Should Bills pass on Draft Prospects that
8-8 Forever? replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
yep. Mayfield is too short for the NFL. I want 6-3 or better. -
as I predicted, TT didn't last the season, the rookie goes in and the tank is effectively in place. just one long preseason talent evaluation this season is. looks like 7-9 from here . ho hum. go get a QB in the draft pls.

Why don't the bills get more Monday night games?
8-8 Forever? replied to Steptide's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
mnf is pretty consistent; win and you're in , lose and you're out. Bills have no real historical storylines, other than negative ones, therefore not much TV production value; stadium in the middle of nowhere, no real highlights to show.... . how many vid clips of the serving line at anchor bar can you show? and did i say the team is dull? -
The time has come to lose out.

probably, but a win vs Colts and all of a sudden all is well, sort of. just go and compete, 8-8 will probably just happen anyway -
McBeanes will do all of the above, while trying to compete and win games. Just as they have all year as they evaluate what they have. All has rolled out as I envisioned, I just thought TT would go down or otherwise be replaced a few games earlier. Key injuries have occurred right on schedule (Glenn, TT, WRs, others) , and other than swiping a couple games against poorly playing good teams they should have lost to due to excessive turnovers, the "Controlled Tank" (tanking without saying you're tanking) is pretty much rolling out. Its all good. Trust the process. Hopefully they squeak out 8-8 and go get Kirk Cousins or luck out with a QB mid-draft.. .

Tyrod asks for pro bowl votes, gets roasted

read option is ultimately a failed strategy , fun to watch, but gets QBs killed and does nothing for the pass game, which every rule in the book now favors -
He was drafted into Rex's scheme- disguised blitz defense . he wasn't drafted to be a mano a mano sack artist, as Rex's defense doesn't pressure the QB that way. In Rex's scheme, the sacker is usually disguised as a dropper -- could be anyone . Just like Ragland was drafted as a 3-4 inside LB thumper (another Rex defense idea). This years defense bears zero resemblence to last years so none of Rex's picks fit it. McD plays zone, Rex wanted man cover guys. totally different. Really sucks when they blow it all up. this is what you get -- all kinds of misfit parts. but on balance, going back to straight up front 4 pressure/traditional extra man blitzes , etc., with zone behind it works better in todays NFL -- not much to look at , but it works better.

Was this a meaningful late season win?
8-8 Forever? replied to T-Bomb's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
all wins are good wins. road wins are especially good wins -
media will be all over it bc they need new stars to promote... national media wants Mahomes in there bc he might be marketable. Alex Smith is likely viewed as a dud from a marketing perspective

you guys watch too much football on TV

One week they look like a high school team, the next they shut off a good team away from the Ralph. Someone explain please.

no. unless the turnover machine cranks up again, they get a 30+ burger laid on 'em today. looks like the movie is over for this year.

Why do the Bills Never Have THE GUY?
8-8 Forever? replied to Domdab99's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
good for them. Darby , Gilmore, Watkins, Ragland, Woods, Dareus, Poz all playing for top teams. bet they're glad to be out of crazy town. They HAVE failed to draft a high quality QB, though. That and the coaching merry go round (thanks Ralph) are the two things that have held them back. -
The DEFENSE has simply quit - my question is WHY?
8-8 Forever? replied to Socal-805's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
McCown, Brees and Rivers are low turnover guys. Jameis, Carr take risk. Jameis is frankly irresponsible at times. Seems teams have figured out how to max protect against Hughes , et al. , as well. Expose the bad cover guys our LBs are. Some of these kinds of things. Plus run right at it. Kyle is exposed w/o the Big Fat Man next to him.... Chargers (who showed out vs Cowboys), Jets (Thursday night home game) and Saints (#1 team in NFL now) are pretty tough outs for a rebuilding team dumping to create cap space. -

8-8 Forever? replied to Socal-805's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
thats about the size of it. Bills have been outplayed from scrimmage most of the year. splash turnover plays completely changed 3 games (T White in Atlanta, Milano v Raiders and T White strip recovery to set up GW FG v bucs) they were getting beat from scrimmage in. Clay, Glenn, Miller, Watkins, Woods, Dareus all gone from the lineup without replacements -- McBeanes and doing a total salary cap/roster fit rebuild. They should be 3-7 or 2-8 and we should be talking draft, but they got lucky in a few home , non divisional games and here we are thinking stupid sh-t like playoffs. silly fools. KC will put another 30 burger on them and this board will be aflame on Monday. -

The remaining divisional games
8-8 Forever? replied to Cygnus99's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
who knows? O Line is a injury riddled mess, D Line minus Dareus is being blown up. TT playing about 5 feet tall, O scheme not working. WRs all walking wounded or worse. TE's knee is as bad as ever. I can see them losing out, not for lack of effort, its just they're down Watkins, Woods, Dareus, Williams, a pile of starters are barely able to play and the O scheme is failing. Not sure how you turn that around. Turnovers flip the scenario, but turnover margin is a fickle thing. Unless the opponent is in worse shape than they are come a particular game day or the turnover train starts up again, I don't see them very competitive going forward. -
now that i think on it, my sense is the bills tank to 6-10, then move up just a few spots (maybe from 10 to 5) and get one of the 3 top gradeouts that are left.. great year for QBs, they should do well getting another to go with Nate the skate. TT will be gone IMO.

both 1s will probably be required, if not more, unless the Bills tank completely to 6-10, which is likely
