Guess how many teams...
OldNMBillsFan replied to metzelaars_lives's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree that the passing game needs to improve. However, I believe that at the moment, he is the best option, and that they that they can win with him. He brings a dimension to the running game that that helps far more than people realize. He has to be accounted for at all time by the opposing defenses. It takes time and experience for the game to slow down for a QB, that is difficult when the Bills call the fewest passing plays per game in the league. I believe TT can improve on his passing game. This was his second year as a starter, often the most difficult for a starting QB. I think the pressing issue is to fix the defense, not replacing the QB. Then make the decision on him next year. -
Guess how many teams...
OldNMBillsFan replied to metzelaars_lives's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I disagree. IMO the defense is why they will probably not make the playoffs again. The offence is averaging 5.6 yards a play this year and averaged 5.7 last year. The last time they had anything better was in 91 with 5.9. Yes, they laid an egg on opening day, but they had losses even though they put up 31, 25, 25, 25, 24 and 20 points. The league average for points scored per game is about 22. For CS they they put up 25 points in Seattle, no team has put up more points in Seattle than the bills this year, but when the going got tough, the D caved in. I agree that TT needs to improve, and I think he will, but to put the seasons failures on him is crazy. That's all I have to say about that. GO BILLS!!!! -
I think it's like the news in general today. Someone makes things up, just to stir the pot. It wouldn't surprise me if Kraft had one of his cronies putting out false information. I find it interesting that now, they are implying that it is Whaley doing it. Nothing kills a team quicker than this ****, and it started fairly early in the season.

Week 13 Predictions: Bills at Raiders
OldNMBillsFan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bills 31 Raiders 17 The Bills run all day against a defense that let Jonathan Stewart,who was averaging 3,3 yards a carry all season, average 5.6 yards a carry last week. Shady will avaerage 7 or better (fingers crossed). Then, just when the Defence is playing the run, they go deep to Sammy. I'll take another pitcher of Kool-Aid please!! Go Bills -
I agree, it wouldn't surprise me if some of the "supposed" Bills fans that post here are actually just trolls that are on Kraft's payroll.

Any Bills games getting flexed to Sunday night?
OldNMBillsFan replied to freester's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The NFL has to give at least 12 days notice to flex a game, that would be today. http://www.nfl.com/flexible-schedules -
Week 6 predictions: Niners at Bills
OldNMBillsFan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's exactly how I normally would feel. I seen something last Sunday that I had not seen in a long time. In the past 16 years, that fake punt would always work. I was shocked when it didn't, I watched in amazement while waiting for the flag to come out against the defense. Old habits are hard to break. As I said in my last post, the curse started with Fisher, and it ended last Sunday with Fisher. This is not the same old Bumbling Bills. ( At least that's the story I am sticking to for now) Bills 35 San Fran 6 Go Bills!!!! -
I think it was a great call. Over the last 16 years that play probably gets a first down, LA goes down and scores the winning touchdown with 10 seconds left in the game, and everyone says that he pulls off another trick play against the Bills with special teams. First the Music City Miracle, and now this. I believe it's an omen, the curse started with Fisher, and it ended yesterday with Fisher. This is not the same old Bumbling Bills. ( At least that's the story i am sticking to for now) GO BILLS!!!

It is result of playing the majority of the home games at the beginning of the season. IMO this is done intentionally to get a full stadium. The weather starts getting bad in November and they are usually eliminated from the playoffs by then. Its difficult to get people to the stadium for a team that is out of the playoffs especially when the weather is terrible.

Report from tonight's Fan Advisory Board meeting
OldNMBillsFan replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Along with what has already been mentioned, the only other suggestion I have for getting fans to their seat before kickoff is to have a seat drawing. The drawing would be after the coin toss. Have the numbers drawn from a ball machine. Section, row and seat. Have a camera follow the process displaying it on the Jumbotron. When the seat number is called, if the individual with that ticket is seated, they win a significant amount of cash. $5,000 or more. If the seat is empty, no one wins and there is no other drawing for that game. -
Report from tonight's Fan Advisory Board meeting
OldNMBillsFan replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You may be correct on only wanting more money. I hope it has to do more with the fan experience. I made it to 2 games last year. My tickets are near the isle. It is frustrating to try to watch the first 5 minutes of the game when the isles are still full from the late fans trying to take their seats. -

Freds rushing stats last year
OldNMBillsFan replied to Buffaloed in Pa's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Fred does more than run the ball. IMO, he is one of the best at protecting the QB. Did anyone see when Fred upended JJ Watt at Houston? JJ looked back at him like, who the heck was that. I couldn't find a video of that, but here are some of my all time favorite Fred moments. Age may slow his him down a step or two, but his experience in the backfield while protecting the QB is irreplaceable. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2014090702/2014/REG1/bills@bears?icampaign=GC_schedule_rr#menu=gameinfo%7CcontentId%3A0ap3000000390761&tab=videos http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2013090800/2013/REG1/patriots@bills?icampaign=GC_schedule_rr#menu=gameinfo%7CcontentId%3A0ap2000000240169&tab=videos http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2011112002/2011/REG11/bills@dolphins?icampaign=GC_schedule_rr#menu=gameinfo%7CcontentId%3A09000d5d8244a171&tab=videos -
Freds rushing stats last year
OldNMBillsFan replied to Buffaloed in Pa's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Please post facts. These stats are false. Jackson had 141 Carries, 525 yds, 3.7 ypc, 0 yes 0 fumbles in 141 carries. Brown had 36 carries for 126 yards for a 3.5 YPC, and a game loosing lost fumble. Brown's stats are not that impressive. -
Additions/Subtractions so far (3/19/15)...
OldNMBillsFan replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When you look at the talent added compared to the talent that left that contributed to the 9-7 record, barring injuries, I believe they are a better team. When you add the fact that rookie and 2nd years players should improve with experience. (For Example, Watkins, Woods, Hogan, EJ?, P. Brown, Henderson, Robey, D Williams) I think this could easily be an 11 win team. Time will tell. Go Bills -
They didn't. You must have just looked at the photos.

Someone agrees with you. They have the Bills as the 5th most improved after the first week. Miami 4th, and the Jets as the most improved. They have the Pats at 2nd worst. It should be an interesting season in the AFC East.

Any other ex-smokers out there?
OldNMBillsFan replied to Pine Barrens Mafia's topic in Off the Wall Archives
No. It has been 5 years for me. I only have the urge about 3 to 4 times a year now. I was the same after the first year. As time goes by it gets better. Good Luck -

IMO. He is an upgrade over Cassel.
