A Few Thoughts about the Dolphins Game, in no particular order
Virgil replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Still haven’t explained how the one comment about the int is me being obsessed. Not have you talked about how two negative lines vs all the other positives, including the opening and closing lines about him, show where I’m so negative on him. But please, continue.... Thank you! -
2019 NFL Draft: Bills officially picking 9th
Virgil replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As of right now, and I will absolutely change my mind a lot.... 1 - Oliver (His antics make me wonder if he’s a process guy, but he’ll make the biggest impact at a position of need) 2 - Trade back - No legit WR worth taking that screams #1. 3 - Williams - Lock up the bookends for the next 10 years and call it a day (depending on how FA goes) -

A Few Thoughts about the Dolphins Game, in no particular order
Virgil replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For clarity. The same old Josh Allen is some great throws on a drive, a head scratching INT, some solid runs, and but overall 5 more completed passes away from saying he’s “arrived” But like I said with my first line, as some can’t read, (not you) Josh has a pretty good day today. I said “his int was a terrible decision” and literally nothing else about it. Maybe look up the word “obsessed” -

Please, tell me where I’m being so negative on Allen? I called out his INT and crap ability to throw the quick slant. Other than that, all positives. So again, be more specific -

Moreso in regards to who has the better rookie QB from this years draft, not if picked the right guy. -
Post-game perorations - Put ‘em Here
Virgil replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've thought about this a lot today. I don't think either is wrong. The point for any fan is the long term success of the franchise. Picking up to 8 spots higher in every round when your team is close to success can absolutely be a positive when for the franchise. On the flip side, the moment you let the cancer of playing not to win into your locker room, you could lose that bit of respect a coach needs when building a culture. As a fan, you never want to root against your team. For me, I would love to have the higher pick, but I'm happy to see Kyle walk off a winner. I'm a fan of the franchise, it's players, and overall success. Today, I was happy to just watch some Bills football and whatever happens, happens. -
I kept thinking about last season all day and my cautious optimism about possibly making the playoffs. While this game didn't carry any playoff importance at all, I felt good about today. I knew what this season was and feel comfortable with the progression we've seen from our core young guys. I also know that if we are in the same boat next year at week 17, it will NOT be okay. I was okay with a loss, draft position between 4-12 is a huge difference, but wanted Kyle to go out on top. With that, I just sat back and tried to enjoy the game 1 - Kyle - I watched Kyle a lot today and seemed like he got more than his normal share of double teams. I don't know if that's because the Dolphins weren't going to let him have his moment, or maybe I've missed that all season. I was nervous on his catch because he had to shed a block and almost didn't. Josh hit him right on the money and it was great to see him get the 9 yards. On almost every big defensive play, you could see the players want to thank Kyle after, even if he wasn't on the field. McDermott taking two knees to ensure Kyle got back on the field was true class. I can't remember a play since the early 90's that seemed to have this level of impact on his teammates and fans as he walked off the field. It was a truly special moment as he walked around the ring. I hope to see him return in some form of coaching capacity and even see his number retired. Maybe that's over the top. but I can't think of a player who has defined the team more the past 13 years. *After the catch, Kyle tossed the ball to the ref, but Zay immediately ran up and got the ball back. Those are the little things to me. First, that Kyle is just a consummate professional and two, even 2nd year Zay understands the moment and wants to make sure Kyle gets the memory 2 - Allen - Josh had a pretty good day today, but still seemed like the same old Josh to me. Hit int was a terrible decision. He had some great runs. He made some passes that were what we hope to see for the next 15 years. The biggest concern for me was his complete inability to throw a quick slant. I'm not exaggerating here, it was bad. Many called for this kind of play all season and I'm starting to see why they haven't. He didn't execute any of his at least three attempts how he should have. Yes, some were caught. But they