Thoughts outside the box: Move Hogan to CB
WotAGuy replied to BringBackFergy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
While we're at it, let's make Mario go both ways and play TE. He'd make the Pro Bowl as a Tony Gonzalez clone -
Will the Bills ever sign Charles Clay?

You are pretty good with other people's money! -
Don't forget to start a thread about how horrible Mike Schopp and WGR talk radio are!

What's the record for the greatest number of threads/views for a non-Bills player? Are we getting close? -
The Nickname and logo have no relationship to each other. Someone should start a thread about that.

Jerry Hughes signs 5-year deal with Bills
WotAGuy replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
God bless Jerry. More power to him - if I was lucky enough to be in his shoes I'd do the exact same thing. For me as a fan it's just a game. For him it's his livelihood. Go for it! And what do I care anyway? We have Matt Cassel! Can anybody say "second Wild Card spot"? Yeeeee. Haaawwww! -
I think the Bills are done shopping for QBs - outside of the draft. I think they'll take one in Round 2 or 3. That said - Cassel will be the Comeback Player of the Year and break the playoff drought in 2015. Now, where did I put my bong.......

An Interesting Quote In Regards To Buffalo, and The Bills
WotAGuy replied to yungmack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You are both wrong. Syracuse is far worse off than Buffalo and Rochester. I am proud as hell of my Syracuse and no one is going to tell me it's not the worst in the state, dammit. -

More like 1553 rushing and 536 receiving in 2014. That 1000/1500 combo had me in shock.

some of the same people that care enough to read your anonymous posts on a fan message board

Liked almost every one of them. As a spit-balling ideas kind of thing. Surprised I liked them - usually these kinds of redesigns on unis have no appeal to me.

Classic Bills Reminiscing (1980 Season update)
WotAGuy replied to WotAGuy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Been passing the off-season (and recuperating from double-hernia surgery) by reminiscing the classic Bills games/seasons..... Just read "Talking Proud" the 2005 book by Rick Blake about the 1980 Bills: It's a quick read, and if you were a fan during that season, it brings back some good memories.Has some insights into player/coach conversations and decision-making that are interesting and makes me wonder where they came from. I've read a few books from former Bills of that season (Dobler, Smerlas, Chuck Knox), so maybe they are tucked away in those books, or perhaps newspaper interviews (?)The 1980 team had a colorful personality, a rowdy reputation, and it was a different league on and off the field back then. This book does a good job of capturing the good old days.Nothing really new that surprised me; recaps of the key games highlighted important turning points bringing the season to life for me.Haslett was a maniac, fighting his teammates, most notably Isiah Robertson. Funny details of bar fights, including a finger-biting incident. Knox was a players coach for sure, but I didn't realize he was even more lax than Levy was. The two coaches had similar post-season success - never winning the biggest game of any season - and maybe the lax approach had something to do with that.Blake interjects his childhood memories into the action, which at times was a distraction, but added a 7th grader's perspective....which I remember having as well (only about ten years prior!).Lots of details about the Chamber of Commerce's "Talking Proud" campaign, which was interesting to see how it all came together. Buffalo has a long history of feeling slighted and dissed!All in all, a good trip down memory lane to a classic Bills' season. -
No. Not even close. Go back and watch those 1990s teams and see all the HOF players and All Pros that were playing together. The current team doesn't have the offense or defense to win it, even with Kelly. The current D is very good but not Super Bowl-winning good. I didn't feel this strongly until I recently watched the 1992 49ers No Punt game. Those Bills teams were loaded on all three phases.

Classic Bills Reminiscing (1980 Season update)
WotAGuy replied to WotAGuy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It was interesting to see the Bills strategy in this game. Thurman was in the inside slot with Reed and Beebe to the outside of him, and Lofton on the other side. Thurman was repeatedly matched up against Bill Romanowski in that formation and beat him like a drum over and over again, including for a TD reception. Both teams had so many weapons - SF receivers were running free all game. And Rice only played part of the first half due to a concussion. Ricky Watters was having a great rookie season already - it was only game 2 I think, but you could tell he was special. Red Cashion was the ref - he was a trip and one of the few refs that i actuallu enjoyed watching call a game. FIRST DOWN!!! -

Classic Bills Reminiscing (1980 Season update)

It's one of dozens and dozens of games I have on DVD, from VHS, from stone tablets...... -
Soothing my football withdrawal by watching classic Bills games. Watched the "No Punt" Bills-49ers game from September 1992: The talent of Kelly, Thurman and Andre is so far beyond anything we've had since then is stunning.Major downside was Trumpy as color commentator.Funny seeing a youngish Mike Shanahan as 49ers OC, and an even younger Jeff Fisher as DB coach.Geo Metros looked fugly even when brand new.Bruce did not have a great game. Walt Corey had him standing up on the left side, in a stance from the right and middle and still got stood up by Wallace and others. He did cause a fumble and key holding call though.Brad Lamb had an awesome porn stache.James Lofton was 36 that season and had set the career receiving yards mark the week before.Pete Metzleaars - just another in our long line of lumbering TEs. Two TDs and a career yardage game, including 50+ yd TD.Trumpy and Enberg didn't focus on the lack of punts as much as the total yards being piled up.Funny hearing them talk about a QB controversy in SF, and joking that there were no calls that week for Steve Bono to come in.Miller Genuine Draft - do they still "brew" that?Our D was loaded and they couldn't slow down SF at all for long stretches. Tom Rathman was a great fullback. He handled Bruce more than once."Candlestick" Park was named for a native bird!The Bills sideline gear was horrendous - white shirts with a spray-painted logo effect. Fun game to watch and exciting - even knowing the outcome.
