Thursday Night Football: Colts at Pats
Kirby Jackson replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Is this the time to chime in to say that Josh Gordon isn’t a process guy?? -
FWIW, I’m not talking about converting him to a WR. I’m saying, 10 or so snaps a game split him out if it helps. Motion him out of the backfield and maybe you can isolate him on an LB? These other teams are doing it.

Potentially getting different match-up. They are struggling right now to get him touches. Maybe this will help? It certainly won’t make it worse. He’s the best pass catcher on the team (as sad as that sounds).

2019 Mock Drafts and top prospects
Kirby Jackson replied to thunderingsquid's topic in College Football
You need to add New England to that list. -
I just don’t understand why anyone is against creative ways to get him touches? I don’t think dive plays behind this OL is the ideal way to do it. You can do some of that but you have to take a page from how the other top backs are used. Move him around and create mismatches.
-
Not necessarily if that’s what it takes. Teams ALWAYS split out RBs. Running backs got 574 targets lined up in the slot or wide last season. If Bell, Kamara, and Gurley are doing it why shouldn’t Shady? Get the ball in his hands 25 times a game and get him in space. This could absolutely be a way to get him out in the open.

2019 Mock Drafts and top prospects
Kirby Jackson replied to thunderingsquid's topic in College Football
This is where I’m at (specifically Bosa and Oliver at this point). We will also pick early in the 2nd and 3rd and have multiple 4ths & 5ths. They can EASILY pick 4 guys before the end of day 2 even without trading down. They could start with something like: - Bosa - Deebo Samuel - Michael Dieter - Isaiah Prince That is maybe a touch optimistic on the guys but you get the point. You add a starting WR, 2 starting OL and potentially a star pass rusher. I much prefer that. You need some difference makers. -
Lllllllllllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeee!

The game is a little different in 2018. In 1972 the NFL leader had 62 catches. 38 guys had that last year. It was 52 guys in 2016. The game is not the same. Shady needs 20-25 touches a game. Do what you need to so that happens.

2019 Mock Drafts and top prospects
Kirby Jackson replied to thunderingsquid's topic in College Football
Well said John!! Those people that were thinking this was a .500 team before the year really overlooked how much talent they lacked. They just aren’t good enough. It’s a bad football team and it wouldn’t be a winning team with Walsh or Lombardi. They have cleared the deck next year and can turn the corner but they have left little margin for error. If guys like Zay or Groy could play those would leave a few less holes. The problem is that they can’t. There are so many positions and so much depth that needs to improve that it will be tough. They have assets but they can’t waste them on guys like DiMarco, Proehl or Newhouse. The guys that you get have to improve this team. -

If we were to move back I could see Hollywood Brown being an option. It feels like Beane doing the exact opposite of what’s been done to date. Get a guy to get down the field for Allen. I think Brown will test well and climb like John Ross did. I could see him in the mid-1st. I just don’t think that they will keep going big bodies with no separation. -
The problem is it wasn’t the 2002 season. It was half of the 2002 season. From week 9 on he averaged 212 yards a game, and his team was 3-5. He threw 8 TDs, was picked 10 times, sacked 24 times and lost 4 fumbles. He was right back to being the sub-par QB that he was prior to those 8 games. It wasn’t “everything but the 8 games was an aberration,” the 8 games were the aberration.

Would Buffalo Support an NBA Team?
Kirby Jackson replied to Billsfanatic8989's topic in Off the Wall Archives
The NBA is a machine and by far the best run league. That is why they have closed the gap on the NFL. It’s a global game that’s filled with drama. Buffalo would support any pro sport team. We love sports. With that being said today’s Hollywood, superstar-driven NBA doesn’t fit in real well with Buffalo’s desire to be blue-collar underdogs. We’d be the only fan base that would rather have Joe Ingles than LeBron James. Also, I don’t see people forking over $1k plus per ticket, per game for 40+ nights. That’s the floor seat costs in the most markets. I don’t think anyone is under $50K a pair for feet on the wood. It just isn’t a good fit. -
I lived in NE at the time and Bledsoe was done. The game was evolving and he was being left behind. He came to Buffalo and played 8 good games and then was atrocious. He had a losing record, less than 200 yards a game and as many turnovers as TDs. If people expected it to be different it’s because they werent paying attention to the player that Bledsoe had become. BB didn’t think twice about sending him to the Bills for a 1st.

Players of interest on other team's practice squads
Kirby Jackson replied to WyoNewt's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good topic!! A couple of things though: - Hackenberg MAY be worse than Peterman. That is so incredibly hard to comprehend but it’s true. He’s that kind of terrible. He couldn’t play at Orchard Park High School. - The reason that the Pats keep James Ferentz is probably as simple as the relationship that BB and Kirk Ferentz have. I don’t think that there I more to it. - Gentry makes obvious sense. - I like the Siragusa thought as well. - Carlos Henderson is another guy of some interest to me. There is little harm in trying to turn over the bottom of your roster. You have some guys that are just bad. Why not try out some other young guys that we don’t know if they are bad yet? -
Star and Shaq Stats Alarming
Kirby Jackson replied to BuffaloBillsMagic1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Shaq has only played 2 games and has been decent. He is Ryan Denney 2.0. He is pretty good against the run and has positional versatility. He just isn’t a pass rusher. He is a fine rotational DL just not worth the 1st. Star was a mistake IMO. I’m not worried about his tackle stats. That’s just too much money to pay for a guy to eat blockers. Jonathan Hankins was out there until the start of the regular season before signing a $2M deal. He’s a better player than Star IMO. -
Predict the Score: Titans at Bills
Kirby Jackson replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
24-13 Bills -
Absolutely!! That was always going to be the case. The most obvious solutions now should be to play the young guys and hope that they develop. Get snaps for guys like Taron Johnson, Neal, Teller, McCloud, Foster, McDermott, Croom, etc... Your roster may be the worst in the NFL. You know guys like Holmes and Mills can’t play. Why not see if the other guys can be pieces in the future? I’m not even talking superstars but maybe you can find a slot receiver or a swing OT. We have needs everywhere. I’d also see what I could get for any of the vets that aren’t going to be a part of the future either.
-
I’m thinking that they are about a 4 win team. They always win one that they shouldn’t but that already happened. They’ll get a couple of division wins and then maybe 1 or 2 more.

Is Allen the Starting QB No Matter What?
Kirby Jackson replied to Billsfanatic8989's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great thread!!! Such an interesting topic to bring to the board!! Should the Bills continue to start the 7th overall pick, that they went all-in on and has played well or statistically the worst QB of all-time? I really think that they need to go back to Nate to see what he can do. He’s young and hasn’t really gotten a chance.
