good Fitz or bad Fitz today?'. Think of how that must suck! -
The AFC Playoff Picture is Wide Open
atlbillsfan1975 replied to AC4 IN ATL's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Divisional wins will be the first big hurdle the Bills also have to win road games. They have two road victories so far and need to sneak out two more, the Jets and Pats would be nice ones to get. Kill two birds with one stone. I think we are seeing the decline, albeit very slow decline of the Pats and Steelers. Age is catching up to these two teams, as well in Baltimore. If the D for Buffalo can come together and gel then the Bills could make some noise. Chan seems to be realizing Fitz is a 'game manager' type of qb. I know, i hate that term too. But Fitz must be limited to 20-25 attempts at most. Let CJ and Freddie win you games, instead of Fitz losing you them! I agree that once in the playoffs the Blls may not win a game, but hey no one thought Seattle would beat the Saints two years ago, crazier things happen. -
I like what Choice had to say. A little cliche but good message to this bunch- they need to stick together and come together more and more. talent is there they need to start stepping up for themselves and each other.

You are exactly right K.H. I also agree that this was hopefully a little confidence builder for the unit. I also saw BLITZING yesterday, something that was forgotten or not used much at all in the first 5 games. Hopefully Wanny stays with this, and the Bills apply more pressure with 5 or 6 guys next week against Tenn. Between Blitz and the homefield crowd making noise, Hasselback could have a long day. Bradham continues to take steps forward. Like the way he delivers a hit and knocks the guy backwards. Barnett looks slow this year so far. Not sure if it is scheme or his age is catching up to him, but his play has dropped off from last year a lot.

Ray Lewis out for the Season, complete Tricep Tear
atlbillsfan1975 replied to Stl Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
suck for Lewis and Ravens fans. Feel bad for them. They also lost Webb yesterday, and the Ravens were already having a tough time stopping the run. The Bills fan in me is glad to see an opponent in the AFC weakened. But also have to say thank you to the Ravens for beating the Patsies. Butkus and Singletary are great, Lewis is the Best. -
Shawne merriman is back with the Bills
atlbillsfan1975 replied to superbills315's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
How does this work from the financial side of things? He got the gauranteed money because he was on the squad over the summer, right? How much was that? Now is he getting more money/new contract? Just wondering...please explain if you know. -
You hit the nailed it on a few points. CJ is the Bills most dynamic player on offense. He needs to touch the ball 25 times a game. Freddie about 15. Stevie gets targeted about 7-8 times a game. The rest get whats left over. Last year Bills were 5-2, and then the wheels feel off. You have to wait till week 10-12 to get the real feel for who is a true play off team. Living here in Atl, no fans are really over confident about the Dirty Birds. 6-0 is nice, but win a playoff game or two and then we will talk. The Falcons found a way to win a 'trap' game yesterday before their bye this next week. It was an ugly win much like Buffalo's yesterday. But in the NFL when you only get 16 chances you take one any way you can.

Yes 42 more T.D. in 13 games but also 38 more int in 13 games. So Fitz cancels out his TD by throwing drive ending Int's. And sometimes game ending ones. I know the back up QB is every fans favorite player, really i do. The coaches/FO has put themselves in this position. They have made moves/cuts to guys who were not producing. The players are watching the same games we are- Fitz is not producing. Sorry but Gailey is the guy who made Kordell Stewart look good in Pitts. Gailey has experience working with mobile physically talented QB's.

You hit the nail on the head. Stevie has lost confidence in Fitz, as well he should. I think the rest of the guys also are sick of getting open and Fitz not being able to get them the ball. Bills won today in spite of Fitz. He was getting guys killed out there. Freddie in particular on the screen play. THROW the ball away. And Stevie was doing all he could to help Fitz, but Fitz can not throw the ball. And the fact that the Bills give Seattle a slightly better LATE ROUND pick based on how many games Jackson plays is crazy. I hope that is really some fan based made up crap, because that is another thing which will kill a locker room.

Here's Something Else To Worry About
atlbillsfan1975 replied to yungmack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree with K-9. Levitre is worth resigning if it can be worked out. As far as the rest and even with Levitre, it is all about money. These players know now more then ever football is a brutal business. Make as much money as you can GAURENTEED, and get out as quick as you can. You will alway shave to find role players and back ups, that is the nature of the business. Some other team will pay more for your back up who flshed some talent, if they are in dire need of it. Honestly the Bills have a great young team in place for atleast another year or two, they just need a QB and a LB. -
Let's say the bills bomb out... is anyone else
atlbillsfan1975 replied to Jdragon2's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You really think that? I mean they brought in Vince Young as a back up. They also traded for T Jackson. I am not so sure i believe they think this way. If anything i think those two moves point to the fact that this regime realizes they have to win this year or they will not be makin gthose decisions in April. -
QB's we can make a play 4, Other than Draft
atlbillsfan1975 replied to NastyNateSoldiers's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Watched Cousins on Sunday when RGIII went down. Made some very nice throws. Also he looked very comfortable and poised overall. He did throw 2 picks which were complete rookie 'getting to greedy' type of mistakes. He could turn out to be the next Matt Schaub or Ryan Fitzpatrick. -
yes, everyone who said 'if he had a good oline he would be a better qb' is startin gto quit that talk to. Fitz just is not an elite QB. He is decent. IF the Bills could run the ball and play defense, which was the blue print that Nix was trying to build, then the Bills would have success. The more pressure put on Fitz to 'out shoot' another team, the results will often times be bad. . The Oakland game and N.E. at home last year were a long time ago.

As my father use to always say about vegas ' they do not build those big building because they lose'. So i get your point. I also know it can change day to day and week to week. IF the Bills get killed this week again, i would believe those odds would go down again. But when you look around the league you have some darn good teams with the same record or worse the the Bills. Look at the Saints, Packers,Detroit, Pitts, Denver etc... These were playoff teams a year ago and thought to be very good teams this year. Parity is alive and well in the NFL. I have watched almost every Falcons game, and they are a good but very beatable team. Not sure about Texans, i have not seen any games of theirs yet. The Bills seem like a team in need of some one to step up and be the leader. i think Dareus would be that guy but unfortunately his brothers death has left him dealing with much more important things. Fitz stinks and the team knows it. You can see Stevie pissed off. So yes i think Vegas is holding on to something. They know the talent this team has, and IF they can come up with a big win and pull together i think they can make a run.

Who will be HC next year?
atlbillsfan1975 replied to Dragonborn10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You are right about Singletary, but Davis points to his tough style as what turned him around. You need both, a guy that can coach and also command respect from his players. Gailey is NOT respected by his players. -
Leach? I guess. I mean the guy knows how to run a spread offense. is that what you are thinking for unconventional? I agree with all your points. You almost have to get like the Saints did with Peyton. Lucky. For every Peyton there are many more bad examples. I think what you need to do though is bring a HC and QB in together from day one. I look to the Falcons for my reasoning. They got a good GM and then he hired a good HC then they drafted a franchise QB with their first pick in that draft. Honestly a new HC and a good QB and this team is a playoff or better team. The talent is there(except qb). They just need a real leader.
-
if they cut Jackson after TRADING for him a month ago and with out playing a snap, then the front office should be fired. I think this is another indication of how valuable Levitre is. Guy has not missed any time really since he has been here. I do not think he is a Grubbs or Nicks talent wise. But his ability to stay healthy may mean a few more dollars.
