Bills signing Fournette (for real this time)
BuffaloBillyG replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
Rejoice! -
They can just use a call up on Ankou this week as well.
-
True. But if they put Elam on IR that opens 1 spot. And adding the 2nd DT to PS would mean we cut one off there. And that guy would get 3 call ups . Not a big deal. I know beating Cincinnati is big, but if we can make it through this week and get these bodies in there it will be huge for helping stack wins. Eventually, I would think at least one of Ford, Settle and Phillips are likely gone.
-
Those would both be some good gets at this stage of the season. Can't believe Ioannidis is still out there.

Or, the NFL is a contact sport and players get injured. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. You're not wrong. However, It's nice that he's willing to admit that what he's put together isn't working and trying to make a move. Nothing is more frustrating than a GM that makes mistakes then refuses to fix them.

For those that missed if with a few key comments added. Good watch. Some other key points- - Worked through many possibilities at CB before dealing for Rasul. Seemed like the asking prices were too high for others. - Had been calling about DTs. Still looking to add. I read that as "We have several vets we are talking to. First one to accept our offer at a lower salary is a Buffalo Bill". But help is likely on the way. - Rasul not expected to practice today. Not likely to be active this week IMO. - Mentioned Fournette isn't familiar with the playbook. May take him a bit to see action is the way I took it. Also said regarding Fournette that nothing's been promised. - As usual, Beane was pretty straight forward as far as NFL GMs go.

The NFL perhaps more than any other sport is a matchup league. Not only scheme wise, but also WHEN you play a team. The Bengals are a good example. Often struggle early and then hit a groove where they are the hottest team in the league. They are in that streak right now. And as much as people will disagree because of the narrative around them...Denver is in a streak of playing better football the last 3 weeks as well. The defense is figuring things out. They aren't going to be the same easy win team that Miami faced early in the season.

I like PFF as a tool to see if the the grades match the eye test. Not normally as a stand alone measurements. That said...he already knows to look for the ball when playing Tua.

I'm 100% convinced 70% of the people here just read box scores.

Agreed. Has experience in zone. Long arms and 6'2".

Solid move. What's the compensation?

Bears CB Jaylon Johnson Requests to be Traded
BuffaloBillyG replied to ExiledInIllinois's topic in The Stadium Wall
Here's my thought. They have 2 high 1sts next year. Pass Rush is a HUGE need for them. This lets them bring in Sweat early. Get into the system. Not have to spend those 1sts on a pass rusher. They have a TON of cap space right now and can easily sign him to a deal before the end of the season. I'm betting they had permission to chat with his agent before making the trade and it's already in the works. As long as they get the extension done it's not a bad move. Sweat is proven to be good. A draft pick may not. Also, day isn't done. They may still move Johnson and get some picks back. -
NFL Trade Deadline Oct 31 - Rumored List of Players Available
BuffaloBillyG replied to ngbills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Their GM handed out 2 sizable contracts to LBers last off season but won't pony up enough dough to make a young blue chip player at a pretty important position happy. That's...a plan. -
TRADE! Giants send Williams to Seattle for 2nd
BuffaloBillyG replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
Who knows. But I think I'd rather keep that 2nd rounder as well. Especially with Buffalo possibly being in on a DT that wouldn't cost picks. -
Would have liked him, just not at that price.

Trade deadline needs what are your priorities
BuffaloBillyG replied to Xwnyer's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hearing Fournette is in the building today. Not joking. -
Yeah, well they cut me off before I could suggest they bring back Brian Brohm. He never got the chance he deserved. They bring Brohm back and Allen is on borrowed time...

Chiefs v Dolphins in Frankfurt Germany
BuffaloBillyG replied to Aussie Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think the Bills stand a good chance of stacking wins and keeping even with the Chiefs and Dolphins. It's the Jaguars who have a gave over us AND the head to head Im more concerned with as we need help to get seeded above them. -
Chiefs v Dolphins in Frankfurt Germany
BuffaloBillyG replied to Aussie Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall
We play the Chiefs. We still have a game against the Dolphins. Doesn't matter who wins this game as long as the Bills handle their business. -
We have 2 of the top football teams over the last 3 years meeting for an important mid season game. And a huge bulk of the coverage will be about someone that likely won't even be on the field. I don't like that the questions all week for the team will likely center around the Hamlin incident and put them back into that mode. This was for many of them one of the toughest moments of their life. It's really time to move on. It's also unfair to Damar. The kid is forever going to be known for this. Let him get on with his life.

Giants Jets game - Daboll's call to attempt a FG
BuffaloBillyG replied to BillsIsrael's topic in The Stadium Wall
In the rain, down a good chunk of you OL, down to QB3 and already showing you weren't going to throw. Against a really good front 7. Not the time to take that chance. That's exactly what you pay a kicker like Gano for. You try for the points and end the game. If you miss you depend on your defense that had been playing lights out up to the last 50 seconds of the game. FG was the right choice. -
Week 9 thread - We’re on to Cincinnati
BuffaloBillyG replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Here's the way I see it. It better rise up. And I don't want to hear about injuries either. For the most part I have been a pretty steady supporter of McDermott as a coach. I don't always like what he does but I see the logic behind it most times. However he is a HC (now DC as well) with an extensive background on the defensive side of the ball. He really should be able to scheme up a gameplan to work around the talent he's missing. DCs do this on a weekly basis. Just take a look at the team we are playing this week. Cincinnati has never had the most talent on defense...but they have a DC that can work around it. Take a look at when the Patriots and Bills just played. They were down Judon, down Uche and STILL managed a pass rush. They have had patchwork DB play and were missing their excellent rookie CB...still did well in coverage. This stretch right here is "put up or shut up" time for McDermott. No Leslie Frazier calling the plays. He's got to come up with something that works. Time to see what Sean can bring to the table as a defensive mind. I have faith he'll have something good on tap. -
