Will NFL Cancel the International Games this Season?
Bob in STL replied to thronethinker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Cancelling International games makes great sense at this time. I have a hard time seeing camp starting on time, but i have confidence that we will beat this virus. The whole league could be playing a modified schedule this season as a result. -
Why I believe Jordan Phillips wasn't retained
Bob in STL replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Interesting and insightful. Thanks. I wondered why they didn’t keep. -
RB is a really GLARING need, right?
Bob in STL replied to Richard Noggin's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am not missing the fact that teams use two running backs. My point is whether you pick one at 54 or wait another round. -
The Buffalo Bills Are A Well Oiled War Machine
Bob in STL replied to Victory Formation's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Games are won and lost on the field. Top talent is just one part of it. Preparation and execution are even more important. Let’s win the division and get home field playoff games before we jump to conclusions. -
I picked Taylor. If Singletary misses any games this will be a great move. If he doesn’t miss games then we have a nice 1-2 punch for windy winter ground and pound in New Era. This combo will open things up for Diggs and Co.

RB is a really GLARING need, right?
Bob in STL replied to Richard Noggin's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Pick #54 is very important to the offseason. I think you need to get a player that can be a solid starter at some point - that would mean Edge/OLB, or OT, or CB would be in play. Drafting a RB or a WR is basically drafting a rotational player for now. We could really use another RB to compliment Singletary or another WR threat to eventually challenge for the #2. I’m glad Beane is handling this and not me. -
Montana: Patriots 'made a mistake' with Brady leaving
Bob in STL replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In two seasons Beliicheck will be gone, and you will get your wish. -
Right On! Best defense in the AFL in the mid 60's. Harry Jacobs at MLB, John Tracey OLB, with Stratton at OLB Butch Byrd and Booker Edgerson were the corners George Saimes - was an all AFL Safety. We also had Tommy Janik and Haygood Clarke back there. Cookie could have probably started at LB too if we needed it.

He made some errors but he did more things right, the important things. He outlived many of his contemporaries. Chris Berman did his HOF speech and was humbled and honored. That says enough about him all by itself.

All we needed to do win the first SB was to hand the ball the Thurman. They played a 3-2 defense with extra DB's in a zone to take away deep balls and the crossing routes. We ran all over them but it was just too late … our offensive coaches did not call a good game at all. It was easy to run out of the K-gun and we could have forced the Giants go back to their 3-4 which would of then opened up the passing lanes. We gave up 20 points. Our offense was never on the field and our defense was tired and worn. That was a contributor to all the missed tackles in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Blaming Jeff Wright is revisionist history and incorrect. We played 90% of the game exactly they way they wanted us to. We had the better team but Parcells and Bellichek completely outcoached our staff. That is why we lost.

Would you trade Trent Murphy for Rashaad Penny?
Bob in STL replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The trading or cutting of Murphy seems to be a big topic. A healthy Murphy will be a real asset this year. I do not think they planned on losing Lorenzo, Shaq, Phillips and Murphy. I think Murphy stays. -
The Bills as an organization are thriving. I never said the offense was, I am talking big picture. Can you think big picture? Stop dissecting my posts and making assumptions when I never said anything about the offense. I am talking about entire organization. The perception about Buffalo has changed for a lot of free agents too. Can you grasp this concept? So, The organizing is thriving under Beane/McD. I think it would be an error to replace them if Allen does not pan out. That is my answer to the OP. Finally, I did not say finding a QB would be easy, but “find another QB” is the reality show Allen nit be the answer. I don’t think Beane/McD are interested in past foibles by past regimes and I trust they would be better than most any of the execs we have had if they had to draft another qb.
-
The team is thriving right now and Allen is developing right now. If Allen does not make it then you find another QB. You do not get rid of Beane/McD because of it. Let Beane make the changes, which does not mean blow it up and start over. Beane’s body of work is more than Allen, although Allen is key because QB is always critical.
-
I can see them drafting a developmental OT in later rounds. One with tools but needs coaching up and better competition. OR maybe they like a guy in round 2? I think they are banking on Ford improving. Why wouldn’t they? They traded up to get him. If not, then aTy starts. Someone mentioned the presence of Diggs. He will definitely help the OL by reducing the jail brake blitzing we saw.

Bills sign RB Taiwan Jones 1 YR
Bob in STL replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Indeed. Kick coverage and returns are typically your biggest yardage swings with change of possession. It’s best to be good at this. Field position is important. -
Bills sign RB Taiwan Jones 1 YR
Bob in STL replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They are bringing in another character guy that they know. This guys can make plays when needed and is a ST stud. Worth a look. -
Bills get a true #1 that is just reaching prime and has a good contract. Let’s play some football, then grade it.

Bills sign LB Tyler Matakevich on a 2 year deal $9m
Bob in STL replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Every team should have a few guys like this, but they are not very common. I’m betting he makes a few big plays for us on Special Teams. -
BPA is always a nice place to be so lets see what else Free Agency brings. Right now I think we still have a need to get younger and better at DE/Edge rush and at RB. If not further addressed in free agency I would look at those positions in rounds 2 and 3. I think OT, CB, S, are all possibilities too if the right player is there. On draft day it will be hard to miss out on that pick at 22 but Diggs will plug in immediately as a proven #1 and at a great contract.

Bills re-sign Jason Croom to 1-year deal
Bob in STL replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If Knox and Sweeney improve,and Kroft stays healthy, then the whole group improves regardless who else makes it. Smith and Croom come to camp but I expect more competition to be brought in too.
