Texans Hire Bill O'Brien as Their Next Head Coach
JimBob2232 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A couple comments on this. 1. While his 15-9 record is not great, he kept the team together, and continued the psu tradition of success with honor. His intangibles are through the roof. 2. Matt Mcgloin was a worthless scrub walkon QB (and a bad one) until Obrien. Now he is the starter for the raiders. This is nothing short of a miracle for anyone who saw mcgloin pre Obrien. 3. Obrien needs more time learning to be a head coach. His in game management is very poor. 4. He is a man of extreme integrity. He has promised his kids will stay at psu for 4 years (min). As recently as today he has told recruits "ignore the noise, I'm staying at penn state" 5. One of his kids is disabled and requires significant care. The penn state area is one of the top areas in the country for the care he needs. Coincidentally, Houston is also very good, but it is possible no amount of money will be enough to change health care providers again. 6. He has a 6m buyout at penn state. That is significant for any nfl team to pay for an unproven coach. All things considered, I'd take a chance on him if I was an nfl team. But I think all parties would be better suited if he stayed in the college game for a couple more years. -

Pats lost. Playoff dreams are now (officially) over. Ugh. -
John Urschel-Penn State OL, Buffalo Native, Math Genius
JimBob2232 replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Must be that penn state culture problem we've heard so much about. Good thing this kid is being punished, and not allowed to play in a bowl game... -

I was never so much anti-lynch, as I was anti-whatever-the-heck-we-do-with-running-backs-in-buffalo. For some reason, our front office went through a stretch (and still are I fear) where they feel they need a top notch RB to be successful, and they keep drafting running backs when we dont need one. In 2003 we had Travis Henry. No need to take a luxury pick on Willis McGahee. Sure he turned out good, but we didnt need to do that. In 2007 we had McGahee, yet we drafted Marshawn Lynch. In 2010 we take CJ Spiller...yet we had Lynch & Fred Jackson. If the trend continues...We are due for a 1st round RB pick in 2014! Or we can just use FA pickups at RB. My god, look at how many low-draft pick RBs are dominating in this league. You dont need first round RBs anymore (unless they are the elite Peterson type backs). This is probably my biggest grip about the front offices of the past. When was the last time you ever heard a team in the NFL say "you know what...we really need to find us a good RB...our RB play is KILLING us"?! Never! Because anyone with a pulse can run through a hole if it exists.

Fire Doug Marrone, Draft Another 1st Round QB
JimBob2232 replied to BuffaloBillsForever's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Dont fire Marrone...but I am of the mind you take a 1st round QB every year until you find one... -
Pats* pull another one out of their posteriors
JimBob2232 replied to BRH's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The good news is that htey have to pull these out at the last minute these days... The end is near. Hopefully it coincides with our rise... -
Official Playoff Possibilities Thread
JimBob2232 replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Its comical at this point. But if we win out (highly doubtful), not too much unrealistic needs to happen to let us get in. Basically the "better/favorite" team needs to win all games except: Week 16: Green Bay over PIT, Cleveland over Jets Week 17: Jets over Miami Do-able...but we need to win out...which is just laughable. -
List of Washington General moments by the Buffalo Bills
JimBob2232 replied to 1B4IDie's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Oh god. Seriously...Its bad when I stop and think of all the heartbreaking games over the years. Let me add a couple. 2004 - vs Jacksonville - Jacksnoville Touchdown as time expires...Lose 13-10 2005 - vs Pittsburgh - Week 17...all we need is a win vs. their 3rd stringers to make the playoffs...and we lose. 2007 - MNF vs Dallas - Tony Romo throws 5 INTs, and the bills lose after Dallas scores 9 points in 20 seconds Ugh. Why do I like this team... -

There is a scenario where we Can get in at 7-9....but after today...i think its time to pack it in. -

NFL Week 6 Winners: Kiko and the Bills' draft class
JimBob2232 replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good teams string 2-3 of these draft classes together, then supplement with FA. We're heading the right direction, but need continued success and another good draft next year. -

Bills Trade for Lions QB Thaddeus Lewis
JimBob2232 replied to BRAWNDO's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Also, evidently he started one game for Cleveland in 2011. Went 22-32 204yds 1TD/1INT. Sounds like buffalo QB numbers to me! -
Bills Trade for Lions QB Thaddeus Lewis
JimBob2232 replied to BRAWNDO's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What do you offer the lions for a re-tread QB who was likely to be cut by the lions, and likely to be cut by the Bills? I get we need arms right now, but I am curious what we offered. Even a 7th round pick seems excessive! -
Are we still mathematically alive?

We win the division based on the "alphabet" tie-breaker. -

Is Jeff George still available? -
Metro is feasible...provided you don't mind the mile or so walk. Morgan blvd is the closest station. Other than that...drive... But expect to pay 20 bucks or so for parking. Tickets are easy. About 10 bucks right now on stubhub. I went to the preseason game in DC a couple years ago and it was about half full.

Mariano Rivera's entrance in the All-Star Game
JimBob2232 replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I can't wait until the asg MVP (or some other player critical to the win) goes traded to the other league and makes it to the World Series with his new team. That will be fun!
