Sounds like the fans are chanting "We want Flacco".

In the Era of Josh Allen, how about a little Jim Kelly love
dgrochester55 replied to wjag's topic in The Stadium Wall
Allen has more impressive stats and adds a rushing ability that Kelly never had. Kelly accomplished his stats in an era where the defense was allowed to do a lot more to stop the offense. You could make an argument for both. I personally think that Kelly is still number one, but that changes once Allen makes a couple of superbowls or wins one. -
I am normally okay with Romo, but he was annoying to me yesterday. Most of the time making random comments and could not seem to hide that he wanted the Lions to pull off the holiday upset. Even after yesterday, I would still take ten games with Romo over one with Collinsworth.

Update: Xavier Rhodes signed by Bills
dgrochester55 replied to Steel City Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall
There is no comparison to Boldin here IMO. Leinart was signed for the sole purpose of having a warm body for the last preseason game of that season and fulfilled that role. Boldin was expected to contribute, retired out of nowhere claiming that it was for social justice and then tried to sign with New England later that year until we blocked it due to having the rights to him. -
We don't have the mentality to win close games
dgrochester55 replied to UKBillFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
It does suck to lose that way, no doubt about that. Seeing this as a blip on the radar instead of a trend is what is comforting to me. -

dgrochester55 replied to UKBillFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Injuries across the board, heat exhaustion, bad calls and still Buffalo almost pulled it off. We will be fine, no one was really expecting an undefeated team were they? -
OJ Howard looking good. I wonder if Buffalo can call him back up from the minors?

Our new punter will be (Update pg. 38 - Martin Signed)
dgrochester55 replied to JMM's topic in The Stadium Wall
Michael Palardy. I don't know anything about him outside of a standard google search, but he is a current free agent who played in 2021 and was a Panther during McDermott's last year there. Lock it in, that is our punter. -
Matt Araiza accused of rape, served with a lawsuit.
dgrochester55 replied to bill8164's topic in Off the Wall
I think of the story on Brian Banks from a few years back and want to think innocent before proven guilty, but this looks pretty bad. Seems like the best case scenario may be consensual sex with an underage girl, still a crime. Buffalo may be best off moving on sooner rather than later. -
2nd Half thread: Bills vs Colts preseason week 1
dgrochester55 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bills fans are louder in the preseason then the fans of some teams are in the regular season. -
Praying earnestly for the health and safety of Josh Allen this year.

I dont think it is racism either because Geno Smith just started a few games last year. When it comes to talent, there is no doubt that Kaepernick could do more than Peterman. In 2017 and 2018 I would have put Kaepernick in the same tier that Winston, Mariotta and Trubisky are currently in, Spot starter/good backup who would likely get one more chance to carry a team somewhere down the road.. One other thing to consider is that Kaepernick focused more on his cause than training for football. He lot a lot of weight after a year or two and was not in football shape or anywhere near it. Many of these other quarterbacks are training non stop while networking, interviewing and trying out. Kaepernick was removed from that scene. A team needs someone who is in game shape and not going to get hurt if their starter goes down. If Kaepernick was to get back in game shape, I dont see any problem with him getting a shot somewhere.

I don't have anything against the guy. He was not so much bad as he was not at the level of a #3 pick or his extended contract. I dont see him making the Ravens team though have been out of football for so long and declining beforehand. Hopefully he is playing because he wants to and not because he lost all of his money.

Rd 6, Pick 180 (1): Punter Matt Araiza, San Diego State
dgrochester55 replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
Never thought that I would be this excited about a 6th round pick or a punter, but here we are. Araiza is the Chuck Norris of punters. -
I never heard of him and thought there were others before him, but I remember Tre'davious white being an under the radar pick too. I trust McDermott's judgement on corners and if he as anywhere near as good as White, than the 4th round pick is worth the trade up.

Williams and Losman are strong cases if you go by what the Bills could have done instead. As an individual, I think that it is Maybin hands down. At least Williams and Losman played for awhile. Maybin played less than most 7th rounders and seemed to have a worse attitude that most players. There were other much better options available at the position and practically everyone knew that it was a bad choice right away. Manuel is the least of a bust out of these choices. Yes he was bad, but when Matt Barkley is the best you could have done that year, I consider to be more of an unfortunate circumstance. The bigger mistake was not only going all in on Fitz, but being content with Tyler Thigpen as a backup and not drafting any quarterback once between 2008 and 2012. Had Buffalo drafted Wilson or even Dalton or Foles, there would not have been a need to pick a qb in 2013 and the drought may have ended sooner.

Packers Signing Sammy Watkins To 1 Year Deal
dgrochester55 replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sadly with the Packers current group, he may be their number 1 unless they draft someone who can play immediately.. -
Urban Meyer - "Worst experience in my professional life“
dgrochester55 replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
Now Urban knows how the Jaguars players felt during his tenure. -
Beasley had three broken ribs last season?
dgrochester55 replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall
Beasley was a big part of Allen's development and people loved him until a specific topic came up last year. It is fair to say that moving on was a cap necessity or that his production was down last year. It is unfair to pretend that he was not a key contributor in his first two years here or to imply that he was a bad person. We moved on and it makes sense that we did, but I wish him well. -
Jarvis Landry wants $20 million a year
dgrochester55 replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall
and I want a corvette and a mansion by the lake. Some things are just not going to happen. -
I remember McDermott doing this during his first year or two with the Bills. Doesnt hurt to have a few people who are accustomed to your system. Giants are going to need at least a couple of years to rebuild their team either way.
