Are there any NFL teams with a #1 QB worse than Baker Mayfield?
UKBillFan replied to tomur67's topic in The Stadium Wall
Teams do want his but not at the price that the Browns want. Part of that is because he isn't a top tier QB (he's decent, but not top tier) and partly it's down to the other franchises looking dimly on the Watson deal so not wanting to get the Brown's out of a tight spot. I read an article yesterday which said the Browns may try and cut Mayfield on behavioural grounds so they don't have to pay him off. Unfortunately I can see him playing into their hands on that one. -
Though if, for whatever reason, they don’t want to show The Bills on opening night they still have the 49ers in reserve, in a repeat of the Championship game from last season. I just can’t see them not scheduling the Rams to kick off the season.

Just to highlight what the video says compared to the schedule posted under it as there are differences: Week One - at Chiefs (TNF) Week Two - vs Patriots Week Three - vs Packers (MNF) Week Four - at Jets Week Five - at Dolphins Week Six - vs Titans Week Seven - vs Steelers Week Eight - at Rams (TNF) Week Nine - Bye Week Ten - at Bears Week Eleven - at Bengals (SNF) Week Twelve - vs Vikings Week Thirteen - vs Dolphins Week Fourteen - at Ravens Week Fifteen - vs Browns (MNF) Week Sixteen - at Patriots Week Seventeen - at Cowboys Week Eighteen - vs Jets Firstly I cannot see why the NFL wouldn’t kick off the season with the Rams, especially with the Bills there as a tasty match up due to being one of the SB favourites/Von Miller links. Secondly three away games around the bye? O…K…

I’d love to see what happened in the second round and the decision making to continually trade down but I have the feeling that won’t make the cut. That’s the most intriguing part of trade night from a Bills perspective for me. Love that video though. Getting Shakir in the fifth has offset the loss of the fourth and reaching for Bernard - and I can fully see why we traded up for him.

Projecting coaches that won't make it to 2023
UKBillFan replied to mushypeaches's topic in The Stadium Wall
Depends, if we fall, how far we go. Make it to the SuperBowl and lose, Championship Game, possibly even the Divisional round and he’ll be fine. Out at the Wildcard round and I think his seat will be getting hot. Anything earlier than that… Of course extenuating circumstances will come into play with any decisions being made. This isn’t just McDermott either; can imagine things heating up for LaFleur in a similar way to this at the Packers, for example. Anyway, back to the original topic - Matt Rhule is a definite and I do wonder about Mike Vrabel’s as I agree he is not happy over the AJ Brown trade. Kevin Stefanski won’t last wrong if he’s given a fair crack with Watson and basically proves Baker Mayfield right. -
Regressed last year too on the field which wouldn’t have helped.

A possible seven primetime games? Heck, that’s going to eat into my holiday if I decide to not try and sleep through them…

He’s already had the surgery, before the 2021 season.

Rd 6, Pick 180 (1): Punter Matt Araiza, San Diego State

Josh might see that as a challenge. 😄 -

UKBillFan replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
Unless we just go with Haack and Bass, keeping Araiza on the PS. -
It could be he has a lot of offers so is weighing them up. On the other hand, the medical reports might be sounding too many alarms.

Yes, because I'm sure McDermott will now trust the leg of Araiza more than the hands more Allen because of this pick. -
Rd 5, Pick 148 (5): WR Khalil Shakir, Boise St

Good write up, except for that random NFC scout! -
Rd 6, Pick 180 (1): Punter Matt Araiza, San Diego State
UKBillFan replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
Everything we suspected already, really. Fine as a sixth round choice considering the issues Haack had last year. -
Rd 3, Pick 89 (25): LB Terrell Bernard, Baylor
UKBillFan replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not bad feedback, I think character is key with him. He'll fight all the way. -
Rd 2, Pick 63 (31): RB James Cook, Georgia
UKBillFan replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not the best of reads, to be fair. -
Poll: How would you grade the Bills overall draft?
UKBillFan replied to Lost's topic in The Stadium Wall
I have no issue with Elam or Cook, nor Bernard due to Shakir being a steal in the fifth. And obviously Araiza is a punter with a massive upside. Benford seems to be someone the scouting team have a lot of time for. I know it sounds stupid but it's our second sixth and seventh picks which bug me - Lecitus Smith and Dohnovan West were there and we decided to go with neither? -

UKBillFan replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think Beane said Bass and Ferguson would be helping Arazia in terms of holding. I remember referencing it at the time, why Haack wouldn’t help too. Especially as, in the same comment, Beane called him an elite holder.
