The Great Tremaine Edmunds Debate
Norcalbillsfan replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree there's times he looks lost. I've defended edmunds alot, its not easy being the LB in the Bills D. The LBs are the focal point of the defense so it's very easy to look bad at times. But watching re runs of games I found myself saying "come on man you gotta make that" alot. And it really changed my opinion on edmunds, he had a down year. He's gonna need to show some serious improvement this year if the bills are gonna pay him. -
McShay- Bills trying to move up above 23 for Etienne
Norcalbillsfan replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bills can't afford to trade up for an RB, unless beane is going full send for a super bowl this year. Beane used the words "cheap labor" trading up for a RB is the exact opposite of that. To pay josh and the rest of our keystones we need as many rookie contracts as possible. Giving up picks and paying up for a RB would cripple beanes ability for roster construction. Not too mention there's been tons of mocks where Etienne doesn't even go rd 1. -
Excellent argument AGAINST drafting a 1st Round RB
Norcalbillsfan replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agree, I think the lack of speed and pass catching at RB hurt but with addition of brieda that's been addressed, but I have no issues drafting a speedy pass catching back in the late rounds either. -
Darnold to the Panthers
Norcalbillsfan replied to 17islongenough's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It was more of a mutual beneficial I think. The jets have absolutely no idea what they have in Darnold nearing his contract year. You go all in on him and pass on a qb, the very first pic Darnold throws the jets fan base will boo him out of the stadium cuz they will always want the new flashy pick in the draft. Darnold needs at least a fair shot to prove himself, hes spent his nfl career with arguably the worst set of offensive weapons in the NFL for at least 10 years. Panthers aren't perfect but it's miles ahead of the jets offense right now. -
I still feel like if the bills are going RB at 30 it's Etienne. He's everything the bills want speed and pass catching. Just my 2 cents is if the CB or edge they want isn't there at 30 then they look at Etienne cuz he instantly makes the offense better. If the CB or edge is there they take it in a heart beat then maybe take a speedy pass catching back later rounds or just rotate breida. Either way I think Breida is the insurance if they don't get the back they want.

2020 Announcer: "Allen is pressured, he escapes the pocket, breaks 7 tackles, hes still on his feet! stiff arms the LB to the ground and picks up 5 for the first down! 2021 announcer: "Allen is pressured, he escapes the pocket, hes got breida in the flats, breida makes the catch, turns on the burners and tears off a 30 yard pick up! Man Allen is just dicing up this defense from every angle tonight"

Ya it was weird that they didn't utilize him but that was a weird season for the phins they didn't even know who their QB was. I just love not dropping the draft capitol or money on an RB, look at other massive investment RBs, there's already been rumors about guys like mcaffrey and Barkley getting traded.
-
Agreed, the bills are a passing team. Not saying we shouldn't improve the run game but that 1st rounder for edge rush/ cb2 or trade back and get even more picks is the smart franchise move. Breida brings the speed and hands we lacked for little money and zero draft capitol. I love it.

Bills sign TE Jacob Hollister
Norcalbillsfan replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not too mention he helps the run game for little cap space. And he's definitely gonna buy into the culture in buffalo -
Awesome info, I wasn't heart broken with smoke leaving. When he was on the feild it still felt like something wasn't right and you made it clear what that was. I wish him all the best in vegas.

Bills sign Emmanuel Sanders
Norcalbillsfan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm guessing he's coming cheaper than smoke wanted to renegotiate too. He is a great route runner and I've never heard him being a problem in the locker room. I bet he will be excited to come and buy into the mentality. He not a blockbuster move by any means but hes still a good enough reciever he has to be accounted for by the defense, that's just that much more attention taken off of diggs and company. As long as the numbers aren't too high I like the signing. -
Bills a rumored suitor for Kareem Hunt trade
Norcalbillsfan replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
True. Did Kim have that much decision making at that point? I honestly don't know if she did or not but the amount of publicity she's been getting lately I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't have a serious voice in the meetings now. She's on the cover of magazines and national television. -
Would have liked to have him but I would have been very disappointed if we spent that type of money.
-
I wonder if it's Mckenzie to fill the roll. Or if there's a draft pick in mind.

Looks like John Brown was released
Norcalbillsfan replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Unfortunately I agree. I just hope the money is for keeping Allen clean. I don't wanna take a weapon from Allen and lose a keystone on the Oline and expect Allen to replicate an mvp runner up season. -
BR worst free agent signing of 2020
Norcalbillsfan replied to Orlando Buffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Completely agree, I think it was more for the surprise factor to not put clowney or hooper first as probably most people thought they would be. -
NFL Draft Success - Past 4 years
Norcalbillsfan replied to JGMcD2's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
How is talking about where we need to improve the team through the draft and where we haven't improved through the draft off topic from a thread called "draft success"? I apologize if I confused you in some way. -
NFL Draft Success - Past 4 years
Norcalbillsfan replied to JGMcD2's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm actually a fan of beanes drafts I'm just stating that people will bring up the fact we might spend 3 2nd round picks on rbs. When we could have done alot elsewhere with three 2nd round picks. And you say we don't have holes, but the rest of the nfl sees our RB squad as one of the worst in the league. Our CB2 situation is not ideal. Our edge rush is not good enough. And we are probably losing Milano. Possibly lose smoke. Beane is a good GM and I trust him to make it work. But to say we just need "upgrades" is being in denial. -
I think its the same topic as Allen. Is Dak mahomes? No. Is josh mahomes? Close but not yet. Getting close to mahomes money isn't graded by if your on mahomes level anymore. The nfl is a passing league, you don't win without an elite passer. Contracts aren't based on if your as good as mahomes, its "where would you be without me" Can the cowboys find another Dak in FA? No. Can you get Dak production in the draft if your not top 5 pick? Rarely. Imagine if you don't pay Allen the contract he wants and he walks. Where do you even start? Hope for that once in a decade watson trade? Dak will get paid by someone and so will josh.

NFL Draft Success - Past 4 years
Norcalbillsfan replied to JGMcD2's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Will Beanes draft grade go down if we go rb round 2 three years in a row? For 1 draft it's not too much capital, but 3 years in a row when we have so many holes? Not a beane hater just devils advocate.
