Agree with this list. I don't know if I would call McGahee a flat out bust, but he certainly was a huge headscratcher at the time considering Travis Henry was just coming off of a 1400 yard season and was pretty much in his prime...and Willis was recovering from one of the most devastating knee injuries I'd ever seen in college football.

[closed]Harvin retiring for good
smuvtalker replied to CanadianFan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This. As much as the signing and getting absolutely nothing out of Harvin pissed me off, it's hard to be mad at him or his agent for pulling off that great fleece job... -

Do Steelers fans BILL-ieve that we can beat the Jets?
smuvtalker replied to Vinaccia's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
"I know they're excited about 8-8 and we're excited they got us in." Sorry, but that line kinda got under my skin a bit. He thinks we're excited about our record this year?? I understand he's not a Buffalo Bill, and probably not a fan, but my goodness, is that how we're viewed throughout the league?? What NFL team for the love of beans and rice would be excited about 8-8, unless it got them into the playoffs? When the Steelers come to the Ralph next year, I hope we beat the livin fecal matter out of them... Sorry, that statement just really irked me.. -

Lmao @ Mario sharing his fridge! -
Definitely not. Ready to see what Tyrod can do with a full season under his belt and a full grasp of the system.

Spot on. Look at the momentum Carolina carried into this year following how they finished the season out last year....to win the final three games of the season would be absolutely wonderful. It would set the tone for a productive offseason, build confidence among players, re-ignite optimism amongst the fan base, and I think most of us on this board would be as pumped for a season as we've been in over a decade. When is the last time the Buffalo Bills had a 3 game winning streak?

Bills' 2016 Non-Division Opponents Finalized
smuvtalker replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Holee crap that's a brutal away schedule!!!! Heck even the Bal and Stl games could be L's.....damn that schedule looks tough right now... -
I don't think we're DEFINITELY gonna lose this one, but count me among those who don't think our chances are very good. I'll be watching along with the rest of us who still believe, and who still have hope for the playoffs this year. Do I have confidence in our team? Yep! Just not much, not against the Pats, not on Monday night in Foxboro, not with the refs in their back pocket, and not during a year when they have this "Us Against The World" mentality because of Deflategate. As much as it hurts to say it, the Pats have a greater chance of going undefeated the rest of the whole season than we do of winning Monday night. I hope like hell we shock the world, and if we win Monday night, Tuesday is most certainly going to be a sick day for me(ie alcohol poisoning). However, I just think the deck is stacked wayyyyy too far in their favor for us to win Monday night. Heck, Rex couldn't have put it better when he said that for us to win, we're going to have to play a darn near perfect game, and Brady and the Pats are going to have to have an off night. With that said.... Buffalo 37, New England 20

Doug Flutie Lost Both of His Parents this Morning
smuvtalker replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I remember learning in a psych class in college about the "Total Marriage". They said it was the type of marriage where both partners live pretty much as one, do everything together, have the same friends, basically are like one person. They said when one dies, the other usually follows quickly after. That is CRAZY to both die of heart attacks, an hour apart from each other. Just wow. Condolences to a Buffalo Bill that is beloved in practically all of our hearts... -

Stat question...if a QB is running the ball
smuvtalker replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Even if it's a designed run, if the QB is the one with the ball and he's tackled behind the LOS, it's still a sack correct? -
Bills Among NFL's 1st Quarter Disappointments
smuvtalker replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Can't say that I have a problem with that article. Inconsistency couldn't be a better word to describe us so far. The thing this year that has put more gray hairs on my head than anything is the Bills followed BOTH decisive beatdowns with complete mental meltdowns, AT HOME nonetheless...It seems that every time Buffalo starts getting a little national love, it goes right to their head and they come out that next Sunday and put up stinkers. Rex needs to get that trend fixed in a hurry. IMO, the inconsistency is the ONLY thing I can say that reminds me of the Bills teams of the past... -
Tyrod = Jeff Blake v. 2.0 (or who do you say?)
smuvtalker replied to The Frankish Reich's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Tyrod plays like Tyrod. Jeff Blake really doesn't come to mind when I watch him. The more I sit and think who he reminds me of, the more of a blank I draw. -
Darby and Gilmore Holding It Down on the Corner
smuvtalker replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Seems to be the blueprint for success against us....it's a very hard offense to shut down, and Brady and co are by far the masters of it....sad to say...and Eli has two Super Bowl rings. I think we fared a little better vs Eli, especially in that 2nd half, but the first half of the game he was utilizing it to perfection. -
The Truth About This Team
smuvtalker replied to Doug Flutie Band's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree. We do have a TON of talent all around. Although the numbers and statistics so far this year would disagree, this team is definitely more talented than last years roster. With that said, anything less than a playoff birth would be unacceptable IMO. So many posters have pointed out what I truly believe, and that is this team still needs time to gel and learn to play together. New ownership, new HC, OC, and DC, we are bound to experience some growing pains. I'm very optimistic about what I'm seeing so far from the team, and I have no doubt that things are headed in the right direction. This is not your father's (aka Same Old Bills) team anymore. I do think we can get everything together in time to make a postseason run, but it's got to start with Rex. He has got to get these guys to not only learn to play together, but to play SMART...leading the league in penalties is not something to be proud of. The team often takes on the image and demeanor of their head coach, and that's exactly what Buffalo is doing right now. I'm good with the Bills being considered "A Big Bad Bully", but I'm not good with them being considered a dumb, undisciplined bully. Coughlin's remark that we would beat ourselves really struck a nerve with me, and probably because it was nothing but the truth. Losing both home games to start the season was not something I expected. A 2-2 mark at the quarter isn't great, but I've seen enough of this team to know we have the talent to put up 11-12 wins. Once the Bills start playing smarter football, and Rex eats a few slices of humble pie, and passes them out to the team when they start believing their own hype, we'll be fine. I think the thing that's most encouraging to me is that in the Giants game, no matter how poorly we played in the first half, no matter how many times we shot ourselves in the foot with dumb(or phantom) penalties, we were never out of the game until the final minutes. If you think of seasons past, if we played that poorly of a game for 35 minutes, there's no way we'd still be in it. This team IS different. So I do agree with the OP, on all points, with the exception that we aren't ready to be a playoff team just yet. We already are a playoff team. We just have to learn to play like one. -
The "can Dan" Carpenter thread
smuvtalker replied to Pine Barrens Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I had no freakin idea that the goal posts had been narrowed from 18 feet to 14 feet, IN ADDITION to moving the line of scrimmage back 13 yards....holy crap!!! -
Agreed. Those two in particular were head-scratchers. He puts those two on the money and both of them are TD's.

The "can Dan" Carpenter thread
smuvtalker replied to Pine Barrens Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think cutting Carpenter is the answer. I agree with some other posters, he is just in a bit of a funk right now, and he has been dealing with an injury. His 51 yarder split the uprights. I think we need to let him work this thing out...I really hope Rex doesn't cut him, it would be a real knee jerk reaction, and in my opinion, looking for a scapegoat(albeit an inappropriate one). Carpenter is NOT the reason we lost this game today. 17 penalties, the refs, missing a tackle that ends up turning into a 50 yard touchdown run, those are much more valid reasons to chalk today's loss to.
