Anyone get a stadium focused group invite.
junior replied to Hammered a Lot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Did anyone else on here receive an invite to the focus groups a couple weeks ago? Am curious to know if the general sentiment in yours differed from mine. -
Bills fans and why the love of Blue Collar teams?
junior replied to Jrb1979's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agreed with the rest of the country continually taking shots. But Buffalo and the companies here certainly don't help the cause though. People here love to play up the "we're an underdog / hardworking" city as opposed to just existing. It comes through in a lot of advertising, marketing, and communications. -

Agreed, but it's hard to break/change a psyche of a community. It's certainly not white collar here, so people stick with what they know. -

junior replied to Jrb1979's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
To me, these are separate conversations/unrelated. I think that, yes, Buffalo loves "blue-collar" teams filled with players like Kyle Williams, Eric Wood, etc., because they see themselves and the broader community "in" those players. They're not braggadocious, flashy, or prima donnas. They're just hard workers who go to work and do their job. I think people don't want AB on this team mainly for the reasons Flip Johnson mentioned above (30+, big contract, would probably be unhappy here), as well as teef (the capital it would take to acquire him, him not fitting in with McDermott's team-first type of player, etc). -
This doesn't add up... 178 receptions and 9 TDs over 4 years "Headlines" "Deep free agent TE market" That's the headline of a deep TE market?

Bills sign C Spencer Long to 3 year deal
junior replied to One Buffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm not familiar - do you know what type of blocking scheme Johnson uses? -
Ehh. He's a legitimate nut case. I wouldn't put him in the same category as Davis and Boldin who just upped and quit.

Boldin and Davis, right? Was there anyone else?

Bills sign C Spencer Long to 3 year deal
junior replied to One Buffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Here's some info on him from last week: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25932213/jets-release-center-spencer-long-avoid-cap-hit In their first significant roster move under new coach Adam Gase, the New York Jets announced Tuesday they are parting ways with center Spencer Long. The Jets released Long to avoid a $3 million roster bonus, which would've become guaranteed if he had remained on the roster Wednesday. The expected move makes him a free agent. Long, 28, signed a four-year, $27.4 million contract last offseason after four seasons with the Washington Redskins. The Jets had hoped he would stabilize the center position, a weakness since Nick Mangold stopped playing in 2016, but the plan didn't materialize. Long played the second half of the season with a tendon injury in his right (snapping) hand, which affected his performance. The low point came in a Week 9 loss to the Miami Dolphins (who were then coached by Gase), during which he was off-target on at least seven shotgun snaps. Then-Jets coach Todd Bowles didn't pull him until late in the game, resulting in a torrent of criticism. Long never played center again. When he returned to the lineup two weeks later, he played left guard, where he stayed for the rest of the season. He wound up with 13 starts -- eight at center, five at left guard. The Jets structured his contract in a way that leaves no "dead" money on the 2019 salary cap. His entire $6.5 million cap charge comes off the books, increasing their cap-room surplus to about $100 million. They can use some of the money to sign a center because there is no heir apparent on the roster. -

I received an invite. Said no interest in PSLs. Said no to paying more for my current seats (section 133 behind the Bills bench). -

Jamal Adams On One Bills Live Today
junior replied to Halloween Land's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hate the Jets but loved Adams coming out. Wish he went to a different team as he's primed to be the best safety in the league and is a lot of fun to watch. -
They at least have a history of fielding competent teams and making the playoffs. We... do not. There's lots of fans in this thread saying that winning cures (almost) all. That's true. But we haven't exactly done a whole lot of winning in the last 20 years. Now combine that with the myriad of other factors Graham laid out in the article and you can understand why coaches threaten that they'll trade players to Buffalo.
