WR Russell Shepard to sign with Giants
BruceVilanch replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Kerley can match his production. Surprised we didn't add to Carolina north though. -
Start Allen from Day 1/ QB competition
BruceVilanch replied to BuffaloBud420's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Completely agree, if Peterman wins we are in trouble. -
I have confidence that our receivers will rank somewhere near the bottom third of the league in production. I think Zay steps up his performance from last year and I think Benjamin will have value in the red zone, but after that I don't have a lot of confidence. I do, however, think we will improve on last years dreadful production.

What Do YOU Remember about Thurman Thomas?
BruceVilanch replied to Fadingpain's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He would run into a pile up of bodies and somehow would get through and pick up 10-15 yards. Still my favorite RB to watch in the 90's along with Barry Sanders. -
Poll - Buffalo Bills Number Hall of Fame
BruceVilanch replied to ChevyVanMiller's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He was supposed to be the two way OL/DT that could turn this franchise around. Travis Henry had a lot of productive years for us. He also has all time numbers off the field with 11 kids by ten different women. -
That's a really narrow way to look at things. i think it came down to coaching and finally getting the right culture in place. I feel like guy's were held more accountable this year and everyone was put on notice that if you didn't perform you were expendable. High round draft picks in their athletic prime were shipped off because they didn't fit the vision the F/O had (Darby, Watkins) and we still came together. That is what can make a marginal team a playoff team and a good team a contender, right now we are the former but hopefully within the next couple years we will be contending, regardless it's nice to see this team trending in the right direction. Go Bills, hope everyone is enjoying their Tuesday night.

Jim Kelly, Marshawn, TKO Love that you have a moorman jersey. -
RB Kenjon Barner visiting Bills
BruceVilanch replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For everyone saying he is old keep in mind the guy has never had a full workload as a RB, he is a ST player. I watched him live at Oregon multiple times, he was a beast, I am not saying sign the guy necessarily but he doesn't have the same amount of carries a normal 29 y/o RB would have. -
Sometimes......Dead is better.

I worked out with Jordan Poyers cousin the other day in Salem Oregon, FWIW he told me that Jordan loves Buffalo and wants to stay there the rest of his career.

My Buffalo Bills Draft Grades
BruceVilanch replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If AJ is our future then we are automatically set back 5 years. -
RD1, Pick 7: Josh Allen QB - Wyoming
BruceVilanch replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I believe my eyes as well, some of the throws he made are incredible, you can only make them with his type of arm talent. And he also makes some head scratching throws. Time will tell, but I like that we took a gamble on a guy with generational arm talent and a insanely quick release. And you are spot on, every one of these QB's had negatives, but none of them have the ceiling that Allen does. Go bills. -
Do we have any WRs that can adjust to play breakdowns?
BruceVilanch replied to Ramza86's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When Cam had his MVP year he seemed to be able to adjust to the improvising, I think playing with a guy like cam for as many years as he did will help him understand how to react to a QB who can improv. -
Possibilities to add more weapons...
BruceVilanch replied to elltrain22's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
With our OL I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on Luke Joeckel, he is young enough (26 or 27) we could kick the tires and see if he has anything. Other than that we will have to wait for cuts or make a creative trade to get someone who can be an instant weapon. -
[edited title] Robert Foster, UDFA - Roster shot?
BruceVilanch replied to Bronxbomber21's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was wondering the same thing, I personally don't see Kerley starting either. -
For every head scratcher he throws he also has throws where you say "How did he do that?" the kid has undeniable arm talent and a crazy quick release. I really hope once he is with a strong supporting cast he will shine. It will be beneficial for him to have Kelvin Benjamin to throw it up to. It will also be nice to have someone with an arm that can fit it in any window that is open. I am glad we will finally see someone who can use the middle of the field. All in all I am glad we finally took a risk and got "The Guy" our F/O wanted. In the end it will either set our franchise up for the next 10-15 years or set up back 5, here is to hoping we are set for the next decade plus. Go Bills

The fallacy of Allen being the bigger "risk" than Rosen
BruceVilanch replied to Magox's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm glad someone took time to write a well thought out post, not just complaining because we didn't draft the guy that they wanted. At the end of the day you have to take a risk to get the guy that you believe will turn into a franchise QB, they took Allen over Rosen for a reason, you make some good points. Kudos to you sir. -
Poll: Josh Allen Approval Rating
BruceVilanch replied to BuffaloRush's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wouldn't say giving up zero first round picks this year or next year is "trading the farm" I would have been disappointed if we had to give up #22 or our first next year, but giving up two 2nd round picks in no way constitutes "trading the farm" -
Allen could go either way, I don't mind them taking a chance on a guy with the type of potential he has. Out of all the QB's I believe he has the most legit shot of being a superstar. Edmunds is going to be a stud for years to come, we have someone who can cover TE's and someone who can stuff the run. I think we hit a HR with Edmunds and the potential of Allen has me excited. A for the grade.
