Where did this same article rank Rex Ryan last year?

So in conclusion
The Bills didn't have a good enough defense to make up for an average offense...
And the Bills didn't have a good enough offense to make up for an average, and often below average, defense.
Result: 8-8 at best

I seriously doubt that Cowboys fans would list Tony Dorsett ahead of Emmit Smith.
-
Very interesting stuff.
I think some of the trends you cited may be because the teams themselves do this same sort of research and therefore they end up drafting players that fulfill these preconceptions.

And the alternative is what? Silent reading? Meditation?

If the average life span of an NFL career is five years you're bound to see ELEVEN new players each season. Add to that a few short term veteran free agent acquisitions and a couple of 'normal' injuries and that number will go up fast!

The concept of a surprise cut is clearly lost on many of you. There's no reason to respond with all the logical reasons why the player would NOT be cut! It's the lack of logic that makes it a surprise. Sheesh
To my way of thinking a 'surprise' would have to come from any of the veteran starters still on the roster from last year.

I'm actually most impressed with his 'brain work'. His interviews have been nothing short of astonishingly poised for a Guy of his young age and experience. I can't imagine how few interviews he would've given in college but he sure seems really comfortable when facing a face full of microphones. Here's hoping he plays even half as well as he answers questions!

Dress up the Ralph. There. I said it.
Didn't they just do that about a year ago?
-
I'll say Kyle Williams.
As players age, there's a big drop off with each next off-season.
-
What the?
If there's anything the last 15 years has taught Bills fans it's the answer to making the playoffs is NOT the presence of a 'top corner' on the roster!!!
It won't be the reason in 2017 either!
-
I've always had the mindset that your backup quarterback should have a similar set of skills as your starter. That way the rest of the offense doesn't have to retool should your backup need to play at some point.
I'm therefore more interested in Petermans mobility than his arm strength.

Would've much rather kept Touchdown Mike...

Yikes!
Why in the world would anyone even remotely related to a franchise that hasn't made the post season in a decade and a half make a TOP TEN moments video?
This does nothing other than rub salt in some ever deepening wounds. UGH
-
Well, he did have a great game that everyone saw the highlights of. He must be great.
Being an SC Alum I'd suggest you look at his entire last season. The kid was nothing short of AWESOME!
With that said...let's see how 2017 goes.

Cool! We'll still have room to add Percy Harvin during the Bye!

It's pretty simple really. The Bills thought they were really close to a solid playoff roster so they spent their funds to get up to the cap. I'm betting the same is/was true for the Chiefs.
The Bills never got their before changing course and the Chiefs did get there but fell short of the Super Bowl.
It's a vicious cycle.
-
I'll put it this way...the next time the Bills do actually make the Playoffs, it's going to take a at least a year for me to think that it was anything more than a total fluke. The last fifteen years have really taken a toll on this old fan.

I would like a new stadium because traditions form? That means football is more important than the stadium. So tell me again why I would benefit from a new stadium?
My response has NOTHING to do with any 'benefit' you would get from a new stadium. My point is that the stadium you are currently fond of hanging on to was at one time just hole in the ground, built on the cheap, in what was widely thought to be an architectural low point in arena/stadium venue design. I'm pretty sure you would come to grow fond of a new stadium over time as well. Notice that I did NOT use the word 'benefit' in this response either.

My son-in-law is a personal trainer out here in LA...and Byrd was in this exclusive Gym a couple of weeks ago working through some tightness. He hasn't seen him again since then, so I guess he's "good to go"!
-
I enjoy New Era Field, so yes it is a waste. I wouldn't enjoy a new stadium anymore. In fact probably less. Tailgating would be dead, and I wouldn't the actual game any more than I do now.
With all due respect...you're sort of making the alternative point without even knowing it. "Rich Stadium" was not built to be a show piece. It was built in an era when 'good enough' was all that WNY could stomach after a scandal ridden attempt at a Dome failed. But fast forward 50 years and you now enjoy New Era Stadium as much for what HAPPENS there, then for the actual place itself. I think you'd get used to a new, more modern stadium, and over time it too would become a place where things happen, memories and new traditions are made.
-
Just more desperation to make LA NFL friendly. The Combine could be more popular than either of their teams.
You're probably right. I'm sure WNY was the second choice.
-
What the heck?
Not a single Stadium Wall contributor made the list?
-
Or we could just spend my annual tax contribution to wipe out drugs, poverty, global warming, etc while getting nothing to show for it in return! Oh wait....that's what I do every April 15th when I'm paying my 'fair share'.
The last Bills Packers game

That game is one of my all time favorite Bills memories. I watched it with my soon-to-be son-in-law, in a sports bar in Waikiki Beach at 7:00am Honolulu time. A great Bills win to start off my daughter's wedding day! (We each a Moco Loco...look it up.) Mahalo!
