Oh wow, I didn't realize that...

Mack Hollins signs with Patriots
TheFunPolice replied to BillsFanForever19's topic in The Stadium Wall
bummer... the effect of having a locker room guy that keeps everyone loose is undersold Biron on those great Sabres teams was a good player but also a great guy to have on your team -
Kyle Juszczyk to the Bills if the 49ers release him? Bills are one of few teams that use a FB

QB Justin Fields to the Jets as per Tom Pelisserro
TheFunPolice replied to RiotAct's topic in The Stadium Wall
good deal for Fields -
When two great teams play each other, one great team will lose. It's that simple. A couple plays here or there make the difference. Andre Reed called the Bills cursed immediately after the 4th SB loss, basically saying the Bills should have won that Super Bowl but once in a lifetime plays always go against us. In that case he was referring to Thurman's fumble in the 3rd quarter with the Bills up 13-6 and with the ball. It was returned for a TD and the score was 13-13 and the team imploded. If Thurman breaks one instead and it's 20-6 Bills in the 3rd quarter with Aikman unable to throw due to playing with a serious concussion then the Bills likely win that 4th SB and history is different. The Norwood FG in the first SB was a long shot, low % FG back then, on grass, and for that player. The announcers talked about it the entire final drive. If you can stomach it, go back and watch on YouTube. That's not a curse, that's asking a player to do something at the very edge of their capability with everything on the line. It was basically a career long FG in tough conditions in a day and age when a 45+ yard FG was a long kick. 13 seconds was just bad defense and bad strategy overall. That's not a curse, it's 100% self inflicted. Every great team has the chance to win it all somewhere along the line. The previous Bills "dynasty" could easily have been 2-2 in the Super Bowl, which totally changes the way they are viewed. 2 rings going to 4 straight? One of the all time great runs in NFL history. Instead it's still great BUT.... This team will have its own chances going forward, and it will be there for the taking. They just need to take it. I think they will. Allen is an all-time great QB in the making who is dominant in his own time, and all-time great QBs almost always get to play in at least 1 Super Bowl.

DK Metcalf traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers

But they don't play offense in Pittsburgh -
DK Metcalf requests trade to a contender
TheFunPolice replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
If he wants a warm weather contender that's going to be tough. Most good teams are cold weather teams. I suppose Detroit and Minnesota having domes would work. My prediction is Houston. AFC, need WR, have QB, warm weather, and between Side Eye being a FA and Dell always getting hurt they have a huge need. -
DK Metcalf requests trade to a contender

For Metcalf: 2025: 2nd round pick (earlier of our 2) 2026: 3rd round pick pick For Garrett: 2025: #1 2026: #1 2027: #1 -
Jags release Christian Kirk, seems like a Billsy move
TheFunPolice replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
Steve Young was on (I think Rich Eisen's show) and related that Tom Brady ran up to him pre game during his last year with the Bucs and the two were chatting about him still playing and he said "Steve! The middle of the field is always open and nobody covers the flats... and nobody can hit me!" Today's passing game is about hitting the open guys in the flats and middle of the field and picking your time to throw one deep once the defense gets frustrated. Worked Brady's whole career but most offenses and QBs are too impatient. Point being... We need guys who get open in the slot. That's where the work is. Having a deep threat is important too, but guys who can get open are always needed. -
agreed... I love the big guys as much as anyone, but big, strong, cheap and young is the way to go at G. T is a much more premier position. I always wonder... if you had a HOF, best guard of all time with elite measurables how much value would that add over the average solid NFL starting guard? Obviously whichever side that guard played on would be solid, but then I would think your other guard would be exploited by the D. great tackles can neutralize a great DE, and we've seen that happen in the league for years.

Dalton Kincaid- why so underwhelming this season?
TheFunPolice replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall
I wonder if part of it is how close Knox and Allen are, with Kincaid coming in as the guy who is going to take Knox's place when he and Allen are best buddies. Should that be it? Of course not and it probably isn't, but part of me wonders if there is a difficult dynamic there. Teams rarely have 2 top TEs at once, so this new guy is going to come in and push one of the QBs best buddies out of town. All I know is I was so excited on draft night to hear about how "whoever lets Allen get Kincaid deserves what they get..." and it's been basically a total dud -
Bills OL is a real strength of the team and we are lucky for it. Many teams have terrible OL

Tee Higgins franchised tagged by Bengals
TheFunPolice replied to KingBoots8's topic in The Stadium Wall
I thought the Door Dash driver this weekend looked a lot like Mike Brown and this could explain it. I did tip him well. -
Players the Bills have met with at Combine
TheFunPolice replied to gonzo1105's topic in The Stadium Wall
Cleveland could be sitting in a great spot there.... If they trade Garrett they'll have a ton of extra picks. they could draft Carter in that scenario and get younger and cheaper at that spot and still have a star. -
Favre had a pretty serious biceps injury when he was on the Jets too. Either way, I don't think either guy (Favre or Rodgers) really wanted to go to the Jets, regardless of what they say/said. They wanted out of GB and GB wanted to control where they went. GB even put it into the deal that if the Jets traded Favre to the Vikings they had to pay extra picks. Of course, releasing him ended that.

Who was the Bills next best edge rusher after Bruce?
TheFunPolice replied to GreggTX's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was recently watching some old highlights of Bruce on YouTube, and man... I forgot how he just manhandled guys and rag dolled them on his way to crushing the QB It's a huge dropoff, but Mario Williams was the next best DE we've had. -

Draft both Caldwell and Grant at DT. Both 340+ pounds. Grant late 1st Caldwell 4th round Perfect! -
Another DT trade target - NE’s Davon Godchaux
TheFunPolice replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
There aren't many, and there never were many. They are truly special humans. That's why they bring such joy to our hearts when we see them don the Red White and Blue! But I want a Vita Vea! -
UFL to end traditional onside kicks
TheFunPolice replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall
This proposal is way, way too much power in the hands of a ref. It's like letting a ref throw a flag to allow a team to automatically convert an onside kick. Disaster waiting to happen either way. There's 2 possibilities: 1. They'll ref the play like any other 4th and long, meaning there will semi-often be flags thrown that automatically award the ball to the "kicking team" in this scenario. Think of all the possibilities: defensive holding, DPI, roughing the passer, hands to the face, illegal contact, unnecessary roughness for a big hit by a DB. That's a TON of temptation. On the flip side, offensive holding to wipe out the conversion. 2. The league will tell the refs to swallow the whistle for this play, which means defenses will take advantage, hold, etc. knowing the refs won't have the guts to call it. Sort of like a Hail Mary play now. Can you imagine the absolute uproar if a playoff game was decided because a ref threw a flag on the "onside conversion" play that allowed the Chiefs to win a playoff game? LOL It got bad this year. That would be nuclear. -

TheFunPolice replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'd like to see 340 pounds, knowing that "that's what he's listed at, but who are we kidding?" Sort of like when Sam Adams and Ted Washington were listed at 345 (ish) -

He's a tad light, but we could work on that if he's willing to put the work in at local pizzerias -
Stafford given permission to seek trade
TheFunPolice replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall
No doubt. Stafford would make the Steelers a real contender in the AFC, barring injuries to their defensive players. They would be in the top 4 in the AFC with him, IMO. Chiefs Bills Steelers Ravens -
UFL to end traditional onside kicks
TheFunPolice replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall
When it comes to the onside kick, part of me thinks that if you worked all game to build a lead that is more than 1 score and the other team doesn't have time or opportunity to come back then too bad they had all game to figure it out Do the old onside kick and take your chances
