NFLPA Team Report Cards out - Bills are 23/32
BearNorth replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
Only about 30 passenger carrying 747-400's still in service, airlines are phasing them out for more economical and efficient jets like 777 and 787, and the Airbus 330 and 350 models. 767 that the Bills seem to be using is the smallest wide-body still operating, 2.5' - 3' narrower cabin than the state of the art wide bodies. Buffalo Niagara has one runway [NE-SW] of 8,891 feet and the other [NW-SE] is 7,161 feet. -

Having driven both, Highmark to Niagara Falls airport is no farther than Arrowhead to KC's airport. 45 minute trip to the airport is nothing out of the ordinary. -
After watching us get destroyed by King Henry more than once, I wouldn't mind a modern day thumper at RB. Eagles front office has been magicians with their roster building.

Xavier Worthy was on the board, we traded the pick to our arch rival. He is a get deep receiver. Playoff stats this year 19 catches, 21 targets, 3 TD's 13 first downs in 3 games, 15.1 ypc.

Ronnie Harmon drop in playoffs comes to mind as "one play"

In terms of post-season accomplishments, Lou Saban has the most championship rings. We hired him after he was fired by the Patriots.

Arguably the greatest "modern" QB Season is Brady in 2007. Brady turned 30 during training camp that year. So both Josh and Mahomes are coming into the Prime QB years. Brady had 50 TD passes, finished the year with a perfect 16-0 record - still the regular season record. He additionally led the league in completion rate (68.9%), pass yards (4,806) and yards per attempt (8.3).

Taylor's net worth is $1.6Billion, I imagine there are some legal issues that have to be worked through.

Slick Rick about to be Bills most valuable non player person.
BearNorth replied to Lost's topic in The Stadium Wall
We had a Bills QB when I was a kid. Did many speaking events in the community, if you met him, he shook your hand, looked you straight in the eye. Wore #15. Went on to a pretty solid career after the NFL. -
For many people Labor Day weekend is when they take their last gasp summer vacation or getaway to their lake house etc. Its also the weekend teachers use to get ready for school.

Bills scored more points than any other team this season..
BearNorth replied to Steptide's topic in The Stadium Wall
We need at least a couple of 235# thumper linebackers [Talley and C-Biscuit types] but can play at today's speed. -
And interestingly ranked below both Lamonica and Kemp.

What Position in Free Agency Puts Buffalo Over the Top?
BearNorth replied to BuffaloBaumer's topic in The Stadium Wall
Even with our basically JAG group of wide receivers, we averaged 30.9 ppg. we led the league in turnover margin, but were often not able to get off the field against quality offenses. I would say DE/ 1 Tech, LB [not sure how much Cookie has left]. CB [Douglas fell off sharply], S [Hopefully Bishop will improve, but Hamlin/Rapp are JAG's]. -
Anyone else for using our draft capital for trades?
BearNorth replied to SoonerBillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
With the Salary Cap and a top 5 QB who is currently being paid about 1/5 of your cap, you have to staff parts of your roster with cost-controlled draft picks and UDFA. 10 of the 53 at season end were rookies. -
Lost in the sauce: Outstanding Performances vs KC
BearNorth replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
As long as RB's like Henry and Barkley are in the league, going to need LB's with some heft. -
Lost in the sauce: Outstanding Performances vs KC
BearNorth replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes, especially since Barkley and King Henry showed that RB's are still important to good teams. -
Hopefully the back to back concussions won't impact Benford for the long term, He's the more valuable commodity, tho with a shorter shelf life. Bills need to rethink their LB's, ours are too slight when you look at teams like KC and PHL. Also about evaluation and drafting, Philly has the #1 and #6 graded LB's in the league in Baun & Burks, both 3rd round draft choices, Baun in 2020, Burks in 2018. Also wonder if coaching is part of the problem, Eagles and Chiefs both have acclaimed defensive masterminds in Fangio and Spagnuolo, don't think McD and his appointed DC Babich can claim that after this season, other than the stellar turnover performance.

Confluence of a lot of things--Bills just didn't play well
BearNorth replied to jahnyc's topic in The Stadium Wall
Still thought on the tush push we should have an alternate play - something like Heavy formation right with Brown, Anderson, Hollins [very good run blocker], not having Cook on the field for those, [and there were the 2 4th downs and the 2 PAT's ] was coaching malpractice.
