It's either the Raiders or Cowboys. Hopefully the Raiders.

I guess if you want to compare eras this is probably correct given how there wasn't a consistently elite team besides us in the AFC at the time throughout that four year stretch. Miami was always cute though. We'll call the Giants game our 13 seconds and the Redskins/Cowboys the Chiefs/Bengals. There's plenty of differences obviously but the most glaring one is Allen is 26 while Kelly was 33 (two weeks away from 34) when we lost the last Super Bowl.

Should QB Compensation Be Carved Out of the Salary Cap?
Doc Brown replied to st pete gogolak's topic in The Stadium Wall
The problem with that is if the salary cap goes down (unlikely I know) the QB gets paid less. I'd be more in favor of shortening the contract of draft picks to three years regardless of round. I'd also get rid of the 5th year (in my scenario 4th year) option. Make the teams use a franchise tag on the QB if they want to keep them past those three years. It shortens the "rookie window period" when you hit on an elite QB. -
OT…Daniel Jones about to be a very very rich man

Your move Jets. That's obviously coming from his agent. -
Dawkins, Saffold and Knox added to Pro Bowl
Doc Brown replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's an interesting thought as coming out of college I thought the Bills would play him at guard. It's a bit of a projection as he'd be making elite guard money. Maybe he can become elite at that position and better suited long term there. Getting an equivalent or better left tackle would be the challenge though. -
Dawkins, Saffold and Knox added to Pro Bowl
Doc Brown replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not that much different than previous seasons. I rely more on pff when it comes to line play because I suck at evaluating it. I don't really understand why people are down on Dawkins when he was our best o-lineman. Pass blocking was in the very good range and run blocking was in the average range. Those aren't pro bowl numbers but they're still slightly above average which is what he is at left tackle. -
Dawkins was fine down the stretch and the Bengals game was an outlier for him. As it seemed to be for basically most of the Bills roster. I have full confidence next year if they go with Dawkins (LT), Bates (LG-move him there), and Morse (C). The Bills need to address the right side aggressively though and hopefully Pegula makes it clear McBeane's job(s) depends on it.

This in the short term and Milano's eventual replacement in the long term. The cynic in me says that if they developed like they thought he would then they'd cut Milano after next year (saving about 8 million in cap space) and plug him in when Edmunds big extension money kicks in. Special teams depth until then while he develops. Hubris is a good word or a misjudgment of depth at OL and WR.

For one day, you are the Boss: what you do ?
Doc Brown replied to Italian Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Resign. I thought Josh Rosen's floor was Eli Manning for gosh sakes. For the purpose of this exercise: I'd try to get Steve Wilks to replace Frazier. I'd keep everyone else as is at least for one more season. I don't want to overreact to one bad game. -
If the NFL just made white pants mandatory the Bills in their current uni combos would look amazing each week. We wouldn't have the smurf look or the all abhorrent all red look. For home games I'd do: -Five standard unis (Blue tops, white pants, blue socks) -Two 90's throwbacks (Red helmet, 90's blue top, white pants and white socks) -One game where we wear the red color rush jerseys with white pants and red socks. Away games: -Three all whites -Three white tops, white pants, blue socks -Two white throwback Uni with standing Buffalo helmet For the 17th game they could have fan voting or whatever.

Final Pro Football Focus Oline Season Grades
Doc Brown replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
Pass blocking grades were somewhat better aside from Bates. Saffold and Brown need to be replaced. Move Bates back to LG. Dawkins - 80.4 Saffold - 50.2 Morse - 70.1 Bates - 61.5 Brown - 53.4 -
Frank Reich named new Head Coach of Panthers
Doc Brown replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yup. Wilks got a raw deal in Arizona as the roster on offense was bare (Rosen and Glennon as their QB's), a bunch of nobody WR's to compliment Larry Fitzgerald, and a poor offensive line. On the defensive side, they pry hired him knowing it and it would take him a couple of years to find the right guys and implement his 4-3 defensive scheme considering the Cardinals ran a 3-4 scheme with Bettcher. Keim was the one who deserved to be fired. Instead, they hired Kingsbury and we all know how that went. I'm not going to kill Tepper for wanting his head coach though as he owns the team and Reich has the credentials to get another shot as a head coach. I'd defend Wilks more if his team made the playoffs in the weakest conference as they didn't get it done against the Steelers or Bucs down the stretch. -
Old Buffalo Bills Message Board
Doc Brown replied to Floridagatorsbuffalobills's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm a transplant (strange that when that board shut down this team got good) but I kind of wish I knew about this board all along. Better moderated and not as many duplicate threads on the same topic. There's been some good posters from the past already mentioned but their was a user named Jay Fiedler who may have been the funniest troll I've ever seen. He did go too far though like when Fiedler retired he was asking our opinion if god would forgive him for committing suicide especially since he believed Miroslav Satan was the devil in human form. -

Doc Brown replied to Cygnus99's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bills don't play the Titans next year. Even in London. I'll say six: Raiders (In London) Cowboys - SNF Giants - TNF @Chiefs - SNF @Eagles - MNF @Dolphins - MNF CBS will protect Bills@Bengals.
