Who are the top five QBs of all time?
A Dog Named Kelso replied to bbb's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Actually Sam Wyche and Boomer Esiason with the Bengals started the no huddle. The Bills were the first to employ it as their offensive style. -

We don't have too all you need to do is look at his success in KC. -
Titans Hire Ken Whisenhunt as New Head Coach
A Dog Named Kelso replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wouldn't that be the defensive coordinator's responsibility? -
I think it is a lot more far reaching than just sports. I have conversations with younger people who cannot do basic arithmetic or put together a simple articulate thought without stuttering or adding "Um", "Man" or "like" several times. Forget the college level, while the problem is brought to light because of higher profile for athletes of these schools, it is most likely starting quite a bit sooner.

Personnel Decisions Looming for Bills in 2015
A Dog Named Kelso replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I saw this in the comments section of the article about Dareus, does any one know if this is true? Not the part about his brother but the part about the phobia, I had not heard that before. If so, that is not a maturity thing. -
Bills to meet with Rogers Communications

So they were the home team for the Steelers and Vikings? -
Bills to meet with Rogers Communications
A Dog Named Kelso replied to San Jose Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A compromise for both parties ... get the game back from them and add their name to the field(i.e. Rogers Communications Field at Ralph Wilson Stadium). Sounds like a perfect plan to me Better yet make it an away game for both. I believe they do this for London. -
My point, I suppose, is that in reality the playoffs are a different entity then the regular season, as such, they can be treated that way. And I agree it is still flawed for picking the teams with the best records to enter the Playoffs. However, teams with the best records are not necessary the best teams, injuries schedule differences also determine a teams make up too. There will never be a perfect system. I understand the suggestion to eliminate divisions for a more accurate account of record to playoff berths, however, the divisions provide a benefits of rivalries that are manageable and timeless. Its hard to hate 15 other teams, much easier the focus on 3 not to mention the history there. We may not care as much about rivalries now that the Bills have been bottom feeders for so long but the AFC and NFC Norths show their benefit to the regular season. Your final point will happen from time to time, I suppose, no matter the selection process. But, I believe you will see more teams working to get a higher seed to perhaps get a playoff home game. This year the Chiefs would have play their starters in the final game so they would have a chance get a home game instead of the the Colts or Bengals. I am not sure there are any perfect solutions. It all depends on what any given person believes is a priority.

Selection into the playoff would remain the same. The only benefit of winning one's division would be a guaranteed spot in the playoffs. There would still be good teams left out of the playoffs as Arizona this year; however, the teams reaching the playoffs would be seated according to there records and tie breakers as they are now. I am sure that the NFL can figure out how to deal with tie breakers, they do it now for the final seeds.
-
I am not sure that is true. The most reasonable thing to do is not award them a home game but only guarantee them a spot in the playoffs. Once the playoff contenders are set the league should then seed the playoffs awarding the teams with the best records(regardless of being a division winner) the home field and byes. This will also change the dynamic at the end of the season where teams rest players because they can not win their division. Adding another team does not solve the problem of a team with a worse record hosting a better team. And I believe it is a different issue entirely. I am not against the addition of another team but really it does not solve the problem that I believe they are trying to fix.

Will Marrone Make Any More Changes?
A Dog Named Kelso replied to hondo in seattle's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There is a lot of talk that it is the same core as last year. Maybe we should list which are new players and which where here last year. Then you can argue that it is not the core but the coach. And Detroit went from 30th to 20th ... a pretty nice jump in his absence. -
Lewis to start / Manuel out
A Dog Named Kelso replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
OK .. I dare ya Just because it sounds like you want to use that "gif creator" and get the most out of the account. -
Playoff possibilities NFL and draft order
A Dog Named Kelso replied to djp14150's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Technically their first game in December this year was a "meaningful" game they just happened to play as though it wasn't. However, it did have playoff implications and they lost. -
Drop Marrone, make Pettine the new HC
A Dog Named Kelso replied to billsgpr88's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
^ This. Coordinators are picked off of playoff bound teams not teams that have sub .500 records. -
For those of you missing Levitre
A Dog Named Kelso replied to Homey D. Clown's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am not sure this is correct. I thought that Legursky got hurt in the final preseason game against the Lions. This was why Brown was in there so long. -
Add to that they really thought he would sit and be mentored by a veteran QB which did not happen. I believe he looks to us like he is coming along slowly but he may be ahead of the plan from what OBD thought they would have from him this year. They wanted to "develop" his raw ability as I recall. Also, they targeted EJ ... I think they took JP because he was what was left. There is a big difference there. Getting what they want vs settling should give you more hope I would think.

Interesting comments from Chris Brown
A Dog Named Kelso replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Do you have a link to that? It sounds like an interesting read. I read a quote from Graham after the game basically saying that sometimes what Stevie says or how his antics come across seem selfish but in the locker room they feel he is a great team mate. For what ever that is worth. -
Why is Graham used more than Goodwin?
A Dog Named Kelso replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If only there was a machine or a practice technique to help with that ... -
Sully throws SJ13 under the bus

And now he says that he said just the opposite: Its one thing to change your mind do to new facts or information. It is totally different flat out lied you said something else. -
Sully throws SJ13 under the bus
A Dog Named Kelso replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Perhaps but this is the first year he has missed games. There are plenty of issues you can bring up if you want to complain about SJ, this; however, is not one of them. -
^This! If he is not going to run then they should be running a different offense style rather than the Read Option. He needs to run more often or change to a different style. He also needs to let the ball fly more to open up the running game and in turn open the passing game up further. I am concerned that they have told him to do this but he is to scared too. I seem to remember reading an article were the coaches said they want him to "Air it out". Does anyone else remember that?

Colts far worse off than Bills
A Dog Named Kelso replied to 4merper4mer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What stops them from getting rid of him? If they parted ways with Manning I am pretty sure they will part ways with Luck if he is truly that bad. They also pay Manning ~20 million in a year he never suited up. I am not sure how you get that Luck is an albatross if he do not work out? -
Dear Mr. Brandon--the Toronto series must go
A Dog Named Kelso replied to dezertbill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You don't know they get a 14 point lead if they played at the Ralph. I am not disagreeing that there in advantage just that the dynamics of the whole game changes. We have no idea how the Bills would play in that weather and if they would score 31 points. -
Dear Mr. Brandon--the Toronto series must go
A Dog Named Kelso replied to dezertbill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This. While I am not a fan of the Toronto series, the way to fix it is to win. That will create fans of the team in Toronto and make it a home field atmosphere. The problem is the team doesn't with enough of the other 15 games it has every year. Of course, winning would fix all sorts of ills.
