Solution to bad calls?
RememberTheRockpile replied to oldmanfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think there is a place for this (the missed PI and the blow to the head that wasn't). OTOH, video technology is still only 2 dimensional. It lacks the depth perception inherent in having 2 eyeballs. -
GB Packers hire Nate Hackett as OC
RememberTheRockpile replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For what it's worth. After Hackett was fired the Jags scored a total of 48 points (5 games - 9.6 points/game). For the first 11 games while Hackett was OC the Jags averaged 17.9 points/game. -
Nick Foles Contract
RememberTheRockpile replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If they pick up his 2019 league year option it cost the Eagles $20 million. If Foles opts out by paying back the $2 million and is subsequently tagged for $23.8 million he gets $23.8 million minus the $2 million he payed back for a cool $21.8 million. Under this scenario Foles wouldn't be $2 million poorer, he would be $1.8 million richer. -
We need to trade down...
RememberTheRockpile replied to bills6969's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Pretty much agree except for RB. While not an issue as far as running the ball is concerned. Knowing when to stay and block or go out as a safety valve. Knowing who to block and knowing where to be on a blitz is pretty important and undervalued. That all comes with experience and coaching. -
We need to trade down...

This is what the Bills get this year: 1st - 1 2nd - 1 3rd - 1 4th - 2 5th - 2 6th - 1 7th - 2 Likely the first 4 rounds picks all make the team. Assume one from the 5th and one more from the 6th and 7th. That is 7 rookies or 13% of the 53 man roster. Imagine trading down in the first for a 1st and a 3rd. Throw in a undrafted rookie and your up to 9 or 17% of your roster. At some point, and I don't know what that point is, the inexperience becomes a liability especially early in the season. IMO, they would be much better served if they traded down and got future draft picks. For example instead of a 1st and a 3rd a 1st and next years 3rd. -

How many rookies can you have on a roster before the inexperience is detrimental to the team? This is a question I have when I see people advocating trading down for more picks. -
Bills sign Derek Anderson to extension
RememberTheRockpile replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
At 900k he is costing around one half of one percent of the salary cap. -

IPad's are consumer electronics devices. A big drawback is they don't have multi-user support nor can they authenticate to a Windows domain. This makes them a pain in the butt in a business environment. It's hard to find anything in the enterprise class of devices that doesn't support some form of authentication with a Windows domain (either Active Directory or RADIUS authentication). Apple seems to still be suffering from the siege mentality by the ghost of Jobs. Bought my wife a Surface Pro and she loves it. Her keyboard has started acting up and a new one is around $120. They are pricey. For work I have a dell laptop that turns into a tablet when you rotate the keyboard all the way to the back of the screen. It has a 15" screen which if you're sitting on the couch works great as a tablet. If you're walking around trying to input stuff into it it's a bit more difficult to hold onto then a true tablet.
