For awhile now this Board seems to pile on the Browns for having a bad QB situation and I really don't get it. Even without Johnny F they have a QB that in 2.5 games in 2013 had 5 TDs, 3 pics, for 615, completed virtually 60% of his passes, beat his divisions eventual champion and was technically 3-0 when he left for the season. I never want to see anyone get hurt and lose a season, but I couldn't have been the only one that breathed a sigh of relief when he went out of that game last year. However, for some reason this guy gets Rodney type respect. ...just don't get it. BTW, i picked the Jags.

What if EJ Stinks or Gets Injured Again?
dollars 2 donuts replied to Niagara Bill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I honestly think the young man will work out. However, if he finishes the season with 14 starts, 18 tds, 12 picks and is still completing less than 60% of his passes I'm not sure what you do with him. What am i hoping for, given 14 starts? At least 24 tds less than 14 ints more than 3,200 yards completing no less than 60% of his passes ...and please oh please at least 7-7, but preferably 8-6. EDIT: and hey, look, I love our RBs and I know you have to be able to run the ball in Buffalo, but sooner or later this team has to get into this century and start averaging 225-240 yards a game passing. -
Updated PFF Bills Depth Chart
dollars 2 donuts replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I can't be the only one that hopes EJ, who was 4-5 as a rookie starter in games he finished on an already poor team, can raise his game to the level this year of at least Erik Pears and Doug Legursky. -
APB, thank you for your well thought out response and for pulling me off the the bridge! I guess what does bother me is what I stated later on in the post. If ("If" mind you) this did happen, I do see the league taking measures to not let it happen like this again (too late the heroes...Thanks!), and someone in power finally saying, "ya know, there are a number of people within a reasonable radius of Buffalo."

Robert Woods to play the Slot
dollars 2 donuts replied to Jdizzle's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Please let EJ have a full preseason to work with these guys, b/c if he gets on the same page with all these guys...wow. -
Seriously, if you were one of the mega billionaires what do you care or worry about if the stadium is empty for a number of years? What p****s me off is that right after the bills are sold and then moved the NFL will enact rules to make moving a team more difficult. ...I mean jeepers you can just feel it's going to happen. Btw, all the while as the sales process plays itself out a few silent voices descending on deaf ears will try and remind purchasers and nfl fans that there are 7-10 million people within 100 miles of Buffalo to no avail.

should we be worried about the jets?

Rochesterian Malcolm Glazer, RIP, 85 years old.
dollars 2 donuts replied to boyst's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes, very true. I am appreciative of the situation with Pegula. Btw, it is a minor fantasy of mine that the new Bills owner isn't just billionaire, but a serious billionaire (7 plus billion)...that would be nice weight to throw around during owners meetings when/if the Bills and Buffalo get picked on. ...wow about Mara. I did not know that, as well. -

Yeah, I know. We've all known that for years. If they did I guarantee Ralph would have had a succession plan. It is just disappointing that it didn't workout that way...ya know, that Linda Bogden didn't pre-decease her father, or that he didn't have a couple more children who might have had an interest in in keeping the team. Hell, with Adams it looks like they have multi generations running the team. I just wish that would have been our situation. -

Well, Ford died this year and I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that Bud Adams died at the end of the season. ...of the four deaths we are the only up for grabs franchise. -

Had no idea he was born in Rochester. Seemed like a good guy. RIP. -
Who will be our best receiver this year?
dollars 2 donuts replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
KJ, that is almost my exact low side expectation of which I'd still be ok with given his potential. I believe his high side and my hope is about 84 grabs, 1200 yards and 10-11 td's. -
The New stadium must be a dome
dollars 2 donuts replied to Kellyto83TD's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This...and from an engineering standpoint it is not some mystical voodoo as it was perceived to be when the lobster shell opened up north so many years ago. I am not saying it is cheap, but it should be considered, because they abundant in today's sports complexes. -
Downtown Stadium Article
dollars 2 donuts replied to need therapy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have been to a few Bengals games over the years and I know exactly what you are talking about. I not only liked the tailgating before the games, but going to downtown pubs afterward. EDIT: Additionally, and not to be a lazy bones, can one of you tech savvy bunch link to a map with these areas, generally, highlighted please? Thank you. -
Bills sign try-out 6'4" WR Caleb Holley
dollars 2 donuts replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Man, it makes you really appreciate how for some of these guys have to come, and some do, like Freddy. From Coe College, the lower arena league, living in his mother-in-law's basement to making 10 plus million dollars over the course of his NFL career and probably finishing as the third leading rushing in a franchise's history. Not bad at all. -
Sammy gets double-teamed. Now, what?
dollars 2 donuts replied to #34fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
and a little bit of pee running down some flat-footed DB's leg if Goodwin happens to be in the game. OP, I respect the scenario, but I feel like worrying about this is like worrying about the 27 Yankees having no batting depth after Mark Koenig...OK, maybe a little too much there, but I'm feeling optimistic. -
I understand the concern many have with him getting older...I do. I know full well at some point he may have a precipitous drop off in production. I also get that he had a serious injury that hampered him in 2012, and has been "dinged" since, and I am not looking to break the bank with him. Additionally, as the BN article stated today many RBs reach their peak at 27 years old. ...the darn thing is that since turning 28 the guy has 951 carries for 4,256 yards and 25 TDs to go with 197 receptions for 1,632 yards and six additional TDs for a total of 5,888 yards and 31 TDs in essentially four and half season. If he keeps that average going this year I am willing to gamble, what in NFL terms is a pittance, on at least another year or two.

...what do you do with him in 2015? Let's just say all things are equal, meaning the Bills have a 3rd RB who is good, but not quite there yet and they DO resign CJ for 3-4 million per year (his hypo: 250 carries, 1125 yards 4 rushing TDs but better receiving numbers). Do you look to the 2015 draft for a middle round replacement RB to be the #2 (or 1B) (which we may do this year anyways) or do you extend him an offer? I'd give him 2 years, 4.5 million with one million guaranteed (or bonus) with a total for 2015 of no less than 2 million. I think even one year further down the road, even though he has lost some steps, he gives you something that is not easily replaced. ...just a side discussion here waiting around for next Thursday. GO BILLS!
-
Well, if we can get him and Zack Martin in the same draft we can call them the T-Rex Twins.
-
I predict at least one of your guys gets picked by the Bills (not a big stretch, huh? ) More specifically, Tuitt, Turner or Van Noy.

Article about Bills sale from a non-fan
dollars 2 donuts replied to Canadian Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
M2003, I didn't even want to bring that up...guys calling talk radio that had grown up going to games with their dads and it was just all coming to an end. Yes, grown men on the radio crying and it wasn't even remotely embarrassing. I don't know why I kept listening as it was just so gut wrenching. Paraphrasing one guy (and I can never get this out of my head) "we're losing our team and why are we just sitting around talking about it like it is just another sports story...my God, we're losing our team and I feel so powerless...there is nothing we can do about it...and I just can't even talk anymore..." Welling up as he hung up the phone. -

Not it cannot, and I for one (but hopefully not just one) hope for a flood of similar articles, even if they are insanely redundant.
