He converted several 3rd and longs today with some clutch scrambling and passing. Threw some away on some other scrambles. I thought he played well. Woudlve liked to put the pedal to the metal a bit more in the 2nd half. But we won 2 without Sammy, and woods and clay both had a few nice 1st down plays, and we outsmarted them in the red zone. Can't really complain. 15 passing 1st downs. May be the same amount we had in weeks 1-3

I like that he's delegating more. He's more in tune with what's going on on the field, and I think rob is part of why he's comfortable doing it. He won a challenge on a really poor spot, and seemed to have better awareness on both sides of the team whether it was going back to the wildcat, or dialing in a blitz.

Um. Good point? -
Time to fire Whaley
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
By most people's grades, we had an excellent draft this year. Esp considering Seymour looked alright, and washing tons been getting a fair amount of snaps. We also added an upside qb, which is something we never do... And needed. Jonathan Williams looked like a solid value pick. All in all actually a pretty solid looking draft. -
2017 NFL Mock Drafts & Top Prospects
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in College Football
On the bills. Qb if it's there, if not add a receiver in the first 2 rounds. Maybe a pass rusher or corner. Trade back, not up. Trade up to make the initial splash. Trade back when u have job security. -
Yeah - strange that we haven't really invested picks in that position... We certainly used to. Moulds, Price, even Josh reed. Thats a 1 and two 2's on WRs in a like 4 or 5 year period. At the same token - we've drafted a receiver in each of the past 3 drafts. 1 cost 2 first roudn picks. Then a 6th and 7th in listenbee and Dez lewis. When you overspend on one, its hard to keep spending tons of draft resources on more. Some decent free agents next year - especially if we decide we want to use a lot of draft capital on a QB.

Whaley has been a complete failure as a GM
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to Yeezus's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not sure who does the contracts... but the depth at receiver could've been helped had we given hogan the extra 900K and a 2nd round tender. No way he gets touched there, then we have an extra receiver who we like. That was a pretty bad mistake, seeing the guys we trotted out this preseason. But i can't say for sure that Whaley was behind it, because i don't work there. Easy to blame Whaley on something that could absolutely have been Overdorf. Overpaying clay sucks... but it's not like he's legit terrible. He's a starting TE, just not much of a playmaker in the offense we have. The problem with just tanking in the NFL, is usually you get fired. So why would I as a GM want to tank, when i know i won't be around for the rebuild? That's why teams are constantly rebuilding... -

On April 30th, everyone blew up that we had the best draft in 10 years. We added need and value. Shaq is hurt - that sucks, but he was a top 3 pass rusher in the class. Ragland is hurt - Also sucks, but he was a projected starting MLB, thumping tackler, and leader. Washington - He's been pretty good Cardale - We drafted a project QB, who actually has ability and isn't some Jeff Tuel loser. Jonathan Williams - at the time seemed dumb, now that we've cut Karlos, seems like a smart move Listenbee - Upside receiver with a pre-existing injury- non-issue since at least half the round is practice squad guys Seymour - Solid depth CB who made our active roster over a few FA pickups Even with the injuries - its a freakin good draft! Couple it with Corey white and Zach Brown signings who have both been solid. Oh - and keeping Glenn last year. Negotiating a solid TT deal that has team protection. He's set the team up as best he can without a QB. There wasn't one to draft at 19 anyway. -

Bleeding Bills Blue replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Gronk fell to the 2nd round because he had a back problem. We don't have him because we didn't draft a player with a pre-existing injury... We drafted a guy who was probably our favorite pass rusher on the board. At 19... Thats pretty solid value. Then in the 2nd we get a guy who we projected as a starter, and leader in our defense. And in the 3rd we added a quality rotation end for a 3-4. Before the injuries - we had the BEST DRAFT EVER. Now people are injured and its fire Whaley. -
Bills Awarded WR Justin Hunter from Waivers
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have no idea how difficult playing receiver in the NFL is. One of the main knocks on powell making the team, were that he was having issues lining up. So i wonder if that's one of those things hunter is messing up. -
Bills Awarded WR Justin Hunter from Waivers
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As far as right now and the immediate future - he's a starter til sammy is back or he gets hurt. Powell is getting his shot in the slot while salas is out, hopefully he can make something of it. -

Salas is hurt - Goodwin's actually starting. You should probably include him in your 4... Poor guy gets labeled as injured when hes not - and injured people get listed ahead of him on the depth chart. Not like.. a huge fan of the guy - but jeeze he's not hurt quite yet. -
He's still on our team for another 2 years. Injuries suck - but I'm not about trading a guy who's value is at an all time low (not to mention creating a more massive hole). There's not much to discuss... There's plenty of ammo to fire whaley, but this is the first time in ages that we arent constantly losing/recycling our best players. So the roster is relatively talented. Yes - we could use a QB, but we need to time it right and not desperately chase one.

TNF: Creamsicle Dolphins at Bengals
Bleeding Bills Blue replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Oh Urbik, he was consistent at center. Consistently low, and to the right of the QB. -
I like college football. Much better flow. The ref's just make the calls very quickly and move on. Ball spotting is faster. There are fewer TV timeouts.
