Round 6, Pick #192: DE Danny Batten S. Dakota State
flmike replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is the round to rebuild special teams. They saw something they liked. -
Yeesh... Watch another team. The rest of us will cheer on our team and offer criticism without letting it ruin our lives.

What's This? A positive report about the Bills?
flmike replied to richNjoisy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, sophomoric is a complement then. He's a college freshman! -
Draft Luncheon (reading between the lines)
flmike replied to loyalbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
On the contrary, we got into trouble making stupid draft choices and splashy FA signings. I'll take slow and competent from this crew. Nix has the history of good drafts. Put a few together and build a solid team that I will enjoy watching. -
Already drinking and it's just team workout months... You and I can't do much other than stay away from the stadium and the jersey store when the team is bad. My goodness, just enjoy the draft and watch for some improvement next year. If you are hoping for playoffs this soon, you will be disappointed for sure. A football fan likes good football. Everyone else just checks scores...

What do you think of the FRONT OFFICE so far?
flmike replied to toddgurley's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think Clausen will be available. I think that Washington only wants McNabb for a short time to get a new QB ready. Watch them take him with their pick. -
The guy has the build and the experience, but has never played in cold weather to my knowledge. One of our advantages is Buffalo in Nov-Jan. We need to work what ever advantages we have or just build a dome...

Might be a early run on OT's in the draft
flmike replied to Bufcomments's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And exactly what the qualities of this kid that would make you do that? Yes, a superb QB is what you need to get the SB, but is there a SB QB out there to be had this year? We're not going to the SB this year, even if Indy trades us Manning for an extra football. Get good lineman this year and work on skill players next year. -
Donte Whitner traded for McNabb? On his twitter.

Well it IS April Fool's Day... -
Would you be okay with Skelton?
flmike replied to Billsfan=pain's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
An NFL QB has to come out of college with a lot more than in past years. The money is so big now that programs can't wait 5 years to see if a guy can learn to do things against the best that he wasn't doing against lower level teams. Every now and then a team picks up a Brady or a Warner, but it is so rare you shouldn't bet the franchise on it. Peyton Manning is a great example. He won at every level against the very best competition. Even he didn't tear it up his first year, but his history suggested what he could do. I get the feeling that some here want a franchise QB so badly that they are imagining that the guys coming out this year can be that. Only Tebow has the necessary history, but he would need a technique overhaul. Sorry guys, Jim Kelly is not available in this draft. Fix other areas first and notice how much better Edwards gets as a result. He'll do for another year. -
UPDATED: Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos
flmike replied to Kingfish's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It has to be tough for a committed Christian in the NFL. One is expected to spread the Good News and take the lumps that come with it. Sure, he got an earful for doing that, but I'm sure he's heard it before. Just doing his job. -
Say no to Clausen or any other QB this year. Build the trenches, please!! I know that team only goes so far as the QB will take them, but Johnny Unitas would look bad behind a bad line...
-
I'll be mighty disappointed if we take any of the QBs at #9. OT or DT is the big need right now. Next year will be better for QBs, I think. This wreck is not going to be rebuilt in a year, so build the foundation first, show improvement, and the fans will be there - the real ones, I mean.

Obviously The Draft Is The Only Way Bills Make It
flmike replied to BuffaloBaumer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, I don't know what all the moaning is about. Nix is signing a couple of placeholder guys until draftees mature. He knows, and we all should, that this a rebuild that should have been done properly 10 years ago. It will take time. We won't be in the playoffs this year or maybe even next. If they play better and show some life, I'll be happy until 2012. BTW every FA is a restricted one right now. Signing top talent takes away big draft choices. Signing marginal talent to hold a spot and provide depth doesn't cost as much, especially when your stated goal is to build through the draft. -
Can't sign players who don't want to play here.

New Defensive Coordinator - George Edwards
flmike replied to ajm's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Loving it! Go Noles! -
Sorry, any single-color uniform looks retarded. Go back to the 60s uniforms. Shouldn't a uniform first allow players to be seen on the field from the stands? The dark ones obscure everything.

My Farewell to the Buffalo Bills
flmike replied to StupidNation's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Don't let the door hit ya on the way out. I watch football for entertainment to root for my home city. You have your own reasons. -
Presents himself well. Seems to really know football. Only 4 games over 500 as an NFL coach, though. Hope he has a similar boost as Levy's here. Let's face it, even if Lombardi were able to take this team, it will be a while until things turn around. Let's hope it's fun to watch again.

"Bills Secure 4th Place Finish"
flmike replied to N.Y. Orangeman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Head coach in place, let's start rebuilding this thing. Oh, sorry, did you want me to something negative about a guy who hasn't even introduced himself to the players yet? Sorry, the Bills are my team unless they move. I may not watch all the games, but I support my guys. 31 other choices, fellas. -
Are you happy with Chan Gailey as our HC?
flmike replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Considering the attractiveness of this organization right now, this was about the best we could do. At least he has experience winning football games. Dick Jauron really didn't, the one season aside. Also he seems to have been able to work with marginal talent. He will have this until Buddy gets us some good players. In the end, a HC is only as good as his coordinators and especially his players. Looks like he's here, so to all the fair-weather fans, see ya. Go root for the team that's winning, cause, ya know, that makes you a better person. -
I don't get the hate of Sully. When the Bills suck he is the voice of the disgruntled fan. You read him, nod your head and then get on with your week. My goodness, if you don't like him, don't read him. Would you prefer the bland stating of the obvious or blowing sunshine up our heinies?

I like McNabb, but say "no" to Vick. There is nothing good that could come of getting him.
