First things to look for when the schedule comes out
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Charles Romes's topic in The Stadium Wall
How many games will likely be on national TV so can decide whether it's worth it to buy ST or not! -
It was this time last year they offered the $100 off, as was right prior to schedule coming out. Probably they figure once schedule is out as you see the Bills or whatever team you're following is on maybe 10 games already, why bother getting it. Haven't tried this in a couple years, but use to be able to spoof IP address and then watch came on local Buffalo CBS station, you did need a Paramount + account, but that was less than $10 a month.

Think it's more a case that many of the posters here who's expert evaluation skills can tell after one injury filled season that Coleman is a bust, much faster than any coaches or front office folks can figure it out. I do think one advantage Moore will have over Cooper last year is that he's here already, through all of mini camps, training camp, and pre-season. During the season it's hard to get much real practice time. Wasn't there also something that right after Cooper signed, Allen got dinged up and was barely participating in throwing during the week. Thought I recalled reading that up till around Dec 1st Cooper and Allen only had like maybe 2 practice sessions together. Or am I thinking of a guy they signed mid season the year or two prior? -

I remember the round table with Felser and Carucci. There were two others, that were also good. Was one also Van Miller? Did enjoy and missed it when it ended. -
Why Landon Jackson is the next MONSTER in the NFL

Or fall when the 6 game suspension ends for the other two. -
43 year career, wonder if they will replace him or just go with the 3 remaining. https://buffalonews.com/sports/professional/nfl/bills/article_0dc8ab03-a34b-4fbd-9ca7-60e712f32eb5.html

Bills Offseason moves to date & Projected Roster
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to GASabresIUFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
You got to remember there was no free agency back then so was more worthwhile for a team to draft a decent backup and hang on to him as he couldn't go anywhere. If the Bills drafted someone decent, lets say Sanders, he's hardly going to play and once his contract is up, he's going to bolt for the chance to play elsewhere. Practice time, pre-season, training camp were all longer back then too so the backup had time to actually play and develop. Read someplace that the backup gets about 6 snaps per week with the 1st team so how's a low drafted rookie ever going to get any good on a team like Buffalo? The 3rd string running the scout team has more opportunities. Available QB's are ither going to go to a team where the starter is on shaky ground so they know a couple bad weeks and that guy will be benched and I'll get my shot. Or you have a guy like Mitch who's been around the block a couple times and has come to realization, his destiny is to be a backup. Darnold is maybe an exception, but lets see how this year plays out first too. -

For what to pay them some amount of signing bonus so they can be cut the end of August. Barring an injury the five listed below are all on the team. Add in two TE's who even though Kincaid didn't live up to expectations last year are still threats that need too be taken seriously and need to be game planned for. Also have RB's that can catch passes and can run the ball behind a very effective O-line. Teams with star QB's don't need star WR's as they QB can make the WR look much better than they really are. -
One of the two isn't needed. Right now with not many WR's on the roster and a glut at CB think a better chance they keep Shenault, but if an experienced vet is signed at WR, could see it going the other way too. AJ may may initial 53 then week 6 when suspensions end, he gets traded, or maybe a suspended guy gets traded at that point, though hard to imagine a team trading for someone who just came off a 6 week suspension. Think AJ's future comes down to what they do with the two suspened players, could see one getting cut in Augest too likelt then AJ is safe..

Buffalo Bills Consensus Draft Grades
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Victory Formation's topic in The Stadium Wall
The one thing that surprised me a bit as we didn't take anyone, looking at the roster, the position group that to me is the thinnest is LB -
In 2013 the Bills were a bad team so much easier path for a rookie to look good. The only player that will even likely see the field enough to have a chance to win award is Hairston Barring injuries the odds are likely higher that Jackson won't even be active the first few weeks of the season than he wins RofY

With the draft over it is time for the udfa thread
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to scuba guy's topic in The Stadium Wall
32 teams all passed on him. So he likely signed with a team that he felt had spots on the roster open for him. I'd imagine most players drafted in late rounds 6 and 7 wish they weren't drafted so they could sign with whatever team they have a better shot at making. What are we going to see when camp opens, that he showed up? Maybe in about 3 years we'll see who was right.