were slow and off target. This is a basic weapon in any QB's arsenal and Allen couldn't do it. It was odd. Other than that, he hit Kyle when he needed to, accounted for 5 TD's and overall stepping on the throat of the Dolphins. Here's too a solid off-season for him, time with his weapons, support from the rushing attack, and a big step forward next year Josh. 3 - Edmunds - The kid was fired up today. I'd like to believe he was pissed after last weeks performance against the Pats and wanted to prove something. Well, if so, he definitely did. He was all over the field today with a sack, int, and some great run stuffs . He hit the hole with anticipation and authority. Kid was fantastic and gave arguable his best performance of the season. If today is a glimpse of his capacity, next season should be fun. 4 - Finally the door opened. It was a shock to see him shuffling into the room like an aging prizefighter, limping, beaten, but it was later when the great man squinted into the bitter glow of twilight and muttered simply, it means nothing, all of it nothing. that the true shock came it was then that the boy understood that his hero's true injuries lay hidden in a darker place, his heart. His heart once capable of inspiring others so completely, could no longer inspire so much as itself. It beat now only out of habit, it beat now only because it could. 5 - The Legend of Kiko - It's time for me to move on from Kiko after the incident today. There's playing with intensity and then there's just plain being a dick. You could tell he was out to hurt someone today and had more than a few plays that were unnecessary. I was happy to see him ejected after the play and it actually pissed me off a little when he gave his gloves away. Maybe the chip of the trade is still on his shoulder and I don't care. It's over Kiko. It's not me, it's you. *Who was it that went after Kiko after the play? People keep saying it was Mills, but I thought the jersey started with a 6. Anyone? Either way, how far we've come since the Gronk hit on Tre. 6 - Shady - It was good to see some production from Shady today and some yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Like everyone else, he seemed to have an extra burst in him today. It seems like ages since he scored a TD. He wasn't a dominant factor in the game, but was complimented well by Ivory who stuck to hitting the holes strong and fast (that's what she said). Overall, it's hard to not think that age has caught up to Shady. Even with a better offensive line, he's still not showing the explosive speed or ability to break tackles. I don't know what the best move is cap-wise, but we need to find our future at RB this off-season. 7 - Foster - I like the game from Foster today, even though he didn't have a huge game. His back-shoulder TD catch was something I've been hoping to see due to his size. Up until now, it's been all deep balls and curls. Speaking of curls, the Dolphins were giving him an almost 15 yard cushion. They were not go to let him beat them deep and he was the one being shadowed by the safety on the play where Zay was left open for a TD. I'm really excited to see what this kid does with a full season next year and believe he's given us one less spot we need to fill. 8 - Defense - After a week where they just got gashed on the ground, the entire defense showed up today and only gave up 10 points. They had 2 interceptions and dropped a 3rd. The pass rush was solid and while they bent at times, they never broke. Frazier had a solid game plan today and didn't miss a step when Tre went out with the head injury. Tackling was an issue for a little bit, but again, made them when it counted. Overall good game and I expect more solid results from them next season. 9 - Crossman - Last game of the season, last time to call for his job. When your coach doesn't know his kicker is too injured to make a 45 yard field goal, there's a problem. We still have Hyde fair catching punts. The unit is just a mess and I hope McDermott does what's necessary 10 - The Organization - As I'm watching the game and listening to the commentary, I'm hearing how the Dolphins could be moving on from Tannehill and their coaching staff. Then, I'm seeing the Jets score amongst rumors of Bowles about to get fired as well. All three teams in the AFC East have been trying to put the pieces together during the Cheatriots Dynasty and seem to be turning over coaches around the same time. As this game ended, you could still question Darnold vs Allen, but we are clearly the team of the three with the brighter future, clear path of what needs to be fixed, solid coaching, lots of draft picks as well as 90+ mil to spend. Like I said in my intro, my expectations will be a lot higher next year by week 17, but the future is bright with optimism. Go Bills!

Who Are You Rooting for the Rest of the Way?
Virgil replied to BUFFALOKIE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If they do, it’s going to be a fun offseason of hearing about the guy we let get away I guess I’ll say the Saints because of Brees. I definitely don’t want the Pats. Chiefs would be a Mahomes love-fest even more here. Texans are nothing special to me. ***** the cowboys. I’m good with the Rams too, although their owner is a tool -
Kyle Williams was overrated imo...
Virgil replied to BuffaloBud420's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Let me take a shot at this. You woke up this morning either alone or next to a girl you are pretty sure is cheating on you. As you try to guess the neighbors password to their WiFi, you look through the want ads in the newspaper for any job where you hope they won’t “disrepect” you, like they did at McDonalds last time. After a few hours of failure, mixed in with some crying while masterbating, you decided that it was time to take a dump on a guy on the day he’s retiring. Could it wait a few days? Sure. But could your dad wait to run out on your family? Could your mom wait any longer to tell you how much of a disappointment you are? No. So why should you? The point is, anyone is capable of being a dick. Why you need to do it today, I have no idea. Everyone is flawed. But maybe not pick the day the man’s being honored to talk about it. -
I’m better with taking Oliver with Kyle officially retiring. There just isn’t any offensive talent begging to be taken in the top half of round 1. There’s one TE, but he’s a 20-30 pick. WR’s have a different 1-5 ranking based upon the mock, and the Offensivr line talent is leveled off too. Not a good year to need offensive help

#2 guys are getting paid like starters. It’s not like a few years back with guys playing for $5 mil. It’s a premium position with limited depth -

This is what scares me. After the deals WR’s got last year and the lack of options, dudes are going to get highly overpaid -

Kyle Williams: Officially Retires

I’m glad he’s making the decision with a few days before the game. Gives the team a little time to do something for him and the fans on Sunday -
Kyle Williams: Officially Retires
Virgil replied to Clemfield2622's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Damn it. Now I need to find a way to go to the game. That’s a hell of a drive, but damn it, he’s worth it. His reaction in the locker room after making the playoffs last year was beautiful. Hats off to you man. You were the true embodiment of being a Buffalo Bill. -

We are playing Canadian rules. No one told you? -
First off, let me just say how incredibly rare NFL talent is. If you think about the how many kids play in High School, then College, and how few are considered to be NFL ready, it's a truly rare breed. To think that there isn't ONE legitimate offensive star coming out of this draft out of how many Div 1 schools? It's crazy if you think about it. Free Agents WR - Chris Conley (finishing his rookie deal. Doesn't have huge stats, but has size and speed) WR - Kevin White (he's going to have to settle for a one year, prove it deal. Huge boom or bust) WR - Tyrell Williams (solid #2 out of San Diego who has the size and speed of a number 1. May not be a true number one, but would command enough attention to let Foster or Zay do their thing) TE - Jared Cook (#1 receiver on Oakland. 32 years old, but a true pass catcher. Played under a 2 year, 10 mil contract. Would be a huge boost in the interim) RT - Daryl Williams (From Carolina. What more is there to say?) C - Matt Paradis And here's where I lose all credibility. IF, and I only mean IF, you can get him a front loaded contract with a safe out-clause after 3 years.......... RB - Bell. Hear me out. He's still incredibly young, has good speed, and proven performance. I admit, he has red flags with the suspensions and how well is backup played in the same system. But the big thing to me is more about Josh Allen. Bell is a genuine threat out of the backfield as a pass catcher. He can be the check down player Allen needs. Also, we have 90 mil to spend and there really isn't a lot of players to spend it on. So if Bell wants his money, give it to him up front. Pay him a bunch in the first 3 years before he's 29 and then have it be more team friendly. It's not our money. Whatever money is left, let McDermott go crazy on defensive players. In the draft, we can still get the WR out of UB and offensive lineman depth. End result, imagine this lineup on the field QB - Allen RB - Bell FB - DiMarco WR - Williams WR - Conley WR - Zay WR - Foster TE - Cook LT - Dawkins LG - Teller C - Paradis RG - Draft RT - Williams To me, that's an offense that I would expect production from weekly. Allen would have weapons all over the field. Yes, it's a little Madden, but it's not crazy with the money we have to spend. Flame away

I don't believe in the 3 year plan happening in '19
Virgil replied to PUNT750's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the answer is somewhere in the middle. The biggest issue is the lack of offensive talent via draft and free agency. There really aren’t any skill players this year that can change a team. -
